THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 265: TESTS
Myro does not go directly to the battlefield with Ren but he secretly goes to the medical tent, however Myro's life and death are still a secret so it should not be discovered the soldiers on duty.
When he reached the medical tent, Sorna who was busy working immediately saluted "Master!".
Myro waved his hand "No need to be too polite, is my father awake?".
"Your father just woke up a while ago, it seems he plans to talk to you. At first I thought of calling master, but since master has been here, I don't need to bother anymore" Sorna said pointing to a room.
Myro nodded, he walked towards the room Sorna pointed to with Ren and Yorou "Dad, how are you?".
On the bed, Myro's father lay down while his hands were tied by bandages.
Actually the blood in the command tent at that time was not Myro's blood but his father's blood.
"As you can see, I was shot with an arrow in my right hand! Not to mention that this was supposed to be a poison dart, Luca and his mother's family were ruthless, they planned to kill you using a deadly poison dart. Once an arrow hits you, you have no chance of life anymore" Myro's father said smiling "But I'm glad you weren't hit by that arrow but me! I'm old enough that you're a shining star in the sky! My son Myro, maybe I shouldn't say this because I tried to throw you away first, but when I'm not around, can you keep the Aras Family? We never planned to accept Luca's offer to betray".
Myro sat down next to his father before saying carefully "Dad, I'm sure you've known Luca's betrayal from the start, then why didn't you stop him?".
"I tried to give him advice to stop fighting yourself" Myro's father said, shaking his head "But he didn't listen to me".
"Dad, from the very beginning you advised Luca, you must know Luca will not give up and still plan to kill me. Therefore, you came to my command tent! It's not that you're worried that I can't lead an army, but you know Luca is planning to kill me so you come to protect me. Am I right?", asked Myro.
Myro's father smiled bitterly "You're really becoming more intelligent, you can know my father's mind very well. Myro, you may not understand, but as I grow old, I realize how important family is. If it were me now, I would definitely not send you away with the 4th prince! As a person grows old, they will realize that the power and wealth they seek are not too important compared to the family that always supports them. Maybe I've been naive and weak for too long, if I was in the past, I would have killed Luca without hesitation".
Myro and his father looked at each other for a while before Myro stood up "Dad, I can't keep the Aras Family alone like you said, not to mention you won't die right now".
"What did you say? I heard the killer that Luca sent was using poison-", Myro's father tried to explain how frightening the poison Luca used. As an undercover traitor to Luca, his son informs him of all the plans he has prepared.
Myro's father was shocked, his face became blank "You mean all the killing a few days ago and the poison on the arrow-".
"We gave him sleeping pills on the arrow so you fell asleep for a few days, not intoxication" said Ren who was behind Myro's "Dad master, this plan was not made by the master but I decided it. The master said his father did not betray, but as a follower of the master, I must always be careful for the worst possibility that made me decide on this plan. If you try to kill master, you will definitely not avoid punishment. If you don't come to the aid of the master, you don't fail or pass but remain a guard in the border town. When you protect the master, you are declared a pass and the master trusts you more in the future".
"So all these plans are what I made, you don't have to blame the master unless I was the wrong person! But if time were to be repeated, I would still do the same! As a loyal follower of master, I must be careful of anyone who poses a threat to master! The task of the strategist is to keep the master away from the worst end!".
Myro's father was silent for a while after which laughed loudly "Myro, you really have a great strategist! I'm not angry at your actions, instead, I thank you for caring about my son! With a strategist like you beside my son, I don't have to worry anymore! It seems like the time of the old generation like us has ended, now is the time for you young generation. Miss Ren, Mr Yorou, can I entrust the protection of my son to you?".
Yorou and Ren bowed without hesitation "No need for you to say though, we will always fight on the master's side".
Myro's father nodded, he looked at his son who had grown up quickly "Myro, be careful! Now that the Kingdom of Azeroth is getting chaotic, things are uncertain! For that reason, you have to determine your own path whether it's trying to support the 7th prince, or the 10th prince? Maybe even make your own kingdom! No matter what decision you make, I will try to convince the Aras Family to always support you".
"Thank you, dad!" said Myro.
They spoke for a while longer before Myro and Yorou and Ren left, this time they headed to the prison while nothing else became a place for the traitors to be held.
When I got there, Myro found Retya with some knights who were guarding him.
Retya saluted Myro "Master, we did everything as you said, thousands of traitors have been detained! Our feet, hands, eyes, mouth and ears were closed for a while, what should we do to these traitors?".
"Most of them will be punished in the Loth City court, what we need is only 5 people for them to make up for all the wrongs that have been done! I gave 5 lucky people the chance to get leniency!", Myro said telling his plan, after all Retya was a confidant of Myro.
"You mean sir?", asked Retya confusedly.
"Isn't it clear?", said Myro smiling confidently "Since the enemy uses our troops as traitors, then we will use traitors as enemy traitors as well!".
