Chapter 181: (Self Edited) Galla Godwin*
Galla Godwin returned to his office in the fortress in the castle island that day, wearing an exhausted expression. Since the incident five days ago, the royal capital had been thrown into extreme chaos. Galla Godwin, caught in the middle, experienced the pain of a mid-level management to the fullest. Superiors who seemed bought off, juniors venting their dissatisfaction, subordinates proposing outrageous ideas. Galla’s role was to be squeezed in between them and get all tangled up.
As a result, the sky was now completely dark. Galla hooked the handle of a lamp onto a hook hanging from the dark ceiling of the room. Despite being utterly exhausted, he couldn’t return to his home in the northern district of the capital, because the city was in a state of war. Also, there was no sleeping quarters for Galla in the barracks. It was because he had a home. So, Galla had no choice but to sleep in the office. It was a curse that there was an arm rest in the middle of the long sofa in the reception area. If it weren’t for those, Galla could have slept on the sofa, but instead, he had to lay a sleeping bag on the hard floor.
As he removed his military jacket and hung it over the sofa folded in half. As he prepared to undo his belt and work on his trousers, to put on his military hakama he heard a voice.
“Hey.” (??)
“Whoa!” (Galla)
There was someone in the room. Galla quickly tensed up.
“Wait, it’s the Queen’s Sword. I’ve come to talk.” (??)
The Queen’s Sword. Even so, he didn’t realize that there was someone there when he tried to pull down his pants. Galla thought to himself, he must be truly exhausted. Feeling a bit awkward, he re-fastened the belt he had started to loosen.
“The Queen’s sword, huh? Where is your loyalty toward, now?” (Galla)
