Chapter 32-1

Sion responds without hesitation and looks at Brandis.

However, before Brandis can say anything, a voice bursts out from the other side.

You! How dare you speak like that in front of Her Majesty the King? Apologize right now

Thats enough.

Your Majesty! This is a serious offense

That will do. Dont you think we should hear more?

Under Brandis command, Glenone reluctantly backs off and glares at Sion.

Any human residing in the kingdom of Alain had to obey the Kings orders.

Of course, there might be individual circumstances, but even those were meaningless in front of the ruler of Alain.

Youre quite bold. Did you ask for my permission just now?

Yes, Your Majesty. You are the most magnificent and dignified person, but you are also a human living in this country. I thought you would understand my situation since you are the same as me.

Hahaha! Am I the same as you, a human? Thats a funny thing to say.

Glenone tries to speak up again, but Brandis gives her a look.

She had no choice but to contain her dissatisfaction with great difficulty.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

You, as a human being, govern and live in this country. Just as you have a reason to live, I too have a reason. I have something to protect, and I imagine you do too, dont you?

As you said, I also have something to protect. However, wouldnt it be more important for me to protect what I have to protect, rather than what you have to protect?

Its as you said, I also have something to protect. But arent the things I have to protect more important than you?

Thats a fair point. Thats why Im seeking your permission. Even if Im not there, you can always protect as you have done so far, but if Im gone, I can no longer protect my fianc. My fianc only has eyes for me, so how can I turn away from that heart?

Sion continued speaking with a sense of pressure.

If he used just one wrong word here, Brandis could have found an opening to exploit.

He had to carefully lead Brandis to sympathize with his words.

Brandis remembers the fact she had forgotten until now.

Hanette Adelaira, the daughter of the Duke, was known as a rogue beauty and had recently held an engagement ceremony with the Marquiss son.

Although she had been interested in that relationship, she had only considered the engagement as a means of strategic marriage.

Hmm Is that so? The Royal Knights Commander shall receive the Kings command.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Bring Hanette Adelaide before me right now. I will ask for permission myself.

What is the Royal Knights Commander doing! Are you refusing to follow the Kings command?

Y-Your Majesty, I am honored to receive your command.

Glenone was also taken aback by the order, but she had no choice but to follow it unconditionally.

For her, the Kings command was more important than anything else.

Wait in the Reception Hall. I will speak to your fiance separately.

I will honor your command, Your Majesty.

Sion bows his head in resignation.

Things have become even more complicated than he expected.

Although he had spoken in advance, there had been no plan for Hanette to meet the King in person.

The situation has become too big.

Sion left the palace with a complicated mind that he could barely grasp.

From now on, there was nothing he could do.

Only Hanette could solve this problem.

I have no choice but to trust Hanette.
