Chapter 1779 Chapter 1779. Quiet
?After the two left, John signaled the Allied forces to depart. Without Jack's runestone of marching, it should take these armies around five days to arrive at World Throne. freeweb novel. com
He also sent a message to Water Lily, who was now the commander of the Allied navies. They only lost a few ships during the battle against the frogman pirates, so their armada was still imposing. These ships now sailed out of the lake into the large river that branched to all over the country.
Similar to Heavenly Citadel, World Throne's territory also had a lake. This lake also connected to the river, so the Allied navies could sail their ships there.
John believed the Allied forces were more than enough to handle whatever defensive measures Master prepared at World Throne. That was considering if Master was truly there. However, he still thought it was better to bring the navies, just in case. They were too close to victory to be careless.

Grace looked back at the departing armies.
"You know, you can go with them if you want. I can look after Jack by myself," Domon said as she and Brave King flew side-by-side.
"No, I want to make sure Jack is okay," Grace said.
"My grandson is lucky to have you," Domon said, which caused Grace's cheeks to redden.
"I heard you taught Jack and Red Death when they were little. What were they like then?" Grace asked.
"You mean Cleo? Do you want to know what they were like, or how close they were?" Domon teased, which caused the redness on Grace's cheeks to turn up another notch.
Domon chuckled. "Don't worry about them. Cleo has more interest in martial arts than my grandson. Her seeming interest in Jack is simply because she wants to defeat him."
"Really?" Grace then remembered Jet once told her about Domon's relationship with Murong. She guessed she shouldn't put much trust in Domon's judgment about someone's feelings.
"Cleo is a good girl, even if she is too serious sometimes. But to be frank, I prefer if Jack is with you than her."
"I… I will go ahead," Grace said and increased her flight speed. She was afraid Domon would notice her face, which she believed should have become too red.

After Domon landed on Dritzuut palace's roof, Brave King turned back into a small metallic ball and vanished. Domon just shrugged at the scene. He went down with Grace to the royal chamber where Jack was resting.
The door to the chamber was guarded by two level 80 rare elite native soldiers. They saluted Grace and Domon when the two arrived and opened the door for them. They passed a foyer after going through the door before coming to the bedchamber. When they did, they were surprised to find someone they didn't know sitting beside the still-sleeping Jack.
"Hello," Peniel greeted Grace and Domon.
"Who… Who is she?" Grace asked Peniel, indicating the girl who sat beside Jack. She remembered telling the guards outside not to let anyone enter except for a few selected people from their guild.
"She is… Do you remember the guild member who helped Jack when he was trapped inside evil Janus' secret dimension?"
Grace was using her Inspect when she asked Peniel the question.
"Quiet…?"
The girl sitting by the bed turned when her name was called. She looked like a young girl in her twenties. She had an average face but her skin was very smooth and clean. She had short green hair and a pair of blue eyes.
Quiet rose and gave Grace and Domon a polite nod for a greeting.
"I thought you didn't join this war campaign? Why are you here?" Grace asked.
"I apologize for coming here uninvited," Quiet answered. "I was in a nearby area due to my quest. I came after the battle ended to see if there was anything I could help with. That was when I received the news that one of our guild leaders is in comatose. I came here to see if I could help him using my spells. Unfortunately, I can't."
"That's nice of you, miss," Domon said. "But Grace and Peniel here are among our top healers. Even they couldn't wake my grandson, so there is no need to feel bad about it. We appreciate your effort."
"I understand. It's just that I know a thing or two about curses. I thought our leader might have been under a curse, so I came."
"Is he under a curse?" Grace asked.
Quiet shook her head. She said, "He is simply resting. He might have done something that caused his body extreme exhaustion, but I'm certain he is not in any danger. He will wake up eventually."
"Do you know when that will happen?"
Quiet again shook her head. "Unfortunately, no."
"As long as he is not in danger, then it's okay," Domon said. "I say let him rest. He had been too busy all this time."
"Well, since there is nothing I can do, please allow me to excuse myself," Quiet said.
"Forgive me, but we haven't thanked you for saving Jack when he was trapped in the Order of Magi," Grace said.
Quiet smiled at the gesture. "There is no need to. It is only right for a guild member to help her fellow members."
"But how did you know he was trapped in there?" Grace asked.
"I have a friend who is a member of that faction. He secretly found out about Jack and informed me about it. Since everyone had gone to the convention, I tried finding help from outside the guild. I'm glad that everything works out in the end."
"That is very kind of you, miss. I represent my grandson to thank you for what you've done," Domon said and made a polite bow.
"As I said, there is no need to. I was simply doing what was my responsibility. Now, if you will excuse me," Quiet said and walked toward the exit.
Once Quiet was out of the door, Domon said, "She is no normal person."
