137 137 "Wang Jin Preparation" (2/2)

Swordsmanship doesn't just happen overnight.

The only thing they could teach the wild child Shin were the general rules, and how to fight according to them.

But that was enough.

The two of them will teach Shin a tactic that only he can win, and then it's just a matter of testing to see if it will work.

Sin. The battle of the kings will be held in the palace halls in a few hours. Until then, get some rest.

”Yeah, but if you still have a few hours, I can do it. ......

Saying that, Rostam forces Shin to sit down as he tries to get up.

”Straining your body to the breaking point is counterproductive. Now we've come this far...now just take a few hours to rest. The best thing you can do right now is to try and keep your strength up.

Shin immediately nods in agreement with Rostam, who declares so admonishingly.

He lies down on the spot and begins to breathe in his sleep.

Then an unfamiliar soldier approaches Rostam's and Sachaque's location, who were watching Shin's sleeping face, and speaks into Sachaque's ear.

”Mr. Sachaque. There has been a development in the matter: ......

”...... Okay. ......

As soon as he hears the report from that soldier, Rostam calls out to his brother's back as he begins to move away from the place.

”Where are you going, brother. In a few hours, the battle of the Kings will begin.

...... about that. We have received word that we have found the location of a soldier involved in an incident a few years ago: ......

”Oh.

An incident from a few years ago.

Zahak understood at once that it was about the assassination of Singh's mother.

Since entering the kingdom, Sachak and Rostam had been using the imperial intelligence network to learn more about the events of that time and the area around Masoudha.

Considering that the mother of the murdered Singh was the king's official consort at the time, her assassination would not have been easy.

Even if the mastermind was Masuda, the assassin, the gatekeeper and soldiers who facilitated the assassination, or the maid and the nobleman.

It would be impossible to do this without the involvement of many people, and it would be impossible to get rid of everyone involved.

Even if they did, it would be like admitting to a black rumor in the palace, and many would be driven away or silenced with a golden hand.

But that was not what Sachaque felt.

Was it necessary to go through so much trouble and risk to assassinate the queen and kill her children?

That was the first question Zachary felt.

Masoudah was the first prince of this country.

He is destined to succeed to the throne, if nothing else.

Did he carry out the assassination not only because the queen is from a commoner's family, but also because there is a bigger story behind the assassination?

To find out, Sachaque heads to the city.

Somewhere in his heart, Sachauke has a hunch that the truth of the case is hidden there.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

Okay.

Then I walked out of the palace to see the sun all the way up.

I've done all I can. I've done all I can.

I looked back at my friends behind me.

Let's go. We've got to go watch the king's game and cheer for Shin.

Everyone nodded at the sound of my voice.

We headed to the site of the battle of the kings to see the resolution between Shin and Masuda.
