Jooyeon looked for a man.

“Tell me everything you know about Count Sanderson’s followers.”

“That…that…”

It was the double agent, the magician, Bayner.

A messenger who delivered information between the Duke and the Count. He had to know about Count Sanderson’s informants.

Bayner pressed his knees together and shut his eyes tightly.

“If I tell you that, Count Sanderson won’t leave me alone.”

“He won’t leave you alone because of the information you told me last time.”

“Th… That and this are different… This is really dangerous. Only I know…”

Juyeon’s body lowered slightly.

“If you don’t tell me, I won’t leave you alone?”

“……!?”

＜Marking＞ was still not released.

As long as there was ＜Suggestion＞, Bayner could not refuse Juyeon’s order.

Whatever the order may be.

“Don’t think I’ll just kill you. Don’t you know what’s more precious than life to a wizard?”

Bayner bristled as if he was annoyed.

“Are you threatening me with my family! Don’t be ridiculous…”

“The knowledge of the arcane you possess. What if I made you forget all of that?”

“That’s absurd…”

To a wizard, magic was more precious than life.

Using ＜Suggestion＞, it was possible to erase even the memory of learning that magic.

‘It’s a method I figured out through several experiments.’

The results of the experiment showed that it was possible.

Of course, more was possible.

“Or… how about making you someone who can’t use magic for the rest of your life?”

Bayner let out a hollow laugh.

“Don’t be ridiculous! No matter how much I’m under suggestion, something like that is impossible!”

“Then let me show you a taste.”

Snap!

Juyeon flicked his finger.

Then, a change came over the wizard Bayner’s body.

“H…My mana… my magic!”

The magical aura that had filled Bayner’s body disappeared.

It felt like he had become an ordinary human before he had learned magic.

No, in his current state, he wouldn’t be able to learn any magic.

It was only through ＜Suggestion＞ that his senses were temporarily blocked, but Juyeon’s warning was certain.

Wizards were beings who risked their lives for magic.

They were the kind of beings who didn’t hesitate to harm others for new magic.

To lose all of that precious magic.

It would feel like a punishment more cruel than death for a wizard.

Bayner had no choice but to eventually spill everything.

“I’ll tell you. I’ll tell you everything. So please… just my magic…”

The rest was easy.

Based on the information from Viner, it was over if the knights of the King of Knights moved.

Of course, Viner didn’t know everything.

‘Count Sanderson, he’s pretty meticulous.’

It was relatively easy to find a simple information broker. He wouldn’t have put so much effort into mere rats.

However.

“Count Sanderson didn’t just plant rats.”

“……!”

The knights who had caught the information brokers flinched at Joo-Yeon’s words.

“If not just rats, then surely not…….”

“There are bribed vassals.”

“!”

There were no clues about that.

But Joo-Yeon wasn’t worried.

‘It’s simple to deal with those who don’t show their tails.’

Just make them show their tails.

Fortunately, someone appeared who would do that.

“Count Sanderson……. The Count has arrived at the Duchy.”

The mastermind behind everything.

Joo-Yeon smiled, and the knights’ expressions hardened at the news of Count Sanderson’s arrival.

“That damn bastard is entering the Ducal family?”

“We must drive him out at once!”

“That’s right. Didn’t he aim for the First Prince? That bastard entering our territory……!”

Joo-Yeon spoke to those murderous expressions.

“This is why they call you knights thick-headed.”

The knights coughed awkwardly at the blunt insult.

Calling knights thick-headed……?

“Aren’t your words too harsh…….”

“Do you know the rumors currently circulating in the Ducal family?”

The knights furrowed their brows at Joo-Yeon’s question.

They couldn’t not know.

[Have you heard? The Duke of Edmer’s family was attacked by the Demon race.]

[What? Demon race? The Demon race attacked the King of Knights? Did he lose?]

[The damage to the Ducal family is severe.]

[Oh my, it seems that even the world’s King of Knights can’t win against time. I guess even the greatest knight on the continent is just a myth now.]

Ridiculous rumors were circulating about the world-famous Duke of Edmer’s family.

The knights groaned.

“Thanks to Lord Joo-Yeon, we were able to stop it, but the Duchy did suffer damage from the Demon race’s attack.”

“You don’t have to worry. Rumors about Lord Joo-Yeon are also spreading, and those ridiculous rumors will be corrected soon…….”

“No. Rather, it’s good.”

“Yes?”

There were always many who sought the honor of the Knight King.

As much as the title of the Knight King was hated by other kings, there were always those who coveted the position or the machinations of hostile families.

‘Now that the territory has been attacked by the demons, it’s a good opportunity for the hyenas.’

The political enemies of Duke Edmer were on the move, sensing the opportune moment.

It was not for nothing that Sanderson came to visit the dukedom at this time.

“That’s why we’re holding a banquet.”

The knights were bewildered.

“A banquet? At a time like this?”

Most were bewildered, but a few nodded as if it might be alright.

“Rather, let’s show them that we’re still standing.”

“However, they’re determined to cut us down. A mere banquet won’t be enough…”

Then Joo-yeon spoke as if he had been waiting.

“I heard that delegations are coming to meet me. I plan to use them.”

“……!”

Joo-yeon was now known as the hero.

The various powers of the continent would gather to see him.

‘Let’s use that to our advantage.’

That wasn’t all.

‘This way, we can draw out the treacherous vassals hiding within the family.’

The ones that Joo-yeon had not yet been able to uncover.

‘Fortunately, there’s some really good bait.’

[Count Sanderson]

‘I’ve already gotten rid of the informant who had become his ears.’

The treacherous ones in hiding won’t be able to move either.

Because they’ve already been tied up under the pretense of repairing and securing the dukedom.

Of course, there was one thing that was most necessary to do that.

‘I need competent subordinates.’

Loyal subordinates who won’t fall for Sanderson’s or the hyenas’ tricks.

‘Actually, ＜Obedience＞ subordinates would be the best, but there’s no way to get them in the first place.’

＜Obedience＞ was a power that could only be exerted because they were already serving someone in the first place. And how could one possibly bring those who were already loyal enough to be called ＜Obedience＞?

It was impossible in the first place.

But then it happened.

Someone held out a plate of food.

“Joo-yeon-nim, please have some. It’s very delicious.”

“!”

It was Hak-en.

The guy who had somehow become chubby was showing no sign of alertness whatsoever.

It was enough to make Joo-yeon speechless.

“It seems that being a servant suits you well.”

“Thanks to Joo-yeon-nim, everyone treats me well. hehehe.”

Just by looking at her expression, you could tell she was happy.

“Is it a beggar’s nature, or a thief’s?”

But surprisingly, the one who drew attention was Olson.

“Hand it over. That food hasn’t been inspected yet.”

“Oh come on, can’t you trust me, Sir Olson?”

“I trust no one. I just do my job.”

Haken immediately raised his hands at Olson’s pedantry.

“Yes, yes, I understand that you’re aiming for the lead role.”

He wasn’t stupid enough to not notice Olson’s attitude—that Olson wanted to follow Joo-in, not Aiden.

Joo-in also looked at Olson as if she were surprised.

There was a reason.

‘Wasn’t this guy definitely a Knight of Obedience?’

Knights of Obedience were extremely loyal.

Changing their master was almost impossible.

Not even once had anyone succeeded in doing so in the game.

‘Guys who are as loyal as Knights of Obedience are originally impossible to recruit.’

Not just Knights of Obedience.

There were guys who Joo-in wanted as a companion but eventually gave up on.

From the guy who had conquered a country with just his strength, to the strongest politician, the guy who became king with just one special talent, and the guy with the only precious bloodline in the world.

It didn’t matter how much she tried to catch them.

If she caught them with force, they would take their own lives to show their loyalty.

They would pretend to be loyal and then betray her right away.

‘Was it like they weren’t systemically allowed to?’

Many players had tried but gave up right away.

They had concluded that it was impossible to recruit [Obedient] knights.

‘But now, Olson is trying to change his lord….’

She had a feeling.

A feeling that the game she had played was completely different from reality.

‘Well, it’s only in games that loyalty remains at 100 percent.’

Here, she might be able to recruit them.

The guys who were good but she had given up on.

‘But in order to recruit guys like that, I can’t use simple methods….’

Then, the King of Knights approached Joo-in.

“I have something to tell you.”

“Isn’t there still a lot of time until the banquet?”

“It’s more important than that.”

Thanks to Joo-in, he had been able to take care of Count Sanderson’s informants.

The preparations for the banquet would be taken care of by his subordinates.

The King of Knights had come to find the best thing he could do.

“It’s training for the remaining succession.”

＜Succession＞ wasn’t over yet.

It meant that he would personally train me for a perfect succession.

That’s why Joo-yeon was surprised.

The man called the King of Knights was going to train me personally.

‘If the 100 knights knew this, there would be chaos.’

It was a dream come true for any knight.

However.

“Go to Bicher. It’s a good place to hide.”

“Why should I hide?”

“My son’s vassals are wary of you.”

“……!”

Not to mention the vassals who had followed the Lord, those who had been bribed by Count Sanderson were still hiding.

What would happen if the King of Knights trained Joo-yeon personally?

“Just the fact that you’ve succeeded me is enough to make some people jealous of you. But if I train you too….”

“They’ll want to kill me?”

“I won’t let that happen. But some cunning bastards like Count Sanderson won’t miss the opportunity. They could definitely provoke those guys and make them target you.”

It wasn’t impossible.

In fact, among the knights who had never seen him fight, there were rumors that Joo-yeon was an airhead.

It was possible to provoke the knights with rumors.

‘I’ve been through that in the past game.’

But Joo-yeon smiled instead.

“Where is the training ground where everyone can see?”

“What?”

“Why? They say I’m an airhead? Then shouldn’t I shut their mouths?”

Joo-yeon thought it was a good thing.

Because what he would receive from the King of Knights wasn’t just the succession.

‘There are a lot of ＜Obedience＞ knights in the King of Knights’ castle.’

They could even deal with the annoying hyenas.

And he just came up with a way to win them over.

As proof of that, Joo-yeon, who was looking at the King of Knights, smiled for some reason.
