Chapter 1077: Chapter 806: Let’s Pay a Visit
Reiger’s so-called "going out for a walk" doesn’t mean just strolling around Liz’s bedchamber; he actually wants to go outside.
With Yuloli, Liz, and Luna in tow, Reiger directly left the bedchamber.
Originally, such a group leaving Liz’s bedchamber smoothly would have been impossible.
After all, Liz was still under house arrest by the King.
If Liz just wandered within the bedchamber, she’d have relative freedom without restriction.
But to leave the bedchamber, permission from the team of knights, all wearing True Knight Medals at the bedchamber’s door, would be needed.
If Liz alone wanted to lead the way out, this knight squad would definitely stop her.
However, if it’s Reiger leading, that’s a different matter.
As the current Sword Saint, who forced King Hemulinp to step back with his power, the knights already knew something about why Reiger appeared in Liz’s quarters.
They also knew that concerning Liz, King Hemulinp had already compromised to a certain extent, softening his stance and now relying on Reiger’s cooperation.
Thus, seeing Reiger leading the group out, the knights exchanged glances, then pretended not to see, allowing Reiger and the others to leave the bedchamber.
This left Luna feeling somewhat incredulous.
"We were let through so easily?"
Clearly, this maid hadn’t realized the scale of Reiger’s actions within the palace or how daunting he appeared to others.
She was just a maid, serving Liz—a homebody—and rarely left Liz’s quarters, thus having limited exposure, or she wouldn’t have confronted Reiger.
Even a Sword Saint, no matter how young, isn’t someone a mere maid can challenge.
Let alone Luna, even a former princess like Marilyn had no ground to confront a Sword Saint.
Even King Hemulinp had to treat Reiger courteously, albeit superficially, highlighting the Sword Saint’s status.
Luna’s naivety could be attributed to ignorance as fearlessness.
Fortunately, Reiger wasn’t one to emphasize status; otherwise, Luna might have been charged with disrespect, facing a dreadful fate.
While the maid still found it unbelievable, Reiger was already strolling around the area, holding Liz with one hand and Yuloli with the other.
This area was mostly filled with palaces, cool and quiet, only occasionally patrolled by knights or bustling with servants handling chores, with nothing else to see.
"Is it always this deserted here?"
Reiger glanced around, casually asking.
"Because the residents here rarely show themselves," Luna instinctively explained, "Princesses like Her Highness, who haven’t been betrothed, live here, as well as some concubines overlooked by the King, and a few equally overlooked royal members."
"For example, the frail Crown Prince Kuhart Jinasi used to live here until he took the position of a modern magic professor at Sprille Academy and moved out."
"Then there’s the Seventh Prince Boel Jinasi, who, due to his disposition, remained unliked by the King and still resides here."
"Oh, and the Third Prince Solok Jinasi recently moved into these palaces."
Hearing this last sentence, Reiger raised an eyebrow.
"That mad dog lives here now too?"
Reiger’s disparaging words startled Luna.
Only Liz, understanding the issues between Reiger and Solok, softly explained.
"Brother Solok...the Third Prince moved to this palace area after he was severely injured recently; it’s said that the King wanted him to recuperate in peace."
Upon hearing this, Reiger squinted his eyes.
"Is his injury not healed yet?"
Reiger’s tone seemed calm, with a hint of sarcasm and amusement.
"Yes." Liz, not picking up on the nuance, honestly replied, "The King healed his serious injuries with an ancient treasure, but he reportedly still needed some time to recuperate."
"However, it shouldn’t be long before he’s fully recovered, right?"
After all, this is a magical world.
With the aid of healing magic and restorative magic potions, even Reiger, who was once gravely injured by the , recovered fully in just a month, so the mad dog prince, being a prince, would receive no less recovery care, perhaps even better.
Thus, despite being in a critical condition, Solok should be nearly healed by now.
"Listening to you, I’m actually a bit nostalgic for him," Reiger said in a calm tone, then changed the subject, "Which palace does he live in?"
"Um..." Liz was momentarily stumped.
She had only recently returned to the palace.
Solok’s incident occurred shortly after she left the palace, becoming Reiger’s attendant, only returning recently.
As such, Liz couldn’t possibly know which palace Solok resided in.
"That one."
It was Luna who quickly pointed in a direction, directing Reiger’s gaze there.
The palace Luna indicated was a splendid and magnificent one.
