Chapter 41: To The Capital (4)

Milton had a sh not as capable as Jerome, Rick and Tommy were just as loyal For these people

'My face is nothing'

Milton decided to apologize to Count Librador since he probably wanted so more than mere monetary compensation from the trial Since the dispute arose out of pride, if Milton lowered his head first, then Count Librador ht be bruised, Milton illing to do it if it would protect his men The uest has couest? Who is it?”

Milton didn’t know anyone in the capital, so who could have coreet them And then

“You?"

It was a couest

Count Librador was co in his library

"Duel? How ridiculous That’s the problees They only kno to fight to solve their proble Milton's request to duel Instead, he felt superior to Milton Just as Milton had investigated Count Librador, Count Librador had also investigated Milton However, unlike him, Count Librador was able to learn ence netas better than Milton’s

After taking over the n war, and once he had returned, he had gone into battle with the surrounding territories, won, and expanded his own territory Because of that, Count Librador simply labeled Milton as a barbarian - soence After all, Milton participated in a war to pay the fa the enemy

Count Librardor sihting As a literary nobleence was the true noble way So he made the decision to take Milton to court

First, forrease so chess, block the enemy’s retreat one by one until check his favorite Waterport Kingdom's wine from the year '56 All he had to do was just wait for the eneht Tsk tsk, how vulgar wanting to fight with swords…”

As Count Librador sloaited for Milton to surrender…

“My Lord, a guest has couest came to see him

"Who is it? Is it Count Forrest?”

Count Librador felt that as barbaric as Milton was, he should at least be able to grasp the situation and surrender

“Yes, My Lord Count Forrest is here”

Believing hilass

“Hmm is that so? Ask him to wait in the parlor, no, at the lobby And tell him I'm busy ork, so it'll take about an hour or so”

Count Librador was feeling slass, but the chamberlain was troubled

“That's”

“Why? Is there a problem?”

“He didn't come alone He came with”

When the chamberlain told him who Milton came with, Count Librador jumped up

“Why did he—? Quick quickly, take o directly”

Count Librador ran out of his library in a cold sweat While his usual belief was that nobles should be calnified, this was not the tireet the gentleman who had come to visit him Sure, Milton was also next to him, but that wasn’t important now This was because

“I, Kevin Librador, greet Your Highness, the First Prince, the rightful successor of this kingdom”

In front of him was a medom, Skyt von Lester

To briefly explain the situation, the royal fast the was 64 years old and could abdicate at anyto beco, but the two main contenders for the throne were Skyt von Lester, the First Prince, and Byron von Lester, the Second Prince In fact, at one point in tiht princes, but due to accidents, there were now only four left And of that four, two of them were still infants

What happened is obvious — the sweet teedy between blood The First Prince had originally been the Third Prince, but he had eliminated the two in front of him This elimination wasn’t just from the line of succession; he had physically eli hit by a crossbow in an accident on the hunting ground, and the other died fro Of course, people said the previous princes died from accidents, but everyone kneas behind it

However, the current king was turning a blind eye to his children’s bloody conflicts In fact, he had also taken his brothers’ lives to ascend to the throne He believed brothers shouldn’t be viewed as fa, and so, he sist the princes He had no intention of taking anyone's side until the final winner was decided

With the King turning a blind eye, the battle for the throne became fiercer until there were only two princes left to compete for the throne The First Prince and the Second Prince began to recruit nobles into their factions to enlarge their power base It came to the point where the nobles in the Capital had to choose a side — the First Prince or the Second Prince

And Count Librador was none other than a nobleh he supported the First Prince, Count Librador's position within the faction wasn’t high — somewhere in the middle at best So it was understandable for Count Librador to be so flustered when the leader of his faction, the First Prince, appeared directly in front of him
