Ch. 66: Returning [1]

Fortunately, my head butler came and shifted our mood.

"Your Highness, it is time."

"I understand."

Suddenly, Fedel stepped aside and two men in their fifties came into view; walking toward us. One was Gideon and the other I assumed to be Sir Rudr. 

They bowed upon arrival and Alexander gladly answered.

"You may rise."

They straightened their backs and one of them took a step forward. He was a muscular man with shoulder-length brown hair in a ragged style and brown eyes.

"I greet the future Sun of the Empire. I'm sorry for the late introduction, my name is Rudr Caelum. I'm the 4th Marshal."

Alexander and I leaned our backs lightly in unison. As well as being a Marshal, he was also a Count from the Egon Region.

"Nice to meet you, Sir Rudr."
