Chapter 1285

"I dare not speak further today, nor would I approach Prince Rafael. I fear His Majesty might misunderstand," Davis replied.

Jeremiah nodded gravely. "Yes, the Ministry of Defense should avoid any private dealings with the Hell Monarch. For now, it's best to keep your distance."

As for the rebels... they're not much of a threat for now. They're trapped in Valken and can't escape, and they have no intention of attacking. General Murray can handle them."
