Chapter 253
Chapter 253 - Let's Choose an Occupation
「If the son/father of my companions were executed because of a few words to me, it would be too nightmarish . Rather, it would be traumatic . 」
Due to Kazane's teary eyed words, Jiraid was immediately released from prison and returned to his original position . At that time, Kazane had no choice but to persuade the dragons as the God Dragon Empress, and the dragons were deeply moved by her devoted attitude, saying「What a gentle Empress-sama . 」
◎ Capital City Deer South, Archduke Castle Malfoy, Visiting Room
「The problem is settled with this . 」
That was said by a slender man . Based on his appearance, he was younger than 30 . . . but he was actually older than Jinrai .
God Spear『Gungnir』, one of the strongest spears even in Zexiaharts, was leaning against the sofa the man was sitting on .
The man's name was Rynox Kurau Hyvern . In other words, the Archduke of Hyvern .
「Hmph . It certainly seems so, but I can't approve of using our leader like that . 」
Jinrai was sitting across from the Archduke .
Only Rynox and Jinrai were in the room right now . Therefore, the two set aside their positions in this place and conversed as ordinary acquaintances .
One day had already passed since Jiraid was taken out of prison .
Several procedures were followed during that time . Jiraid was reinstated as general and had a secret audience with the God Dragon Empress . After all the processing was finished, Jinrai was able to meet with Rynox at noon the following day .
Rynox was smiling happily at having a reunion with his friend after a long time as he looked at Jinrai .
「That couldn't be helped . Regardless of the truth, the only way to smoothly settle Jiraid's matter was to have Kazane-sama convince the dragons herself . 」
Jinrai understood what Rynox was trying to say .
Hyvern's dragon mounts didn't serve Hyvern Dukedom or Archduke Rynox, but God Dragon Emperor Naga . Of course, many dragons respected Jiraid as leader of the Dragon Knights, but they were devoted to Naga . And that was true for not only the dragon mounts, but the Dragon Knights as well .
It was also undeniable that, as always in the world of human beings, there were people who would use any tool available to kick down Jiraid, either to aim for the general position or out of dislike for the Barnes family .
「And there were signs that Jiraid was liable to resign from the position himself before people started making objections . So I took measures immediately to prevent him or any third parties from taking arbitrary action . 」
As Rynox said, Jiraid was prepared to take responsibility . He was a loyal man, and although he was stubborn and inflexible, his subordinates deeply trusted him, and he was a capable knight . Rynox didn't want to let go of such a talented person . That's why Rynox immediately took action . So the chain of events that led to his imprisonment was done by Rynox, the man before Jinrai .
Because it was the Archduke's decision, no one was allowed to interject . Only a person with a position higher than Rynox could pardon Jiraid and settle the issue, which was his plan from the the beginning . Jinrai also understood that .
「Well, I'm thankful for your accommodation towards my son . 」
The gaze of the man became stronger after Jinrai's words .
「I don't need your thanks . I simply did it because I need Jiraid . I did something unpardonable to Kazane-sama, but she also acted of her own will . 」
「Hmph . 」
Even though she didn't want to act according to her position, Kazane voluntarily acted as the God Dragon Empress for this matter .
Doing so was intolerable for Kazane, but she couldn't leave Jiraid alone, so she had to deal with it in the end . Kazane did it of her own impetus, but it was as if the God Dragon Emperor had acquitted Jiraid himself, so Rynox's choice was correct .
「Well, my son did a stupid thing because I didn't act properly, so this is like the bill for that . 」
「No matter the impetus, the rude actions were Jiraid's problem . There's nothing for you to say . 」
Jinrai sighed at his friend's usual attitude . From long ago, he was a man who talked as if he had seen through everything, and it seemed that hadn't changed .
Rynox was Cindy's cousin and Louise's grandson . Rynox's mother was also an elf, so he still seemed to be about 30 years old . His appearance was practically unchanged since the first time Jinrai had met him . Though Jinrai was now similar .
「However, I've often told you that you've aged, but you've become young . . . that's the first time I've said that . 」
Rynox said that as he scrutinized Jinrai . If Rynox remembered correctly, he should be about to turn 60, but now he looked like he was in his mid-30 .
「Various things happened . Thanks to that, it seems I'll be able to win against you today . 」
「Don't be absurd . 」
As Jinrai rose to his feet, Rynox also stood and grabbed the Holy Spear Gungnir beside him . The previous time, they didn't have a bout due to the compound fractures caused by Cindy, but this was something that happened every time Jinrai returned to this city .
