The Return of the Destruction Level Death Knight Episode 89
Episode 89: Reunion (1)
“Well, Sir Damian! “What on earth is this?”
As soon as the meeting ended, Oliver Apple grabbed Damian and argued with him.
“Oh, oh, subjugating orcs! “There’s no way someone like me could do such a big thing!”
“Then why didn’t you just say you couldn’t do it right then and there?”
“Oh, how can you do that! “Everyone was looking at me with anticipation!”
Oliver Apple raised his voice in protest. But when Damian raised his hand, he was startled and took a step back.
“Still, wasn’t it quite interesting to see the changes in the attitudes of the officials?”
Oliver Apple fell silent at Damien’s words. It meant that he also sympathized.
“Wasn’t it nice to see His Majesty the King happy?”
Oliver Apple nodded silently.
Oliver Apple was a man who wanted recognition more than anyone else.
There was no way such a person would dislike the situation just now.
“There is nothing to be anxious about. You just have to do it. Then no one will be able to ignore Hae-jae again.”
“but… … .”
It was time for Oliver Apple to speak listlessly. The servant approached Damien and said.
“Sir Damian, His Majesty the King has requested a private meeting.”
“I will go now. “Well then, I’ll see you later.”
Damien headed to the king’s office, guided by a servant.
“Sir Damian, what happened all of a sudden?”
As expected, the reason the King summoned Damian seemed to be to ask him about the Oliver Apple incident.
“I know the crown prince well. “That kid definitely doesn’t have the personality to do something like this.”
The King was not reprimanding Damien. It was filled with pure questions and concerns.
It has to be that way. My son was entrusted with a very dangerous job.
“Your Highness, that idea is wrong.”
Damian spoke to the king.
“Your Majesty the Crown Prince has a very strong desire to be recognized. Besides, you respect your uncle, His Excellency Alexander.”
The King listened to Damian in silence.
“That is why you always had the desire to demonstrate your abilities for the kingdom like His Excellency Alexander.”
“So you volunteered to subdue the orcs?”
“That’s right.”
The king was lost in thought for a moment.
“… … It’s nice to see Oliver in action, both as a king and as a father. I want to help with anything. “But as you know, Oliver’s position as crown prince is precarious.”
Oliver Apple has been a bitch for a long time. The royal family tried to hide it, but it wasn’t perfect. His associates already knew.
“All I can provide is basic support. “If you do more than that, Oliver’s reputation will get worse.”
The king was right. There was a possibility that the king would be seen as favoring the incompetent crown prince.
“Oliver has to take too much risk for that. “If this subjugation fails, a terrible situation will occur.”
As Damian saw with his own eyes, Oliver’s position was so precarious that noble officials openly disparaged him.
In such a situation, what if you volunteer to subdue orcs and fail? Perhaps the position of crown prince might be in danger.
“Don’t worry. “I’m there, right?”
Damian said casually. The king felt great trust in that indifferent attitude.
“It’s reassuring to have Sir Damian. but… … I don’t understand. “Why are you acting like this for Oliver?”
Damian was lost in thought at the king’s question.
The reason Damien was helping the prince was for the sake of the family.
In the future, the King of the Apple Kingdom dies due to a rebellion, and Oliver Apple suddenly ascends to the throne.
The novice king could not properly take care of state affairs. The kingdom was greatly shaken, and the number of people who suffered increased. As a result, the Apple Kingdom collapsed very easily in the later war with Dorgo.
Damian came here to stop it.
The Apple Kingdom is none other than the home where the family lives.
But it wasn’t necessarily just a practical reason.
“I can’t just wait and see.”
Damian never thought he would become this attached to Oliver Apple. It was just annoying at first.
“I can’t stay silent when Sir Damian steps forward like this.”
The King opened a drawer and took out something. It was a small wooden box made of ebony.
When I opened the wooden box, the scent of pine needles spread everywhere. Inside was a blue bead wrapped in silk.
“It’s the inner altar that the City Serpent held.”
Naedan refers to a mass of magical energy generated within a monster’s body.
Some monsters used this inner circle to display various special abilities.
Sea Serpent was one of those monsters.
The Sea Serpent was a large monster that lived in the sea. Not only was it extremely large, but it also possessed the ability to manipulate water.
So, to the sailors, they were seen as servants sent by the sea devil.
“It’s a fascinating item.”
Naedan was not something that was easy to see. It was even more difficult to see the inner circle of a rare and powerful monster like the Sea Serpent.
The amount of magical power that Naedan possessed was as much as the notoriety of the Sea Serpent.
“If you finish this job safely… … No, even if I can’t finish it, I promise to give it to you.”
Damian’s chronic problem was a lack of magical power.
If it were the City Serpent’s inner circle, the problem could have been completely resolved.
It was an undeserved reward for taking on such a troublesome task.

“Just trust me.”
* * *
It was when Damian finished his errand and came out of the study.
“Sir Damian, did your meeting with His Highness end safely?”
Liam Bluegreen was waiting for Damian in front of the study.
“There is someone who wants to see you. “Can you give me a moment?”
A person who can use high-class people as errand boys.
Only one person came to Damian’s mind.
“Let’s take the lead.”
Damian moved along with Liam Bluegreen. He led Damian into the royal garden.
A small artificially created lake.
A small pavilion built on top of it.
Someone was sitting there.
“Sir Damian, it’s time to see you again.”
Emperor Alexander Apple said with a friendly smile.
“Sit down first.”
Alexander Apple suggested a seat across from him. Damien pulled out his chair and placed his butt on it.
“Your Excellency, what’s going on?”
“I felt bad that a promising young man was walking into danger, so I called him to give him some advice.”
Damian raised one corner of his mouth.
It seemed like he was planning on engaging in that useless nonsense just like he did at the castle gate.
“It seems that Sir Damian is still young and has little idea of the world.”
“I think I’m old enough.”
“Hahaha, does a friend like that take his nephew’s side?”
Alexander Apple laughed out loud.
“You don’t seem to know Sir Damian, but Oliver is in a very bad situation.”
Damian listened to Alexander Apple’s words with only one ear and ignored them.
“He’s my nephew… … That child cannot be called trustworthy even with empty words. “He doesn’t behave well.”
Without knowing that, Alexander Apple continued speaking.
“At first, everyone tried to change Oliver. Isn’t there a saying that there is no guardian under the auspicious mark? But the child didn’t change. “It was always the same.”
Damian didn’t really listen to what Alexander Apple said.
It wasn’t because I trusted Oliver Apple. It was because they thought that if they did not listen to their instructions, they would be beaten again.
“Everyone has completely given up now. It is no exaggeration to say that few people believe in that child. rather… … .”
“It seems that His Majesty Oliver is uncomfortable with the attention.”
Damian blurted out one word. Alexander Apple shook his head.
“You’re suddenly making strange noises. “Why do I feel uncomfortable about that?”
Damian let out a laugh. Alexander Apple probably thinks he hid it well, but Damian has already seen it.
The moment he said those words, Alexander Apple’s eyes trembled slightly.
“Thank you for your concern, but I think this is useless advice.”
Saying that, Damian stood up. Before he left the pavilion he looked at Liam Blue Green and he said:
“Sir Liam, I didn’t know you were on this side.”
Liam Bluegreen smiled slightly at Damian’s words.
“It’s a choice for the kingdom.”
“Then there is nothing we can do.”
Damian left the place.
As Damian disappeared, Alexander Apple held his teacup tightly. The teacup crumbled and turned into powder.
“You arrogant bastard.”
Alexander Apple gritted his teeth and muttered.

After that day, a notice was posted to recruit troops to subdue the orcs.
But no matter how much time passed, the applicant did not appear.
In the end, the same was true even though the letter was sent in the name of Oliver Apple.
The knight family refused to participate, citing various reasons.
“… … “I think it’s because of my reputation.”
Oliver Apple said with a despondent look on his face.
“The families close to the royal family know how miserable I am living. So it looks like we have no intention of sending troops.”
It was clear that every noble or knightly family connected to the royal family knew that the crown prince was an idiot.
If the knight families came out like this, there was nothing even Oliver Apple could do.
By borrowing the king’s command, troops could be forcibly mobilized. However, as the King said, receiving such support was actually disparaging Oliver Apple’s reputation.
“Uh, what should I do? If the subjugation ends like this without even starting… … .”
Oliver Apple’s face turned pale. It seemed like he was already afraid of other people’s ridicule.
“Well, there’s nothing we can do.”
“Well, I guess so… … “It can’t be helped.”
“I have no choice but to sell my name.”
“yes?”
Damian said casually.
“Put my name on the notice. “Damien Haxen is recruiting troops to subdue the orcs together.”
One more line was added to the notice.
And less than two days after Damian’s name was raised, a knight led his troops and participated.
“brother! “I’m here!”
Michael Ryanblum.
The eldest son of Marquess Ryan Bloom.
The future sword master has arrived.
