Chapter 321

The King of Northguard had already taken note of someone who had been standing outside for some time.

The individual who had arrived was one of his subordinates.

In that instant, he recalled how he had bowed before Gavin, his humiliation weighing heavily on his mind.

‘If my subordinates had witnessed the recent events, wouldn’t my reputation be irreparably tarnished? The proud King of Northguard had, in fact, played the role of a servant in Gavin’s presence. What would my subordinates make of this?’

The mood of the King of Northguard darkened further. The more he dwelled on the situation, the less he could bear to accept it passively.

Yet, even when he saw Gavin standing nearby, he still didn’t dare to display insolence in his presence.

This was primarily due to his awareness of the vast difference in power between himself and Gavin. If he were to raise his voice before Gavin at this very moment, he understood that his fate would be sealed without question.

He couldn’t possibly engage in a life-and-death struggle with Gavin at this moment and allow his subordinates to witness Gavin overpowering and beating him, could he?

‘Wouldn’t that situation be even more humiliating than the current one?’

The King of Northguard contemplated the situation carefully and, at this moment, had no choice but to concede.

However, he couldn’t help but wonder why his subordinates had chosen this particular moment to appear. ‘Did they have something urgent to report? In any case, it was clear that this was not an opportune time for such interruptions. The King of Northguard set down his coffee cup and turned his gaze towards Gavin. With a somewhat awkward smile, he timidly began, “Um… I have some matters to attend to. I’ll return shortly!

“You can give instructions to my attendants if needed. I’ve made that clear, then.” Gavin’s eyes remained closed, and he paid no heed to the King of Northguard. Nevertheless, he had heard all he needed to hear.

The King of Northguard observed Gavin before him, choosing not to respond or intervene. He offered a smile and said, “Very well, I’ll take my leave for now. I’ll return shortly.”

Then, he swiftly departed, seizing his subordinate by the collar as they both disappeared in a hurry in a certain direction.

As the King of Northguard exited the room, Gavin cast a sidelong glance at the
