Chapter 124: It Wasn’t That I Gave Up

“Th-there’s no such evidence, but… but I will dedicate myself to working tirelessly for this territory from now on, so please, please have mercy!!”

“Hey, Gald, do you think you can trust the words of someone who has betrayed once?”

“…………”

The eyes of Lord Quist, who said this, were colder than any I had ever seen before, and seeing those eyes, I realized I could not persuade Lord Quist.

However, I had not yet given up on surviving.

If I could kill Lord Quist here and escape from this place, I might still be able to survive.

“I am sorry, Lord Quist, but you will have to die here.”

Saying this, I drew the sword from my waist and tried to strike Lord Quist.

“There’s no way I’ll let that happen, you know?”

But before my sword could reach Lord Quist, both my arms were severed.

“……Y-you…!!”

“Well, it’s surprising that you’re not screaming after having both arms cut off. Also, since I was instructed by Lord Kaiser not to kill you, I’ll administer healing magic to stop the bleeding.”

“As expected of a slave raised by Kaiser!! Not only is your loyalty commendable, but your strength too!! It is almost guaranteed that the Quist family will be safe under your succession!! I’m glad I made a list of the nobles who spoke ill of Kaiser and the slanders they uttered!! Soon, I should be able to use that list to shake them up!! But well done!! I will make sure Kaiser knows of your achievements!!”

“Thank you.”

As I was listening to their conversation, I was suddenly overcome by drowsiness and lost consciousness.

◆Protagonist’s Side

For some reason, I was summoned to the Imperial Castle and called by His Majesty the Emperor to be awarded for uncovering the guard’s corruption last time and bringing it to justice.

Honestly, I wondered why such a thing would warrant a summons, but since the Emperor said so, I couldn’t refuse to go to the Imperial Castle.

“This time, even I had to give a very stern reprimand to His Majesty the Emperor, Kaiser. Thanks to that, all the guards in my territory have been withdrawn, and I have obtained permission to create a militia within the Quist family. The purpose of calling you this time is likely to convey this permission verbally and inform other nobles. There might be those who will suspect and try to incite rebellion, saying that my territory is expelling the guards and forming a militia.”
