Chapter 126

“That’s.......”

“Since when did you start criticizing my words?”

Grand Duke Berard spoke coldly while his servant could only swallow the lump in his throat.

“Enforce immediately.”

“......I see.”

The servant lamented that such a terrible trick would be used on the poor young king. However, if he refused, he would be beheaded.

After some time, the young king developed a fever. It was a terrible high fever that would have killed him without proper treatment.

Grand Duke Berard smiled with relief.

‘It’s useless for healers to use heals. It’s not a disease that can be cured with heals.’

He felt good as if he had gotten rid of a sick tooth.

But there was one thing he didn’t expect: Lord Nekels, who was following the young king, despaired and committed a sudden accident.

The Light of the Kingdom of Houston.

He went to Raymond.

To save the young king.

***

“......Who are you?”

“I am Nekels, leader of the Royal Knights of the Kingdom of Droughton.”

Raymond opened his eyes wide. ‘The leader of the Royal Knights?’

Royal Knights!

It means the Knights defending the king.

‘But this is my first time hearing the name Nekels? No, apart from that, were there any Royal Knights left in the Kingdom of Droughton?”

The first thing Grand Duke Berard did after taking over the government was to purge the Royal Knights, which would be a source of trouble.

Looking around, it seemed that only some of the young knights remained and were following the young king.

“But what’s going on?”

“Please save His Royal Highness!”

“......What?”

Raymond had an absurd look.

‘What’s this about?’

However, his face hardened as he heard the knight’s next words.

“The demon Berard has spread a terrible disease to His Majesty the King! You must come visit him because he is suffering from a high fever and is dying!”

“.....!”

Raymond found out what was going on.

Berard did something demonic again.

‘Please, save your Highness! With the name of Droughton Kingdom, I will never forget this grace!’

Raymond looked troubled.

‘What should I do?’

He now realizes that this choice is a very important branch.

‘If I save the king, maybe I can end the war with that.’

He has been robbed of all power by Grand Duke Berard, but no matter what anyone says, he is the legitimate king of the Kingdom of Droughton.

If the king was rescued and obtained, it was possible to declare Grand Duke Berard a traitor.

Then, Grand Duke BErard will collapse from inside and outside. Thus, the war will end.

‘·...But it’s too dangerous.’

The Winter Palace was in the southernmost part of the kingdom of Droughton. It was further than the capital.

Raymond has to secretly run that distance away from the eyes of the Droughton Kingdom. If he is caught in the middle, he is doomed.

‘And it could be a trap to get me. How can I trust what this person is saying?’

Raymond assumed the worst.

‘I couldn’t choose easily.’

Do you take risks and take the best credit for ending the war, or choose a safe path?

‘Ugh. I don’t like being in danger.’

He was agonizing for a long time when another sudden guest came.

“We are in trouble, Master! The rascal is here!” it was Lindon.

“Rascal?”

“Prince Seytil!”

Raymond opened his eyes wide.

‘Seytil?’

It was true. Soon Seytil appeared.

He was leading 200 cavalry.

“Your Royal Highness, Prince Seytil.”

Seytil stared at Raymond for a long time without answering.

Then he told an absurd story.

“We are going to raid the capital of the Kingdom of Droughton now.”

There were many times when I felt frustrated when he tried too much. Is it like watching a sweet potato working hard?

“That’s enough. Don’t worry about it, just focus on protecting the castle. You are a relief knight”

“Yes, Master!”

But the next day.

An urgent warning flew in.

It was distressing news that Seytil, who was riding a horse in a hurry, fell down a rough slope and went missing.

***

If you go south from Bioton Castle, you will come across a mountain.

There are many rough places as if the topography has been cut like a cliff, so it is a place where you can roll down at the slightest chance.

While Seytil was forced to march through such rough terrain, he took a wrong step, fell, and disappeared into the forest below.

But in the forest where Seytil went missing.

An incredible sight was unfolding.

“Are you alright, Your Royal Highness?”

“Of course I am fine. Do you think this sword genius has been hurt by only a little rolling?”

Seytil was moving around in a distant manner!

“I’m sure the news came to Bioton Castle.”

“Yes, Your Highness. Raymond, he will come to the rescue himself.”

“We wait here, and when he appears, we hit his neck.”

It was an amazing story.

It means that this distress was a play to conjure up Raymond!

Seytil thought ferociously.

‘This must have been my greatest prank so far. I’ll kill you this time.’

He hated Raymond from the beginning.

A lowly illegitimate kid with a lot of arrogance. He could never forgive him.

This time he’s going to kill Raymond.

“It’s a remote place, so if he kills him, there’s no way for him to survive it.”

He purposely crawled into the remote forest.

It was to kill Raymond to avoid the eyes of others.

After killing him, he can destroy his body to the monster. Then it was the complete perfect murder.

“Come on in, you punk.”

However, there were two errors in Seytil’s plans.

First.

This is the habitat of monsters.

Of course, Seytil knew there were monsters here. But he didn’t know how many there were.

It was a foreign territory, so it was inevitable due to the limitations of information.

Unfortunately for him, this place was home to a large number of monsters.

While he is laughing, monsters appeared and Seytil snorted.

“Those low-level monsters. With my sword skills, I only need to hit them one time.”

That’s how he handled the monsters lightly. The surroundings were covered with blood from monsters.

Until then, Seytil was lighthearted.

‘I can just warm up before Raymond comes.’

And the second mistake.

This was more fatal.

Raymond didn’t come to the rescue.

He was busy treating critically ill patients.

***

“What?”

Raymond frowned.

‘But I have to treat patients.’

The timing was just amazing.

The few remaining nearby Droughton soldiers attacked their troops, resulting in several injuries.

All are critically ill, fighting for time, and if he goes to save Seytil, they will all die.

‘But I can’t leave the prince as he is. Why is this bloody thing in distress now? ’

Raymond put on a troubled face.

‘I can’t let all of these people die.’

Then, Elmud came up with an unexpected solution.

“I’ll rescue Your Majesty Seytil.”

“What?”

Elmud said with a determined face.

“I’m a relief knight. I’ll protect the life of a patient in distress.”

It was a good solution thatw asn’t sweet potato-like!

So Raymond focused on the patient, and Elmud went to the rescue of Seytil.
