58. Barely clearing the false accusation (2)
April went into the room for a moment under the pretext of changing clothes and called Regin.
“Sorry. “I made my own decision without consulting anyone.”
“You are the King of this country, His Majesty. “I don’t need to discuss anything.”
“No, because you are my husband.”
April said, kissing her lightly.
“Undermining my husband’s authority is a ploy to ultimately destroy me. They are ignoring me because I became king at a young age. “Everyone is whispering behind her back that she is a woman who was raped by the devil.”
The memories of that terrible day were strangely clouded in my mind.
Something attacked the royal castle and took the lives of the king and his knights.
But no one, including April herself, remembered what it was.
Like a midsummer night’s dream.
It must be a demon.
This couldn’t have happened without someone being so evil.
“Pull out the Regin sword. “Bring out your sword and show everyone that you are chosen by God.”
Regin sighed briefly.
“Why do you think of course I can draw a sword? Many people have tried and failed. “Maybe it’s a sword that can’t be drawn.”
“no. you can do it.”
“On what basis?”
“Regin is my husband and Berol’s father
. “If I wasn’t a warrior chosen by God, I could never have come to this place.”
Regin took her hand and kissed her palm.
“I have been fully rewarded for trusting you so far. It doesn’t matter if I lose everything. But…
he laughed.
“I can’t fail your expectations. “I will definitely pick it out for you.”
Regin took a brisk step and headed out of the castle.
The tent surrounding the rock was removed. Instead, a cloud of
people gathered on the street to act as spectators.
When Regin appeared, not just the entire street, but the entire castle, was in an uproar.
It was natural.
The King’s husband and Leo Paladin.
With just two titles, Regin was worthy of being called the greatest warrior of modern times.
A sword stuck in a rock that suddenly appeared.
and Regin van Holywitsch.
The two beings coexisted in the same physical space called Acoma Castle.
If there is anyone who has not made a connection between the two, he or she
would be a very poor person.
The scene I had secretly anticipated was about to unfold before my eyes.
Everyone gathered there and was excited, predicting the scene ahead.
Meanwhile, as the situation grew bigger than expected, Harilde, the priests of the Holy Emperor, and the nobles of the royal castle were all quite embarrassed.
They hated Regin.
People from poor families rose to prominence and rose above them.
What noble would like that situation? When
Harilde appeared and
made a dent in him, the nobles rejoiced more than anyone else and heated up the grill.
However, Regin’s popularity was higher than expected.
More than it tarnished Regin’s reputation, the scandal enhanced his name.
Cadenza and Oridon were also among the onlookers.
Actually, they were curious too.
Will Regin really become the owner of that sword?
“Can you feel it?”
Cadenza nodded
when Oridon asked .
“I guess I’m not that bad of a prosecutor either.”
“If you don’t feel that, you should put down your sword. It’s a great sword. Demon sword? No… it’s a holy sword, but it’s really violent.”
“Can Regin really draw that sword?”
“Hmm… well. If he were me before the war, I would have voted for it to be impossible, but I don’t know now. “He seems like a completely different person from the previous Regin.”
“Then I guess I can pull it out.”
Regin stood in front of the sword.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, as if ice water had been poured on them.
There is only a fierce conflict between the emotions of those who hope to fail and those who expect success.
The moment Regin saw the sword, he felt a strange feeling.
At first, I didn’t know the identity of that feeling. But after a long time, I realized that it was a feeling of deja vu.
A weapon with an ego.
It was a weapon similar to the main sword and blue dragon that his older brother Zeke had.
I couldn’t say it was that powerful, but
it definitely had the same texture.
I could already hear him whispering.
［Are you Regin?］
［How do you know my name?］
［The person who brought me here whispered your name. I have stayed here to serve you as my master.]
[Who brought you here?]
[Zeke. He used that name.]
[Brother…]
[I want to feel your power.
If my expectations are not met, I will fall into a long sleep again.]
Regin stretched out his hand.
I grabbed the handle. An exhilarating energy like lightning stirred my entire body.
Immediately after that, a gentle light lingered throughout my body.
That power, like an aura, is divine power.
[Balmung That’s your name.]
[This is a sword that Danya Sa (blacksmith) made by burning his own body to fight the demon dragon a long time ago. After that, no one could handle it, so it was called the Demon Sword and was eventually sealed in a rock. However, I
have never been evil.]
[I will use you.]
Regin pulled the sword from the rock.
Balmung fell into Regin’s hands as naturally as when it came out of its sheath, as if it had never been attached from the beginning.
[Break the rock in two with my body. Another treasure is hidden inside.]
Regin struck the rock with his sword.
The rock split like mud. Between them, something that looked like a piece of wood tumbled down. It was none other than Balmung’s sword
sheath.
Cheers erupted at Akoma Castle.
Queen April stood up and whistled.
Regin raised Balmung high.
Although it had a rough appearance, its power was enough to cut rocks like mud, as seen just now.
He put the sword in its scabbard and hung it around his waist.
At that time, a woman came running out of the audience.
“You defrauded the Verde royal family! From the beginning, you guys took this rock and made a play out of it, right
? What a weapon given by God! “There’s no way in the world there’s a sword that no one can pull out!”
She was Harilde.
It seemed like everyone was displeased with everyone chanting for Regin.
“He is a villain! “He is an immoral person who denies his wife and child!”
It was right then.
A man tumbled down to Harilde’s knees.
It felt like someone had thrown it.
The face of the man who fell to the ground was quite beautiful. He must have been an aristocrat from some region, but his clothes were flashy.
The moment she saw him, Harilde’s expression turned earthy.
The scope of change was so great that people around us were rather surprised.
It was a knight who threw the man to the floor.
Most people didn’t know him.
Even Regin had to search through his memories for a while to remember him.
“Aren’t you… Lord Hollygum?”
Katran van Hollygum.
He was none other than Zeke’s follower and heir to the Holy Sword, a famous warrior family in the Isolta region.
“You remember.”
“of course. Didn’t we see each other twice during Terraend and last year’s Crusade?”
Katran nodded with a heavy expression. And then he opened his mouth.
“Do you still hate your brother?”
With his words, the murmur around him stopped.
Regin’s older brother was a black warrior.
Sieg van Hollybitch, the strongest warrior who was corrupted by the witch Signi, the devil’s maid.
Although it was only 11 years ago, it had already become a legend and was being talked about among people.
Regin sighed briefly and shook his head.
“I met him a while ago. A lot of my misunderstandings have been resolved. “The fact that he is a black hero does not change… but he is still my older brother.”
More than just talking, Regin
completely erased his hatred for his brother.
Rather, it was regrettable that we had been forced to separate for so long.
But I couldn’t say that publicly. It will be a nuisance to the new family he and his wife have built.
“That’s a good thing. No matter what you think of him, you are Lord Zeke’s younger brother, whom I respect greatly. “I can’t let you fall for this ridiculous scheme.”
She could understand
what Cadenza’s story had to do with the current situation .
And the man lying on the floor.
After paying respects to the queen, Katran took a step toward Harilde and spoke with sharp eyes.
“Shall I explain who this man is? Or will you drop all charges and swear that you will never appear before Prince Regin?”
Harilde’s face turned white.
My fists were shaking and I glared at the man on the floor with harsh eyes.
The man
scratched the back of his head with a humble expression and avoided eye contact.
Katran told her.
“The reason I am giving you a chance is because you are also a woman born and raised in a family of warriors. The Holly Spindle family has no direct relationship with me, but it is also a family of warriors. My father has always thought of all the warriors in this world as family, and he taught me to do the same. So this is your last chance. Are you leaving? Or should we continue the trial?”
Julius, the chief justice of the Holy Emperor, took a step forward.
“Hollygum’s Katran. The trial is already over. Her child…
Harilde said, lowering her head.
“I’m going to give up on the trial. I give up all rights I have claimed. “I’m leaving here and never coming back.”
With a trembling voice, she turned and disappeared.
The man whom Katrun dragged followed her like a shadow.
The only person here who knew the truth about what was going on was Katran, but contrary to everyone’s expectations,
he kept his mouth shut.
This is how the rare scandal ended.
Regin vaguely wondered if that man was the father of Harilde’s child.
But since Katran decided to keep her secret, Regin also decided to put everything in the past.
April and Regin took their seats and expressed their gratitude to Katran.
Katron politely greeted the Queen and the State Secretary again.
A simple tea party was held. It was a meeting attended only by Regin’s family.
There, Katran asked Regin.
“Do you…do you know where he is now?”
Regin shook his head.
“We haven’t seen each other since we broke up a while ago.”
“ah!”
As the story about Zeke began, Queen April moved to the terrace with her child for a moment.
He left
the room so that Regin could talk comfortably .
Even though they were married, Regin still talked quietly about Zeke.
“I traveled the world wanting to meet him, but his whereabouts are still unknown. Neuekahn appears to have completely collapsed…
“Neuekan has been ruined by giants. Those who survived are now surviving as subordinates of the giants.”
“You were attacked by a giant! Giants
are villains who are in league with demons and are destroying the world.”
“Brother, we are now moving to stop the giant. “To be exact, he is the god of giants.”
“Do giants have gods?”
“yes. “It is also a very powerful being.”
