Clark knew that the King had been in a bad mood lately, and he also knew the reason. It was because folde had led troops to war.

As Isolde’s older brother, he had been keeping a low profile these days, treading carefully.

In front of the King, he even adjusted his breathing and carefully considered his words before speaking Now that the King was urgently summoning him, he knew that something bad had happened.

Clark’s lips trembled. “Your Majesty… I believe that in certain situations, if we don’t use military force nation’s dignity cannot be maintained.”

“What do you mean by certain situations?” the King asked coldly.
