At Durandal’s Royal Military Region…
James was standing in front of a helicopter.
Before him was the Queen of Durandal.
Though James came here on a military exchange between the two nations on the surface, he left to sort out his affairs. By the time he returned, the military exchange was already completed.
“Are you really going back?” The Queen of Durandal looked at James.
Although she was in Durandal the whole time, she knew about the events that unfolded on Mount Olympus. That was because the Knights of the Louis family who participated in the conference had narrated the chain of events to her. She knew that James had defeated Archbishop Polaris, ranked third on the Elysian Ranking, and saved the martial artists who were abducted.
“Mhm.”
James nodded and said, “Actually, I came here to sort something out. Now that the matter is resolved, I’ll be returning to Sol.”
The Queen of Durandal was reluctant to let James leave. She planned to further enhance her cooperative relationship with him and was planning to rely on him to stabilize the situation in Durandal.
However, Koehler was dead. Now that her greatest menace was gone, things were much simpler to deal with.
“Return to Durandal when you’re free.”
The Queen extended her arm and tried to shake James’ hand.
However, James saluted her instead. Then, he turned and boarded the plane.
“James!”
Before he could board, a voice came from afar.
Yelena who was wearing a white dress ran over to him and called his name.
James turned his head. Upon seeing Yelena, he said smilingly, “Why are you here?”
Yelena pouted and asked, “What? Can’t I send you off? Seriously, what’s wrong with you? We shared hardships together, didn’t we? Why did you leave without saying our goodbyes?”
Smiling, James said, “I didn’t want to bother you, Your Highness. I’m an uncultured man who doesn’t know how to speak in a refined manner…”
“Don’t give me that.” Yelena interrupted James and asked, “When will you return to Durandal?”
