From his way of speaking, he used to order others. And that meant he was someone with real power and authority here. That didn't make any sense to William, as he didn't see anything remarkable about his guild and achievements.
He did indeed do something big, but it was a long time ago. If the kingdom wanted to reward him or something, they should have moved much earlier than today.
"May I ask for the reason?"
"Perhaps when you meet our excellency, you'll understand," these words were enough to change the calmness inside William's mind.
His thoughts drifted towards one man, the king of the entire kingdom. He was wrong, slightly mistaking the person who he was going to meet.
"Lead the way then," William wanted to ask further questions, but he knew beforehand he wouldn't get any answer. And as he tried to speak with that master, he did indeed get nothing useful.
Unlike what he expected, the master and his grand number of a force led them not towards the capital, but away from it.
