CHAPTER 783: 613, IT’S FINE TO JUST WATCH FROM THE SIDE.

The next day, at dawn.

As the sun rose in the east, dispelling the night and subduing the darkness, turning the sky into a brilliant blue day, a carriage adorned with the Franzel family crest rolled its wheels, slowly making its way to the castle standing at the end of the main street.

Inside the carriage, Reiger and Yuri sat facing each other, one with Yuloli by her side, constantly nodding her head, and the other sitting next to Marilyn, who was dressed as a maid, engaged in conversation.

"I’ve already notified them in advance and declared to His Majesty that I would be visiting the palace with you today."

Yuri’s expression was even more serious and solemn than yesterday when she talked about the "Ice Girls," as she spoke to Reiger sitting opposite her.

"His Majesty made an excuse, saying he was dealing with matters related to the ancient texts that had been deciphered, but at my insistence and on your behalf, he ultimately accepted our audience."

Upon hearing this, Reiger nodded with neither sadness nor joy, indicating he understood.

But his attitude did not reassure Yuri.

"Honestly, I’d very much like to advise you not to conflict with the kingdom, but looking at you now, that seems impossible, doesn’t it?"

Yuri sighed, looking troubled.

"That will depend on how the other party acts," said Reiger, who didn’t offer comfort to Yuri and instead spoke indifferently as if he already had a plan in mind, "I’m also curious why the king, who previously tried to avoid any conflict with me, is now suddenly placing Liz under house arrest."

"If he can provide me with a reasonable explanation and let Liz go with me, naturally, I would not bother to oppose a king of a kingdom without reason."

His words carried a clear underlying meaning, telling Yuri that if the other side intended to play hardball, he wouldn’t mind responding in kind.

If it weren’t for the fact that the other side seemed hesitant to harm Liz and only placed her under house arrest, Reiger certainly wouldn’t have gone to the palace so obediently.

"I know you’re upset right now, and I’m not asking you to endure it," Yuri said with a smile, "If you were just an ordinary person, I would definitely ask you to endure, but you are not, so there’s no need for you to endure it."

Who is Reiger?

A bona fide Sword Saint and a magician of Tactical Level Magic, recognized by the people.

The Sword Saint badge that Reiger received was personally awarded by King Hemulinp himself; his title was unquestionable and devoid of any falsehood.

And a Sword Saint who also mastered Tactical Level Magic, even if he did not hold any official position in the kingdom, was still a great figure deserving of respect.

Just like Nipede, who, although not a magician of Tactical or Strategic Level Magic, needed to be addressed respectfully by both the royal family and the nobility because of his strength comparable to that of a Sword Saint.

The same was true for Reiger, whose noble strength of a Sword Saint required anyone who met him to address him respectfully as ’my lord.’

And when a servant under the command of a Sword Saint and a magician of Tactical Level Magic was detained by someone else, was that something to endure?

Definitely not!

Not only could Reiger not endure it, even Yuri felt it should not be endured.

Reiger was not some insignificant figure that could be found anywhere, nor was he without support. To detain his person like that was not only to show disrespect to Reiger but also to Yuri.

Who did not know that Reiger was now one of her people?

Therefore, King Hemulinp’s actions already gave Yuri a reason to personally enter the palace and confront him decisively.

Keep in mind that when Reiger was only attacked in secret by the ’Shadow’ men, Yuri had gone to the palace to see King Hemulinp and in his presence, accused the mad dog prince of his actions, to the extent that the royal family’s members were all affected and were severely punished by an enraged King Hemulinp.

The current situation, in terms of gravity, was not any less serious compared to the last.

Accordingly, when Reiger claimed he intended to go to the palace, Yuri offered her support without a second thought.

However...

"His Majesty’s current attitude is clearly problematic; previously he was so favorable, so cautious, and so enthusiastic about you, but now he’s willing to offend you just to hold Liz under house arrest. There’s obviously more to it."

Yuri told Reiger with a serious face.

"If His Majesty is unwilling to compromise on this matter for some reason, with your temperament, you’re likely to come into conflict with him."

This was no small matter.

"Though you are a Sword Saint, the royal family also has its own Sword Saints."

"The Shadow Sword Saint goes without saying, a loyal warrior nurtured by the royal family who, if you offend His Majesty, will certainly leap out from the shadows behind you and stab you in the back."

"Beyond the Shadow Sword Saint, there’s an unfathomable old Sword Saint who is always stationed in the palace, and even the Sword Saint from the Bolelei family might be there."

Yuri’s words reminded Reiger of the two mentioned who were in the background.

The old Sword Saint, the most senior and widely recognized as the most powerful Sword Saint in the Kingdom of Genas, was a legend within the kingdom.

He served three generations of kings and was regarded with great reverence by King Hemulinp himself, who showed no airs of royalty before him.

The powerful presence Reiger recalled was from when he was in the kingdom’s treasury; inside the cabin, he had caught a fleeting glimpse of that formidable aura.

He knew then that the strongest Sword Saint of the kingdom resided in that hut, a strength far surpassing that of the Shadow Sword Saint Rom, and quite possibly comparable to level 8.
