Chapter 351 – First Warning

Translator: Atlas / Editor: Regan

Herod held his breath, forgetting to exhale the smoke of his cigar. Those words were so cold, cold as a blade of ice, and made goosebumps rise on his skin.

Fortunately, the darkness of the night allowed him to keep his pride. Herod forced a smile.

“…is something wrong?” He asked, striving to keep his voice neutral.

Ishakan exhaled a slow plume of stroke, prolonging the silence until Herod grew impatient.

“I dont like it,” he answered.

“……”

Ishakan was all but saying outright that the smoke of Herods cigar was bothering him. While he was smoking a cigar himself. It was so unbelievable, for a moment, Herod doubted his own ears.

But suddenly alarm bells rang in his mind, and his mouth went dry with nervousness. His pride would not let him retreat with his tail between his legs.

Lowly barbarians.

Brutes who used to be slaves, and now they were so arrogant that they wanted to rule the continent. Herods anger gradually swallowed his fear.

He drew another puff from his cigar, carefully selecting the words that would displease the barbarian, and spoke them in a long exhalation of smoke.

“All manner of things can happen in the social circles of Balkat…”

There was a great deal of debauchery in Balkat. It was even said in the continent that if one wanted to learn about colors, one should go to Balkat.

It was true that the aristocratic circles of Balkat were known for engaging in unimaginable s3xual acts. The King and Queen often participated themselves, though they knew the social disorders that arose from promiscuity. But Herod spoke as if he were relating an interesting story.
