Chapter 217: (Self Edited) Emergency Report
It was June 30th.
As I was going through paperwork in the office of the royal palace, a female secretary knocked on the door.
“Soim Hao-sama is here.” (??)
She said it.
At that moment, I had a bad feeling. Soim should have been far up north.
“Let him in.” (Yuri)
I said, setting down my pen. Soim, dressed in military attire, was ushered in by the secretary. He appeared to have come straight from the battlefield, covered in dust and grime.
“Milord, I have a report.” (Soim)
He said respectfully, standing at attention. This was how one behaved when strictly adhering to military protocol. It had been only 8 days since Soim had joined forces with the elite cavalry and departed. Normally, he should still be on the mission I had assigned him, so there was no reason for him to be here. His presence indicated that something unforeseen had occurred.
