Chapter 243: Viscount Prothus (1)

The Viscount's residence is protected by high walls and many guards. It's almost like entering a royal palace. Does he need protection from his peasants so much?

It would be enough to stop killing and abducting people to have a peaceful land. Unarmed folks-men do not rise against their lords without motive.

«Good evening, your grace,» Viscount Prothus says when he can look at us. «It's an honour to have you here.»

Now, we just need to explain what we are doing so far from Kyre.

«Likewise,» Alexander replies, cold like I haven't heard him in a while.

Well, this is his usual behaviour with strangers and outsiders. But it's been so long since the last time he used this tone.

«What brings you here in my humble home?»

Humble? Ah, whatever.
