"What?!"
Dilbark exclaimed.
The loyal spy even jumped up from the ground.
Almost immediately, Dilbark shouted—
"Please, my lord, stay where you are, I will come to fetch you immediately!
No!
No way!
You can't stay where you are!
My lord, please find a safe place to hide—I will reach Inner Bay as soon as possible!"
With that, Dilbark turned to leave.
However, just as his palm touched the door handle, the spy suddenly recalled the exceptional order given to him by the Old Lion—
'Dilbark, remember, you and your men must protect Arthur Kredos at all costs, except for me... No, from this moment forward, even my orders must be based on the premise of not harming Arthur Kredos. If it will harm Arthur Kredos, everything should prioritize Arthur Kredos.
You must remember!'
This extraordinary command, combined with the bizarre situation in Inner Bay, led the spy to have a profoundly bad suspicion.
But, full of loyalty, the spy stopped in his tracks.
