Chapter 101
King’s brother, Amol Cleydale
I was not familiar with the royal family, but the current king had about ten brothers, and most of the male royals went off to be a duke or son-in-law in another country, but for one reason or another…. The youngest brother, whose fiancée had not been decided for a long time, was left in the royal family just like that.
Considering the current situation of the royal family, which Sera had told me about, he must have been left in the royal family as a “spare” for the current king, who had chosen a woman of low status as his queen.
The position of [King’s Brother] was essentially equivalent to that of a grand duke, who assisted the king in his political affairs.
But if the situation was as I had imagined it, he was not even given the power equivalent to a duke, and I assumed that he was “kept” as the only member of the royal family.
In this light, the crown prince, who had the blood of his elder brother, the current king, and the queen, must not be a favorable existence for him. Therefore, I suspected that he felt a distorted desire for protection towards Elena, who was in a similar situation to him.
“Why don’t you say something?”
Amol impatiently pointed a dagger at me as I stood there in silence, and Sera, looking tired, admonished him softly.
“Please stop, Your Highness. This is one of the members of “[Rainbow Sword],” our collaborators, this time. Their leader, Dalton, is a nobleman who has been awarded a quasi-noble title for his achievements.”
“He would be a one-time commoner noble. A Dwarf nobleman and adventurer is no better than a ruffian.”
He sounded a little hard-headed. I exchanged a glance with Elena behind Amol, and she gave a small nod.
We were not “weak” enough to lick each other’s wounds. I turned my back on Amol, who was arguing with Sera, confirming to each other that it was enough to keep each other alive.
