Chapter 345
Grid accepted Lauel’s advice and nodded .
–I’m convinced . Then let’s handle Prince Ren .
Grid’s black eyes that were filled with anger slowly calmed down . He learned from watching Huroi and Lauel . He thought carefully before opening his mouth .
“Prince Ren, let me ask you one thing . The fact that you invaded Reidan means that something happened to the king?”
‘He is too clever . ’
Grid saw through his tricks and neutralized them . Those black eyes . They gave the illusion that they could see through everything . It was hard to believe that Grid didn’t come from noble birth .
Prince Ren felt awe as he gulped and nodded .
“Yes . The life of the king is running out and I had to strike at you in order to safely succeed the throne . ”
Prince Ren replied . His face once again distorted with rage and resentment .
“You…! If you had just pledged allegiance to the royal family and not just the king on that day! I wouldn’t have chosen such an extreme method!”
It wasn’t a simple matter of transferring responsibility . Prince Ren exposed himself to Grid . The position that Prince Ren was in, it was all as Lauel intended . Lauel had a wicked smile on his face .
‘Your extreme choice has weakened the royal family’s power and raised Grid’s position . ’
‘That Lauel . ’
Grid got goosebumps at Lauel’s smiling face . Smart guys were too frightening .
“Hrmm… As you said, I swore allegiance to the king . ”
Grid read the wider political perspective . He suppressed his trivial rage towards Prince Ren .
“I, Grid Reidan du Steim have decided . Prince Ren tried to shake my foundation by invading, but Prince Ren is also the king’s successor and the pillar of the Eternal Kingdom . As your servant, I will forgive the prince’s sins . ”
“…!”
The eyes of Prince Ren and the royal army widened . Grid was treating the prince with disrespect, but that wasn’t the problem right now . Forgive the sins . This meant no responsibility would be held . Such great mercy was unheard of .
Prince Ren couldn’t believe it and asked again, “Just before, you gave me the death penalty…! Why are you suddenly eliminating my sin? What absurd thing are you trying to do?”
Grid’s eyes became flat .
“Why are you having a conniption when I’m giving you a break?”
Grid eventually revealed his true nature due to Prince Ren’s attitude . Lauel shook his head and glanced at Bunny Bunny . This scene was meant to be edited . The quick-witted Bunny Bunny immediately nodded .
Grid spoke again, “I’ll let it go . You’re the successor to the king who I swore allegiance to . In order to maintain my loyalty to the king and to suppress chaos in the Eternal Kingdom, I will let it go, you jerk . ”
“Why…? Why would you make such a decision…?”
Prince Ren was thrilled after realizing that Grid’s heart was as wide as the sea . He felt guilty .
‘Whatever the reason, I tried to destroy Duke Grid . ’
The fact that he was forgiven…
Prince Ren was deeply moved as he spoke .
“I, 1st Prince Ren of the Eternal Kingdom, make this pledge . Duke Grid, sacrificing yourself to forgive this sinner for the sake of the kingdom… I will never forget this and spend the rest of my life paying it back . ”
“Don’t stab me in the back . ”
Grid grumbled and rose from his seat . Then the 1,000 Reidan troops and 500 surviving northern troops stood on his left and right . It was truly spectacular . He was certainly one of the top users among the two billion users .
‘Everyone starts the game on equal terms . ’
However, while some people were still wrestling with orcs, Grid became the duke of a kingdom and reigned over thousands of soldiers . He was truly a great person . Bunny Bunny’s gaze was filled with envy as he looked at Grid…
‘Now I see that he is a good person . ’
After using Blackening, Grid’s eyes became completely black and he turned pale . The distinct tones gave him the illusion of being handsome . He appeared very well on the screen . Still, it was no comparison to the ‘white-haired Grid version,’ which once made women around the world feel thrilled .
“Then I will leave now . ”
Bunny Bunny captured Grid’s image . He had no regrets . The army withdrew from the barracks and returned to Reidan . The last thing he saw before leaving was Chucksley, who was mixed in among the royal army survivors .
Chucksley vowed .
‘A hero of the kingdom who has a wide range of skills . ’
He was deeply grateful that his prince was forgiven .
‘I swear that the Lokan family will honor you and your family forever . ’
It originally should be like this . Grid was the kingdom’s hero . However, Prince Ren and Chucksley forgot this fact while they were busy being defensive, so they truly felt guilty .
***
“I am thankful that my life is spared, but… It’s bittersweet . Now I’m completely out of the line of succession . ”
There weren’t even 1,000 royal troops left . Out of 7,000 troops, he lost more than 6,000 . In addition, he lost 24 Silver Dragons, 39 knights, Ferrell, and Andu . Due to this war, the forces supporting the royal family were hit hard, so he couldn’t avoid taking responsibility . He would be pushed down the line of succession and probably disciplined .
“The blood of the royal family is more precious than any other gem . Your Highness was able to keep your life, so that’s enough . In addition, it’s a big achievement that you confirmed Duke Grid’s loyalty to the royal family .
Chucksley reassured him as much as possible . Prince Ren was grateful that he always served the royal family with a great heart .
“Let’s hurry . I have to stay by Father’s side when it is the end . ”
King Wiesbaden had less than a week left to live . Prince Ren’s sin would be heavier if he wasn’t by his father’s side . Prince Ren and Chucksley hastened their pace with an impatient mind, when two men appeared in front of them .
One was Eternal’s 2nd Prince, Aslan, while the other one was covered in robes and unidentified .
“Aslan? Why are you here?”
Prince Ren was confused by his brother’s unexpected appearance .
“I was sure that Brother would be defeated . Did you really think you could defeat the legendary Duke Grid with just an army of 7,000? A legend isn’t someone who can be hurt by a soldier . The royal family doesn’t yet have the power to oppose Duke Grid . ”
“…I’m sorry . I was overwhelmed by my anxiety, dealing a big blow to the royal family . ”
“No . You don’t have to apologize to me . Rather, I’m thankful to Brother . Why do you think I didn’t stop you, despite foreseeing your defeat?”
