0.01 Second Sword Master Episode 102

“You only insisted on keeping the royal family alive and rejected Aslan’s new kingdom. Therefore, I will judge you as people of the same royal family and people of this kingdom of Eli.”

Rugal led his knights and invaded the palace home where the people of the royal family lived.

It was to punish those who still claim the supreme power of the royal family, except for those who ardently support Aslan like Rugal.

“Ru, Rugal you bastard!!”

“You betray our royal family! What the hell is Aslan!”

“He is the only light and savior of our kingdom. You who stand in his way are just eating away at this kingdom.”

“this guy!! The King will not let you go!”

“King Libert is already dead.”

“!?”

“I will let you follow that foolish king.”

Rugal cut down the members of the royal family without hesitation.

“Kyaaa!”

“Aww!”

The whole palace was filled with screams.

* * *

“What the hell is this…!”

Horace and Nella, the knight commander, rushed to hear the news of bloodshed in the royal palace.

The two couldn’t help but be surprised to see Libert dead with a knife stuck in his heart.

“What kind of person did this!”

“that is······. As confirmed, he is the captain of the Rugal Knights.”

“Lu, Rugal? Did Prince Rugal really do something like this?”

Rugal is a member of the royal family who is recognized externally.

Since Libert had no children, it was to the point that if he died, it was said that Rugal should take over as the next king.

However, he was faithfully fulfilling the duties of the knight commander, refusing to do the work of the royal family.

Then why did he do such a terrible thing?

“Where is Prince Rugal now?”

“It is said that he led a group of knights and entered the palace where the people of the royal family were.”

There was a reason why the news was so late.

Isn’t Rugal a member of the royal family?

That’s why he was appointed as the commander of the Royal Knights.

In other words, if Rugal made up his mind about what was happening in the royal family and blocked the information, it would take quite a while for it to be known.

“I thought something like this could happen someday, but I never thought that Lord Rugal would do something like this…!”

“Maybe there was some kind of conflict with King Libert?”

“I don’t know. Considering Prince Rugal’s usual behavior, no matter how emotionally turbulent he is, he’s not the kind of person who would commit such a thing. and see Just looking at the trail here, you can tell that this wasn’t an accident. Furthermore, the fact that he led the knights and went to the royal residence…”

It must have been deliberately done.

Since when did Rugal start plotting things like this?

“Now is not the time to be like this. Let’s hurry and chase after Prince Rugal!”

“Yes!”

Nella and Horace led the knights to the royal residence.

“Ahh-“

Horace let out a brief sigh at the smell of blood vibrating from the entrance.

just as expected.

“… you killed them all.”

The inside of the mansion was full of corpses.

And there, they could find Rugal who was stabbing someone to death.

“Lord Rugal!”

At Nella’s cry, Rugal turned his head.

There was not a trace of remorse in his eyes.

He seemed confident, as if his actions were justified.

“You’re welcome, Captain Nella.”

“What the hell are you doing!”

“We ate some of the Kingdom of Eli, and we just punished those who got in the way.”

All of the royal residences were on fire, and there seemed to be no survivors inside.

“They are your family too. But how can you do such a terrible thing! Aren’t you afraid of Rahal, who will watch all this from heaven!”

“Lahalla- huhu.”

Rugal laughed softly and said.

“Rahal’s incarnation is already with us. Who are you afraid of?”

“What, what?”

“Captain Nella. As you all know, I have always tried hard not to reveal my presence. At one time, I also wanted to become a king and lead this country right. That’s why I’ve been secretly drugging and feeding foolish King Libert to prevent him from having offspring.”

“!?”

It was a story I didn’t know at all.

After all, there was a reason why Libert had no children.

“But after seeing Aslan change the crumbling kingdom right in front of my eyes, my thoughts have changed. I am not the vessel to be king. And most of all, I realized that day what I must do for the kingdom I love the most.”

He continued talking as he raised the bloody knife.

“To open His way with blood right on my hands. that was my destiny He knows the pride and honor of a sacred knight. I knew that such a man would never take up his sword and kill them. That is why I have followed my destiny.”

The fate that Rugal speaks of.

It was to make Aslan the king by shedding his own blood instead.

“I have no regrets whatsoever. With this, my destiny has been completed, and the eternal glory of the Kingdom of Eli will shine more brilliantly than ever before.”

Although Rugal seemed insane at first glance, Horace and Nella couldn’t point fingers at him.

It was because he knew that Rugal had done what they had hoped for.

“Now let’s end here. I will leave the end of my fate in your hands.”

“Lord Rugal…”

“Now, take up your sword, Captain Nella. Only when I die will this destiny be completed. I am a mobster who rebelled for the kingship, and you are loyalists who stopped such a mob. It must be so.”

Rugal stood up and approached Nella.

Then Nella also drew a sword from her waistband.

“…”

The two ran towards each other without saying a word.

And,

Spark-!!

Nella’s sword accurately cut through Rugal’s body.

dump-

Rugal immediately dropped his sword and knelt on the floor.

Then he smiled as if he had achieved everything.

“Captain Nella. Please take good care of him.”

“······All right.”

Nella held back tears and slapped Rugal’s head.

“…”

Horace and Nella silently watched as Rugal collapsed helplessly.

* * *

Returning to the palace, I almost lost my mind at the shocking report.

“So, Rugal, the mob leader who led the rebellion, was stopped by the Knight Commander of Nella and executed on the spot!”

Rugal.

A character you rarely meet, and almost no presence.

The reason I nominated him as the commander of the Royal Knights was because of his characteristics.

He was a person who acted as a human in the royal family, but his characteristics were [justice], [uprightness] and [loyalty].

In other words, there was no such thing as betraying people.

Even though his stats are insignificant, because of the characteristics he has, he was set up as the commander of the royal knights, and such a guy rebelled?

‘No matter how difficult it is.’

One thing I learned after being stuck in this world for a long time is that the characteristics given to characters are applied equally regardless of difficulty.

Therefore, Rugal

‘I didn’t cause a rebellion.’

Clearly there is something.

And I had a strong intuition that they were hiding something from me now.

Is that why?

“Hores.”

“Yes, the lieutenant commander.”

A very strong bluff gushed out and filled my body.

“Is it true that Rugal rebelled?”

“······That’s right. He killed the king and killed the people of the royal family. What is it if not a rebellion?”

“I will ask you again. Did he really rebel?”

“…that, that’s it.”

right at that moment.

Koo-!!

Fear of chaos spread in all directions and attacked everyone gathered in the hall.

“Heuk!”

“Ahh!”

Dozens of servants and knights fell to the ground screaming.

Overwhelmed by the terrifying peer that oppressed them, they did not even dare to raise themselves.

“I will ask you one last time.”

I arrogantly rested my chin on my hand and looked down at Horace.

He wanted to say something to me, but he couldn’t even open his mouth.

Eventually, a short time of 15 seconds passed.

“Ugh!”

“Big-!”

They sighed and struggled on the floor.

Levanos, who had been mingling with them, also knelt down, gasping for breath, and looked at me with startled eyes.

Either way, my eyes were only on Horace.

“If you do not answer honestly until the end, I will kill all of you gathered here.”

“!?”

They swallowed dry saliva at my bravado, which didn’t know how to stop.

“I will ask. Did Rugal really rebel?”

When asked about him, Horace cried out as he fell on his stomach, banging his head on the floor.

“Standby division commander. Rugal just did what he believed was right.”

“······what?”

Horace told me everything about what had happened.

Rugal, a guy who faithfully served as the royal knight commander without a presence to the point of forgetting that such a guy even existed, had no idea that he would plot such a thing.

“He believed that his death and the downfall of the royal family were for Aslan’s sake!”

I didn’t know that Rugal’s characteristics could work like this.

I thought I would just do my own thing faithfully, but I can’t believe that I can do this without hesitation according to my convictions.

It was something I had never experienced before, so I couldn’t deal with it.

“Is it really for me to kill the king?”

“Ribert was only looking for an opportunity to put a dagger behind the back of the Grand Division Commander. In fact, he has conspired with several kingdoms and even worked with the devil to keep the kingdom’s gates wide open! How could you let such a person live!”

Libert was a greedy man.

That’s why I was always careful because I knew that he might aim for my back at least once, but it seems that Horace was watching him carefully.

“He believed he was right, and we don’t think he was wrong either. Although it was a rough method, it was what we all wanted that Aslan, who is not of royal blood, be the king of this kingdom!”

Soon, all the servants and knights who had gathered in the palace following Horeth knelt in front of me and bowed their heads to the ground.

“Please be the king!”

“Please be the king, Aslan!”

“Lead our kingdom!”

I raised my blood and shouted.

“Are you asking me to sit on a defiled throne! How dare you make fun of my pride!”

“The kingdom’s future is more than a knight’s pride and honor. If you can’t keep it, how can you talk about pride and honor!”

“Please become the king and lead the kingdom of Eli!”

They all shouted in unison.

“Put all the guilt on this old man for daring to deceive Aslan and overlooking this. However, even if this blood is shed, Aslan-nim must become the king. Now the throne is empty, and no one but Aslan dares to sit on it!”

“you’re right! Aslan is the savior of the continent and the hero of our kingdom! Didn’t I say that the king’s position was reserved by heaven?”

Aaron stepped in to help Horeth’s words.

Then voices broke out from all over the place.

“Such a pitiful…!”

I turned away from them.

Then, this time

[A new quest has occurred.]

[Main Quest, ‘Road of the Emperor’]

– Become the king of Eli kingdom.

-You get 10 gold as a reward.

This system was shit.

But I declined the quest.

OK,

– Become the king of Eli kingdom.

‘hate.’

– Become the king of Eli kingdom.

‘I hate it!’

Following the system, this time behind my back, they shouted with one voice.

“Please be the king of Eli Kingdom!!”

Back and forth shouted at me to be king.

Main Quest Denying the path of an emperor, he deliberately lost his chance to become a king.

The reason was to clear the game a little easier.

But if I became a king like this, I would…

– Become the king of Eli kingdom.

“Please be the king, Aslan!!”
