Chapter 904
Duke Sharen closed his eyes in deep thought.
The assassins he sent to eliminate Tadia hadn’t reported back. This could only mean one thing—failure. Despite their reputation of being the best of the best, they weren’t able to overcome the Saint of the Continent, Davey, who was currently at Heins Academy.
“If killing her isn’t possible… then the only choice is to ruin him socially.”
Davey’s strength was nothing short of astonishing, a level almost beyond comprehension.
“What a shame… If only we could bring him over to our side…”
Unfortunately, Davey was not like most humans—despite his strength, he was extremely stubborn and even went out of his way to treat commoners fairly. In other words, he valued capability over status.
While this appeared admirable at first glance, for the nobles it was a direct challenge to the hierarchical system that ruled the world. From a certain perspective, his actions could even be seen as rebellion.
The Rowane Kingdom understood this, yet they couldn’t rein him in. The reason was simple: His influence had grown far beyond even that of the King of Rowane.
Despite this disparity, neither King Krianes nor Crown Prince Baris O'Rowane had any intention of restraining him. Even most of the nobility were similar to him in their views. The Duke actually wondered what they’d done or gone through to become the way they were.
