There was no one else in the throne room.

Only King Siegmund sat on the throne.

He showed no sign of being agitated by the occupation of his palace, and was even smiling.

The madness of the tyrant, the downfall of his dynasty, did not seem to faze him.

“Keke.... Kekehkeh!”

Siegmund cackled as soon as he saw Camille.

Camille wondered what was so funny....

“Amazing, how amazing. Keke.... Kekehkeh!”

“......”

“I knew this day would come, but I never thought it would be you who would come for my head. Isn’t it amazing, Camille?”

It was certainly a remarkable twist of fate.

No matter how entangled they were by their past enmity, it was no exaggeration to say that Camille had no chance of killing Siegmund.

No one expected Camille, a knight from a small rural estate, to be the one to come for Siegmund’s head.

Not even Camille himself.

“How does it feel? Coming for the head of your old master?”

Camille didn’t answer.

*Skrrr!*

Instead, he unsheathed his sword and pointed it at Siegmund.

“I was never your knight, Siegmund. I merely served as your apprentice knight for a year.”

“Kekeke! Are you denying our bond?”

Siegmund snickered.

“You’re the one who saved me, and thanks to that, I ended up on this cursed throne. Are you saying you weren’t my knight?”

Camille did not answer yet again.

His time in Siegmund’s service was the most regrettable time of his life.

Trying to engage him in conversation would only disrupt his composure.

“Draw your sword.”

Camille spoke to Siegmund.

“As boring as ever, you are.”

Siegmund rose from his throne and slowly drew his greatsword.

“Do you have to be so uptight, even at this touching moment?”

“....”

“Well, I guess it doesn’t matter. It can’t hurt to have you as a companion on the final stretch of my life.”

*Thump*

Siegmund descended the stairs and raised his greatsword with a sneer.

“I hope you’ll entertain me at least a little, Camille.”

At the same time, Siegmund swung his greatsword.

*Swooosh!*

A powerful blast of sword wind swept over Camille.

Thus began the final duel between the former master and servant, each risking their very lives.

Siegmund’s strength was beyond imagination.

Despite having indulged in years of tyranny and hedonism, Siegmund, who was born with genius swordsmanship skills, still overwhelmed Camille.

Thus, Camille was unable to launch a proper offensive for a while, being pushed back unilaterally and driven into a corner.

At one point.

“You’ve gotten stronger at least.”

Siegmund’s greatsword slammed into Camille.

“Kahhhh!”

Camille spat up blood and fell to the ground.

“You know you can’t defeat me, no matter how much you resist, right?”

“Cough!”

“Surely you won’t make it boring until the end, will you? Camille?”

Siegmund frowned while looking at Camille.

“...I’m not here for your amusement.”

Camille pushed himself to his feet.

*Crackle!*

*Crackle!*

Sparks began to shoot from Camille’s sword.

Light Speed Sword.

One of the Kuntachi family’s arcane sword techniques, it was said that when one reached a high level of mastery, they could virtually equal the speed of light.

“I... have come to clear my past karma.”

“Hmph! You mean the karma that put me on the throne?”

“By eliminating you... I will surely wipe clean my previous actions.”

A second later.

*BANG!*

Camille disappeared from Siegmund’s sight.

“.....!”

Siegmund was surprised.

*Spark!*

Camille, who had suddenly appeared in front of him, slashed his sword at Siegmund.

*Splatter!*

Blood gushed out of Siegmund’s chest.

A sword that may lose in strength, but certainly not in speed.

That was Camille’s sword, a speed of light sword.

‘I can see it.’

Camille’s eyes caught Siegmund’s shortcomings.

There was no time to think.

Camille swung his sword as he had honed it, following the motion of the light speed sword.

“You bug.”

Siegmund attempted a desperate counterattack, but defending against Camille’s onslaught was impossible.

Camille’s swordsmanship was in full bloom, a realization that had been gaining ground over the years of rigorous training.

The effects of his subconscious training were beginning to show in this life-and-death duel.

As a result,

*Swiish!*

Camille’s sword shot out like a beam of light, aimed at Siegmund.

Camille wanted to scream, but he couldn’t for one reason.

‘Ugh.’

He couldn’t get the words out because he was trying to hold the jelly in his mouth without chewing.

“Well then, chew it.”

“.....”

“What? If you don’t chew, I’m going to....”

*Gulp!*

Camille couldn’t bring himself to chew the jelly, so he just swallowed it down his throat.

The horrible texture and odor were too much for him to bear.

“Tsk.”

Otto pouted in disapproval when he saw that Camille had gulped down the jelly.

“You’re just swallowing it down again.”

“....”

“I gave it to you with the best of intentions, that precious thing.”

With that, Otto grumbled, then turned to Camille.

“Now go.”

“Where do you want me to go?”

“Isabel.”

“....!”

“Don’t you miss her?”

Otto asked, referring to Isabel, Camille’s former lover and now the queen of the Kingdom of Slaine.

“I’m....”

Camille shook her head.

“I don’t deserve to see her, nor do I have the confidence.”

“What?”

Otto frowned.

“What choice did you have then, my dear brother?”

“.....”

“It was out of your control, though.”

“That’s true.”

“If you understand, go and apologize. Tell her you’re really sorry for back then, that you seek her forgiveness now, and that you’re glad you can see her again, even if it’s late.”

Otto advised Camille.

“Whether you start over or not is a matter for later. For now, just apologize, even if it’s late.”

“Still... does it work?”

“Eh.”

Otto rolled his eyes.

“If you’re going to do that, get the hell out of here! Move!”

“.....”

“Don’t you have the courage for that? You have the courage to fight to the death but not with this?”

Camille considered Otto’s words for a moment, then nodded in understanding.

“Alright.”

Camille took a step forward.

“I’ll... meet her... then.”

“Okay.”

Otto waved his hand at Camille.

“Have a good time~”

“....”

“What does it matter if it’s late? As long as you two are happy now.”

Otto’s expression was full of conviction as he said that.

‘Eh. He’s going to be a married man, Tsk.’

Otto knew the future of Camille and Queen Isabelle all too well.

In his experience, there was a one hundred percent chance that Camille and Isabel would marry.

Even....

‘I can’t believe I’m going to be an uncle so soon. Ugh. I can’t believe I’m an uncle. I’ll have a nephew.’

A baby was also due to be born between Camille and Isabelle.

In other words, the conquest of the Slaine Kingdom was a turning point in Camille’s life.

This incident not only settled past grievances but also reunited old lovers, leading to a happiness that includes seeing a child who wouldn’t hurt to have in one’s eyes.

Of course, since the game and real life are different, there are no 100% guarantees.

But just in the unlikely event.

Camille dared not enter the room where Isabel was.

Hesitantly.

Unable to get his bearings, he paused at the door.

“......”

“......”

“......”

The knights guarding the door were silent, not knowing what to do.

They knew Camille.

Camille knew them.

They knew each other, so the atmosphere was very awkward.

There was no way a fight was going to break out anyway, given the tide of battle, but it might as well as have.

Then.

*Rattle!*

The door opened.

*Step!*

Camille stumbled back, startled.

*Thump!* *Thump!* *Thump!*

Camille’s heart pounded in his chest as if it would explode at any moment.

“How dare you step foot in here.”

The person who opened the door was none other than Isabel.
