Kapitel 190: Going For A Hunt

The knights assembled again in the discussion room, responding to Kyren's summons. After the previous commotion, the grand duke swiftly revoked the plan to report about the Bargesians and declare war against Ardel. 

"We shall not proceed," Kyren declared with a solemn face.

The knights contemplated as the grand duke's decision weighed heavily on their minds.

"But, Your Highness…" Eli halted as soon as he noticed Kyren's piercing glare. 

A contemplative silence enveloped the room as the weight of the situation settled upon everyone present. The sensitivity of the grand duke regarding Anna was well-known, and the mere thought of her getting hurt caused a collective unease. 

The memory of the grand duke's intense reaction during a previous incident at the camp, when Anna had selflessly donated her blood, lingered in their minds. And so, they had to be careful with their words.
