Episode 204

“gray?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Tell me the names of the people you killed recently and buried in a sunny place.”
Gray, who had been at the back, steps forward as if he had been waiting.
“Delroy Malone, Jornen DeRitt, Peren Morris, Ben Morris… … .”
As the names continued, the expressions on the surrounding nobles’ faces began to rot.
That makes sense, since it’s his own child’s name.
Among them, Duke Malone shouts.
“Yes, Inom!!”
I turned my head.
“It was you!! You dare attack my son!!”
I just ignored it.
Where did the 40-second vigor come from?
In the meantime, I gestured to Gray, who kept mentioning my name.
Then the guy just shuts his mouth.
On the contrary, the conference room is about to become noisy.
There, the cell that had materialized into the main body kicked its feet hard.
Boom-!!
The surroundings become quiet as the marble floor shatters.
I’ve been wondering about this for a while now.
“General Rommel is nowhere to be seen. Does anyone know where he has gone?”
At that moment, a man in the back and a master holding weight in the corner snickered.
By the looks of it, those two seem to be Duke Frederick Assenble and Duke Douglas Assenble.
Something feels off.
no way.
“Did you kill him?”
Duke Ascendant did not answer my questions.
Instead, he started talking nonsense.
“They are monopolizing state affairs.”
A cold atmosphere is added to the cold atmosphere again.
As Duke Ascension begins to speak, a sudden movement is felt on the railings of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors.
One, two.
The nobles look up.

The conference room is literally a conference room.
There is a huge table, and when you look up from it, all you can see is the ceiling.
A hollow structure.
A building with an artistic sensibility, like a spire.
Each floor had a railing overlooking the conference room.
I would say it has a very unique structure.
As always, it’s really hard to guess what artists are thinking.
Still, one thing is certain.
It’s just that this huge building itself was built for the sole purpose of holding meetings.
There is no such thing as a waste.
And now, the number of people who have appeared on that railing easily exceeds several hundred.
Oh, I was hoping so.
I never thought something like this would happen.
“I thought something was strange. Was that it? Did you prepare it yourself?”
Agares Teslan was the only one who didn’t notice what was happening.
The guy looks around with really wide eyes.
The knights of the guard surrounding the four sides and the knights of each territory.
I should have been outside, but I wonder when I came inside.
No, was it already inside?
But why are the Knights Templar standing there like that?
Why did you ignore the order to wait outside?
Those words were written on his face.
At that moment, Duke Ascension, who was behind, started walking.
The place where he sat was Agares Teslan, next to him.
Just as Agares was about to ask something.
Something funny happened that I never expected.
Duke Ascendant takes out a dagger from his bosom and stabs Agares in the neck with it.
That process happened.
A whooshing sound is heard.
Agares falls.
“Why… … Why me… … ?”
Duke Ascension stands in front of Agares, who has fallen.

“Jack Valantier, who killed Agares Teslan, the rightful heir to the throne of Teslan.”
They talk such nonsense.
“I, Friedrich Assenble, the Supreme Law Enforcement Officer of the Kingdom of Teslan and the leader of the kingdom’s only ‘Guardian House,’ hereby execute the heinous criminal.”

Phew.
oh my god.
“He was more interesting than I thought. There really are comedians out there.”
I can’t seem to tell the difference between poop and soybean paste.
Sigh.
It was at that time that I was sighing like that.
Toouk-
The senses scream out with a light kicking sound.
To most people, there is someone in that blind spot.
I naturally tilted my head back.
Phew-!
A small, flying object flies past my nose, and I see a thick hand grabbing it.
Just keep taking steps and step aside slightly.
Ss …
Another dagger passes through the area where my head was just a moment ago.
Let me be honest.
It’s a pretty good move.
The skill of digging into a square and mercilessly aiming for the opponent’s head, and even if that misses, aiming for the same spot again.
In that state, he raised his left arm and clenched his right fist.
Thud-!
The dagger that was flying back was caught in my hand.
Only then can you see it.
A man whose body appears very blurry, perhaps because he used invisibility magic.
Height: about 184cm.
The man, who was neither fat nor thin, was glaring at me with murderous eyes.
The man who had been posing in the corner since a while ago.
In appearance, he closely resembles General Rommel.
It’s obvious who it is.
Douglas Ascension.
He is the second son of the inspiration.
He looked extremely embarrassed now.
No, if you’re going to attack, why are you panicking?
I really don’t know why you look so surprised.
“Commander of the Guards.”
Douglas shouts in a tone of fear and urgency, as if something is wrong, as if he is afraid to call the position.

“All Knights of the Royal Guard, draw your swords… …!”
Ignoring him, he swung his right fist that he had been clenching.
Douglas Ascension’s eyes opened wide.
My fist flies towards those wide-open eyes.
Kwaaaaang-!!
A brief silence followed by a loud noise.
He slowly lowered his fist and took a step back.
at the same time.
dump-
The body of Douglas Ascension, headless, falls to the ground.
Towards that corpse, I said the words I had never been able to say.
“It was nice meeting you.”
The atmosphere that was about to heat up suddenly subsides.
“……uh?”
Friedrich Assenble with his mouth wide open.
I guess that’s when I realized it.
What was he trying to do just now?
And I noticed it too.
They didn’t even do a proper investigation on me.
Sigh.
I wonder if the inspiration was not good enough to persuade him or if he is incompetent.
I ended up shaking my head.
I don’t understand whether this trashy kingdom is overflowing with talent or not.
Tch.
* * *
“gray.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“As you know, I don’t know the faces of nobles very well. I know the names, but they don’t match up well. And that’s not you.”
Gray nods.
The only one who knows for sure who is who is Gray, who is of noble birth.
Aveiro may know this at first glance, but this board is made by Gray.
Then we should let Gray be active.
“Help me get revenge on the cell next to me. There’s a small conference room over there. I’ll leave the door open, so just drive those kids in there.”
“yes.”
Then he looked at Blanc next to the cell.

“hey.”
“……yes?”
“Watch from Cell’s side. Feel how the dragon race you are so proud of is treated. Feel it properly.”
“……yes.”
“Cell.”
-Yes, boss.
“I know you don’t need me to say it, but just kill them all without exception. Don’t think about anything else.”
-Yes, boss.
Oh, and I forgot this.
He raised his right hand high in the sky.
At the same time, hundreds of knights who had been standing on the railing with blank expressions slowly rise into the sky.
My thoughts created by binding magic, a higher level of sanity.
One by one, from circle 6 to circle 7, and even circle 9.
In the kingdom, hundreds of knights, seemingly extremely rare, resist my will, drawing on all their mana.
But how could that be possible?
Five fingers spread out.
that is.
That moment when you are gripped very tightly.
Kwajijijik-!!
“Kwaaaaak-!”
They all scream in unison.
The conference room is getting very noisy.
He lowered his raised hand.
In response, hundreds of knights fell like raindrops from the sky.
Crunch!
Kwajik-!
Kwajijik-!
Hundreds of corpses piled up in an instant.
In the midst of the corpse’s tragedy, I was looking at the Duke of Ascension.
“Say it again. What’s wrong?”
dump-
Duke Ascendant, who had fallen backwards, seemed to have lost his mind.
Oh, really.
“If you’re going to make a plan, make it right. Who are the people waiting outside and who are the people waiting inside? It seems like they’re the standby group and the execution group, but did you really think you could kill me with just these guys?”
It’s so pathetic that it’s beyond belief.
Advertisements
I wonder if I can bring all the masters of the Tulcan Empire, but with just these guys?
A burst of laughter breaks out.
He walked among the corpses and stopped right in front of Duke Friedrich Assenble.
“Now, take your pick. Do you want to die by me or by our little one?”
“You… … You… … ?”
Are you saying that everything your father said was true? … Oh my god. That’s what he looks like.
He shrugged.
I don’t want to bother asking twice, so just do it.
“gray?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Put this in that conference room too.”
“insect-!”
Gray’s answer, full of military discipline, seemed to signal the end of the situation.
He turned around, carrying his luggage on his back.
Okay, now let’s think about the aftermath.
I don’t know about anything else, but I never thought that my inspiration would be absent.
no way.
Are you really dead?
Chapter 4
The Duke of Ascension.
To be honest, I’ve never been there before and only watched from afar, but I didn’t know that it would actually come.
And the dungeon there.
As soon as I open the door, a cold wind hits me.
I walked slowly.
Thud thud-
For a moment, I noticed that it was quite clean for a prison, as the interior had been renovated not long ago.
I stopped in front of a corner cell.
An old man inside slowly raises his head.
and.
“What does that look like?”
“… … .”
“Is it because there have been more things happening recently than you thought, that you let your guard down? Or did you let your guard down?”
The inspiration just looked at me blankly, without saying a word.
It’s not like it’s a mess, but I have to say that the overall feeling, starting from the appearance, is strange.
Our inspiration.

I used to look quite young for my age, but now I look back and realize that I’ve aged ten years in just a few days.
however.
“Hey, I know because I’ve been in prison myself, but isn’t it surprisingly nice to live there?”
“… … .”
“Without a care in the world, the only things I can think about are what I’ll have for breakfast this morning, what I’ll have for lunch today, and things like that. When I think about it, going to prison seems like a kind of reward.”
“… … .”
“Honestly, I’m a little surprised. If you’re like me, you could probably guess what’s going on. The situation is strange… … It feels strange… … You must have sensed that, so how come you’re here? Neither the Duke of Ascension nor the Captain of the Royal Guards seem very capable. Do you think you’re letting them off because they’re your children?”
The old man, who had been silent all along, slowly opened his mouth.
“What happened to those two guys?”
I’m sure you didn’t ask without knowing.
I guess you want to hear a definitive answer.
So I just didn’t hide it.
“They died. Douglas died relatively comfortably, while Friedrich died in agony at the hands of Sell.”
“What about the crown prince?”
“Dead. At Friedrich’s hand.”
Do you have an idea of what the situation is like?
The inspiration lets out a deep sigh.
“It seems like you had to persuade him a lot, didn’t you?”
“that?”
“It’s really late… … something like that.”
Our inspiration smiles as if it has been liberated.
“It’s late… … That’s right. It’s late. And it’s too late.”
