I became the sick nobelman

Chapter 94 - To Setiria (1)

"Open it."

As soon as Ruel lay on the bed, he handed Cassion the pouch he had received from the king.

The banquet was finally over.

After Banios announced his challenge for the throne, all attention was drawn to him.

Ruel had accomplished his goal, so he retreated into a corner and people watched until the banquet ended.

Afterward, the king proposed that Ruel, who was due for a long trip back to Setiria, stay at the royal residence for a day, citing the long distance.

He was worried that Huan and Adoris would visit him, but luckily neither of them did.

"Alright."

Cassion, who opened the pouch and looked inside, smiled lightly.

"There are so many of those gold coins that you are fond of."

—This body, this body wants to see.

As Leo tried to put his head in the pouch, Cassion stared down Leo.

"Beast, if you don't behave..."

Cassion suddenly stopped talking and dug his hand deeper into the pouch.

When he pulled his hand out, he held a piece of paper.

Leo studied the paper and tilted his head.

—Isn't this the white thing that Ruel watches every day? That's not the money Ruel likes. Cassion doesn't know money?

Cassion held out the paper without even responding.

"There is a note."

"Give it to me."

Paper in the pouch.

'Did the king intentionally place it in?'

Where is the brave soul who would dare to touch the object handed over personally by the king?

Ruel continued reading the paper.

[I entrusted my old friend Ben Liobenez with the letter I received from your father, Trino Setiria. Tell him you brought out my 'buried conscience,' and he will understand. I'm sorry.]

'...A letter?'

Ruel's eyes shook slightly.

'The former patriarch was taking Ruel to meet the king. In the meantime, he was attacked by Red Ash?'

Ruel handed the paper over to Cassion with a hardened face.

"No wonder he gave me a lot."

As he expected, he added more money to go along with his apology.

Cassion read the paper and placed it in his pocket.

"It's a note speaking of regret. It seems that the king could have prevented it, but didn't."

"It's not the Royal Family, it's more like a hideout of the Red Ash."

Ruel patted Leo, who was clinging to him, on the head.

The First and Second Prince are hostile, while the Second Prince is trying to protect the Third Prince, and the Third Prince is trying to protect the country from both of them.

'And the king... is sitting on the sidelines.'

What a mess.

"Cough!"

Ruel frowned at the rising cough.

Leo glistened his eyes and licked his lips.

—This body will eat it."
