　In the Barony of Reinbach, the knights of the paratroopers dispatched by the Knights of the Order of the Rhineland were riding in armed form.

　The paratroopers are elite troops who ride tame wyverns and magic birds in the sky.

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

　They had only one goal: to capture Baron Carius Reinbach.

　The knights walked through the house, which they knew beforehand, and opened the study of Callius without knocking.

"What the hell are you doing?

　In the study was not only Carius, but also his wife Harriet and his son Harry.

　The knights clucked their tongues inwardly.

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

　They did not want their wives and children to see them about to capture Carius.

　But a mission is a mission and must be carried out as it is.

"--Baron Carius Reinbach. I am bound to you!"

"What, what?　Capturing me!　What the hell is going on? !"

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

We are the Royal Guard. We will capture you and take you to King's Landing. Please do not resist.

I have no reason to be held captive by the Knights!

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

"No, there is that."

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

"What?"

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

　Carius opens his eyes.

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

　He really has no idea why he is being held captive.

"Your son, Manion Reinbach, and his wife, Yolanda Reinbach, have attacked the Viscounts of Riedil."

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

"-What?"

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

　Karius was not the only one who was crestfallen; Harriet and Harry were as well.

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

"And before that, they raided several villages and towns, killing innocent people and robbing them of their gold and goods."

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

"...... Such, such nonsense. Do you really think it was Manion and Yolanda?"

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

"We have the testimony of Viscount Riedyll and his daughter, Mistress Luce, who escaped with their lives by running away. We have also confirmed this before our visit to the Reinbach district. There is no doubt about it."

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

　Carius was speechless.

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

　Manion and Yolanda, who had left on their own accord, had attacked the barons without his knowledge.

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

　Manion was particularly incomprehensible. He is not skilled enough to defeat the soldiers patrolling the Viscount's territory.

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

　I could not even imagine such a manion murdering, robbing, and of course attacking the Viscount's house.

We have nothing to do with them. We're already cut off."

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

"We are not in a position to judge that. We are here by order of His Majesty the King to arrest you. I warn you, we have orders to cut you down if you resist. What do you say?"

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

"...... agree to be captured."

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

"A wise decision."

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

　The knights were inwardly relieved.

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

　If Carius resisted, they planned to cut him down as they had been advised, but the ideal was to capture him and bring him to the capital.

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

　I was worried because of what I had heard Mannion and Yolanda say and do, but Callius seemed to be surprisingly understanding.

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

"But I would like a chance to explain myself."

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

That is for His Majesty the King to decide.

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

"--Godd*mn you, Manion!　Just when I thought you finally left the house, you do something stupid!"

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

"...... you."

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

"Father."

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

　His wife and child make anxious noises as the knight grabs them by the arms and leads them away, though they are not restrained.

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

　Carius nods to reassure his beloved family.

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

"No problem. We are strangers to Mannion and the others now. I will be back soon."

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

　With these words, Carius was taken to King's Landing.

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

　This was the last time he would see his wife and child.

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

　Taken to the royal palace, Carius was chained in prison without being given a chance to explain himself.

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

　Of course, he kept on appealing that he had nothing to do with Mannion and that he should be given a chance to explain himself, but all his pleas were rejected.

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

　He seems to think that Manion and Yolanda are already strangers and unrelated, but that is not the case.

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

　His son committed mass murder, attacked a nobleman's house, and stole. But there is no one left to judge.

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

　Yolanda, the instigator of his son's crime, has already been captured and put in jail, but she is not even mourning for her son's death.

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

　Then Carius had to take the blame.

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

　Even if he said he had nothing to do with it, he was still his son by blood and the woman who had once been his wife.

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

　He was trying to make her give him back his position for his own reasons, but that would not work.

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

　The biggest crime of Callius is that he left them alone.

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

　If he knew that they were problematic people to begin with, he should have kept a closer eye on them.

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

　In this sense, too, Karius is responsible.

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

　After a week in jail, Carrius is sentenced.

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

　Fortunately, he was not condemned to death, but his baronetcy was demolished, his private property was confiscated, and Carius was sentenced to forced labor until his death.

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

　Of course, Carius was not satisfied with the verdict and appealed repeatedly for an opportunity to defend himself, but all his appeals were rejected.

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

　To top it all off, he demanded to see Sam.

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

　Sam, who had faked his own death, was a court wizard and an earl. He thought that Sam would work for him.

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

　He appealed to the king on the assumption that Sam, who had the king's good memory, could save him from his predicament.

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

　However, his appeal was squashed without reaching Sam.

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

　When Sam did not show up for the meeting, someone came to see Callius, who had grown tired of the situation and had begun to lash out.

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

　It was Count Jonathan Walker.
