Chapter 1162
Right after Siegfried tidied his uniform, the de facto leader of the Corals, Chancellor Maximus, walked into the cramped office.
‘What the hell? Why are you here?’ Siegfried froze.
He had been racking his brain to get close to Maximus, but the latter himself had walked straight to him with his own two feet.
No matter how he looked at it, there was no reason for the chancellor to personally pay a visit to some random newbie imperial guard.
“So, you’re Mindrius, yes?” Maximus asked, glancing at Siegfried.
“Yes, my lord! I am Mindrius!” Siegfried replied, straightening up before bowing in proper Coral fashion.
“So the rumors were true...”
“Pardon me, my lord?”
“They said one of the new imperial guards had the Cradle of Sun. So it was you.”
By Cradle of Sun, Maximus was talking about none other than Siegfried’s smooth, polished, bald head that reflected light off of it. Among the Corals, a gleaming head reflecting sunlight was poetically described as the resting place of the sun.
“Ah, yes... That would be me, my lord.”
“A young man like you has already climbed so high in rankings. Not only are you handsome, but you have also received His Imperial Majesty’s blessing.”
