At the 18th Knights warehouse, one knight was reporting the results of the investigation to Roy.
"I'm a 9th Knights Recon, but I was paying doctors back for an unlikely exorbitant reward. It's a very impossible amount on the Knights salary. Also the medication used for the treatment was made in a distant country of Eisia, which seems to have been given to the doctor by the Recon side. It's a drug that is now forbidden to make due to ethical issues. Perhaps Recon got the drug in association with a criminal organization. Recon was supposed to be a spy on that side, subject to those conditions."
After hearing the report, Roy was silent for a while.
"I didn't want to believe it, but was there still a traitor in the Knights..."
Roy exhaled for a long time. The less emotional look hidden in the mask also appears slightly distorted by distress.
Finn, deputy captain of the First Knights who was present, asks Roy.
"What will you do? Do you want to restrain the Recon?
"No, let's talk to Recon from me"
If there were circumstances and you betrayed him, there was a chance you could persuade him.
It's unclear how much information they give you, but if you succeed in persuading them, you can get a little clue about them. However, Roy may have said he would persuade himself because he wanted to do whatever warm measures he could against his men.
"Where's Recon?"
"I now represent the general affairs of the northern quarters. In the evening it is confirmed that he was working inside with a very small blonde boy and carrying his luggage to a warehouse near the training center"
"With Heath...?
Heard of a very small blonde boy, Roy soon finds out it's about Heath.
I had a heartbeat for some reason.
"Your Majesty...!?
The next moment, Roy was running out. Head to the warehouse near the training center.
It was raining outside.
Roy runs through it. Even if it gets wet, don't shake your eyes.
In the rain I saw a warehouse in my bad sight. It's a warehouse that houses equipment from the north quarters.
The door is open. Roy grabbed the pattern of the sword and jumped into it.
I put my hand around Roy's eyes on someone's neck, and I saw Recon tightening it up. Strangled is a boy with beautiful golden hair, who looks younger than old. It was Heath......
Power is lost from its body and its hands and feet are floating off the floor. I was already unconscious...
Recon's eyes looked at this one. There is no agitation in those eyes. I have already lost all hope for so long that I just let my darkly depressed orbit wander into darkness as if I had been swimming all the way through despair.
"Recon... let go of that hand..."
Roy suppresses his impatience and tells Recon in a push-kill voice.
"Mr. Ior..."
Recon's hand won't let go. Continue to tighten Heath's neck. How long have you been in that state...... Roy just got in doesn't know. But my body still trembled slightly, and there were signs of life.
"Relax, Recon...... Get your hands off me..."
"I had no choice. In order to cure my daughter and wife, I needed medication...... A very rare medicine...... So, so..."
Tears pass through Recon's right eye. The face had completely lost its normal mind. With his eyes open like a loose shell, the arm still strangles Heath keeps putting in force. The smudges and unpleasant noises began to echo in Roy's ears.
"Recon!"
"It's too late......! This is the only way to save my wife and daughter...... this is the only way. Ahhh!
I could see the force hanging over Recon's arm.
The moment he saw it, Roy pulled out his sword and accelerated towards the Recon like a lightning bolt.
My neck flew.
Bright red blood spills out of that cross section and splashes across all sides.
The force falls out of Recon's body, where he lost his neck, and the hand that was strangling Fee slowly unwinds. The bloody Roy rushed to hug Fee's body with its arms as it was about to be thrown out onto the ground.
"Heath......! You all right, Heath?
Heath can't hold onto Roy's voice calling. Its body lays firmly in Roy's arms and does not heal any reaction. Only painfully strangled neck marks and tiny, badly unreliable breaths were there.
