"Yet, we still could not figure out what happened or where he went. I already sent my people and they came up with nothing. All they saw was a large clearing and trees that had been damaged as if someone used something explosive to destroy the place," Brinley sighed.
"Your Blessedness Martin, what can you say about the matter? You have been quiet since the tide ended," Jean Hydran spoke.

Naturally, this did not sit well with Martin.
How could he allow the Duke to become the Hero of the Empire?
