"Thank you very much. I seem to be all right now. Thank you.

　Joseph was lying in a room at Charlotte Castle.

　Apparently, he was in a really dangerous state.

　Joseph was left with a large wound from his chest to his stomach.

　Even with Mirialia's [Recovery], Joseph's internal organs must have been badly damaged to have such large wounds.

　But it is nothing short of amazing that she was able to escape from the royal capital to this place.

　It seems that there was a young and healthy member of the Grated family who was using a substitute against Joseph.

　He was dying and was keeping Joseph's ever-decreasing life force in check.

　This is probably the reason why the House of Dorren has always been recognized as a trusted noble family.

　Well, if they had this kind of magic, it is no wonder that they complained when the previous King Doren was assassinated.

　Why didn't you die in his place?

　So we talked while Joseph was lying down.

"I heard that in King's Landing you were put to the sword by the Bismarcks, is that correct, Josef?"

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

"Yes. It is not only the Bismarcks. I'm sure that the people who were there had already discussed this. They called me because they suddenly had something they wanted to discuss with me. I was prepared for the possibility, and here we are.

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

"No, being prepared was a good decision. So, it means that the Bismarcks and some other noble families in the capital have taken strong measures against Joseph. Then, is there still no reconciliation between the royal family of Döhren and the Kingdom of Fontana?

"Oh, please wait. We will work out a settlement. So please, please return the succession of the Doren royal family to the king. I beg you.

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

"What?　No, that's not possible, Mr. Joseph. Thus you have escaped here with a mortal wound. Now all you will find in King's Landing are those who oppose you. I don't think it's possible to have a proper discussion with them.

"That's not true. No, the will of King's Landing is not important at this time. Please, let King Dorren return the throne to his rightful king, King Sigma Dorren.

"Well, it would be difficult to say. It would be difficult to do so, since we can no longer negotiate with the other party properly.

"That's not true. King Doren is here, not in King's Landing."

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

"What about ......?　King Doren is here?"

　Has this old man finally become an old geezer?

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

　He may be eager to regain the succession to the throne of King Dorren, but it can't be true.

　Even if the Grated family is a prestigious noble family, it must have been a desperate escape when they fled from the royal capital to this place.

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

　There is no way that King Doren would be with such fleeing people.

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

　If he were, he would be too conspicuous to escape.

"Perhaps you do not know. King Sigma Dorren, the late King Dorren, is related to our House of Grated by blood. A daughter of the House of Grated married the previous king and bore him a son."

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

"Yes, that seems to be the case. I heard that the Gravediggers were able to return to the center of power because they served as nannies and attendants to the interim king.

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

"That's right. And it so happened that our family had a baby boy who looked just like King Sigma and was close to his age."

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

"What? ...... is that, by any chance?"

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

"I told you, didn't I? You said you felt you were in danger when you were summoned by the Bismarcks and others. That's why I made the necessary arrangements. With the safety of King Sigma."

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

"...... Could it be that the real King Doren is not the real King Doren in King's Landing right now?　Are you saying that someone who looks exactly like the king of the House of Grated is left in his place?"

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

"That's right. And King Sigma himself is here, in the city of Richard, with us. So, please, let King Sigma take over."

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

　No, no, no, really.

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

　You mean King Doren is here.

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

　...... isn't that some kind of kidnapping or something?

　Joseph was a bridge in the negotiations for a settlement between the royal house of Doren and the Kingdom of Fontana.

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

　Joseph took the current King of Doren out of the capital and fled here.

　I don't know how much the fake left in King's Landing looks like him, but I guess it's not too hard to recognize him.

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

　No matter how much they look alike, there are differences in magical power and so on, and it is impossible for them to remain unnoticed.

　Someday, the nobles in King's Landing will find out.

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

　What will they think then?

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

　Did Joseph de Grayt take the king away in a fit of rage?

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

　Or did someone else arrange for the king to be taken out?

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

　If someone was behind the scenes, who was it?

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

　I have a bad feeling about this.

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

　My head ached as I thought about Joseph and King Doren in town.
