Chapter 115: Troublemaker


Abium and Helena continued to walk towards the main Palace building and soon saw a few nobles standing near the entrance gate.


At that moment, Abium also saw several Royal Knights clad in silver armor checking the guests. Not only that, but they even confiscated swords, artifacts, and even their space rings from the nobles!


'They are indeed careful. Use the [Storage] spell and store your space ring inside.' Azolla spoke in his mind.


Abium also agreed to her suggestion and did as she told him. First, he took out necessary materials like identification proof, noble seal badge, academic identity badge, etc., from his space ring and put them in a separate leather bag. Then, he gave the leather bag to Helena and spoke.


"Keep it with you."


After that, he used his spiritual scan on the Royal Knights and scanned them silently.


A few seconds later, blue notifications appeared in front of his eyes and showed their body attributes and warrior ranks.


All of them are only third-tier warriors? Too weak!' He raised his eyebrows and quietly joined the queue. But what shocked him most was that the Royal Knights appeared non-cooperative and showed no discipline!


While he was studying them, it soon became their turn.


"Please show me your ID proofs, Mister." One of the silver-armored Royal Knights spoke in a stern voice. He appeared to be around 25 years old, with black hair, a lean face, and amber eyes.


Meanwhile, Helena touched her space ring and took out two crystalline cards before showing them to him.


"It's our Adventurer cards." She then moved her hand into the leather bag, took out Abium's identity card, and gave it to the same Knight.


"This is Abium's identity card."


At that moment, another black-haired knight looked at Abium with a frown and asked suspiciously.


"You are an Elf? How did you get the Peral Kingdom's identity card?"


'Here comes the troublemaker.' Abium wasn't in any mood to argue with a random Royal Knight. Therefore, he quietly took out the golden badge from his pocket and passed it to the other Knight.


"This is the invitation badge I got from the Crown Prince Huggins. If you need more proof, I'll gladly show you more." As Abium spoke, he took the Noble Sealed Badge from the leather bag and showed it to him.


"What type of noble seal is this? A sun with wings? Why have I never heard of such a noble symbol in our kingdom?" Another knight mocked.


Just as Abium was about to explain, a high-pitched voice came from behind.


"Don't let them in, Sir Luke. He is a commoner!"


'Another troublemaker?' Abium furrowed.


What startled him most was that he vaguely felt he had heard that voice before.


He quietly turned around and soon noticed the same guy who told him to kneel inside the magic tower.


Yes, he was one of Robert Lawbarth's lackeys!


Meanwhile, all the surrounding Nobles and the Royal Knights started backing away from Abium and looked at him warily.


A few nobles recognized him instantly but didn't say a word about him being a noble.


They folded their arms and decided to watch what the Royal Knights would do next.


Meanwhile, the Royal Knight, who checked his badge, looked at Robert's lackey and spoke with a hesitant face.


"They have the crown prince's invitation badge, Young Master Philip."


On the other hand, the guy named Philip widened his eyes in shock and then shouted angrily. Orıginal content can be found at nove


"Impossible! How could a commoner have an invitation badge of our Crown Prince? He must have stolen it from others."


Upon hearing those words, most of the Royal Knights suddenly unsheathed their swords and pointed them in Abium's direction.


The Knight Luke also did the same. He even imbued a basic sword aura around the tip of the sword and pointed it directly at Abium's neck.


Although a few Knights hesitated, they followed others and started surrounding Abium and Helena.


But before the Knight Luke could take a step forward and arrest Abium, a woman's cold voice came from the front.


"What are you guys doing?! Is this your way of greeting the Noble Lord?!"


"Noble Lord? I only see a filthy commoner before my eyes, captain." Luke said coldly but decided to move his sword tip away from Abium's neck.


Meanwhile, a 35 to 40-year-old woman walked from inside and glared at the Royal Knight sharply. She had pink-colored wavy long hair, hooded amber eyes, average height and weight, fair skin, ordinary eyebrows, and an oblong face.


She wore an ordinary military dress with black lines, and over her top was a silver breastplate. She also held a long sword at her waist and looked stronger. Although her appearance might look 30 years old, Abium knew she had long crossed 50.


'Lady Roysia? She already became the Captain of Royal Knights?' Surprise flashed on his face. In the past, she was promoted to captain only after the Grand Nobles' Gathering and later became the infamous Lady Knight of Peral Kingdom.


'It must be due to my intervention. Now that I think about it, Margrave Eliot indeed said something about his brother being the Royal Knight Captain, and even he stopped multiple letters to reach King from Prince Huggin and the Mages.'


While he was in deep thoughts, the Lady Knight named Roysia arrived closer to Abium and moved her gaze towards Helena.


No! She was currently looking at Camilla!


"So you're the newly arrived fairy then!" She said with an excited smile and shifted her gaze towards the royal Knight Luke.


"Do you know who got conferred with a Noble Title this morning?" She asked while grabbing the steel sword from Luke's hand.


Meanwhile, confusion appeared on Luke's face. He hurriedly looked at others, but they too gave him a clueless look and shook their heads.


"Well, there is no use in talking now." Saying so, she suddenly gripped the sword hilt, made a rotating hand movement, and slashed the sword at an incredible speed.


But just as the sword was about to land on Luke's neck, it stopped abruptly and gave only a light wound.


In the meantime, Luke felt his hair stand on his back and gulped down his saliva in fear.


"W-What are you doing, Captain?" He asked, stuttering.


On the other hand, Roysia didn't make a single movement and asked calmly.


"May I know why you tried to arrest them?"


"It's a misunderstanding, Captain Roysia. Young Master Philip said they were commoners, so I thought he must have stolen someone's invitation badge and tried to enter the banquet. We did-" Luke's words abruptly stopped.


No!


At that moment, the steel sword had already moved deep into Luke's neck and soon decapitated his head!


When he realized what had happened to him, his vision darkened.


"It's not captain. It's Lady Roysia." She said calmly and shifted her gaze towards the other Royal Knights.


"Clean it up. Send the body to Luke's family and tell them that they will receive the pension amount monthly." Saying so, she turned her gaze towards the grey-robed young mage.


"Young Master Philip, please refrain from creating problems for others from now on. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to make an official complaint to your house." She paused, pointed her finger at Abium, and added coldly.


"Also, he is an Official Mage and a Baron of this Kingdom. If you don't want to become a corpse, be a responsible boy and mind your own business." She scolded him in a stern tone and returned her gaze to Abium.


After that, she knelt on the ground and bowed her head.


"Sorry for the Royal Knights' rude behavior, My Lord. Please forgive them."


On the other hand, Abium wasn't shocked by her display.


When Luke pointed the sword tip at his neck, the fate of the young Knight was already decided.


Most of the nearby Nobles didn't utter a word and watched his every action for this moment. The foolish Knight's life would have been saved if any of them had intervened earlier.


Unfortunately, there was no saint among these nobles.


Abium cast those useless thoughts from his head and spoke.


I have already forgiven them, Lady Roysia. Stand up."


Taking a deep breath, Roysia nodded her head and stood up.


"Are these Royal Knights newly recruited to the job?" Abium couldn't help but ask as he sized up the Royal Knights.


Meanwhile, a forced smile appeared on Roysia's face.


"The Royal Family wanted to replace all the previous Royal Knights, but what they got as a replacement was nothing but a bunch of fools, My Lord. And, I became the head of these fools. The death of this guy will scare them a bit." She said in a bitter tone and invited him to enter the Palace.


The Palace's interior appeared to be made entirely of gold from afar, and when Helena got close enough to touch it, she noticed that it was painted in gold.


The most surprising thing was that the floors were entirely marbled, and the stairs were polished.


As she was fascinated by the interior designs, the group moved on the long corridor and soon stopped in front of the right-side hall.


At that moment, a 2-meter-tall guard stood outside the hall and looked at Abium up and down.


He then turned his gaze towards Roysia and asked.


"May I know the Young Lord's name, Lady Roysia?"


"No need to announce my arrival." Abium stopped him from shouting his name and looked inside instead.


"Then, I'll return to my position, Lord Baron."


Meanwhile, Roysia bowed her head towards Abium and stepped backward.


"Go on,"


Saying so, Abium smiled lightly and stepped on the red-carpeted floor.


'Finally, I can stand equal to these nobles.' He muttered inwardly.
