Chapter 54

[Terra-Zeldra]

Grimhold’s hands hung behind him, his thoughts moving from Ethan and Delilah to the sandstorm, then to Terra-Zeldra’s betterment.

He walked steadily to his lab; classes for the day had been suspended, and he still had things to work on, one of which was the formula a student had derived.

He walked into his base and was about to close the gates.

“Commander Grimhold,” he heard a male’s voice echo. He paused to find the source of the voice to be met by the eyes of a middle-aged man.

He looked a lot like a dispatch rider, dressed in their usual uniform, but what could he be looking for with him?

He hadn’t ordered anything.

“A letter from the king,” he said between breaths. From the looks of it, he had been running.

‘Am I that fast as a walker? Or was I too stuck in thoughts to notice?’ Grimhold was less concerned about the letter.

After the rider had caught his breath, he pulled up a paper envelope from his bag.
