Chapter 330: Section 227: Trading Is Always Pleasant (Part 1)
After sending Colin and Malin away, Manli entered the hall and looked at Anna sitting there, feeling somewhat irritable without reason.
It wasn’t because Anna had told her why Sayer Kay, who had just gotten married, must die. To her, any warrior who didn’t cherish their weapons and armor was bound to die from that negligence.
It wasn’t just her who thought this way; her husband Goethe and most other Nobles would agree.
The God of Justice had declared for him, making it impossible for any Noble to become his enemy over this matter—because that would be making an enemy of the entire knightly Noble circle.
That fellow named Sayer Carter, who had betrayed the love of a Holy Emblem, deserved death for such a betrayal... to not punish him was inexcusable.
What troubled her was the power displayed by Malin; she didn’t want to see the Mowish royal family fall during her generation because the people needed heroes, and unfortunately, her own children didn’t look the part of heroes.
But Malin was different. According to the intelligence reports, he always led the charge, be it in Parol City or Carterburg, whether it was a Chaos invasion or the Evil God Cult; he was always on the front lines.
If he were to die randomly, he would be just another reckless man, but if he continued to live, standing firm like a beacon, then everyone would watch him, listen to him... and worship him.
Just like the ancestors of Mowish, who had survived great calamities to secure the throne.
It was too dangerous, Manli warned herself more than once; this child must not be allowed to stay—he had to be gotten rid of at the first opportunity.
