Raidorl’s fist slamd into the table. The simple wooden table was split in half from the middle.
“You’ve got to be kidding !! You can’t just falsely accuse people!”
It was a rage that ca from the depths of his soul.
Raidorl was banished to the frontier because he was chosen in the first place to be the wielder of the holy sword Dáinsleif.
And yet, the very people who banished him are now telling him to co back because they need the power of the Holy Sword. The selfishness of the argunt was not very emotional.
“What do you think you’re doing with my life? I’m not a puppet for you to move as you please!”
“Your Highness! Please calm down!”
As Raidorl reaches for the hilt of his sword, rtina’s guards rush to stop him.
However, the knight, who had stepped forward to hold Raidorl from the right, was hit in the throat by a blindingly fast punch.
“Fuck!”
“Shut the fuck up! Or you want to get yourself killed?”
“…!”
Two knights are guarding rtina. One of them was hit in the throat and fell on his back. The other one was struck with a fierce murderous intent and stood frozen in place.
The knight guards are well-trained and not weak at all. Even so, with the current Raidorl, who has gained a lot of practical experience in the pioneer city, he has the skill to slaughter anyone with his bare hands.
And even more so if it was rtina, a noblewoman. He would be able to choke that thin neck with one hand and take life out of it like a chicken.
Raidorl makes sure that the two guards are silent and grips the hilt of his sword with his right hand.
“rtina……answer with all honesty in your heart. Are you asking to fight?? Do you want to risk my life to fight for you and the people who drove from Royal Capital?”
“Your Highness, ……, please calm your mind. This is for your own good.”
“Houu…care to explain? Explain it while I’m still able to contain my anger”.
While being glared at by Raidorl. rtina’s eyes never blink as she looks up at her angry childhood friend.
Raidorl’s head cooled slightly as he saw her lips tighten in determination.
“His Majesty the King has said that he will grant any wish you have, as long as you stand on the battlefield as the holder of the Holy Sword. Not only will you regain your royal status, but you will also have a more favourable domain that is not located in such a remote area.”
“Ha, no way!”
Five years ago, this would have been a suggestion that would have been taken seriously, but unfortunately for Raidorl, it has no appeal whatsoever.
Raidorl had already made the frontier city his new ho and had no desire to return to the capital. He had no desire to return to Royal Capital, let alone be transferred to another territory.
“If that’s all you have to say, I wish you’d leave.? How dare you call a man’s territory ‘a remote area’?”
“I didn’t an it like that, but …… would you really not like to go back to King’s Landing?”
“Get out of here while I can still reason with you!”
“Oh well,…..that’s just the way it is.”
rtina casts her eyes down and sighs in resignation.
Raidorl sniffs and goes to open the door to ask her to leave, but as he peels his eyes away when he sees what looks like a jewel that rtina has taken out of nowhere.
“You ……!”
“I hate to do this, but I’m going to have to restrain your …… highness.”
“Damn ……!”
rtina is holding a red pearl in her hand. It was an advanced magic item that could be a trap and activated by a ti delay.
In rtina’s hand, the red pearl shatters into pieces.
A chain sprang from the jewel like a snake from its burrow and wrapped itself around Raidorl’s body, binding him.
