Chapter 3263 The Promise

Gadel's countenance shone with an exuberant smile as he approached the ministers, offering his assistance to lift them from the ground.

"You all are the stalwarts of Montiria," he said, his voice brimming with heartfelt concern as he gently patted their shoulders. "Please, rise. In the governance of our realm, we shall rely upon you the pillars of our nation-more than ever." "It is no trouble at all. Serving Your Majesty is our greatest honor," one minister responded hurriedly.

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty," another quickly added. "I must attend to some family matters, so I shall take my leave now."
