Chapter 563 - Rochbeich Family (1) (2/2)
Sadly, the leader's identity was too mysterious. What they knew was that even the commander of the Regalia's city had to act respectfully towards the leader.
Auron had tried to torture the enemy's leader, but the person in the question was muted. Since Auron was once the leader of a big guild, he knew some of the enemy's noble and higher-ups. However, he never had seen the enemy's leader anywhere.
What surprised Auron actually, this was the enemy's leader's first assignment. He just joined the Regalia's military a month ago and was quickly dispatched to the Bridge World.
Smite rummaged through the prisoners' belongings. He focused on the enemy's leader's clothes. During his time rummaging through the clothes, he called Jeffrey and discussed with him in a low voice. Smite didn't even include the commander of the outpost in their discussion. But, Auron could see that the commander was not angry because of this.
Five minutes later, Smite put down the clothes then he went to the three prisoners once again. Smite walked slowly with a solemn expression. Then, he stopped in front of the enemy's leader.
”Rochbeich Family.” Smite only said those two words.
When everyone heard what Smite had said, everyone was confused, including the two enemy leader comrades. They never heard of such a family in Regalia.
While everyone was confused, there was only one person who flinched when he heard the two words. However, he tried to act normally and raised his head towards Smite with a confused look.
Unfortunately, that little change could not escape through Smite and Jeffrey's eyes. Jeffrey approached Smite and tap his shoulder and nodded towards Smite.
Rochbeich Family was actually a family name in the Regalia. No one knew about Rochbeich Family except Regalia's royal family. When the enemy's leader looked at Smite with a confused look, his mind was messy.
There should be no one knew about Rochbeich Family, except Regalia's royal family. Rochbeich Family was not a true family name. They were like a codename given by the royal family.
The Regalia's royal family would adopt orphan kids and trained them. These kids would be trained in secrecy and only the royal family knew about this matter, even the noble family didn't know about this. After several times of selection, the kids would be assigned to one of Regalia's noble families.
The kids could either join the noble family from the bottom or got secret help from the royal family. The kids would serve as the Regalia's royal family's hidden weapon to really control all of the nobles in Regalia.
This enemy's leader was actually assigned to a high-ranked noble family just like the other kids in the Rochbeich Family. Then, he joined the military using this noble family's high background. Hence, the people fawned over him.
If Smite had guessed the noble family he came from, he would not be surprised. However, Smite had guessed his real background instead of his camouflage background.
