Chapter 66. There is nothing more fun than playing with fire (2) I have already put up with it a lot.
It must have been the queen's parents' family that ordered the mercenaries who tried to raid the paper factory not too long ago.
If she suffered a loss due to paper, there is only one foreign country that produced old-fashioned paper or her parents' family's clothing store that imported it.
Gradually, it is necessary to give her a small warning and physical restraint.
I guess I should have been adequately prepared for today.
It will run right at night.
I have a personality that won't work unless I pay back 10 times what I receive, be it grace or enemies.
The pros in the previous life are narrow-minded.
“Tonight. Be prepared. Madame.”
Maybe the lady doesn't know.
What will happen today.....
Huhuhuhuhuhu.
* * *
Midnight in the middle of the dark.
I infiltrated the estate of the queen's parental home, Pracega.
This place is also unreasonable to come directly by teleport because of the barriers that have been set up for security reasons.
There's nothing I can't break, but it's annoying after that.
If I break this, the soldiers will come rushing in wanting to see my handsome face?
After teleporting nearby, he quickly jumped up and climbed over the wall.
It was easy to show this level of body movement because at this moment, the restrictions placed on the body were lifted.
Even walls are not an obstacle to me.
Barrier? There are plenty of ways to get through it without breaking it.
This time I'm going to use the back hole.
The last time I investigated it, I found out that it seemed to be always set to pass only a certain mana wavelength, perhaps to operate the spy.
So, if I use that mana wave against me, I can pass through the barrier without getting caught.
Of course, the wavelength is quite complex and difficult to interpret, but it is simple if I make up my mind and stick to it.
When I analyzed the wavelength and put my arm in, there was no change in the barrier.
Having infiltrated so easily, I smiled slightly as I watched the soldiers patrolling.
‘I don't even notice at all.'
no one will know who i am
His face and hair were covered, and his clothes were changed into sloppy clothes that would be worn by a nearby gangster.
Who could have imagined that the frail youngest prince would jump up and over the wall?
Even the best soldiers and knights would have a hard time recognizing my presence.
Even if you see me, it's so simple to knock me down on the spot.
‘Somehow, it's been a while since I've been infiltrated, so it's a little fun.'
Move silently without anyone noticing.
It's quite a pleasure when a soldier doesn't notice even though you pass right next to it.
You want to play a joke.
‘Ah... I can't play.'
I didn't sneak in today to play.
I'm here to punish you
And the punishment will be received by her parents.
Moving quickly through the site, he reached his goal, the castle where the lord of this place resides, all at once.
‘It's filthy spacious....
This is bigger than our house?
It is so large that it is not inferior to the castles of the concubines, and there are many buildings.
Still, it's the queen's birth family, and it's a great aristocratic family that you know, so you have to be dignified at this level.
Normally, I would be the first to be sarcastic.
Instead, he smirked.
The wider it is, the bigger the castle is, the more rewarding it is to punish.
‘Then shall we begin?'
After getting close to range, I stretched out my hand toward the sky and quietly chanted a spell.
‘First, I'll explode the signal flare noisily.'
The completed magic was shot straight into the sky.
“Fireball.”
What was fired was a simple fireball.
Originally, it was a simple magic that created and fired a spark the size of my head.
However, the fireball that I poured a little too much of my mana into was swollen up to ten times larger than a normal fireball.
As a reference, even if it is this large, it is not very practical.
But there are some useful corners.
ruler. burst
The fireball suddenly exploded in the sky.
Explosive sounds, vibrations, and heat shake the surrounding area.
Truly a big explosion!
It's perfect for making a fuss like this.
“It's a fireworks display that marks the beginning of terrorism.”
At this rate, all the people sleeping in the castle must have woken up, right?
I smirked and decided to start in earnest.
Let the terror begin.
Did you guys try to get me out politically?
Then I will harm you with physical terror in return.
* * *
A large explosion suddenly occurred in the sky.
The power that shook even the ground was enough to urgently wake up all those staying in the castle.
Queen Elia's father, Prince Dezel, the head of Prace, also noticed the abnormal situation at the explosion outside and the busy running soldiers and ladies-in-waiting, and prepared to evacuate quickly.
“Dezel-nim, you have to dodge.”
“...what the hell happened?”
When I asked the lady-in-waiting who guided us to the emergency passage, the lady-in-waiting answered while examining the surroundings with a tense face unlike usual.
“A mysterious explosion occurred a little over the territory.”
Understanding at once that the explosion was not a natural phenomenon, he narrowed his eyes in anger.
“...Somebody... dared to do that...
“The knights are looking at the situation right now, so Dezel-sama should avoid it just in case.”
He also followed the maid's guidance without much complaint, as if he agreed with the maid's words.
“Are the others all right?”
“yes. We are currently evacuating.”
that's fortunate
‘... what happened?'
A sudden attack at this hour?
It's utterly inconceivable.
And naturally, I tried to think of who would do this, but on the contrary, I thought of too many suspicious people, so there was no suspect.
There are many people to hold grudge against, but on the contrary, there is no particular person who can do something like this.
In any case, it should be avoided for now.
“Fire!”
Even at the moment of avoiding through the emergency passage, the screams of soldiers and shouts to announce the current situation could be heard from other places without rest.
And then there was a continuous burst of noise.
It couldn't have been a scene as if a war was taking place.
Those who belonged to this territory were only able to escape, frightened by the constant explosions and soaring flames.
* * *
Whoahahahahahaha! You ride really well!
If it were a normal stone, it wouldn't burn, but it catches fire quite well when burned with magic.
The screams heard in the castle are really beautiful!
I laughed out loud as I watched the blazing castle from safety.
Just in case, there is also a magic that kills the presence and makes the appearance invisible, so there is nothing to be discovered.
Even if you get caught, you can beat it and knock it out.
“Yes, try running away while trembling.”
The first explosion, and although smaller than the first, deliberately set off an explosion in the sky was to wake people who were still sleeping.
The purpose today is to punish.
I have no intention of attacking for the purpose of killing.
First of all, we have to create a commotion and evacuate.
If the purpose is simply to remove a specific person, there is no need to go through such a cumbersome effort.
Anyway, the purpose today is only to give them physical property damage.
They set fire to warehouses, treasure chests, and weapons warehouses managed by family soldiers, focusing on places where there were no people.
It wasn't an ordinary fire, it was an arson caused by magic, so at least all the goods in the warehouse would be sure to burn.
They intend to damage their family's military power as well as their property.
‘It's a method that you all use anyway, so it's a teacher.'
The last factory raid was a return for the attempted suicide.
That's what they were trying to do to my estate anyway.
Then you just have to pay interest and receive it.
That's enough, I'll take care of the rest.
They evacuated moderately, and there will be no deaths.
Of course, I'll take care not to die.
Even now, they deliberately control the flames to induce appropriate evacuation.
I can't help it until I'm injured.
After watching it burn for a long time, I felt proud for some reason when I saw the properly baked castle.
Playing with fire is fun sometimes.
I want to watch more, but I still have a lot of work to do.
“ah. right. I almost forgot this.”
I took out a sheet of parchment from my bosom, scribbled it with a pen, and sent it to the castle using teleportation magic.
I deliberately sent it to a place out of reach of fire, so there is no need to worry about burning it.
What is the content of the letter?
No big deal.
It's just a small greeting.
I'm going to set fire to your heart
- by Pro from the previous life.
good! Crazy enough.
Satisfied, I turned my back on the burning castle.
I'm going to do it like this.
I'm going to go to other goals soon.
The night is short, so you have to move quickly.
It's a good chance that the soldiers and nobles are confused because they are currently distracted by the flames.
Having set fire to the main house, I continued to roam the territory and attacked the remaining nobles in the same way in turn.
This is where not only the main house of Prache, but also the branch family and the nobles who follow them are staying.
The branches that run each store also live in the same territory, so if you work diligently, you can feed them too.
The aristocrats who escaped the mansion that suddenly started burning sat down in front of the burning mansion, devastated, as if they had encountered an untimely disaster.
‘Oops, defenseless man.'
You can't show your back so easily.
It seems that the lord cleverly escaped to the shelter through a secret passage in the mansion, but the rest of the nobles don't seem to have the brains to do so.
Since you showed a gap after a long time, would you like to present an additional gift?
I put a curse on every noble who showed an opening.
Unlike the magic system here, these curses are techniques I learned in my previous life.
The wizards here couldn't do it.
It's possible if you study for a long time, but I won't give you the time to do that.
It's not like it's anything grandiose.
The curse of a disease that makes the body a little sick is like the flu.
It will weaken the body, but it will not die.
After some time, it will naturally loosen up.
So it must be difficult to recognize that this is a curse.
It is to put restrictions on them so that they cannot easily operate after today's terror.
With this, the heads who run this place won't be able to move properly for a while.
You're paying them damage they'll never forget.
That's how I get my grudge back.
The remaining mansions were also raided.
‘Should I pack only what I need and leave?'
I wasted my teleport scroll and my precious mana to get here.
More than anything, I poured even my precious time into it.
Wouldn't it be empty to go back like this?
I immediately infiltrated the storehouse run by the territory.
security?
In the middle of the day, the security guards are not even standing properly because everyone is busy dealing with terrorism.
It was put to sleep with moderate magic and the magic to protect the warehouse was physically broken coolly.
Barrier? I hit it with my fist and it broke.
The iron lock, the last hold, was grabbed by hand and crushed to rip it off.
hmm? Wild?
Let's open the warehouse.
“Wow? Have you seen these make quite a bit?”
Certainly, it seems like a high-ranking nobleman looking after him.
It is full of money-worthy goods, food, and mouth-watering items.
Do you like everything?
“I have to take these too.”
It's sad when you go out and return empty-handed.
I moved all the items in the warehouse to the secret warehouse I made in my territory with teleport magic.
