Vol 6: Chapter 21 (2)

** Duke Grenjido **

「An intruder?」

The guard captain trembled, ferociously glared at by Duke Grenjido.

Grenjido received the report around the time he woke up — immediately after sunrise.

「Y-Yes, it seems that Earl Sillys was targeted. But thanks to the Earl alerting the guards, we managed to avoid further problems.」

「Idiot!」

「Eekk.」

「Someone broke into the Holy Royal Palace! It’s a big damn problem!!」

「I-I-I’m sorry…」

The silver cup in Duke Grenjido’s hand was crushed. The water inside the cup leaked out. It turned pink due to the bleeding from the Duke’s hand.

「…Is Victor safe?」

「Huh?」

「I’m asking if Earl Sillys is safe.」

「B-But, of course– Ah, no, he was slightly injured because of the scuffle with the intruder.」

「…………」

「Y-Your Majesty?」

The captain looked at Grenjido with fearful eyes when he stood up without saying anything. But he left the room without saying anything.

His destination was the building where Earl Sillys was at.

「Victor.」

「!!…Your Majesty. I apologize for displaying an unseemly sight.」

Earl Sillys was naked from waist up, being healed with【Healing Magic】by a priest.

Although he had been healed with magic, the wound remained red.

In truth, this wound was self-inflicted by the Earl. Zerry’s blood stained the floor when she fought with the intruder. The soldiers arrived before the Earl could wipe it off, so he hurriedly cut his own arm with a knife.

「How can I help, Your Majesty? Regarding the progress of the plan… I apologize. I could hardly work yesterday due to the intrusion.」

「Rest.」

「……Huh?」

「Rest today. Taking care of your body is also important.」

The Earl thought he had misheard.

Grenjido’s head should be affixed to the “goddess”. He shouldn’t even be worrying about the Earl’s health.

Grenjido was not lying. The Earl confirmed it with the “Magic Eye of Inquire”.

「I will double the security in this place. Sleep with peace of mind.」

「Y-Yes… I understand.」

Blood was dripping from Grenjido’s hand.

「Your Majesty, your hand is injured.」

「Ah? …Oh, it’s not a big deal.」

「I shall heal it.」

The priest who came to treat the Earl now used【Healing Magic】on Grenjido.

「Your Majesty, have you not been sleeping well lately? Please don’t overdo it.」the priest said.

「I know.」

Grenjido replied with a bitter face. It was the first time the Earl realized that Grenjido is sleepless.

(Are you suffering, Grenjido?)

The Earl suddenly came up with a theory.

(It must have been very stressful to drive out his daughter and retake the title of Holy King. In addition, his sworn friend, Border Earl Mule, also left the Holy City.)

The Border Earl and Grenjido quarreled with each other numerous times and almost ended up fighting before the Border Earl finally returned to his territory with his daughter Mira.

The Border Earl seemed to be under the impression that Grenjido would never exile his own daughter, but he was mistaken. Grenjido went out of control with every passing day.

Under such circumstances, Earl Sillys was the only one who was by his side from the beginning.

(Just perhaps… this might be an opportunity to get back his sanity.)

Insomnia and stress was causing “blind faith” to peel off.

How can the Earl bring out Grenjido’s true character?

「Your Majesty. Your Majesty.」

A messenger rushed towards them.

「This is an urgent message! It seems that a monster outbreak has occurred in the 5th, 6th, and 7th blocks.」

「…What? The monsters from the “World Union” have already been exterminated.」

「But there seems to have been some leftovers…」

「Tsk. How are they responding?」

「The guards have moved, but their numbers are not enough to subjugate all of the monsters. If the knights are ordered to move, we can still–」

「…I will only move the knights after understanding the situation.」

「Yes, sir. It seems that the Adventurer’s Guild is moving voluntarily at the moment.」

The Earl was surprised at the word “adventurer”, but Grenjido didn’t notice it.

「Okay. Against monsters, the Adventurer’s Guild would be the best choice. Get the guild to move, even if you have to spend money.」

「Yes, sir!」

The messenger galloped away on his horse.

「Victor. I’m sorry, I know I just told you to rest, but…」

「I understand. I will make efforts to find out the cause and deal with the problem.」

「Thanks.」
