43. Stop eating sweet potatoes
A week has passed since the marriage meeting with Asil Pryden. France and I spent most of our time at Kazar’s house.
I had nothing to do as the products I had made as a business were yet to go out into the world, and there was still a long way to go before the imperial party that Frances had to attend was held.
“So, how to solve this magic formula… ….”
“Oh, that’s it. That’s interesting.”
France sitting at the table studying theory. A smile spread as if Kazar was happy to tell him.
‘Fortunately, I’m glad I had fun.’
In the meantime, all I had to do was watch them nearby. Frances can’t use magic properly yet, so even if she brings me an ancient magic book, it’s useless…….
‘Should I save it for now?’
If you give it to Kazar, it will be meaningful. It would be easy to tell Frances.
Later, when Frances gets accustomed to magic, it might be a good idea to go find the ancient magic book, the hidden piece of this world. Because I had to go find something else anyway.
‘But even if this project is over… ….’
There are a lot of projects that haven’t been done yet. I don’t know when I’ll be going to collect the hidden pieces.
Kazar and Frances, who were studying in the middle of the day, stretched their arms outstretched.
“Let’s get some rest now.”
“Yes. It’s definitely hard because you use your head.”
Kazar collapsed on the desk and exclaimed, “aaa,” Francesca bent her neck to relieve her aching body.
I brewed her tea and brought it to them.
“Thank you.”
Frances quietly savored her scent, and Ka-Zar lifted her head and looked at me with her round eyes.
“Did you know how to make tea?”
“There is nothing I cannot do.”
“Wow, somehow I feel like I lost in every way.”
Are you fighting against me alone? The more I look at him, the funnier he gets. Except for magic, it feels like choosing useless things.
I looked out the window while tidying up the kitchen. The sun was setting. Has the time already been like this?
“Princess. You can go back now.”
“Already? I have an unsolved problem yet.”
Frances looked out of her window. She saw that the sunset was setting and nodded her head.
“Ah, the sun is already setting. I didn’t even know the time was passing.”
“Then I will prepare the wagon right away.”
I opened the door to call the coachman. Khazar waved his hand from behind and said.
“Thank you for cleaning today!”
“… Afterwards, I clean myself.”
Does he know me as a cleaner or something? Anyway. Once out the door, she said to the coachman, who was keeping her eyes closed.
“Prepare to return to the ducal residence.”
“Yes, yes? Yes.”
A coachman waking up shaking his head. I went back inside and called Frances.
“Let’s go now.”
“Yes.”
I took the carriage and returned to the duke’s residence. It wasn’t too far, so we arrived quickly.
By the way…….
“Stop.”
Eden Descartes and the duke’s knights were waiting for us with their weapons finished. What the hell is going on?
“France Descartes. Come this way.”
“What is this?”
“Don’t ask why now, listen first.”
France glanced at me. The situation seemed more serious than I thought, so I nodded. After a moment of hesitation, she listened to Eden and moved to the other side of her.
“Jean Warenberg. Tell me your real purpose.”
For what purpose? Are you talking about the purpose of making France the most powerful person in the empire and the head of the duchy of Descartes? I asked again because I did not know the purpose of the question.
“I don’t know what you are talking about all of a sudden.”
“Jean Warenberg. Did you think I wouldn’t know?”
“So what are you talking about… ….”
Sureung! As Eden drew his sword, the knights around him drew their swords as well. What, why are you like this? It was so embarrassing. Maybe my emotions are clearly showing on my face right now?
“Did you intend to rebuild the Kingdom of Warenberg? Or, did you intend to take revenge on the Empire?”
What is it? So is Seldas, and so is this bastard. Do you want me to rebuild the kingdom? It is unfair.
“I don’t know what your question is about. I am just a slave.”
I told the truth. In the first place, the slave stamp is engraved on the back, so what is it?
But contrary to my wishes, Eden began to be more vigilant.
“France’s movements became strange after you came. Suddenly everything changed. I started a business that I would never step into, and I rejected the long-awaited marriage talk with meticulous planning.”
Eden pointed his sword at me and continued.
From noble mtl dot com
“Aren’t you using Francesco to decorate something? Did you think I would not even notice this much?”
Um. How to get out of this situation Judging by the appearance, I don’t think it will be of any use if I explain. Still, I’d like to try it once.
“I’ll say it again, I don’t have any purpose, and I’ve never used the princess. Also, you should know that I have a powerful slave imprint on my back.”
The slave stamp engraved on me is not an ordinary slave stamp. A slave imprint with the power to suppress a sword master. Unless you are a transcendental magician, it is impossible to carve such an imprint.
Eden said.
“The sword master’s aura is powerful. It’s a mere slave stamp, but if you endure the pain, you can go against it. Aren’t you waiting for the right time?”
What kind of bullsh*t is that? There’s nothing I can go against even enduring the pain. At that time. Frances came to my side and explained on my behalf.
“So Duke! Jin has never disobeyed the imprint’s orders! Everything that has happened so far has been my initiative and my choice! Please take the sword away!”
Eden pushed Frances aside with her shadowy face.
“Stay still for now. He’s instigating you and looking for the right time.”
Oh, you’ve just confirmed that I’m behind the scenes. In a serious mood, Frances, who was next to me, looked at me with a confused look on her lips. His face was full of worry.
‘I can’t help it.’
I surrendered to my senses and let out the aura. Whoo Woo-wook… ! The blood is hot and is spinning vigorously.
“I will prove my innocence with this. Please listen to me.”
Blue flames embraced my body. The air around them calmed down and the atmosphere became chilly.
“Cow, cow duke! That bastard has revealed his true colors!”
“Everyone prepare for battle!”
“Aura user! It is impossible to fight alone!”
“Jean Warenberg is a knight who was the pinnacle of the kingdom! Concentrate!”
The knights panicked as a group. His face went pale and his hands trembled. Eden quietly opened her eyes and just looked at me.
“Jean Warenberg. Judging by the fact that you bared your teeth at us, we will execute you here.”
Woe! A dark red aura wrapped around Eden’s body. Did he even know how to use Aurors? Well, it doesn’t matter. I didn’t spill the aura with the intention of fighting.
And not all sword masters are equal. If you only know how to use your aura, it’s called the level of a sword master.
Sword Master’s abilities are very different. Their senses, strength, and aura usage are all different. I will not be hurt by Eden here.
‘This is the reason why the duke and the duke didn’t hear me whispering.’
First of all, we need to clear up the immediate misunderstanding. I shouted with my arms raised to show that I had no will to fight.
“I have no intention of rebelling! Please hear me out!”
“Are you going to say it with the aura active?”
“Please listen to me. The reason I activated the aura is not different… !”
Wedge juice! Eden momentarily reached before me. He wields a sword The five senses rise and the pupils are activated. The sword looked good to the eye. An attack obviously aimed at the neck. I reflexively bowed my back.
Hooung! A formidable wind pressure developed and the sword passed over my head. I shouted at the excited Eden.
“I have no intention of fighting!”
“Shut up.”
Eden continued to swing his sword. Perhaps because of the overwhelming difference between me and Eden, there was no problem with me avoiding it.
“Please take away the sword first! I have something to tell you!”
“I have nothing to say with the enemy of the Empire, the enemy of the Duke of Cartesian.”
You bastard, please listen to me. I knew he was a madman from the time he harassed Frances, but I didn’t expect him to be this iron rice cooker.
My defense continued. It was best to avoid it. If you even pull out the sword, then there’s really no turning back. In the end, I have to hope that this iron rice cooker will listen to me.
‘It doesn’t look like he had any intention of doing so.’
How about this…….
I don’t think to stop the blade rushing towards my body. He rolled his eyes nonstop and followed the path of the sword. He bent his back and twisted his body.
“So my story… !”
“Shut up!”
Ah, you bastard!
What should I do with this bastard who gives me a whole truck that looks like a mountain of sweet potatoes? I’m going crazy
At that moment.
“Stop!”
France jumped forward fearlessly and blocked my way. Fortunately, the blade stopped right in front of Frances neck. Even so, it was slightly cut, and blood gushed out.
“Back off. Do you know what you’re doing Do you want to be punished as a traitor like Jean Warenberg?”
That baby has a knife in his brother’s neck.
“Duke So. Calm down first.”
“I said Vicky.”
As if Frances noticed that the conversation wasn’t working, she shook her head and took out a slave restraint.
“I will activate the imprint. According to the auctioneer, it is a powerful imprint that is different from other imprints. Even a sword master will not be able to bear the pain of this imprint.”
France activated the slave restraints. Chiiik- My back is getting hotter. It soon turned into a burning pain. It was as if the iron in the furnace was tearing my body apart. This was also not enough, so perhaps it was the effect of the imprint, but the body did not move as if it was paralyzed.
“Quaaah… !”
I was originally going to show you this, but it really hurts! You’re going to disobey an order until you endure this kind of pain? Never do it
“Turn it off… ….”
I fell to the floor and groaned. After confirming this, Eden lowered his sword. Said Frances.
“Look. I couldn’t resist the imprint even when I used an aura that was so intense that I felt it. Isn’t that enough to prove it? From the beginning, Jin must have used the aura to show this.”
Yeah, that’s right. You figured out my intentions that we had been together for a while. I’m impressed…….
“And now let me be clear. Everything I’ve done so far has been led by me, and I’ve chosen it. Jin has nothing to do with it!”
France’s defense. Eden opened her eyes shallowly and stared at her face.
“… ….”
After being silent for a while, Eden looked at me and asked.
“… Where did you get the slave stamp from?”
“I got it when I was first captured as an empire… ….”
“Who carved the seal? Do you remember?”
Uh. I don’t know her name because the devil’s grandmother is rarely mentioned in the game. She just knows that she’s the greatest wizard ever.
“I never heard her name… She was a stooped old man, known as a transcendental magician, and characterized by a giggling voice… ….”
Eden frowned at her and clicked her tongue.
“… Transcendent Wizard. It must have been engraved by that obnoxious old man.”
She then put her sword into her scabbard.
“Everyone put your sword in. She’s a guy who can be in control. It’s the imprint of a Transcendental Wizard, so even if it had a purpose, it wouldn’t be meaningless.”
The knights put their swords in bewilderment at the words of Eden. Everyone is staring at them and unable to open their mouths. I wanted the incident to end like that, but one of the articles shouted.
“I think that bastard should be executed here! Didn’t you emit an aura against Duke So!”
He was none other than the knight I beat when I first came to this ducal residence. He was a man with a strong back.
“Are you against my decision now?”
Eden’s cold eyes killed the spirits of the knights. No one could speak at this place.
“He will live a life of slavery for the rest of his life as punishment. To disperse.”
Eden shows his back as if his work is over. Crackle, crackle. Every time he walked, his armor cried ferociously.
‘You armed yourself once. It would be useless.’
Even if all the knights of the duke’s house rush at me, I won’t lose. It was because he got used to using power as he inherited Jin’s memories.
As Eden completely left and his knights dispersed, Frances stroked my cheek.
“I’m sorry, did you have a lot of pain?”
“No. More than that, the princess’ wounds…….”
A scratch on France’s neck. Fortunately, the bleeding stopped, but I’m worried about scarring.
“This can be treated quickly. Don’t worry.”
“… Yes.”
“Let’s go in.”
France enters the mansion. I walked after her.
“… ….”
Is it because of the scar on France’s neck? My heart, which had not been shaken even when my whole body felt like it was on fire or when I was subjected to all sorts of insults, became cold.
‘… Something is bubbling.’
I can’t stand my anger as much as it is strange. This anger soon turned to hatred. Convulsions broke out in his face, and his arms wriggled.
‘I need to revise my plans a bit… ….’
In the direction of confining Eden someday.
This must be a petty vengeance I did on my own.
