Overgeared

After the battle between Grid and the clone was over, former Red Knight Singuled talked to the Murray King. "Thank you for your help in the meantime. I won’t forget the grace that Your Majesty has shown me until the day I die.”

“...”

The young king was sorry that Singuled was leaving now. Singuled was a guest of more than 10 years; someone the king didn’t want to leave. He wanted Singuled to stay in the kingdom to fight for him and his people.

“Yes.

“Take care.”

The Murray king didn’t speak his thoughts. He recalled the day when he first met Singuled, who was injured at the time, and tried to smile as gently as possible. As the king of a small nation, he knew he wasn’t qualified to keep Singuled forever.

“...”

Singuled’s heart warmed as he looked at the king. He was abandoned by the nation that he devoted his life to. He suffered damage to his mind and body and wandered the continent until the Murray king rescued him. The king was a virtuous man. Once he learned that Singuled was one of the Red Knights that had persecuted the Murray Kingdom, the king didn’t blame him and claimed that, “it was in the past.”

Singuled vividly remembered a conversation he had with the king,

"Your Majesty, I will leave once my wounds recover.”

“Why?”

“The fact that I am staying here will be known to the empire and you and your people will suffer.”

“There isn’t anything to be discovered. All we have to do is keep our mouths shut.”

"The empire has bribed nobles from nations all over with their tremendous power and vast resources in the past. The empire will surely find me in the Murray Kingdom...”

“No. My subordinates don’t cling to money and power. We are united in trust.”

“...”

Singuled thought this person was a young king who wasn’t familiar with the cruel world. How could hundreds of nobles, each with different ideals and ambitions, come together in trust? Singuled thought that the empire would soon discover his location, and thought it would be better to leave before the Murray Kingdom was damaged. However, 11 years passed, and the empire was still unable to discover his location. Surprisingly, no one came forward with information on Singuled.
