Chapter 347: Chapter 328 Bestow Upon You Guilt
The King’s messenger was garbed in a splendid and meticulous uniform, a light grey suit of exquisite workmanship, wearing a badge on the chest that bore the emblem of the Holy Grail, signifying his identity.
He tried to remain as calm as possible while he gazed at the two high-and-mighty figures before him.
Whether it was “Raven” Byrne Fischer or “Dragon Taming Lord” Aldrich Romann, both were influential members of great noble families in Cyart, with resounding reputations. Even he, as a messenger of the Adley Royal Family, could not afford to offend them.
However, deep inside, the King’s messenger also knew very well that there was someone he absolutely could not afford to offend—the King himself.
Just what kind of person was His Majesty Noah, the new king? He couldn’t grasp that, only knowing that he had no other choice.
Regardless, he, as a messenger, had to act according to His Majesty the King’s instructions.
However, the situation now seemed somewhat off.
Quietly, the King’s messenger touched the second letter he carried.
Byrne advanced calmly, and spoke indifferently to the King’s messenger, “You have had a long journey.”
“Please return and tell His Majesty Noah that we have an urgent situation and must return to our families immediately. We will provide a thorough explanation afterwards. We will surely find a way to seek His Majesty Noah’s forgiveness later on, and we hope His Majesty can grant us some leniency,” he said.
“This…”
The King’s messenger fell into thought.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally continued to ask, “Lord Byrne and Lord Aldrich, are you both certain you wish to leave?”
Aldrich spoke with a smile, saying serenely, “Why? Perhaps you intend to stop us?”
The King’s messenger hastened to shake his head and promptly replied, “No, of course not, Lord Aldrich, only the King said that if you both didn’t wish to return, then I should read another command.”
An ominous premonition stirred deep inside Byrne, and frowning, he said,
“Another command?”
“Yes.”
The King’s messenger quickly produced another letter with a golden edge and took out a scroll written with His Majesty Noah’s new order. Then his expression underwent a drastic change, and his body began to tremble slightly.
“How can this be…”
He took a deep breath, trying to speak, but for a long time no words came out.
“This…”
Byrne sensed that something was increasingly amiss, and he immediately pressed, “What exactly is the command?”
The King’s messenger looked at him, opened his mouth, but still did not speak.
Byrne no longer needed to ask, as it was abundantly clear in his heart that His Majesty Noah’s second command must be problematic!
Otherwise, it would not have caused the King’s messenger to tremble uncontrollably, hesitate, and remain speechless for so long—an envoy professionally trained would rarely lose their composure like this.
Chris, Darren, and Amos all frowned in confusion as well.
At that moment, Byrne and Aldrich exchanged glances.
Suddenly, they understood what the new command must be!
Without a doubt, only such a command could make the King’s messenger before them tremble, hesitate, and be at a loss for words for so long.
Turning around, Byrne said, “We must set sail at once! We can’t delay any longer!”
Because that command could threaten the very life of the King’s messenger!
“The command is, is…”
The King’s messenger shook uncontrollably, eventually falling to his knees and bowing his head.
With an impassive face, Chris used telekinesis to take the golden-edged scroll into his hands and immediately opened it, while Byrne quickly glanced at it.
He showed a look of surprise and then handed the letter to Aldrich.
After reading it, Aldrich fell silent, shook his head, and said calmly,
