Chapter 93 (2/2)

His eyes burned with a passion for revenge

“I would have preferred if the princess had sent an item that was a little ht' even happened yet?”

Heretic knight──was an alias used by the principality for Leon

His actions strayed fro in that nickname

Though Leon didn't kill his enehts and soldiers who returned home were slandered by the principality's nobles and citizens

It was as Leon had said it would be

Bandel was treated as a senile ht

“I will not tolerate the princess being insulted”

However, he still retained his dignity

Upon being glared at, Garrett shi+fted his gaze towards a letter, as if to escape from Bandel

“I, I didn't intend such──hmm?”

After a brief period of ti at the letter, shi+fting his gaze nuht arm and the letter

“C, could it be?”

“What happened?”

When Bandel asked that question while folding his arms, Garrett raised his voice in joy

“Black Knight No, forive up your life?”

Bandel laughed scornfully at Garrett's words

“I'ht I'll do anything to help the princess”

“Splendid! Then, let endary armor A lost item that only a portion of the royal family even knows about”

As everyone gazed at the arht hand, Garrett opened his arms

“What a wonderful gift! Her Highness Princess Hertrude carried out her duty well With this, her younger sister, her Highness 'Princess Hertrauda Sera Fanoss,' has no eneht has no chance!”

“It can even coht?”

“Yes, there's a good chance of success However──it seeht has currently been betrayed by his country and imprisoned Just as he deserves”

“It's a shame that on't be able to finish him off in a battlefield”

“I can't cos of a hness Hertrauda's enemies has disappeared”

Hertrude's younger sister was Hertrauda, the second princess

A tru fleets and monsters in the sky

Bandel squinted, staring at the arht arm

“I'll help Hertrude Even if itup my life”

Bandel tightly grasped his fist while next to Garrett, as joyed that he could get revenge over his moustache

I was in a dungeon within the royal palace

The damp place was chilly and ice cold

The air was stagnant and it was not a place I wanted to be in for long

Since I had to be a prisoner, my hands were cuffed

As I was yawning, the jailer gave nal

It seems that a visitor arrived

That personme

“I ed you, Baltfault!”

The owner of that grand voice was the one ould most likely become the ruler of the royal palace

It was Julian

He ry at me, but I'm irritated that he's here as well

“Who are you?”

When I acted as if I didn't knoho he was, his face turned red

“Julian! 'Julian Rafua Holfault'! That's beside the point, explain your betrayal! I thought you were a coward, but I didn't think that you'd do this!”

He was speaking recklessly

It seems that despite how sly Julian believed I was, he didn't think I would betray the kingdom

──However, now that I think about it, it wouldn't be strange for uys

And you're the cause of that This is your fault

No, wait a e is the cause? Each tie, it results in catastrophe and I've thought about abandoning this country many times

“I didn't betray the kingdo falsely accused Save me, Prince”

“You're still at it with the jokes Tell , Baltfault”

It see to help me

Well, if our positions were swapped, I wouldn't help Julian out either, I suppose

In the first place, this guy doesn't have much authority

“Tell you what?”

“You've got a big attitude despite standing before me”

“Do you think that I have any attachret this soetting hit”

“Is that so? I actually have soet this over with”

He proceeded to speak about the situation regarding me

“Your Partner and Arroganz have been seized by the kingdom's chivalric order It seems they can't operate it, so there's no problem there”

That's quite the problem for me

I'm not worried since Luxon will handle it, but I am discomforted

“There's a push to execute you, but there's also a push to protect you Perhaps you're caught in the e”

Froe

They've been giving me promotion after promotion I don't think it's only this occasion in particular that things are strange It's strange all the time, so if there are any periods of normalcy, then do tell me

“So?”

“Baltfault──why did you betray us? What are you sche this time?”

Quite harsh of hi, let alone betray the country

Am I that cruel of a person?

“I said that I'et me”

“What?!”

What are you surprised about?! You're the prince who lived in the royal palace, right? Use your noggin a little! You're too naive

“You thought I was betraying the kingdo with a little more force”

“I suppose you're right If it was you, there would have been s just to spite us”

Though convinced, Julian annoyed me What kind of trust do you have towards me?

So Julian revealed as on his mind, but why is he here to consult me?

“I' that some conflict will arise soon”

I was about to tell him that it would be a rebellion at worst, but I closed my mouth

After all, the Holfault Kingdoe country with many foes

There are nudom, such as the principality

Under such circue of a rebellion, or the principality's schemes

I've got a bad feeling

“──Is there some kind of corrective force?”

I can't help but feel that son with the story of that otoame

Julian was puzzled by my mutters

“Corrective? What are you talking about, Baltfault?”

“The story I' detained here, so I don't know the full story of what's going on”

Julian put his hand on his jaw and pondered about so, so I made a request

“Hey, let me out”

“I cannot I have no authority right now”

Useless prince Well, I suppose trouble would arise if he let me out

All things considered──I've got some suspicions

The ic flute, the principality's tru kept under strict safekeeping by the kingdom

Hertrude's absent froht now

However, Hertrude's been acting strangely

It's like there's this corrective force that'sreality follow the story

“──This really is a terrible world”

Ignoring eon

If things keep progressing according to the story, I need to run

I──no, even Luxon won't be able to win against the principality's trump card
