TO SAY that Tilly was surprised when Kiho said that he was going to resign as a captain would be an understatement.
She was shocked!
"You worked hard to be a captain, Kiho," Tilly reminded him. Well, she wanted him to resign because she didn't want her husband to be close to the royal family any more than he already was. But still, she didn't want him to regret his decision later. That was why she was helping him decide if that was what he really wanted to do. "And you're not just any captain. You're one of the leaders of the Four Orders that represent the Four Ancient Beasts. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that you, Captain Denver, Captain Ainsworth, and Captain Sherwood are the new guardians of the Great Moonchester Empire."
It wasn't easy to reach that position, especially since Kiho was a commoner.
