Chapter 805 - 816 Some Problems
Three corpses turned their heads in unison, staring at Lancelot with puzzled and bewildered eyes. After a while, it seemed they finally reacted and realized their current situation.
"Uh, I apologize. We must have been imprisoned for so long that we’ve even forgotten basic etiquette..." The dried-up old man straightened his back, suddenly appearing quite tall. "Great Lord of the Dead and honored Divine Envoys, I am Tedder Derrick, the tenth King of the Derrick Kingdom. Here is my Queen, Yushiel, and our youngest daughter, Fran."
"Thank you for your mercy, my lord." The Queen also curtsied politely. It was apparent that there was scarcely any moisture left in her body. "We await your command."
"You look like a nobleman, Mr. Lancelot." The Princess finally spoke, staring straight at the Human Knight with unblinking eyes. "Perhaps I should address you as Sir?"
"Titles don’t matter." Lancelot shrugged. "I have some questions I’d like to ask you…"
"Answer his questions," Cranvo chimed in, "as if I were the one asking."
"Of course, my lord." The King first respectfully answered Cranvo, then turned to the Human Knight. "How may I serve you, Sir Lancelot?"
"Honorable King Tedder, please tell me about your plight and the reasons behind all this." Lancelot said quietly. "It might help us defeat your heir, Peyton Derrick."
"May the gods curse that name!!" The King’s emotions flared up again. "Regicide! Patricide! Matricide!"
"And his own younger sister," the Princess added coldly.
