The Lady Nun Vows Revenge by Caroline Rowland

The Silent 558

558.Chapter 558

Just as the poisonous insects were about to enter Centrina City, the city gates were finally opened.

"Prince Regent."

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.

He coldly replied, "It seems I've caused you trouble, then. After the King received news of Woteria's disaster, he immediately began preparing the relief. 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.

"In a hurry? I still have questions," Nolan's voice was calm but firm.
