The reincarnated god of war destroys the empire
Poisoner Raven (1)
Five hundred knights, not even private soldiers, was clearly an excessive number.
For the time being, the knight Sa-Baek was dispatched by Duke Herman to guard the vast territory of the Black Swan.
“You don’t mean to suggest that we start a war, do you?”
“no way.”
Marquis Laxir stroked his moustache as if it were his habit.
“Sometimes I even forget my own identity.”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“I just wanted to let you know. It seems like you’ve forgotten who I am.”
“aha.”
“I’m not the type of person who likes to go around and show off, but I’m also human.”
Only then did I nod.
“Even if you don’t know, I hope others know. Is that right?”
“Hoo hoo hoo.”
It has been said that silence is affirmation.
Thanks to that, an emergency was declared inside.
Again, this is the residence of the Marquis of Milen.
“You may be royalty in your home country, but here you are a baron. Please show me the bare minimum of courtesy today.”
It was simultaneous with the words.
“What if it were the same Marquis?”
“… … !”
Through the open front door of the mansion, Mylon walked out without hiding his presence.
“Long time no see, Mylon.”
“It hasn’t been that long.”
“… … I sent word in advance that I was visiting in case there was any misunderstanding. I have business with Baron Enslot here, not with you.”
“You create a situation where you will be misunderstood, and then you tell people not to misunderstand. How strange.”
“So I… … .”
Before Marquis Laxir could continue speaking.
“Baron Enslot’s business here is no different from my own.”
“… … !”
At the same time, Marquis Laxir flinched.
“So… … does that mean that if a conflict arises between the Baron and me, you will fight against me?”
“This is my answer.”
Urrrr.
Soon a crowd of people poured out from inside the mansion.
Even I was wondering when they had brought in this many people.
‘I’d say it’s probably over two hundred.’
Even judging from the fact that each and every one of them was wearing robes, they were definitely the magical troop that Marquis Mylon was proud of.
“I’ve heard rumors about it… … but it’s even more surprising when you see it in person. You weren’t originally this type of character, were you?”
“… … .”
Mylon once again answered with silence.
Because I wasn’t originally the type of person to talk much.
“Hmm… … This actually became an opportunity for me to find out what kind of person you are.”
Within moments, Marquis Laxir looked at me and burst into laughter.
“Something… … I feel like all the prominent figures in our country are gathering around you. Is that an illusion?”
“It wasn’t my intention, so there’s no need to be so cautious.”
“It would be even more amazing if it wasn’t intentional. Although I don’t know if it was true.”
As Marquis Laxir said this, he placed his hand on the shoulder of the man he had captured.
“Why do I need this guy?”
“If I tell you, will you hand it over to me?”
“Let me hear your story first.”
no.
From the beginning, he intended to hand over the author to me.
If you didn’t have the heart to give, you wouldn’t have even been tied up like a criminal.
‘Once trust is broken, it’s not easy to repair a relationship.’
After being treated like that, do you think that guy Abidal would want to continue staying with Marquis Rakshire?
Additionally, I was able to find out one more fact.
‘Isn’t our relationship as deep as I thought?’
In front of countless subordinates, how can you hand over my person so shamelessly?
This also has a negative impact on the morale and loyalty of subordinates.
Yet his actions were without hesitation.
‘Maybe… …the author knows that he is a sinner.’
That way, everything makes sense.
However, it is highly likely that he is unaware of his past work at Dokmagung.
I wouldn’t give up that level of talent so easily.
In this way, I was able to infer quite a lot from fragmentary situations.
“I thought about it a lot last night.”

“Are you worried?”
“How can I make you my vassal?”
The Marquis of Laxir’s will was clear.
Even if you pass it on, it means that you will definitely receive what you deserve.
In other words, this was a ‘deal’.
And what he wanted seemed clear.
“Let me ask you the opposite. Why do you want the Black Swan so badly?”
“huh?”
“Honestly, aren’t you greedy for the land I own, not me?”
Until now, it was clear why Marquis Laxir had not been openly coveting the Black Swan.
Because the Principality of Mike will be aware of it.
One, I am the only one in the Heart Kingdom who doesn’t have to worry about what the country thinks.
They want to swallow up the Black Swan through me.
Here’s the problem.
“For now, the Principality of Mike will just leave me alone, but if I officially become the Marquis’ vassal, who knows what they might do. They’ll definitely think I’m trying to trick them. Then there’ll be another war.”
“… … .”
“Even if it is a land filled with natural resources, isn’t that meaningless?”
I saw it.
The other person’s response was not even swayed by that question.
‘Is there something more I don’t know about?’
It was when I was thinking like that.
“… … !”
At that moment, Marquis Laxir’s eyes gradually opened wide.
The expression on his face, as if he had seen something he shouldn’t have seen, was a bonus.
“All, you… … ?”
“… … ?”
The eyes were looking exactly to one side.
Between the magic troops, towards one robe.
I also took a close look at the face revealed under the robe.
‘Erina?’
Soon my body began to tremble.
That’s because the true identity of that robe was the madwoman Erina.
It was surprising how easily Marquis Laxir recognized her changed face, and it was also surprising that he singled her out among the countless people.
‘Come to think of it… … Marquis Rakshire didn’t know about her existence?’
The Marquis stayed at the Black Swan for a very long time.
He even made a secret pact with the elves.
It says to hit the dwarves.
‘If they were elves, they would have chosen Erina as the right person to deal with humans, just like they did in our time.’
It was that moment when questions were piling up one after another.
slap!
Finally, Erina turned around.
“… … !”
At the same time, Marquis Laxir took a hasty step forward.
“Okay, wait a minute!”
Chew chew chew!
As soon as he took a step forward, the magic legions showed their momentum and blocked his way.
thud!
Immediately, the knights of Marquis Laxir also stepped forward, revealing their murderous intent.
A situation so imminent that it wouldn’t be strange if a clash broke out at any moment.
“Father, please! Please open the way.”
“… … .”
Mylon looked at me instead of answering.
As if he was handing over this decision-making power to me.
“Instead, I will pay you the interest.”
“Your Majesty!”
The captured man’s face was stained with despair.
-Send it to me.
“… … !”
While I was wondering what to do with this, a voice came flying in.
If the parties permit it.
“Go.”
“Thank you. You guys wait here!”
Within, Marquis Laxir strode through the waves of people.
No, I just jumped and ran.
***
The place Marquis Laxir headed to was the backyard of Marquis Mylon’s mansion.
Because the one who was looking was standing there.
“Erina! Why are you here?”
Naturally, Marquis Laxir knew Erina’s identity.
That means, he already knows that she is the infamous ‘Prosecutor of Massacre’.
“I’m warning you.”
“warning……?”
“Don’t touch that kid.”
“… … !”
At the same time, Marquis Laxir’s pupils shook left and right.
Given the circumstances, it was clear who ‘that child’ was referring to.
“What is your relationship with Baron Enslot?”
For some reason, hot flames were rising from the pupils of Marquis Laxir who asked that question.
“Just like you.”
“What does that mean…?”
“fellow trader.”
“… … .”
However, as soon as Erina answered, the flames quickly disappeared.
“… … Are you aware of your own status? What if you meet someone who knows you?”
“I am a being that disappeared from the human world over 50 years ago. You are the only person I have met recently.”
“No matter what!”
“Marquis Laxir.”
Erina called him quietly.
“Is our promise still valid?”
“… … !”
Marquis Laxir nodded his head in response to that question, as if there was nothing to worry about.
“Of course.”
“Then help that child.”
“… … !”
Once again, an earthquake occurred in the pupil of Marquis Laxir.
“Why on earth did you want to help the Baron so badly? Why did you come all the way to this dangerous place on your own two feet… …!”
“My eyes are speaking.”
“The eyes speak?”
Erina nodded.
“He is different.”
***
About 10 minutes had passed since then.
“… …Thank you for waiting.”
Marquis Laxir returned with a somewhat dejected expression.
I didn’t try to eavesdrop on the conversation, fearing that I might find fault.
After all, that crazy elf wasn’t someone who would be easily defeated.
“Baron, may I ask you a personal favor?”
“Is this an extension of the transaction to transfer interest?”
I asked, hitting the captured man.
However, surprisingly, Marquis Laxir shook his head.
“I just need a favor.”
“… … ?
I soon nodded my head as the other person’s mood seemed to have changed.
“Let me just listen first.”
But the content of the request was even more unexpected.
“There’s a ball being hosted by our Marquis soon.”
“But?”
“If possible, please attend with the black-haired woman from earlier.”
“… … .”
I stared at the other person for a moment, then shook my head.
“I don’t know, but I don’t think it’s my place to decide what other people think… … .”
“Please.”
“… … .”
I looked at Marquis Laxir quietly.
Honestly, this wasn’t something that was unacceptable.
“I will try my best. However, if the person concerned refuses to go, then there is nothing I can do.”
“That’s enough.”
At that, Marquis Laxir turned around without any hesitation.
Of course, the captured guy was left behind.
“Oh, Marquis! Please don’t abandon me!”
The bastard’s pitiful voice echoed.
One, no one even looked back.
So, all of the knights of Marquis Laxir disappeared.
“이 개새끼!”
Nella, who had been patient until now, grabbed the bastard by the collar.
“Because of you… … ! Because of you, Master… … !”
“Hey, you guys! Why are you doing this to me?”
Nella’s face crumpled like a piece of paper in response.
“Don’t you know who I am?”
“I don’t remember anyone like you at all… … .”
“The 8th seat of the Imperial Palace, the only disciple of the princess.”
“… … !”
The bastard’s eyes gradually opened wide.
“Sir, could it be that kid… … ?”
At the same time, Nella raised the corners of her lips like a witch.
“Just wait. I’ll make you cry so loudly that you’ll beg to be killed.”
***
Nella, who had dragged the bastard underground, returned.
It was after quite some time had passed.
“Did you find out anything?”
“… … I found out something very important.”
Nella adjusted her glasses that were hanging on the bridge of her nose.
There was still a lot of dried blood on his hands.
Just by looking at that point, it was easy to guess what was going on underground.
“Abidal is under a ban.”
“taboo……?”
Soon my eyes opened wide.
To put it simply, the golden oath is like the oath of mana.
Threatens the target’s life when certain conditions are met.
“If I asked him anything related to the Empire, he would tear at my heart and cry in agony. I could have done more, but if I had asked him any more, his heart would have burst and he would have died.”
“… … !”
The implication was clear.
Anything related to the empire would naturally have been put on the empire.
That is, it means that even though they caught the criminal, they just released him.
“Let’s talk again… … Is it possible that the embezzlement he committed was part of the Emperor’s conspiracy?”
“under…….”
With a question, Nella swept back her flowing hair.
“No matter how painful the truth is… … this is pretty hard.”
She looked genuinely distressed as she spoke.
“We all worked like dogs in the Dokmagung Palace for ten years. Especially the Master, who was the palace owner, returned home physically and mentally ruined.”
“… … !”
My eyes opened wide.
This is because facts that I didn’t know about were continuously coming out.
“The body is broken… …?”
“Your guess is correct. Because of that guy in the basement, Master couldn’t treat his illness in time. The side effects that Miss May suffered from, Master experienced in his later years.”
“… … .”
I looked quietly into Nella’s eyes.
At least there didn’t seem to be any lies in what he just said.
“Then what about your mind?”
“You must have felt very lonely because you couldn’t meet the colleagues you wanted to see.”
“Is this depression?”
“He had severe depression. He even attempted suicide later on.”
“… … .”
My mouth was shut like that.
“Master especially missed your death a lot. He used to say that it was like losing the only friend he had in his life.”
“… … .”
“Every year on the anniversary of the great hero’s death, he held a memorial service alone. But even so, he suffered from nightmares every night. I heard his voice crying out, ‘Please come back, my friend!’ several times.”
“… … .”
“He pretended not to know on the outside, but… … he was a very lonely person.”
Suddenly, I was struck by an ominous thought.
Because every word she said was in the past tense.
“Where is Poisoner Raven now?”
