Chapter 217: Rakshasa (3)
TL/ED – Miso
“So, the attacker is a member of the Rakshasa, and you’re saying you’ll help with the search?”
“Yes. They’re after me, aren’t they? I should be the one to handle it.”
When I stated my intent as if it were the obvious thing, Karos hesitated slightly.
“Hmm… having the target help would make contact easier, but there’s a slight problem.”
“A problem?”
“The Wax Wings Knight Order wasn’t an order that existed from the start. It was hastily assembled to deal with the Crimson Circle, so outstanding men were drawn from other knight orders. From the perspective of the Knight Commanders who originally held those knights, it was quite a bolt from the blue, and on top of that, they ended up dying at the hands of unknown assassins…”
“Ah. So some of it’s on me too.”
“No, no! I’m not saying it’s your fault, Jern. How could it be your sin that those lunatics made you their target? It’s just that even before this, there were a few Knight Commanders who questioned whether it was right for a Fallen who isn’t even a knight to hold the position of Vice Knight Commander, so if you sit in with them, the atmosphere won’t be pleasant.”
