Chapter 196: (Self Edited) A Scene in the Royal Capital
When the sound of the sword fight subsided and the door was unlocked, the bodies of two Knights were lying there.
“Two people?” (Yuri)
“Yes, Your Excellency. Three surrendered.” (??)
A Knight from the Hou Household reported.
“They still had some loyalty, it seems.” (Yuri)
After gunshots were heard from inside the room, the five guards were surrounded by a large number of Hou Household’s soldiers, arrangements made to urge them to surrender. The call for surrender could be heard from inside the room, but these two resisted and ended up dead. It meant there were those willing to risk their lives for loyalty.
“Yuri-kun, even if it’s you, wouldn’t two of them put up a fight? They’re trusted aides of the General household, after all.”
“Now that you mention it, you’re probably right.” (Yuri)
Being brought here must have meant they were among the top five in the group.
