Chapter 453: Victory Celebration

As the crowd's cheers swell around them, an emissary from the royal palace approaches with a hurried, respectful bow. "Sir Argon," he begins, "His Majesty, King Regulus, requests an audience with you immediately. He wishes to personally express his gratitude."

Argon nods slightly, indicating his acceptance. The emissary leads Argon and General Grim through the celebratory throng towards the palace. Harland and Lorn follow closely, still reeling from the recent battle and the revelation of Argon's true power.

Upon entering the grand throne room, King Regulus rises from his throne, his expression a mix of awe and reverence. "Sir Argon," he greets, bowing deeply. "It is an honor to meet you. General Grim has informed me of your extraordinary deeds. On behalf of the Emberfall Kingdom, I offer you my deepest gratitude."

Argon inclines his head in acknowledgment. "Your Majesty," he says, his tone respectful but measured.
