“I simply went together with you as a result of I couldn’t be bothered. Do you suppose I’m on the identical degree as you?”

“What’s unsuitable with my degree?”

Crash!

“The place are you going?”

“To Normal Mayhard.”

“…To report this case?”

“What? No,” Dennan scoffed.

He had one thing else to report.

“Then what?”

Dennan left the barrack, not bothering to reply his comrade’s query. He thought to himself as he walked.

‘Normal Mayhard was performing a bit totally different from standard at present.’

The opposite troopers wouldn’t have observed that their superior was barely out of his aspect, however Dennan had a knack for observing folks.

‘He’s by no means been like this earlier than.’

Did one thing occur? Dennan was fearful, his intentions honest.

Not like his comrades whose attitudes modified as simply as flipping a swap, Dennan had at all times regarded Kaywhin positively. Ever since he had seen the latter on the send-off ceremony, he had needed to get nearer to him naturally, and he was wanting to observe him.

Dennan’s ft made their method to Kaywhin’s private barrack of their very own accord. When he arrived on the entrance, he debated briefly earlier than opening his mouth.

“Normal Mayhard, it’s me, Dennan.”

He may really feel that somebody was inside, however he acquired no response.

‘Underneath regular circumstances, he would have already sensed my presence earlier than I even introduced it and given me a solution.’

Like Dennan thought, one thing was happening.

“I’ll go inside.”

Dennan drew the barrack’s curtain. Then, he flinched and froze in place.

“…Normal Mayhard? The place are you going?”

Kaywhin stood in the course of the barrack, seeming like he was about to depart.

‘Am I mistaken?’

Then, Kaywhin opened his mouth.

“I’ve to go.”

Dennan wasn’t mistaken.

“The place are you going?”

“To my fief.”

“Pardon?”

For a second, Dennan forgot the place he was and raised his voice. He instantly calmed down and lowered his voice, however he couldn’t rein within the look on his face.

“What do you imply… Your fief, you say?”

After inspecting his personal apparel, Kaywhin spoke calmly.

“You’ll be capable to deal with the remainder of the struggle with out me, proper?”

Nicely, that really could be potential. They had been approaching the top of the struggle anyway.

However that wasn’t the issue…

‘Desertion? Is he going to abandon the military?’

So boldly, on high of that?

Dennan’s eyes shook. He simply barely managed to talk.

“I-I want to… no less than know why. Why on the planet do you could go to your fief now…”

“There’s one thing I have to verify.”

That’s all Kaywhin mentioned. He glanced on the bracelet on his wrist. His face immediately hardened.

‘The bracelet isn’t working.’

It had all occurred so instantly.

Up till simply this morning, he had contacted his spouse by the bracelet as standard. However simply earlier than, the mana gem instantly cracked with out warning. After which, the artifact fully misplaced its capability, prefer it was damaged.

Kaywhin clenched his jaw. He felt a chill on his neck.

He felt uneasy.

He may have merely chalked it up because the artifact being damaged, however surprisingly, he felt stressed. He felt an disagreeable premonition as his spouse’s face flitted earlier than his eyes.

Thus, Kaywhin determined that he must see for himself that his spouse was protected. His vacation spot was the duchy. He had heard that his spouse had gone to the capital, however he needed to spend just a few days on horseback anyway. His spouse could be again on the fief by then.

[Tsk, tsk. He’s crazy for his wife and not in his right mind.]

The Holy Sword, hanging from Kaywhin’s belt, criticized the latter sharply, although nobody may hear him, after all.

Dennan was tremendously flustered, however then he resigned and stepped again. He may inform that this wasn’t one thing he may cease from taking place.

“Understood. Then I’ll notify the supplementary troops…”

At that second, Dennan instantly went pale.

“…Hak!”

“Dennan?”

“Hak, hak!”

As a substitute of ending his sentence, Dennan lowered his head and gasped for air. Then, with a glance of astonishment, he raised his head.

“What on the planet…!”

Only some folks knew this, however Dennan may see into the close to future, as he did simply now.

He couldn’t imagine the long run he had simply seen.

“…Please go.”

Dennan’s lips trembled as he continued.

“Hurry, please! You must depart directly…”

At that second, a scream was heard from exterior the barrack.
