King Ares was busy, as a Dragon Knight, after the Torrential Flood Dragon had been ambushed by Frost Giants and Snow Giants.
He had gained another job.
That was to escort the Torrential Flood Dragon and the Shadowflame Dragon between the two countries, riding his Fiery Dragon. He needed to prevent the dragons from being isolated and ambushed again by Frost Giants and Snow Giants, which could result in a situation like that of Quentin III Shadowflame.
The dignified Dragon Knight had actually fallen because he was not riding his dragon; instead, he personally visited the Knight Regiment to offer comfort and then was ambushed by Snow Giant Da.
He died in vexation.
Indeed, it became a huge joke. Of course, for the nobles of the Scorching Torrent Kingdom, it was a big joke, but for the nobles of the Shadowflame Duchy, it was definitely a huge disaster.
Speaking of which.
