บท 403: Dungeon Outbreak [Part 1]

“Nicole, you’ve grown so much since the last time I saw you,” Mayor Otto said with a smile. “How is your Mother? Is she recovering from her illness?”

“She is,” Nicole replied. “You really don’t plan to leave, Uncle?”

Otto shook his head firmly. “I will live and die with this city. That is the promise I have made to His Majesty.”

“Uncle, how many guards and adventurers are left to defend this place?” Nicole inquired.

Mayor Otto was a very close friend of Nicole’s mother since both of them had attended Brynhildr Academy when they were young.

He was also one of her mother’s staunchest supporters. It was because of her connection with him that the other members of the Asta Family didn't dare to directly bully Nicole and her mother.

The Mayor of a Dungeon City held considerable influence among other Nobles. It was a terrible idea to make an enemy of him because he reported directly to the King.
