Chapter 305
“Article…!
The voice was the driver.
Jumbled
A knight was approaching Ming Hu and Jie Jie. It wasn’t just one. The knight who had spoken was followed by two more knights. Ming Hu looked at the knights coming toward him and thought.
“Why are the articles here…
Something was wrong. Ming Hu and Jie Jin were walking down the street, the same street they usually took to get to the party.
When I traveled this route a few days ago, I didn’t see any articles. Even later in the day, the driver was nowhere to be seen, so why now?
That wasn’t the only problem: where I was standing was too close to the hostel. It was almost a walk.
“I’m Raifen, Captain of the 3rd Knights of the 2nd Imperial Guard.”
Soon, the knight Lifen stopped in front of Ming Hu and introduced himself.
“Can you tell me who you are?”
At Lifen’s question, Ming Hu paused for a moment before opening his mouth to answer.
“The late Earl of the Helioca Empire.”
“…!”
“…!”
“…!”
The moment Ming Hu answered, the knights’ reactions changed The two knights following Lifen looked at each other in surprise and exchanged glances, while Lifen looked at Ming Hu with a slightly surprised expression.
“…?”
Ming Hu was puzzled by the knights’ reactions; he didn’t understand why they were suddenly reacting the way they were.
“Oh, it’s an honor to meet you, and congratulations on making it to the quarterfinals of the dueling competition.”
