"Von Byron, we have warned you to watch your own safety."

"Your existence is insignificant, but it is my God who has brought you to where you are today."

"Keep yourself safe and don't die so easily. You have to remember that being born again comes at a price......"

It was pitch black in front of me, and my brain was chaotic like a mess. Except for the voice of the self-proclaimed messenger of the gods, there were only some familiar but faint calls.

This went on for a long time, and his body remained in pain all the time, and as he regained consciousness, the pain grew more and more intense, tormenting him in this dark world.

He didn't know how long it took for him to hear the voices clearly, and a few figures swayed back and forth in his mind, stimulating him to recall the names of those people.

"Fatis ...... Alleyne ...... James ......"

Sometimes, he gets a response.

After repeating this behavior countless times, he finally regained his senses. He used all his strength to open his eyes, and finally saw the long-lost sunshine.

"Heavenly Father, you are finally awake!"

James, who was preparing the medicine on the side, was surprised to see Byron wake up, put down the medicine in his hand and came to the bed.

Byron felt so weak that even blinking seemed painful and tiring. It took him a few minutes to recognize himself in his room on the manor, with James and his full arsenal of medicines.

"How long have I been like this?"

Byron asked weakly.

"It's been half a month, Mr. Byron. It's a miracle that you recovered, the dose of arsenic given by those gangsters was more than three times the lethal amount. ”

James drew a cross on his chest and replied reverently.

"Fatis ...... Alleyne ......"

Byron wanted to ask about the other heroes, but even with all his might, he could only name a few names.

Fortunately, James guessed what he meant.

"They went back to the fiefdom, and they stayed here for five days, and then there was army activity on the side of Agorlonburg, and they went back to defend the fiefdom."

"It's okay..."

Byron blinked and sighed. He closed his eyes again and fell asleep.

He also seems to hear Johnny's voice before he falls back asleep.

By the time Byron was able to get out of bed on his own, it was already a week later. In the time since he passed out and woke up, James and Johnny stayed by his side. Johnny laid the floor here, and James, the doctor, moved all the clothes in the laboratory to Byron's room, taking care of Byron while making potions.

And Byron also wakes up to learn how dutiful Johnny was during the time he fainted. Although Byron fainted after being poisoned and collapsed, he vomited non-stop, vomiting everything in his stomach, and the bottom was also a mess. During the time he passed out, Johnny fed him porridge and helped him with his excrement like a dutiful son who took care of his father, and even Alleyne praised him for his loyalty.

Byron had saved his life and supported him, and the young man had always been grateful for his kindness.

When Byron heard what James had to say, he was so moved that he summoned Johnny from his sickbed, made him a knight, gave him his sword, and appointed him his personal guard.

After that, the heroes who followed Byron also came to visit him. Interestingly, Kress explicitly told Byron that if he didn't survive, she would go back to the north with Desail to help her get revenge, and although Rolf kept saying congratulations, many people told Byron that this guy had been wooing the sergeants in the Peony mercenary group when he passed out, trying to take the strongest mercenary force in Calradia for his own use.

Of course, there is also Alleyn who is loyal to Byron, but when Byron is poisoned, the good knight has already begun to help Byron prepare for the future. If Byron dies, then he will immediately take his place, take over Byron's old ministry and fiefdom, and avenge Byron after becoming a lord.

Fatis also told Byron privately that he knew what Alleyne was thinking, but that he didn't want to turn against his friend. If Byron is really gone, then he is likely to help Ellen defeat Rolf, who also intends to stand on his own, and then give up his fiefdom and return to Suno with the knightly honor that Byron gave him, and use the power of his family to find out the murderer behind Byron.

In the days when he passed out, not counting external reasons, there was almost a fight within the team, which gave Byron a wake-up call, and even if this situation was left unchecked, even if he became king one day, it would be the second Harlaus.

At the banquet where he collapsed from poisoning, Fatis and Alleyne detained all the guests, kept them at the manor for two days, and ruled them out one by one. Eventually, when James was treating Byron, they found clues by interrogating the servants in the manor, and it took a lot of effort to find the guy who had infiltrated the manor as a groom. The guy first entered the manor disguised as a groom of a Rhodoc nobleman, and then spent some time seducing a frivolous cook by secretly putting arsenic in the best bottle of wine when he went to the kitchen for a tryst with the cook on the day of the feast. He wasn't really sure which bottle Byron would drink, but as soon as an important guest or a hero next to Byron drank it, his mission was complete.

This kid has a good face, and Kress has worked it. It is not known what method Kress used, except that the poisoned guy had been wailing all day, and even the horses in the manor were a little commotional. In the end, this guy who lost half his life summoned all the information he knew like a bamboo tube. He was photographed and cultivated by an adult a long time ago, and this is the third time he has committed a crime, but the first two times were not big shots, so he was not caught.

He didn't know who the adult was, because different people had always given him the task.

By the time Kenrad and the mercenaries found the messenger, the guy was dead in the wilderness, looking like he had been killed by robbers.

By this time, Byron's health had recovered a lot, and after this catastrophe, he also discovered the hidden ugliness of aristocracy. Thinking of Count Craggs's previous warnings and Lisso's actions after the crime, he probably guessed the identity of the man.

Kenrad's mission was terminated, and Byron ordered that no one should pursue the matter.

Even with his current strength, he didn't dare to let the truth surface right now. Because once the matter is revealed, the other party tears his face and is ruthless, Byron will usher in a catastrophe, and the strength of the other party is not comparable to him now.

After all, the man was the titular ruler of all of Svadia.
