The Devil Does Not Need to Be Defeated

ve yielded the fact that they’ve been meeting a lot recently, as well as the fact that they gathered and left the Capital just a bit ago, before then disappearing.  

 

Those are all points of suspicion.  All of them can be traced.  

 

“For the Kingdom, and for the people.  I thus decided to subjugate those foolish nobles and knights.”  

 

Shien repeatedly made that claim.  

 

The result is that the palace ended up going through a long discussion over this matter.  In the end, just as Shien had predicted, given the power that Shien has shown and the many suspicious acts of the National Knights, the palace decided not to pursue this matter any further.  

 

Although there were still many nobles who claimed that Shien commuted a major crime, costing the palace a ton of fighting power, and so he should be taken into custody.  There were even people who claimed that Shien is just like Diere’s mother from ten years ago, being a spy sent from some other nation to act against the Kingdom.  However, none of those people can bring out any evidence, and they were also quite intimidated by all that Shien had done, so they weren’t able to make anything of that in the end.  

 

The main point is the fact that Shien had already become the master of the black dragon of Ataru.  That fact made quite a lot of people more fearful and cautious.

As for the Kingdom’s side, they ended up considering Shien with even more seriousness.  

 

“Given that he was able to tame such a high leveled dragon, this adventure most likely has an extremely high leveled [Taming] skill.”  

 

With Ancil at the lead, the various higher ups of the Kingdom all thought of this point.  Thus, the gazes they had toward Shien had also changed.  

 

As a note, the vast quantity of wyverns that the master tamer of the Kingdom tamed for the Kingdom is no small force for the Kingdom, be it in combat or support.  

 

The knights of the Royal Knight Order would deploy on wyverns, which greatly boosted their effectiveness.  

 

If Shien could tame true dragons, then the advantages that could bring the Kingdom would be unimaginable.  

 

Just that single factor means that there’s no way that the Kingdom would do anything to Shien so long as it hasn’t been truly determined that he was acting to harm the Kingdom.  

 

That’s not even mentioning the fact that Lucy had chosen to stand on Shien’s side in this matter.  The nobles led by the Latrard family had also been claiming that the National Knight Order’s actions were very suspicious.  In the end, even Jacinta appeared in the audience chamber and signaled his own support for Shien.  Thus, how could the Kingdom possibly try making trouble for Shien?  

 

Thus, after a whole day’s worth of brewing, a piece of news was released to the Capital.  

 

“Many nobles, with the Garibaldi family at the head, colluded with the Old Demon faction in an attempt to hold an evil magic ritual within the Ataru Canyons in a plot to harm the Kingdom.  Now, all the participants, including the mastermind Farbin Garibaldi, have all been subjugated.”  

 

“From now on all the nobles with the Garibaldi family at the head has been attained of their noble titles by the royal family, and thus made into commoners.”

“The National Knight Order will soon be rebuilt.  The captain, vice captain, and various other positions will be selected at a later date.”  

 

“In this matter, the adventurer Shien had contributed great accomplishments, and thus is rewarded by the Kingdom.”  

 

These bits of information exploded out within the Capital and once again spread out to every corner.  

 

Only then did the people learn of all that had happened.  

 

Afterwards, the Kingdom needs to deal with various issues.  

 

For example, with the National Knight Order being heavily damaged, various neighboring nations may attempt to take advantage of the opening, so the Kingdom must intensely monitor any actions and react appropriately.  

 

As another example, the Kingdom will also need to rebuild the National Knight Order, as well as select new noble families to lead the National Knight Order. 

 

The aftermath in the Ataru Canyons will also need to be dealt with.  

 

All of those matters need the Kingdom to decide on a plan to deal with and then to resolve.  

 

Then, no matter what else happens, one person’s name is certain to also be known in every corner of the Capital along with all these events.  

 

That person’s name is Shien.
