NOVEL NEXT Chapter 24-2
After entrusting Wazir to Camille, Otto chased after the remaining two arrows.
‘I wonder what will come out this time?’
Seeing the appearance of the SSS-grade hero Wazir, Otto felt a subtle sense of anticipation.
‘I don’t even expect SSS-grade. Just give me an A-grade.’
The second arrow he chased after led him to a man standing in front of an inn with a golden exclamation mark above his head.
“Huh?”
Otto recognized the man at a glance.
One-armed.
One-legged.
And one-eyed.
The hero, who lacked his left eye, right leg, and left arm, was only one person.
‘SS-grade hero, the legendary instructor Spooner?!’
He was a former soldier who served in the Arad Empire and was the best instructor who trained outstanding war heroes.
He was a rare talent on the entire continent for his ability to train soldiers.
Now, he was a wanderer without a home or family, but was being falsely accused.
‘What’s going on today!’
Otto immediately ran up to Spooner and spoke to him.
“Excuse me, are you Sergeant Spooner?”
“Y-Yes, that’s me.”
Spooner looked surprised when a young man recognized him.
“I’m Otto de Scuderia. Insignificant, but… I’m the king of the Lota Kingdom.”
“Is this even a kingdom?”
“Haha… well, yes… it became that way. Hahaha….”
Otto scratched the back of his head awkwardly and spoke.
“If you don’t mind, could we talk for a moment?”
“If you say so…”
“Are you hungry? Let me buy you a drink.”
“Y-Yes, please.”
Spooner, who had been starving for a long time, readily accepted Otto’s offer.
He had initially been suspicious of Otto, wondering if he was really a king or just crazy, but now was not the time to differentiate between good and bad rice.
“I greet His Majesty the King.”
“I greet His Majesty the King.”
“I greet His Majesty the King.”
As Otto led Spooner into the restaurant on the first floor of the inn, the people kneeled and paid their respects.
“Are you really a king?”
“Yes, more or less.”
Otto replied with a smile when Spooner asked in surprise.
“Would you like a drink first? Bring us a beer…no, bring us a barrel. And some bread and meat too.”
“Yes, Your Majesty. I will bring them immediately.”
As Otto provided Spooner, who was starving, with cold beer and warm bread and meat, he made him an offer.
“If you don’t have anywhere to go…, would you be willing to stay here and train my soldiers?”
“But I’m a dishonored soldier…”
“I trust Sergeant Spooner.”
“How can you trust me?”
“You served as a soldier in the Arad Empire for your entire life, participating in countless wars and losing your eyes, arms, and legs in the process. Even after losing your legs, you continued to serve the country as an instructor. Would such a person embezzle operational funds and sexually assault a female officer?”
“That’s…”
“It’s a false accusation. I think it’s just some rotten people trying to defame Sergeant Spooner. I believe Sergeant Spooner’s past proves his innocence. Could you please stay by my side and educate my soldiers?”
“Y-Your Majesty…”
Tears began to well up in Spooner’s eyes at Otto’s warm consideration and comfort, releasing all of his pent-up emotions.
