A Knight Who Eternally Regresses

Chapter 346

The Queen of Naurillia had no children.

In other words, she had no heir.

So, who should be the next ruler?

Why hadn’t the Queen produced an heir?

This situation naturally led to various contenders vying for the throne.

Of course, the biggest reason was that the Queen’s central authority was weak.

As a result, individuals like Count Molsen declared themselves rulers of frontier regions.

Others within the capital sought to become the Queen’s consort.

Some even arrived from foreign nations, offering their princes as potential successors.

Countless figures aimed for the throne.

Crang was one of them.

Kraiss hadn’t seen all of the contenders vying for the throne, but even comparing Crang to Count Molsen was enough.

Right now, Crang was the most threatening candidate for the usurpation of the throne.

Based on that alone, Kraiss had a realization.

‘His ambition is different.’

Enkrid felt the same.

Even when compared to Count Molsen, the difference was clear.

It was purely instinct, but Count Molsen’s sole desire was to sit on the throne.

His goal ended there.

But Crang was different.

A royal bastard didn’t merely fixate on the throne—he looked beyond it.

‘He sees the nation’s fundamental problems.’

Count Molsen likely had plans for after he seized control of the country.

However, the difference was where the weight of their priorities lay.

Did the throne come first, or did the responsibilities that followed take precedence?

What was the purpose of his ambition?

Where did his goals lie?

Between the sunlight filtering through, vines clung to the right-side barracks wall. Green moss and ivy growing between the cracks exuded a sense of life.

It was a day in the peak of spring, with temperatures gradually rising.

Still, it wasn’t warm enough to break a sweat while walking.

Amidst the tranquil sunlight, a man who had captivated everyone’s attention let out a quiet chuckle.

“That’s why I hated it.”

His final words bordered on irony.

“Is that so?”

“What about you? Have you never felt the same? Have you never been sick of the road you walk? Have you never questioned whether you truly had to go down this path?”
