Chapter 761: Duel and Wager

Arthur led the two toward the gardens made available for the knights. The ceremony was supposed to be held on this balcony, surrounded by countless lush bushes mottled with flowers. The two acted as if they were examining the place filled with knights as they walked through the gardens.

"You are a man of many faces," said Babo as the two entered some gardens, walking through them. "Elnardo will make sure no one is listening, so the two of us can talk."

"As you wish, commander," bowed the blonde knight before departing, leaving the two standing while admiring the scenery.

Silence descended between the two. Arthur needed to think of a way to convince this woman to help him against the emperor, but he had used his bargaining card already. It was one thing when she owed him a favor but another when he had to ask her for one.
