Chapter 28
Chapter 28: Silver orb
Nira did not know what to do. She became an absolute pariah in a second, and no one bothered to hide their scornful looks.
“Lord Zamir.” Nira attempted to get closer to Zamir, but this one gave him one final look full of disdain and walked away.
The woman crumpled to the ground as despair filled her eyes. She was alone, and her life in the military was over before it even started. However, no one cared about her. Those despicable actions and mentality had already pushed both commoners and nobles away.
Zamir walked toward Cain with a smile on his face. There was nothing of the scorn he had shown before. He even gave Levi a polite salute when he got near the duo.
“I had been deceived. I hope you can forgive my small mistake, but I could not simply ignore the words of a fellow cadet in her times of need. Anyway, you are a proud warrior, so what do you say if you let go of Victor and we get a fresh start? I am sure that a County’s assistance will greatly help someone like you.”
When the other cadets, soldiers, and even Vice-Captain Josef heard that, they all gave one meaningful look at the duo.
Zamir was smart enough to adapt to the circumstances. He apologized while wisely putting all the blame on Nira and even mentioned his County’s assistance, hinting that he could mobilize some of that wealth to help Cain if this one was smart enough.
.....
Cain saw Zamir extend his hand, and he knew that if he were to shake it, he would get access to great opportunities. Of course, that would also mean putting himself beneath the scion.
