Chapter 988
“L-Lord Hyungseokius? Why, all of a sudden?”
The adjutant asked, looking puzzled at the sudden command.
“I have a feeling that... the old geezer is harboring those traitors,” Chae Hyung-Seok replied.
“What?! L-Lord Hyungseokius? I do not think that is possible. Lord Balag is the most respected elder in our domain, so there is no way that he would harbor those–”
“I find it strange. Why would someone like him, who retired a long time ago, suddenly reappear?”
“That is...”
“And the estate seemed abandoned. It doesn’t look like a place someone lived in.”
“Oh!”
“And... If he is truly the respected elder you say he is, then I’m pretty sure he won’t be happy with how His Majesty has ascended the throne.”
“To be honest... I think that makes sense. His Majesty wasn't recognized before he ascended the throne as the rightful demon lord, so the elders were not very happy with what happened.”
“That’s exactly it.”
“I believe they are just observing the situation, as there are no clear alternatives. But the elders who once served under Lord Vernas remain completely uncooperative. They are not causing trouble, but they are not helping either.”
