Chapter 594 - 593: Do You Have a Dream?

...

...

Inside the manor hall.

Beo Ka followed the guard’s footsteps into the hall. Just after paying respects, his gaze was firmly captured by the familiar and burly figure in the corner.

Beo Ka’s eyes widened, his mouth slightly open, as if he saw a ghost climbing out from a pile of the dead.

He rubbed his eyes to confirm he wasn’t mistaken,

"Lord Sharon, how are you here?!"

Beo Ka’s voice became sharp with excitement, and just as he wanted to step forward, he abruptly stopped,

"It’s so good to see you again!"

"I was injured and captured by Madre."

As Sharon spoke, he instinctively touched the place on his chest where he was wounded,

"And when Madre retreated to White Rock Canyon, he encountered Lord Luo De’s army."

"Then Madre was repelled by Lord Luo De’s army, and we were rescued."

Sharon cautiously glanced at Luo De and continued: "This time we must thank Lord Luo De for his mercy; not only did he save me, but he also healed my wounds."

"That’s wonderful! Thank you, Lord Luo De!"

Beo Ka’s face was full of excitement, bowing fervently to Luo De,

"My lord will certainly be very happy!"

"Thank you for your kindness! I am truly grateful!"

Beo Ka’s voice trembled, overwhelmed with emotion.

The knight most cherished by Baron Lurice had been recovered, and this was undoubtedly excellent news.

And Beo Ka did not inquire why he wasn’t informed immediately about Sharon, nor did he question any details.

Being a smart man, Beo Ka knew when to ask questions and when to keep silent.

Now, praise and gratitude were the most appropriate choices.

Beo Ka lifted his head, his gaze shifting between Sharon and Luo De.

"Rest assured, honorable Lord Luo De, we will definitely provide you with ample reward!"

Beo Ka’s voice was loud, fearing Luo De might not hear his sincerity.

After making his promise, Beo Ka looked towards Knight Salen beside him: "Lord Sharon, rest assured, I will immediately report to Baron Lurice about everything that happened here and then come to fetch you."

"Alright, Beo Ka, I’m in no hurry."

Sharon nodded continuously, forcing a smile on his face, "Lord Luo De’s hospitality here is excellent, and I can exchange sword skills with Knight Durant."

Everyone understood without saying a word—no reward, no one leaves.

So, Beo Ka didn’t waste words or demand to take Sharon away directly.

Originally, delivering the letter was completing the task, and gaining Luo De’s favor was perfectly completing the task.

Now, having seen Knight Salen, it was an over-completion of the task, sure to earn Baron Lurice’s reward.

Beo Ka definitely wouldn’t let his own stupidity ruin this great situation.

Taking a deep breath, Beo Ka adjusted his expression and turned to look at Luo De, who was sitting in the main seat,

"Honorable Lord Luo De, I would like to set off now,"

Beo Ka’s voice restored to calmness, yet still slightly trembled,

"to deliver the good news here back to Eagle Ridge as fast as possible, please permit."

"You may, send my regards to Baron Lurice."

Luo De replied with a calm expression.

"Of course, Lord Luo De, thank you again for your kindness."

Beo Ka bowed deeply once more.

His movements were standard and respectful, without a hint of perfunctoriness.

Afterwards, Beo Ka nodded at Sharon before leaving the hall in hurried strides without any further pause.

After he left, Luo De looked at Sharon beside him, smiling,

"How do you feel?"

"Very well, Baron, thank you for granting me hope again."

Sharon’s body involuntarily tensed up, immediately bowing in utmost respect.

Luo De stared at Sharon, speaking faintly: "Then remember the contract between us."

The tone was casual, yet full of a threatening undertone.

Sharon’s body trembled slightly, as if he had thought of something terrifying.

But he quickly regained composure, lowering his head and saying: "Rest assured, I know what to do."

"That’s good."

Luo De waved his hand, "Go and rest, Lawrence has prepared a new room and women for you."

"Thank you!"

Sharon showed joy, "You have been so considerate, I will certainly serve you well!"

After speaking, Sharon bowed and followed Lawrence out.

Once everyone had left, the manor hall returned to silence.

Vivian turned to Luo De,

"Spending others’ gold coins, doing your own deeds, and also avoiding the issue of making Sharon surrender yet not exposing him."

Vivian’s eyes glistened with cunning, exclaiming: "Really, you got all the advantages."

"You said that wrong."

Luo De waved his hand, denying Vivian’s words, "He will only act for me at critical times, while at other times he will serve the Hawk Clan."

"If I kept him at Black Pine Ridge, then Sharon would have to serve me constantly."

Luo De asked Vivian rhetorically: "So do you think, shouldn’t Baron Lurice give me gold coins?"

"...Sounds reasonable."

Vivian looked at Luo De quizzically, "But it feels like something’s off... never mind, I can’t wrap my head around it, I won’t think about it."

"Hahaha!"

Luo De rubbed Vivian’s head, not explaining further.

Vivian shrugged indifferently and then frowned slightly,

"My only worry is, will Sharon be loyal to us?"

"It doesn’t matter, even if he is not loyal to us, we have already claimed the ransom we deserve."

Luo De said lightly: "Moreover, if he is not loyal to us, even when he’s at Black Pine Ridge, he would betray us."
