Chapter 691: Abducting the King and Princess
Chapter 691: Abducting the King and Princess
"Night City, we can't kill him yet. Dameim is currently the Regent Minister of the Olyana Kingdom."
Furthermore, this is the capital of the Midgar Kingdom, and the Father Emperor is currently unconscious. If Dameim dies here, it will cause diplomatic issues between the two countries."
If the situation is severe, it might even lead to a direct war between the two nations!"
As Night City watched Dameim struggle in his grasp, he originally intended to strangle the man and put an end to the problem.
However, Roze, having straightened her torn clothes, quickly spoke up to stop him.
Out of helplessness, Night City could only casually toss Dameim into the wall like garbage, then, holding Roze with one hand and lifting the Olyana King like a puppet with the other, he chose to break through the encirclement!
The Olyana King was invited to attend the 'God of War Festival', and as Roze had mentioned, if the king encountered trouble in Midgar, it would become a diplomatic issue between the two countries.
For this reason, the Olyana King and his entourage's residence was under the strict protection of the Midgar Kingdom's soldiers.
The commotion Night City caused was too loud, so very soon, the strongest kingdom's knight order, the Crimson Knight Order, rushed over upon hearing the noise.
However, when the members of the Crimson Knight Order saw Night City breaking through the encirclement, holding Roze in one arm and the Olyana King in the other, they were stunned.
Upon hearing that the Olyana King was attacked, the Crimson Knight Order initially thought the assailants were ruffians from the 'Shadow Courtyard' who disrupted the peace of the capital.
But to their surprise, the person holding the Olyana King and Princess hostage turned out to be Night City Omega!
Night City, as he is now, is the most popular figure in the capital, favored by Princess Alice and even sought after by many nobles and lords as a potential Dragon Consort, with a promising future ahead of him!
They had considered various possibilities, but never once did they imagine that the person holding the Olyana King and Princess hostage would be Night City, the young knight with a bright future.
"Night City, have you gone mad? Quickly release King Dameim and Princess Roze; there's still room for negotiation.
Given Princess Alice's high regard for you, she will certainly speak on your behalf before the King."
The vice-captain and other members of the Crimson Knight Order, facing Night City, couldn't help but try to persuade him.
However, seeing the crowd gradually surrounding him, Night City didn't offer any explanations. Instead, he kicked off the ground with one foot and leaped onto the rooftop with incredible speed.
Before leaving, he said to the approaching knights, "I can't explain anything to you right now, but I can only say that what I'm doing is absolutely right."
Even with two people in tow, Night City could easily escape if he wanted to, and no one in the capital could stop him.
That afternoon, the entire capital was shaken by this incident.
The King of Midgar was furious about the matter. As Dameim, the Regent Minister of Olyana, had just come to his door.
Furthermore, Dameim stated that if Midgar didn't hand over the assailant, Olyana would declare war on Midgar!
The King of Midgar had a timid personality and often yielded to others. Faced with Dameim's challenge, he could only vent his anger towards his daughter, Princess Alice.
Not only was she blamed for her poor judgment in recruiting people, but she was also ordered to bring Night City back to the Olyana Kingdom and give them an explanation within the shortest time possible.
After leaving the royal palace, Aelkxia also came to the Knight Order and found her sister. The first thing she said was, "Sister, Night City would never betray the Midgar Kingdom! And he has a good relationship with Senior Roz. There must be a reason for his actions."
"Pa——————!"
As Aelkxia finished speaking, Alice slammed her hand on the table and stood up, then spoke with a reluctant expression, "Of course, I trust my own judgment, and I know that Night City wouldn't betray us.
But what does that matter? You know how Father Emperor is.
And what Night City did this time was indeed too much. Doesn't he realize that his rash actions could cause diplomatic issues between Midgar and Olyana?"
"The only way now is to find him as soon as possible; otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable."
On the other side, Night City, who had abducted the King of Olyana and Roz, took the two to the sewers under the Capital City.
The reason he didn't take them to the Shiyue Merchant Guild was that Night City didn't want to expose his connection with the Shadow Courtyard yet.
Looking at Roz, whose clothes were torn and revealing, Night City took off his outer garment and handed it to her.
However, Roz didn't seem to mind her exposed skin at the moment; instead, she looked at the King of Olyana, who was staring blankly with a dazed expression and drooling, and asked worriedly, "What happened to Father Emperor? What did Dameim do to him?"
Night City squatted down, first examining the king's eyes, then using his magic to explore the king's physical condition.
"It's a neurotoxin, and judging from his condition, he's been poisoned for quite some time," Night City replied.
Hearing this, Roz anxiously asked, "Then, Night City, do you have a way to save my father?"
Due to her anxiety, Roz didn't even notice that she was directly hugging Night City's arm with the few remaining clothes she had on, which was quite inappropriate.
"It's difficult, but not entirely impossible. However, I still lack many medicinal ingredients to support the treatment, and right now, I'm probably being hunted down by the entire Capital City..."
"I'll go! Tell me what ingredients you need, and I'll get them!"
Night City was about to say that he could take care of the ingredients under the cover of night, but Roz spoke up first.
Roz felt guilty for putting Night City in this situation.
If Night City hadn't been there at that time, she couldn't imagine what fate she would be facing now.
If it were in the past, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold on, but now she had Night City as her pillar of support, which made her feel incredibly relieved.
As long as Father Emperor could regain consciousness, Night City's innocence would eventually be proven, and after this incident, her father would surely approve of their marriage.
