“Your Majesty, you are right about the principle. However, if you wish to show benevolence as a true sovereign, it would be better to exercise mercy.”

Logan’s previously exasperated gaze suddenly turned towards the Sword Duke.

“Sword Duke, what do you mean by that?”

The king’s expression hardened, as if he had been betrayed by someone he trusted.

‘My master?’

Logan was equally baffled.

Nonetheless, the Sword Duke continued calmly.

“The rebellion has just been quelled. I worry that applying the law too harshly now might lead to further turmoil.”

“Punishing the rebels brings turmoil? What a preposterous notion.”

Despite his rage, the king’s face darkened coldly, but the Sword Duke’s expression did not waver.

“Though the law is sacred, it should be applied to the right targets to be deemed valuable. I urge you to exercise mercy, Your Majesty.”

“I only said what needed to be said.”

“It wasn’t to take my side?”

“Those are merely remnants of a war that has ended. I thought imposing heavy punishment in these circumstances would not be good for His Majesty either.”

“I thought you were trying to stop me.”

“There is that as well.”

To Logan’s surprise, the Sword Duke nodded in agreement.

Then he said,

“This time I did take your side, but is there a need to be at odds with His Majesty? Couldn’t you humble yourself just a bit more?”

“How much should I submit?”

“What?”
