章 227: Encouragement

"I don't know what to tell you, Yoichi. Perhaps you're right, and I acted without thinking of the consequences. However, if the imperial guards were to come looking for you, I would stop them from taking you away! I would tell the Emperor that you were the only one who discovered the threat of the Void Summoners and that, thanks to your help, their advance towards Goldhaven has been stopped!" Takamori insisted, repeatedly touching his moustache as a sign of nervousness.

"Even a selfish man like the Emperor must acknowledge your exploits. If he imprisoned you, the news would spread immediately, creating dissension among the citizens of the capital," the guild leader added.
