Man With Super Medical Skill novel Chapter 3263

Gadel's countenance shone with an exuberant smile as he approached the ministers, offering his assistance to lift them from the ground.

"You all are the stalwarts of Montiria," he said, his voice brimming with heartfelt concern as he gently patted their shoulders. "Please, rise. In the governance of our realm, we shall rely upon you—the pillars of our nation—more than ever."

"It is no trouble at all. Serving Your Majesty is our greatest honor," one minister responded hurriedly.

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty," another quickly added. "I must attend to some family matters, so I shall take my leave now."

The ministers, eager to escape, felt a growing dread. None of them wished to linger another moment with Gadel, whom they regarded with deep suspicion. The atmosphere in Montiria had been one of mutual respect and cordiality. Minor errors were part of the process, but now Gadel seemed poised to betray their trust.

As twilight descended, stretching long shadows over the palace grounds, Gadel's gaze swept over the guards, their hands poised threateningly on their sword hilts. "The darkness deepens, and the roads become perilous. Ensure that the ministers are escorted home safely. And remember to accompany them to court on the morrow."

"Indeed, Your Majesty! We will protect the ministers with our lives. Should any malefactors dare to attack, we shall fall before allowing any harm to befall them!" the guards vowed, dropping to one knee, their voices echoing with fervor.

The ministers, visibly shaken, felt their knees quake with fear. The sudden need for an escort raised their anxiety. Hadn't they already complied with all demands? Was Gadel concerned they might reconsider once they were out of his sight?

"Your Majesty, these men have been entrusted with your protection. They must not be dismissed," one minister implored urgently. "Moreover, I am prepared to draft a declaration in blood, petitioning for Mr. Larson's appointment as Prime Regent—second only to you!"

"With the Prime Regent steadfast at your side, Montiria shall flourish for generations!" the minister declared, his voice resonating through the royal chamber as he fell to both knees, his forehead striking the marble with a thud.
