"Your Grace, Baron Deward will serve you unto death!" Baron Deward bowed deeply, speaking with gratitude.
Within Baron Deward's aged body, youthful vitality surged vigorously. The exhaustion from years of labor and the injuries left behind by battle had all completely vanished under the effects of a bowl of 'Warmheart Lotus Seed Soup.'
How could Baron Deward not understand how precious the 'Warmheart Lotus Seed Soup' was now? No wonder even Level 5 Temple Knights went mad over it.
"Work hard, and find the deserter as soon as possible!" David said, reaching out to help Baron Deward up.
"Your Grace, Earl Brooks has arrived outside the castle!" the butler entered at that moment and reported with a bow.
"Your Grace, I will go welcome Earl Brooks and bring him to meet you!" Baron Deward said with a bow.
Given Earl Brooks's status, even though he was the administrator of War Star and God's Great World's highest-ranking official on War Star, he was still not important enough for Duke Arthur to personally welcome him.
As the host and a low-ranking baron, Baron Deward naturally needed to greet him in person.
David had no intention of breaking such conventions. However, when he saw the situation outside the castle through Shadow Servant's eyes, he rose to his feet.
"Let's go together. I saw an old friend!" David said with a smile.
Outside the castle, Earl Brooks had not brought his guard unit this time. He had come lightly, accompanied only by Ambassador Kaming.
"How could I dare trouble the esteemed Duke Arthur to welcome me in person?" Upon seeing David, Earl Brooks hurried forward and bowed.
"Welcome, Earl Brooks!" David returned the greeting with a smile. Then he turned to Ambassador Kaming, who was bowing to him, stepped forward, and helped him up.
