“Patrick, isn’t that enough? Even though he’s such a terrible person, he’s still my brother, so can you leave the rest to my father? Please?” Sonaris

That snapped me out of my violent state.

“Yes, I see. Shall we just leave it there? I seem to have shown you something unsightly. My apologies” Patrick bows his head

“Well, it was extremely cool! I’m happy you care about me!” Sonaris

Sonaris’s voice became a little raspy when saying that.

“I’ve shown an unsightly side to His Majesty and Your Highnesses. I’ll leave the remaining actions to you.” Patrick bows deeply

“Well, it was a bit overkill, but he was trying to murder us all. Thank you.” King

“I am grateful you ended my brother’s misbehavior. I’ll thank you too. I’m glad you called me a brother-in-law.” William says with a somewhat blue face

“Patrick, no Count Snake, you’ve saved us all. His Majesty wasn’t hurt and the perpetrator has been stopped. I’m glad I was able to survive, even if I lost an arm.” Trolla

Trolla looks forlornly at his left arm, which has nothing below the elbow. Potions will seal up wounds and knit broken bones, but they don’t replace missing limbs. His arm won’t grow back, it just grew skin over the wound to stop the bleeding.

“Uncle, if only I was a little quicker…” Patrick

“We can’t change the past! It’s an honorable injury. I can brag about it to Dekose!” Trolla

“Oh, it seems Count Snake saved me this time too” Macklin

Macklin Mental is the third prince of the Kingdom, a slender man with long silver hair. He looks a bit pale right now.

“Your Highness Macklin, I am glad to see you safe and sound.” Patrick

“All right, to start, lock up Henry, Philia, and Sophia in Philia’s chambers! The rebellious nobles can be thrown in jail! Any soldiers who chose to rebel should also be thrown in jail!” King

At that point, everyone started to move. Philia is the Second Queen, mother to the Second Prince and Second Princess Sophia.

“Patrick, I’m sorry, but I have a new mission for you.” King

“Find and capture Marquis Raven? How do you want him?” Patrick

“If possible, I’d like him alive to stand trial. If it’s impossible, I’ll accept your decision.” King

“Yes, sir! I’ll leave you to this situation. Your Highness Sonaris, let’s find some time to meet when I return.” Patrick bows his head and turns around

“Eighth Army! Viper militia! We’re going to locate and arrest Marquis Raven! Follow me!” Patrick

I feel the hot gaze of Sonaris on my back.
