After being sent off by the Frontier Knights, we returned to the royal palace again after four days of traveling, and at around 3:00 pm, we reported our return to His Majesty King Leroy in the audience room.
“Lilith, members of the Royal Monster Subjugation Unit, Crane, Mai, the task of ending the epidemic and subjugating monsters was a great cause. I received a letter of appreciation from Margrave Henkel. Lilith, receiving a pledge of allegiance from the Frontier Knights is synonymous with being recognized as royalty. You should be confident.”
“Yes.”
His Majesty King Leroy gave me a calm expression. However, when he looked over everyone, his expression changed to a stern expression.
“However, there are other problems that must be solved. The epidemic is still raging, and in the past few days, the people living in the royal capital have become beasts, and the functions of the town have begun to decline. As you know, monsters are sensitive to weak prey. The number of monsters that rush into the capital from the nearby forests to target the beastified people is increasing, and currently, the Royal Subjugation Unit and low-ranking knights in the capital are subjugating them. But we are short of hands.”
While we went to the frontier, the epidemic spread further in the royal capital, and it seems that the situation has become serious.
“Therefore, I would like Lilith and Crane to make a treatment plan in a separate room and devote themselves to the treatment of the infectious disease patients in the royal capital. The escort when going to the site will be the second unit of the royal knight order. The first unit, along with the low-ranking knights, will continue to carry out monster subjugation missions.”
“””Yes.”””
The decree came down again.
Dr. Crane and I were guided to a separate room by Sanse and Schnaiser, who belonged to the second unit of the Royal Knights, who came during the audience to hear about the detailed situation in the royal capital, to formulate a treatment plan.
In order to form a plan, the Royal Subjugation Unit led by Gresis headed to the knight building in the royal palace.
His Highness Gresis, walking swiftly with the knights in tow, overtook us.
At that time, His Highness Gresis’s hand gently touched my shoulder.
“See you later.”
My heart was captivated by the gap between his cool demeanor and his sweet smile.
Another short chapter. Because of this, I have decided to change the update schedule, and will now be posting 5 chapters a week. The current schedule (in my time zone) is Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. Starting next week, it will be Monday through Thursday and Saturday.
