The Silent 558

A middle-aged man, dressed in official robes, hurriedly led a group of officials out from the gates.

Upon seeing Nolan, he immediately dropped to his knees, crying out, "Prince Regent, you've finally arrived! You can't imagine how long I, along with all the officials and citizens of Woteria, have been waiting for the court's aid. At last, we've been blessed with your arrival."

His words made it sound as if the court had been dragging its feet on the relief effort.

Nolan raised an eyebrow.

From his position on horseback, he looked down at the kneeling officials, scanning the crowd of eyes watching them from within Centrina City.

I've led the Black Flag Army with supplies, traveling day and night, only to keep you waiting." "Jefferson, you've truly worked hard," Nolan's words instantly made Jefferson's back break into a cold sweat. Jefferson quickly said, "No, no, Your Highness, it is you who have worked hard. Please, enter the city and rest."

As he tried to rise, a blade, still sheathed, was pressed against his shoulder.

Jefferson felt as if his
