When everyone who had followed Richard returned to the capital, they naturally spread the news.
They talked about Duke Ethan Holystar sending his beast slave into the kingdom to roam freely — even carrying an item that contained the power of a Grand Sovereign — so no one should have dared to provoke him.
Yet unfortunately for him, that item was taken by Richard. Even his beast slave was captured by Richard.
The main point of every story was the same: Duke Ethan Holystar was unpredictable — but Richard had overcome the trouble he caused.
People began to fear Ethan somewhat, but Richard's reputation grew even larger.
Rumors even spread that he possessed the legendary Void Element.
If the news had already reached the capital, then it would naturally spread across the entire kingdom — and beyond, to other regions of the Eastern Territory of the Land of Humans.
