“What, what is it? Why are you so surprised?”

Max frohen she saw that it was only Ruth, who ridiculously shrugged

“Don’t pretend to be i-innocent… What do you expect when you sneak up onup on who? I walked perfectly normally, didn’t I?”

“You have to at least make a s-sound”

“Did I have to holler and say, ‘Ruth the Great Wizard has arrived’?”

He retorted unwaveringly and pulled a chair across froet angry at Ruth’s rude attitude Even though they hadn’t seen each other in a long time, Ruth’s attitude reloo through it

“There are several wrong descriptions Lizardons rather than being a sub-racial monster Their bodies contain ic spells There would be better details and explanation in Lord Calypse’s records than this book”

“Between d-dragon subspecies and s-sub-raciald-difference?”

“Of course, there’s a big difference Sharing a coical abilities, such as their unique dragon breath They also have excellent anti-ic spells don’t work on them That is what makes them so difficult to defeat” He placed the book back on the desk and scratched his head in agony “Lizardher level coic, and have outstanding physical capabilities Thus, they are hard to kill with either sword or ic One of them is harder to deal with than ten trolls combined”

With a new i of a beast that looked like a lizard and a huether It had a reptile-like face, a e beast did not appear as clever as he said As she squinted her eyes to read the description beloondering how dangerous of a ertips, as if trying to call her attention

“By the hat h the book of ht by the young knights Itabout…”

Ruth tapped the tip of his chin with a thoughtful expression and spoke “I was told that you healed an injured knight froic You must have heard the news then”

Max nodded stiffly “North of Livadon… I heard that t-there is an arhts…be involved in the e-expedition?”

“It’s still too early to be certain However, there is a possibility they will be called for reinforcements”

Max felt like all the blood drained fro that response, her heart still tightened at the thought of being separated fro the far distance of Pa would the expedition take this ti her pale complexion, added cautiously

“There’s a lot of work left in Anatol which the lord has to oversee We have discussed it until the wee hours of theyesterday and we have come into conclusion that either Sir Hebaron or Sir Uslin will take and lead a part of the troops shall they be called for reinforcements”

“I-Is that true?” Ruth nodded with a wry ser question, she was unable to hide the relief on her face “Unless it is inevitable, Lord Calypse will not leave Anatol for a long period of ti project Moreover, it’s been less than a year since the Red Dragon conquest, we can’t leave the territory eain”

“I-inevitable circu Riftan will join the expedition in case that happens?”

Ruth hesitated to answer her question but eventually confessed frankly “If the situation in Livadon takes the worse turn, Lord Calypse will have to co Ruben appoints Lord Calypse to join the expedition, it won’t be easy for him to escape his order”

Ruth fu the possibilities, and then sighed deeply “There are so hts have to follow ‘Protect the weak, obey the monarch, and fulfill their duties to the way of the sword’ Lord Calypse is not an ardent believer of chivalry, however… one cannot ignore these coe the reputation that he has worked so hard to build “

“R-right…”

Max’s face darkened as she recalled the words of Princess Agnes about the king suspecting Riftan’s loyalty There was a chance that King Ruben would go to the extent of noreedoms was a treaty created for the sake of peace and safety of the continent’s whole population It was made under the jurisdiction of court laws, even Riftan didn’t have the power to easily defy it

Max gazed at the drawings of the hideous beasts through the book’s pages and bit her lips ‘til it hurt Her sto enormous arht was, there was no guarantee that he would be safe or unharmed in battle Several times, she had been made aware of Riftan’s recklessness so she was certain that he wouldn’t spare hiht like hell in the front lines
