章 387: [Bonus chapter] Mate

The guards looked at Fafnir as if he had grown two horns on his head. They disbelieved him. "Who are you?" one of them warned, pointing his spear at him. 

Very confidently, he replied, "I am the messenger who is supposed to bring this news to you!" 

"He is conning!" said another one. "Seize him and take him to the dungeons! How dare you speak such nonsense?" 

"Why would I say something so grave so casually?" Fafnir growled. "If you don't want to go, say so. I have to inform others as well!" 

Suddenly, several soldiers were seen running towards the palace gates. Everyone became alert. They looked at each other and then at Fafnir. He shrugged and then began to leave. But he walked through the corridor slowly and soon he heard heavy footsteps of the guards mingling with those of the soldiers. He turned back immediately and then rushed to Tabit's bedchamber.
