425: Show us the way

"Tsk! There is so much to do, but Yunjin decided to disappear at a time like this. What the hell am I going to do with that girl? Who dare she leave all this on me to finish?"

Duke Victor looked at the mountain of work he had to do with disdain. He had managed to do about half of his work, but it did not seem to be lessening, no matter what he did.

Worse, Yunjin had disappeared when he told her what had happened. He had no idea what she would do now that her 'Sui,' a powerful artefact that could turn the tide in their battle against the demons, was in danger.

"No one understands what they should do? The times are dire. At such a time, people should focus not on themselves but on the bigger picture. We cannot let the demons win."

Duke Victor spoke to himself in that empty room. He was trying to prepare himself and convince himself that he had done the right thing.

But someone trashed his door open when he was about to return to work.
