Arnold and Jaylen stood respectfully before Gadel, who was momentarily stunned.
“You two truly are the backbone of Montiria, pillars of the state. You exude such an imposing presence.” Gadel looked at them with eyes shining brightly, using every word of praise favonovel.com could muster.
Jaylen looked at Gadel with appreciation.
Indeed, Gadel is a worthy successor chosen by King Gawain I…
Remarkable, truly remarkable. He certainly knows how to speak well…
Jaylen couldn’t help but compare Gadel with King Gawain l.
Indeed, there was a reason King Gawain I met his demise…
“Do you have my father’s final decree or something similar?” Regaining his composure, Gadel looked at Arnold with hope in his eyes.
After all, Arnold, with his appearance and demeanor, looked like the leader among the two. Even most of Gadel’s compliments had been directed at Arnold.
“I’m sorry, Your Highness Prince Gadel. Jaylen and I were assigned to a mission on the day His Majesty passed away and were not by His Majesty’s side.” Arnold placed a fist gently against his chest and bowed slightly in apology. Then, favonovel.com looked at the Eagle Eye System in Gadel’s hand.
“Generally speaking, only the heir would be given the King’s Eagle Eye System, which means you are the chosen successor, Prince Gadel.”
Gadel looked at the round badge in his hand in a daze.
So, this thing is called the Eagle Eye System.
“Your Highness Prince Gadel, there is no need to worry. Ebony Eagles remains your most steadfast sword and shield even in the face of adversity.” Arnold noticed Gadel’s anxiety and spoke softly.
Gadel nodded, then looked at Matthew and said, “Matthew, let’s continue our journey. We shouldn’t waste any more time on my account”
Matthew nodded, and the long procession resumed, heading toward Montiria’s border.

Meanwhile, Emmett had already returned to Seraphis with Sasha.
Helen, who was at S&L’s Breakfast, quickly handed over the shop’s duties to others and drove home upon hearing the news of Sasha’s return.
At home, Helen saw Sasha sitting on the couch, lost in thought, with lifeless eyes. She was holding a body pillow with a cartoon image of Matthew, sitting there in a daze.
“Sasha, didn’t you go to the border with Matthew? Why are you back alone? Where is Matthew?”
Helen searched the house but couldn’t find any sign of Matthew. Seeing favonovel.com daughter’s state, favonovel.com anxiously asked Sasha.
Sasha didn’t respond and just sat there, favonovel.com eyes gradually reddening.
“Matthew, Sasha, I’m back! I bought a ten-pound… I…”
James, who was carrying a large, still-flopping sea fish, pushed the door open enthusiastically. His voice abruptly stopped when favonovel.com saw the scene inside.
His wife, Helen, was standing there with a worried expression, looking at Sasha, whose eyes were red and silent.
A bad feeling arose in James’ heart. He threw the sea fish into the swimming pool in the yard and quickly walked into the house.
“Sasha, didn’t Matthew come back with you?”
Sasha shook favonovel.com head, tears streaming down favonovel.com cheeks.
“What happened? Is Matthew still angry about the past? Sasha, tell favonovel.com your mom and I will apologize if favonovel.com comes back. He can punish us however favonovel.com wants!”
She shook favonovel.com head and choked out, seeing James’ anxious expression. “Matthew was surrounded at Basha’s Sacred Mount. He forced someone to send me back to protect me.”
“What?”
