Chapter 144

Ah, urgh! Albus groaned.

As he pathetically rolled on the ground, he looked far from the authority which he had talked so passionately about. However, nobody pitied him.

Lubella and Weig shared a conversation calmly.

It seems like we have our answer.

Yes, certainly.

The Crown Prince quickly ordered Albus arrest. His face had a hint of bitterness since he firmly believed that Albus had jumped out to save him.

The King said, It seems liked your heart is troubled.

Father.

This is what power does to people. Once you become king, things will only get worse. As someone who had sat on the throne for decades and seen all kinds of people, the King said with both severity and bitterness, These are things you will have to overcome.

Albus was dragged off. With Zichs strong punch, his jaw dangled from his face as his bones had been shattered into pieces.

Dont be disappointed since you will surely make real relationships as well. From time to time, interesting guys like him will pop out. The Kings eyes rested on Zich, and the Crown Prince also stared at him.

Is everything over?

Yes, everything is over, Your Highness, Zich answered, and the Crown Prince stepped forward.

Okay Zich Steelwallno, you said you were just Zich. Now that I think about it, I remember seeing you a couple of times when you were young. The Crown Prince faintly recalled Zich following behind Count Steelwall when Zich was young.

Your personality seems to have changed greatly. Werent you on the calmer side before?

Many things happened, Zich replied with a grin.

Thats fine. People change. Im sure solving this case takes precedence over wondering how you changed so much.

It is just as you say, Your Highness.

At that moment, Albus shrieked as he was getting dragged away. You z-zamn baztwaaard!

At Albus vengeful words drenched with anger and rage, Zich turned back to Albus with a brighter complexion.

Albus continued to shout, You awted like zem and maze a twap! You baztward!

Shut it!

Punch!

Although Albus tried to desperately move his crushed jaw to let out curses, the knight dragging Albus struck him with a sword. For his own sake, Albus shouldve peacefully let himself get dragged off.

Since you believed and followed those robed figures so much, I can completely understand why youre so furious that I acted like those robed guys. Sadly, you missed your timing to get angry by a lot.

Hans approached Zich and handed him a robe; then, Zich put that robe over himself. When he covered his face fully, Zich looked just like the robed figures Albus had collaborated with.

Albus Windpool. Zich pressed down his throat and let out a deep and rough voice. Albus eyes widened at the familiar voice.

You didnt keep your side of the contract. Take responsibility, Albus Windpool.

!!!

I have come up with a new plan. You must not fail me this time, Albus Windpool.

!!!!

Write the records of how you controlled Evelyn Rouge. As a reward, I will kill five people at your request, Albus Windpool.

!!!!!!

As Albus looked at him with wide eyes and a face full of despair, Zich took off his robe and said cheerfully, I actually killed all those robed figures you worked with at the lake outside the capital. The accomplice you met after Lady Rouges escape was all me in disguise.

To corner Albus into his final trap, Zich told Evelyn to not tell Albus that all the robed figures who appeared in the lake were dead. Thus, this was Albus first time hearing that all of his accomplices were dead.

Ugh, uhahhhhhhh! Ahh! Ahhhhhh! Albus let out something between a human and a beasts shriek.

He looked like he wanted to immediately dash towards Zich, but a knight locked both of his arms and secured him strongly. However, he didnt get struck by a sword this time. The knights and soldiers stood petrified as they stared at Zich who was gleefully pointing his fingers and laughing at Albus.

The Crown Prince said carefully, Saint.

You dont have to tell me, Your Highness. You probably want to ask me the standard for choosing Karuwimans Honorary Holy Knight, right?

I assure you that I am not saying this in the hope of diminishing Karuwimans prestige or honor.

Its fine, Your Highness. Anyone would have wondered the same thing if they saw this sight in front of them. Lubella grabbed her head and began to explain, Yes, its certainly true that Mr. Zich is a sadist with a nasty temper and a terrible personality.

I didnt go to that extent.

Was everyone in Karuwiman like this these days? The Crown Prince thought about the Saints rough way of speaking and saw Weig laugh loudly next to her.

Lubella continued, Nonetheless, he wont direct his true nature to good and innocent people. He will only direct his sadistic side to evildoers. Besides, he wants to and actually does kind acts. Like I mentioned before, he has done Karuwiman a great favor
