Chapter 797: Section 537: Bright Mirror (Four) _2
This statement struck a chord with Thomas, indeed, even he understood how perilous the battle against the Black Orcs was, yet Malin led his troops as if they were merely on a picnic, crushing the Black Orcs effortlessly.
This stirred a bit of envy in Thomas—Just consider Hagelberry, how come he’s so lucky, that his granddaughter could be assigned to serve alongside Malin as a Night Watcher.
"I really do envy you, old Hagelberry." A new member joined the conversation, it was Duke Ansel Messiah, whose legion was the first to arrive from the entire Western Province, a Duke highly favored by His Majesty. His family was one of the sixteen great Noble families of the Northern Kingdom, a stature that even strained Thomas’ neck just by looking.
"Ah, it’s Ansel, what are you envious about, you don’t even have a daughter," retorted Hagelberry with a laugh.
"Yes, that’s why I can only feel envy. By the way, I’d like to invite His Grace Malin to a banquet I’m hosting, Lord Hagelberry, could you introduce me, perhaps?"
"No problem, Your Grace, I’ll be meeting my granddaughter in a bit, I’ll have her put in a word for you, much more effective than if I did it," said old Hagelberry with a chuckle.
"That’s wonderful, you see, I’m neither a Frost Giant hybrid nor do I have any relatives in the south, I have absolutely no connections with Malin, so I can only come to you with such a bold request," the Duke lamented, extending his hand to clasp that of Hagelberry’s tightly.
Wow, even the Messiah family is trying to curry favor with His Grace Malin?
This realization deepened Thomas’ frustration—Damned old Hagelberry, isn’t this just a way to indirectly show off how favored your granddaughter is by Malin?
Thinking of this, Thomas grew even more bitter—Imagine, me being a Half-human, what use is having a daughter?
Everyone knows His Grace Malin has numerous lovers, each with distinctive flavors, and amongst them...a Half-human stands no chance at all.
