Chapter 128: Teacher

“Thank you very much, everyone.”

His Highness Willy bowed when he said so.

Diagonally behind him, Rodrigo was also bowing.

“No no, I’m glad we were able to arrive safely.”

“We were just fulfilling the request. Your Highness, please raise your head.”

Cohn felt awkward and Ryo replied in a hurry.

They were in front of the royal palace of the Kingdom of Knightley.

Volunteers of the Court Magic Group who escorted them had already disbanded and left to the royal palace.

Matthew and Luca also thanked the four and left for the Treasury, with an army escort appearing out of nowhere.

Finally, the escort adventurers, including Ryo, were bidding farewell to His Highness Willy and Rodrigo.

“Ryo-san, I have a final request!”

“Yes, Your Highness?”

His Highness Willy had never made any request to Ryo and Ryo lightly asked.Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates

“Can I call Ryo-san 『Mentor』 from now on?”

“I’m sorry, please don’t do that ...”

“I see ... Then, I’ll leave it as 『Teacher』.”

“Eh......”

Feeling very disappointed, His Highness Willy compromised with 『Teacher』.

Yes, compromised ... although Ryo didn’t find it to be a compromise at all.

The two then went into the royal castle to report their arrival.

“Now, we’re going to the Adventurer’s Guild, but what about Ryo?”

Cohn, Ryo, and the other adventurers were left.

Cohn and the others were going to the Adventurer’s Guild. Thereafter, it seemed that this temporary party would be disbanded.

Even though it was Ryo’s first time in the royal capital, he didn’t have anywhere to go urgently.

At most, he had to pop by and meet Advisor Arthur who told him to do so later.

Therefore, he tried to follow Cohn and the others but ... he heard a familiar voice from a group walking out from the royal palace.

“Ryo?”

And for some reason, Ryo suffered from a feeling of defeat.

In the middle of such an exchange, Ryo didn’t realize that Cohn and the others had left, saying, ‘W-we’re going.’

“So, Luca has escaped to the Treasury, Sica is missing, and the unshackled Finance Minister is likely to change sides. In addition, there is a glimmer of Ilarion’s shadow behind them ...”

It was the residence of the Duke of Flitwick in the royal capital.

In the office, two men were talking.

One person with a thin body who wore a monocle spoke while reading the report.

The other had a medium build but looked like a person with a somewhat eerie atmosphere and didn’t look like he belonged in a Duke’s residence.

“And the man who connects them is this guy called Abel?”

“Yes. It seemed that he was sniffing around the Knight-Captain too.”

Abel had already been noticed not only by Sica but also by the Duke’s subordinates.

In the first place, Abel was mainly an active adventure and not adept in espionage ... so it couldn’t be helped.

“Where is Ilarion now?”

“Yesterday, there was a report that he left the royal capital and headed east on the second highway.”

“Is this an opportunity to get rid of this Abel?”

The monocle man thought a little.

Even if he tried to dispose of him, there was also information that he seemed to be quite skillful.

Sending a half-hearted assassination attempt may cause the tables to turn.

“If we want to take him down for sure ... we should use them.”

“Yes, we have already prepared it.”

“Wow ... as expected. So how will you do it?”

“We can use Gordon, Bellrock, and Roman. Gordon alone should be fine, but the other two are insurance.”

“Okay. Get rid of him before Ilarion returns.”

“Yes.”

Then the creepy man left the office.

The monocle man who remained in the room smiled and muttered.

“Attacked by Heroes ...”
