Chapter 79




Chapter 79
“Impossible! No matter how successful my royal adventurer is, such a thing is not acceptable. He shall be knighted. It has been decided. Do you understand?”
However, the king’s decision was met with a surprised ‘Eh?’ from the man next to him who seemed to be in charge of advising the king.
“I see. Your Majesty says that that the knighthood is enough for Allen, the adventurer of the Dukes of Ramslet, to retake the Bruseni region from the Est Empire, something no one has done in 50 years, is it?”
Yes. If you look back at history, those who have played a major role in the war have been appointed Barons or Viscounts.
As a standard, it is customary to be a Viscount when a region or an important city is regained.
There is no doubt that the recapture of the Bruseni region is a far greater achievement than that.
The king’s assistant overhears something from the king.
“Mmm, then let’s make him a Baron. As for the territory, I will send out a message later. Is that clear?”
“No, It’s not worth talking about. After all, it’s the recapture of the Bruseni region. That’s why I’m asking for the Count. In the first place, didn’t His Majesty promise Allen, the adventurer of the Dukes of Ramslet, that he would be rewarded with whatever he wanted, gold, treasure, titles, women, etc., if he kicked the Imperial Guard to the curb and brought victory to the Centraren Kingdom?”
“Our nation has not yet defeated the Est Empire! The war is going on!”
“But your Majesty said that he would be victorious if he would be able to retake the Bruseni region, and issued a written order, didn’t you?”
“Eh! So! Even so, there’s no way he will be granted a Count’s title! That’s right――”
(Tl:- Is he even an adult, throwing tantrums like a child? (╬▔皿▔)╯)
Just as I was about to shout something, the man standing next to the king overheard something.
“Yes, that’s right. It’s only with the help of my excellent army. Besides, no matter how successful he was in battle, he’ll never get a Count’s rank!”
“Then, what should he do to get the Count’s title? Would it be the head of an important person in the Est Empire?”
“Mmm? That’s right. If he can single-handedly take the head of the Emperor or the Crown Prince of the Est Empire, I’ll consider it.”
Uwaa. He stepped on it with great pinpoint accuracy.
Hearing this, the Duke smiled again, a black smile on his face.
“Is that so? By the way, do you remember that I told you at the beginning that my adventurer Allen of the Duke of Ramslett had done more than just retake the Bruseni region?”
“Mmm? Was that so? But I’ve received no such report, you know?”
“Yes, I thought it would be my duty as a vassal to inform His Majesty first, including how to treat it, since it is too great a war achievement.”
“Hmm?”
When he said that, the Duke took out the heads of Igor, Crown Prince of the Est Empire, and GĂźnther, Magic Commander, which I had brought, from a high-quality magic bag with a preservation function, and laid them out in front of the King.
“What? No way?”
“You know these two faces, don’t you?”
“I, Igor, ……the Crown Prince and Günther, ……the Magic Commander?”
“Yes. Allen, an adventurer of the Duke of Ramslett, infiltrated and brought back the heads of these two men alone. The Ramslet Dukedom has been in close contact with the adventurer Allen. Based on the recent war situation, we believe that the Est Empire and the Kingdom of Xaus are linked, and we have ordered Allen to take the heads of the Est Empire’s central figures. This is the reason why he left without taking part in the cleanup of the defeated soldiers after completing the recapture of Bruseni.”
“…”
(Tl:- It’s quite funny how the duke is saying ‘adventurer of the Duke of Ramslett’ every time he mentions Allen’s name. (*≧▽≦)ﾉｼ)) )
The king, who had been completely debunked by the duke, bit his lip and fell silent.
After observing the silence for a while, the Duke called out to the King with the same expression on his face.
“Your Majesty?”
“Duke, you’ve been giving false reports to me, haven’t you?”
The king suddenly looked angry and shifted the subject.
“False report? What on earth are you talking about?”
“You told us that you were being attacked by 100,000 troops, yet you easily defeated them! No matter how strong your army is, there is no way you can defeat an army of 100,000. It’s outrageous that you lied to me and pretended that the royal adventurer is your own adventurer!”
The black smile disappeared from the Duke’s face.
“Your Majesty, that is not a false report, it is a fact. Isn’t it true that there have been other reports besides mine? And my army has repelled them at great cost. What kind of thinking is it to say that? How can you call me a liar and not even thank me for my loyal service in defending our Kingdom? This Gerhard is overwhelmed by this shock.”
And then a black smile again.
“No, I’m sure your Majesty will not say such a thing because you’re wise.”
(Tl:- LOL (*≧▽≦)ﾉｼ)) )
The king was so agitated that he lost his temper and finally uttered a line that he should not have said.
“Gu~tsu! Hey! Grab this rude man!”
“Wha, Your Majesty! No! You can’t do that!”
The man who was waiting next to him stopped him, but the king was heated up and would not stop.
“Don’t stop me Chancellor! Do you want to be put in prison too!”
“…… I apologize for my overzealousness.
I see. So this guy was the Chancellor.
However, the Chancellor left his seat and went straight back to the wall.
Visit wuxiaworld.eu for extra chapters.
Eh? Is it okay? You’re abandoning your support of the king?
No, maybe he’ll be really sent to prison, so he has returned to his usual nature, is it?
“Is that so. Then I guess negotiations have broken down. What a pity. Oh, yes. By the way, how is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? I’d like to see him fight bravely like royalty once in a while. Well then, I’ll take my leave now.”
With that, the duke stood up and walked towards the exit.
By the way, the last irony is for the Crown Prince who did not volunteer, but it is also an irony for the King in a roundabout way.
Because this guy has never been on the battlefield, even though he is surrounded by so many enemies.
I guess that’s what happens to the child when their parent is like this.
This is why this guy decided to make the First Prince, who was born with the blessing of〖Hero〗, the Crown Prince at an early stage and spoiled him thoroughly.
It is not the blessings that are given that make a person, but the efforts that are made to live up to those blessings that make a person a hero.
In the game, the Crown Prince only realizes this after the destruction of the royal capital and the loss of everything.
However, in this world, unlike in the game, the royal capital will not be destroyed by the hands of the villainess who has fallen into darkness, and Amy, who is supposed to support the crown prince, is not what she seems.
Well, what can I say, it’s partly because of me messing the plots, but it will be difficult to rehabilitate him now.
“What the hell are you doing? Get him! Get him!”
The king was even more enraged when he heard the duke’s words, and he shouted orders to the guard knights around him while yelling at them, the guard knights finally moved.
Six of the ten guard knights were stationed around the King, which was impressive.
The Duke of Ramslett has ‘Allen, the adventurer of the Ramslett Dukedom’ who has sneaked into the Imperial City alone and assassinated the Crown Prince and the Magic Commander.
They probably thought that if they mess with the Duke of Ramslett, there is a good chance that his blade will now turn on the royal family of the Centraren Kingdom.
But led by this king who doesn’t understand such things, this Kingdom will be ruined.
“Duke of Ramslett, you are hereby detained on suspicion of treason.”
“Get out of the way! Or you’ll get hurt!”
The Duke threatens, but the guard knights don’t seem to be backing down.
“It can’t be helped”
As the four guard knights approached the Duke to restrain him, I fired a non-lethal round at them.
“Ga~tsu”
“guha~tsu”
“Wha”
“Ugh”
The guard knights, who had been trying to restrain the Duke, groaned and crouched down.
“Duke, this way.
“Umu”
I created a smokescreen and ran through the palace with the Duke.
