Chapter 324: Leaving the Capital
Chapter 324: Leaving the Capital
The emperor had twenty dragon guards under his command, and each of them was a Transcendent Knight! Of these twenty powerful warriors, only three were recorded in the Astanian Dragon Leaderboard. The rest were hidden from the public, and only a handful of people knew they existed.
“Which of them should I send to Lord Alaric?” Dominic hesitantly asked.
The dragon guards were Transcendents, but they weren’t of equal strength. He wanted to know which dragon guard the emperor would choose for Alaric.
The emperor took a few seconds to pause before he responded. “Send Redden to his side. That guy has been complaining a lot lately. Might as well send him to the North so the palace can finally be quiet.”
Hearing this, Dominic was stunned. Redden was the Deputy Commander of the Dragon Guards and his strength was only slightly beneath that of their commander! Sending him to Alaric meant that the emperor held his nephew in high regard. As for the emperor’s random excuse, he didn’t treat it seriously.
Seeing that he was silent, the emperor stared at him with a reprimanding look and said. “What are you waiting for? Go and send that loudmouth out of my palace!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Dominic no longer dallied. He bowed to the emperor and left with haste.
The emperor watched him leave with a thoughtful look before he returned to his throne.

A day later, a large group gathered at the main gate of the capital to send off Lucas’ family. The arrogant nobles who hadn’t shown themselves when they arrived were now wearing flattering smiles as they bid them farewell.
