Chapter 605
Heron intended to shatter that confidence and make him regret it.
“Huff.”
Heron, who had been running like a madman, soon reached his destination and stopped. Staring at the door ahead, he began to catch his ragged breath.
Thud, thud
After catching his breath, Heron approached the door.
Knock knock
“Lord Beal, it is Heron.”
He called out to Beal, the guardian of the Kingdom of Garin, who was inside the room, along with the knock.

No words came from inside. Instead, Beal, the guardian of the Garin Kingdom who was in the room, opened the door himself.
Beal had truly pale skin. So pale that anyone seeing him for the first time would surely think he was ill somewhere.
However, the look in Beal’s eyes was not that of a sick person at all. It was fierce, no, fierce doesn’t even begin to cover it—it was savage and intense.
“What is it?”
“Well…”
Heron trailed off at Beal’s question, glancing nervously behind him. Seeing Heron’s reaction, Beal said.
“Come inside first.”
He stepped aside.
“T-thank you!”
As Beal stepped aside, Heron quickly entered the room with a word of thanks. Even after Heron entered, Beal didn’t close the door. Nor was he looking at Heron. Beal was staring intently at the passageway Heron had just come through.
“Is someone chasing you?”
Beal, who had been staring at the passageway, closed the door and asked Heron.
“…Yes.”
Heron nodded in response to Beal’s question and began to answer.
