There was no one else in the throne room.

Only King Siegmund sat on the throne.

He showed no sign of being agitated by the occupation of his palace, and was even smiling.

The madness of the tyrant, the downfall of his dynasty, did not seem to faze him.

“Keke…. Kekehkeh!”

Siegmund cackled as soon as he saw Camille.

Camille wondered what was so funny….

“Amazing, how amazing. Keke…. Kekehkeh!”

 

“……”

 

“I knew this day would come, but I never thought it would be you who would come for my head. Isn’t it amazing, Camille?”

It was certainly a remarkable twist of fate.

No matter how entangled they were by their past enmity, it was no exaggeration to say that Camille had no chance of killing Siegmund.

No one expected Camille, a knight from a small rural estate, to be the one to come for Siegmund’s head.

Not even Camille himself.

“How does it feel? Coming for the head of your old master?”

Camille didn’t answer.

*Skrrr!*

Instead, he unsheathed his sword and pointed it at Siegmund.

“I was never your knight, Siegmund. I merely served as your apprentice knight for a year.”

“Kekeke! Are you denying our bond?”

Siegmund snickered.

“You’re the one who saved me, and thanks to that, I ended up on this cursed throne. Are you saying you weren’t my knight?”

Camille did not answer yet again.

His time in Siegmund’s service was the most regrettable time of his life.

Trying to engage him in conversation would only disrupt his composure.

“Draw your sword.”

Camille spoke to Siegmund.

“As boring as ever, you are.”

Siegmund rose from his throne and slowly drew his greatsword.

“Do you have to be so uptight, even at this touching moment?”

“….”

“Well, I guess it doesn’t matter. It can’t hurt to have you as a companion on the final stretch of my life.”

*Thump*

Siegmund descended the stairs and raised his greatsword with a sneer.

“I hope you’ll entertain me at least a little, Camille.”

At the same time, Siegmund swung his greatsword.

*Swooosh!*

A powerful blast of sword wind swept over Camille.

Thus began the final duel between the former master and servant, each risking their very lives.

Siegmund’s strength was beyond imagination.

Despite having indulged in years of tyranny and hedonism, Siegmund, who was born with genius swordsmanship skills, still overwhelmed Camille.

Thus, Camille was unable to launch a proper offensive for a while, being pushed back unilaterally and driven into a corner.

At one point.

“You’ve gotten stronger at least.”

Siegmund’s greatsword slammed into Camille.

“Kahhhh!”

Camille spat up blood and fell to the ground.

“You know you can’t defeat me, no matter how much you resist, right?”

“Cough!”

“Surely you won’t make it boring until the end, will you? Camille?”

Siegmund frowned while looking at Camille.

“…I’m not here for your amusement.”

Camille pushed himself to his feet.

*Crackle!*

*Crackle!*

Sparks began to shoot from Camille’s sword.

Light Speed Sword.

One of the Kuntachi family’s arcane sword techniques, it was said that when one reached a high level of mastery, they could virtually equal the speed of light.

“I… have come to clear my past karma.”

“Hmph! You mean the karma that put me on the throne?”

“By eliminating you… I will surely wipe clean my previous actions.”

A second later.

*BANG!*

Camille disappeared from Siegmund’s sight.

“…..!”

Siegmund was surprised.

*Spark!*

Camille, who had suddenly appeared in front of him, slashed his sword at Siegmund.

*Splatter!*

Blood gushed out of Siegmund’s chest.

A sword that may lose in strength, but certainly not in speed.

That was Camille’s sword, a speed of light sword.

‘I can see it.’

Camille’s eyes caught Siegmund’s shortcomings.

There was no time to think.

Camille swung his sword as he had honed it, following the motion of the light speed sword.

“You bug.”

Siegmund attempted a desperate counterattack, but defending against Camille’s onslaught was impossible.

Camille’s swordsmanship was in full bloom, a realization that had been gaining ground over the years of rigorous training.

The effects of his subconscious training were beginning to show in this life-and-death duel.

As a result,

*Swiish!*

Camille’s sword shot out like a beam of light, aimed at Siegmund.

“Kuck….”

*Sqelch*

Camille’s sword pierced the center of Siegmund’s chest.

“….!”

Siegmund’s eyes widened in disbelief.

He couldn’t move.

He writhed and trembled as if struck by lightning, and then slowly collapsed.

*Thump*

Siegmund collapsed to his knees.

“This damned king… dom.”

Siegmund muttered with a wicked grin.

“Finally… the… end… in… my… line… Keke. This is my….”

Camille did not allow Siegmund’s last words to come to fruition.

*Squelch!*

Camille pulled the sword out of Siegmund’s chest and swung it at his neck.

*Thud!*

*Rolls!*

Siegmund’s severed head tumbled to the floor.

Camille silently sheathed his sword in its scabbard.

Why Siegmund had become a tyrant, what was in his mind, what had driven him to madness.

Camille did not want to know.

It seemed vaguely familiar, but he didn’t want to dwell on it.

“I don’t want to hear the stories of the wicked.”

Camille spat at Siegmund’s corpse.

“Just die quietly.”

With that, Camille turned on his heel and headed out of the throne room.

He knelt down on one knee in front of Otto, who was waiting for him outside.

“Knight Camille, at your command, I have successfully slain Siegmund, King of the Slaine Kingdom. Congratulations on your victory, Your Majesty.”

Camille bowed his head to Otto.

Toward his true lord, the one and only.

“You did it.”

Otto grinned at Camille.

“Great job.”

“Not really.”

“Why not? He must have been a tough opponent to beat.”

Siegmund was by no means an easy opponent.

In fact, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that without mastering the Lightspeed Sword, Camille wouldn’t have stood a chance.”

As a matter of reality, Camille’s physical condition was worse than that.

Though he wasn’t seriously injured, he was a mangled mess.

But the reward for winning a life-threatening duel was well worth it.

‘He’s definitely grown stronger.’

Otto was aware that Camille’s duel with Siegmund had earned him the status of a Hero.

An auspicious glow enveloped Camille.

The effect, visible only to Otto’s eyes, was proof of Camille’s awakening.

“Here.”

Otto held out the jelly to Camille.

“Eat this and recover.”

“…I’m fine.”

Camille rejected the jelly that Otto offered coldly.

Knowing all too well what the main ingredient of the jelly was, he didn’t feel like eating it without some sort of serious injury.

Even more so when he would have the opportunity to see the face of the producer of the main ingredient every now and then.

“Oh, stop. You got yourself hurt. Eat it.”

“I’m really fine.”

“It’s because I’m worried, I’m worried!”

“A normal potion is enough for this kind of injury.”

“But there will be lasting damage!”

“What knight doesn’t have some residual scars? It’s hardly worth healing this well.”

“Just eat it!!!”

“I don’t want it.”

*Bickering!*

Otto and Camille argued for a while over the issue of whether or not to eat the jelly.

“…..”

“…..”

“…..”

The magic swordsmen standing by were speechless and shook their heads.

Otto trying to feed him jelly made of poop.

As for Camille, he was struggling not to eat it.

From a third party’s point of view, it looks like the rice that goes with that side dish.¹

It was a rather touching and humiliating situation.

“Eat.”

Otto shoved the jelly in front of Camille’s nose.

“I don’t want it.”

“As your Lord, I command you. Knight Camille.”

“Yes, I am here.”

“Eat.”

“…..”

“I said it was an order.”

“…Yes.”

In the end, Camille couldn’t resist Otto’s coercion and was forced to stuff the jelly into his mouth.

“Huh? Is that the look of gratitude you have for the grace of your lord, huh? You look like you’ve eaten shit?”

“…..”

“Are you not going to fix that expression?”

Camille felt like he was going to go crazy with frustration.

‘Isn’t it natural to make a face like I’ve eaten shit when I actually have???’

Camille wanted to scream, but he couldn’t for one reason.

‘Ugh.’

He couldn’t get the words out because he was trying to hold the jelly in his mouth without chewing.

“Well then, chew it.”

“…..”

“What? If you don’t chew, I’m going to….”

*Gulp!*

Camille couldn’t bring himself to chew the jelly, so he just swallowed it down his throat.

The horrible texture and odor were too much for him to bear.

“Tsk.”

Otto pouted in disapproval when he saw that Camille had gulped down the jelly.

“You’re just swallowing it down again.”

“….”

“I gave it to you with the best of intentions, that precious thing.”

With that, Otto grumbled, then turned to Camille.

“Now go.”

“Where do you want me to go?”

“Isabel.”

“….!”

“Don’t you miss her?”

Otto asked, referring to Isabel, Camille’s former lover and now the queen of the Kingdom of Slaine.

“I’m….”

Camille shook her head.

“I don’t deserve to see her, nor do I have the confidence.”

“What?”

Otto frowned.

“What choice did you have then, my dear brother?”

“…..”

“It was out of your control, though.”

“That’s true.”

“If you understand, go and apologize. Tell her you’re really sorry for back then, that you seek her forgiveness now, and that you’re glad you can see her again, even if it’s late.”

Otto advised Camille.

“Whether you start over or not is a matter for later. For now, just apologize, even if it’s late.”

“Still… does it work?”

“Eh.”

Otto rolled his eyes.

“If you’re going to do that, get the hell out of here! Move!”

“…..”

“Don’t you have the courage for that? You have the courage to fight to the death but not with this?”

Camille considered Otto’s words for a moment, then nodded in understanding.

“Alright.”

Camille took a step forward.

“I’ll… meet her… then.”

“Okay.”

Otto waved his hand at Camille.

“Have a good time~”

“….”

“What does it matter if it’s late? As long as you two are happy now.”

Otto’s expression was full of conviction as he said that.

‘Eh. He’s going to be a married man, Tsk.’

Otto knew the future of Camille and Queen Isabelle all too well.

In his experience, there was a one hundred percent chance that Camille and Isabel would marry.

Even….

‘I can’t believe I’m going to be an uncle so soon. Ugh. I can’t believe I’m an uncle. I’ll have a nephew.’

A baby was also due to be born between Camille and Isabelle.

In other words, the conquest of the Slaine Kingdom was a turning point in Camille’s life.

This incident not only settled past grievances but also reunited old lovers, leading to a happiness that includes seeing a child who wouldn’t hurt to have in one’s eyes.

Of course, since the game and real life are different, there are no 100% guarantees.

But just in the unlikely event.

Camille dared not enter the room where Isabel was.

Hesitantly.

Unable to get his bearings, he paused at the door.

“……”

“……”

“……”

The knights guarding the door were silent, not knowing what to do.

They knew Camille.

Camille knew them.

They knew each other, so the atmosphere was very awkward.

There was no way a fight was going to break out anyway, given the tide of battle, but it might as well as have.

Then.

*Rattle!*

The door opened.

*Step!*

Camille stumbled back, startled.

*Thump!* *Thump!* *Thump!*

Camille’s heart pounded in his chest as if it would explode at any moment.

“How dare you step foot in here.”

The person who opened the door was none other than Isabel.

Similarly, in relationships or partnerships, some people naturally complement each other, just like the ideal combination of side dish and rice. So, this expression emphasizes the compatibility between two entities, whether it’s people, ideas, or situations.
