chapter 74
“Hey, I’m the only one who does all the hard work for this madman.”
While a social party was taking place at the Count’s Castle, a figure in a hoodie cut someone off.
Perhaps the man was accustomed to this kind of situation, and when he wielded the greatsword, he just silently cut it through without any hesitation.
A back alley where no light enters, where there is light, there is also darkness.
Although the Count of Espera was famous for being wealthy, slums were bound to exist.
Business failure, those who lost their arms and legs and withdrew from mercenaries, those who were born in slums.
They looked at the man with fearful eyes, but that was all.
“Chi.. I wanted to enjoy the party myself..”
A little girl carrying a cane the size of her own and assisting a man from behind.
Cynthia also pouted her lips, as if agreeing with the man’s opinion, and looked at the Count with jealous eyes.
“Rommel motherf*cker.”
After taking off his sweat-soaked hood, the man was finally able to breathe.
Hans, the owner of the double chin, who is unforgettable if anyone sees it once, lamented and put the great sword behind his back.
Rommel’s words from a few days ago.
The advice that the Kingdom of Spesha would send something to Espera unconditionally, and that you should investigate the slums in the back alleys and defeat the kings of the kingdom of Spesia.
At first, Hans did not trust Rommel very much, but he was grabbed by the lead teacher Cynthia and dragged to the back alley.
I could sense the strange movement taking place in the back alley.
They intend to advance to the center of the empire using the Espera estate as a bridgehead.
After collecting enough money in the slums, he forged his identity and advanced to the center of the empire, and was instructed to devour them from within.
It was Rommel’s order that the impure elements should be dealt with beforehand, and Hans and Cynthia had come to deal with them themselves.
At the same time, in the Count Castle, when the party was crazy, the eyes of the soldiers would all be on the Count, so if the gaze on the slums eased, Rommel’s prediction that they would definitely move too was brilliantly met.
Hans slashed an additional impure element who was running with the sword in his hand.
The gigantic great sword, which has now become his symbol, was enough to cut through people with ease.
No, to be more precise, the expression “crushed” would be more appropriate.
The great sword wielded by the tall giant will look like the sword of a giant in the eyes of ordinary people.
“For the Kingdom of Spesha!”
In addition, an impure element rushing from behind.
“Ice Lance.”
A monster attacks from Hans’ blind spot, but Cynthia, who was behind Hans, immediately begins to chant magic.
A magician’s magic that twists the world and manifests in the world an ability that shouldn’t exist.
The magical energy immediately climbed up Cynthia’s magic stem, creating a blue spear with cold air in the air, and the spear pierced the assailant’s stomach with great ease.
pooh.
“Cuckoo..!”
“The high-level manpower is pampering this body like this, Rommel is just too great!”
Cynthia inflates her cheeks casually and complains about Rommel, even though she has just killed someone.
“It can’t be helped, it’s our fault for riding the wrong line.”
“Heh! I’ll tell Anderse everything! He looks like a bad guy!”
While the conversation between Cynthia and Hans continues, the powerful people in the back alley gradually begin to gather next to the two of them.
To be precise, they fell for the sweet temptation of the Kingdom of Spesha and betrayed the Empire.
Those who turned their backs on the country after being tricked by Prime Minister Levante to give him the status of Count Espera if successful.
“I must have made a lot of noise.”
“Didn’t I tell you to do it slowly and quietly!”
“I never learned about cancer or assassination.”
As Hans said, Rosé only taught Hans how to handle the sword.
He didn’t tell me anything about memorization or assassination.
It was an unavoidable procedure as it was learned from Rosé, who had the mindset of knights who competed fairly and skillfully with power, like a knight’s family.
“I’m glad you all came out, though, if you ran away, it would have been just as difficult.”
“Heh, you’re very good at talking! In the end, it’s the same thing.”
“I think it’s better to take what you need and bring it and go.”
Hans and Cynthia the witch, who hold the sword and aim at the enemies with enthusiasm while continuing the conversation, and the witch Cynthia, begin to unveil the world of magical results with a silent spear.
“Mage…? Wizards! Get in line, everyone!”
“Careful! A monster with a bayonet isn’t normal either!”
The two were steadily removing the power of the Spesha Kingdom in the back alley just as Rommel said.
*************
The atmosphere of the banquet hall began to change gradually, and the eyes of the nobles, who were only glamorous and noticing, were all
He turned towards the corner where Rosé and Goose were, and Goose noticed the gazes towards him.
“That’s it, Grif Gus. I won’t allow you to go any closer to Prince Rommel.”
“…what the hell is that bastard…”
“Not that bastard.”
Even though their gazes gathered, Rosé did not return the pulled sword back to her waist.
Be faithful to the heart of the knight, and be loyal to the doctrine of the knight.
To protect a capable vassal who struggles and strives to help the lord who serves him
Rosé was standing in front of Goose as a knight Rosé, not as Edinburgh Rosé.
As she gazed proudly at Goose’s angered eyes, Rosé drew out her sword like a painting and slowly began to hold the tip of her sword towards Goose’s neck.
“I am a loyal vassal of my master.”
” ..why. “
Goose, whose head was filled with confusion at Rosé’s words, did not understand this situation now.
The heart of the selfish person who wanted to reach the sky, which he could not reach no matter how much he stretched out his hand, was slowly and surely breaking.
His little brother, who had always been below him, was already sitting in the sky above him.
Without any help from the back of the family or anyone, the troubles of the family, who had no talent in sword or magic, were being protected by the maiden of the Edinburgh family, who was an idol.
He didn’t want to admit it, Goose couldn’t stand the smirk of his younger brother who laid the floor under him.
It wasn’t a feeling of inferiority, it was embarrassment and anger.
It was also a basic human instinct.
maybe it’s jealousy
“Aren’t you the bastard of the Griff family?”
“Oh my gosh…! Where the hell are you, the Count…! Even for the Griff family, the behavior is serious.”
“You dare to touch the Count’s people without fear, the Griff family is over.”
Pity, compassion, ridicule, ridicule.
All emotions began to pierce Goose’s skin and prick his heart.
Goose instinctively twisted his body to step back, and Rosé just looked down at Goose with a cold and emotionless expression.
“Are you going to continue?”
” ..shit. “
“I am giving you one last chance.”
As Rosé’s last warning, a cold dagger pierced his chest and began to grip Goose, Goose began to fall like a shivering tree.
Whatever the prestige of the Griff family, right now, I had to get out of this banquet hall to make a promise for the future.
Gus decided to turn his body for a moment to avoid his gaze, and the moment he turned to run to the door of the banquet hall.
“What a fuss is this!”
When Count Espera appeared, who had finished talking with the princess, many southern nobles hesitated to retreat to avoid the Count’s wrath.
Goose, who was born to me by fully receiving the Count’s anger, had no choice but to shed a cold sweat.
“Hey.”
As the Count descended, Rommel deliberately spit out the red wine that had been left in his mouth and looked at the Count.
The Count also noticed Rommel’s intentions, nodded his head, and raised his voice toward Gus with a look of anger.
“Dare you! To make a fuss at the party that I reformed! Besides, you lose people? You never thought about the Gryph family until now…! The rumors that the Gryff family raised a son on or off are true! How arrogant! “
“..that, not that..”
“What do you mean!”
The Count pointed his finger at the red wine Rommel had spit out, and began to speak again.
“If your eyes are knotted holes, look! He’s already a weak Rommel, isn’t he spitting blood because of your violence?!”
“?”
At the Count’s words, Gus looked at Rommel with a questioning expression on his face.
Obviously now he didn’t touch Gus, if it had been before, there was no objection.
What kind of madman wields violence at a gathering of nobles?
“To use even violence…the prestige of the Griff family has fallen to the ground.”
“Tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttts
“I was pitiful and looked at you, but you are climbing without knowing the subject.”
A self-made play in which everything was made.
Everyone gathered here knows that it was wine, not blood, that Rommel shed.
However, this is the southern part of the empire.
If the earl is blood, then wine is also seen as blood.
Jirokwima (指鹿爲マ) refers to a deer and is called a horse.
The count’s prestige was absolute in the southern part of the empire.
“What are the guards doing?! Without throwing that arrogant bastard into the dungeon right now!”
” Yes! “
As soon as the earl’s words fell, the guards opened the gate as if they were waiting, and pointed their spears at Gus.
“Let go! Do you know who I am?”
Gus was caught by the guards and screamed in evil, but no one took Goose’s threats seriously.
Rather, it is filled with ridicule.
It was the sorrow of a family that was ruined and could not live in the present, drunk on the glory of the past.
