The Sword Demon and Cha Seong-tae sat side by side, gazing at the carriage.
It was a carriage they had never seen in Illyang County, so they had no choice but to see who would disembark.
However, no one came out of the carriage.
Instead, two coachmen holding the reins approached the Zaha Inn directly and looked at the Sword Demon.
"We come from the Martial Alliance," one of them said.
Cha Seong-tae asked, "What brings you here?"
"The Prince of Dreams, who challenged the next leader of the Martial Alliance, has won in a private duel and has been appointed as the successor to the current leader, Lord Im So-baek. There will be a retirement ceremony and an inauguration ceremony, and the Prince of Dreams has sent a carriage to invite your master. There is still plenty of time, so whenever you are ready, we will escort you."
Cha Seong-tae smiled broadly as he looked at the Sword Demon.
"Master?"
The Sword Demon asked the alliance members, "Have you eaten?"
The members replied, "We can eat now."
The Sword Demon pointed to the Zaha Inn.
"Since this is the inn of the Hawoong Lord, you can eat here."
"Understood."
