Chapter 549 – 549. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family
549. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family
Clap.
The locked door opened and someone entered.
She was Mary in a dress red as blood.
For an instant, her mind became complicated. The door must have been locked, but how did you get in? No, why did Mary come in before that?
“So the two of them had a relationship like that. From before, I had a vague feeling that the relationship between an ordinary butler and owner was not.”
Said Mary calmly.
Fucked.
The relationship was overheard. If this even spreads rumors, the Philtania family will try to kill me.
‘…… No. It doesn’t matter if she dies. I’ll start over anyway.’
I got rid of my panic and regained my cool.
“That is rude. Miss Mary Komotops. What do you want from us after opening the locked door?”
“Under. What do you want? That, of course, is your ruin. Even if I can’t do it, I don’t want to see you guys happy.”
Mary’s eyes shone ferociously. It was to the point where I doubted if she was the one who exuded a bright atmosphere like early summer before.
“Do you have any grudge against us?”
“Ha, there is a certain level of impudence. The fact that Jorsen-nim left and Matisse-nim died. Do you think I don’t know that it’s all your fault?!”
“Did Crown Prince Farrain say that?”
“You know that. You said that it was all the princess’s idea to make Sir Jorsen misunderstand me and investigate Matisse’s back? You are great too. You have very good hair. How can you play with people like that…. An ordinary woman like me can’t even follow the princess’s toes.”
Power was in her hands. One of the ways is to kill Mary here and commit the perfect crime.
“It looks like you heard it strangely from Crown Prince Farrain. It was Crown Prince Farrain who asked me for help first.”
“Prince Farrain has changed because of you. None of this would have happened if you hadn’t done anything. Matisse wouldn’t have died either….”
“Miss Mary. You speak straight. It’s all up to you. If you didn’t attract men in the first place…. No, I wouldn’t have gotten to that point had I chosen one from the start. Crown Prince Farrain changed because he loved you. It’s all your fault.”
“Huh. I’m so stunned that I can’t even speak. Do you think I don’t know that I instigated the crown prince to break off the engagement? I’ll never see you happily in love. Even if I can’t do it, I will separate the princess and Yujin. Just like you did to me.”
“Is Crown Prince Farrain aware of this?”
“Yes. You’ll know when you see that I have the key to this room. Crown Prince Farrein seems satisfied with the ability to lower the influence of the Duke of Filtania.”
In short, Crown Prince Farrain is also involved.
I sighed.
Let’s break Mary’s head here and go back to the beginning of the chapter. Now that I know the masquerade ball is a trap, I don’t want to fall for it again.
YuRia stopped me from moving forward by holding her wrist.
“Miss Komotops. What do you plan to do now?”
“What is it? I need to let you know about this. We should spread the love between her promising Princess Philtania and her butler. Commoners will like it. You don’t have such stimulating gossip.”
Merry laughed at YuRia and turned around to leave. Immediately after her, her escort knights, hidden behind her wall and invisible, follow her. Even the number of escort knights alone exceeded five. They are elite together. It is unbelievable that it is a knight of the viscount’s family.
‘It must be an escort knight assigned by Crown Prince Farrain.’
I don’t know if it’s an assassination. In a head-on fight, there was no chance of victory.
“…… Princess. What should I do? If you want to run away, I’ll prepare right away. If you order me to kill myself, I will kill myself immediately.”
“Eugene. I have no intention of running away. It was something to be known someday. But before that… There is one thing I need to check.”
“Just give me orders. Whatever it is, I’ll check it out.”
I thought it was an order to check the weakness of Crown Prince Farrain.
Yuria stared at me with deep blue eyes. She showed no sign of embarrassment or fright. Even when we are clearly at a disadvantage, she keeps her cool.
“Eugene. Do you love me?”
“Yes. Love it. Lady Gong.”
Yuria reached out her hand to me. She wrapped one arm around her neck and the other around her back. I also hugged her thin waist.
“Eugene. You may suffer a little. Please persevere though. There will be a way. If that doesn’t work….”
“You can endure anything. Instead, please give me one answer. Do you love me, Princess?”
“There was never a time when I didn’t love Eugene.”
Me and her kissed her.
「Chapter 15. Masquerade has been completed.」
「Chapter 16. The impossible love begins.」
「Chapter 16. Unrequited love.
There are many kinds of love in this world. There are obstacles to love, and there are obstacles that are difficult to overcome with the power of love alone. Like the love between a princess and a butler, for example.”
•••
The day after the masquerade, Yuria and I were immediately asked to return to our parents’ home.
The vassals and knights of the main family of Piltania appeared in an instant using magic. The word was a request to return, but in reality it was the same as being taken back to the family home.
I was subdued by the knights, and Yuria was watched by her retainers. We weren’t even allowed to look into each other’s eyes.
While we were being taken to the main house, local residents saw us. They couldn’t curse Yuria, the heir of Piltania, so she whispered and cursed at me.
I used evil magic to seduce the princess.
It was mainly about this.
‘Tsk. If this was my territory, I would have hanged them all.’
Yuria was summoned by the Duchess of Piltania, and I was put in the prison underground, in the deepest part of the castle. It was a dark place with no sunlight. A damp, fishy place. It was not a good place to live.
Handcuffs on my hands and shackles on my feet.
‘Now the torture technician is coming in. Shit. I never thought I would be tortured. I hate being tortured needlessly. Should I proceed automatically? Or just jailbreak? I think I can.’
Maybe 2 hours passed.
The prison door opened and a middle-aged man entered with a torch. The man, who didn’t even manage his beard, glanced at me with dead eyes. He brought a chair and a storage cart containing torture instruments to the prison from outside.
I remember that face. While working as a butler, I had seen her face pass by a few times. But I can’t remember the name. We didn’t have deep conversations because the work we were doing was different.
“I never thought I would see you here. It’s a real world. Don’t you think so?”
“Yes. I agree. What did the Duke tell me to vomit?”
“It is not an interrogation. It’s torture just to give you pain. They told me to make you suffer as much as possible for the sin of forgetting your duty as a butler.”
“It is scary. Where are you going to start?”
“It’s scary. It’s not that kind of look at all.”
He sat down in a chair He was about 3m away from me to sit and torture.
“…… ?”
“Princess Yuria said that. They told me to just pretend to torture them. The setting sun and the rising sun. There is no need to think deeply about which of the two is more important.”
“Can I? If the Duke knew, you would be the one sitting here.”
“I am already in my mid-40s. In five years, I will have to finish this work in my 50s. A torture technician’s old age isn’t great. But if the princess looks after me, she will be able to live an old age worthy of a knight.”
Yuria bribed him. She felt grateful for the consideration and eased her tension a bit.
“Don’t you think that this incident could cause the princess to lose her job?”
“Oh no way. Just because I’m a torture engineer, do you think you don’t know what’s going on in the family of Piltania? Half of the family has already been taken over by the princess.”
The chapter before the academy was mainly about Yuria taking control of her family. In the process, I became her limbs, killing the ones who should be killed and saving the ones who should be saved.
But it’s not enough. I don’t know if she succeeded to her dukedom. The Duchess’ power still remains.
“Even the Duke knows. That there is no successor more suitable for the duke’s position than Princess Yuria. It is certain that Princess Yuria inherits her duchy.”
“The problem is that it could happen after I have been executed.”
Haha. Could it be that the princess would just watch Jung-in being executed? What number would you use Loosen up a bit more than that.”
“Yes?”
“Anything related to the princess. How the hell did you seduce the princess? I won’t tell anyone, so tell me. After all, I am the chief torturer of Piltania. Her mouth is heavier than anyone else’s.”
“Well, if you’re curious, I’ll tell you. If you make fun of your mouth… It will incur the princess’s anger and make her very tired in her old age.”
“After. That’s scary. I need to keep my mouth shut.”
“Can I have some water before then?”
“Water? I will have to say a lot in the future, but of course I have to give it to you.”
He rummaged through a storage cart full of torture instruments.
“Quaaaaagh!”
Someone’s scream came through the open door.
“Oops. I forgot to close the door. It’s next door. Never mind.”
He closed the door
“Looks like my senior. What crime did you commit to come here?”
“He’s a merchant man who supplies food, candles, and cloth. In the process of delivery, I heard that other merchants took money and joked around. He will probably be executed in two weeks.”
He threw a bucket of water at me. He took the water bottle and opened the stopper. It smelled musty. Alcohol, not water, glistened.
“Are you drinking?”
“Lubricating oil that makes the tongue more slippery.”
“It’s too slippery, so I hope you don’t get into an accident.”
I gulped down my drink. I felt my cold body heat up.
“Once upon a time, I met Princess Yuria. You will remember the case of trying to poison her princess.”
“Five. Know. Didn’t Princess Yuria almost die and her retainers were purged? Come to think of it, you were the young butler who was said to have saved the princess.”
“Yes. The young butler was me. You can say that the relationship between me and the princess started at that time.”
I said while adapting the story appropriately. Originally, I wouldn’t have had a conversation like this, but in this boring dungeon, my mouth naturally opened.
It was when the story was over and he left after giving his old cloth to use as a quilt.
“Part of the record can be skipped. Do you want to skip it?」
“I knew this was going to happen. Skip.”
“I skipped the 28th.”
Roughly a month’s time was skipped.
I was still in the dungeon. I expected to get out of the dungeon, but it seems to have failed.
A torture technician came over and explained how things were going.
The Duchess of Piltania and YuRia are at odds, so the castle is said to be on thin ice.
Gongjak pushes forward her new engagement, but Yuria stubbornly refuses. While doing so, it seems to be asking the Duchess to get me out of the dungeon. Of course, there was no way the duchess, who thought of her family above all else, would listen.
In their confrontation, only the eyes of the lower ones were directed to the ground.
‘The problem with this prison is that you don’t know if it’s night or day here. The old man passed away a few hours ago, so it must be nighttime.’
Being stuck in a shady place, I even heard all sorts of strange thoughts.
Clap.
The prison door opened and someone came in. I thought he was an advisor, but he was a completely unexpected person.
A man with a sharp look. He was a copan who had triggered murderous urges in me several times.
“His Excellency the Duke has ordered you to be disposed of.”
A butler who is blindly loyal to the Piltania family approaches me.
“… Do you assassinate with a bundle of keys these days?”
Copan inserted the key into my handcuffs.
