Chapter 1298: Lord Parker's Escape

Lord Parker did not object to Lord Macht's insistence that they leave the battlefield and sail as quickly as possible to Caira.

Given the circumstances, this was the only logical thing left to do.

But for the time being, the only thing that seemed to occupy Lord Parker's mind was the humiliation of tucking tail and running once again.

"Alexander! Achillas!" He thus uttered with extreme bitterness, each having a very different meaning.

Towards Alexander, it was bitterness over the loss. 

While towards Achillas, it was the bitterness over not being able to save him.

And it was particularly the latter point that hounded the young lord the most as Lord Parker could not help but feel his heartache at the thought of his lover having to spend even more time with the hated enemy.
