Chương 248: Chapter248-The King's Stratagem

Listening to the king's tone, Armando sensed that disturbing His Majesty so early might have soured his mood.

Little did Armando know that the king had not slept all night; of course, he would be irritable!

Armando recounted everything that had happened with Marwan and their visit to the National Preceptor's residence in detail.

However, to his surprise, his father showed no interest at all.

How could that be? 

Armando couldn't help but question himself internally.

It seems the king remained unflappable even in the face of unsettling news.

"Hmm, I see. If there's nothing else, you may leave," the king dismissed.

"Yes, Father, I apologize for the disturbance," Armando said, understanding his cue to exit the study room.

"Your Majesty, I will arrange for someone to prepare a resting place for you immediately."

"No need, servant. Look, dawn is almost upon us, and I have much to attend to shortly; it's not worth the bother."
