The Beast King's words weren't wrong, but they cut Vestor's pride deeply.
Because he was supposed to be the wise owl of Roc Forest.
Kael could have exterminated Vestor's entire owl tribe with ease after conquering it. They weren't particularly strong in battle, nor were they good in any useful skill around the kingdom. Their survival had never depended on force as they were quite reclusive.
Yet Kael had personally chosen Vestor as his advisor because his wisdom was renowned throughout Roc Forest.
The fate of Vestor's entire tribe rested on how well he served the Beast King.
And now, he had failed—miserably.
Knowing he was unworthy of the title, Vestor bowed low and said humbly, "This subordinate accepts the King's judgment. I shall resign my position and return to my tribe."
