958 Sweet Wind

Behind Kieran was a figure approaching without any movement in the wind; the dagger in the figure's hand was driving towards Kieran's back.

However, the figure purposely avoided Kieran's weak spot, instead, the dagger was aimed at Kieran's shoulder.

Riley didn't want to kill Kieran. The attack wasn't personal.

From a certain aspect, Riley admired the peasant elder son of the Burning Family quite a bit, how he ditched his own name and honor and come to a small town near Supreme Road to be its sheriff.

It would seem illogical in many people's perspective.

One needed to know, despite the peasant elder son of the Burning Family not being able to inherit the Burning Marquis' position, it was still possible for him to acquire lordship or dukeship.

Even though it wasn't hereditary, a lot of people would kill for those titles.

So, Riley chose to strike in a considerable way but at the next moment, he was glad he made that choice.

Ssss!
