Don't Be Kind Rashly (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 128

Aldwin Rochester’s appearance was neither particularly coincidental nor surprising.

He was the Kalleta ambassador, and Kalleta had kept its doors shut until the Persesta Emperor forcibly tore open the barrier gate, leaving them no choice but to establish diplomatic relations.

Thus, it was only natural for the newly arrived Kalleta ambassador—especially one who had been replaced mid-assignment—to attend such an event, make an impression, and offer greetings.

It was also perfectly reasonable for an ambassador to deliver congratulatory words on behalf of the king or emperor he served. After all, today was a joyous occasion—the first ladies’ banquet in 430 years.

However, it was utterly unthinkable for the ambassador, while delivering his message, to suddenly roll his eyes back and summon the emperor he served.

“My lady, no, please don’t. Put that down. You’re not ready yet.”

Melfius stepped in front of Lu, who was about to raise a spear of jade-green light, clearly having learned the technique from Hayden when they defeated Delgau. His eyes blazed with fierce determination—he looked ready to stab that wretch without hesitation.

“My lady, we’re here. You don’t need to do it yourself.”

Ophelia also stepped forward, blocking Lu’s path just as Melfius had, gently coaxing her in a hushed voice, startled by the sudden turn of events.

Young Sages were meant to be protected by their elders. The fact that Lu—who was always calm and rational—immediately resorted to using her power upon seeing Carlos meant she’d suffered more than enough.

Indeed, she must have endured terrible hardship in the East. Recalling how Lu had lain unconscious for six days in the Aselot Palace, Melfius bared his teeth toward Carlos.

“So you’ve finally become my successor. Congratulations.”
