Others Summon Dragons, I Summon Legendary Knights novel Chapter 251

Chapter 251: The Hero Is Alive

Quite late in the evening that same day, the butler opened the door and Isolde, wearing a hoodie, walked in with a tall golden haired man two steps behind.

The butler’s hand on the door trembled when Godfrey glanced at him. Those eyes... it shook the core of the butler.

Christine, who sat on the sofa drinking a cup of coffee in anxiety while waiting for her daughter, looked at Isolde as she removed the hood, revealing her face.

Christine’s eyes moistened. She held back her tears as Isolde fell into her arms. Her fingers trailed Isolde’s crimson hair, trembling softly.

After caressing Isolde for a while, Christine looked up and saw Godfrey. Her eyes slowly widened as she gazed at the man who sat on the sofa adjacent to hers.

He crossed one leg above the other. There was a soft smile on his face but she could sense something had changed about him.

The same impression she got from that painting was what she felt from Godfrey right now.

Arthur walked into the sitting room, his expression softening as he saw Isolde. Then, he looked at Godfrey and frowned.

When their eyes met, Godfrey stood up, waited for Isolde to have her reunion with her father before approaching him.

"What happened?" Arthur asked as they left the sitting room and went to a balcony. Leaning against the railing, Godfrey looked at the forests with a placid expression.

"Cain has four bodies. He killed Isolde, he watches over paradise, he controls the authorities from the shadows, he’s a god to the Fanatics. Every single place there is order, he’s involved and at the height of it."

Arthur’s eyebrows came together. "What about the last one?" He asked deeply.

"I don’t know but my whole life has been a plot. If I’m supposed to believe what you said and what Gabriel said, then he’s indeed after the golden order. I haven’t seen anyone forcefully take another’s summon but you can’t be too sure when it comes to Cain." Godfrey responded calmly.

"What about your family? Do you need somewhere safe for your mother?"

"Safe? There’s no safe place. Your butler might be a clone who has no knowledge he can be used at any time. These people around you can turn against you on Cain’s whims. Safety for a place is a misconception in this world."

Godfrey’s reply made Arthur frown. "Godfrey. If you see everyone as Cain’s clones your life will be a miserable one."

"Then I guess you’ll have to lose your wife first before your eyes open." Godfrey’s reply made Arthur’s eyes sharpen.

Godfrey glanced at him, his golden irises gleaming softly as it showed no readable expression.

"I was once the youngest widower on earth and I was the cause of her death. I keep running to places to feel safe, I won’t do that anymore." He told Arthur.

His eyes turned away. "The only leverage I have now is that he has no idea Isolde is alive and that I know his secret. Barging into paradise to demand his head will make him deactivate his ability in paradise and send hordes of agents and fanatics after them. Cain won’t kill me but every other person he kills will only make me want to kill him even more, furthering my quest for strength which would give him what he desires. I’m in a cage of a world and the only source of escape is to be bigger than the cage. To be uncontainable."

"Cain is obsessed with control. He loves watching as the world acts as he wants. That’s what he’s been doing with you and everyone else. He’ll hate when things go contrary to his plans and that one of those is if the world is against him." Arthur walked over and wrapped one hand around the railing.
