Finally, Ferdel gave up defending him.
âThe lord abandoned the knights to come here.â
ââ¦â¥.â
When Caitel is silent, Ferdel speaks carefully. However, he seemed to have already given up halfway.
âThere were about 20, meaning all of them are at the place of the riot. They were there too. Theyâre from the Spring Morning Knights. â¦But theyâre captured.â
Caitel couldnât understand that theyâre captured, but then the next word of Ferdel hit him.
âApparently, 10 are already dead.â
Caitel took out the sword without a word. But Ferdel feels rather anxious with this unnaturally calm reaction, and try to defend which wouldnât work out at all.
âLooks like there was a strong knight there too! And they seem to have some influence there, soâ¦â
Caitel said nothing. He just stared at Ferdel, whoâs talking, and asked coldly.
âWhere is he now?â
Ferdel sighs as he feels Caitelâs furious spirit that he would kill him if Ferdel donât answer him. Heâll defend him, but he didnât seem to want to die with him.
ââ¦at the government estate.â
Caitel left the office without hesitation.
There was a glimpse of Ferdelâs voice from behind.
âOh, Iâm screwed!â
Caitel headed straight to the government estate without hesitation. The attendants who follow him are suddenly confused and chase after him, putting question marks on their faces. Whether or not, Caitel moved to search a place where that trashy lord wouldâve to stay. Ferdel said he came to the imperial palace to ask for help, so it was obvious where he would be waiting.
âWhere is he?â
The servants leave with their heads down.
âThat way.â
The attendants show the way. They didnât seem to know what was going on but seemed to know that if they misled him, their neck would be cut off. It wasnât really hard to find the lord.
âYour Majesty?â
âSo, itâs you.â
He realized him as soon as he saw the lord.
The sudden appearance of the emperor made the lord appear surprised. Put down the tea he was drinking and bend his head right away. The lord looked as if he was suddenly struck by lightning while enjoying tea time peacefully.
âGreetings, Your Majesty. May you reach Evangeâ¦â
âYou abandoned the knights who were protecting you. Is that true?â
Heâs not in the mood for getting greeting.
âHow dare he flee and abandon his own knights. Yet he was the guts to come here and greet me?â
Caitel was quietly mad. At the sudden anger of the emperor, the Lord opens his eyes wide.
