Chapter 51: Speech to the Townspeople

'Can he feel it?'

This question was on Kael's mind as he looked at the old man standing before him.

If, like Tharon, he could feel exactly what his blessing was, he was going to have a difficult time.

If not, everything was fine. But the alternative... It was something he didn't want to deal with.

"A reward... you say?"

The old man's words echoed in his ears. And then the next.

"Do you want to become a dog of the Empire to gain power?"

Kael waited a moment, his eyes narrowed.

What was his purpose? What did he want to get stronger for?

The answer was simple. To kill the man who killed his mother. To crush him... To make him suffer in front of everyone. And making sure that nothing could stop him while doing so.

But this man was now under the Empire. So... if he really joined the Empire, he would be part of perhaps the greatest power in the world, which also protected the man he wanted to kill.
