If Qian Weining knew that the Berkeley family's patriarch would make use of Melgor's backing from the House of Norman, he would never have reported it no matter what. He was willing to fight for the Knights of the Inferno's glory, but that did not mean that he was willing to get sent to his death.
As soon as Melgor returned, Qian Weining was informed that the civilian members of the caravan could return to York County by themselves. However, the Knights of the Inferno led by Qian Weining were to escort Melgor to the Norman family.
Along the way, they would have to avoid the Tudor family's cataphract scouts before cautiously moving northwards.
When Qian Weining thought of the danger involved, his scalp went numb.
In the middle of the night, a slender but agile figure sneaked out of a room and moved steadily like a lizard, sticking close to the wall with ease.
