Chapter 406: A Forced Mission

( Leo's POV )

A grand welcome awaited Leo when he returned to Crest-Hill Barony, arranged by the Emperor.

Military personnel belonging to the Royal Army, waited for him and Ben dutifully at the Barony's entrance, holding large banners and giving the duo a traditional salute.

"Ho—, never thought I'd see the day when the Empire hails me as a hero," Ben said, stroking his chin in amusement as he read the text on the banner that the royal army personnel were holding.

For Ben who had spent his entire life as an outlaw, getting a military salute out of nowhere felt comedic, however, although he did not take it too seriously, he waved the saluting soldiers politely, acknowledging their efforts to greet him.
