Chapter 320.1
According to the report, Myung King was leading a grand procession. It was said that Myung King, riding on a horse, personally escorted a large and magnificent carriage. Kasser speculated on who might be riding in that carriage.
“Could it be the former queen?”
Since Myung King was still unmarried, the only important guest who could be so highly regarded by the king would be his birth mother. Anika Liza, the former queen of the Kingdom of Flake, had stayed in the kingdom instead of returning to her homeland. To be precise, she had returned to the Holy City a few years after giving birth to her child, but she came back to the kingdom when the previous king of Flake passed away.
When the former king of Flake left this world, the current Myung King was only ten years old. Anika Liza must have appeared as a caring mother to the young son who had been left alone. It was a contrasting behavior to another Anika’s indifference towards the king’s child. Anika Liza’s maternal love was exceptional, something that had never been seen before.
That’s why Myung King was known for his deep filial piety towards his mother.
“The former queen of Flake is coming to the Holy City?”
As far as Kasser knew, Anika Liza had never visited the Holy City after going to the Kingdom of Flake. So there were rumors that Anika Liza had become severely ill, or that Myung King was preventing his mother from going to the Holy City. There were various speculations going around.
There were other concerning aspects in the report as well. The number of warriors accompanying Myung King on this journey was unusually high. Even when Kasser came to the Holy City, he brought a considerable number of warriors, but Myung King’s entourage consisted of more than twice as many. The presence of so many warriors accompanying them on the way to the Holy City raised suspicions.
‘Even if it’s for the protection of Myung King’s mother, it seems excessive.’
