Chapter 136: The End Of The Beginning

 "Gil?" Evan who was helping the archduke up called out as I stood up, Malik naturally looked back. 

 "Brat! Who said you could run away, I can see you had fun here!" 

 "Haha, it is nice seeing you after years, your face has gotten more manly but I see your manner of speech has not. Bastard" I muttered the last part.

 "Uh? Crazy fool? What did you say?" He said with a distorted facial expression. 

 "It seems your manners have even gotten worse." I looked around and could not see Emperor Luitharn and Agaliarept. 

 'They are gone.' Ana said to me telepathically. 

 'Ah, I see... so it seems I have missed much, we have two guys and a girl I do not know, the archduke of Binneniel, Evan, and Malik.'

 "Evan we should leave before Emperor Jaabir comes..." I said to him. 

His countenance fell, "You are right, we are in no condition to fight Emperor Jaabir should he reach here."
