Chapter 173.2

Chapter 173.2

At that moment, Isaac thought of the Nameless Chaos.

Chaos that breaks all order and seeps through.

Isaac began to exert force in his left hand.

Tentacles slowly started to emerge, piercing through his palm.

As Isaac struggled to break his bonds, the Green Knight continued the judgment.

“Yes, I am aware,” Rosalind managed to answer when finally allowed to speak.

“Do you know that the king of Elil is granted the use of my power as the foremost disciple of Elil?”

“Would that make my grievance unjustified?”

Rosalind shot back at the angel with blood running from her bitten lip.

“If that is a problem, then kill me right here. Throw me to the dogs on the battlefield overseen by Elil. Even if trampled by warhorses, I will not cease to bark.”

Whether it was a seventy-year-old man, blind, or armless, it didn’t matter. Followers of Elil are warriors both before death and beyond.

Rosalind had no intention of giving up. She was a disciple of Elil.

That was both the beginning and the end of all tragedy.

At Rosalind’s words, the Green Knight remained silent for a moment before speaking.

“You are a warrior.”

The Green Knight turned his head to look at Edelred.

“I do not favor petitioners. They remind me of whining children who run to their gods to tattle instead of overcoming their own problems.”

Suddenly, he was holding Kaldbruch.

“However, I acknowledge you as a warrior and will accept your petition.”Upttodated from n(0)/velbIn/.(co/m

This meant he recognized her as a petitioner at the very least. Rosalind barely breathed a sigh of relief, wiping away the cold sweat. The Green Knight then approached Edelred.

‘This is not good.’

The Green Knight rustled as he continued to scrutinize Edelred.

“O aggrieved one, accused of the sins of a former king unjustly. Elil does not acknowledge the inheritance of a parent’s sins to their child. However, the position of king represents not just a personal parent-child relationship but all citizens and knights. You cannot escape responsibility.”

The Green Knight turned slowly back to Rosalind.

“The king must be responsible for the petitioner’s plea. However, the petitioner must also bear responsibility for driving an innocent child to death.”

Thud. The Green Knight struck Kaldbruch against the floor as he declared.

“Both shall die honorably through execution. This is the decision of Elil’s representative.”

An odd emotion, whether hope or despair, surged across Rosalind’s face. It wasn’t an emotion born from the fear of losing life. It was rather a feeling of being freed from all of this.

Whatever the outcome.

She intended to accept it with a choked voice.

“No, that’s not it.”

Then, Edelred spoke, sobbing.

“The faults of the subjects are the king’s lack of virtue. Why do you seek to pass the responsibility that the king should bear to the subjects as well? This is not the will of Elil.”

Edelred staggered, then knelt and collapsed in front of the Green Knight again.

“Please end this tragedy with one responsibility. I am prepared.”

It wasn’t mere lip service. The Green Knight had seen through everything about Edelred, his unbecoming attitude and disrespectful heart as a disciple of Elil.

Yet Edelred spoke sincerely.

Edelred’s words caused the Green Knight to slowly bend down.

“The world is not so soft, O king.”
