When Temude woke up, it was already three days later.
"Where am I... Familiar ceiling... How did I get back?"
He looked up and realized that he was in the Imperial Capital of the Warrior Country, lying in the Royal Sanatorium of the capital.
Since he often got covered in injuries after major battles in the Sain Dungeon, his time residing in the sanatorium was almost longer than in his own mansion, and he was quite familiar with the scenery here.
"You finally woke up, King of Darkness."
A playful voice suddenly came from the side, startling him, and before he could even turn his head, he instinctively swung a slap toward the source of the voice, predictably hitting only air.
"Lanle, your penchant for dark humor is really annoying sometimes."
"Hehehe, just teasing you."
Lanle flashed a cheeky smile, but Temude's expression turned grim because whenever this guy showed that smile, it was nothing good.
He suddenly realized something and said, "What did you just call me?"
