Mason was being grabbed by two soldiers to imprison him under the orders of the king, all the soldiers and guards were looking at this strange situation amazed. It's not every day you are sothing like this, The news of a Duke being arrested spread throughout the castle like wildfire. All the important people like nobles and ministers in the castle get to know about his punishnt.
Nobles were gathering to discuss how they can help while part of them was planning to do sothing underhanded about his territory and power.
"Damn that Duke, because of him king must have lost his trust in us,"
"Should we help him? Even if it's like this we can't let a noble experience this type of treatnt."
"If you want you can help but I won't, I'm pretty sure the king must be pissed off by his actions, I don't want his wrath to fall on ,"
They were discussing about their future plan but in the end, they decided not to help as it might affect their own records.
Throughout the whole path to the prison, Mason didn't stop blaming Ivan and the adventurers for how they avoided helping him and stuff.
Suddenly, a girl ran in the direction of Mason shouting at him,
"Sir Duke! Sir Duke! What happened to my uncle?" At first, Mason couldn't identify her but after carefully rembering he rembered the figure of the girl who ca to the mansion with Norman.
The girl was quickly blocked by the guards but she kept yelling at him.
Mason ignored her as she was the least concern of his right now, but Hannah got to hear about how he abandoned the army he was appointed to and ca back to the capital.
"What happened to my uncle, Duke?" She yelled but the guards were not sensitive enough to stop their work for an unknown girl.
Mason was taken to his prison leaving Hannah with her tears. Her hatred was slowly building up inside about everything around her. The only question she had was why is this happening to her. She was a noble daughter not long ago now she doesn't even know anyone in the capital.
She thought about how this all started and the only thing that ca to her mind was those rebels. They killed her own family and now she doesn't even know what happened to her one and only family mber that was left.
"Why did you do this to ? What did I do to you?" She felt her hatred for Velian and his group becoming stronger and stronger.
"I won't forgive you, I won't," Nobody knew where she went as she walked out of the crowd.
While all this was happening in the castle, Ivan returned back to the adventure guild to rest as he was tired from all the work he had to do.
"Welco back, guild master," The receptionist welcod him rather warmly. Ivan was popular among everyone as he was the idol figure for many including young adventures. He never had a lack of marriage proposals even from noble ladies but, he was never interested in that side of his life instead he was like a magic nerd doing a search for new powers and constantly keeping eye on younglings.
If soone managed to grab his attention, he would boldly support them without caring about the money or anything. It was rather hard to get his attention as he only accepts the people that he thinks, who is worthy of his support.
The adventure groups were given their paynt for the quest of this war rather early so one of them complained and Ivan took a promise from them to not talk about what happened with Velian.
Most people would think that it was dumb to believe soone with just a promise but, no adventure wanted to have so kind of bad history with the renowned guild master himself, so they stayed true to their words.
The only party who refused paynt was the blazing sun group,
"Master, A-ranked party blazing sun is waiting for you in the eting room, I didn't ask them to leave until you give your orders, should I ask them to leave?" She asked while climbing the stairs with Ivan.
"No those kids must have sothing important to talk about, I will talk with them, you can go back to your work," He said with a relaxed tone.
She left after giving a respectable bow to him, Ivan quickly went to the eting room to see what they were up to.
"Hey kids, why are you here? I heard you refused to take the paynts," Ivan had his nonchalant attitude.
"Guild master, Welco back," The leader gave his normal greeting seeing the guild master.
"We wanted to talk about that kid, is he soone you know?" They asked looking at Ivan with interest.
"I don't know, I'm just as confused as you guys, anyway don't involve in anything again with that kid, if you do then I won't help you," Ivan wasn't scared or anything but, he so badly wanted Velian on his side.
"We never experienced such a crushing defeat before, and until the end, he was holding back, did you see how he defeated us in an instant?" The woman who was called old hag by Velian said making others' faces annoyed.
"I guess he must be at the sa level as guild master but how did he attain such a level at such a young age, it's absurd,"
"Well, sotis people like that appear, we call them genius, Anyway I'm not going to get in love with war anymore, it's fun to watch from sideways how things go, and I advise you guys not to get involved," Ivan decided to wait until he sees sothing interesting.
The blazing sun party wanted to know about how they got defeated by such a young man, they were renowned as one of the greatest adventures parties so if the information leaked about them being defeated by a kid spread around, it will be the end of them.
All of them felt satisfied to hear that he is a big problem and Ivan promised not to let any of this information spread around the guild.
They thanked him before leaving the eting room. Ivan felt that they were up to no good but, he couldn't stop them even if he wanted to do so he decided to let this happen and observe it happily.
