A Famous Traitor and Treacherous Genius

179 – Isn’t It Up to Your Interpretation? (2)

Won the championship in the Gyeongryong competition.

With 19 members of the Drake Knights, including Marquis Zeros Barcel, they defeated Saint Geo Nostrum, who came in on the second lap as if he had been waiting.

Some people, those who care a lot about politics, those who give meaning to everything, will be appalled and condemn my victory.

-No matter what, you should have given first place to the king!

There are people who say.

It’s absurd, but it really exists.

Because he is a loyal soldier?

No.

Before they are loyal soldiers, they are those who hate conflict, hope that war will not break out, and hope that their power will remain unshaken and continue without major problems.

-Isn’t this how a civil war breaks out?

Gray Gibraltar wins.

Runner-up to Marquis Zeros Barcel.

Since St.

St. Geo Nostrum is so angry at Gray Gibraltar that he will denounce him as a ‘traitor’.

It’s treason.

It’s a ridiculous word.

“Is it treason to win this competition?”

After the game was over, I was called to the president’s office at Orosol Academy.

“No. It’s not treason.”

“Then I don’t think there’s any reason for me to be imprisoned here.”

“Grey. It’s not because I’m worried about your safety, it’s because I’m trying to protect our King, who is about to be stabbed by you.”

“Your Excellency the Grand Duke. Are you referring to His Majesty the King, who keeps riding a flying dragon in the sky and looking for me?”

“Okay.”

The words were a call, but in reality, it was protection from a tyrant who was not a defeated tyrant drinking from a bottle.

“It’s a truly embarrassing situation to put out there, but keep in mind that it happened because you managed to win.”

“It’s unfair, mother.”

“What can we do even if it’s unfair? How could we not have tried to overcome that person?”

Queen Carmen muttered with a half-cast expression on her face.

“He is a guy who, if he feels like he is going to lose even just a little bit, he will bet until he wins and resorts to all kinds of tricks. It is very annoying and terrible.”

“I know.”

“I know, but you won?”

“Apart from Saint Geo’s humanity, I decided to get a kiss if I won first place.”

“Haa…”

Queen Carmen covered her face with her hands.

“You know that everyone says you’re crazy, right?”

“It would be unfair to say that I am politically crazy, but if you say that I am crazy in love, I will accept it.”

“Yes. I saw the Gibraltar average well.”

“I have never been more proud to be Gibraltar than I am today.”

It’s crazy, but crazy is possible in Gibraltar.

“Since Gibraltar was a king for a woman and risked his life for love with his youthful spirit, public opinion will not deteriorate much. Public opinion about me.”

“Yes, yes. Instead, St. Geo Nostrum is running wild. Trying to find Gray Gibraltar over there.”

“Aren’t you a coward who can’t even come in person?”

“So, are you confident when we meet face to face?”

Currently, St. Geo Nostrum cannot find me.

“You have to be confident.”

I’m trying to get the knights to find me, but the knights of the Knights of Golden Dawn are just walking around with their faces red and pretending to be looking for me.

Since he was overwhelmingly defeated in his dragon riding skills, he may be ashamed of that, but who would want to listen to the orders of a king who goes on a rampage, saying that he will take up the sword and purge someone just because he was defeated by a 17-year-old, or that it is treason?

“If it weren’t for the King, he would have been killed a long time ago.”

“…That goes for us too, Gray.”

“Hmm.”

Still, it is the ‘king’s command.’

Still, he is the bloodline of Nostrum and is the current king of Nostrum.

A knight must follow the king’s orders, and not doing so is treason.

So, have I committed treason by directly violating the words of St. Geo Nostrum: ‘The victory is mine’?

“Grey. Saint Geo Nostrum is a being that is incapable of logic and reason. No matter how much you try to restrain him with common sense, he is the embodiment of extraordinary sense. He is a crazy person who cannot be controlled.”

“Yes.”

“…You committed it because there was a way, right?”

“Hmm, maybe?”

“Maybe?”

The two Morganian father and daughter became contemplative.

“Grey. This is a really serious situation. In some cases, you may need to take refuge in the Empire, close to exile.”

“I don’t want that. There is Princess Astasia at Orosol Academy, so there is no reason for me to leave Orosol Academy.”

“Saint Geo is standing there like that?”

“Wouldn’t it be better to just get rid of it?”

“How are you going to get rid of it? Right now, I’m just preparing to catch Gray Gibraltar.”

“It’s simple.”

Even if it is Saint Geo Nostrum who runs wild like a mad dog.

“At a time like this, shouldn’t you stand out so that you can clearly show off as the ‘next king’?”

In front of ‘a certain person’, all the alcohol goes away and it’s not enough to come to your senses, but manners and etiquette are forcibly instilled in you and you come back to your senses.

“Once the preparations are done, you come out. Let’s watch.”

In the plaza in front of the president’s office building, where students and spectators flocked, I politely bowed to one student who appeared leading a large group of students.

“Who is more worthy of the throne?”

Flap.

A blond green-eyed woman with her spear draped over her shoulder, with the Nostrum flag flying, proudly stepped into the square.

[Saint Geo Nostrum ㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!]

“Wow.”

Naria called the incompetent king.

[The King, His Majesty.]

“…Screaming loudly like that and then singing quietly…”

“I’m still a first year student, but I can’t just let things go on like this, right?”

Naria began to move.

“From this moment on, it is already ‘static.'”

The year he turned 20, he made political moves to win the throne.

* * *

“Aren’t you embarrassed?”

Flap.

The drake has come down.

The students and noble spectators gathered around opened up space to avoid the flying dragon, and a circular arena was created among the crowd gathered in the square.

“Your Majesty the King.”

“Naria.”

Saint Geo got off her drake and snorted as she looked at Naria standing across from her.

“Aren’t you embarrassed? Not at all. Do you think I would feel embarrassed?”

“Let me change the word. Should I say shame?”

“Ha! In a situation where the king of Nostrum should have been the best, he was robbed of first place. He also openly tried to take first place right in front of me. That is an insult to me and a challenge to Nostrum!”

“It is an insult to St. Geo. I admit it.”

“What?”

“But I don’t think it’s an insult to the ‘Nostrum Royal Family’ or the ‘Nostrum Kingdom.'”

Boom.

Naria raised her head as she planted her flagpole in the ground.

“I support Gray Gibraltar winning.”

“…”

“It was a match to see how well one could control a dragon, and even that was closer to a friendly exhibition match than an actual competition. To talk about it as treason is clearly tyranny.”

Haha—!!”

Saint Geo flipped his bangs back and burst into laughter.

“Tyranny? Hehe, daughter, there’s nothing she can’t say to the king’s face.”

“…”

“Why? Are you willing to commit treason right here? Do you feel relieved to have to side with Gray Gibraltar and openly criticize and humiliate me in front of everyone? Huh?”

Saint Geo was openly sarcastic.

“That’s right. You just think you’re the king because it’s not long until you become an adult, right? Do you think you’ve become a real king because you lead those little kids at the academy and have others look up to you as a princess? Huh?”

“I never thought of it that way.”

“There isn’t one, damn it.”

It’s hard to think of him as the king of a country.

But no matter what anyone says, the king of this country is definitely Saint Geo Nostrum.

“Okay. Then, take it somewhere. When you turn 20, you plan to kill your biological father and take the throne, huh? Put a sword in my heart and take away Nostrum’s throne? Huh?”

“Your Majesty the King.”

“Yes! I am the King of Nostrum! No one can give me orders, and no one can treat me badly!”

Saint Geo shouted, pointing his finger at the surroundings.

“Foolish people who don’t know anything! Foolish people who don’t even know that if a little more time passes, everything they did will end up in emptiness and nothingness!”

“…”

“Come on! Take it away! Try taking my life and my throne! But will the Nostrum tradition really stand still?! Huh?! If Saint Geo Nostrum dies right now, what will happen to this continent then? Will it unfold?!”

If there is a reason why no one can touch St. Geo, it must be because of the ‘disaster’ that will fall the continent.

“It has never gone out of order! Flood? Drought? Typhoon? Earthquake? Or the Great Plague? Whatever it is, it will start to explode as soon as I die! Naria Geonostrum, because you are not yet a saint!”

“…”

“So, if you don’t want to bring disaster to this land, bring in that damn traitor from Gibraltar!!”

Cheolkeong.

“It’s the king’s command—!!”

Saint Geonostrum drew his sword.

* * *

Was it so unfair that I didn’t get first place?

Or is it because he gets too drunk and openly spits out his inner feelings in front of everyone?

“You’re crazy, really.”

“…Is it broken? Or…”

“Didn’t he take some kind of drug that made him crazy? Otherwise, he wouldn’t have done something so crazy.”

The sight of St.

‘I took medicine.’

Before participating in the drinking dragon racing, there is a high possibility that he drank alcohol and even drank silver in it.

And it is presumed that the medicinal effect still remains.

Perhaps the emperor also thought, ‘We need to reduce the side effects of white silver.’

“Well… It’s true that when people around you openly say, ‘You have about 2 years and 3 months left to live as king,’ it feels rotten to the core of that person.”

“Then don’t you think you should have done better to avoid hearing such things?”

“I think so too. Well, thanks to that, Naria will receive a halo in return.”

“Naria is Naria, and you are in trouble. That human may later lie down in the square over there and go on a rampage, saying, ‘Give up the traitor Gray.'”

“…”

It’s even scarier because he’s actually a human being who does that.

It may seem like he’s doing something crazy like that because he’s drunk on ‘white silver’, but Saint Geo Nostrum is probably the only one who can actually do something like that even when he’s drunk on white silver.

“Well… It’s okay.”

“Why on earth are you so carefree?”

“It is enough for Naria to ‘step up.’ Now, all we have to do is resolve the rest.”

I raised my fist.

“Humans tend to make mistakes when they are drunk. The mistake was to say ‘Traitor Gibraltar’ instead of ‘Traitor Gray.'”

“…Wait a minute.”

The Duke of Winchester seemed to sense something and ran towards the window.

“You, no way…!”

“It’s nothing special.”

I took out the communication magic stone.

“We have invited the only person in the kingdom who can hit Saint Geo’s head.”
