In the Barony of Reinbach, the knights of the paratroopers dispatched by the Knights of the Order of the Rhineland were riding in armed form.

The paratroopers are elite troops who ride tame wyverns and magic birds in the sky.

They had only one goal: to capture Baron Carius Reinbach.

The knights walked through the house, which they knew beforehand, and opened the study of Callius without knocking.

"What the hell are you doing?

In the study was not only Carius, but also his wife Harriet and his son Harry.

The knights clucked their tongues inwardly.

They did not want their wives and children to see them about to capture Carius.

But a mission is a mission and must be carried out as it is.

"--Baron Carius Reinbach. I am bound to you!"

"What, what? Capturing me! What the hell is going on? !"

We are the Royal Guard. We will capture you and take you to King's Landing. Please do not resist.

I have no reason to be held captive by the Knights!

"No, there is that."

"What?"

Carius opens his eyes.

He really has no idea why he is being held captive.

"Your son, Manion Reinbach, and his wife, Yolanda Reinbach, have attacked the Viscounts of Riedil."

"-What?"

Karius was not the only one who was crestfallen; Harriet and Harry were as well.

"And before that, they raided several villages and towns, killing innocent people and robbing them of their gold and goods."

"...... Such, such nonsense. Do you really think it was Manion and Yolanda?"

"We have the testimony of Viscount Riedyll and his daughter, Mistress Luce, who escaped with their lives by running away. We have also confirmed this before our visit to the Reinbach district. There is no doubt about it."

Carius was speechless.

Manion and Yolanda, who had left on their own accord, had attacked the barons without his knowledge.

Manion was particularly incomprehensible. He is not skilled enough to defeat the soldiers patrolling the Viscount's territory.

I could not even imagine such a manion murdering, robbing, and of course attacking the Viscount's house.

We have nothing to do with them. We're already cut off."

"We are not in a position to judge that. We are here by order of His Majesty the King to arrest you. I warn you, we have orders to cut you down if you resist. What do you say?"

"...... agree to be captured."

"A wise decision."

The knights were inwardly relieved.

If Carius resisted, they planned to cut him down as they had been advised, but the ideal was to capture him and bring him to the capital.

I was worried because of what I had heard Mannion and Yolanda say and do, but Callius seemed to be surprisingly understanding.

"But I would like a chance to explain myself."

That is for His Majesty the King to decide.

"--Godd*mn you, Manion! Just when I thought you finally left the house, you do something stupid!"

"...... you."

"Father."

His wife and child make anxious noises as the knight grabs them by the arms and leads them away, though they are not restrained.

Carius nods to reassure his beloved family.

"No problem. We are strangers to Mannion and the others now. I will be back soon."

With these words, Carius was taken to King's Landing.

This was the last time he would see his wife and child.

Taken to the royal palace, Carius was chained in prison without being given a chance to explain himself.

Of course, he kept on appealing that he had nothing to do with Mannion and that he should be given a chance to explain himself, but all his pleas were rejected.

He seems to think that Manion and Yolanda are already strangers and unrelated, but that is not the case.

His son committed mass murder, attacked a nobleman's house, and stole. But there is no one left to judge.

Yolanda, the instigator of his son's crime, has already been captured and put in jail, but she is not even mourning for her son's death.

Then Carius had to take the blame.

Even if he said he had nothing to do with it, he was still his son by blood and the woman who had once been his wife.

He was trying to make her give him back his position for his own reasons, but that would not work.

The biggest crime of Callius is that he left them alone.

If he knew that they were problematic people to begin with, he should have kept a closer eye on them.

In this sense, too, Karius is responsible.

After a week in jail, Carrius is sentenced.

Fortunately, he was not condemned to death, but his baronetcy was demolished, his private property was confiscated, and Carius was sentenced to forced labor until his death.

Of course, Carius was not satisfied with the verdict and appealed repeatedly for an opportunity to defend himself, but all his appeals were rejected.

To top it all off, he demanded to see Sam.

Sam, who had faked his own death, was a court wizard and an earl. He thought that Sam would work for him.

He appealed to the king on the assumption that Sam, who had the king's good memory, could save him from his predicament.

However, his appeal was squashed without reaching Sam.

When Sam did not show up for the meeting, someone came to see Callius, who had grown tired of the situation and had begun to lash out.

It was Count Jonathan Walker.
