The next day, the king and the minister of finance were having a conversation inside the king's office.

"I heard you had a talk with Duke Eberbach yesterday your majesty."

"Hmph! We did." The king snorted. "For a person who was against summoning the hero, he sure did change his colors quickly."

"Did the duke agree to making good use of him?" the minister questioned.

"No. It was several warnings about agitating the hero. While he claimed to have done his job on giving the hero an introduction on our kingdom's situation, he says that we need to be more careful in not making the hero turn against the kingdom."

"Is he making a threat your highness?" the minister's eyebrows twitched. He wasn't one of the people that liked Elrich because of his overbearing nature.
