Shien didn’t know it at the time, but news of his entry into Cosmos had been passed to the captain of the Stalim family’s First Knight Order right away.
“A young noble bearing the royal token?”
A handsome knight with blond hair and green eyes received his subordinate’s report and frowned.
At a more careful look, that person was actually wearing the armor of the Kingdom’s Royal Knights.
Naturally, it was Limgir.
This young ducal heir had hurriedly returned in order to deal with the strange incidents occurring in their territory, and he was immediately sent here to take responsibility for resolving the matter.
Likely, not even Shien could have predicted that he would appear in Cosmos at the same time as Limgir, right?
It’s only natural that Limgir didn’t expect it either.
However, the report about a noble holding a royal token did greatly catch Limgir’s attention.
It’s because, as far as he knows, there’s only a single person who matches this description.
The person in question is someone he greatly disliked, so there’s no way that Limgir wouldn’t focus on him.
Of course, Limgir wasn’t alone. There were also two middle-aged men here.
“Do you know of this person? Limgir?”
The person who spoke up was the relatively taller man among the two of them. Given the way he was dressed, he should be a knight, but he completely gives off the aura of a military officer instead. His face bears some amount of resemblance to Bali’s as well as Limgir’s.
This is also only natural.
This person is the younger brother of the current head of the Limgir family. In other words, he’s Bali’s brother and Limgir’s uncle. At the same time, he’s also the second in command of the Stalim family and is the one in charge of all the Stalim family’s knight orders. He’s the supreme commander for the knight orders of the Stalim Dukedom, Julius Stalim.
“Uncle.” Limgir turned to Julius and, after a moment of hesitation, spoke, “I can’t be certain if he is the person I know, but according to my knowledge, there’s only one young noble bearing a royal token within the Capital.”
When he got to that point, Limgir couldn’t help but leak out some of his feelings though his tone.
Julius was very much sharp enough to notice it.
“What? Is there a problem between the two of you?”
Julius turned to look toward his nephew.
At this moment, the middle-aged knight next to Julius spoke up.
“Someone actually dared to offend young master Julius?” That middle-aged man had a vicious glint in his eyes and grinned cruelly as he spoke, “Shall I made some minor arrangements then?”
That vicious looking middle-aged knight is named Sunir Regisrig. He’s a vassal count under the Stalim ducal family, and at the same time, he’s also the captain of the Stalim Dukedom’s First Knight Order and Julius’s subordinate.
He was the one who brought the news of Shien’s entry into Cosmos. He’s also the elder brother of Julius’s most adored wife and is Julius’s brother in law, which is why he dared to speak so straightforwardly here.
That said, Limgir really did rather want to do that.
If this young noble with the royal token really is Shien, then he would be quite overjoyed.
In the past, Bali had attempted to trick Shien to the Stalim Dukedom in order to use Shien for his ambition. He had even set traps within the Stalim Dukedom, but in the end, Shien made all of that pointless, handing the Stalim family a secret loss.
This time, if Shien really had arrived at Limgir’s home turf, then Limgir would only naturally want to make it so that Shien never left.
It also just happens that there’s currently a very chaotic problem here right now, so even if he did get Shien killed here, the Stalim family would have a hundred ways to escape responsibility.
Sunir obviously only dared to speak of making arrangements thanks to that. He had no fear whatsoever of the fact that Shien had the royal token and the fact that Shien had the royal family’s backing.
Julius didn’t object at all either. It seems like he similarly cared nothing for the fact that Shien had the royal family behind him.
In this situation, if the situation was normal, then Limgir would definitely have nodded without hesitation.
However, as he remembered the various events around Shien, Limgir had to first ask one question.
“Did he come by himself? Or did he have other people along with him?”
Limgir showed a very serious expression as he asked that.
“He wasn’t on his own.” Sunir immediately replied, “According to the guard’s report, he also had a maid and two very young little girls with him.”
As he said that, Sunir even showed some signs of disdain on his face,
This captain of the First Knight Order did rather look down on Shien for bringing along a maid and little girls like some dandy despite coming here while fully knowing how chaotic and dangerous the situation here is.
“Does he think this is a casual vacation destination or something?”
Sunir’s voice was filled with utter contempt.
Yet, who could have thought that after hearing his words, Limgir suddenly reacted with alarm.
“What do those two little girls look like?”
Limgir hurriedly questioned him in a rather urgent tone.
This made Julius react somewhat, and Sunir was also rather surprised.
“What is it? Young master Limgir?” Sunir asked with confused, “Aren’t they just two little girls? There’s no need for you to be so concerned, right?”
“No need to be concerned?” Limgir smiled coldly, “If you’re not concerned, then you might not understand just who you ended up offending even when you’re dead.”
Those words gave Sunir quite a shock.
“Explain it clearly.” Julius frowned, “What’s the issue with those two little girls?”
Limgir just gave a difficult laugh before shifting next to Julius’s ear and whispering a few words.
