Chapter 90: (2)

Um in that case, couldnt you accompany us to the Markain family until then? If you protect Linda until then

Seeing Linda, who was powerless and turning away, Balon turned to me and said, What about that?

Before I could speak, Reika, perched on my shoulder, gave me a look that seemed to say I should accept.

If its only as far as the Markain family Alright. We have to pass through the Mareon Empire, though.

Thank you! Thank you so much!

[As expected of Kaiyan! You did a great thing! I believed in you!]

Ugh its cold!

[Kaiyan, you should warm up over here too!]

After cleaning up the corpses of the deceased Ogre and soldiers to some extent, they made a makeshift fire to warm themselves. If this had been a forest close to the northern border, monsters would have smelled the blood and rushed in, but this place was a relatively peaceful forest, so they had some leisure.

The soldiers, with amused smiles, couldnt refuse the invitation and approached the fire. The man who seemed to be the captain, watching for an opportunity, approached with his buttocks raised.

Kaiyan, if its not too much trouble, may I ask you a question?

Yes, thats fine.

Well Are you really a mercenary?

Yes, I am. Is there a problem?

No, its not that Its just that your skills are too exceptional to be considered a mercenary. Even a knight would have a hard time beheading an Ogre in a single blow.

Yes, I could understand why he would be skeptical from his perspective.

Especially since he had heard about Kaiyan easily dispatching three knights with Balon.

You can think of it as me being fortunate to have a great teacher and some special luck. No need to overcomplicate things.

Hmm? What is there a problem with me?

Well, yes, haha I apologize for being suspicious. I tend to be skeptical, and I was rude to the person who saved us. My name is Anton. My hometown is the Mareon Empire, but Ive spent ten years in the Menislan Kingdom.

Antons words piqued Kaiyans interest.

Why did Mr. Anton spend ten years in Menislan? And if its not impolite, why is a child like Linda here?

Kaiyan became quite curious about why the heir of Markain was in Menislan, not the Mareon Empire.

In response to my question, Anton, who had an embarrassed expression, sighed and opened his mouth.

Oh, well Whew Theres no need to hide it now. Lady Linda is the sole granddaughter of the late Markain family lord.

Granddaughter I see.

The reason shes here is that her mother, Lady Gerina, settled in the Menislan Kingdom ten years ago after her marriage. Haha! We came along at that time too.

But how can a child named Linda become the heir? I dont know much about this, but isnt the succession process in the Mareon Empire different from other kingdoms?

Skipping over the lords children and passing the title to the grandchildren was something Kaiyan had never heard of. Even if it were possible, would the lords children stay quiet about it?

Well, its not like that In the Markain family, Lady Linda is the only heir left.

What? What do you mean

The Markain family lord had two children, but one of them passed away in an accident with the lord, and the other, Lady Gerina she also suddenly passed away due to illness. So, the Markain family sent knights to bring Lady Linda back.

All three of them dying in accidents and illness was hard to believe, but what was even more unbelievable was

No, then who on earth is trying to kill this child named Linda? When theres only one official heir left.

This was different from the cases of Baran and Jansen.

In a situation where there was no competing heir, someone was aiming for the official heir.

Anton, with a stern expression, bit his lips in thought.

We dont know either. But according to what Balon told us, the knights said they wanted the Markain family in chaos.

So someone within the family is targeting Linda.

Yes, thats what we believe.

While it was a relief that Linda wasnt involved in an heir dispute, it raised questions about who would want to disrupt the Markain family to the extent of killing its nobles.

Barvan had mentioned that in an heir dispute within the family, the kingdom wouldnt intervene, but killing nobles from other families was a major crime that would lead to severe punishment by the kingdom.

Yet, it wasnt nobles targeting nobles, but knights targeting nobles, even their own familys nobles.

[This is more complicated than I thought. Im sorry for asking you to help without knowing all the details.]

Rieka, who had fallen asleep in Lindas arms, raised her head and apologized as if feeling guilty. In response, Kaiyan secretly nodded to Rieka, assuring her that it was okay.

At first, it felt like taking on an annoying task, but now it seemed the situation was becoming quite interesting.

Considering it wasnt a typical heir dispute but someone scheming to take the life of the true heir, Kaiyan wondered if he could get involved in Lindas affairs without any issue.

Its not an heir dispute; its hidden individuals aiming for the heirs life. This could be quite something.
