A couple of days had passed since the incident, and the matter with the Guilds had essentially been dealt with.
Shore was sent to the frontlines as a volunteer. After all, she essentially counted as a leader. If she survived, she would return in three years, but she probably wouldn't work as a representative anymore.
She kind of burned all bridges when she kept shouting at Wild.
Naga decided to join the army of her own volition. Apparently, she never wanted to be a representative. She just did that because her sister was the Naga Covenant's Guild Leader.
However, since her sister had joined the army, there was no point for Naga to remain.
She simply followed her sister and joined the army.
Meanwhile, Kyle would just stay here as the Guild's representative.
'Boss hasn't said anything,' Kyle thought. 'You would think that he would say something when I finally get to meet the target of his revenge for the first time.'
'Yet, he's just quiet.'
'Is he just that careful?'
Kyle thought back to his meeting with King Skysand.
'He's very… neutral?'
'I mean, he doesn't seem like some kind of evil overlord.'
'He doesn't seem overly polite.'
'He doesn't seem like a super nice hero.'
'He doesn't seem like a mighty king, worthy of respect.'
'But he also doesn't seem like somebody you shouldn't respect.'
'He's not overbearing, but he's also not a pushover.'
'It's like, I feel like I should just be a bit careful about what I say. I can't be completely casual, but I also don't need to be too polite.'
'It's so… average. Normal. Unassuming. Regular.'
'It's like he's just a regular guy.'
'If it weren't for his position, he would be quite forgettable, actually.'
'He has the fancy name of Hieronymus, but he acts more like a John or Charlie.'
Then, Kyle remembered the Crown Prince and the Princess he had seen on his first day in the castle.
'In fact, those two also don't seem special. Larian felt like a regular boss. Sure, he wasn't perfect, but he was pretty good overall. The Princess also seemed quite normal.'
'It's like they are all just regular people.'
'It's like I'm in the Normie Kingdom.'
Kyle scratched the back of his head.
'Yeah, well, who cares? None of that matters anyway.'
'Gotta focus on my muscles, including the ones in my brain. Big Kyle need big bicep or stone go bang and Kyle go pop.'
After a couple of days, Kyle had to interrupt his training for the weekly meeting.
When he saw the Crown Prince, Kyle immediately asked a question.
"Hey, do you need me in the weekly meetings?" he asked.
Larian took a deep breath.
Technically, Kyle was still the representative of a Four-Weapons Guild, which meant that he had to attend the meetings.
But there was literally no use case in which Kyle would ever be needed.
The entire Stark Brotherhood was currently deployed on the central frontlines.
All of them were in constant contact with high-ranking officers.
All of them were already contributing to the kingdom's defenses as much as they could.
Even if there were a huge crisis, it wouldn't matter. After all, the General of Skysand was on the frontlines, and he could just directly contact them.
