Lucia Chapter 50 [part 2]
(5)
TN: I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned it but things in brackets like this: [], are conversations from the past. Brackets like this: () just tells you who is speaking.
The aide assumed a solemn expression as he spoke.
“Your Highness, Crown Prince, Marquis of DeLing sent an official letter of complaint.”
Kwiz clicked his tongue and skimmed through the document handed to him. In conclusion, the long letter of complaint that went on and on for pages was requesting permission to punish the Knight Krotin who insulted the honor of the Marquis.
A while ago, Knights of Deling jumped Roy and were beaten half-dead so they couldn’t move for several months.
“Why do these filthy bastards that attack in groups have so much to say? Is it still a proper knight if it jumps a single opponent with numbers?”
The aide still couldn’t adapt to the Crowned Prince spitting out the vulgar jargon of the common people every time it happened.
The aide controlled his expression and continued speaking.
“It is not the duel itself they have an issue with, but Sir Krotin’s remarks.”
“I’m sure what they want to deal with isn’t Sir Krotin.”
Marquis of DeLing was one of the representative figures of the opposing forces against the Crown Prince. If opposing side could use this matter to remove the Knight Krotin from the Crown Prince’s side, there were many things to gain from it.
They could make a crack in the authority of the Crown Prince who was unable to protect his escort Knight, they could aim for a gap in the Crown Prince’s defenses after he lost a remarkably skilled escort and because the Crown Prince was unable to safeguard the escort handed to him by the Taran Duke, they could make a crack form in the two’s relationship.
Kwiz turned his gaze to Roy standing next to him.
Even though Roy obviously knew they were talking about him, his expression didn’t change as if he wasn’t hearing anything. Sometimes, the aide felt the desire to beat up Roy’s brazen face.
“Sir Krotin. Don’t say anything after beating those knights. Good going there. It isn’t like you killed them yet those jumping bastards have the nerve. But, why did you say that?” (Kwiz)
“Say what?” (Roy)
“It is said you called the knights, dogs of the Marquis.”
“I didn’t say that. I said dogs licking their master’s feet.”
Kwiz groaned.
“That is virtually the same thing. Isn’t that why the Knight of the DeLing Marquis jumped you? Saying you insulted the Marquis.”
“I don’t know why that is insulting. I simply spoke the truth. A Knight is their master’s dog. Like a dog, all one have to do is wag their tail to their master and listen nicely. I only said my mind since they were going around picking fights with uninvolved people.”
Not only the Crown Prince, but everyone around was taken aback.
“A knight is their master’s dog? Does Sir Krotin think so of yourself?” (Kwiz)
“Oh yes. I am my Lord’s dog. If he asks me to bark, I bark. Woof-woof.”
Kwiz burst out laughing. He grabbed his stomach and smacked the table as he laughed. However the expression of the other escorting knights besides Roy were distorted and they fixed Roy with murderous gazes.
After laughing till tears came to his eyes, Kwiz took a while to calm down then spoke to his aide.
“Did you hear that? Write it well that Sir Krotin did not insult any knight and send back the letter of complaint.”
