As he knew the answer, Vale looked shameful.
“The Guild Master went far away. He abandoned the country. Abusing his authority as a Guild Master, he escaped for his own good. Due to that, the command chain of the adventurer broke down and many lives that could’ve been saved were lost.”
“Judom-sama…”
“The King had appointed that Guild Master.”
Vale kept silent on his words. The King had been responsible for appointing that Guild Master. Judom was angry at himself too for not being able to see his true character.
“So I desperately grew stronger and aimed to be the Guild Master. Then I asked the King for authorities to command during emergencies. And thus the Guild Master became another King for the county.”
“…”
“I aimed for the one and only position that could correct the King’s mistakes. That was the best I could do as an adventurer. But…”
Judom clenched his fist frustrated. Vale widened his eyes from seeing this. Even now, the King’s orders were absolute. But the Guild Master had the right to decide about all emergencies regarding adventurers.
Judom gave Vale a quiet and cold look.
