Capítulo 254: Weakness

Shaka and I were both taken aback by this sudden question, but we reacted quite quickly since it wasn't as surprising.

After all, we already suspected that the duke knew that we were from Shadow Garden, or else the duke wouldn't have acted this way around us.

Since he wasn't beating around the bush anymore and playing unaware, there was no reason for us to pretend either.

This was a dangerous situation, so we should all do what we need to do.

I gave a simple nod in response to this.

Seeing this, the duke said, "Has there been any response? Are they going to send reinforcements?"

There was a hopeful tone at the end of his voice.

I turned to look at Shaka and he gave a slight shake of his head.

I gave a sigh before saying, "We haven't heard back from our superior yet, so we can't give you any information."

The duke's expression sank when he heard this.
