191 Chapter 188 Duke Brago (2/2)

Holding up his hands, Joseph said, ”I'm afraid you will have to turn your notes into my father, William, at the end of the day. I'm sorry for making you scramble and think I wanted them for this meeting.”

They all calmed down, and set their notes down, to listen.

”I have dealt with another attack on our kingdom from this evil G.o.d NURKONG, and the army he sent to cause us harm, not to mention the hero's he summoned from some other realm. In order to end him, I must obtain the META rune, but the path to that is still long. I wanted all of you here, to know that I am trying my hardest to end this, and will be leaving immediately after this meeting, to continue on the path to obtain the rune.”

He was relieved to see no one was upset by his words, and many seemed to be in agreement that he needed to leave as soon as possible. If only NURKONG would leave them alone long enough, he might be able to get this done.

Answering a few questions some of them had, in regards to the free meat he was providing to the kingdom, Joseph took Stella's hand in preparation to teleport.

(INCOMING MESSAGE FROM DUKE BRAGO. HE WAS THE ONE WHO WARNED YOU ABOUT THE HEROES.)

Joseph sighed.

TELEPORT.

They were in his personal office, instead of near the gnome villages.

”What's up?” asked Stella, curiously.

”I have one last thing to deal with,” he said, sitting in his chair behind his desk.

Joseph turned to Stella, stood and took her hand again.

TELEPORT.
