Swordsman Runes

Part 43's

I returned to the fortress, after a day of flying I arrived also in my room. I opened a letter from the king

- For Commander Josh

I have received your letter, only that all the charges have no evidence except for the soldiers who did escape.

It's just that the situation incriminates you by stating you sacrificed almost all of the relief soldiers for bait

Plus the evidence of corruption is unclear and has many loopholes. But I can be sure to better watch over the Racantry duke, for the matter of the relief forces not helping at all, will be sent orders to help the other battlefields,

for the matter of Commander Rodigur you accept we need to talk further

For an additional return to the capital in a month. Your coronation to get the title is about to end as well as your wedding ceremony

from your king Khiles von Voldigur

I guess it's lucky to be still in the calculation. Because the king could not hold a trial due to lack of evidence.

All the king could do was strictly watch over the duke himself. After that there was almost nothing special for 1 week.

I noticed the development going smoothly, conversing with Mia for her to open her heart, hearing the complaints of the spoiled nobles. I also sent almost all of my soldiers to the storage warehouse under the pretext of patrolling.

Leave 30% here. This made the nobles feel I was ignoring them.

After that nothing interesting happened and everything went well. Until the letter of repatriation from the king came for the nobles.

Forcing them to leave immediately

It's time to return to the capital, I leave Sirus, and Lusar is here while the rest of you come with me with 100 soldiers back to the capital.

We passed through the dwarf tunnel in order to arrive first, I also told the king through the letter I sent. That I'll arrive before them

"Is this not a problem?"(Laria) "Why else?"

"No. Just leaving the fort just like that, if Rodigur attacked isn't it all going to fall apart?"((Shemale)

"For a while they won't attack. They've run out of soldiers and commanders. Unless they want to lose faster"

"But what if the prisoners rebel?"(Farel) "For now they will not rebel. Other than no weapons they don't know anything about the fort"

I checked it myself. The prisoners did not know the unique structure of the fort, even Mia did not know.

They were purely just a help that had only been guarding the palace. The journey takes 2 days before arriving at Heath village.

Afterwards we continued our journey to the capital which took 5 days. The notice of my arrival was already known to the king

We were all invited directly by the king to the palace and waited for his coronation ceremony.

I even got a direct invitation to meet the king in the palace garden

Not in the throne room, this shows that the king wants to talk to me on an equal footing not because of rank.

I went to the palace garden, there besides the king were Viscount Rosefield and Valerie as well

"Sincerely to your Majesty"

I bowed my head "You've come. Please sit Josh"(King) "Thank you Your Majesty"

I'm sitting next to Valerie. Because there is no way I can sit next to the king or the Viscount

"Congratulations on your victory in the capture of Mount Monrra"(King)

"Thank you, your majesty"

"Is it true that there are Mithril seeds on the mountain?"(Viscount Rosefield)

"Unfortunately there is no Count"

"That's the rest of the mines for the kingdom of Rodigur. Maybe they've finished off all the Mithril seeds there"

"Then it's a pity yes"(King) "Hamba apologize for that noble" "I heard there are parties who auctioned mithril seeds with units of 1 kg"(Viscount)

"Is that really?"(King) "Yes that's right. The auction was in the kingdom of Vorfill and Margen"(Viscount)

"The two kingdoms were close to the kingdom of Dramons"(King)

"That's right, your majesty. It's just that all this time the kingdom was controlling mithril so tightly that no one knew the form of mithril before it was processed. Moreover, the kingdom always sells mithril in the form of weapons"(Viscount)

"You have a point. What do you think Josh?"(King) "Me?" "Yes. You, after all Miss Rosefield could not be interested in such a mine right"(King)

"It's a pity but it's true that noble"(Valarie) "I'm sorry that this is not so much a noble servant science. It looks like the insiders are like the miners, because only miners can sell mithril in the form of per kilogram"

"The insider huh?"(The King) King looked at me with a probing look. I'm ordinary though I know, I'm suspected.

Other than the kingdom of Rodigur and Dramons indeed only I have the suspicion of smuggling mithril and that is indeed true.

Maybe I should change my way a little later "It's a pity that there is no mithril yes. Though I was curious to see how to mine it"(King)

"Yes, what a pity. If indeed his highness wishes to see his mines, his majesty can come at any time"

The king looked at me suspiciously again. If I say anything without giving such certainty.

Surely the king will suspect me more and more "I still can't believe seeing someone new to the Force but already able to conquer the mountain"(Viscount)

"It's just luck" "It's luck. All the nobles I sent were really lame and weak"(King)

"Ah.. Josh, maybe you can tell me a little bit about your powers and abilities"(Valerie)

"yes too. I was curious after hearing it from Miss Vrambel, after all it was necessary to give you the title"(King)

"Well, if that's a noble wish..."

I told you about me using my force, until the way I won the war against Rodigur

"So you got a disaster?"(King) "You could say that" "Although there is no Mithril I can trust my daughter to you"(Viscount)

"Thank you for your blessing, Mr. Viscount"

But is this what Valerie really wants?

"The plan is next week for your coronation, and the next week will be your wedding. Do you mind?"((Kings)

"As long as Valerie's willing I don't mind her" "Ohh.. Attractively. So how's Miss Rosefield?"(Kings)

"Hamba doesn't mind his majesty"(Valerie)

"Good then. I'm sorry I still have a lot of work to do"(King)

"Force the noble servant has taken up much glorious time" "No problem. It should be my fault for enjoying this conversation. Excuse me first"(King)

The king stood up and left. After that we sat back down, I felt the sofa I sat on was spiked by the Viscount's gaze

"You will be the daughter-in-law of the Rosefield family so watch your actions"(Viscount)

"I understand master" "To be honest I am still not willing to give my daughter to you let alone you ever insult our family"(Viscount)

"Dad. I said it was all my fault"(Valerie) "I understand. But look at your abilities, your actions, and your potential. I decided to bet, I hope you don't disappoint me. Excuse me"(Viscount)

The viscount stood up and left before I could say anything. It really is like a storm
