"Oh, here they come. I heard you were in trouble, Brother Ars. He was attacked suddenly in the capital and barely escaped with his life.

"...... What?　Is that old man alive?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah. Yeah. But he was in a pretty serious condition when he was brought here. Cardinal Miglia was just here in Richard, so he gave him a recovery and he survived.

"Are you really alive, Kyle?　When Leon got the information about King's Landing, he said that Lord Joseph had lost his life."

"It's the magic of the Grated family, apparently. They used a spell called "The Substitute."

"Isn't that supposed to prevent attacks on others?　I think you said that Joseph was using [substitution] against King Doren."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, that's right. But Joseph is not the only one in the Grated family. It seems that others have been using the substitution against Josef. And they managed to get away with it."

　Joseph was killed in King's Landing.

　When I heard this from Leon in Fontana, I immediately headed for Richard's town.

　Then Kyle told me something else.

　Joseph is alive.

　The Greys have served the Doren family for generations in the Royal City area.

　Basically, most of the aristocratic families who use magic in the Royal Capital Region have cultural magic.

　However, not all of them are not good at fighting at all.

　The Grayedd family is one of the few exceptions to this rule, and it is rare that they seem to be able to use magic to protect others.

　A magic called substitution.

　It is said that if the target is attacked while using this magic on the person whom he/she wants to protect, the magic user can take the attack on his/her shoulders.

　However, the effect is a bit ambiguous.

　Even though the magic user takes the damage of the attack, the attacked person does not get unharmed, but rather he or she gets wounded normally.

　Therefore, when Joseph was persuaded by the people in the capital and was slashed by the head of the Bismarck family with a sword, his body was definitely cut in a flash.

　Joseph was mortally wounded because of it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The wounds were so severe that anyone would have thought he was dead.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And it is likely that the people around him spread the news of Joseph's death, and that is what Leon heard.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But Joseph was alive.

　The Grated family had used a substitute in advance.

　It seems that both Rion and I were mistaken about this magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought it was a magic to take damage instead of him, but it is not.

　It seems to have the effect of sharing life force.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Joseph was mortally wounded, but other members of the Grayed family took the rest of his life force that was supposed to be lost by the substitution, and he survived with only a mortal wound.

　I don't know much about it, but I am sure that H! I don't know much about it, but it must have been something like 1 H!

So, Joseph was on the verge of death, and the Gretead family brought him to this place to escape, and he was saved by Cardinal Miglia's [recovery]. Well, I'm glad he's safe. I felt a little responsible too."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well then, why don't you also apply [recovery] to Joseph-dono?　Cardinal Miglia said that he only survived, but the wounds on his body are still very serious and he might be a little worried."

"Oh, I see. Okay, okay. Lead the way, Kyle. Let's go heal."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Joseph was presumed dead by those who watched.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Josef was taken out by the Grated family shortly after the attack, and was found barely alive.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Grated family immediately took action.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They left the capital with a car driven by a mounted dragon and headed for the city of Richard.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They used secret medicines to heal their wounds, but the wounds were still deep and not likely to heal easily.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The only way to heal such a serious wound was to turn to the church.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, there was no telling what kind of interference the Bismarcks and other noble families in the city might make.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, they gave up the treatment in the capital and rushed to the town of Richard.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And there, Mirialia, who had come down from the Celestial Cemetery, used [Recovery].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With this, she managed to recover from her fatal wound without dying.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, it is not perfect.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For this reason, I asked her to take me to the room where Josef was resting in order to apply [recovery] again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But then I realized something.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Greited family had been in the service of the Doren royal family for many years and had remained an influential family in the royal city area because they had the magic of substitution.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can also understand that they were held responsible for the previous attack on the previous King Doren.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I suppose that a king should not have lost his life.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If he had used the substitution, even if he had been attacked, the Grated family would have died first.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And if they could have bought even a little time, they could have fled to the church and had [recovery] applied.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And yet, the king died and Joseph survived.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps it was unintentional.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I am sure that it was a blunder that led to a great loss in political disputes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That is why Joseph, an old nobleman, was loyal to the present King Dorren to clear his name.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I cast a [Recovery] spell on the sleeping Joseph in the room to which I was led, and completely healed his wounds.
