Chapter 1066 A Royal Pain

Marcus inaudibly clicked his tongue when Novak told him that Houten's top general was not present, nor had she made any public appearances in Armadura.

From the snooping around that Alaric had done, it was clear that she was up to something. All the suddenly added personnel and moving officers around was suspect. Marcus was almost certain that she must be up to something.

'I want to see if I could figure anything out by meeting her, but I guess that is not likely to happen. Maybe some ghostly investigating will be in order.' Marcus thought, a nagging feeling in the back of his mind.

Nevertheless, he had other things to focus on for now. This banquet was just as much a means of building morale as it was a chance to make connections with the top adventurers and officers of Houten's army. It would not be long before they were all fighting together and even just a passing familiarity with everyone would be important.
