Chapter 656 – 656. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family
656. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family
I smiled lightly and put her arm around her shoulder and brought her face closer. I could hear her breathing.
“Yuria. Are you mad?”
“… I….”
Yuria opened her mouth. Her hesitation was felt. She never lies to me, even about the smallest things.
“… Yes. I’m angry. I was angry with myself for not being able to protect my master.”
It was force majeure. I couldn’t help it. These words were rather her disrespect for her. Even if I don’t say anything, she herself is reflecting.
I grabbed her cheek and chin and fixed her YuRia with her hand around her shoulder.
“Show me your angry face.”
“… Yes?”
YuRia was slightly taken aback. However, she soon calmed down her embarrassment and made an angry expression as I demanded. Blue eyes with narrowed eyebrows and strong power. And her plump pink lips. It was a frowning expression.
YuRia and my face are getting closer and closer. She said it was Ploy who stopped me from kissing her.
“My lord. Now is not the time! Look at the condition of the master’s body! The master is now cursed. The white leaves should be used on the lord!”
“What are you talking about. Ploy. Aren’t I cursed?”
” Bullshit. Just looking at the master’s skin right now… Well?!”
Ploy widened his only eye. It was because the symptoms of the curse had disappeared from my body like a lie. The body did not tremble, and the blue dot disappeared. My complexion is as obvious as you can see. You will look refreshed as if you just woke up.
“Hmm, I’m fine. Did I look at it wrong… ? It couldn’t have been….”
“I will explain later. Let’s go back I also learned that the identity of the curse is a demon….”
As they took turns, they told Gerdin and Berol to forget what they saw today. I didn’t know what variables would arise if rumors about the devil spread.
On the way back, the guy reappeared. It flutters its black robes in the sky and lets out a grim laugh.
“Khehehehe.”
Yuria used her magic. Four blue magic circles surround his body. Yuria seemed to have the purpose of restraining the devil. However, the demon passed through her magic circle and flew towards Yuria. Maybe she was aiming for me right next to YuRia.
“Stupid!”
A shadow rose from the ground like hot spring water, grabbed the demon, and fell to the ground. The demon turned into smoke and disappeared. As if Yuria didn’t like her, she glared at the place where the demon had been and said,
“…… Not a body. It seems to temporarily embody a curse.”
“Can you track it down?”
“Insufficient information. It is impossible to track right now.”
“That’s it.”
It’s a bit annoying, but I didn’t want to wander the Harlen Mountains to catch a demon. She wanted to quickly go back to the inn and play naked with Yuria and other maids.
But the devil’s curse appeared again.
“Uhhhhh.”
Yuria tried to hold on to the curse, but she failed. Her physical attacks didn’t work at all, and it was best to crush them with the high mass of her magic.
“It’s an annoying curse.”
Yuria was rarely annoyed. It seemed that there was an unresolved anger in her heart. I lightly kissed her to relieve her anger.
“Yes….”
YuRia’s mood was relaxed.
Even after that, we returned to the city after receiving several curse attacks. There were no more curse attacks.
“No matter how you think about it, it’s strange. Why did the curse target me?”
“The curse was not aimed at the master.”
“…… Ah.”
I looked at Gerdin. Upon receiving my gaze, he was startled and jumped out of place.
“It was aimed at you, not me.”
“Me, you mean me?!”
“Your father and Viscount Nelloman are cursed. Don’t you feel strange?”
“…… They are all my allies.”
“As you said before, it is highly likely that your sister has put a curse on you.”
“The curse was said to be the power of the devil… Could it be that my sister made a pact with the devil?!”
“Maybe. Or your sister’s subordinates made a pact with the devil.”
“Crazy bitch….”
Gerdin trembled with fear.
We arrived at Viscount Nelloman’s mansion.
The butler ground the white leaves and put them in Viscount Nelloman’s mouth. The curse that plagued Viscount Nelloman disappears. Nelloman’s complexion improves. The chills stopped and the blue spots that filled her skin disappeared.
Nelloman, who jumped up from the hospital bed, hugged Gerdin’s body.
“Jerdin! Oh oh! My brother! Thank you! Gerdin! If it wasn’t for you I… !”
“Neloman! I just did what I was supposed to do as brothers!”
They showed off their brotherhood. It was a toe-inducing scene. On the subject of being cousins, not even real siblings.
“Neloman! I need your help. Heathfield Gate is now ruled by Diona! Heathfield’s vassals are being swayed by Diona! My father and you were cursed because of Diona. It’s Diona’s plot to get rid of me, to drive me out of the Heathfield family! Nelloman! If you support me, if you head to Heathfield with me, we can make things right again!”
Gerdin gave an impassioned speech. It was all prepared. I personally heard him memorize those words before he came here.
Nelloman, who was waiting for the day he would die from being cursed, gnashed his teeth.
“Of course I support you! Diona! I knew you were a sinister woman from before! Gerdin. I’ll help you!”
Gerdin was his cousin and lifesaver. Only Nelloo could gain many benefits when Gerdin became the head of Heathfield.
Their interests were instantly aligned.
Nelloman led his knights and soldiers to the Heathfield Gate with Gerdin.
And for four days, they walked nonstop, going around the Harlen Mountains and arriving at the Heathfield Gate.
Behind the Heathfield Gate. Gerdin shouted loudly in front of the castle gate.
“I am Gerdin Heathfield! He is the enemy of the Heathfield family! I have returned to my family! Open the door and open the way! I will be the first to meet my father!”
Admiration came out at Gerdin’s bravado. If this guy doesn’t have any fear, he’ll be a great swindler.
Soldiers and knights standing at the gate moved busily.
Gerdin was the eldest son of the Heathfield family. As he said, it was redemption. Zerdin might have been suspicious if he had come alone, but he came with Viscount Nello Orman and his men.
The gates were opened.
Gerdin proudly took the lead and walked to the castle in the center of the fortress.
The people came out to watch Gerdin’s return, but the atmosphere was strange. Some welcomed Gerdin, and some hated Gerdin. And behind Gerdin, they whispered among themselves.
I used mana to enhance my hearing and overhear the gossips of the people.
“Prince Gerdine is back. Were the rumors that he abandoned his soldiers and defected to the Kingdom of Rapelli were false?”
“Earl Heathfield is in critical condition, so why did he come only now?”
“Honestly, I want Diona-nim to lead the territory, not Gerdin-nim. Lady Diona is wise, beautiful, and knows how to give.”
“Don’t forget that Gerdin-nim is the eldest son. And the likes of us shouldn’t make fun of it.”
Diona seemed to have played a trick. But even so, most of the territories were convinced that Gerdin would become the lord. One reason. Because Gerdin is the eldest son.
Knights and soldiers were lined up in front of the castle. And in the center was a woman in a blue dress.
She has long purple hair and red eyes like Gerdin. She has fair skin and distinct features. She was said to be beautiful. Her breasts are D-cup and her waist is slim. Her buttocks were hidden by the skirt of her dress, so I couldn’t see it.
“You are back. Brother.”
His voice was calm and graceful. A splendid blue dress adorned with jewels suited her very well.
Gerdine trembled. He straightened his back and put on a cold expression, conscious of the vassals around him.
“Something happened. I will tell you the details later.”
I couldn’t criticize Diona here. And even after that, Diona can’t be officially brought down. Evidence is needed to prove the sin of flesh and blood, but there was no material evidence.
“First is my father. I want to see my father.”
“Brother. My father is in critical condition. The therapist told me not to listen to people.”
“I am my father’s son. And is it true that my father is really ill?”
“Healers and wizards said it was a disease.”
“Incompetent bastards….”
As Gerdin said, it was too soon to be sure whether he was really incompetent. Diona is most likely controlling them.
“My father was cursed.”
“Curse?!”
“A curse?!”
“Jerdin! What do you mean?!”
The vassals were astonished. The surroundings became cluttered.
“Only Nello’s suffered the same symptoms as my father, and I have a way to get rid of the curse. More details will be told later. Hansi is an urgent matter. Guide the Father.”
“Your brother is right. Above all, the father is important. My brother is sick of my father… No, if I can get rid of the curse, there’s nothing more enjoyable than that. I will personally guide my older brother, so everyone wait here.”
Gerdin made a frown. It is because of the attitude of the vassals. The retainers did not reject Diona’s words and followed them. You won’t like that.
“However, brother. What about the merchants behind you?”
“They are merchants at the top of Korea. Thanks to their help, Nelloman was also able to escape the curse. They are the benefactors of my father, and they are the ones I can trust.”
“Hmm. Okay.”
Diona took one look at us, then turned around and led her into Count Heathfield’s bedroom.
Earl Heathfield’s condition was serious. His skin had turned black, and the size and quantity of blue spots were numerous. He closes his eyes and shakes his body. His eyelids were tightly closed, as if he was in a coma.
A middle-aged healer sat beside the bed, nursing Earl Heathfield. As soon as she saw us, she got up from her seat.
“To make my father look like this… !”
Gerdin glared at Diona as if to kill him.
“Your brother speaks as if I cursed my father.”
“An abomination. Do you think I don’t know what you did?!”
“Someone seems to have said something strange to my brother. I can’t curse my father.”
“You will definitely pay for your sins… !”
Zerdin growled at Diona and pulled a small bottle from her arms. It contained powder prepared by grinding her white leaves. He tipped the bottle and fed it to Earl Heathfield.
Earl Heathfield’s condition improves. However, he did not completely disappear like Nello Orman. His black skin has returned to human skin, but the blue spots are still there.
“Why, why… ?!”
Nelloman held the bewildered Gerdin by the shoulder and said calmly.
“Calm down, Gerdin. It had an effect. If you have more leaves of Elst, you will be able to completely shake off the curse.”
“That, yes. Father’s condition has improved, so there is time.”
I clicked my tongue.
This makes things cumbersome. The original plan was to use Earl Heathfield, who was freed from the curse, to solidify the position of Gerdin’s successor. Earl Heathfield’s words will destroy all of Diona’s tricks. Diona will either be executed or exiled.
‘And I’m stealing Diona. It was supposed to be arranged with Zerdin to make Diona run away, and I would take Diona to her mansion, eat her, and teach her….’
In this case, other means must be used. It might be better to forcefully kidnap Yuria. As for the follow-up, Gerdin told me to take care of it.
‘Uh?’
I met Diona’s red eyes. Diona raises the corner of her mouth slightly. As if she knew my identity and intentions.
“Your brother said it was true…. But it seems that my father is still not free from the curse. Father needs stability. Let’s go first, brother. Go out and tell me what you’ve been through.”
“It’s great….”
Gerdin gritted his teeth and went out of the bedroom.
