Raphael buried his head between his knees. In response to Abel’s question, there was only a faint whimper.

Abel’s imposing manner gradually diminished. He walked beside Raphael’s bed in silence.

“It’s useless to cry. The Tears left behind by Claremont and the others’relatives will not be able to exchange for their lives,”Abel said. “This operation, let me trust you one more time. “I hope you can use your own strength to atone for your sins.”

“Mm.”Raphael’s muffled voice reached Abel’s ears.

Abel sighed, he stood up and said to Raphael, who was still unwilling to face him, “Hurry up and eat your dinner. It will be cold in a while. I hope that your body will recover quickly. After all, only then can you complete your mission.”

Raphael nodded.

Seeing this, Abel turned around and left Raphael’s tent. He slowly walked back to the dining hall.

When Abel walked into the dining hall, he found that Bunduk and Kant were already sitting at the table and enjoying their dinner.

“Captain Abel!”When Bunduk saw Abel, he immediately stood up and shouted enthusiastically.

Abel took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed his negative emotions. He tried his best to smile and Strode to the dining table. He greeted Bandark and Kant. “Your Majesty Kant, Commander Bunduk. I’m sorry I’m late.”

“It’s okay. Coincidentally, we just sat down. Let’s eat together.”Kant waved his hand and said with a smile.

“Okay. Then I’ll sit down.”Abel nodded and answered. He found a chair and sat down.

The three of them waited for the waiter to serve the dishes, then quietly began to eat.

When Kant ate, he was not used to talking to others while chewing food.

After Bunduk and Kant ate together several times, they also recognized this habit of his. And they kept quiet together with him.

However, today was the first time he met Kant and the others. When he saw Kant take the initiative to invite him to eat with him, he gladly agreed. During the meal, he had been observing the expressions of Kant and Abel. He looked very awkward.

Kant’s appetite had always been very small. Not long after, he put down his knife and fork and used a napkin to wipe away the oil stains on the side of his mouth.

Abel’s action of putting a carrot into his mouth paused, and then he put down his silver fork. He sat quietly on the spot.

Kant finally noticed his awkward look and said with a laugh, “This has always been my habit of eating. You Don’t have to worry about it.”

“That’s right.”Bunduk raised his head from the fierce battle with the food and nodded.

“Okay.”Abel breathed a sigh of relief. He picked up the vegetables on the plate with his fork and continued to eat.

Kant sat at the side and asked the two of them, “How is the schedule for the visit to the ship’s society coming along?”

“Yes, I have already sent a message to the members of the ship’s society. They arranged to meet in the morning,”Abel replied. “When they heard the news of your arrival, King Kant, they were still very surprised.”

“Yes, as long as everything goes smoothly.”Kant nodded and replied, “Where is Bunduk?”

“I’ve arranged for my soldier to set off early in the morning and conduct an investigation on the way from here to the ship’s society.”Bunduk turned his body and replied.

“Yes, you’ve done well.”Kant said, “Since the official matters have been explained clearly, I’ll return to the camp to rest.”

“Yes.”Bunduk and Abel nodded and saluted to Kant.

“You two should rest early too.”After Kant left a reminder, he got up and left the restaurant.

After watching Kant leave, Bunduk continued to fight with the food on his plate.

“I heard that you went to look for Raphael.”After putting a mouthful of food into his mouth, Bunduk looked at Abel and asked.

Abel put down the knife and fork in his hand. He had almost finished eating.

“Yes.”

“Did he say anything to you?”Bunduk continued to eat without caring about his image. “Because I heard that you were his friend for ten years.”

“No.”Abel frowned and said, “His mood is very bad. He feels that his entire status is very unstable.”

“I went to look for him once before. He told me a lot of things about gods,”Bunduk explained. “Actually, I don’t really understand.”

“Raphael was very confident. Before he walked out of the military barrack, he was also a highly regarded military officer.”Abel’s gaze became unfocused.

“A soldier who did not walk out of the military barrack…”Bunduk stared at the steak on his plate and whispered.

“Raphael was really smart, especially when it came to understanding.”Abel’s gaze fell on Bunduk. “He was able to accomplish all the tasks given to us by our superiors.”

“Perhaps it was these experiences that accumulated his confidence.”Bunduk finished his meal as well. The two of them looked at each other and chatted.

“Yes.”Abel agreed. “At that time, he was standing at the top of the crowd and shining. “After all, he was only seventeen when he entered the military barrack. “I asked him before: what was supporting him in his advancement?”

“What did he say?”Bunduk asked while picking his teeth.

“He said, ‘it’s an idea.'”Abel seemed to have thought of something. The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. “He said that God is on his side. As long as he wants to do something, he can do it.”

Bunduk frowned because of the memories Abel mentioned. He hesitated and said, “Is he religious?”

Bunduk’s knowledge of religion and mysticism was at a blank stage, which was why he had such a question.

“No. He only believes in the ‘God’in his body,”Abel closed his eyes and answered softly.

“It’s really troublesome…”bunduk said, “Thinking about it, it’s understandable that he has been avoiding this for the past few days.”

“The collapse of the god in his heart is also a good thing for him,”Abel said. “I’m just worried that he’ll come up with some new and strange ideas.”

“It’s not impossible,”Bunduk replied. “However, with you by his side guiding him, perhaps he’ll be able to break free from his self-sealing status and return to the real world.”

“It’s because I was too short-sighted in the past. I only saw the halo of a ‘smart person’enveloping him. I didn’t notice that things would develop in an extreme direction.”Abel raised his hand to cover his face, he said in a muffled voice, “Now, it’s already beyond redemption.”

Bunduk stared at Abel. His gaze was extremely serious as he said, “Actually, it’s quite pitiful to keep finding excuses to cover up for yourself. You have to retain your friend’s will before he breaks down.”
