Chapter 170: Regret (2)
Gabriel hated that the king no longer accepted his request for a private talk. Even when he managed to get a glimpse of the king in the palace, the servants around the king claimed Darius was too busy even though Gabriel knew he wasn’t.
What happened to the king helping him to rise above Xavier?

Gabriel hated to think that he would soon be forgotten with the king not acknowledging him. All the celebrations for the war were dying down so if Gabriel didn’t do something grand soon, he feared he would be a forgotten hero.
Gabriel failed to make connections in the palace since he didn’t appear to be a man useful to others. Had Darius given him a bit of attention then the other men in the palace might think it was worth getting close to Gabriel.
Gabriel struck the target again, this time shattering it. "I’m still stuck," he grumbled.
The king gave him money which helped to afford this new status Gabriel thought he had and the job in the court paid a decent amount but Gabriel wanted to be well recognised in the palace.
