Chapter 39

The man named Rob, apparently feeling the same distress to befall on him, hurriedly backed away with his face completely turned aghast. However, before he could retreat further, Sir Ovaron stood right behind him, his sword menacingly pointed at him, cutting off his only escape route. 

Being forced into a corner, Rob’s face twisted, and he suddenly shouted, “The-there are hundreds of knights in Kai’Sa who have sworn allegiance to me! If you kill me, then it will be war!” 

“I look forward to that.” 

“Lord Calypse!” In the growing tempest, Dokyeom immediately made his way towards Jungkook’s side, who had his sword already out into the air. Seeing the wizard approach him, Jungkook’s dry gaze tilted towards him in question. 

“If he really is a nobleman of Libadon, you can’t kill him here. Once we take him into custody, we can negotiate with Libadon and sell him…” 

“Are you arguing with my decision?” Jungkook replied, boring his steely eyes into Dokyeom’s smaller frame. 

Dokyeom stood his ground, looking at him determinedly, “War brings nothing but loss. It’s better to just follow the procedures and get some compensation in return.”

“I refuse.” Jungkook spat coldly, the venom dripping from his words, “We can just barge into his land and take everything, who cares about lengthy procedures?” 

It was a ruthless tone that conveyed he thought nothing of both the thirty-armed knights before them now and the hundreds of knights stationed in Kai’Sa. 

Dokyeom let out a small sigh, “If you do that then it will cause friction with Libadon and…” he trailed off and suddenly looked back at Lisàa, who was hiding in the back with the help of a guard. 

“Must you defile the eyes of the lady even more? Please show some chivalry.” 

A frown rippled across Jungkook’s calm face that had been promising war a moment ago.

When he glanced towards the back, trying to figure out what the wizard had meant, his eyes opened wide seeing Lisa unsightly sitting on the floor.

Right away, a look screaming bloody murder, incomparable with his fury from before, appeared on his still face. 

He fiercely stared at Dokyeom and snarled, “Why on earth is my wife in a place like this?!” 

“Isn’t it natural that when a problem arises in the territory, it’s the madam’s responsibility to take care of it at the absence of the lord?”
 
Dokyeom stayed perfectly calm despite the ferocious aura that made even the knights around him freeze. Jungkook gritted his teeth at the former’s calm façade, then suddenly pushed his sword right under Rob’s neck with lighting speed. 

“Drop your weapon and get down from the horse… If you don’t disobey, I’ll let your neck stay connected to your head.” 

“Just, just let me go! I’ll leave this land right away…” 

“You want me to just let you go after you attacked my estate?” Jungkook then cut his horse down violently. “It’s either you die here or surrender. Your choice.” 

Rob’s eyes quickly glanced around to grasp the situation. His men were completely surrounded by Remdragon’s knights. Maybe realizing there was no chance of winning, he threw his sword away and came down from the horse. His knights, following his lead, also gave up their swords on the ground. 

Jungkook then signaled his knights with his eyes. “Tie everyone up and throw them into the dungeon.” 

Lisa could finally let out a long sigh of relief, her shoulders visibly relaxing. She couldn’t believe that after he came, the whole situation had been cleared up in a matter of minutes.
