Jerry was stunned for a moment before he understood that Bulanda was not asking if he could run away.
He was actually asking if the Sky Dynasty had already considered him as a member.
After all, according to Jerry's previous statement, after they confiscated Bulanda's Empire Era fragments, Bulanda only existed as a vassal state of the Sky Dynasty.
Facing the other trial-takers that he had known from the Endless Tower, Jerry had never thought that he could become an ally with others from the very beginning.
Facing the loyalty that the others had sworn, Jerry had always kept an eye out.
After all, these people were not summoned from the Eternal Flower Register by himself. Loyalty could never be proven just through what was spoken..
Therefore, Jerry did not expect Bulanda's loyalty from the beginning. Instead, as a vassal country, he did not care about internal affairs and only gathered troops to fight together during wartime.
