85 A CRUEL FAREWELL GIFT

[8 YEARS AGO]

WHEN NIKOLAI arrived at the rusty mansion of House Roseheart, the servants had already fled. The knights who went first to arrest Commander Gavin Quinzel and Mona Roseheart were already dead. Their bodies were lying around the estate.

Commander Quinzel definitely did this.

Rather, the commander was the only person in the empire who could survive getting hunted down by the most elite order of the empire– the White Lion Knights.

Nikolai turned to Glenn. His personal knight had his full armor on, except for the head gear. He was covered with blood because they were attacked by the people who supported Commander Quinzel in his "rebellion." "Commander Quinzel has reached the point of no return, Glenn," he told him coldly. "You are the vice-commander of the White Lion Knights. How does it feel to see the corpses of your fellow knights who were killed by your very own commander?"
