Richest Mogul

Chapter 1976

In the courtyard, Vivian and Manfred walked side by side.

The silk shop had been cleared out moments before, and nearly all the workers had been sent on leave. Now, the entire courtyard was quiet.

They found a pavilion where they could sit and rest.

Once seated, Vivian turned to Manfred, tears shimmering in her eyes, and smiled. "Manfred, I hope that you'll be happy every day from now on."

Manfred's dark eyes were filled with warmth. "I hope that every day after you return, you'll be safe and at peace. Don't worry about me. I'm not the same person I was back then. No one can humiliate me like before. I will leave my mark on this world."

"I overheard you speaking with Kemp on the way here. After you return to Vlario, you'll be leading the Holland troop into battle."

Vivian knew this had always been Manfred's dream.

Every man with courage and honor longed to defend his homeland.

Most people only knew of Manfred's medical skills, but few knew he had been secretly training in combat for years. Glen had personally taught him everything he knew.

Manfred didn't hide anything from Vivian. "The border is constantly under attack by raiders. My grandfather is old, and most of my uncles died on the battlefield. There's almost no one left in the family to lead.

"If the Holland troop falls into the wrong hands, it will only be a matter of time before those raiders break through to Vlario. I have to take command and lead them to the frontlines."

He didn't know what fate awaited him at the border.
