Chapter 50

The first volume of the comic adaptation of "Raidor Holy Sword War Chronicles" is now on sale!

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the readers who have supported us!

"Alright, Raidor... Where are Princess Seria von Arsline and the Holy Sword Clausolas? Why haven't you brought them here?"

From his throne, which was on a higher platform, Granado looked down at his younger brother with a puzzled expression. Raidor, finally asked, raised the corners of his lips and answered proudly.

"If you're talking about the beautiful princess, she's being entertained at my mansion. It's a great honor that the first guest in the mansion I received is a princess from another country."

"Ridiculous! How dare you keep a royal captive and not hand her over to me, your lord! Do you intend to break your promise to fight for the country!?"

"On the contrary, the agreement in the oath was that the treasures and captives I took would be mine. Have you forgotten that?"

"Wha... That...!"

Granado's face turned red with anger, and he was about to protest further but swallowed his words. If he were to provoke him here, the oath's curse marked on his chest might be activated. Clenching his teeth, he glared at his smirking younger brother with a demonic expression.

"Anyway, you're going to enter peace negotiations with the empire, right? Until the negotiations are over, I'll take care of Princess Seria. Don't worry, I'll release her once the negotiations are successfully concluded."

"...What is your purpose? There's no point in you keeping the princess."

"Purpose? Well, maybe I want some time to court the lovely and beautiful princess?"

"...It seems you have no intention of answering seriously."

Granado's eyes narrowed even more, and he stomped his foot in frustration. Leaning on the armrest, he thought for a moment and then sighed as if giving up.

"...Very well, I'll entrust Princess Seria and the Holy Sword Clausolas to you."

"Thank you, I appreciate your kindness."

"However, don't get too cocky. Eventually, the curse you've placed will be removed by the court magicians. You should think of your plea for mercy while you still can."

Granado pointed to the curse mark on his chest through his clothes, saying it with disgust. "Remember this when the curse is lifted" — he clearly threatened, and Raidor raised his hands in surrender.

"Don't scare me like that. I might shrink, you know."

"...That's all. Get out of here quickly."

"Understood... Oh, and don't forget to send the aid money to the frontier city. If you break your promise..."

"Get out now! Don't make me say it again!"

"Alright, alright."

Shrugging his shoulders, Raidor left the throne room as his brother, the king, raised his voice. Granado glared at the door his brother had disappeared through for a while, then turned to his attendant and barked orders.

"Lockwood, quickly advance the peace negotiations with the empire and reclaim the lost territories! Don't forget to expose the traitors within the court! Galst, fortify the defenses until the peace negotiations are over!"

"Hai..."

"Understood."

"Got it, don't give that foolish brother of mine any chance to scheme! End the war with the empire as soon as possible and eliminate him! This time, placing a curse on me won't end with just exile... at the very least, he'll be imprisoned, and depending on the situation, I'll have his head!"

"..."

"..."

Lockwood and Galst fell silent, looking back at the king who was shouting with a mix of emotions.

This novel is also being serialized!
