Chapter 127
Was my request that difficult? — I couldn’t help but wonder as Rexid had returned to the private residence with a big gaping wound on his shoulder.
He said that he encountered some assassins, but… why did he never bother to think? He should have taken a whole entourage of guards with him since he didn’t know when he was going to die.
After taking his clothes off, I began scolding him as I treated his wounds.
“Did I make such a difficult request?!”
“It wasn’t difficult! I did everything that you asked!”
Of course, he did bring good news. I didn’t know what kind of trick he had pulled, but he was able to delay the execution of Simmon Cardell, the Commander of the Imperial knights, until after the national funeral. That was far more satisfactory than I originally anticipated.
He bought a little over a month of time.
That wasn’t all.
