Count Reinhart, ignoring the dust on his face, immediately summoned Baron Fabio and General Brandon, along with several other surviving nobles, for a secret meeting in the manor's hall.
"Everyone! Our survival is entirely thanks to Lord Jack!" Count Reinhart's voice was hoarse but firm, "We must report his heroic deeds to the King immediately and fight for everything he asks for! This is not only to fulfill our promise but also for our own safety!"
He cast a meaningful glance at General Brandon, hinting at the "wolves" in the Royal Capital.
