002-The beginning of the plot 2
Along the way Jake realizes that the group of soldiers accompanying them is smaller than usual needed to exterminate the bad guys much less to rescue a princess. Paying even closer attention Jake also noticed that these are not the usual soldiers who normally accompany him. At this he turned to Peter and asked.
"Why do we have such a low number of soldiers for this mission and where are the soldiers that normally accompany me?"
"There was a sighting of a group of centaurs in a nearby village so I dispatched the usual soldiers and a few more to see if we can capture them"
Faced with this answer Jake realized why having such a low number of soldiers and not being the usual ones.
After all, some types of monsters could be captured. Once captured, monsters can be used for many things. Centaurs can be used for transport and fighting. Due to their strength and speed they are great for pulling carriages. As for fighting, they are excellent archers and can make attacks, breaking the enemy's front lines. The only problem with this is that it is difficult to get enough to fight and make them fight for humans, due to which only the royal family in the Eyozosha kingdom has an army of centaurs at their disposal. There have been some nobles who tried to have just one and ended up selling them to the royal family or wealthy merchants.
If they manage to capture the centaurs it would be great for the Aldcrest manor, not that the manor was in need of money, but it's always nice to have some extra income.
After knowing the reason Jake continues to lead the troops to rescue his fiancée.
When he arrived at his destination Jake was surprised to find the royal army and the soldiers who usually accompany him from prison or dead. Faced with such a scenario, Jake asked the commander of the royal army what was going on.
"What's going on here? Why are my men dead? And more importantly, where is the princess?"
"Arrest this man he just claimed that the men who tried to kidnap the princess are under his command. It was the last test we needed."
At the command of the royal army commander, the soldiers began to move to arrest Jake.
"Wait, what's going on here I'm Jake Aldcrest lord of the Aldcrest manor and duke of the Eyozosha kingdom"
Faced with this sentence by Jake, the soldiers stopped and looked at their commander. The commander, when he saw this situation, smiled broadly and said with a smug expression.
"What's going on here is that the lord duke tried to kidnap the second princess"
"And why would i do that?"
"Don't be naive, we already have proof that he is a vampire and intends to transform the princess into one so that she will obey him as her familiar and then force her to transform the royal family so that she can rule the entire kingdom legitimately. After killing the crown prince. Might as well give up, his plan has already been discovered"
"I don't know where they got that theory, but just proving that I'm not a vampire will prove my innocence, am I correct?"
"Yes, you are"
"Okay then I will accompany you. Peter takes care of the Aldcrest manor until I return."
"No need to worry brother"
"First of all, tell me where the princess is"
"The princess is in the royal palace, along with the royal family, or do you think we would bring her in as bait?"
Faced with this answer Jake breathes a sigh of relief that the princess is safe, but at the same time he gets upset after all he is not a vampire, his most loyal men are dead and from the conversation he had with this commander whatever he does he will be in trouble .
After that the soldiers move again to arrest Jake.
Jake was transported to the royal capital, where he would be tried he did not resist his capture or tried to flee despite power, it would not be this band of soldiers or the commander who would stop him after all he was a master class swordsman of the first tier.
The fighting classes were from the smallest to the biggest, beginner » master » specialist. Each divided into nine levels.
When Jake arrived in the capital, he was immediately introduced to the king and the high court where he would be tried for his crimes. The crimes were being a vampire, trying to kidnap the second princess, trying to turn the royal family into vampires to be their puppets, and trying to usurp the throne by killing the crown prince. The crimes would be judged in that order, for that is how they happened or would happen if the royal family had not succeeded in putting an end to Jake's plot to seize the throne.
