Chapter 189: “Colony”
“Your Majesty, there is no excuse I can offer…”
“Huh? What happened? Did you let the king escape?”
Since the situation had concluded, Deas was [Summoned] to the Hiers Castle.
As soon as he appeared, he knelt and began apologizing abruptly.
“No, we killed someone who seemed to be the king, but it seems some of the royal family members managed to escape.”
“Oh, is that so?”
After destroying the main camp where the king was located, Deas, leading the Adamant Scouts, launched a surprise attack on the palace. It seemed that all the elves and high elves inside the palace were killed, except for the king’s eldest son, the first prince, who had already escaped to the town.
“It’s strange that he managed to escape after we launched a surprise attack. The plan details were probably known only to you, Deas. If that’s the case, maybe he left the city regardless of how the attack on the capital would turn out.”
“If the city is under attack, one would normally think of taking refuge in the most heavily defended palace. However, if he was in the city when it was attacked, it might mean he had a great deal of trust in the king and the knights.”
