Chương 741: Jasper's Chatter

Drayce had to spend yet another week at the Crystal Palace, as the entourage from Othinia to Megaris was delayed. However, the message of Drayce's impending arrival was sent to Jasper, the trusted servant and a friend of the King of Megaris, who wasted no time in making his way to the palace.

In his study at the Crystal Palace, Drayce awaited Jasper's arrival.

"Your Majesty, Lord Jasper—"

Slam!

Before Slayer could finish his introduction, a man burst into the study with a stormy expression. "Drayce Ivanov," he seethed, "How dare you…"

"Jasper Makedon," Drayce cut in, his voice icy, "spare me your theatrics."

"Theatrics?" Jasper's voice rose incredulously. "It would only be theatrics if I were shedding tears over the belief you were dead. How dare you keep me in the dark about your injury? Am I nothing more than a puppet to manage the kingdom's affairs while you vanish?"
