Chapter 398: 395 Mental Cage_1

"Your Majesty, we will go with you,"

Ole stood up, with Lass right behind him.

"There's no need," Duge looked at them, smiled faintly, "This trip to see Duke Linqi may very well result in a battle. Your martial prowess is not enough; should anything unexpected occur, it would burden me with guilt for the rest of my life. You are all still young, there's room for growth and brighter futures ahead. You should not perish here."

"Your Majesty..." Lass wanted to say something more.

"This is an order," interrupted Duge, disregarding the silent yet touched—and somewhat guilty—expressions in their eyes, he walked out of the prison with Old Gao, relishing in the character enhancements that came from his integrity.

This is indeed the innate charm of a noble person!

Eager to help, daring to act, fearless against the powerful, steadfast in belief, open and honest, sacrificing for others...

All these virtuous qualities could be linked to integrity.
