Silver Condor thought for a long time but still couldn't find the right words to describe the young Dragon King. The Khan wasn't in a hurry, but he himself felt he was guilty of dereliction of duty, for which he secretly blamed himself.
He revered the old man in front of him, not as a god or the Khan, but more as a father or elder brother. The two were separated by a great difference in age and status but that didn't affect the trust and tacit understanding between the two.
This wasn't a friendship between an old King and a young guard because Silver Condor would never forget his identity and the old Khan would also never treat him as someone of equal status, even in private.
Many years ago, Silver Condor had thoroughly reflected on this and finally drawn a conclusion that he had been tamed.
He had transformed from a vicious wolf and a soaring bird, into a watchdog and falcon attached to his master.
