Chapter 69: Second Tier 5 Subordinate

His eyes shine with something close to reverence, almost fanatical.

Alix sighs internally. 'All my subordinates are just too extreme in revering me.'

Shaking his head, he raises a hand. A pouch appears in his palm, brimming with wealth. With a flick of his wrist, it lands in Calak's grasp.

"Here's two hundred thousand gold coins," Alix says. "Use it to stabilize the city."

Calak clutches the pouch like it's the most precious thing in the world. His voice trembles slightly. "I will not disappoint you, Your Majesty!"

Before leaving, Alix glances at Sorin.

"Since I promised them that they could visit me, lead them tomorrow," he says. "The four know where Noctaris City is."

Sorin places a fist over her heart and bows slightly. "As you wish, Your Majesty."

Alix nods in approval before adding, "Also, there's a lot of weapons and armor in the treasury. Use them to reward the soldiers."
