However, the atmosphere was serious.

Cale debated whether he should leave everything to Alberu and run away.

It was at that moment.

�Young master-nim!�

Cale could see someone grabbing the cage bars while waiving toward him.
His eyes opened wide as he started to speak.

�Miss Cage?�

Cage, the crazy priestess in The Birth of a Hero but now just an excommunicated priestess, was smiling while imprisoned inside the cage.

�Hello, young master-nim! It�s been so long!�

Cale was shocked after seeing how happy she seemed to be to see him.

�Why is she so happy?�

Cage seemed oddly excited.
But that was just the beginning.

�Young master-nim!�
�Your highness!�
�Commander-nim! Sword master-nim!�
�Your highness!�

The hostages all came up to the bars and greeted them with tears and smiles.

Those greeting soon turned into cheering and Cale, Alberu, and Choi Han became surrounded by those cheers.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah�

Cale peeked to his side as the cheering continued.

��Aigoo.�

Alberu had a benign smile on his face while warmly looking at the citizens.
Choi Han who was carrying the crown prince had a warm gaze as well.

�Cough!�

Alberu lightly coughed at that moment and another chunk of black blood spurted out of his mouth.
The cheering instantly stopped and silence filled the area.

�Your highness! You must return to the castle immediately!� JrNovels.com
