Chapter 88 (part 2) - The visit in the royal castle

"Now then..."

Horeo breathed out and he donned a mask of a refreshing smile on his face, readying himself to exit the carriage, reaching for the door...

"A person known as Zoemi is immediately required to be taken to the royal castle's dungeon when he will await his sentence!"

...the carriage's door was opened by some overly eager light magician donning a full set of enchanted armor, glowing with the bright golden light of the active enchantment.

*SLAM*

*WHAM*

...whoever the mage was, he either didn't know or didn't care about who else was in the carriage – which earned him a backhanded slap from the brightly smiling first prince – a backhanded slap that crushed the mage's helmet and sent him flying and crashing into the ground a couple of dozen of feet away from the carriage itself.

"L-lord Osteriov?!"

As it turned's out, the rude fool wasn't alone and his companion in the same type of armor, also with light enchantments active, called out after him in shock.
