Chapter 10 - 05: The Knight’s Path (2)_2
The door that had been left open was closed by Huoersi.
In the room, only Yilin, Huoersi, Abi Robbs, and four other knights under Yilin's command remained.
Abi Robbs said softly, "It seems Count Caspar's urgency to see us isn't as pressing as he claimed in his letter."
"Could it be a trap?" Huoersi asked.
"It's possible," Abi Robbs replied offhandedly.
After a brief silence, Yilin pursed her lips and said, "If he's not on our side, it'll be very disadvantageous to us. Regardless, we should make every effort. The key is that we don't have much time; once the celebration ends, the King will act."
"Then if he doesn't summon us tomorrow, should we take action?"
"No, we take action tonight."
"Yes!" With a clang, all five knights present, including Huoersi, struck their breastplates heavily.
