Chapter 356 – 356. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family
356. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family
The four people were gathered in the room of King Lapelli, Prime Minister Makellos Helbrit.
It was never a friendly atmosphere.
Two trembled with fear, one resigned himself, and one stood still.
He shifted his gaze to the side of Makelos. Kathryn, her own wife and cousin, holds her bastard, Halios, shivering in tears instead of her usual grim face. Halios was in the same condition as his mother. However, he has already lost his right arm.
Makelos looked straight ahead.
A woman whose hair was the same color as her eyes stood expressionless in front of the bodies of the 20 escort knights piled up like fallen leaves.
Makelos remembers that it took less than 30 seconds for the 20 escort knights to become chilly corpses. The woman in front of her was already a monster with powers beyond common sense.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand. No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t think of a way to survive in this room.
“Is this an order from Baron Prucus?”
Makelos recalled Baron Prucus, who maintained a cheeky attitude in front of him. Back then he thought that at the time he had a back tummy he couldn’t tamper with. He had been trying to figure out the back ship once the banquet was over.
But there was no back stomach. Baron Prucus had intended to kill himself and his family from the beginning.
“… Long ago. The day my mother died I made a deal with the master.”
“Right. Did Baron Pruckus save you? I can guess what the deal is. My neck… No, he must have wanted the destruction of Helbrit.”
“Yes. Instead of avenging my mother with my own hands, I decided to dedicate everything to my master.”
“Your revenge was successful. Congratulations. But why are you hesitating? With your skills, you could kill us in an instant. What do you want from me?”
YuRia looked at Makelos. At first, she wanted to kill her as soon as she saw her. It was hard to endure the rising intent to kill. But now that the end of her revenge was in front of her eyes, she was calm.
“I want information about the nobles following you. More precisely, you want their weakness, which you hold in your hands.”
“…… Do you think you can control them just because you know their weaknesses?”
“Are they better than you who are dying now?”
“…… That’s not it. Okay. I will take control.”
“If you cooperate, I will not torture you. I will kill you by cutting your throat cleanly.”
It was the moment when Makelos was about to tell information about the nobles. Cried the son next to him.
“Father! Are you giving up like this?! I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die!”
“No method. Isn’t that better than being tortured to death?”
Halios gritted his teeth and looked at him. Fear made my body tremble, but I couldn’t lose everything and die like this.
“I know you are my sister. Sorry about your mother’s work. But it’s not too late. You and I are family! Return to your place of origin, to your home, House Helbrit! I will take you as my wife! We rule this kingdom and we can get along, gagging!”
A dagger flew and lodged in Halios’ chest. Straight into the heart. Halios fell to the floor.
“Kyaaaaa Halios!”
Yuria also thrust a dagger into Catherine’s throat as she screamed.
The surroundings became quiet. Markelos took his eyes off the corpses of his family members. He has already accepted his death.
YuRia memorized every piece of information he spit out without missing a single one.
YuRia approached Makelos in front of him and asked.
“Do you regret it?”
“Okay. Will regret. I should have found and killed Nell Rins….”
She raised her dagger. The black aura blade like a thick shadow extends like a long sword.
“… Are you satisfied?”
“Yes. I am satisfied.”
Smiling silently, she swung her dagger without hesitation and decapitated Makelos.
Yuria glanced at Makelos’ head rolling on the floor and closed her eyes for a moment.
“Mother….”
•••
“Aaaaagh!”
Dawn when the sun rises. A soldier standing guard in the palace screamed.
This is because the heads of the Dukes of Helbrit were hung on top of the royal castle.
The next most powerful person after the king was assassinated.
The king, of course, went into an uproar. The nobles could not get out of the capital, and knights and soldiers moved around the capital and proceeded to search for the criminal. As time passed, the tragedy that occurred in the home of Helbrit was also known.
Several conspiracy theories circulated.
Unfounded rumors circulated that a secret assassination team from another kingdom invaded and erased Hellbrit, that an assassination guild pretending to be with the Duke of Hellbrit worked, and so on.
People spit out that maybe there is only one assassin. The rumor, from which it originated, spread quickly. People who like legends and heroes even treated the assassin as a kind of hero and gave him a nickname.
Dark Emperor.
It was the nickname of the worst assassin whose existence is unknown.
•••
“Now I understand what you said earlier. You never thought you would use an assassin to clear the chancellor.”
Marquis Heolis looked at me and said. Although he is speaking as calmly as possible, I intuitively knew he was nervous.
“Why do you think I did it? I said before the banquet that the problem would go away if the chancellor was gone. There’s no way I could kill the chancellor.”
“…… Who is the hired assassin guild? Can you tell me Did the real assassin, Emperor Darkness, assassinate all of the Helbrit dukedom by himself?”
“I didn’t know that His Excellency, the Marquis of Heolis, would believe such nonsense. The Duke of Helbrit was in the royal castle, and it is believed that the disaster that occurred in the main house happened at the same time. What would you do alone?”
“If you use magic to move space….”
“You know that space movement magic is impossible in the royal capital, don’t you?”
“…… Is it really not your fault?”
“If you want to convict me, bring proof. Or do you have proof?”
“… Here’s something I’ve come to know in my life so far. Most criminals talk about evidence.”
“So, do you have any proof?”
“…… There is none.”
Marquis Heolis answered with a sigh.
“Then now that Mr. Prime Minister doesn’t exist, you can collect war supplies with me.”
“… Baron. Ask only one If the number is wrong, will you kill me too?”
“If it’s not an enemy, there’s no need to kill it.”
“…… Was the chancellor an enemy of the baron?”
I laughed.
“Yes. Was the enemy.
•••
I rested my chin on the arm of my chair and looked at the blonde-haired man kneeling in front of me.
It was Prince Aiden who had lost a supporter called the chancellor.
Now that the chancellor is dead. He had two options.
One is to give up the throne and step down. He has to give up all the powers he has enjoyed so far and live like a rat. As long as the chancellor is gone, there will be no nobles to support him, who is a madman.
Another is finding new supporters. Even if not to the level of chancellor, he should have the most power in the kingdom.
‘Even if I seek supporters, I also need the support of other nobles.’
It is impossible to find supporters in a short time.
‘Aiden isn’t a big ass, so he thinks I killed the chancellor. I met Aiden before the chancellor died to make him think that way.’
He who kneels before me will be afraid of me. You would think that I have the power to erase the duchy overnight. At the same time, I would think that only I could make myself a king.
“This is your last chance. Majesty.”
“Know. So isn’t that what you’re asking for? Help me make me king! Baron Pruckus!”
“I don’t think you forgot the condition. Only a few days have passed since that day.”
“Of course. Did not forget On the day I become king, Eileen will gladly offer it to you. I won’t care what you do to Eileen.”
“It’s not just that. Prince.”
“…….”
Aiden was silent.
He rolled his eyes, and finally lowered his head as if resigned. He could not give up his throne or power.
“To you… I will obey.”
I reached out to him. He patted him on the shoulder and smiled brightly.
“Good idea. Prince. I don’t believe in verbal contracts, but I will believe this time. Well, I’m sure you know what happens if you break the contract. I wish you well in the future. Prince.”
“… I get it. I wish you well in the future. Baron.”
•••
The night before leaving the capital.
I took out my smartphone.
A few days ago, when Yuria killed the Duke of Hellbrit and achieved revenge, the expected notification popped up on her smartphone.

Seeing the numerous notification windows that popped up, I asked YuRia before returning to reality.
“I heard you accepted the contract, but who did you sign it with?”
“I don’t know. Voice…. No, that’s what you could call willpower, and suddenly I felt it in my head. I wanted to be with the Master, and a contract was made.”
Yuria knew about me.
That I am a person from another world and that I can play in another world through the play life app. She wasn’t too surprised. It is said that she had guessed from the beginning.
“I was surprised that this world is a world in a creation, but it doesn’t matter to me. The only thing that matters to me is the fact that I can be with you in another world.”
“Thank you for saying that, but…. The reality now is….”
I told Yuria about the situation in reality. In order to overcome the crisis of reality, she needed her help.
Yuria calmly nodded her head.
“It is an unforgivable monster. If you give me an order, I will deal with your enemies.”
[End of play.]
•••
Returning to reality, I was holding my smartphone against the wall.
There was a white monster bleeding blue blood in front of me. His head was split in half, and his brain was visible, but he didn’t seem to feel any pain at all.
“Is that your ability? Nothing happens. I don’t know how he died and came back to life, but I will definitely kill him this time.”
It’s coming slowly to kill me.
[Summon the character. Subject: Yuria Grace]
[Remaining summon duration of Yuria Grace: 30 days]
A blue-silver haired maid appeared in front of me. Black thunderbolts crackled at the dagger she held in her hand.
The white monster was startled and charged in a fighting stance. However, Yuria moved faster than that.
I couldn’t see YuRia’s movements properly. However, it was confirmed that the white monster was electrocuted by the black thunderbolt and could not even resist properly and was cut helplessly.
Only 5 seconds.
It was the time it took for the white monster to turn into hundreds of pieces of meat.
YuRia looked at me from above the blue blood and greeted me.
“I will serve you without change in this world. Master.”
Red blood flowed from YuRia’s mouth.
