Chapter: 55
"...Did you just say Vice-Captain?"
-Huh?
-Leon noona?
-Is this for real?
-From today onwards, I consider Henry's enemies my enemies.
ntioning Vice-Captain Leon's na was a shock to everyone. Hanbit, on behalf of everyone who was speechless, asked, "I understand that the Royal Knights are one of the top powers in the Raven Kingdom. You have a promise from their Vice-Captain?"
"When William's execution was carried out, the Royal Knights also ca to Edlen. And at that ti, Leon, who was a low-ranking knight, was the only one who expressed doubts."
The accusation that the lord of a city was a collaborator with the Holy Kingdom was a matter of national security. It was natural for the Royal Knights to investigate under the king's order.
"Leon doubted the circumstances, testimonies, and evidence, which all fit together too perfectly. Even though she wasn't in a position to lend weight to her words, she continued to raise objections to her superiors until she was punished for insubordination."
-As expected of Leon.
-Sense of justice GOAT
-FYI: She's insanely strong.
-She went up against her superiors and beca Vice-Captain with her skills. lol
Leon's character could be described in a single word: Justice. She never compromised her beliefs, no matter the situation, even if the opponent was the king.
For example, even at the mont of her execution for defending a falsely accused rebel army, Leon's eyes shone with unwavering conviction. That's why she was also one of the most trustworthy figures in this world.
"What kind of promise did you receive?"
"A month after William was executed, Leon, disguised as an adventurer, ca to . She asked to contact her whenever any suspicious circumstances arose."
"...And she rose to the position of Vice-Captain in that ti?" Cowen said with admiration in his voice.
The position of Vice-Captain required at least 20 years of experience. To achieve that in less than seven years ant she was no ordinary individual.
"She will be a great help to us. With this evidence, it will even be reported to the royal court."
Henry was completely different from how he was at the beginning. Clearing William's na and returning the surviving Liventia to her rightful place... In the process, the punishnt of Barres and Brook would naturally follow.
"Liventia, what is it that you desire?"
Henry lowered his posture and t Lia's eyes. He wanted to fulfill his own wishes and William's will, but the most important thing was the will of the girl who had survived until now.
"I..."
Lia looked down at her ring. A mont later, she raised her head and said with a determined expression, "I want to prove that Dad didn't commit any cris."
"...Is that so."
No further words were needed. Henry nodded and turned his gaze to everyone.
"I will go to the royal capital. I happen to have business there, so I won't be suspected imdiately."
"Will you be alright?"
"Whether I'm alright or not isn't important. We need to deploy people in the right places at the right ti. You all, write a petition regarding William's case right now."
At Henry's instruction, the forr vassals took the parchnt and quill pens that were set aside and began to write. Clearing their unjustly accused lord's na was their lifelong wish, so their sincerity was poured into the petition.
"Understood. I have a magic tool for transportation, so I'll try to reduce the travel ti to the royal capital as much as possible. We will stay here and obtain the remaining evidence."
"Remaining evidence? You an there's more?"
"There was this note along with the blueprints in the workshop."
Cowen handed over the rest of the materials from the workshop. Henry, receiving them, imdiately checked the contents of the note.
