Chapter 277: Chapter 277 - A slew of rewards (Part 1)

"[Orc] Rise, Roas. It is me who should be apologizing to you, my first one. I have neglected you and because of that, you suffered greatly. I hope you can forgive your foolish master."

After pulling the kneeling Roas from the ground, Aiden bowed deeply, as an apologetic gesture, causing great shock to all of his servants. 

Roas, who was the most affected, was flustered, unsure of how to react to the gesture, he stood still, frozen on the spot. After a few seconds, however, awakening from his stupor, he hurriedly reached for his master, pulling him up from the bowing posture he kept.

"[Orc] P-please, master… there is no need for that. It is my duty as your guard to keep you safe. Wherever you point is where I should be striking. It is my failure that I was unable to complete the assignment you have entrusted me with." He stopped for a moment, taking a deep breath to settle his thoughts.
