Chapitre 142: ...GOT THEM THIS TIME!

Duke Harper clenched his hand under the table as he looked towards the King, who he obviously thought conspired with Duke Hugh to make him lead the troop to investigate and kill the enemy.

All of them knew how dangerous and unpredictable the Outers are. And since there's still no information that they knew about them, it's riskier.

"What do you say, Duke Harper?" King Matthias IV asked as he looked at the Duke with a smile.

"Of course, Your Majesty. That would be an honor for me."

Duke Harper showed them a smile but it was evident how his red orbs were saying something else.

Meanwhile, Hugh glanced at him with his sharp eyes and smirked in mockery.

All of the nobles who were conspiring to make the Duke face the new enemy while they enjoyed the show as they comfortably are in the comfort of their walls were gritting their nails through their skin in anger.
