"The Duke left for a few minutes before coming back as if nothing happened," Jean Hydran said. "It must have had something to do with that suffocating energy that we felt earlier. It has to be."
"Yet, we still could not figure out what happened or where he went. I already sent my people and they came up with nothing. All they saw was a large clearing and trees that had been damaged as if someone used something explosive to destroy the place," Brinley sighed.
"Your Blessedness Martin, what can you say about the matter? You have been quiet since the tide ended," Jean Hydran spoke.
"Is there any point in concerning ourselves about this matter? The Duke has ended the tide." Martin was more concerned about the fact that everyone in the streets now spoke highly of the Duke. He was the hero. The one who ended the tide.
Naturally, this did not sit well with Martin.
How could he allow the Duke to become the Hero of the Empire?
