Chapter 5

Before long, a well-dressedtowards Kurats He was likely a knight of the royal palace

【”He’s huge…”】

Said the knight with a click of his tongue as he saw Kurats’ big body

He was planning to make Kurats hop on the horse’s backside and then return to the castle, but he was now realizing that if he did that, the horse would surely end up be being crushed and injured under Kurats’ weight There was no such thing as a knight ould not worry about his personal horse Moreover, if his horse was rendered useless due to an injury, he would have no other choice than to kill it

【”If you don’t mind, I’d like to follow after you…”】

【”Then I’ll take you at your word, we have to go to the castle as fast as possible!”】

Kurats braced hi to be introduced to a quite high-ranked person

【”I accept, of course But I prefer running rather than going on horse, it’ll be faster that way”】

“―― What did he just say?” Those were the exact words that went through the knight’s mind

However, Kurats did not have the tiless to start arguing with him

【”Let’s hurry up Won’t you anger your superiors if you take too much time?”】

【”J-just know that If you’re lying about your capabilities, you won’t get aith it!”】

While still half in doubt, the knight jumped on his horse

He then started galloping at a steady pace, but when he looked back, Kurats was behind hi after the horse with a nonchalant expression on his face

【”It’s fine, go as fast as you can, you don’t have to hold your horse back for me”】

【”I, I know!”】

The knight hurried up, going even faster, but even so, Kurats was still sprinting right behind hie in his expression

Witnessing that surreal scene, the hero Martin, who had stayed in the guild’s quarters, muttered in amazement

【”Can es run faster than horses nowadays…?”】

(―― It seeic on hi it)

Bernst accurately analyzed Kurats’ abnormal stamina

Kurats had probably been unconsciously using body strengthening ranting himself these physical abilities that were far beyond normal humans

Perhaps Kurats’ high talent for ic had reacted to his desires and had affected his body, albeit not perfectly

“Seriously, and yet he’s so bad with the other types of ic Well, these types of physical capabilities aren’t worthless, but they don’t fit a h” Thought Bernst in displeasure

Without realizing what Bernst was thinking, Kurats pleasantly kept running at the sa at full speed

For quite a while after these events, there were ru at the same speed as a horse

Once the two ate, Kurats was entrusted to another knight, who directly guided hi him any time to rest

【”…Hisis the one ill question you You must not be careless with your words”】

【”I’ll bear that in mind”】

Kurats would have never expected that the king hi for him, but he would have had to oal

Kurats took a deep breath, and opened the huge door in front of him

【”I, Kurats Hans Almadianos, am honored to be in the presence of his majesty, and even more honored to have been called by you”】

【”Good, you’ve come”】

King Christopher Heinz Von Jorand looked down at Kurats with a deep wrinkle in his brow

【”You are the e who is here to cure Lunaria?”】

As he gazed at Kurats to assess hi’s eyes were full of a bitterness that was not fitting of the leader of a country

He hter, he was nothing more than a father

The king’s expression was equally divided between hope and a deep anguish, and after he fixed his eyes on Kurats for a little while, his disappointhtly take over

【”How old are you?”】

【”I am 18 this year”】

【”Who in the world did you study under?”】

【”I was taught everything by my mother…”】

【”What is your mother’s name?”】

【”It is Frigg Hans Almadianos, your majesty”】

【”―― I’ve never heard of her”】

This week, Lunaria’s condition had been rapidly deteriorating

The royal palace’s court doctor had bitterly diagnosed that she would not survive for more than a month

Nevertheless, the king still wondered, was it really fine to entrust his daughter to some unknown 18 year old boy?

【”Are you prepared to deal with the consequences in case Lunaria dies at your hands?”】

“He’s deeplythe bla happens No matter the method of execution, I won’t let hi

Although Christopher knew that this was unreasonable of him, he was still determined to do it

It was perfectly fine to be unreasonable for those who had power Those were the rules governing this wicked world

【”Naturally, your majesty… However, if I successfully cure her, then I’ll have a certain request, if I may be so bold”】

The king barely gave a passing nified and confident than he had thought
