Chapter 709

Episode 709 Unanswered Kingdom (2)

The guards who moved nonstop through the night were able to safely cross the border and arrive at the Royal Capital of Gleiman.

“...You’ve finally arrived.”

As Soyeong murmured as if feeling new, Zeke nodded.

“It has been a long journey.”

“Where will the Holy Son be?”

“Your lord is the owner of the principality. He’s probably living in the annex as an honored guest.”

At his words, Soyoung brought her index finger to her lips.

“hmm. Then we should report to the capital and get a temporary residence permit.”

I looked at Hongyoung while talking.

The answer came back from her as if it were natural.

“The significance of our existence is to stand by the Holy Son.”

“Is that why you were always by my side? When the saint changes clothes or takes a bath...” ”

...”

“Why are your cheeks red?”

“...not blushed.”

Hongyoung turned her head.

I said it as a joke, but the reaction is strange.

Come to think of it, she gave off a sweet scent that she hadn’t smelled before.

“...Hongyeong, by any chance, when you stopped by the village... did you buy a sachet?”

When I asked cautiously, he now completely turned his back on me.

Wow, this is unexpected!

So-yeong, who changed into a mischievous expression, smiled and hugged her from behind.

“Why is my daughter so cute!”

“...Stop talking nonsense and let’s go to the castle.”

Was it embarrassing?

Hongyoung melted into the air and disappeared.

* * *

Arriving at the castle, they safely completed their temporary residency application.

In the first place, since he was an aide to the king, permission fell faster than expected.

Zeke stretched.

“Now all that remains is to find the Holy Son.”

“Here.”

“huh?”

Soyoung pointed to one spot without hesitation.

A battle that looks gigantic at first glance.

It was none other than the palace where the king resided.

Zeke asked suspiciously.

“...how do you know that?”

To that, Soyoung replied indifferently.

“Because the smell of thyme that was sprinkled on the Holy Son is coming from here.”

‘Am I right?’ Looking at the receivers, they also nodded.

It all seemed like a natural reaction.

The only person with goosebumps behind him was Zeke alone.

“Since the saint is so active, it is usually difficult to follow him around.”

No matter how much it was, did you usually put tracking incense on the person you served?

Zeke was stunned by the answer that deviated from common sense.

whether he is lost or not.

Hongyoung calmly adjusted her clothes.

“Let’s wait for the Holy Son to come out.”

Half excited, half nervous.

That time when I quietly waited outside.

Kwaaaang-!

A loud noise echoed through the building.

The eyes of the receptionist became sharp at once.

They listened quietly to the sounds coming from inside.

The atmosphere cooled down.

The nobles reacted coldly under the podium with deep handprints.

The time when the royal knights were slowly moving to restrain them.

Klein said coldly to the audience.

“Stop it.”

The voice loaded with mana seemed young to the point of being alive.

The atmosphere, reminiscent of thin ice, made the nobles as well as the knights under his command nervous.

With a clear expression of disappointment, he quietly shook his head.

“Everyone is doing too much. He wanted to fight for us. But I can’t help you, but you’re cursing behind your back. I will not be able to see this plaque any longer.”

Klein drew his sword from his waistband.

Sreureung-!

With a cool friction sound, the drawn sword was inserted into the floor.

The sword dug into the marble like tofu, and emitted a terrifying aura.

“If you want to insult him, you’ll have to deal with me first.”

A terrifying force emanated from all around him.

The nobles nearby took a few steps back without even realizing it.

The first knight commander of the royal family had moved to this extent.

If you put it on wrong, you can’t even pick out the bones.

The lower-ranking nobles lowered their tails on their own.

“It was too much to say.”

“I’m sorry. In the future, I will take care of myself.”

However, not all nobles were like that.

The Marquis of Veron, who had the main nobles of the capital on his back, frowned.

“Is the captain threatening us now?”

“Did you hear it as a threat? Then it might be right.”

Whoa-!

The sword stuck in the ground vomited a resonant sound as if responding to him.

However, Marquis Veron did not back down.

Rather, he speaks with a raised voice than before.

“Is this the meaning of the Royal Knight Commander? Is it really your will to threaten the nobles of your own country?”

“marquis. I just expressed my wish that he would no longer be insulted.”

“It is certainly not right to reveal it in the form of blackmail.”

“In that case, I would rather ask the reverse. Are you saying that persecuting opponents face-to-face is what you think of as Greyman’s manners?”

“....”

The Marquis of Veron shut his mouth at Klein’s words that stabbed the core.

Shaking his body, he spoke with strength, one word at a time.

“...The captain will definitely regret today.”

“As the Marquis said, I will regret it forever today. But that is to reproach yourself for not catching the princess until the very end.”

“...you’ll find out later.”

The Marquis of Veron glared at him once and then left.

As he left the lobby, the aristocrats who had been paying attention also began to leave as if they were running away one by one.

Eventually, less than a minute passed and no one was left in the lobby.

The royal knights said as if they were worried.

“Are you really okay, Captain?”

“The Marquis of Veron is a powerful family even in the royal capital. If you get it wrong, it will be difficult in the future.”

Klein smiled at the concerns of his subordinate knights.

“Who will say anything to me?”

Confidence to the point of being arrogant.

But he was a man with enough confidence.

A level that can be said to have put one foot in the sword master.

Klein is one of the best knights in the Kingdom of Gleiman.

It wasn’t a being that could be kicked out just because he was kicked out of the royal family.

The knights smiled at him.

“I need to know one thing.”

“As you can see, the police report will increase again. I will not write for you this time.”

The knights who said that quietly thought to themselves.

Unlike themselves who couldn’t move until the end, the captain moved even though he knew that he would confront the nobles.

At the same time as feeling ashamed of himself as a knight, respect for the leader arose.

The gaze of the royal knights looking at Klein became more intense than before.

When they are ripening in a good mood.

Outside, those who watched the current situation were quietly raising their intentions to kill.
