Chapter 179: Archmage (1)
The white city of Chenarus.
I sat at a cafe terrace, drinking coffee and listening to the chatter of countless people.
“We need to catch and kill those wretched bastards quickly.”
“You’re absolutely right. Frankly, I don’t like it.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m talking about His Majesty the Emperor. This is the second time those scoundrels have targeted the Her Highness the Princess, right? But there’s been no resolution for a year now. By staying idle, aren’t we just letting them look down on us? I think this latest incident is because of that too.”
“Don’t worry, my friend. Don’t you trust His Majesty the Emperor? He’s the one who sent those western bastards to hell.”
Public opinion remained the same. Like bubbles slowly rising from the bottom before water boils, these opinions were the mainstream.
It seemed war would break out soon, just as I had predicted. At the earliest within 6 months, at the latest within a year and a half.
