Baery and Ernest stood shoulder to shoulder in the distance. They watched Suzanna with wide eyes. They looked like they were appreciating a rare masterpiece. More than a dozen people in knight suits stood behind Baery and Ernest. However, the knight suits they wore were intern knight suits, not the uniform armor of Maho empire knights.
"Uncle Ernest, General Baery." Anfey immediately walked over with Suzanna. He should have called Baery first, based on their ranks. However, Anfey did not care much about the so-called rules. In his mind, he respected Saul the most, followed by Ernest. Everyone else should be behind them.
Ernest turned to look at Anfey. "Anfey, did you kill Deswright yourself? Suzanna must have helped you."
"I did not," Suzanna said, giving Ernest a sweet smile. She would never want to steal her husband’s thunder. She needed to make it clear: "When I got there, Anfey had already killed Dewright."
Ernest and Baery looked at each other. Their expressions had changed when they heard Suzanna’s explanation. Ernest was proud, while Baery was shocked. They both could sense an almost invisible force running through Anfey’s body. This force did not seem to be able to threaten a master swordsman. They could not believe Anfey actually did it. This only proved their theory that a supreme power indeed passed his skills to Anfey.
"Uncle Ernest, you are here for…?" Anfey asked.
"Baery came here to talk to Master Marino," Ernest explained. "I did not want anything to happen to him, so I came with. Besides, I knew you would be here too."
"It isn’t that important to find Marino anymore. Anfey, I need to talk to you," Baery said abruptly. He turned to look at Suzanna and smiled. "Madam, can I?"
Suzanna was shocked for a moment before she moved to the side to allow Anfey to pass. Alice had not left yet. She looked perplexed. Baery did not mean to discuss it with Anfey but asked him to do it because Anfey was younger than him. However, when he called Suzanna "madam," he had treated both Anfey and Suzanna as his peers.
Anfey felt weird about it, but he did not say anything. He walked behind Baery.
"Deswright was a student of Philip, but we did not know about it," Baery said casually as he walked. "I did not know all the details. I heard when the news got to Sacred City, Philip passed out, which caught the attention of the chief general."
Anfey smiled. He wondered who this chief general was. He had heard about him from Saul and Miorich. Now he heard about him again from Baery. It sounded like he was in a high position with considerable power.
"In fact, Philip should be respected," Baery said with a sigh. "He has helped at least three people--Shawn, Dalmatian and Deswright earn the title of master swordsman for the empire." Baery chuckled, then continued, "The acplishments Philip achieved were almost as many as Newyoheim in Ellison Empire. Anfey, do you know why Philip ended up in a such bad situation when he got older?"
"Because he has a good-for-nothing grandson
