Return of the Calamity-Class Death Knight Chapter 30

The Return of the Destruction Level Death Knight Episode 30

Episode 30: Exposure (3)

Gaol Heimlich’s actions were very quick.

He immediately took the soldiers and arrested the Chelsea Gold Fixie users.

We inspected everything, not only her bedroom, but also the businesses she worked in and the stores she frequently visited.

As a result, they were able to capture a large number of people who knew about the relationship between Chelsea Gold Fixie and the warlock.

The duke brought in torturers and interrogated them.

“Yes, that’s right! Grand Duchess Chelsea has joined hands with the warlocks!”

“How did you meet? Well, I don’t know! Che, the Grand Duchess of Chelsea suddenly brought me here one day!”

“Huh, the warlocks helped Grand Duchess Chelsea with everything! “Ah, everything your Excellency told us to do was done by warlocks!”

The truth known through them was shocking.

First of all, all the abilities and achievements that Chelsea Gold Fixie has shown so far were fake, achieved with the help of warlocks.

Chelsea Gold Fixie expanded her influence within the family with the help of warlocks.

“Well, there’s more! “The Grand Duchess received the help of warlocks and won the loyalty of her vassals!”

“W-We don’t even know what kind of black magic it is! “I just heard that if you inhale the scent, you will fall in love with the Grand Duchess!”

Chelsea Gold Fixie even used black magic to turn her vassals to her side.

Because of black magic, there were numerous retainers who sided with the Chelsea Gold Fixies.

It was fortunate that there were no vassals with great influence.

The duke sent soldiers to capture all the vassals and knights who were possessed by the Chelsea Gold Fixie.

If you think about it, they were just victims. However, since he was under the influence of black magic, he could not be left alone.

One day when the interrogation continued like that.

There was news that Chelsea Gold Fixie committed suicide.

* * *

Even on the day Chelsea Goldpixie died, Damian Haxen was concentrating on training.

Although I received an elixir of magic crystals, it was difficult to accept it in my current state.

It was time to return from training. I saw a peacock pacing in front of the bedroom.

“dismissal?”

Damian asked with a puzzled look. Only then did the duke discover that Damien had arrived.

“Ah, are you here? “I was waiting to see when it would come.”

“Why don’t you have a servant call you?”

“I can’t interfere with your training, right?”

The duke said with a smile.

“But what’s going on?”

“Oh, it’s nothing special.”

The Duke raised his arms. He had a wine bottle in his hand.

“Do you like alcohol?”

* * *

The duke took Damian to a room in the corner.

“It’s a separate room created to enjoy hobbies.”

The room was filled with alcohol.

There were many different types. Wine, vodka, whiskey, etc. It was difficult to find something that wasn’t there.

“Sit down for a moment and wait. “I’ll bring you some snacks.”

So saying, the Duke took out a lump of cheese from the cupboard.

With skillful hands, he sliced ​​the cheese and placed it in a bowl.

“This wine goes well with angelic cheese from the Blanco region.”

The duke poured wine into the glass in front of Damian. Red liquid trickled down.

“Try it sometime.”

Damian put the glass in his mouth. A strong scent spread throughout my mouth.

“It’s a good drink.”

“Haha, thank you for noticing. “It’s not a very expensive drink, but it’s my favorite drink.”

The Duke also drank a glass of wine. He didn’t even take a few sips before his glass was empty.

“Great, that’s good. good.”

Then, the Duke put the cheese he had cut into his mouth.

“In the end, I decided to get help from the church.”

The duke suddenly said.

Damian wondered.

If the church was called, there was no choice but to face interference.

This would not have been pleasant for someone as proud as the duke.

“Aren’t you making your decision too quickly?

Damian also asked, putting a piece of cheese in his mouth.

I couldn’t understand why the Duke, who was always so confident, could so obediently call the Order.

“Actually, we missed all the warlocks.”

The duke briefly clicked his tongue and spoke.

“I caught all of Gold Pixie’s associates. “There wasn’t a single warlock among them.”

“Is that true?”

“Yes, I can’t believe it either, but it’s true. “I couldn’t even find out the names of the warlocks.”

The duke frowned. He seemed very ashamed that he had missed the warlock.

“I’m not afraid of warlocks. Because the knights who follow me are strong. But you never know what kind of tricks they might pull, right?”

The scariest thing about warlocks is not their force.

All kinds of insidious schemes using black magic were scary.

If the curse of the plague were to be inflicted while hiding in the dark, the duke’s territory residents would inevitably suffer great damage.

“To deal with a warlock, the best way is to call the church. So, I’m thinking of leaving it to the church.”

“I guess Chelsea Gold Pixie revealed the identity of the warlocks.”

“I didn’t get a chance to do that. “The child died on the first day.”

Damian paused chewing the cheese and looked at the duke.

It has already been more than five days since Chelsea Gold Pixie was captured. And it was today that the news of his death came.

But what about the first day?

“On the first day he was arrested by the soldiers, he committed suicide by chewing his tongue.”

“So you’ve been hiding it all this time and now you’re revealing it?”

The duke nodded to Damien’s question.

“If the news of Chelsea Gold Fixie’s suicide became known, wouldn’t everyone involved run away? “That’s why I kept it a secret.”

Damian clicked his tongue inwardly.

Anyway, my own child died. She didn’t expect her to think so calmly.

“Chelsea Gold Fixie died, the warlock was all missed, and we couldn’t find out who it was… … “It’s not about face.”

The duke leaned back in his chair and sighed.

Damian looked at the Duke and said.

“You look very tired.”

“Does it look like that? “This is embarrassing.”

The duke said, smiling quietly. But he couldn’t hide the fatigue that appeared under his eyes.

“Chelsea Gold Fixie’s mother was a lowlife.”

Then suddenly the duke opened his mouth.

“When I was young, I went hunting with knights and ended up in a rural village. Then he met the child’s mother.”

It was common for a noble to seek out a commoner for one night.

The ending was also obvious.

“She got pregnant with Chelsea right away. But when I was young, I was displeased with the fact that a commoner was pregnant with my blood. So she threw out the woman who came to see me.”

The Duke’s face was extremely emotionless as he talked about the past.

I couldn’t feel regret, remorse, or any other emotion.

“As time passed like that… … Suddenly, I became curious about the whereabouts of the child I had abandoned. “I had someone investigate and found out that the mother had died of the plague and the child was living alone.”

The duke brought in Chelsea Gold Pixie, who was living alone.

No one knew what the reason was. Perhaps the duke himself did not know.

“Chelsea wasn’t a very bright kid. Even considering that he had lived as an underprivileged citizen for a long time, he was not very bright. “He had leadership skills, but he lacked ability.”

There is nothing more dangerous than an incompetent leader.

So the Duke did not use the Chelsea Gold Fixie much.

“I wanted her to live a normal life and die as a noblewoman. But one day, little by little, that child began to stand out.”

Just as the duke enjoyed testing his vassals, he enjoyed testing his children.

And the Chelsea Gold Fixie successfully completed all of the tests the Duke gave her.

“I thought it was strange at first. No matter how much I thought about it, these were tests that that child couldn’t succeed in with his or her abilities. “She was suspicious, but she couldn’t find any evidence.”

So the Duke gave Chelsea Gold Pixie the title of Archduchess.

He was recognized as the Duke’s own successor.

“I thought it was strange, but… … I never thought I would have received help from warlocks… … .”

The duke let out a long sigh.

“I wish I had just lived within my means.”

The duke drank his drink in silence. Damien stayed by the duke’s side for a long time.

* * *

The Duke emptied three bottles of wine and fell asleep.

Damien called his servants and had them move the duke.

And then I returned to the bedroom.

‘As expected, we couldn’t catch even one person.’

After returning to the bedroom, Damien sat in a chair and was lost in thought.

Although he hid it from the duke, Damian Haxen knew the identity of the warlocks.

Yuran.

That was the identity of the warlocks who joined hands with Chelsea Gold Fixie.

‘Just like the rumors say, they are very thorough guys. They didn’t leave any trace of themselves.’

The duke thought that Chelsea Gold Pixie had committed suicide, but Damian thought differently.

She was killed by a curse.

There is no way to keep the Chelsea Gold Fixie alive in Yuran.

They must have placed a curse in advance to prepare for this kind of situation. As expected, Chelsea Gold Fixie was just Yuran’s chess piece.’

The duke said that Chelsea Gold Pixie had joined hands with warlocks.

But Damian thought differently.

There is no way that dangerous warlocks like Yuran would join hands with Chelsea Gold Pixie.

There must have been another plan.

‘It was probably a plan to devour the dukedom.’

Wasn’t the intention to appoint Chelsea Gold Pixie as the next duke and rule the dukedom from then on?

Whatever the plan, Yuran’s plan was completely foiled by Damian Haxen.

‘He probably didn’t run away.’

If he were a normal warlock, he would have fled to a distant area as soon as his identity was revealed.

However, Damian was confident that Yuran was still staying near the Duke’s house.

‘He’s definitely looking for a chance to kill me nearby.’

Damian Haxen killed Agito, an official of Yuran, and handed over his head to the cult.

As if that wasn’t enough, he destroyed Yuran’s plan going on in the Duke’s house.

In Yuran, they will definitely try to kill Damian.

This wasn’t a guess, it was closer to a certainty.

‘There are no people who are as thorough in their protection as the warlocks.’

Damian spent a long time with Acrich Dorgo.

Thanks to this, I knew well about the species called warlocks.

The warlocks were thorough in their search for silver.

There was no great reason. Warlocks have nothing but enemies everywhere. In order to survive, they had no choice but to band together.

The best way to increase a sense of homogeneity and belonging is to become thorough with your circle of origin.

If you receive a favor, you must repay it.

If you have a grudge, you will definitely take revenge.

That was the basic mindset of warlocks.

‘I’m sorry for keeping it a secret from the duke, but… … There’s nothing we can do to bring them out.’

The reason Damian hid Yuran’s existence was to draw them out.

The more the duke knows nothing, the more loopholes there are. This means that the bait sprinkled in front of Yuran will also increase.

There was another reason that was most important.

‘Disgusting bastards. I will kill them all with my own hands.’

Damian hated warlocks.

As soon as I heard Yu-ran’s name, I was so excited.

It seemed like his honesty would not be resolved unless he was punished directly.

‘Come anytime.’

Damian’s eyes shined as he walked down the dark hallway.

* * *

“shit! shit! Zenjaaaang!”

A dark hallway outside the castle.

A man was swearing while holding a bottle of alcohol.

The man’s name is Ernst Horwitz.

He was a middle-class knight of the dukedom.

In the recent interrogation that swept through the duchy, Ernst Horwitz was only briefly interrogated.

That’s because he didn’t even know that Chelsea Gold Pixie had colluded with warlocks.

But Ernst Horwitz couldn’t be happier about that.

“You stupid bastard! Holy bastard! He should have died on the spot! “You should have protected him!”

This afternoon, Ernst Horwitz received news that Chelsea Goldpixie had died.

At that moment, something inside Ernst Horwitz collapsed.

“Ahh! “Ugh!”

Ernst Horwitz pounded his chest with his fist. Still, his guilt never went away.

“Grand Duchess Chelsea… … .”

Ernst Horwitz sat down on the street and looked up at the night sky.

Suddenly, I remembered the day I first met her.

A bold and confident girl.

That was Ernst Horwitz’s first impression.

I was impressed by her bright appearance and ended up watching her often.

At some point, Ernst Horwitz developed resentful feelings for the Chelsea Gold Fixie.

I came to adore her.

“Ah… … Ugh… … .”

This was when Ernst Horwitz let out a cry of pain.

“Ernst Horwitz, you are here.”

A voice came from the darkness. Ernst Horwitz raised his head.

“Rebecca?”

The woman in front of me was Rebecca, a close friend who served Chelsea Gold Pixie right next to me.

“Yes, four years… … !”

Ernst Horwitz’s eyes became sharp. I unleashed his magic power and blew away all his alcohol.

Rebecca disappeared as soon as Chelsea Gold Pixie was caught.

It meant that he was one of the warlocks who cooperated with Chelsea Gold Fixie.

“Four years… … Because of you, Grand Duchess Chelsea… … “The warlock who stuck with this devil!”

Ernst Horwitz tried to grab her by the neck.

Just before that, Rebecca said.

“Lord Ernst, we seek revenge on the duke.”

Ernst Horwitz’s hand stopped at those words.

“that is… … what are you talking about.”

“You must have heard the news. The Grand Duchess of Chelsea has passed away. “She didn’t reveal a specific cause of death in the Duke’s house, but the cause is obvious.”

Rebecca took a breath and opened her mouth.

“He died while being interrogated.”

Ernst Horwitz’s mouth opened slightly and then closed again.

If Ernst Horwitz knew the duke, it was a very possible story.

He was a man who was willing to give up his own blood relatives for the safety of his family.

“But we cannot avenge Grand Duchess Chelsea alone. “I need Sir Ernst’s help.”

Ernst Horwitz thought for a moment and then said.

“… … “What can I do?”

A smile appeared on Rebecca’s lips.

* * *

After Rebecca’s explanation, Ernst Horwitz disappeared somewhere.

Rebecca was left alone and looked in the direction Ernst Horwitz had left.

“Luckily, it looks like I was able to persuade you well.”

A man walked out of the alley.

This was the man Chelsea Gold Pixie called Mustang Fury.

When dealing with Chelsea Gold Pixie, he stuttered and seemed timid.

However, the Mustang Fury seen now had eyes as cold as frost.

“I didn’t know that the Chelsea Gold Fixie name would work so well.”

“They say love makes a man strong, right?”

Rebecca covered her mouth with the back of her hand and laughed.

“You can be stupid too. “I can’t believe you’re so upset without even knowing who really killed Chelsea Gold Pixie.”

Chelsea Goldpixie did not die during interrogation.

He committed suicide because of the curse placed on him by Yuran.

“Still, Captain, I don’t like it at all. “Do we really need to kill Damian Haxen?”

“So you’re telling me to just wait and see like this? Not only did he kill Agito, but he also hindered our cause.

Mustang Fury said with a frown.

“It was the cause He entrusted to us to bring chaos to the Apple Kingdom after taking control of the dukedom. I was interrupted by that. But how can you endure it?”

Mustang Fury gritted his teeth.

“Damien Haxen and the Duke family do not know our identities. “With this, he can create an opportunity to kill that bastard.”

Mestang Fury’s eyes glowed darkly.

“I must see Damien Haxen begging for his life.”
