Chapter 901: Volume 28: Long Spear Plowing the Court - 18: Finishing Touch
When Su’erma narrated the events, both Lord Doronny and Count Warren were tremendously moved and shocked. To think that those proud and esteemed knights of the Bohemian Kingdom’s Court Magic Knights and those mages of the Mage Guild, who prided themselves on neutrality and fairness, would degrade into playing the role of hitmen or assassins for some regional forces—it was indeed unbelievable!
If all of this were true, it would undeniably be a huge irony for the entirety of the Bohemia Kingdom and the Mage Guild, severely affecting both their reputation and prestige in the Central Continent region. Nobody has the right to act like this!
"Lord Doronny, Count Warren, all these actions have greatly angered Lord Komer. He always believed that the Bohemia Kingdom was the pillar of the Central Continent region, especially admired for its just and fair stance by the neighboring countries. However, openly intervening in the internal affairs of other countries with such vile methods cannot help but provoke great outrage and dissatisfaction among the people of the Eastern Region of Nicosia. Considering our cordial relations, and as far as we know, these actions are merely those of a very few individuals and do not represent the stance of the Bohemia Kingdom; I represent Lord Komer to negotiate with the Bohemia Kingdom’s representatives," explained Su’erma, his words rational, methodical, and delivered courteously.
"Hmm, Mr. Su’erma, if all this is indeed true, it is surely unacceptable, but I heard you mention bringing knights of our kingdom’s magic, what do you mean by that?" Doronny impulsively asked.
"Honorable Lord Doronny, we would not make such claims without substantial evidence. We indeed have substantial proof, and currently, two knights of your kingdom’s Court Magic Knights, Seringe and Chilomba, are imprisoned in Poznan after being captured. They have detailed the real situation to us; thus, I hope to negotiate with Lord Doronny on the issue of returning these two magic knights," Su’erma said diplomatically.
The disclosure was met with absolute surprise! As Doronny and Warren exchanged glances, they could hardly conceal the glee in their hearts. Having the testimony of these two, if they could bring this evidence into their possession, it would be a fatal blow to Prince Blamonte. While His Majesty the King might turn a blind eye to Blamonte deploying magic knights and mages to secretly support the Galleians out of personal sentiments, involvement in assassination attempts, especially those leading to capture, was utterly unacceptable as it would ruin the reputation of the Bohemia Kingdom—a situation that was absolutely intolerable. And once he took this initiative, then Prince Blamonte...
"Mr. Su’erma, I am quite surprised at your choice of not approaching my elder brother in this matter since it originated with him. Would it not be a better choice to resolve the issue by dealing directly with the person who caused it?" Asked Doronny, after exchanging a glance with Warren.
"Your Highness, Lord Komer is greatly outraged by Prince Blamonte’s actions. Moreover, being hopelessly ensnared in a unilateral romance and used without his awareness, Lord Komer prefers not to engage with Prince Blamonte under these circumstances. We thought Lord Doronny would be the most appropriate arbitrator," replied Su’erma with a shrug.
