Episode 701 The Royal Family’s Enmity (7)
An uproar broke out in the royal castle.
“I heard that the demonic cult members tried to harm the state guest.”
“Tsk tsk, you’re digging my own grave.”
Rumors were enough to cause waves.
Even if it is not, the public sentiment of the Demonic Church is not good.
In addition, when rumors circulated that he almost killed a guest of the kingdom, even those who had maintained neutrality turned their backs.
* * *
There were numerous flags embroidered in the Daejeon.
From the flag of the top of the top ten, to the flag of each noble family.
In the capital, all those who claim to use their strength have gathered.
It was King Greyman who did not allow any audience, but when he heard the news about the Demonic Cult, he attended the meeting for some reason.
The red-haired man, who reached down to his shoulders, narrowed his forehead.
“Let’s see, let’s see, now you’re laying your hands on a state guest! This is clearly disrespectful to the royal family! We must set an example and punish severely!”
At his words, the other nobles also nodded.
“You have definitely crossed the line. Although it was a problem that the bishop and priest were at stake, he will have to pay the price for playing with his hands.”
Originally, there was no desire to reject the means of integrating public sentiment.
However, soon after, the Royal Capital branch of the satellite bridge will be established.
Instead of the Demonic Church, which had lost support from the people, it was enough to establish a new relationship with the Satellite Church.
Since there was nothing to regret, most of the nobles’ opinions were the same.
Then, the leading aristocrats of the Chosen People faction objected.
“It must be their fault for trying to lay a hand on the state guest. However, bringing the matter to the entire Demonic Church would be a handshake.”
“It has been several years since the Demonic Church established itself in the capital. There are still plenty of merchants that have contracts with you, but if you carelessly break ties, no one will want to do business with Gleiman in the future.”
Hector, the top lord of the Geel Company, raised their hand.
“I think so too. You can’t ignore a promise. It might shake the confidence of the business from Greyman.”
It is easy to reject the Demonic Church once it has happened.
However, if he did so, there was a risk that other countries would look down on Gleiman, who recklessly canceled the contract and drove out the Demonic Cult.
King Gleiman, who had been quietly listening to their conversation, spoke solemnly.
“In Jim’s opinion, this was terribly wrong. The Demonic Church will be severely punished for its sins, but it will be given an ample reprieve. Do you have any objections?”
Serious eyes scanning the crowd.
It wasn’t like he had taken a step back and looked at it with his hands behind his back.
A benevolent yet unforgettable atmosphere.
He has obviously changed.
Even the aristocrats, who tried to argue, became dumb due to the strong momentum like the king’s mountain.
As his son-in-law fell silent, King Gleiman nodded slightly and cleared his seat.
“This agenda ends with this. Organize a team to apologize to the honored guest.”
To that, Philia replied.
“Even if it’s not, I called the knights who were in charge of security last night.”
“You should no longer show the shame of this kingdom.”
“Yes, I will take responsibility and do my best.”
When the monarch of a kingdom and the master of the 6th circle, who was said to have reached the limit in magic, came out in such a low position, the common people’s aristocrats looked at him in wonder.
Even though they are the royal guests of the kingdom, there is no need to confirm even when the king issues an order.
But why is he grunting and fidgeting like a dog in need of shit?
‘I wonder who the honored guest really is.’
‘There’s nothing wrong with knowing.’
When it comes to common people aristocrats, most of them were commoners, led by Hector of Gere.
Even if it wasn’t, they had a feeling of being pushed by the aristocrats of the electorate, and their attention was focused on the distinguished guest whom they didn’t even know their face.

As the morning dawned, Ray washed his face and went straight out.
“Hey, the weather is good.”
As the sun shines brightly, the mood is also clear.
I was walking toward the garden, enjoying the fresh air, but in the distance, knights dressed in half-plate armor were patrolling.
What kind of group did you go around while patrolling the royal castle?
Did something happen?
I was about to pass by quietly, leaving my doubts behind, but the leader of the knights in the lead shouted loudly.
“All attention!”
Remedy-!
chuck-!
The sound of plate armor rubbing resonated pleasantly.
The captain of the knights got down on one knee with an angular movement.
Then, the knights also lowered their bodies.
“Why are you doing this?”
Embarrassed by the sudden situation, Ray took a few steps back.
Then, behind the knights, Filia, dressed in formal attire, walked.
“Air hand.”
A strong wind blows away the dust.
The previously clean road was no longer a speck of dust.
Philia, who had been walking along, bent one knee like the knights.
“Your Majesty, Prince Soleil, I apologize for the unfortunate incident that happened yesterday. Please forgive me…”
As she sang, the knights bowed their heads and shouted.
“Forgive me!”
“Forgive me!”
jjang jjeol-!
When he shouted with mana in his voice in the middle of the streets of the royal capital, the aftermath was no joke.
Not only the servants who were washing clothes at the well, but even the guards who were on guard look at what is going on.
When their eyes met, he was hurriedly startled and fell to his knees, but he was the only person standing nearby.
Why is the royal family doing this?
Could it be that you didn’t like the magic tools you made?
If not, why openly give people side from morning!
The knights slammed their heads to the ground this time, perhaps thinking that they were lacking in sincerity as they were unable to say anything with their mouths open due to their dumbfounded eyes.
coo-!
It was so big that I wondered if the skull would be intact.
“Please forgive me!”
“Forgive me!”
They asked for forgiveness louder than before.
Ray, whose hearing is extremely sensitive, could hear the conversations of the attendants in low voices behind him.
“What the hell happened to the knights begging you like that?”
“When did aristocrats accuse people with reasons? Didn’t he tell you to dispose of the king?”
“Ah, so that’s how it came to be? It is not an easy job to be a knight.”
Hearing that sound makes my face turn red even more.
He hurriedly approached Philia and the knight commander and said.
“Oh come on, stand up!”
“I can’t! We deserve to be punished!”
“That’s right! Rebuke us for our mistakes!”
They weren’t masochists, and they were clamoring for punishment from each other, so I couldn’t be this embarrassed.
If I had known this would happen, I would have suppressed it without making a fuss!
Even if I regretted it, it was already too late.
The knights were on their knees, showing no signs of standing up, and when they did, the sound of clicking the tongues of the attendants could be heard in their ears.
It’s very crazy when things like this happen.
You can’t force it to rise!
Doing so would only have the opposite effect!
Ray gave a helping look to Philia, who seemed to be able to communicate at least.
Then she slurped and dismissed lightly.
“It is the order of His Majesty the King.”
You mean the king gave the order himself?
So you’ve ordered me to give you a dog side since morning, right?
Thanks to spending the night with a mat in the garden for a while, he had a strong impression of being an eccentric among the workers, but the image of a brute harassing the knights was added to it.
It was too late to make a good impression.
With that thought, the weight of the title on his shoulders also faded.
“Okay then I will punish you. stand up.”
flinch-!
The knights noticed each other at his voice.
“Oh, the prince’s order doesn’t sound like words, right?
“Oh no!”
Remedy-!
The knights who had their heads on the floor stood up at once.
Thanks to them, now Ray’s eyes are gone.
“Because of your insignificant ability, I almost died last night. Are you aware of that fact?”
“I’m sorry! Please forgive me!”
“Forgiveness? Would you be able to forgive me? There was a knife in my throat, you bastard!”
In fact, it is not a body that will split even if it is cut several times with a knife.
On the contrary, his body went through too many evolutions to be able to inflict wounds with a pure sword that had no aura.
All he had now was anger.
he said in a fit of evil.
“Get down! Won’t you lie down? Shall I lie down instead?”
“Sorry!”
The head of the knights, who was dizzy, prostrated himself while wearing plate armor.
The knights under him also naturally fell down.
After looking hesitantly, Ray winked at Philia, who was about to fall to the side.
It meant that you lay down next to me too.
“Your Majesty the late Prince… I’m a wizard unlike them, so how can I be frivolous…”
“Aren’t wizards without arms?”
“… I take orders.”
Philia also prostrated herself next to the knight commander.
where did you cut it
Lei said while moving between the knights while holding a wooden club that seemed quite plausible.
“Can a knight kneel anywhere! This is your discipline problem! I will make sure that that discipline is today!”
“Sorry!”
“I’m sorry is prohibited from now on! Replace with thank you!”
Baka-!
Holding a club, Ray hit the knight in front of him with all his might.
The skill was so good that the armor was meaningless as it accurately hit between the joints of the plate armor.
“Aagh! thank you!”
“This instructor is satisfied! next!”
Bahah-!
“Aaaaaagh! Big! thank you!”
“thank you! Aagh!”
For a while, the castle was filled with the mournful screams of the knights.
Due to this event, later recorded as the ‘Saint’s Rebellion’, a new Knights’ Order was created in the Kingdom of Gleiman to guard only the annex where the distinguished guests stayed.
