Chapter 917: Easily finished



After the gates opened, there were people that were standing there waiting for us.

These weren't the nobles that acted as ministers for the kingdom.

Rather, these were the servants and guards that worked in the castle.

The moment that they opened the door, they all bowed to the second prince who was leading our group.

The way that they acted around him made it clear that they all respected him and treated him as their superior. It was clear that they didn't care at all about the king that was still in the throne room of this castle.

The head butler of the castle came forward with his head bowed and said, "Your highness, we have all been waiting for your arrival. The traitor is currently waiting for you in the throne room along with his conspirators. They have no idea what is happening outside of their banquet."

I couldn't help slightly knitting my brows when I heard this.

It was indeed around time for lunch, but I never thought that those people would be holding a banquet instead of discussing what to do about the second prince's coup.

It seemed like they really were completely useless, unlike the second prince...

Or it could be that this was just a trap for me, so I stopped thinking about this and focused on the situation at hand.

The second prince gave a calm nod before saying to the royal guards, "Prepare to arrest them."

The royal guards nodded in agreement before heading off.

The ones that were here were only the captains of the squads, the individual members of the royal guards were still scattered around the castle to resemble the semblance of normality.

These captains headed off to gather their subordinates to surround the ones that were currently in the throne room.

After he gave the orders to the royal guards, the second prince turned back to me and invited me to go in with him again, "Your majesty, please follow me. I'll settle this matter now."

Though that wasn't strange with the reputation that the second prince had.

Or at least that was the reputation that he had in the game.

I wasn't certain if he had the same reputation in this world that was based on the game.

The second prince just casually nodded at those royal guards before heading into the throne room.

The royal guards didn't even try stopping us even though it was clear that we were a completely different group. It seemed that they had this much trust in the second prince that they didn't question anything that he did.

Once we entered the throne room, that was when our group was really surprised.

That was because on the ground of the throne room were a bunch of caterpillars...

No, it was a bunch of nobles who were completely tied up in rope. At the same time, it seemed

like their faces were completely swollen from having been hit by something.

With how swollen it was, it seemed that they had received quite the beating before they were tied up.

But it didn't seem like the nobles put up much of a resistance as none of the royal guards had a single bruise.

That wasn't the most shocking thing as in front of the throne was a royal caterpillar.

No, it was the king who still had the crown on his head that had also been tied up like the rest

of the nobles. His face was also swollen showing that he had received a beating as well.

Once the second prince came in, he immediately became the center of attention as everyone turned to look at him.

They just completely ignored us who came in with him.

The tied up king narrowed his eyes to look at the second prince before saying, "So you've finally made your move."
