1208 Let Me Tell You A Secret As Well

Just like before, Kieran and Duke Eldar sat opposite of each other.

As for the atmosphere?

It was dead silent just like it was before.

Kieran sat there, waiting for the Duke Eldar to speak about the Viper Sect secret. 

He didn't have the slightest intention to rush the elderly duke.

Half a minute later, the elderly duke looked up at Kieran.

"Before I tell you the secret of the Viper Sect, can you tell me honestly, did you ever look down on James?" 

Kieran frowned at the elderly duke's strange question.

It wasn't that the duke spoke Kieran's mind, but that Kieran wasn't used to such an equivocate way of conversing.

Kieran's habit made him habitually vigilant; he wouldn't look down on anyone, not even commoners, let alone a king.

Despite King James VIII's performance over the years being nothing but weak, Kieran believed that any man who could become a king was not a simple man.
