Chapter 405: A Duel (1)

Alfred was about to speak when the doors of the great hall were yanked open violently and a man dressed in a knight's armor which was almost perfectly hidden with a red cloak walked in. He was over six feet tall and each and every one of his steps was heavy, making the hall tremble.

He had a thick beard just like Alfred but his black hair was slightly longer and it was tied back to form a ponytail. His gaze was fierce and terrifying and right across his left eye was a scare acquired through battle. Behind him was a slightly shorter man dressed in regular military attire, carrying a massive sheathed broadsword with great effort. 

"Chloe," Derik said with furrowed eyebrows. His memories of this man were a bit cloudy so he didn't know exactly what to expect until now!

"Chloe!" Father Khalid said with a twisted expression on his face. His eyes showed numerous emotions but fear was the most dominant one.
