Chapter: 1797
The crown prince slowly turned his head toward the source of the voice. He could see Duke Huten approaching him with a smile on his face. Valentino turned his head back to see Cale, who was not smiling.
��I will treat you to a delicious feast later.�
�Whenever it is best for you, your highness. I will be waiting.�
Valentino looked toward Cale with a complicated expression. He could see the blood on the corner of Cale�s lips. He could also see Cale�s completely soaked uniform.
�Then I will return to my territory now.�
The crown prince silently watched Cale walking toward the southern tower with his head down. Choi Han and Hilsman followed behind Cale while the two wyverns flew back up and headed toward the southern tower as well.
�Commander! That was amazing! I�ve never seen something like that ever before!�
However, Cale ended up running into Duke Huten. Duke Huten threw away the seriousness of a sword master and seemed as if he could not hide his joy.
�The necromancer�s strength was so thrilling. So was the sword master�s power. I was shocked at your shield as well. We all survived thanks to you. Thank you very much.�
The Duke did not care for following the noble hierarchy as he bowed toward Cale and showed his sincere thanks. Seeing both the crown prince and the Duke being so respectful to him seemed nice.
However, Cale did not think that way.
Why?
�But it looked like the enemy�s purple orb was hit by some type of thunderbolt before it blew up. Was that also someone from your side?�
It was because Duke Huten was scoping out their strength like this.
�Nice my ass. It�s just full of scheming.�
But Cale preferred dealing with someone like this over someone like Valentino. Cale�s expression turned serious.
�I�m not sure. I thought the Empire had done that. It wasn�t you?�
�Huh? Our Empire? It wasn�t us.�
�Was there someone else there?�
Cale�s expression turned serious.
��I�m not sure.�
�I see. I guess I need to look into it. I thought that you had prepared that large thunderbolt with magic since you did not use your sword and just stood in the back leading the troops.�
Duke Huten�s expression turned odd.
�Is he complaining that I did not fight in the vanguard with my sword?� JrNovels.com
