Overgeared

'This is the king right now.’

Earl Bruno stopped as he entered the living room. The center of the living room. He stiffened as he found Grid leaning against the railings.

‘Indeed, there’s no sense of dignity.’

Eark Bruno’s ideal king wasn’t a capable person. It was a person who was always dignified, even if he was incompetent. He believed that was a true king.

‘No matter how capable, how can I look up to a man who looks like a peasant?’

Earl Bruno was certain that the commoner Grid would show his humble birth forever.

‘A king should be born from a noble lineage...’

“Are you Earl Bruno?”

Grid’s question interrupted Earl Bruno’s thoughts. Grid kept leaning against the stairs and Earl Bruno’s heart thumped.

‘This look in his eyes...’

Did he send a fierce gaze because he guessed Earl Bruno was the head of the Anti Grid Alliance? Earl Bruno couldn’t tell. Grid was a terrible human. A chill went down Earl Bruno’s spine.

‘The intelligence that allowed him to plan to conquer the throne before the golem invasion of Reinhardt a few years ago, the power to stand alone against 100,000 troops, his public speaking ability, the boldness that doesn’t shrink back in front of the 15 representatives...’

In fact, many nicknames weren’t needed. A few words were sufficient to describe Grid. A hero who destroyed a great demon. Yes, Grid was far beyond the human category of a legend. Earl Bruno acknowledge Grid’s capabilities. But as mentioned earlier, the virtue for a king that Earl Bruno valued was elegance, not power. It was because the king was a symbolic being. He needed to rule the kingdom and the people in it.

‘Grid shouldn’t be a king. His role should be a minister, not a king.’

As a noble, Earl Bruno would never be able to serve such a king! Bruno clenched his fists before speaking politely to Grid. Why was he polite? It was because he didn’t want to drop his standards. He didn’t have to behave like a commoner and have his own dignity fall.

"I’m ashamed to receive Your Majesty in such a shabby mansion.”

“How is it shabby? This place is comparable to a palace.”

'He’s comparing it to a palace...?’

Earl Bruno got goosebumps. Grid was smiling and talking. He was showing favorability on the surface, but sharp thorns was hidden underneath.

‘...Amazing. Grid really does know everything. He already received information that my mansion holds thousands of troops. He compared my residence to a palace because there’s no situation where thousands of soldiers would be gathered in a common residence.’

Grid really did know that Earl Bruno was head of the Anti Grid Alliance.

‘How did he find out my identity, when even Duke Steim didn’t know despite me being beside him?’

Wasn’t this intelligence network beyond the emperor of the empire? What should he do?

“Kukuk...”

Laughter emerged. Earl Bruno laughed and asked Grid.

“Can I ask how you knew?”

It was a question that asked if his identity was noticed because he made a mistake. But Grid thought about it differently.
