Chapter 57
With my assurance that I will unite the Southern Palace, Namgung Han declared to the one hundred and fifty warriors of the Southern Palace, including Namgung Seok, Namgung Family Name, and Namgung Grand Name.
He would stand behind the Grand Duke of the Southern Palace.
Even as he spoke, Nangong Han wondered if he had spoken too hastily.
“What a ……. What the hell.”
“I just wanted to make a speech.”
“You just wanted to say that you’d finally come out in support of the Grand Duke?”
The reactions of the warriors of the Southern Palace were disconcerting to say the least. What kind of reaction was this?
“Is there anyone here who doesn’t support the Grand Duke? If so, please come forward.”
“You can’t come back now and say that, Mr. Branch Chief.”
“No, no, no. You’ve been looking at the Grand Duke of Wen-tze with a critical eye.”
“Oh, right, right. Didn’t you?”
They all giggled, shattering the atmosphere that Nan Gonghan had created. Nangong Han’s face flushed red.
Hana it.
It was the trust of the Southern Palace warriors that made heavy talk seem less heavy.
“If it weren’t for the Grand Duke, I’d already be a man of the other world.”
“I thought I was dead with an axe in my back. The Grand Duke fought over me.”
“That’s the tenth time you’ve told me that story. Enough.”
“Come on, we’ve all saved lives once or twice.”
Without realizing it, I was getting tons of support. I simply continued on my path.
All the members of the Southern Palace were looking at me and smiling. They were saying that their support for the Grand Duke was natural.
