บท 387: The sixth one

The marine soldiers guarded Cain and his friends until they reached the castle gate. The king awaited them there with a bloody cape. "What happened here?" Cain asked.

"Just had to do some hands-on work, it's nothing special," Baltos replied with a smile.

Cain approached Baltos, he can see the sweat dripping from his forehead "Things seem to have taken a harder turn than expected. We will go rest, you take care of everything else and we can discuss the details tomorrow. Is that all right?" Cain asked.

"Took it from my mouth, I'm old and my back is already hurting. See you tomorrow." Baltos agreed, the day was almost over and he wanted to rest.

Cain and the rest were then guided to their rooms, the king seems to have given Cain a room in the middle of the princess quarter, he even left the keys to their rooms on his bed. 'This man is trying hard, but they are safe in my hands.' Cain grabbed the keys and threw them on the desk.
