Episode 344: A country that has lost its romance (2)
30 minutes ago.
Billy went to see Roman Dmitry.
It was to set an appointment date according to Count Bragan’s orders, but it ran into difficulties from the start.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t meet you right now.”
It was Hans.
In a situation where the meeting itself was not allowed in the first place, Billy requested earnestly in the most polite voice possible.
“I know that Roman Dmitry is busy. However, Count Bragan has come to represent the Valhalla Empire, and he cannot wait forever. This doesn’t mean I’m asking you to take your time right now. One day is one day, two days is two days. Even if it takes longer than that, if you just tell me the date of your promise to meet me, I will return without a word and convey that fact to Count Bragan.”
“It’s impossible. Mr. Master did not allow anyone to enter until his personal schedule was completed.”
“but… … .”
A series of rejections.
Billy’s expression distorted.
Although he was trying to be polite and follow his orders, the servant’s attitude really annoyed him.
“Don’t just say sorry over and over again. Still, I think I can convey Count Bragan’s intentions.”
There was a thorn in the horse.
The other person is just a servant.
Aside from Count Bragan, he was not in a position to open his eyes and speak clearly like that, even to himself, a knight.
It gave off a slightly threatening vibe.
Since Count Bragan had ordered him to carry out his goal by any means necessary, Billy could not simply retreat like this.
Hans said.
“Knight. No matter how many times you ask, the situation will not change. This meeting was not originally planned. “It’s not that I don’t understand your impatience, but it is very difficult to force a unilateral promise.”
“This bastard is real.”
sudden.
My hand went up without realizing it.
I got cocky.
If a servant in Valhalla had treated him like this, I bet he would have cut off his head with a single sword.
It was then.
“Put those hands down.”
Right next to you.
A cold voice was heard.
When Billy unconsciously turned his head, a man with a face he had never seen before was looking at him.
* * *
At first, I didn’t recognize Kevin’s face.
Dmitry’s demon.
His reputation was great in Valhalla, but even his appearance was not known in detail.
Hans’ eyes turned to Kevin.
“Hey Kevin. I am okay.”
‘Kevin?’
Billy’s eyes widened.
He looked at Hans and Kevin alternately, and realized that the mysterious man was Dmitry’s demon that he had heard about.
I laughed awkwardly for a moment.
I thought that the way he was about to hit Hans could make the situation worse.
“Hahaha, don’t misunderstand. I came to see Roman Dmitri… … .”
“Stop talking nonsense. “What are you, trying to hit Mr. Hans in Dmitry’s territory?”
It was a bloody voice.
the problem is.
It is said that Kevin’s remarks touched Billy’s pride.
That’s not to say that his actions were good, but the other person wasn’t a great person and was only a servant.
“That doesn’t sound the same. “Aren’t you saying too much?”
“I definitely would have told you to explain your actions.”
“Don’t speak to me as if you’re commanding me. I am not Dmitri, but a knight of the Valhalla Empire. “There is no reason for me to treat you like this, and even if I did mess with a servant, what would you do?”
Count Bragan said:
Show me the location of Valhalla.
As Billy came out strong, Kevin came right in front of him and looked up from below at Billy, who was taller than him.
“Say it again. what?”
“f*ck, it’s so varied. Are you all Dmitry’s demon? I, the knight, didn’t hit him, so why are you making such a fuss because I raised my hand against a servant? Even if you hadn’t ignored us in the first place… … evil!”
Wow!
My head turned.
Billy, who realized that he had been hit in the face by a strong shock, could not hold back the anger that was boiling for a moment and pulled out his sword.
“How dare you slap me?!”
Kwarung.
Crumbling.
It created an aura.
I drew my sword like lightning and tried to subdue Kevin without thinking about what happened next.
however.
hook.
Avoided the attack.
Instead of pulling out his sword in the same manner, Kevin let go of the attack with a light movement and struck Billy in the face again.

Blood splattered from my face.
Billy, stained with embarrassment, tried to hastily counterattack, but when he swung his sword, his head always turned away.
Shocks exploded in succession.
The intense anger disappeared in an instant, and when I came to my senses, I was on my knees and holding my hair.
Sigh.
Crack, clap.
I kept hitting my cheek.
Billy tried to stop the attack with his pathetic hands, but the vicious hands grabbed his hair and wouldn’t let go.
Billy’s actions.
The mere thought of using violence against Dmitry was infuriating.
Moreover, the opponent was Hans.
Who is Hans?
Aside from the fact that he was a person Roman Dmitry truly cared about, Hans was also a very special person to Kevin.
When I first moved around the slums.
Kevin, who followed Roman Dmitry into the castle, was cared for by Hans.
I could never forget the grace I received back then.
Although his social status has now risen and he is now in a position to command servants, he never loses his gratitude whenever he meets Hans.
Whereby.
In Dmitry, no one could touch Hans.
Since he was an important person to Roman Dmitry and Kevin, the status of the servant was not important at all.
Such a being.
It was a situation where I almost got hit by an outsider.
When they dragged him by his hair and slapped him several times, Billy struggled to open his mouth with his face covered in blood.
“… … you … … Come on, can you handle it? … … “I am a knight of Valhalla.”
As he said.
Billy is not an ordinary knight.
A knight of Valhalla who serves Count Bragan.
Because he had the stature of the empire on his back, he expressed his anger even when faced with Dmitry’s evil spirit.
He grinned.
Thinking that his threat had worked, he spoke again.
“… … “You’re in big trouble.”
Stand tall.
Action stopped.
Looking at Billy while holding his hair, Kevin showed a strange expression.
“Shall I tell you a funny story?”
“… … “You crazy bastard.”
“When I didn’t know anything about the world yet, I attended Barco’s party with my lord. At that time, I didn’t respond in any way even when I heard the guys insulting Dmitry. that day. My lord turned those guys into blood clots instead of me. And he told me “From now on, develop the insight to judge others.”
closely.
I grabbed my head strongly.
When the other person complained of pain, Kevin laughed cruelly.
The figure reminded me of Roman Dmitry.
“By my current standards, you are someone I can mess with.”
In those words.
Billy’s expression turned pale.
Only then did he realize that something was wrong.
* * *
“… … “This is what happened.”
Billy finished his explanation with difficulty.
A series of situations.
As Count Bragan, he could not help but be angry.
It is wrong to try to use violence in someone else’s territory, but isn’t Billy still a knight of Valhalla?
“Dmitry, you damn bastards.”
I crossed the line.
Either Hans or Kevin.
They did not treat Valhalla one bit.
Hans was unable to set an appointment date, so he spoke clearly, and Kevin used indiscriminate violence despite knowing that he belonged to Valhalla.
My stomach was boiling.
I felt like I wanted to go to Roman Dmitry right away and beat them up by pointing out their mistakes.
but.
I couldn’t do that.
Did they say that a thirsty person digs a well?
For the relationship with Roman Dmitry to end in catastrophe, the Valhalla imperial family had a lot to wish for from him.
dump.
“Roman Dmitry. “He had a childish side.”
I sat down on the sofa.
Hans and Kevin’s actions.
It must have been Roman Dmitry’s order.
There was a high probability that Roman Dmitry, who had a bad relationship with the Valhalla imperial family, ordered it to be done for personal revenge.
It was just as rumored.
Roman Dmitry was said to be a very radical person, but I had no idea that even the Valhalla Empire would be provoked like this in a situation where the Kronos Empire was hostile.
“… … “I’ll just bear with you this one time.”
I suppressed my anger.
Just once.
I felt like we had to meet somehow.
When you meet him, he will tell you what will happen if you continue your relationship with the Valhalla Empire like this.
“Let’s see if you show the same attitude then as now.”
I gritted my teeth.
Revenge begins with patience.
Count Bragan’s eyes turned cold.
He lay down on the sofa and began to imagine what it would be like to meet Roman Dmitry.
* * *
That time.
Roman Dmitry was conducting a video conference with the kings of the three southern kingdoms of Kronos through a magic communication device.
Beyond the screen.
King Umberto said.
[It is no longer possible to accept refugees from Odelia. Because of them, incidents big and small are constantly happening in the border area, and the problem is that even if they are punished, the fundamental problem cannot be solved. Refugees who commit serious crimes immediately flee to the lawless areas of Odelia. Since there is no government to take responsibility and punish their actions, the lawless zone is essentially a land of impunity for criminals.]
[you’re right. There are also increasing cases of Frankish criminals crossing the Odelia border the moment they are wanted.]
Odelia’s destruction.
That created an unexpected problem.
The lords of Odelia, who had lost their royal family, only thought about their own safety, and a lawless zone was formed outside the domains, which were divided into dozens.
It was a total mess.
The people who settled in the ruined capital committed crimes to survive, but the lords of Odelia had no intention of punishing them.
It was extreme egoism.
No one in Odelia was just waiting for someone to resolve the confusing situation rather than correct it.
In the meantime, Odelia was neglected.
Because of the thought that the war with Kronos might start again when exactly, they could not disperse their troops in Odelia.
Kronos sent a clear warning by blowing up Odelia’s capital.
Even if the truce was accepted, the same thing could happen if the existence of the Kronos Empire was overlooked.
And now.
Roman Dmitry said.
“I think the same thing. I can no longer stand by and ignore Odelia. Odelia’s situation has been put on the back burner due to complex issues, but now is the time to sort things out. In order to prepare for the war with Kronos, Odelia, located in the southwest, must be stabilized. “If their presence remains an element of strife, it will inevitably have a negative impact on the Southern Three Kingdoms.”
Southern Three Kingdoms.
Odelia was in the last line of them.
It was a matter of timing, and something they had to solve somehow.
King Redford asked.
[Are you okay? The process of organizing Odelia will not be easy. Clearing up lawless areas is a problem, but the biggest problem is presenting a system that the existing powers can understand.]
“Now is the time. It cannot be resolved unless Kronos has taken a step back with a truce and Valhalla is engulfed in civil war. And we have no reason to care about those in power in Odelia. Even if the royal family they followed was destroyed, it does not change the fact that Odelia joined Kronos’ side.”
This.
It was a war with a different meaning.
Rather than creating an environment for Odelia, there was a need to properly merge them.
“I will send some of Dmitry’s troops. In this matter, the priority is to eliminate the elements of instability in the rear. “If people in lawless areas and those in power oppose it, it is safe to classify them as enemies.”
[All right.]
[I will handle it that way.]
The video conference has ended.
Odelia’s problem.
It was a matter for the three southern kingdoms to take the lead in handling.
Roman Dmitry only proposed the dispatch of troops and guidance, but he planned to take a step back and focus on the problems of Valhalla.
A week has passed since then.
After carrying out the plan in his head to some extent, Roman Dmitry called Hans and gave him orders.
“Hans. “Call Count Bragan.”
“All right.”
Count Bragan.
Finally, the moment he had been waiting for came.
