Kapitel 353: Meeting Before Dawn

After leaving the presence of his Majesty, I found myself in the Palace courtyard.

The early morning breeze tingled my nostrils, and I felt the cool embrace of the vanishing darkness.

In a few hours, it would be dawn.

Then… the real challenge would begin!

As I enjoyed the fresh night breeze, I felt the subtle presence of someone approaching me.

"I figured you'd come to see me." I smiled, looking behind me.

Still wearing his cloak and multitude of Magic Items, was one of the most important figures of the Eastern Kingdom.

"Well, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that you expected even this." He smiled.

"Well… you are a Grand Mage, after all. Since you're the closest to His Majesty, I expect that you'd have some concerns about me… and my plan." I smiled.

"Well, I'm glad you understand." The man, Elrich Lendertwale spoke in a polite manner.

I knew very little about him, but… I was certain about one thing.

'He's not my enemy.'

And so, I greeted him with a warm smile.
