Bab 46: The Uproar, Arthur's Appearance

David's lazy voice boomed, "Shouldn't you also join us, Duke Wilhem?"

His gaze remained fixed on a point 700 meters ahead, and his words caused everyone within earshot to catch their breath.

"What!"

"Is Duke Wilhem coming too?"

"Shit! Did the three of them really gather?

The sudden exclamation drew excited murmurs from the crowd. 

They had never seen the three most powerful figures in the entire Balka Empire together in one place. Each of them was known to be elusive, with their subordinates handling most of their duties.

Emperor Alex, who had been quiet until now, wore a faint smile as if he had anticipated this moment.

He did not speak, curious to see how David would proceed.

Emperor Balka thought to himself, "This is getting interesting," and allowed himself a smile.

"It seems there is no hiding from your perception, David."
