A Man Like None Other

Octavion didn’t care whether Bernard agreed or not-his decision to settle down in Allardland was final.

“I’ll listen to you,” Lorelei said with a faint smile, choosing to follow Octavion’s lead in everything.

Turning to Jared, Octavion asked, “Jared, may I stay in Allardland temporarily?”

Though Bernard was the rightful king, Octavion deliberately addressed Jared instead, making it clear that he had no regard for Bernard’s authority. His blatant disregard underscored how little he thought of the king’s position.

“Of course!” Jared replied without hesitation. Then, turning to Bernard, he added, “King Bernard, could you arrange accommodations for them?”

“Understood, Mr. Chance!” Bernard responded at once, readily setting off to make the necessary arrangements. There wasn’t a trace of displeasure on his face-he wouldn’t have complained even if Jared had asked him to relinquish his throne entirely.

“Go home and be more careful in the future. I’m living in Allardland now, so stop coming here to stir up trouble!” Octavion turned his gaze to Talcott, who had been hiding in the background.
