Ghost Horse

The two began to walk towards their classroom.

“Is it Encallero who gave it to you?” Sean asked.

“That’s right.” Flora nodded.

“Your Highness, don’t say this is not worth mentioning.

He brought it up suddenly just now, and I almost couldn’t respond… Please tell me the truth.”

“There’s nothing to say, you should already be clear, right… The necromancers of the Slayke Kingdom are not all so evil and have no conscience.

Some of them told me about the situation earlier, and we were able to avoid being deceived by those pretending to be alive, so we didn’t kill them.”

Sean said matter-of-factly, “As for the vampires of the Gonzalez family, the situation is similar.

In fact, there is already a very mature and legal channel for providing food for vampires within the country, but Count Gonzalez himself is a lecherous person, and he likes to suck the blood of women…

When others came to him, he would erase their consciousness and turn them into blood slaves…”

At the end, perhaps remembering certain scenes, Sean was rather angry.

Flora didn’t say anything, silently waiting for Sean to calm down. Entering the classroom, she said:

“Your Highness is truly kind and compassionate.”

“Where did you get that conclusion?”

Sean was suddenly a little uncomfortable.

Flora had also discovered recently that Sean was very bad at being praised by others, but he wasn’t afraid of being cursed or despised by others…

Of course, this also had something to do with his life of not being praised.

“From any perspective, only this conclusion can be drawn, so Flora now tries her best to praise Sean… in every sense to make up for Sean.”

“Anything else you want to ask?”

Sean really couldn’t help it; he turned the topic back.

“Did Your Highness specially pass some laws and put forward suggestions for these people?”

Flora also took it and stopped.

“Yes, but it’s not all for them. There are many dangerous professions similar to necromancers, and the demi-humans living in the Empire are not just vampires… I think all they seek is to be able to live.

As long as they are well managed, they may not be able to contribute to the Empire.”

Sean has always liked to consider his enemies as his allies.

This, in fact, is something she knew, but… it was always bad.

Even many times, stabbing him in the back.

On the contrary, those who were enemies from the beginning were easier to understand.

He could utilize them, and he could also encounter some enemies of his enemies, or enemies who wanted to defect for certain benefits… These people were more reliable than allies.

“That’s good… Your Highness, can you provide me with the information on the contributions they’ve made and what they’ve done after joining our country?”

“Are you going to use it to persuade that Seidisti?”

Sean couldn’t help but laugh and immediately understood Flora’s plan, “Would he believe the evidence we provide?”

“Generally, he won’t believe it, but as long as our evidence is sufficient, reasonable, and with proven facts, he has to believe it.”

“That Seidisti guy… is he such a rigid person?” Sean hesitated.

“From the current performance, he is probably that kind of person, but to be rigorous, we still need to wait for the results of the investigation before making a judgment.”

“…”

Sean couldn’t help but frown.

If it was really as Flora said, this Seidisti indeed wouldn’t come to cause him any trouble.

It was a pity that the rumors he had heard before said that the other party shouldn’t be such a person at all.

As Sean knew clearly,

Seidisti, from a young age, had a dream of being a knight.

It wasn’t a knight, nor did it refer to reaching the level of a knight, nor was it being a weak soldier,

To be precise, his goal was to become a heroic figure with the virtues of a knight.

Humility, honor, sacrifice, valor, compassion, honesty, justice, piety.

He had always demanded himself with these eight principles.

Therefore, when the flood crisis arrived, he could act without hesitation to rescue.

And after that, he became a Holy Song Knight, and joined the Glorious Church.

However, his nightmare began.

Or rather, since he was a child, he was well protected by his family and could only satisfy his various vanities through beautiful fantasies.

How could there be such a fool?

In the rescue work, he saw many people of wealth, or officials.

There were even many of them who made a fortune from the disaster, selling the disaster relief supplies transported from various places to the people in the disaster area at a high price.

He scolded these officials, but what he encountered was ridicule and disdain.

He always wanted to do something, but he was quickly defeated by a large number of weak people.

His family was also trying to pull him back, telling him not to be stupid and reckless.

But… was it he who was being stupid and reckless?

That’s not right,

The knowledge and principles he had mastered since childhood were clearly not like this,

But everyone only thought he was a fool.

Even if he told this to His Majesty,

The latter, after a mocking laugh, still made him hone his mind—implying that he was also naive and too childish.

He was unconvinced.

But then, one blow after another, he had to admit.

Once, when he was out, he encountered a village being attacked by bandits. He chased the bandits all the way to their stronghold and slaughtered the bandits.

However, he was scolded by the bandits’ families in the village.

That’s all, the enemy also had families, he had understood this long ago.

But what he didn’t understand was that these bandits were exploited too harshly by the surrounding lords.

The ordinary people couldn’t bear it and ran to the mountains to become bandits.

And those who commanded the bandits’ leaders were a group of people who couldn’t stand the actions of the lords and abandoned their knightly attendants or even their knightly identities.

Thanks to them, the bandits could survive the encirclement and suppression by the lords.

And when he eliminated this group of bandits, the area was completely peaceful.

No one dared to resist.

No more people dared to make a sound.

Therefore, whether he left or later passed there again, the lords were all very welcome to his arrival.

Just like looking at a fortune.

And those people, looking at his eyes, had neither anger.

Nor was there any fear.

It was just numbness that they took for granted.

Because in their eyes, Justice and those lords were no different.

In addition, Justice had also obtained praise from many officials.

But the lords would lock the other party in prison, and as soon as he left,

They would immediately release him.

When he went to the areas where the plague broke out to provide rescue, he saw that those with money and power were saved first, and those without money and power waited to die.

He couldn’t do anything.

Even his resistance was so ridiculous.

What’s more, with the operation of his family and the Knights,

These deeds of his were made into heroic deeds and spread throughout the country,

He wasn’t worthy at all.

However, the group of nobles who knew the inside story were even more satisfied with this behavior and sincerely praised him as a true hero.

But the colleagues who knew the inside story and the people with discernment among the lower classes all looked at him with indifference, as if they had already become accustomed to this.

What made Justice the most uncomfortable was that those ordinary people who were kept in the dark still had expectations and trust for this hypocritical knight.

But the truth was so cruel.

He couldn’t do anything.

He couldn’t help with anything.

Instead, he was always used as a gun by those in power and those with ulterior motives.

He was such a fool.

Looking back, he was already far away from his initial goal.

He was not worthy of being a “knight” at all.

The best proof was that his guardian spirit looked like a horse.

Still covered in mud, lifeless, and incredibly gloomy… like the ghostly horse ridden by the headless knight in the legend.

Since the guardian spirit was the embodiment of one’s will and spirit.

So his guardian spirit had neither a head nor was a knight.

It was just an ugly horse.

But just when he realized the reality and gradually accepted the reality, he suddenly learned one thing—

It turned out that there were still people in this world whose guardian spirit was in the form of a knight.
