Chapter 32 (2/2)

“This way of inheritance tends to be problematic.” Gawain sighed, “I passed away too quickly at that time and I didn’t have enough time to tell my descendants about this…”

Rebecca, “…”

“However, Charlie’s side seems to have passed down the secret very well to his own descendents.” Gawain coughed twice to make the situation less awkward and raised the round platinum plate in his hand. “I came here to find out if the key was still here, since it’s still here, it means that the royal family of Anzu did not take those assets in the past 700 years. Charlie knew about the secrets, so do his descendents, except for his illegitimate son.”

Between years 635 to 636, an internal conflict destroyed the lineage of the royal family and the King did not have any offspring and all his siblings died during the conflict. In the end, the Grand Duke of the North found a commoner who was an alleged illegitimate son of the royal family to inherit the throne…

Even if that illegitimate son was real, he would not have known about the secret of the treasures in the south.

“Those things…” Rebecca’s eyes flashed as she looked at the “key” then she frowned. “Can we use it freely? It is…”

Gawain glanced at this (N+1)th great granddaughter and said, “Of course you can, you are the descendent of the Cecil Clan and you should have some confidence. I buried those things together with Charlie, who else in the world other than Charlie has more rights than me to inherit those treasures? I don’t believe that Charlie can hop out of a coffin like me…”

Rebecca thought for a while and turned around suddenly to grab Amber’s arms,”You must not go and excavate the royal tomb!”

Amber: “…What?”

This half-elf immediately shuddered and looked at Gawain with anxiety. “Wait a moment! I… I have heard such a huge secret… are you going to make use of this opportunity to kill me?”

At that moment, Gawain really wanted to give her a slap using a sword. “Do I have to wait till now if I wanted to kill you?”

Amber was still nervous. “Then why did you let an outsider like me listen to what you two have said…”

“First, I trust you for now and second, I know that you are smart.” Gawain raised the round plate in his hand and continued, “The only audacious thing which you can think of now is to steal this round plate but this plate can only be activated using the blood of the Moen or Cecil Clan. Since it is difficult to determine whether the blood of the Moen Clan is still existent, it is obvious that the only thing which you can do if you want to get some benefits is…”

Amber took a step forward and held her head high then said with a sense of justice, “It is my utmost honour to serve the hero who built this country. I, Amber, would be loyal to the best of my ability, how can we mention money when it comes to something so epic?”

“Then I really won’t talk to you about money…”

“Of course, I’m okay if you insist.”

That was the first time for Gawain to see this shameless person simultaneously exude such a strong sense of justice…

There were no other visitors in the latter part of that night.

Gawain did not need to use the mouse trap and nails which he placed on the windowsill…

Although those things were quite useless for rogues who did not really know or believe in science…

On the second day, Gawain and the group arrived in the Silver Castle after having a good rest.

The reception official who attended to them was the same as the one who met them on the previous day and Francis II replicated the grand welcoming ceremony yesterday. It must be said that he had put in a lot of effort to make things grand.

For this time, the Silver Castle even sent out two teams from the army to pass messages. They patrolled the two main roads outside the royal district to clear the crowd and used magic to amplify the message. “Gawain Cecil, the pioneer of Anzu is about to enter the Silver Castle.”

It seemed like Prince Edmund had passed Gawain’s message to his father well and Francis II had put on a good show to the outsiders.

Gawain did not know how the Shadow Guard reported the situation when he went back. However, it would be obvious from Francis II’s reaction later.

After checking his attire and making sure that the Sword of Pioneers was worn in the most eye-catching place, Gawain entered the Silver Castle with his head held high.
