The Duke (2)

"I didn't know until it happened but even if I did, There's no way I could've stopped them."

The Duke was flabbergasted at Ren's words. "Why? Why would they do this? You know that I can't let them go especially knowing they are coming for the King!"

Contemplating whether to tell the whole truth or not.

"Father, if we involve ourselves it will be full out war. Though the Alexanders have a lesser number of knights compared to the Kingdom and our's combined, they will win the war. . ."

"Is this also one of the things you see in the future? " The duke sighs and pushes his back tiredly and glances at the carriage window. The street is bustling with people, aristocrats and nobles are happily walking the main street and chuckling.

The silence is enough for confirmation.
