Chapter 546 - 13.44
"I will spare you because Little Jean said so. Whatever happens to you, that will be Jean’s right to decide," Maximillien said to Wolf.
"Yes..." Wolf nodded obediently. Wolf already decided to follow Young Master Jean if he allowed Wolf to be his knight. Even if his big brother Prince Alric were against it, nothing would come between Wolf and his determination.
"Are you part of that bandit group?" Maximillien asked.
"Yes... Wolf’s brother... leader...." Wolf replied truthfully. He wanted to gain the trust of Young Master Jean’s big brother, so he would let Wolf be Young Master Jean’s knight.
...
Maximillien already knew that this kid was related to that bandit leader he captured just now. Before he reached Little Jean, he already swept everyone inside that camp with his water magic, including the crimson-haired bandit leader.
"Follow me," Maximillien said.
They returned to the bandit camp where everyone had been captured by the guards, thanks to Archduke Maximillien’s amazing magic power. There were few casualties, but most of them were the ones who tried to fight or were just too ruthless.
The crimson-haired leader, Prince Alric, was bound by Archduke Maximillien himself. Since Alric had fire magic, he could melt rope and steel. Maximillien put his body in a water bubble, with his head stuck out, so he could breathe.
Prince Alric looked at Archduke Maximillien, who was carrying the unconscious Young Master Jean. His skin had turned ashen, and he looked so fragile. It was a pitiful look compared to the lively boy who would stare at people with his doe eyes.
But Alric was nonchalant at anything right now. He didn’t expect Archduke Maximillien to discover his hiding and swept everything with his supreme water magic.
