I became the sick nobelman

Chapter 93 - Banquet (4)

Adoris wiped a smile from his face and revealed his true feelings. His face, which showed sincerity, looked very uneasy.

"Convince my brother, Banios, to stay out of this."

"...?"

What does that mean?

Words did not come out of Ruel's throat at the absurd request.

"What you want to know is the one who planted the mark on you, the truth of what happened five years ago. I know, so... "

"Wait a minute."

At that moment, Ruel realized that Adoris was serious.

'Are you crazy?'

Adoris, who had joined hands with Carbena, who had turned Setiria into a mess, was now brazenly demanding a favor of himself.

"Are you saying this in your right mind?"

The words couldn't come out politely.

They gave him poison disguised as medicine, only to leave.

He was one of the culprits who tried to take his life, but that person was proudly asking for a deal, citing things from the past.

'How can a piece of shit like you underestimate me like this?'

"I am well aware that my request is not easy, and I promise to protect you from the Red Ash if you do me a favor."

"You?"

Ruel snorted.

He saw the Red Ash swaying the Cyronian nobles.

He was also aware of the attack on the King of Cyronian.

Not only had he faced a black-blooded man but also met the Great Man in person.

Can a prince with nothing but power protect himself from such lunatics?

"You?"

His stomach was so hot.

He could feel the blood surging to his eyes.

He seemed to be laughing at all the struggles he'd made so far.

"Can you protect me?"

Quaang!

Ruel hit the table hard.

Bang!

Along with it, a plate shattered into broken pieces, embedding glass shards into Ruel's hand.

—Ugh. Ruel, what's wrong with you? Doesn't it hurt?

Leo's words did not reach his ears.

Ruel had an urge to tear Adoris apart at any moment.

"How are you going to protect me from the Red Ash? I don't think you can protect your younger brother properly, so why are you asking me? Are you saying that you can protect me?"

"The situation between you and my brother is different, and unlike you, my brother has too many enemies to protect against."

Enemy?

"Aren't you my enemy right now? It's not the Third Prince that has many enemies, it's me. It is me, not the Third Prince, the enemy is after!"

"Didn't you attract them in the first place?! I'm telling you to take responsibility for it!"

"It is you who brought in the Third Prince!"

"...What?"

Adoris was so surprised that he forgot to even get angry at Ruel's words.
