Chapter 59
“Hold on. I promise you something interesting is going to happen.”
Raven spoke to Karuta in a low voice, then turned his head towards a member of the guards. Anxiety could be read on their faces; they were intimidated by Karuta’s appearance.
“This orc here is an ally of the Pendragon family and a personal friend of mine. He’s here with me as an attendant. Is there a problem?”
“N, no, there is no problem.”
It was as expected.
Leus was a place that was familiar with orcs, and Raven’s proclamation, which labeled Karuta as a friend of the Pendragon family, was more than enough to justify Karuta’s presence.
“Greetings, my prince, princess, and… your Grace Pendragon.”
Raven turned his head at a voice that called out his name in a calm voice. A knight with a red epaulet came down the stairs then bowed politely with one hand on his sword handle, as was the traditional greeting for knights.
