Chapter 137: I’ll Go With You
Everyone celebrated the defeat of the monsters since none had reappeared after Ferdinand eliminated the largest with just one blow. For the Safirans, it was their first time witnessing such a feat.
Arabella wanted to scold her husband a bit though while everyone’s attention was elsewhere. She had a lot to say about him playing around during such a dangerous situation.
But before she and Ferdinand could speak with each other, Alwin returned. Thus, they had to listen to his report instead. They had to save their conversation for later.
Riley vanished since he traded places with Alwin to ensure the mines were still guarded.
"Your Majesty, I have recaptured and imprisoned the magician," Alwin reported.
[Why did he have to return right now when I was supposed to speak with my wife?!]
Ferdinand glared at Alwin since he wanted to know soonest why Arabella seemed angry at him.
Alwin thought he must have done something wrong but didn’t know what it was. He thought he must have taken too long to return so Ferdinand was irritated and thus apologized for it.
It wasn’t the problem though.
"Did you find what he was after?" Ferdinand finally asked after glaring at Alwin for a few seconds.
"Yes, Your Majesty. It was indeed what was deep in the mountain. The dryad was protecting it but he tried to force his way in. I stopped him before he kills the dryad by making her exhaust her remaining life force."
