Chapter 38 – King Ashterzen 2

“Now, let me cut to the chase. Thank you for accepting our request to capture the serial killer.”

The King bowed again. His tone seems a little off.

“I called you up, amongst others, to talk about the serial killer. I spoke to the Living National Treasures and we couldn’t come to an agreement.”

“Agreement, you say…?”

“About the punishment for the serial killer. As soon as the mass murderer is caught, our country is considering publicly executing them and publicly displaying their head.”

As Fendel-san said, public executions and displaying heads.

But as far as I can tell, King Ashterzen doesn’t seem like the kind of person who would decide that.

“There are some things that must not be committed in our country, Britain, which values the wisdom of people.”

His expression was stern and fearless, a complete change from his mild-mannered appearance.

“Violating people. Violating wisdom. Our country is saved by people and wisdom. No matter how much our country changes in the future, one thing will remain the same, and betraying people and wisdom will not be tolerated.”

There was a pause, and King Ashterzen continued,

“Now our country is in the throes of a terrible disaster. And even more than that, the people are in a rage. Their anger is so deep that even death cannot redeem it.”

The serial killer has killed thirteen men between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five. It is indiscriminate and the victims are not related.

This is inhumane and certainly cannot be tolerated.

“I dare to say what we are trying to do is not a good deed. But sometimes you have to be on the wrong side to judge wrongdoing.”

It’s an incident that angers not only the victim but also those unrelated to the incident.

“Arnell-kun, I need you to convince these girls. I’m told that it was your choice not to agree on the punishment.”

The reason why everyone didn’t agree with it was partly because of the skill, but I think it was also because they thought I might reject it.

King Ashterzen is also aware that public executions and displaying heads are on the wrong side. If he is still thinking about carrying it out, he must be quite prepared.

“The serial killer is irredeemable. Can you please convince the girls?”

But I had one question.

Is there really no way to save the serial killer?

“With all due respect, King Ashterzen. I have one thing to say.”

I went on to explain how I accepted this murder spree quest.

That I have the infatuation skill. That there is a low probability that the serial killer may have the same skill. That there may be a possibility that this is related to the murders.

That I might be able to stop it.

King Ashterzen listened to my every word with compassion, sometimes nodding his head. As he finished listening, he paused for a while.
