Chapter 207 Holy Fire Project_2

After the memorial service was over, the King made a point of keeping him behind.

"Little Rod,"

he said with a smile.

"Congratulations on achieving Trolian's most significant feat in recent years at such a young age."

Thinking of his fellows Tomman and Demetri, Rod's mood dimmed slightly as he spoke softly, "It was the sacrifice of my companions that brought about this success."

The King's expression turned serious.

"They did not sacrifice themselves for you, but for everything they loved. Protecting all that will be the best way to honor them."

Rod's spirits lifted considerably, and he smiled, "Thank you."

The King returned the smile.

"Little Rod, you have a special aura about you, and conversing with you is very relaxing for me."

Rod joked, "You really noticed it, my latent potential as a king, befitting the incumbent King of Trolian."

The King laughed, "Without the Soul Trait of the Eternal Burning Fire, at best you could only be the King's man."
