"Yes, my lord. I know that bastard," the old Wandering Knight, Buerwell, said with a nod.
The sharp glint in his eyes gradually faded.
Baron Jin Fu, Adari, was one of Princess Sophia's former subordinates, just like Buerwell and the others.
The only difference was that he had betrayed her at a critical moment, allowing the Water Buffalo Count to successfully capture Leon City. As a reward, Adari shed his status as a Knight and became Baron Jin Fu, lord over two villages.
They were once comrades under the same banner, yet their fates couldn't be more different.
Perhaps Buerwell and the others regretted not abandoning her in time as Baron Jin Fu had. But once they were branded as Princess Sophia's old guard, they lost any chance of a comeback. All that was left was to remain loyal to her—loyal until death.
