When his right-hand man only lowered his head without uttering any word, Hamon Caderin slowly walked towards him. In no time, he was standing right before Captain Ricard.
The King narrowed his eyes and unsheathed the dagger that was hung on the Captain's waist near the sword. He briefly observed the dagger before he put the sharp edge below the Captain's chin and used it to lift his head just so that he could look at his eyes!
The sharp dagger slightly cut Captain Ricard's flesh but he didn't dare to move away. Instead, he stood there with his gaze meeting the King's observing gaze.
"Do you not know anything about it, Ricard?" Hamon Caderin inquired.
"No, Your Majesty," the Captain promptly responded.
