Chapter 47 (1)
.
For every 2 donation, Ill release an extra chapter the following day.
The meeting was held at the convention center.
Ian and Maeve were seated side by side in the hall, where the smell of blood hadnt completely dissipated.
The gazes of the members were completely different from a few days ago.
Even the king, treated Maeve with respect as if he had never treated her as a madperson.
Maeve showed no change in expression even with the kings courteous words.
She only said what needed to be said.
Ian was the same way.
He submitted evidence, including items from Orundel, such as the evidence related to Marquis Burchard and Mason, and the letter written by Declan.
The king was very satisfied with the contents of the letter.
It seems the new lord of Orundel is very faithful and loyal.
He recognized Declans legitimacy right away and then looked at Ian.
Its written in this letter that your contribution is very significant. It says that you are trustworthy and your abilities are outstanding. You personally beheaded Marquis Burchard?
Yes.
Ian replied calmly.
Even with an impolite attitude, no one sent any condemning glances his way.
That was because he was a hero of the country.
There were even rumors that he was a swordmaster rivaling Maeve.
With a smile, the king added.
As you can see, Agellan needs talented individuals like you. Especially in times when tragedy has swept through and gone. How about living as a noble of Agellan?
It was an offer that couldnt make anyone laugh.
Ill consider it.
Ian shrugged his shoulders and replied.
Anyway, he had to stay in Agellan until his body recovered, so there was no need to add fuel to the fire.
There were still suitable topics to divert the conversation.
Ian pulled out the report about Marquis Burchard and added.
Now, it seems the priority is to identify the remaining corrupt individuals.
Are there still corrupt individuals left?
Ian gestured to the knights who were watching.
He had already been keeping an eye on the corrupt individuals as they entered the meeting room.
The meeting immediately turned into a trial.
Corrupt individuals who hadnt thought their identities would be revealed now stood in a row.
Oh, no! This is a false accusation!
Unjust, unjust, Your Highness!
Please spare me! I merely did as I was told-
The reactions were varied, but the results were all the same.
Soldiers led the corrupt individuals to the execution grounds.
To be prepared for any unforeseen circumstances, knights with drawn swords followed behind them.
Blood was shed once again, but the king was surprisingly satisfied.
Most of the corrupt individuals were those who had claimed to seek peace.
Just like Regis. Even the servants had opposed the war to provoke the kings opposition.
Thanks to that, the remaining meeting ended swiftly.
We have endured a great tragedy. However, we have finally overcome the ordeal and uprooted the darkness of the kingdom. The protection of the radiant goddess and the stern goddess will be clearer than ever for the future of the kingdom.
With Maeve by his side, the king who had ascended the castle walls declared before the gathered people.
From this moment on, Agellan will become a stronger and more loyal kingdom. The kingdoms future will be filled with victory and glory!
Soldiers came out pulling carts loaded with alcohol, grains, and meat.
The cheers of the people who honored the king and the kingdom grew louder.
It was the moment when Agellans future was decided.

Victory and glory, huh? Honestly.
Miguel mumbled while chewing on meat.
The voices of the remaining souls eating and drinking were lively.
Just like the citizens of Agellan, a celebration was also being held in the castle.
Ian, Philip, and Miguel were gathered in a corner of the banquet hall.
Im sure this incident felt like an apparition to His Majesty. The damage isnt as significant as he thought, and all those opposing the war turned out to be corrupt.
Philip muttered bitterly and gulped down his beer.
His gaze toward the king on the dais wasnt respectful.
It was natural. What the king did today was just a formality with a few words. Other than that, it was all about war.
With Ian, who had been with him, he knew very well that now wasnt the time to wage war.
Philips cold gaze turned to Maeve who was sitting beside the king.
She was chewing and swallowing her food with an expressionless look.
Im worried about Sir
Ian, who wasnt paying attention to Philips word, focused mainly on chewing and swallowing the food in front of him.
He needed to replenish his nutrients to recover as quickly as possible.
Sir Ian.
Then, a knight sat down in front of him.
As Philip and Miguel exchanged glances, Ian looked at the knight with a roll of his eyes.
A young member of the knight order, Jonathan.
I wanted to express my gratitude and deliver some words. I also have something to tell you.
What is it?
Ian asked, turning his gaze back to his plate.
Jonathan didnt pay any attention.
In his gaze directed at Ian, there was admiration and awe.
Maeve had said during the meeting that Ian was the one who played the greatest role in executing Regis.
Most of the nobles, of course, and even the king thought that it was an act of compromise on her part.
But some knew it wasnt an exaggeration.
Jonathan was one of those who knew.
When youre in better health, please come back to the castle. As mentioned by His Majesty earlier, there will be a fitting reward for you. And if possible, I would like to serve you then.
Money?
Yes. Also, the armory of the capital will be open to you. They will provide the suitable weapon for you. You can choose whatever you need.
Thats a pleasantly familiar sound to hear.
Ian nodded his head.
Almost all of his equipment had been damaged during the battle with Regis.
The only thing left was the Sword of Condemnation .
Ill eagerly await the day Ican join the Knight Order.
Kimchi stew tastes better.
Ian thought and shrugged his shoulders, and Jonathan added.
If the two heroes of Agellan join forces, victory is surely guaranteed in the upcoming war-
Thud, Philip put down his beer glass loudly at that moment.
Without even looking at Jonathan, who was looking at him, Philip turned to Ian.
Ill head back first, .
Huh? Already leaving?
Miguel raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Philip stood up.
Im worried about you being here alone. My appetite has disappeared too. Ill take care of the house, so enjoy yourselves and come back.
Without looking back, he distanced himself. Miguel clicked his tongue.
Hes become quite surly since I last saw him. Geez, he couldve listened and let it slide with one ear.
Of course, his gaze toward Jonathan wasnt friendly either.
Bastards, its good to have a temper.
Ian shook his head.
Alright, when you are done you can leave
Im on my way already
If there are others who are also interested , dont let them
I will let them know
After bowing politely, Jonathan turned around.
Miguel smirked as he glanced back at him.
You already have a good servant. I understand Philips feelings, but honestly, isnt that a bad suggestion?
Ian smirked sarcastically.
Alright then, if you want to.
Of course, just saying you want to do it is not enough. You have to order it though.
Whether I want to or not.
Well I dont have any deep attachment to the kingdom. Its just
Miguel scratched his chin and spoke after taking a sip of his beer.
Im concerned about you, Sir. And also about Miss Lucia.
So, youre going to stay for their sake?
If you permit it, Sir.
Yeah, sure. With your skills, you might live longer that way.
Miguel glanced at Maeve for a moment.
Arent you worried about her? She seems to have lost all will to live.
Now that theres nothing left to protect. Revenge is over. The remaining goal of her life, she has to find it herself.
I can tell from what youre saying that youre planning to leave, Brother. I expected it though.
Im not saying we should go together, dont worry.
Its not worry, its more like feeling regret. Feeling regret. Sigh.
Miguel, who blew his nose, suddenly looked at Ian.
More importantly, theres something I wanted to tell you.
Again, what is it?
I heard an interesting rumor.
What? on that night?
Miguel lowered his voice.
Theres a rumor that there was a monster fighting with those hunting dogs around the outskirts. It seems the person saved several residents.
A monster?
Its a bit fantastical. From what Ive heard, one was a woman with gray hair and red eyes, and the other was a monster with protruding fangs. Anyway, they were telling people with hopeless lives to stay put.
Miguel had a subtle smile.
If you wait, His Majesty might issue a bounty.
I dont know. If theyve consumed that much blood, they might not show their faces for a while.
Huh? Do you have any idea what that is?
Well, somewhat.
Theyre both killers and victims.
Thinking that, Ian finished his meal.
Because Tessia had been clear about it.
