Chapter 445 Arriving
Michael was initially taken aback by the sight—but after a moment’s thought, it no longer seemed so surprising.
Considering Duke Evermoon’s centuries of heritage and influence, it would have been stranger if he didn’t have grand things tucked away beyond a personal monster zoo.
In the end, Michael realized he didn’t really care—so long as he reached his destination.
What truly occupied his mind were more pressing matters: the kingdom’s shipment of materials already en route to a territory he hadn’t even stepped foot in, the daunting task of managing said territory despite never having run so much as a company before, and most urgently... his Advancement.
He had just two days left before his college entrance exams.
As the final crates were loaded aboard, Duke Evermoon turned to Michael, his hands still folded behind his back.
"This vessel will take you to Thornvale and return here immediately after," the Duke said.
"I wish you a great reign," the Duke added. "May your rule be long... and worth remembering."
Michael nodded. "Thank you."
The Duke gave a brief, thoughtful smile. With that, he stepped back as the crew lowered the boarding ramp.
Michael stepped forward first.
Wisdom shifted slightly on his shoulder, adjusting his wings but not flying off.
