Chapter 33. The unknown void swallows the prominence. (12)
“her!”
Diego burst out laughing as if he was shocked.
“Loyalty? “Did you just say you were loyal?”
“Are you already getting thin ears?”
He chuckled and took a step back from Diego’s shield.
“If this isn’t loyalty, what is?”
“No matter what this bastard says… … .”
Diego frowned. The hand that lifted the shield with a jerk was very rough.
“I came here to help, but… … .”
Even though he was grumbling like that, he did not back down from the orders he gave the knights.
Thanks to that,
“Ugh!”
“Hmm… … .”
The Ovest Knights, led by Richard, captured the archers. As the distance narrowed, there was nothing the archers could do.
“Haha, I surrender!”
“Please save me, please save me!”
The small army of Cain was completely suppressed by the knights under my direct command.
“As expected, Your Majesty!”
“So you didn’t need my help?”
Hayden and other knights gave a thumbs up.
‘Those kids?’
He said he would help, but in reality, he may not have had any intention of coming.
“Ugh!”
“Ugh… … ”
The Sud knights who had targeted me also fell to the ground.
In fact, there wasn’t much for the knights around me to do.
“… … .”
It was already full of black, dried corpses.
“Ugh… … .”
This is because there were many knights who were hit by arrows and became unable to fight.
“It would have been enough for me alone.”
He shrugged both shoulders leisurely.
“You came too late and just spoon-fed me.”
“Anyway, for that little brat… … .”
Diego turned his head in the opposite direction.
“Quit! “I will go back now.”
“It may have been up to me when I came, but not when I leave.”
He pointed behind Diego.
“Because the portal is closed.”
“… … !”
Diego looked back into empty space and opened his mouth.
“When will you ride back to the capital?”
“… … .”
“Please be quiet and come with me.”
In the end, Diego muttered softly and closed his mouth.
“… … “He became even more arrogant after becoming emperor.”
Then I couldn’t hold back and added another word,
“This is called confidence, not arrogance.”
I also didn’t take a single step back.
“I will take it as a compliment that you are a great fit for this position.”
“… … her!”
Diego seemed speechless and just snorted.
‘It’s still the same.’
If you get into an argument, you can’t even get your head around it and end up giving up.
However, the difference may be that the appearance is not as ugly as before.
Swish-
He took something out of his pocket and threw it at Diego.
Tup.
Diego’s eyes widened as he instinctively took the item.
“This!”
What I threw at him was the ointment that Diego had given me before.
“It’s sad to see that, so let’s get treatment first.”
He spoke calmly and gestured towards his arm.
“Stop complaining later.”
As if he hadn’t heard the blatant rebuke, Diego stared at the ointment container for a moment.
“… … “Is this something you carried with you the whole time?”
“I forgot to throw it away. “I had absolutely nothing to write about.”

Diego was not angry despite the blunt answer.
“… … Hum, hum.”
He just cleared his throat repeatedly and looked embarrassed.
Meanwhile, Diego’s Ovest Knights and my direct knights organized the situation neatly.
Clang, clank.
Those who have lost the will to fight drop their weapons,
“Aaaah!”
“I can’t let you go like this!”
Only the Sud Knights continued their lonely fight.
“die!”
Sometimes there were knights who couldn’t give up and rushed at Diego and me,
“Where!”
Diego easily took the attack with just one hand.
Suddenly!
And then he blew the knight’s head into the air.
three! Suddenly!
His beloved sword, Ebony, mercilessly stabbed the enemy in the chest and decapitated him. Ovest’s swordsmanship, demonstrated with just one hand, was deadly.
He was a perfect swordsman in his own right, the pinnacle of swordsmanship.
Sigh!
I also put Requiem in the face of the attacking knight.
“Okay… … .”
“Ahh… … !”
The attack continued, making it difficult for even the knights, who must have developed patience through extensive training, to withstand.
Jump!
It burrows between the clavicle and gnaws at the heart,
Sigh!
It pierces the top of your head and eats away at your brain.
Diego and I’s merciless offensive,
“omg… … !”
“shit!”
The Sud Knights hesitated and retreated. Then he turned his back and started attacking the other knights.
“Ugh… … !”
“Tsk!”
Of course, the choice wasn’t right.
“Don’t miss it!”
“Drive it over there!”
The Ovest Knights overwhelmingly annihilated their enemies. As always.
“I will help!”
“It’s been a while, everyone!”
Even that ended dully when the knights directly under my command joined.
In this way, the last rebels lost their lives one after another.
After a while.
Diego grabbed the flagpole that had fallen to the ground after losing its owner.
fluttering-
The red flag was soaked with blood and stained dark red.
Pop!
After he broke the flagpole in two pieces,
bang!
threw it on the floor In front of Carlo, who was kneeling with her arms tied.
Carlo looked at the flag of the Sud Knights for a moment, then
“… … Diego.”
I raised my head.
Her hair, which had been smooth and combed with oil, was matted, and her face, riddled with fine wrinkles, was full of dust and blood.
“It’s been a while.”
Diego answered briefly. It was a face where I didn’t know what he was thinking.
However, at first glance, it seemed like a piece of emotion passed through the blue eyes that were looking at Carlo.
“… … .”
The sight of the two people standing facing each other was so contrasting that it evoked a strange feeling in the viewer.
Diego’s blue color and strong face, and Carlo’s red color and handsome face.
Carlo had a good figure for a man of his age, but he couldn’t compare to Diego.
Although it is absurd to compare him to a man who is still active.
Especially now, with Carlo kneeling and Diego standing, the difference in body size between the two became even more noticeable.
“Ha ha ha ha ha… … .”
Carlo burst into laughter.
“I didn’t think I’d see you here, my Diego.”
For someone who was humiliatingly kneeling, his tone was extremely calm.
“Why, seeing what my son did made me feel more confident?”
Carlo raised his voice as if trying to provoke Diego.
“Did you think it would be okay to come out of Obest territory and go on a rampage now?”
He probably doesn’t know about the cold life that surrounds me.
No, rather, it was clear that he was acting that way because he knew that death was imminent.
“Wasn’t he the one who stayed away for over ten years just because he heard some harsh words from me?”
Diego was surprisingly not angry. instead,
“… … “That was it.”
I quietly agreed to Carlo’s words.
“You know, I don’t have a long tongue like you.”
And then he grabbed the sword that had been sheathed again.
Sereung-
Ebony appeared with a clear cry.
Although Diego could not reveal his presence through words, he overwhelmed those around him when he did not speak.
“… … .”
Even Carlo had to keep his mouth shut as the sharp and purple sword light encroached on the surroundings.
“Did I say I didn’t leave the door?”
Diego looked at Carlo, who suddenly became quiet, and nodded at Ebony.
“The Kindreal family has always been faithful to its mission to protect the empire.”
“… … .”
“I just got my hands on a useful sword, so I’m different from someone who gets too arrogant and dreams in vain.”
Sigh-
The tip of Ebony’s sword touched Carlo’s chin.
“It’s still the same now.”
“… … !”
Carlo’s face hardened.
He feels it too. That Diego is planning to pierce my throat right now.
He is an envoy who will not hesitate to take the life of a traitor who threatens the empire.
“Put away your sword.”
In my words,
“… … .”
Diego’s hand, which seemed as if he would thrust the sword in at any moment, stopped.
Diego wriggled his hands vigorously,
Sreung!
Immediately, he lifted his sword without saying a word. It was a movement as quick as a sword.
Tap, tap.
I stepped aside and approached his empty seat.
“… … Abel Kindreal.”
Carlo did not show me the courtesy of an emperor until the end. He will probably struggle to never acknowledge me.
“Obviously, I told you to take care of Lowell… … .”
He grinned at the low voice as if he was crawling on the floor.
“Don’t blame me too much. “That was his limit.”
“… … .”
“Besides, what would you do if you found someone who was already dead?”
He smiled heartily and spoke as if he were giving medicine.
“I just went around rooting out evil in the empire, and that was the guild you run, Carlo.”
“… … .”
“Then why are you living dishonorably? “You won’t be able to properly clean up after yourself.”
Carlo tensed his chin for a moment,
“If there is light, there is a shadow.”
Eventually, he twisted his lips and smiled.
“What parent doesn’t want their child’s future to be bright?”
Unlike before, when he pretended to be calm, his voice contained a slight tremor.
“I just decided to become a shadow for the light. “I just did everything I could for my son.”
“By mortgaging someone else’s life.”
“Even if it wasn’t me, someone would have done it.”
A mysterious energy flickered in Carlo’s red eyes.
“That’s the way this world works.”
It was a look that could better be called madness. He believes he is never wrong.
“… … okay. “Then die thinking like that.”
I had no intention of awakening these human values. Because the ending was decided anyway.
“But know one thing. “Your excessive greed brought about the destruction of the Ardante family.”
Sereung-
I picked up the Requiem and aimed it at Carlo.
“I won’t be lonely on the way. Lowell, who went first, will be waiting.”
“… … .”
“Ah, there will be Gasol following behind. “It’s going to be very noisy, right?”
Carlo’s eyes trembled.
Hundreds of emotions passed through his red eyes. There was still no reflection on past mistakes.
The regret of not being able to achieve a great cause, the regret of not being able to prevent variables like mine in advance, and the anger.
finally… … chagrin.
Pisik-
A cold smile crossed his lips.
‘Yes, I did.’
Carlo, you are a human being.
That’s why I was on guard and blocked you until the end. Because I know that there are people who will block my path in some way.
“… … .”
Carlo read my cynicism and made a fearful face. However, it was not a feeling toward my own death.
“… … your majesty.”
Finally, Carlo put his head to the floor.
“Please, have mercy.”
A voice barely holding back tears came out.
“I will sacrifice everything for the Ardante family. Property, fiefdom, title… … .”
“… … .”
“And I, Carlo Ardante, will also sacrifice his life.”
The plea of a man who lost everything was truly desperate.
“Please take everything. But, just one thing.”
Carlo spoke in a torn, but extremely polite voice.
“My son… … Cain, please spare Cain’s life.”
