Chapter 567: Closed (1)
“Hey, Baron Yandel...?”
As soon as I came ashore, I saw the knights stiffen upon spotting me.
Well, from their perspective, it must seem like a ghost had returned.
After all, Jerome had forcibly thrown my unconscious body into the jaws of death.
“Um... are you all right...?”
One knight, sensing something strange, spoke from a distance without coming closer. For some reason, he didn’t even meet my eyes properly.
Maybe he feels some guilt?
“Summon Count Saintred. I have something to tell him.”
“Yes? Ah... yes! I’ll hurry to deliver the news!”
One of the knights standing guard by the tree dashed off somewhere, and soon Jerome Saintred appeared, accompanied by many knights.
He stared silently for a long time as if assessing my essence before speaking.
“I’ll take charge here. Everyone else, rest for a while.”
