"…"
"…"
Lionel was silent as the ride back home rolled forward. Everything was still fresh in his mind. He couldn't even believe they were all real.
He looked at his lap and his eyes became fixated on the box he was holding. His fingers lightly traced the edges. Even the box of the medal had intricate patterns.
"What just happened…" he murmured under his breath.
He still couldn't believe everything that had happened to him. An early knight offer, a public recognition from the emperor himself, and even been announced as the winner of the retreat?
All of that happened in a single day.
Damn….. This is nuts, Lionel let out a sigh as he leaned back slightly.
After that scene in the throne room, they were immediately dismissed. Though before that, the emperor said that he would be greatly rewarded. The rewards? He doesn't actually know.
