The captain of the knights came forward, his eyes filled with happiness to see his king back, and the same was with other knights. Their young king was their pride, and there were countless tales about his actions both from before and after he was crowned that even to this day, the people of Megaris from all walks of life had admired him.
When the elite knights who joined the allied troop returned and boasted about their successful trip, the listeners were not surprised, knowing who their king was. The rescue of the Prince of Abetha was already a given for them. When they heard about how Drayce reacted after Slayer was hurt, the respect and pride for their king increased in their hearts.
"How are you, Your Majesty?" the captain asked.
"You should worry about those who had faced your king on the battlefield instead," Arlan replied before Drayce could say a word.
