Chapter 288 - Cragstorm Sword

Broken entered the spacious sitting room, where a Knight Lionell sat comfortably on a plush sofa, waiting patiently. As soon as Lionell noticed Broken's arrival, he stood up and saluted him warmly.

"Please, Sir Lionell, I am deeply honored by your visit," he said with a genuine smile.

Both men then took their seats again. In the same room stood a couple of other knights, their postures attentive and respectful.

"I've noticed some very positive developments in this town," Lionell remarked.

"That's my commitment as the Baron, Sir Lionell," Broken responded humbly. "I'm merely doing my duty."

With an expression that remained composed and steady, Lionell retrieved a wooden chest brought by one of the accompanying knights and placed it carefully on the table between them.
