Chapter 1724
Silverbell appeared embarrassed even as her fingers tightened around the steel bars, hanging her head as she murmured, "The Martial Alliance is no longer the informal outfit it was before, sir-we now answer directly to Caius Laine, the Mayor of Morhen. Even if we expanded over ten times in scale, with our influence reaching across Draconia, we're..."
"Hahaha! Isn't that a good thing?"
Madfist chuckled. "Kid, do you remember the oath I took up?"
Silverbell looked up in surprise, tears welling up in her eyes as she recounted, "This is the Martial Alliance. As guardians of peace in Draconia, humility is our honor, and chivalry is our code. May our enemies fall and our people rise above."
"Good, good..."
The old man smiled. "It seems this old man's oath is at least remembered. Good... Good..."
Frank stood outside the cell as well, having heard the exchange between Silverbell and Madfist, a wistful look showing in his eyes as he looked at Silverbell's lonely expression.
"Guardians of peace in Draconia, huh?" he murmured to himself.
It was embarrassing to mention it, but after subduing the Yimmels in Bralog, Frank had been staying in Cologne Court, training and resting-basically leading an easy life without a care for the rest of the world.
And while he was relaxing, Lady Silverbell, the chief of the Martial Alliance, was facing enemies of Draconia and protecting the citizens. Suddenly, Frank felt like he was doing too little.
Before he met Helen, he had no goal in life other than to avenge his mother and get back at his old man for making light of him.
But after meeting Helen, Vicky, and the others, Frank matured considerably and now wished to protect those who were close to him. But what about Silverbell?Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
He certainly had no idea what she had to go through over the years after he left Southdam.
Nheless, the once naive toddler. who used to follow him around was now the chief of the Martial Alliance, with plenty weighing down on her shoulders. to

Whenever they met, Silvebell always tried to maintain or replicate the time they had together when she followed Frank around, but Frank knew for a fact that she was s much more mature than he now. to

She was willing to sacrifice herself for his sake, her loyalty always staying with him, even when she was deceiving him for the spiritron vein.
In reality, she simply saw further ahead, and that left Frank feeling a weird bitterness and guilt at the bottom of his heart.
Turning, Frank flashed an earnest smile at Draco. "Mr. Warden... your name is Draco Fisher, I believe?"
"Y-Yes, Mr. Lawrence..."
Draco nodded but soon repeated, "I must urge you to give up, sir. Just letting you go is already very difficult..."
"I know, I know..."
Frank threw an arm around Draco's shoulder, friends once again. "I won't be taking one with me."
"Really? T-That's great! Thank you

for your understanding, Mr. Lawrence-I mean no disrespect, but really, you have to know how difficult it is from my position..." to
But while Draco was awash with gratitude, Frank's arm tightened around his neck and whispered into his ear, "You see, I'm taking two with me."
"What?!"
Draco's eyes widened, his face soon contorting like he had been constipated for years.
