The strongest prince in the fairy tale world

Chapter 73 The Knight's Oath
Yize and his party finally arrived in Isa City, the people on the street rubbed shoulders, and it was still so lively.

They came to the hotel agreed with Raymond.

Before entering the door, Charlie shouted from downstairs:

"Master Raymond, Pinocchio, we are back!"

Pinocchio didn't come down until Charlie shouted the third time.

Pinocchio wearing a wooden mask ran over with a smile on his face when he saw Izzy and Charlie:
"His Royal Highness, Charlie! You are finally back, Master and I miss you so much!"

Pinocchio and Charlie hugged.

"Master, Lord Raymond is willing to accept you as an apprentice?" Charlie asked in surprise.

"Yes!"

"Why didn't Knight Raymond come down?" Ize asked curiously.

Pinocchio smiled and said to Ize:
"Your Highness Yi Ze, my master didn't know what happened today. He drank in the morning and is still awake. He used to go to the roof of the building every morning to see if you came back."

Izzy was a little puzzled. In his impression, Raymond didn't like to drink, and it was daytime, so things were a little abnormal.

"Take me to have a look." Izzy turned around and said to Charlie.

Pinocchio took Ize to the second floor, and Ize introduced Shirley by the way.

"Hello, Miss Shirley."

"Hello, Mr. Pinocchio."

The two greeted each other politely.

Izzy is also out of Snow White's safety considerations, the less people know her real name, the safer she will be.

It's not that I don't trust Raymond and Pinocchio, but people talk too much, and sometimes it's not intentional, and people will say it by mistake inadvertently.

So just keep it a secret from everyone.Izzy also told Charlie to keep his mouth shut.

Charlie has already opened the house and parked the carriage in the backyard, and now there are only three carriages of treasure left. Ize has cast protective magic on the carriages, and most people will be bounced away immediately if they touch them, so there is no need to worry about being stolen.

At Raymond's door, Izzy turned around and said to Shirley, "Let Charlie take you to the room for a rest first, and I'll call you during lunch."

"Okay." Shirley responded softly.

Pinocchio leads Izzy into Raymond's room.

At this moment, Raymond was leaning back on the sofa, his face was red and he smelled of alcohol.

"Why do you drink so much?" Ize asked.

"I don't know, it was fine before, but after receiving the letter from home yesterday." Pinocchio said truthfully.

Izzy frowned. Could it be that something happened at Raymond's house?

"Let him sleep for a while, and I'll ask him when I wake up."

Pinocchio nodded.

……

Raymond didn't wake up until the afternoon, long after Ize and the others finished their lunch.

As a knight, if he doesn't want to get drunk, it's easy to force the alcohol out of his body, but he doesn't want to be sober to face the next problem.

When it was time for dinner, when Raymond went downstairs, he found two familiar figures sitting in the dining room, Prince Izzy and Charlie. He stood on the stairs for a while.

"Your Highness, Lord Raymond has woken up!" Charlie saw him first.

Ize turned around and said with a smile: "Knight Raymond, long time no see, come down quickly, just in time to have dinner together."

Under the candlelight, Izzy's smile was sincere and kind. Before meeting Izzy, Raymond had never seen any prince or nobleman who would eat at the same table with his servants and civilians.

Only Prince Yize, he seemed to regard everyone as an equal individual in his heart, and never cared about the strict class etiquette of nobles when there were no outsiders.

He would not punish servants and slaves for a small mistake, otherwise Charlie, a servant who sometimes speaks without thinking, would have been beaten to death many times by other nobles.

However, it was also Izzy's informality that contributed to Charlie's innocent and straightforward temperament.

Raymond stared at Izzy for a long time, and he suddenly felt that he couldn't kill him no matter what.

Not only because he once swore to protect Yize's safety in the name of a knight, but also because he knew that Ize was the future hope of the Cabel Duchy.

If a despicable person like the eldest prince Frank is allowed to become the king, what will the Duchy of Cabel be like?
So even if he sacrificed his wife and children, Raymond would swear to the death to uphold the knight's oath and the hope of the Principality!

The handwriting on yesterday's letter disappeared shortly after Raymond opened it. Apparently, Frank had applied a potion that would burn after reading, and the only evidence had disappeared.

"Knight Raymond, what's wrong with you? Is there something on my face?" Seeing Raymond staring at him for a long time, Izzy joked.

Only then did Raymond regain his senses, "No, no, Your Highness, I was rude. I am really happy to see you back safely."

"Come and eat quickly, your eyesight has fully recovered, right? Pinocchio said that you like the grilled lamb chops from this store the most. I ordered a lot of them." Ize continued.

Raymond heard Ize's concerned words, and thought that in order to help him heal his eyes, Ize sold the dagger given to him by the river god and the best noble dress on his body in exchange for money to make up for the medicine.

He was still debating whether to kill him secretly, this kind of thought made him ashamed.

Raymond, a knight in his fifties, suddenly had sore eyes, turned his back and walked back to the room quickly, not wanting to lose his composure in front of the four young people.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, for some reason.

Izzy thought for a while, and said to Charlie, Pinocchio and Shirley:
"You guys eat first, just save a portion for Knight Raymond and me. Something must have happened to his family, I'll go up and see him now."

"Your Highness, let me go with you," Charlie said.

"No, I think Knight Raymond doesn't want so many people to go to his room."

Izzy came to Raymond's door alone, and he knocked on the door.

"Knight Raymond, are you okay?" Izzy asked warmly at the door.

Raymond sat on the edge of the bed covering his face, and when he heard Izzy's voice, he quickly wiped the corners of his eyes.

"Your Highness, please come in."

After Ize walked in, although Raymond tried his best to hide his good mood, Ize still sensed that the atmosphere was not right.

"Knight Raymond, I'll just say it straight. Pinocchio told me that you did this after you received a letter from home. Is it because something happened at home? I can write to my royal father and let He helped you out."

Izzo said straight to the point.

Raymond looked up at Ize, without any further hesitation, and told the whole story.

After hearing this, Ize clenched his fists tightly, his face as cold as frost.

"I never thought my elder brother would do such a thing. Knight Raymond, thank you for your loyalty to me. I will definitely do my best to protect your wife and son."

In Ize's impression, the eldest prince Frank has always been an image of an honest and honest big brother.

Although he was the first prince of his father, Robert, he was born of a concubine after all. According to aristocratic tradition, the eldest son of the king and queen is the first heir.

Of course, if Ize dies and there is no longer a legitimate son to be the king, the first in line successor will naturally be the eldest prince Frank.
