Ch. 196 - Ray Returns III
After meeting with James, Schnee, and Syr at the border post. Ray begins to arrange plans to return to Silver City. Because if it was in accordance with his estimation, then the Silver Moon Kingdom's capital must be in chaos due to the competition between the royal family and the noble family.
Ray returned to use the carriage after being within a short distance of Silver City. He made sure his return was not known by either the royal side or the nobles. Anyway Ray also understand about the truth ‘no soundproof wall’. So he did not tell the time of his return to Silver City, not even replying to the Dark Note.
On the way, James could not help but ask Ray. “Mr Ray, is what you said at the border post true? Is Uncle Steve hurt by another conspiracy of nobles?”
“That's right, however Steve Evans is still a pillar for the royal family. Even though he was too straightforward and easy to trap, but he was still a powerful fighting force for the kingdom. Dropping it was also a necessary thing to smooth the plans of the nobility.” Ray nodded and explained the problem.
“Mr Ray did you know this was going to happen long ago?” James asked with a grim face. He did not know what to behave about this incident, in front of him was the one who trained him to be what he was now but the other was the one who saved his life.
“I know, you must have a lot of thoughts about this. Maybe you blame me for not warning Steve Evans, right?” Ray smiled slightly and asked casually.
“No... No, that's what I mean?” James hurriedly replied, fearing that Ray had misunderstood him.
“No need to explain it to me. I know what's in your heart.” Ray answered with a smile.
“But, James? Have you ever thought about it? If your uncle is not injured, then the nobility will be more vigilant and have more preparation, so the war will turn out to be bigger than it will be soon.” Said Ray calmly.
“At that time, how many lives will be lost? If his small wound could swap the safety of more innocent people interested in this chaotic vortex, wouldn't it be worth it?” Mumpling Ray.
James who heard Ray's words fell silent for a moment. At the same time, Schnee and Syr who heard Ray's words showed light in their eyes. At first they were also confused as to why Ray let someone on the same side of him hurt, but after hearing Ray's words they finally understood. It uses small wounds to change many lives.
“Mr Ray, do you mean to let them see us as a weaker side so that they also use less power?” Ask James.
“Arrange?” James thought about Ray's words in confusion.
“According to you? How powerful is the kingdom? How strong was the foundation they had made for tens of thousands of years? Is this kind of thing comparable to a group of people who can only suck blood in the Silver Moon Kingdom?” Ray said with a face of reproach and contempt.
In Ray's memory, there was nothing good about these nobles. More precisely almost all the nobles in the Silver Moon Kingdom had impurities in their families. But not at the same level as the House of Gremory and its cronies, because they even dare to engage in human trafficking freely.
The previous owner of the body also had a playmate who disappeared suddenly. After nearly three years of disappearing, he finally found her as a slave of a Gremory Family who managed to escape to the slums while dying. From this friend of his, he found out about this truth.
The worse thing was that the royal party could not crack down on them either because too many nobles were involved. If the day of the butcher knife was dropped on them, then the situation of the Silver Moon Kingdom would become chaotic due to the lack of officials who could lead an area.
Now Ray finally has a chance to drop a butcher knife on them also becomes a payback for the previous owner of the body, in addition to satisfying his conscience.
“James, Schnee, Syr. Remember what I said today. This world is a place of competition, no matter where you are there will definitely be competition and hostility. You can cut and kill your opponents mercilessly, but you still have to have an excuse to keep your conscience clean. Otherwise, what difference do we have with murderers and robbers?” Ray's words echoed in the carriage.
James, Schnee and Syr listen to Ray and begin to think deeply about him.
At the same time the carriage they were riding on had already entered Silver City, the capital of the Silver Moon Kingdom.
"It's time, this great drama to start..." Ray murmured in his heart.
