"Welcome, Samuel."
King, it's been a long time.
Sam prepared himself and headed for the royal palace, where he was shown by the Kingsguard not to the throne room but to a room in the palace.
The room was decorated with gorgeous ornaments, expensive-looking vases and paintings, and the sofa on which he was now sitting was of high quality.
The sofa on which I am sitting now is also of high quality. This room is probably used to meet important people from various countries.
Such a room is not very comfortable.
I am facing Clyde Isle-Sky, the king of the Kingdom of Sky, one-on-one.
"Thank you for the duel with Albert the other day and the incident with Lord Burning Dragon.
No, I did what I had to do.
Clyde, dressed in white with a crown on his head and silver hair tinged with blue, looked somewhat tired.
His stern expression seemed to have less energy than when I saw him the other day.
"I would have liked to see you sooner, but there is so much to deal with. Did Count Walker tell you what happened after that?
I've heard most of what you said.
"Hmm. Well, I'll tell him again. I have some new things to tell you.
At Clyde's words, Sam nodded his head and said, "Please.
"First of all, thanks to you, the crisis in the country is over. The Burning Dragon has accepted our mountain range as an apology and as friendship for the future. I don't think that he will be an enemy of ours for the time being."
"That's because nothing happened to the dragons. I am also relieved.
I agree with you. Samuel, it is because of your fight against Lord Burning Dragon and your attempts to communicate with him. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
What a waste of words. It was for the sake of the country and the burning dragon was a victim.
I was surprised that the king himself bowed to Sam and thanked him, but I took it in stride.
I thought it would be disrespectful to waste the king's sincerity.
Clyde looked up, a bitter look on his face.
"Hmm. I feel really bad about what I did to the Burning Dragon. I had no idea that Albert and the Marquess Gordon were illegally trading in demons and fantasy species.
The king sighs, his handsome face contorted.
Even Sam laughs at this.
He had never imagined that his opponent, whom he had defeated in a duel, was involved in illegal trade and doing as he pleased.
He was not worthy of being a court wizard or the most powerful man in the Kingdom of Skye.
"After that, I had them search the houses of those involved, and they came up with ...... a mountain of incontrovertible evidence. He also sold the people of Skye to other kingdoms. The damage was too great."
"- what a mess."
"Now, I'm putting together a survey team to get the people back and get them out. We may not be able to save all of them, but we hope we can at least save those who know who sold them to us."
I did not expect to find people being trafficked as well.
However, there was no way that those who were illegally trying to sell not only demons but even dragons would not use human beings as commodities.
There is slavery in the Kingdom of Skye, but it is only through legitimate contracts.
Illegal buying and selling of human beings is not allowed.
"The Marquesses of Gordon and all the nobles involved have been sentenced to death. Half of them have already been executed. The houses are to be torn down or the heads replaced and the families of those involved exiled."
"I think it's appropriate. Considering that the scorching dragon is going to burn the country to the ground, I think it's rather compassionate.
I am told that most of the Marquess Gordon family was involved in the illegal trade.
Some people said they had no choice but to do so because they were ordered to. However, when I investigated, I found that most of the servants had received a large amount of hush money and had been living a life of spending money roughly.
Mrs. Gordon also claimed that her husband did it, but according to the testimonies of the servants, she was actively involved in the trade and introduced them to collectors of her acquaintance.
Mrs. Gordon, who had a violent temperament, was known to have routinely attacked her captors, and was sentenced to prison without mercy.
She is no longer with us.
Albert Frege's parents, siblings and relatives were also punished in a way that they had to take responsibility.
His father was convicted of death. His mother and the rest of his relatives are mostly deported.
Many illegally captured people were found in Albert's house, and they testified that they had been abused.
Since Albert was already dead and could not be punished, his family paid for his crimes.
Other aristocrats and merchants who had collaborated with the two were also destroyed, and those who had been involved were severely punished.
There are some who say that this is too much. However, I did not want to keep in this country the people who had provoked the wrath of the Burning Dragon. It is not impossible that he might do something stupid again.
You are right, sir.
"Thanks to this, I was able to reduce the power of the aristocratic faction that had been my enemy, if not destroy it. They will be quiet for a while now."
By punishing those who have endangered the country, the aristocracy is said to be on the verge of destruction.
The king, looking tired, is somewhat satisfied.
"Thanks to you," he said, "they have been unable to even resist and have lost their power, thanks to the death of Albert, who was the greatest force of the aristocrats. I am grateful to you, Samuel."
A full-scale power struggle could have resulted in a civil war in the worst case.
However, the aristocrats lost Albert, the most powerful wizard in the kingdom.
And Sam, who slaughtered Albert, was entrusted to the royalists, the Earls of Walker.
They probably did not need to think about the consequences of starting a civil war.
In the first place, even if Albert were still alive, it seems that the royalists did not seem to be ready to fight a war against the country, but they were prepared for any eventuality.
After all, it seems that the aristocrats were nothing but a group of people who did as they pleased using their power and strength as a shield.
"Have I told you everything, or is there more? I will also inform you of the treatment of the other court wizards.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
