A King is Born on the Road

Chapter 62

Iris was excited, but continued calmly.

“We are going to the Hall family.”

“Yes. That, too, would be a move that had nothing to do with my son.”

Iris nodded.

“May I ask how the relationship with the Hall family will change in the future?”

At Iris’s question, Eggers thought for a moment.

As the maid said, it was a matter of children’s fraternity. Maybe he didn’t even know that he had been thinking that Ruben wasn’t the one who killed his second son.

Iris said Ruben had paid enough for his crime.

In Eggers’s eyes, she was a clever person. For the sentence given by a judge, she did not seem like someone to arbitrarily say enough was enough.

Therefore, if Ruben really covered up the person who killed his brother, the reason would be because he was worried about the relationship with the real culprit’s family, although there would also be love.

As Eggers suffered before sorrow and reason, Iris continued.

“Don’t you know? The situation in Luwan is unstable, and it is not strange that a war breaks out. No one in the royal family is paying attention to the situation, and the Sieres continue to enter the land of Luwan through the port of Everhart.”

At Iris’s words, Eggers took out a new cigarette and lit it. And he was silent until he burned it all.

Everhart had already judged that the odds of Siere going to war were more than half.

In preparation for the war against Siere, Iris was correct in saying that they should not be hostile to the Hall family.

“Do you smoke?”

“No.”

“That’s a shame. You’ll have a lot of sit-ins among smokers in the future…”

Eggers said, and took one of his cigarette boxes out of another drawer.

On the wooden box, there was a nice carving engraved on it. He handed it to Iris.

“It’s a gift. It’s good to learn.”

“Thank you.”

“Someday you will find it to be of use.”

If one day she’s going to be king. Iris will convince countless men. Eggers was saying it would be good to get used to alcohol and cigarettes for that time.

Eggers said.

“Then go.”

“Yes, my lord.”

“I will see you next time.”

Iris nodded and left with the cigarette box.

The maid who testified also followed her.

The maid said.

“Are you going to the Hall family with Master Ruben?”

“Yes. Let’s go there. It’s a nice place. Although they serve too much food.”

“I can’t eat that much… I’ll have to try.”

So the two women walked down the hallway and talked.

Iris returned to the entrance to the underground prison. And said to Hayer, who was waiting.

“He refused, but he said it wouldn’t have anything to do with me if he escaped.”

“I see.”

Hayer nodded, knowing that it meant permission, because he was used to the Asheris who spoke in such a roundabout way.

“Then shall we go and get Ruben out of prison?”

Hayer’s idea of Ruben’s escape was very, very simple.

It was to beat all the prisoners confined in the prison until they lost consciousness and get him out in return.

* * *

The guard, who was informed by Eggers, secretly lent Hayer the key.

“I’m going to eat for a while.”

“Thank you.”

Hayer, who took the key, moved into the dungeon. Then he entered the cell and beat all the witnesses and prisoners until they fainted.

Although Hayer was rather large, the prisoners trapped here were also formidable.

However, Hayer beat a bandit leader over two metres tall without much effort. The prisoners watched the fight, knowing the future that was about to befall them.

Hayer, who knocked everyone out like that, finally opened the door to where Ruben Everhart was. Then, after removing his shackles, he lifted him up with one arm.

Ruben Everhart had goosebumps all over his body at the screams he heard from afar.

Hayer Asheri was a monster.

“L-Lord Hayer, I can walk on my own…”

“That won’t happen.”

“Yes… The Lord is right.”

The legs that had been tied for seven years did not move easily. Even though he thought he had been diligently walking around the narrow cell every day, his leg muscles seemed to have frozen.

After a while, Ruben escaped from the dungeon. It was the first time in seven years. The sunset of the outside world, brighter than when all the torches were lit, was beautiful.

Ruben smiled when he spotted the maid in the carriage first.

“Everyone escapes together.”

“Come quickly and sit down. You should go see Lady Sandra!”

“Lady. She’s the head.”

“Yes, we’re going to see Lord Sandra.”

Tears welled up in the eyes of the two people who said that.

Soon a carriage with four people departed for the Hall family.

Hayer handed Ruben the clothes he had bought at Everhart when they rested from the carriage for a while.

Hayer, who came out briefly while Ruben was changing his clothes in the tent, spotted a huge wagon passing by. And he was happy to find Iris.

“Iris, the moving circus is heading towards the Hall family.”

“Really?”

Caught in a complicated situation, the two couldn’t see the circus. Fortunately, the route was the same, so the two arrived at the Hall family and made an appointment to see the circus. And shortly thereafter, the Hall family’s mansion came into view.

* * *

Sandra Hall saw the wagon of the moving circus running in the distance.

Now, the busiest time in farming was slowly coming. That’s why Sandra was looking for ways to energize the farmers.

One of them was the mobile circus.

As expected, farmers rushed out cheering as the circus tent unfolded. It was when Sandra returned to the mansion, satisfied with the farmers’ reaction.

She spotted a carriage speeding up from afar. She was still receiving reports that the carriage with Iris and Hayer was on the way.

Sandra went out to greet the carriage, vowing that today, with Iris, she would work on a masterpiece until one of them collapsed.

Hayer got out of the carriage first and escorted Iris.

Iris greeted Sandra warmly first.

“Nice to see you again, Lord Sandra.”

“Why don’t you come often?”

Iris, who stopped by relatively recently to come often, took it as a joke and smiled.

Sandra liked Iris. Regardless of her support for the next kingship, it was just nice to see her. In addition, the reservoir incident also helped the Hall’s territory, so she had no choice but to be pleased.

Sandra continued.

“The mobile circus is here. If you have time, let’s go see it together.”

Then Hayer, who was standing one step away, said.

“Well. Why don’t you go see it with someone else?”

“Why, do you want to go see it together?”

Sandra asked, tilting her head.

“No, I think the head would want to go see it with someone else.”

Iris answered with a faint smile.

“Who am I to see the circus with?”

While Sandra was wondering, another man got out of the carriage.

Sandra, who was wondering if there were any more guests to come, froze on the spot when she saw the face of the man who got off the carriage.

“Sandra.”
