Chapter 215 – Monmus Family: Elf Princess Trouble (5)
The air on the plains had never been as bloody as today. The sound of horses hooves overturning the dry grass lingered in the air. The horses who had not been able to complete the entertainment because they could not run on the plain snorted and made a fuss. The skilled riders handed over hay and carrots and looked at the knight commander’s barracks.
“Ahhhhh… ! Sorry. Father! Because I, I made a mistake in educating my children… I see such ugliness! Uhhhhh… ! Nope… I’m sorry… ! Uh… !”
The sound of music echoed through the knights’ barracks. No one opened their mouths in front of this devastation.
The scene before their eyes was just as tragic. Today was the day the soldiers had to charge in order to subdue the original Love Church. Soldiers awaiting orders to charge lined up in squares and waited for orders from the knight commander. In front of the faces of the soldiers, there were knights who could not overcome their regret and were biting their lips.
In front of them was an old mat. On the mat sat Lyoneal James on his lap. Lionel James had stopped eating and drinking for several days and had been staring at the barracks where Lionel Albus was with a thin face. His face was covered with skin and bones, but his eyes were shining like stars with a strong will.
“Father… Why, why did you leave me first? Big… Cuckoo… I, I’m not ready for this world… My son’s daughter-in-law is a prisoner! Sigh… Sigh…!”
Knight Commander Lionel Albus was crying profusely, ignoring Lionel James ‘gaze his. His cry was like that of a beast, and it terrified the soldiers gathered here. The chivalry, who had traveled through many battlefields and heard people screaming, and the horses who saw people being cut into pieces in front of their eyes shuddered and ran wild, expressing anxiety at Albus’ cries.
“Father. Please allow me to marry you!”
Lionel James’ voice once again crossed the barracks. Once, when James’ voice rang out, Albus glanced out of the barracks, saw James and the prisoner hugging him tightly, and fell to the floor with his eyes closed again. In his hands his, the great head of the Lionel family and the father of Lionel Albus. There was a portrait of Lionel Wigden.
I could not hide my nervousness as I watched all this scene from close range. The commander of the knights should start the operation toward the plains to leave safely, but the commander of the knights went out of his mind after witnessing James’ abnormal sexual desire, so he was unable to issue a sortie order.
As soon as the knight commander collapsed, the knights came rushing in and shook him up again. They also reside James and worry about the knight commander. And he didn’t know what to do with his nervousness about the operation. Everyone here did.
The knight commander, who opened his eyes again, regained his consciousness and looked around. He stared out of the barracks as if he firmly believed that the situation he was in was a nightmare or a fantasy. There James was still sitting on his lap. Beside him, Mila was hugging him tightly with a worried look on her face.
“Aaaaa!!!”
Knight Commander Albus screamed again. Before he could hug his father’s portrait and weep, another knight secretly hid it behind his desk. His hand came to me as he was trying to find a place to share his sorrow.
I held the knight commander’s hand tightly and spoke in a soft voice.
“Knight Commander.”
The knight commander put his head on my lap where I was sitting and put his face on his face his and started to cry. Feeling the knees of the priest’s uniform getting wet, I had to manage my expression of his.
“Uhhh… Priestess… ! How…! How did you make my son like that! What is my son guilty of… ! What did my son do wrong to continue such a cursed relationship!!”
“I don’t know why James is doing that. By the way, how can you say that the love between a beastman and a human is cursed? And, is that problem big enough to neglect the responsibilities of the Knight Commander? Knight Commander. Now is the time to do your duty as a soldier. You must quickly remove the members of the Sarang Cult and establish justice.”
“Uhhhhh… That’s right… The priest is right… However… ! But as a father, how can you not resist seeing that face? How can I be sober and allow this marriage? After I die, what excuse should I make to my ancestors?”
“This is the path you have chosen. That’s why you have to support him as a father. Lionel James overcame the prejudice and discrimination between beastmen and humans and fell in love with the beastman. Didn’t the knight commander also tell you? There is a prejudice against males. When I met them in person, they weren’t as savage as I thought.”
“But isn’t this different! Gosh… Uhhh… Hehe… ! Damn James!”
The knight commander’s gaze returned to James. James trembled slightly at the lion’s eyes, but soon overcame Albus’ anger with a determined cry.
“Father! Please allow me to marry you!”
“Matilda! What did Matilda think she would do!”
“I only have Mila!”
If lightning strikes a person’s face, wouldn’t it appear like that? Knight Commander Albus’ face was stained with astonishment.
“Are you saying that is a human word? Aaaaa! Aaaaagh! Hello! Right now…! Right now!!! I!! I!! Billion… 100 million… !”
The enraged knight leader grabbed him by the back of his neck and passed out again. When will this endless hell where fainting and rage repeat? I looked away. I couldn’t just finish the case here and go. I found the vice-captain and called him.
He was leading the troops in place of the half-mad leader. He was trying hard to stop the evil rumors spreading inside the troops, but there was no way to avoid the evil rumors about the Lyonill family, unless he couldn’t help James crying out for permission to marry in front of the barracks hugging his prisoner . When I met the vice-captain, he clearly looked tired.
Even though the troops had not yet departed, he was exhausted like a soldier who had just completed a thousand-mile march. I said patting him on the shoulder.
“Vice-captain. I’ll try to convince the knight commander. Vice-captain, please convince James.”
“What do you mean? The soldiers dare not touch me because I am the son of the knight commander. Since the commander of the knights, who should have given orders, is lying there without even saying anything to bring him out, no one can take action.”
“Roughly, say that if you achieve great achievements in the subjugation of the Sarang Cult, you will ‘consider’ marriage. I’m still young, so I’ll get past that. In the meantime, I will try to convince the knight commander.”
“I don’t know if it will turn out well, but I’ll get it right away. The mission comes first.”
I shook the knight commander and woke him up. He still couldn’t come to his senses. The Knight Commander rose again and struggled with his hands to find the portrait of his ancestor. I said holding his hand.
“Calm down. Knight Commander. You must prepare for battle.”
“Priest… I am afraid to accept this reality.”
“If it is difficult to accept, you must break through head-on like a knight. Knight Commander. If you’re ashamed of marrying a beastman, just make sure no one points a finger at you about it.”
“What are you talking about?”
The knight commander’s face was distorted. I spoke.
“I’m putting a condition on Lionel James. Make a very large achievement worthy of the name of the Lionel family as a condition, and say that the marriage will be granted only when the condition is fulfilled. If Lionel James becomes a knight worthy of his name, no one will take issue with marrying a prisoner;
“…Even that is difficult with my pride.”
“Knight Commander. Are you thinking of messing things up because of your personal affairs ahead of the big day in the country? What’s important now? Is it a matter of Lionel James marrying Suyin? Is it the problem of the Sarang Bridge that is spreading its demonic hand over the eastern plains? The eastern plains are still haunted by evil demons who seek to turn the beastmen into brutal soldiers. Knight Commander. Is this really important? Is it important enough to forget where you are? I offered a compromise. I can’t wait to see this problem grow.”
“…The priest is right. It seems I forgot something important.”
Just in time for James to change into his armor his. Thanks to this, in the eyes of the knight commander, he could see the faces of the soldiers waiting for him. The knight commander took a deep breath, kicked off his seat, and stood up.
“Power! Prepare your troops! I asked for help from the beasts, so don’t attack the beasts! We have one goal! An evil cult who disturbs the peace of the eastern plains and tries to spread his demonic powers over the kingdom! It is to exterminate the Sarang religion from the eastern plains!”
He had returned to his dignified appearance as a knight commander. The soldiers raised their weapons to cheer at his returned majesty his. Just in time, James was returning in his armor. Mila didn’t stay next to her, as if she had gone somewhere else. The fighting spirit was burning in James’ eyes. The knight commander hesitated for a moment when he saw James, but this time he did not faint.
Shouted James.
“Father! I’m at the forefront of this conquest! I’m going to kill all the Sarang Cults! I will establish a major that will remain in history! Give me a chance!”
The knight commander nodded his head at the answer and then shouted even louder.
“Good night! James! I’ll take your opinion and make a suggestion! Cut the throats of 100 Sarangkyo members with your own hands! If you do a great job in finding out the location of the Sarangkyo headquarters, I will allow you to marry!”
I shook my head. As long as there is such an ambitious rich man, this conquest will not fail. From here on, it was the territory of the military, so I had no place to intervene. I looked for the carriage and Elsie to get back.
It was time to go home now.
