บท 414: Bruised Ego

Eduoard already knew that he was about to face a situation with the king but that was the least of his problems. His heart slammed against his chest and shame washed over him. Eduoard was concerned for he had disappointed the king and even himself -- but truthfully, he was more worried about himself than he was about the king. Eduoard felt less than the scum of the earth and it was an unusual feeling to him. What he felt within him was alien and Eduoard didn't know how to deal with the feeling or how to get rid of it. Eduoard Saidou was one who prided himself on what he achieved with his powers -- which he felt was supreme to every other wizard out there. 

The dark-skinned wizard was deep in thought, not caring about how slowly his horse walked and oblivious to the battle horn the Taterra Army had just blown. He was in a world of his own -- a world of despair, gloom, and ignominy.
