"Nina bobo .. oh. oh. nina bobo .. otherwise you're bitten by a mosquito."
With an arsenal chest on my back and a three-eye spear in my hand, I sang out loud, letting my voice be heard all over the palace.
Despite singing out loud, only a few people would hear it. Just like when I cleaned up the Fafniari family, Yuan had already sent offers and threats to all the employees and workers in the palace. In fact, the number of guards still in the palace was much less than the Fafniari residence. Because of this, I'm pretty bored.
"You're finally coming, traitor!"
An old man with no hair, Eliot, welcomes me.
I arrived at the hall that used to be used for the inauguration of the battle royale victory. However, within this hall there were no kings, empresses, or royal families. There are only regal knights in this room. And, not only this generation, but also the previous regal knights. It's almost 80 people.
"May I know what you're doing here?"
Supposedly, the truth about me killing the royal family is a very secret thing. Only the intelligence serving me, Agade, and the Emir family know. Beyond that? There ain't! Maybe some of the people who had contact with Fahren knew. However, there is no information that states Fahren was in communication with Regal Knight.
Using the process of elimination, only one person might become a traitor, Rahayu.
"We heard everything from Empress Rahayu. You manipulated the Emir. After killing the empress Rahayu, the Emir, as the last royal family, would be forced back into the palace. And, you, as Emir's husband, will be the one who benefits the most, becoming King of the Bana'an."
"PFFTTT" I gushed. "Haha, haha .. hahahahahaha."
I can't hold my laughter. In fact, I had to duck down and hold my stomach, heartburn. I kept on and kept laughing. Several times I tried to stop, but, a second later, laughter returned.
It's ridiculous! Really ridiculous! I had no idea how these regal knights believed Rahayu's words. I mean, I'm ... shit! I can't think! This laughter that kept coming up broke my concentration. Ahahaha!
"Gin, are you okay?"
"Sorry we're late."
"Huh?"
I, still with my hands holding my stomach and eyes half crying, looked back. Two figures I knew appeared. A smoothed brunette man and a flat-chested woman, Zage and Ufia.
"Ah, a minute ..." I held my breath for a moment. "OKAY. I can finally stop laughing."
All this time, I never cared about regal knights because they were only royal attractions. So, I don't know their fate after the execution of the royal family. Are they just silent? Or what? I don't know. I don't know at all. And again, this royal regal knight was weak, not a threat at all.
There was another reason why the Regal Knight was not a threat. They still hold the code of chivalric ethics. In fact, the moment I was blown away, no one had launched an attack. They just kept quiet, my daughter-in-law finished laughing.
"So, are you on my side?"
"We're on your side."
"Right, we're on your side. And again, it is impossible for a disciple to go against his teacher."
They're helping? Have Yurika and Jeanne met them secretly? The movement of all agents should be monitored. Yeah, I set a plan to keep an eye on Schneider agents and intelligence. And, to add credibility to the information, I also asked Agade, Akadia, and some mercenaries under Jin to conduct surveillance.
"Have they met you?"
Zage and Ufia nodded. They understood that the people I was referring to were Yurika and Jeanne.
If Yurika and Jeanne were in contact with Zage and Ufia, I should have known. Unless they had already reported to Yuan and he decided not to tell me. Yeah, nevermind. I don't bother with this much because the results don't hurt me.
"Thank you for the offer. Your intentions are more than enough. However, I don't need your help."
Zage shakes. "No, Gin. What I mean is let you just shut up. Let us handle them."
"They're just being deceived. After them, you'll be after their families, right?"
Yeah, of course you are. I mean, if the families of these regal knights knew who killed them was me, someday, there would be a family member who wanted revenge. If left unchecked, my life would be disturbed. After the one who targeted me was killed, surely, there was someone else who was trying to get revenge. If this continues, the number of people who want revenge will not be endless.
By performing the purge, all family members who may have had a relationship had already been killed in the first place. So, the possibility of revenge is almost nonexistent.
One might think the cleaning method is an old-fashioned and barbaric way. But just the opposite. In the past, cleaning was the last method to be taken. Wh why? Because, in the past, education was a privilege only obtained by nobles. Commoners had no access to education.
In modern times, commoners have access to the same education as nobles. In other words, everyone has the same basic competencies. And this has resulted in cleaning becoming more common in modern times. If any nobleman makes trouble but does not want to be removed from position, or makes another serious problem, just clean up and then find a commoner to be crowned new nobleman, replacing the cleansed nobleman.
And again, the population at this time is, arguably, very high. So, cleaning can also be an alternative to suppressing the population. Cleaning is the right solution. I'm not a noble or a royal family, but I agree with this.
"So, you want to prevent me from doing the cleaning?"
Ufia and Zage nodded.
"Sorry, but your request was rejected. They were blind people with noble status and noble codes of conduct. Even if you beat them in a 1-on-1 fair fight, how likely are they to listen?"
There's no answer. Zage and Ufia turned their eyes.
"Yes, they won't listen. In fact, if they knew the truth was happening, there was no way they would just let me go, right? You're both lucky they're alive and contacted you. Lf it doesn't? I wouldn't be surprised if you're standing there right now, with these people."
There's still no answer.
"No rebuttal? I'm waiting."
No refutation appeared. Apparently, Ufia and Zage had realized that their efforts would be in vain.
I turned my gaze to the dozens of regal knights who were already kindly waiting. They actually held the code of conduct of knights.
"Information. Normally, I would kill you and clean up your family."
When he heard me, the regal knights widened their eyes. In fact, some had already taken the horses, ready to violate the chivalric code of conduct.
"However, respecting Ufia and Zage, I give you a choice. For those who remain in resistance, after this fight is over, cleaning awaits the families who fight. However, for those who retreat, I will assume you guys have never come to this place, there will be no cleaning. Please be chosen."
