Side Story 22. Spider Trap (11)

The emperor's birthday celebration festival was one of the few events in which the emperor made a public appearance. A majority of the occurrences where the emperor left the imperial palace were memorial services due to natural disasters like terrible droughts, floods, or a plague. More rarely, the emperor would also show up if there was an irregular incident, such as the death of an elder in the imperial family.

When Cancer smacked his lips as if it were a pity, his older brother, Capricorn, snorted. "Hmph! Hes just a hound with a leash. Bloody's fame is all from Glont's tactics. Even if hes here, hes not one you need to pay attention to."

Capricorn thought that Bloody's reputation all stemmed from Glonts chessboard. No matter how skilled a knight is at capturing the king, in the end, it's the chess player that did well, not the piece.

Capricorn judged that it was Glont, not Bloody, who they had to be wary of, and
