Subaru Natsuki, who returned from the new Three Kingdoms

Emilia's faction needs someone like this.

As Natsuki Subaru arranged these matters in his mind and got up to carry them out, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the palace.

The children immediately stood ready, and then several figures were seen passing through the dilapidated corridor.

Russell Ferro walked at the front, his clothes stained with sewage from the sewers, and beads of sweat still clinging to his forehead from his journey.

But a smug smile appeared on his lips.

He had just deliberately made the other six members of the Tongue slow down the others, causing them to fall far behind the three of them.

This way, we can prevent others from stealing Lord Crusch's credit!

Behind him, Wilhelm's white hair was disheveled by the wind, and his sword sheath was covered with a layer of dust.

Reinhard still maintained his usual smile, but fine dust settled in his red hair.

The three of them quickened their pace along the way.

The news of the palace being invaded weighed heavily on everyone's mind.

Russell Ferro wished he could rush to the main hall immediately and completely eliminate those madmen who dared to invade the capital.

But once he stepped into the hall and saw the figure standing in front of the throne, Wilhelm, who had just been furious, stopped in his tracks.

Reinhard stopped beside him almost simultaneously.

Neither swordsman drew their swords.

Only Russell Ferro's fierce gaze pierced through the mess in the hall and landed fixedly on the black-haired youth before the throne.

He had seen that face countless times through portraits.

The suspicions, dissatisfaction, and anger that had been building up in my chest for days finally found an outlet at this moment.

really.

This guy is definitely not a good person!

He didn't even check if Crusch was injured before pointing to the throne.

"Subaru Natsuki!"

The sound exploded in the hall.

"How dare you lead your troops into the royal palace and usurp the rightful throne of Lugnica!"

"You gained trust under the guise of saving the kingdom, and then took advantage of the capital's vulnerability to lead your men into the palace."

"This conspiracy is over!"

Russell Ferro turned around abruptly and looked at the two swordsmen behind him.

The anger in his eyes was still burning, but his voice could no longer contain his urgency.

"Sword Saint Reinhard!"

"Lord Wilhelm the Sword Demon!"

"You two saw it too."

"Lord Crusch and Commander Marcus are missing and their fates are unknown, and Lord Mycroft has also fallen into the hands of thieves!"

"Please make your move immediately!"

"If we don't kill this traitor here today, the Kingdom of Lugnica will be destroyed by his own hand!"

The sound echoed in the main hall.

With each word he spoke, the bodies of Natsuki Subaru's children behind him tensed up a little more.

The Sword Demon Wilhelm and the Sword Saint Reinhard are the kingdom's top combat forces.

Can they really win?

After shouting, Russell Ferro turned around, his face full of confidence, waiting for the sword light to fall and kill the traitor.

But half a day passed... and the sound of a sword being drawn, which he had been expecting, still did not ring out in the main hall.

Reinhard and Wilhelm stood motionless in place.

Wilhelm gazed at the black-haired youth in front of him, his eyes lingering on the youth's face before slowly settling into his eyes.

Those eyes, without a doubt!

There were things he recognized inside!

It was the sharpness of holding the sword in the mansion at dawn.

It was the boastful statement he made when he declared his intention to become sworn brothers with the border lord before entering the territory.

And there's that kind of heaviness that only comes after experiencing many life-and-death situations!

It's Subaru, the person in front of me is the real Subaru!

Reinhard's reaction was even more intense.

He stared at the black-haired youth before the throne, his lips trembling slightly, unable to utter a complete sentence immediately.

He raised his hand to the hilt of the Dragon Sword.

A violent vibration came from the hilt of the sword.

The Dragon Sword was responding to that familiar aura.

Only that person could excite Long Jian to such an extent...

Pleiades...

Reinhard's smile remained on his face, but his eyes were already filled with barely suppressed emotion, and tears were about to well up in his eyes.

Subaru is back...

Subaru is really back...

Last time, he killed his beloved grandmother.

This time... he finally didn't kill his best friend...

A surge of redemption coursed through Reinhard's body, causing him to momentarily forget everything else.

Russell Filo, who was standing at the very front, waited for a long time, but when there was still no movement, the excitement in his eyes was gradually replaced by confusion.

"why?"

"Why haven't these two, grandfather and grandson, made a move yet?"

"Why doesn't Natsuki Subaru show any fear at all?"

Russell Ferro looked at Subaru Natsuki, who was sitting in the main seat, with a puzzled expression, a feeling of being out of his control welled up inside him...

Just then, Natsuki Subaru waved to them nonchalantly, his tone as relaxed as if he had just bumped into an acquaintance on the street.

"Ah~ the little girl is here~"

Chapter 98: 095. The affairs of the world are in my hands!

The palace, which had just been pacified, still bore the marks of battle, with broken stone pillars lying on either side and pebbles scattered on the carpet—all the work of Clarissa's abilities.

Natsuki Subaru stood in the middle of this mess, a triumphant smile on his face, as if this palace was rightfully his to take over.

"Ah~ the little girl is here~"

Natsuki Subaru looked at the three people below with a relaxed expression, mainly Reinhard.

Subaru's face showed surprise and a smile.

There was no fear.

It was as if he hadn't encountered two knights renowned throughout the kingdom while attacking the palace.

Instead, I happened to run into a friend while shopping.

Even before he came, when he decided to abduct the prime minister's carriage, he had already prepared himself to confront Wilhelm, who was loyal to Crusch.

But to his surprise, Reinhard also came.

Great, that's really great!

That saves me the trouble of going to say goodbye to him myself.

As for whether Reinhard would take action against him, Subaru Natsuki was not worried.

After all, in Natsuki Subaru's opinion, Reinhard was a reasonable person.

They're brothers, after all! Reinhard not only helps him take care of Rem!

They wouldn't even let Rem cook a meal!

And he even sent him to prison when he wanted to go to the prison to drink.

This kind of relationship is priceless; how could Reinhard possibly lay a hand on him?

Besides, as a friend, I certainly wouldn't want to put Reinhard in a difficult position!

As long as he makes Reinhard understand that everything he does is for Lugnica to become a ruler of the world like Yuan Shao.

Everything is for Lugnica's good!

He can then legitimately leave the game running unattended!

So, Natsuki Subaru greeted him in a hearty manner.

Meeting the black-haired youth's ardent gaze, Reinhard's breathing became erratic once again.

Subaru is back...

Really back!

He instinctively lifted his toes, wanting to walk over and apologize to the other person.

Apologize for the ignorance in prison, and for the reprimand that was thought to be correct.

The person who truly deserves to be reprimanded is himself!

But as he saw the cracks all over the ground and the knights trapped in them, Reinhard's foot, which had been about to step out, fell back to its original spot.

The knight's instincts compelled him to grip the hilt of the dragon sword.

But this time, the sword remained sheathed for a long time.

Lost his grandmother at a young age.

He was completely treated as a tool by his father.

And the moment I learned that Subaru had disappeared from prison~

These are the three most painful memories of Reinhard's life.

The damage caused by Subaru's incident was even greater than the previous two incidents, especially since it had just happened.

In the past, the first two things would only replay in his mind when he had free time.

However, the matter of Subaru, even as he desperately tries to be a perfect knight, continues to backfire on his heart.

He now spends almost every day reflecting on the military strategies Subaru taught him.

Don't trust your eyes and ears...

Reinhard thought he was destined to suffer like this for the rest of his life.

Fortunately, the black-haired youth finally returned.

There's still a chance!

The only problem is:

Subaru's return was hardly a scene of...obedience?

A palace in ruins.

The knight trapped in the crack.

Natsuki Subaru, dressed in a black cloak, stood before the throne, with a group of men and women of unknown origin gathered behind him.

Just by looking at him, you can tell that Zhebang is no ordinary person. [It's fate!]

In the past, Reinhard would have already drawn his sword and charged forward. Even if the attackers of the palace were his closest friends, he would have prioritized fulfilling his duty as a swordsman.
