238 What Are You Thinking About? (2/2)

The king frowned. ”The Church of Light would be more powerful with a dragon knight.”

With his head lowered, the man in black continued, ”Also, this Schuck is a newly-promoted Saint Samurai. He seems to be favored by the Goddess of Light.”

Hearing that, the king couldn't help but evince shock despite his usual calmness. ”A Saint Samurai and a dragon knight, do you know that that means?”

The man in black said slowly, ”We've confirmed this again and again.”

The king heaved a sigh. ”A Saint Samurai plus a dragon knight means it's impossible to avenge my second son.”

The Church of Light was only second to the Church of Life in terms of size.

Also, the Saint Samurai had a high position. They were only second to the pope and were on the same level as the Holy Ladies of Light.

They even had more actual power than the Holy Ladies of Light did.

The prince of a small country was really nothing in front of a Saint Samurai.

The man in black dared not say anything.

The room was quiet for a long time, and the king simply stood in a daze.

He seemed quite sorrowful, until he asked casually in the end, ”What about Andonara?”

”She seems to be eloping with a Golden Son.”

The king thought for a moment and said, ”Find a way to tell her that I'm willing to forgive her infidelity even though she ran away with someone as long as she comes back. After all, it was my second son who caused the whole thing. We're at fault.”

The man in black robe nodded.

After the man left, the king's face became slightly twisted, but it was soon back to normal.

Very soon, a guard reported that the crown prince wanted to meet him.

”Let him in.”

Very soon, a middle-aged man walked in.

He slightly stooped and said, ”Father, I'm told that my brother…”

The king waved his hand. ”I already know. You'll collect the bodies of the royal guards right now and try to suppress the incident.”

”Are we going to do nothing about my brother's death?”

The king looked at him and smiled. ”If you're willing to, I won't stop you.”

”Oh…” The crown prince was speechless for a moment. Then he said, ”We should at least get the queen back.”

”You want to look for her?” The king stared at his son with a smile, like a lion king gazing at another male lion.

The prince was rather panicked and slightly lowered his head.

The king knew his son's thoughts too well.

The royal family had always been fully aware of Andonara's capabilities.

They knew that she was a very strong Great Swordsman, and that she could even teach someone else to be one.

However, they had been suppressing her.

After all, it had been no more than four years since Andonara was married, and her loyalty couldn't be confirmed yet. She had to be tamed, whetted, and polished, and the king would not really accept her into the royal family until her loyalty was fully confirmed.

Everything had been going well, until the second prince completely ruined the king's plan.

So, the king was both angry and regretful about his second son's death.

The king thought for a moment and said, ”You're free to look for the queen, but she can't just disappear. I want to see her dead or alive, do you understand?”

The crown prince said solemnly, ”Yes, Father.”
