The newly awakened soldiers were no less saddened when they found out that they would die as traitors once they were sent to the capital. Everyone was in a chaotic mood, including Raoul, who was silent while bending his knees.“Your Highness, you must flee from this place.

“Long live His Majesty, King Emilio!”Emilio smiled lightly as he finally returned to the last point in his previous life.

The king took his seat before he stared at the shadow lurking in the darkness.“How long are you going to stand there? That little trick of yours won't work on me, by the way.”“ … Excellent, Your Majesty. This is the first time I met a person who can recognize my existence. Ah, this may also be the first time for me, to be directly summoned by a king.”From behind the shadows, a masked man appears in mysterious-looking clothes. Emilio looked at the man with a smile.
