WHAT DID YOU SAY? YOUR HIGHNESS, THAT'S--! ON ONE CONDITION. THE DUKE MUST PROVE HE IS NOT ACTING AS THE EMPIRE'S PROXY. THE EMPIRE'S PROXY...? WHAT A REMARKABLY FANCIFUL ACCUSATION. AFTER DEVOTING MY ENTIRE LIFE TO PHARNAS, HOW DARE SHE...? TAKE BACK THAT SLANDER AT ONCE. I'M NOT MAKING BASELESS ACCUSATIONS. THE TIMING IS SIMPLY... UNFORTUNATE. YOU MIGHT BE FAMILIAR WITH THE FORTMEIER STRAIT, WHICH LIES WITHIN THE DUKE'S DOMAIN. DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S BEEN PASSING THROUGH IT RECENTLY? LYCAN SLAVES, OF COURSE. RECENTLY, LARGE NUMBERS OF LYCAN SLAVES CONSCRIPTED BY THE EMPIRE... ...HAVE BEEN FLOWING INTO DAUPHINE. YOU MEAN THE COUNTRY CURRENTLY AT WAR WITH ANTEVASILLA? AS YOU KNOW, DAUPHINE'S MILITARY IS WEAK. YET THEY WERE THE ONES WHO PROVOKED ANTEVASILLA FIRST. DOESN'T THAT STRIKE YOU AS STRANGE? ARE YOU SAYING... ...THAT THE EMPIRE IS BEHIND THE WAR? EXACTLY. HOW ABSURD... WHAT UTTER NONSENSE! FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS, PRINCESS ARSINOE HAS BEEN AIDING LYCAN REFUGEES IN PHOMNOS. MANY OF THEM FLED FROM EITHER THE EMPIRE OR DAUPHINE. THERE IS AMPLE EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT HER CLAIM. PHOMNOS IS THE CITY OF THE LAPI, IS IT NOT? I REQUEST CONFIRMATION FROM THE LAPI, UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE COMMANDER. UNDERSTOOD. THE DUKE AMASSED IMMENSE WEALTH THROUGH MARITIME AGREEMENTS WITH THE EMPIRE... ...AND HAS NEVER HIDDEN HIS PRO-IMPERIAL LEANINGS. IF YOU WERE TO ASCEND THE THRONE, RUMORS WOULD INEVITABLY SPREAD THAT YOU ARE THE EMPIRE'S PUPPET. AND WITH THAT, THE DIGNITY OF THE ROYAL HOUSE WOULD BE DRAGGED THROUGH THE MUD. BASELESS RAMBLINGS. IF THAT'S OF CONCERN, I CAN SIMPLY ANNUL THE AGREEMENT WITH THE EMPIRE! CAN YOU REALLY SEVER TIES WITH THE EMPIRE BECAUSE OF MERE SUSPICION? AT PRESENT, THE EMPIRE HAS COMMITTED NO OVERT WRONGDOING. SO... WHAT IS YOUR POINT HERE? UNTIL THE SITUATION STABILIZES, I WOULD LIKE DUKE KIEL TO SERVE AS MY SUPPORTER. UNTIL THEN, I WILL HOLD THE THRONE. HAH. YOU INTEND TO BECOME QUEEN YOURSELF? THERE'S ONE MORE THING I'D LIKE TO ADD. I KNOW THE CURE TO THE ILLNESS THAT KILLED THE KING'S CHILDREN. YOU'RE SAYING THAT DISEASE CAN BE CURED? YES. I'M SURE MY KNOWLEDGE WILL BE OF HELP TO YOUR DAUGHTER. SO, WHAT DO YOU SAY? THROW A FIT, GODEL KIEL. WILL YOU STAND BEHIND ME? I DARE YOU TO GET ANGRY AND CHALLENGE MY AUTHORITY. YOU EXPECT ME... ...TO SUPPORT YOU? YOUR CLAIMS ARE BUILT PRIMARILY ON SPECULATION! AND NOW YOU SAY YOU CAN CURE THIS ILLNESS?! NOT EVEN SCHOLARS HAVE DISCOVERED A CURE! ARE YOU NOT JUST SPEWING DESPERATE LIES TO SEIZE THE THRONE?! GOT HIM. I'VE CLEARLY STATED THAT I KNOW THE CURE. HOWEVER, I WILL SHARE IT ONLY WITH THOSE WHO SUPPORT ME. THAT'S PREPOSTEROUS! ARE YOU THREATENING US? THREATENING YOU? HAVE YOU ALL FORGOTTEN WHO I CAME HERE WITH? COMMANDER, WHO WAS MY FATHER? IT WAS HIS LATE MAJESTY, KING VISIMONTHEUS YENAK NEOPHARNAS II. I ASK THIS BELIEVING YOUR ANSWER REFLECTS THE WILL OF THE ROYAL ARMY. DO YOU RECOGNIZE ME AS YOUR RULER? DAWN SHALL LIGHT YOUR MAJESTY'S PATH. HE MUST'VE REALIZED AS SOON AS HE LOST HIS TEMPER... ...THAT HIS LOGIC AND REASON HAD FAILED HIM. I'LL GIVE YOU ONE DAY. THOSE WHO STAND AGAINST MY LEGION SHALL LEAVE THIS LAND. YOU HAVE UNTIL THIS TIME TOMORROW. I HOPE TO SEE YOU THEN. Episode 7 IF YOU LEND ME YOUR QUARTERS, COMMANDER, WHERE WILL YOU STAY? DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME. THIS IS IT. I'LL BE BACK BEFORE SUNSET. STEP WAIT, SIR WALTER. NO, NEVER MIND. I'LL SEE YOU LATER. PLEASE GET SOME REST. AH, FINALLY. HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN SINCE I LAST TOOK A BATH? I CAN'T READ HIM AT ALL. I EXPECTED A SCOLDING FOR ACTING WITHOUT CONSULTING HIM, BUT HE DIDN'T ASK A SINGLE QUESTION. IN MY PAST THREE LIVES, HIS NICKNAME WAS ALWAYS β€œTHE ROYAL HOUND OF PHARNAS.” A DOG THAT FAITHFULLY OBEYS ITS MASTER'S COMMANDS... ONE WHO FOLLOWS EVEN THE MOST ABSURD ORDERS WITHOUT HESITATION. I CAN'T TELL WHETHER IT'S A GOOD THING OR A BAD ONE. COMMANDER!!! HM? HUH? ## See also - [WebtoonLib β€” Dawn of Vengeance #7](/series/dawn-of-vengeance-b4u1jnn6/chapter-7-tkxkny) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/dawn-of-vengeance-b4u1jnn6 ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
