"But if his people lose, he must apologize to General Kuhar."
Kuhar let out a breath, looking deeply at the young man kneeling on one knee beneath the stairs.
Upon hearing this, Allegro Kent glanced indifferently at Thorne, "A man must honor his promise. Since you consented personally, there's really nothing more to say."
Thorne forcefully apologized to Kuhar, and Kuhar hurriedly stated that his subordinates were just playing around and it didn't count. He quickly made his exit.
Thorne was kneeling on the hard floor.
After a long silence, a cool male voice came from above: "Get up."
Only when he left the Divine Temple did Kuhar finally relax. The cold wind blew, chilling the spots on his back that were damp from cold sweat.
"It seems Allegro Kent does not trust you, he's merely using this opportunity to knock you down a peg."
Kuhar snorted coldly: "All thanks to you."
