82 The Tower of God (1)

"What I want is..."

The people surrounding Lars all waited with bated breaths, captivated by his booming rebuke and now dying to find out just what the middle-aged pseudo-Mythical mage would demand!

Especially as it might impact their livelihoods - or even their lives if he declared hostility with the palace!

So they dared not breath, waiting with rapt attention to find out what would happen next.

And Lars spoke his piece sharply.

"...For you to take care of these children, safe and unharmed, return them to their families, and guarantee the safety of not just them but their relatives as well!"

Duke Leanne and Gurdev were stunned and frowning in confusion, while the surrounding crowds stood there shocked with mouths hanging wide open.

Was that all???

So much drama just for such a simple demand??!

The people nearby could not understand the implications of his demands, but the ravishing woman and her administrator of the city did.
