The Duke sat there stunned while Ning sent the old man back and returned.
It wasn't just the duke, but rather everyone that was stunned, including Trevain himself.
This man had gone around so quickly and brought back so many powerful figures in the blink of an eye that if he were to ever want to assassinate them, there would be no way for them to save themselves.
Ning was now freely eating all the food that was in front of him, that had fortunately not gone very cold.
Saphandra didn't give much thought to the people around her as well and continued eating on her own.
Trevain finally started to realize that he was free. He was no longer bound by the marriage pact. Just as a smile broke out on his face, he heard the table get slammed and the duke stood up angrily.
