The soldiers reacted immediately to the situation unfolding in front of their eyes.
“How dare you violate the Princess! Even if you are Mr. Bahamut, this kind of thing cannot be forgiven!”
“There is clear evidence! The crime of undermining the authority of the royal family must be dealt with severely!”
Soldiers shouted and at the same time, they began to draw their weapons.
“Stop!”
However, Bahamut shouted with a cold voice.
The soldiers thought he was shouting at them and tried to ignore it, but…the next moment, they couldn’t take another step because of the chilling energy they felt behind them.
“Argh!”
“This… what is this…”
For the first time in their life, the soldiers felt true dread. They couldn’t even muster up the courage to look back.
And, not caring about those two, Bahamut once again gave the order in a clear voice.
“I made it clear. Stop it, Ophelia.”
“….”
Ophelia finally subdued the tsunami of killing intent spewing out at Bahamut’s words.
It was only after the tremendous pressure was gone, the soldiers could feel their stiff bodies loosening up.
“Uhhhhh”
“What…what…that just…”
Soldiers began to take a rough breath and gather their spirits.
However, in the midst of this, they thought that they needed to do what they had to do, and proceeded to apprehend Bahamut.
Bahamut also let them apprehend him without much resistance.
And while watching such a series of situations, Princess Leila just kept a cool expression on her face and didn’t say anything.
***
“That…what do you mean by that? What did Mr. Bahamut do?”
“Yes…that..that is..”
The chamberlain once again explained the situation with a worried expression on his face.
In response, King Mohichi said with a furious expression.
“Such an unscrupulous bas*tard! How dare he try to defile a country’s Princess by force!”
King Mohichi, expressed his anger without hesitation. Even though he received a lot of help from Bahamut, he could not tolerate such a thing as a father.
His daughter had been showing her interest and liking for Bahamut all the time, but the fact that despicable fellow took advantage of his daughter’s innocent heart made the King’s anger even bigger.
“P-please calm down, Your Majesty. However, at this point, Mr. Bahamut is an indispensable figure in this country. If your relationship with him breaks down at a time like this…”
“So what! Are you saying I have to endure it and let it go? No, I will not do such an injustice with my daughter!”
“You have to. Even if he is held accountable in some way later, you have to pass it off as giving an appropriate admonition for now.”
“Sh1t… ”
King Mohichi swallowed his anger at the words of the chief chamberlain. However, he certainly knew that in the current situation, he had no other choice.
Thanks to Bahamut, the Black Legion succeeded in rebuilding, but with Hangury’s current capacity, it could not be maintained without the help of Bahamut and the Beden Merchant Company. Therefore, the King thought that he had no choice but to let go of the current situation for the sake of the country.
“This matter…don’t let it spread. It can also adversely affect the morale of soldiers.”
“Ah…I understand, Your Majesty.”
Although he was saying that, the chief chamberlain was feeling deep concern as he felt the King’s anger still burning hot.
In order to overcome the current crisis situation, the relationship between the King and Bahamut should never break down. Although it did not lead to a catastrophe immediately, the trust was now gone, and it would likely to cause problems in some way or another.
‘Damn it…why did that Bahamut cause trouble at a time like this…’
Recognizing that dark clouds were hanging over the future of the country where the light of hope was shining, the chief chamberlain tried to move his attention to the King’s order.
At that time…
“Father!”
“Le-Leira! My dear princess!”
King Mohichi embraced his daughter as she entered the palace.
Looking at his daughter’s face, which was filled with anxiety, the King began to feel a deep sense of guilt for the fact that he had no choice but to make his child endure such great pain.
