"Warm. This is the first time I've ever been subjected to restorative magic that would stain my whole body like this"
"How are you doing, Lord Joseph? I think the wound has improved with the [recovery] I just used."
"Thank you. Looks like it's okay now. Thank you."
"Fine. Whatever it is, it's important that we meet again safely."
Joseph was lying in a room at Charlotte Castle.
Apparently, it was in a really dangerous state.
Joseph's body had a thoroughly large wound from his chest to his stomach.
Although Myrialia used [recovery], it should be noted that this much scratching must have hurt her gut and so on.
Even though it is, all I would say is that it was amazing how far I could have fled from the King's Capital.
Apparently, there was a young, healthy Grated family member who was using [substitute] against Joseph.
He was dying and kept cutting Joseph's vitality off.
Magic to help those who matter when something happens.
I guess it was because of this that I was always recognized by the Doren royal family as a trusted aristocrat.
Well, if you did have this kind of magic, I don't think it's surprising they complained about the assassination of the earlier generation of King Doren.
They kept saying, "Why didn't you die in the king's place?"
Joseph like that got physically better from what I [recovered] did.
However, he said he needs to rest a little more because his vitality is temporarily falling.
So with Joseph lying down, we were supposed to talk.
"I heard in the king's capital that the Bismarck family had their swords pointed at them. Are you sure, Lord Joseph?
"Yes. It's not just the Bismarck family. Some of those who were there must have talked about it beforehand. Suddenly they called me because they said they wanted to discuss something with me. If you were prepared for it, it would be like this."
"No, it would have meant it was a good decision to have been prepared. And that means that several aristocrats in the Wang capital, starting with the Bismarck family, have reached a tough means against Lord Joseph. If so, is there still no settlement between the Doren royal family and the Kingdom of Fontana"
"Oh, please wait. I'll take care of the settlement. So please, please return the Doren royal inheritance to the king. Please."
"Huh? No, you can't do that, Lord Joseph. This is how you fled here with the wounds that led to your death. Now it will be all those who rebel against this one who are in the king's capital. I don't think we can have a decent discussion."
"That's not true. No, at this point, it doesn't matter what the Wang Du intends. Please return the throne to King Doren, to King Sigma Doren, the king of our time."
"Hmm, that would be hard to say. There's no point in this one doing it anymore than you can't even negotiate with them properly."
"That's not true. King Doren is here, not in the king's capital."
"... what? King Doren's here?
Did you finally get busy, this old man?
Though we are on the verge of regaining King Doren's inheritance rights, that just shouldn't be the case.
Whatever it is, even though the Grated family is a prestigious nobleman, it should have been a desperate escape when they fled from the king's capital to this point.
There can't be King Doren with those fleeing people.
If there were, it would become conspicuous and nowhere near escape.
"Maybe you don't know. King Sigma Doren, the contemporary king of Doren, has a blood connection to my Greatest family. My daughter, who married my predecessor King from the Greatest family, gave birth to and raised a boy."
"Oh, I see you do. I hear the Grateds were able to return to the center because they were serving as nannies and fu for the interim king."
"Ruri. And coincidentally, we had a boy who looked just like King Sigma and was close to his age."
"Huh.... could that be?
"Didn't I tell you? He felt in danger when the Bismarck family and others called him in. That's why I kept my hands on it. with the safety of King Sigma."
"... maybe it's not the real King Doren who's in the King's Capital right now? Are you saying that there are those who look like kings of the Greatest family left in their stead?
"Exactly. And King Sigma, the man is here, with us in this city of Rishar. So please, give King Sigma the right to inherit."
No, no, it's true.
Does that mean we have King Doren here?
... Isn't that something like kidnapping?
Joseph was a bridger in the negotiation of a settlement between the Doren royal family and the Kingdom of Fontana.
And Joseph brought the present king Doren out of the king's capital, and fled here.
I don't know how much of the fake remains in the Wang capital look exactly like him, but it won't even mean he can't even tell.
No, no matter how similar the appearance was, there are differences in magic power and so on, and you can't be unaware of them all the time.
One day, the nobles in the king's capital will be able to beat you.
What will they think then?
Joseph de Greated distracted and took the king away?
Or did someone guide you out and take out the king?
If someone was holding back, who the hell was that?
I only have a bad feeling about this.
I accidentally got a headache thinking about King Doren being in this city with Joseph.
