A Promise

When King Alonso glanced at Nicklaus Elan who simply stood still on King Edric's right, he clenched his fists and his face darkened. However, he turned back to the young King.

"Do you know what you're doing, Edric Maselli?" he asked with disdain. "If you touch me, your Welahan will be doomed."

"You try to attack us anyway," Edric Maselli shrugged. "So, won't it be better to kill you?"

"Even if I die, my Commanders and Generals will come for you," Alonso Maccus stated. "It will lead to a never-ending war!"

King Edric remained quiet for a while as if he was having a second thought. "I'm not that eager to fight against the soldiers who are motivated to avenge their King. However, letting you go will be the same as brewing trouble for us. It's obvious that you will instantly come for Welahan once you return.
