Chapter 83 - Midnight in The Army Camp.

"So... Are you heading back after this or tomorrow? I would need to get everything arranged beforehand." Ben asked.

"Tomorrow. Right now, I am so tired that I can't even feel my left hand," said the King, in a joking tone, but he is indeed looking quite exhausted.

"Hmm... You better get an early rest then, it would most likely be another exhausting day tomorrow," said Ben.

"Mmm... You are right, I am heading to my own tent then, I believe you know where to find me if you need me," said the King.

"Yeah. See you tomorrow morning, I guess," said Ben.

And so, the King left the tent without even talking or making eye contact with Rei for the entire time...

After the King left, Rei looked at Ben with a troubled look.

"Hmm? Rei? What is it?" Ben asked as soon as he noticed that troubled look from Rei.

"Is His Majesty mad at me for causing so much trouble to everyone?" Rei asked, with a self-blaming look.
