Chapter 752 Punishment?
Chapter 752 Punishment?
The wyverns naturally came with us since that was just how it went now that my knights had become wyvern knights.
The royal guards on the other hand...
When we landed, there wasn't a single one of them that didn't throw up from traveling by wyvern.
The ones that had been chosen to become wyvern riders by the fourth prince were his elite guards, which were different from these royal guards who worked for the king. The royal guards were some of the most powerful knights in the kingdom, but the fourth prince had listened to me and chosen his own guards to become wyvern riders.
Though in the future, when I took the throne, I felt that it would be necessary for the royal guards to get their own wyverns. After all, they would be the most powerful knights of the kingdom and they would be under my control, so I could trust them with the wyverns.
Until then, they wouldn't get any wyverns.
Though it wasn't bad for them to get experience riding wyverns right now.
As soon as we arrived in the capital, we were led to the castle.
There were royal guards who had been waiting at all four gates for our arrival, so they immediately surrounded us and brought us to the castle.
Though before heading to the castle, they looked at their companions who were throwing up with looks of sympathy.
They could see just how much their companions had been through on this trip, so they felt sorry for them.
Since we were being escorted into the castle by these royal guards, we naturally drew a lot of attention.
There were many whispers that came from around us, but the one theory that they had that stood out the most was...
"Is that a criminal?"
Why would they immediately default to thinking I was a criminal?
Just because I was being escorted by all of these royal guards, did that automatically mean that I was a dangerous criminal?
Hmm, maybe that did make me seem like a criminal a bit, but I resent that stereotype!
When we arrived at the castle, there was a part of me that was worried about being punished because of the commotion that I had made. At the same time, I could see the way that the nobles that I passed looked at me.
The expression on their faces made it clear that they expected something to happen when I met the king later.
It was as if they were expecting me to be punished for what had happened.
Then it seemed like the king really was angry about what happened?
For now, I kept calm as I didn't want to get in my own head, but the atmosphere of the entire castle seemed like I would be punished.
When I arrived at the king's study, I found that he was just sitting there at the desk waiting for us with a stern look on his face.
The fourth prince went over to the side of the king while Angela stood beside me.
Once I was standing there in front of his desk, the king slowly said, "Well, do you want to explain yourself?"
A bitter smile appeared on my face since this was the worst way that he could have started this. After all, he didn't state what I should be explaining for, so I had no idea what he wanted me to say.
Basically, he was using this method to see what else I could have done during my absence.
I just calmly said, "I took a detour."
The fourth prince looked at me with a trace of admiration in his eyes.
However, the king just slapped his palm down on the table and said, "Do you think that's funny?"
I looked right at the king with a calm look in my eyes, not showing any signs of being shaken by his actions.
The king kept staring at me for a bit before suddenly giving a sigh and asking, "At the very least, did you manage to fix that problem?"
After saying that, he looked down at my crotch just like the fourth prince had done before.
A bitter smile appeared on my face when I saw him do this before turning to look at Angela.
She turned her head away with an awkward look when she saw this and she didn't say anything to explain herself.
I did send her to the capital to explain what had happened, but she didn't need to give such a detailed explanation, right?
It wasn't as if the whole world needed to know about my infertility issues!
Shaking my head with the same bitter smile, I said, "I don't know."
The king raised a brow before asking, "You don't know? What does that mean?"
I said with a sigh, "It's not as if this is something that could be known unless it's tested first and I didn't have time to test it before I was brought here."
The king and the fourth prince both revealed awkward looks when they heard this.
I just continued by saying, "For now, my body has changed a bit, so it feels like there's been some change with me."
"Changes?" The king asked in a doubtful voice.
This time, the fourth prince spoke up by saying, "I've seen it myself, he's much stronger than before. I'm certain that something must have changed about his body during this time."
The king looked at me with one raised brow as if he was still doubtful of this.
But there really wasn't anything that I could say in response to this and I wasn't able to give a live demonstration of this, so I changed the topic by asking…
"Am I going to be punished?"
