章 508: Delegated Burden

Kieran had become accustomed to being the person everyone else relied on, which kept him with the narrow mindset that he must be the reason things happened. 

But that wasn't true. 

He needn't be the only one to shoulder the load. A score of competent people surrounded him, and in this Trial, the Cardinal of War and Flame was his superior.

He had once been called the Berserk King, but somewhere along the way, he lost touch with his savage roots.
