Chapter 38: Planning Ahead

The outcome of the battle between King Crow and the {Hunter of Hunters} has been kept a secret to stabilize the morale in Telmaris. After all, not just any hunter was defeated, but it was a Guild Leader and more importantly, a Blood ranked one at that. Once the people of Telmaris learn that there's a rogue hunter roaming around Fritz Forest that could take down a hunter like King Crow, it could cause an uproar.

As King Crow's eyes slowly open up, what he sees is the wooden ceiling of his bedroom.

"....."

"My liege, how are your wounds?"

Darius, King Crow's trusted right hand man, is currently seated beside his Guild Master.

"Darius huh. Keh, I feel like shit. Not physically though."

He forcibly raises his big body and tries to get out of the bed but Darius stops him.

"My liege, you still need some rest. You've lost way too much blood that a normal human could have died from it."
