112 Twenty-two. 35. How can the spring not come after winter? (2)

“Your Majesty made me an example of him as a member of the royal family." I can't stand the sight of a soloist. ”

The old marquis sighed with relief at my exemplary answer. Neither did the King express himself, but I noticed that my stubborn answer was a bit of a favourite.

“Keep in mind that rights are subject to responsibilities, and set an example for the future as a royal family. ”

In the words of the king, I smiled and said,

“Without further ado, what now? ”

The king frowns at my words.

“Precision.”

Seeing such a king, he said,

“If we catch Ganja, can we say it's a royal royal royalty who is honest and involved? ”

The king's face hardened someday.

“There was a mix of royal infantry following me as I followed the outsiders to the north. I thought it was you who put me and the outsiders under surveillance. ”

“It's a quick start.”

Hearing a voice as stiff as his face, he turned his head.

There was a palanquin.

“Your Majesty, I did. ”

The paladin, who received my gaze, stepped forward and knelt.

“You?”

“Even though the planting of the first prince in the north was not very good, I dared to do something more topical, for I feared that he would make a wrong judgement in my youth. ”

“Count Balahard was there to guide you, but you've done nothing. ”

“If you punish me, I will receive it sweetly. ”

The king knocks on the armrests of the throne.

What is it to punish because you have done it with your loyalty to punish me right now? Then let's move on. It was no small sin to spy on the royal family.

“If you are guilty, you will have to do it to the party, not me. ”

The king who was pondering gave me a choice.

It meant punishing the royal palace, or forgiving the royal family.

“Your Majesty. Punish me. ”

“Yes. If you do something wrong, you should be punished. ”

I did not speculate.

“I will be punished by any kind of punishment. ”

“I won't run. ”

My choice is punishment, not forgiveness.

“I didn't see him say he was thirsty. ”

It was also a death penalty.

“It was done with loyalty. Too many bees.”

I shook my head in the king's words.

"As Your Majesty would say, if it had been done with loyalty. ”

I looked back.

The palanquin still nods at me with a sinful face. But it was not really his face that he considered himself guilty of death. It's audacious.

“The name of the precision was mixed between Joseph and the Royal Infantry, and my purpose was to look at the winter and the northern frontiers, not my personal surveillance. ”

The palanquin again stood before the king and defended himself.

I was thinking of the sentiments of the Earl of the Warlord, just to prepare for the unknown turmoil, but it meant nothing else.

The king noticed that he was persuaded by the palace's excuses.

“I'm not trying to prepare for the turmoil, but to identify the northern part of the country where the Empire's surveillance is not affected. ”

“Your Majesty! I can't handle it! Soshin, I have lived only for the well-being of the royal family to this day! I will die if I die! But I cannot die because I served two masters! ”

The king threw up blood on the palace.

“The Royal White Family has served the royal family for generations. I will not listen to the prince. ”

“The fact that my father served the royal family with loyalty does not mean that he should even be a child. ”

The king answered with a loud voice.

"Elixir and conjecture. ”

"Your Majesty. The palanquin is not who you think he is. ”

He stood up to Marquis Villefeld and defended the palace.

"I see. I misunderstood. ”

I took a step back.

When I withdrew, the king and the marquis became rather puzzled. I thought I would insist on punishing the palace whilst using force to the end.

What am I going to do?

I shrugged my shoulders to the king and the marquis who see me.

The king has insulted the Royal White Family, who have been loyal to the kingdom for generations, and has ordered me to remain in prison for three days in return for my impatience.

I said, "Don't."

Of course, I didn't really intend to be in a place for three days.

Two days later, an ambitious night came. I looked at her hand and stood up.

“Then ask for the rest. ”

She vanished like the wind, with her head lowered.

I led Arwen and Karlsman through the royal womb in secret.

I don't even want to turn my back.

I was afraid to leave the royal palace, and someone appeared before me.

“Did you do a good job? ”

She looked up at the cape instead of answering. A green cloak was cut long. Then, the white face that appeared under the cape was also pale today.

“Well done.”

With a small pat on her shoulder, she takes the lead.

I followed her through the alleys of the royal palace, and a splendid mansion appeared. It was as big as a royal womb, and the guard was also a triumphant mansion.

This way.

Gunne walks us through the walls of the mansion.

Wait here.

After stopping at some point, he follows her and hides himself in a dark shade under the wall.

After waiting for a while, I felt the foundation inside the wall.

Phew.

Soon after, a deep shadow pressed on the black cloak popped out from inside the mansion.

After a brief look at the surroundings, a strange man lightly crosses the tall wall like a shallow fence.

At that moment, a powerful energy appeared from afar. It did not reach the Sword Master, but it was almost an energy close to him.

“Don't move. ”

I began to hear the sound of iron armor hitting everywhere, terribly before the end of the outrageous voice.

Chuckle, chuckle.

Then came court knights and guards dressed in gold.

It was a strict siege that completely besieged the front line.

A middle-aged knight appeared among the court knights. He was also in my memory.

Deputy commander of the Court Knights. How many times have I seen him standing next to the Old Knight?

“I deserve to die for breaking into the king's residence, but I will punish you with misfortune if I reveal my guilt. ”

I looked everywhere in a panic when I saw the court knights and guards appear suddenly.

“How dare you know where this place is! ”

Another group came running from afar.

“This is where the Ambassador of the Empire stays! ”

Knights and escorts of the Empire guarding the Marquis of Montpellier.

“Who dares to make such a fuss in the middle of the night...”

The man who looks like the leader of the knights stepped up and communicated, recognizing the Court Knights and blurring his words.

“Why are the Court Knights in this place...”

“Someone broke into the King's residence last night. ”

A middle-aged knight frowned at the words of the empire.

“Doubt us? ”

“No way. I just caught the culprit. ”

A middle-aged article that said that pointed to us.

“Come out.”

At that word I stood before the knights out of the shadows. Then I wet the hood of the cape that was being worn upside down.

“Your Majesty? Why did you do it?”

A middle-aged knight recognizes me and opens his eyes. I said naturally as I watched the knights roam the palace.

“There's no moon, there's no air, there's no walking day. Isn't that right?”

The last words looked at the freak and said,

Strange was surrounded by court knights and imperial knights, unable to do this or do this, and hardened like a statue.

“Grab it. And get on your knees. ”

I ordered the court knights to do more than that.

The court knights fulfilled my orders without delay.

Certainly, I felt my status was different from before.

Strange men were drawn to the sword and desperately resisted, but the court knights were the best in the kingdom. When none of those knights and six of them ran, the sword was snatched away and he fell on his knees on the ground.

“Wait."

The court knight stopped trying to take off the cloak of a freak.

“I'll check. ”

“This person has not been identified. How are you trying to take the risk? ”

He was a knowledgeable court knight.

“Me? I'm Sodmaston? ”

But it didn't work for me.

He approaches the more bizarre court knights with his mouth shut and wets his cloak.

“Ugh!”

“Why the author! ”

The Court Knights, who recognized the freak, took a deep breath.

“I told you. ”

I said to the freak, ignoring the surrounding reactions.

“My punishment won't be sweet. ”

In my words, the weirder, whiter face became.

* *

“Just tell me what the hell happened. ”

An ambitious vision, magnificent with the King.

“I threw the bait, and the meat just bit the bait. ”

“The meat was a palace bag. ”

I nod.

The King accused me of being unfaithful by speculation. But I wasn't being rude. I just acted like I was being rude.

That way, the Empire's spies will feel crisis and won't shrink too much.

“How did you know? ”

“I've been sticking people up for a long time. ”

“How do you know that the palanquin is a spy? ”

I shook my head in the king's words.

“I didn't put it on the palanquin. ”

It was the ambassador of the Empire, not the palace, that I put the surveillance in place. I let the Swordsmen watch over the Marquis of Montpellier, but I had an unexpected income.

I learned that there are people who secretly enter the Marquis's mansion.

The Swordsmen cleverly stepped on the backs of their secret guests and kept track of their identities.

Among them, surprisingly, there was a palace chief who was in charge of the royal palace.

The king, who heard my explanation, opened his eyes.

“Do you have a list? ”

I took a sealed envelope out of my arms without a word and handed it to the king.

As soon as he received the envelope, the king ripped his nose and checked the contents.

The king who scoured the list closed his eyes. Then I didn't open my mouth for a long time.

It was a very shocking face.

I had to.

The names of the nobles on the list I gave you were not one or two. The names of nearly half the kingdom's nobles were on the list.

Even though not all of them were spies, at least half of them were the ones who sold the kingdom's information to Marquis Montpellier.

In other words, at least a quarter of the kingdom's nobles were attached to the Empire.

It also meant that the number of those who were revealed was the same, and it would not be enough to say that the king who had been against the Empire all his life was disappointed.

“Why didn't you tell me you had a list like this from the beginning? ”

In the words of the king, I shrugged.

I would have wanted to do this childish play and take the hassle.

“Would you believe that? ”

The palanquin said he was a spy, but the seeds were not eaten either.

In that situation, if I am a list of nobles who are in a relationship with Montpellier, and I give you a piece of paper, I will believe you.

Whether the king was persuaded of my words or not, I made no mention of it.

“It's a pity. The actions of the palace whites from the Ambassador's mansion on an ambitious night are doubtful, but I can't give the palace whites as one. I wish I'd waited a little longer after I threw the guillotine bait and waited for the needle to stitch properly. ”

I laughed at the King's lamentation.

“What did the writer say? ”

“You've done something unfair and misleading, so you said you'd take responsibility and step back. He said he would go down as soon as he finished the takeover. ”

“Let me back off. ”

The king frowns. I guess it was unexpected that I told you to punish him so hard.

“A nobleman who has been in power for a long time in the Kingdom falls. You've lost your power, but you won't have much wealth. ”

I wonder if the King understands what I'm saying.

“It would be good for the adversaries to twist. ”

“Maybe the one with the grudge is twisted. How many enemies would you have had while you enjoyed power? ”

Like a royal eldest son, or a prince, or a country.

I had already decided to take care of the paladin, and I was willing to follow him to the end, whether he fell into exile or exile to the Empire.

And the only price a traitor had to pay was death.

When I smiled bitterly, the king also laughed.

Suddenly he laughed and became an awkward face. I don't think it was familiar to have this conversation with me.

Neither did I. I felt awkward, so I gave my purchasing power and smoked something else.

The king asked me, as I was about to get up from the slumber.

“I'll let the nobles on the list take their time to thinn it out. ”

“You don't have to deal with it too much. The time will come. ”

"When?"

I hesitate to sit back on my butt, which happened halfway.

Then I looked at the king.

“Isn't there something you need to talk about first? ”

Though I was quite relieved to see the other side of the king, I still remember the soldiers of Winter Castle who died waiting for reinforcements.

The last appearance of the outsider was also good in my eyes.

So I asked.

“Why did you abandon the North? ”

That's why we were so expansive in the north that we were able to defend.
