Bidding the Gates Farewell

The queen raised her brow curiously.

She was surprised by Benjamin’s overly calm demeanor. She paused for a while before replying, "Please do not misunderstand. I am curious to learn more about the mages who took down the Crusader Gateway."

Here’s another person who spoke in circles.

Benjamin felt annoyed but did not show it. He nodded, "Your Majesty has seen them now. Could we pass through? It’s really getting late and we would like to head out without delay."

Frankly, Benjamin was getting nervous.

God knows how much longer the Bishop and Icor’s mages would be engaged at the gates. If the bishop managed to escape or if Icor’s mages returned, then they would be in hot water. There was no time to lose.

The queen let out a welcoming smile, "Well, it is getting late. Why don’t you stay in our camp for the night before making a move tomorrow? It is dangerous to travel at night after all."
