Chapter 218: The Will Of Men

Galahad and his knights stopped in front of Damon.

The knight narrowed his eyes at him, clear traces of disdain evident in his gaze. This was the no-good wretch who was wooing their lady—a woman old enough to be his mother. Did this young man have no shame?

Galahad had heard the whispers about Damon's reputation at the academy. A troublemaker, a scoundrel, a nuisance. And yet, for whatever reason, their lady had suddenly found herself infatuated with him.

It made no sense.

And now, in the middle of a crisis, she had ordered them to leave her side—just because of one call from a boy the age of her son. How could Galahad not feel irked?

Still, he was a knight of the Deep. He had to obey.

"I have come to aid you, as per my lady's will."

Damon smirked, noting Galahad's expression.

"Thanks for coming, Sir Galahad. It is an honor to have you by my side."
