Chapter 59 – While You’re Gone (2)
Peta’s territory was largely adjacent to three domains. One is the Delmon estate where Lucius had his head broken before. And one is Kaiden’s territory, which is currently in a state where only a breathing machine is attached after receiving a direct hit from a monster attack. And the Amur Territory, which is currently making a fuss about sending a ‘territory agent’ to the Peta Territory.
The Amur Territory was also in a bad situation as it could not escape from the aftereffects caused by the current monster attack. So, he was periodically requesting aid from Lucius’s estate, and Sieri couldn’t help but wonder when he heard that an agent was sent from a place like this.
“They said that only nobles can serve as proxy for a territory. Is there a noble who can set up a representative for a territory other than the lord?”
“An aide could be a nobleman.”
On the way to the border, Sieri answered Eve’s question.
“In our Peta estate, Aira and I are helping with the work on behalf of the aide, but other territories have a close relationship, so we send each other as aides so that the sons of nobles can experience the duties of a lord in advance .I can send you as an agent.”
“What’s good about being Youngji’s agent?”
“Maybe…”
Xie Li trailed off her words. The Amur Territory had been steadily requesting support from the Peta Territory. If the Amur Territory’s aid was acting as the lord’s deputy, he could have mobilized Peta’s budget to apply for the Amur Territory. Xie Li lowered her voice.
“Probably, it seems to be aiming for the budget of our estate. Right now, the Amur estate is very difficult.”
“Ah, while you’re an agent, you can use the budget to some extent. You’re trying to get the agent’s authority somehow.”
“Yes. Since our lord is the chief priest anyway, he won’t be able to ask us to return the budget spent for relief purposes.”
“It’s unexpected. I thought you would say that you should help the Amur estate.”
“Because the lord has never allowed it.”
Siri said firmly. From a certain moment, in Sieri’s mind, the command of Peta Lucius took precedence over the doctrine of Archangelism. Eve was annoyed by the uncomfortable shoes on her feet, and when Eve reached the border, frowning, there was a man shouting at the soldiers. Behind him stood two knights who appeared to be escort knights.
“So! I’m not going to be the representative of this territory! I am Rubicon Kondrix, the son of the Grand Duke of Rubicon in the north! To prove my identity, I brought the family crest and also brought a personal letter from the lord of Amur.”
“No, so we didn’t hear anything. Please understand. Adjutant Condrix. If we arbitrarily bring in outside nobles like this, the lord will strike a bell later.”
“Are you guys afraid of the priest, or are you afraid of my father, the Grand Duke of the North?”
The man introduced himself as Rubicon Condrix. Dong-si said that he was the son of the Grand Duke of the North, and that the coat of arms of the Amur Territory and the Rubicon family would prove his identity. While walking closer, Eve asked Sieri.
“Where is the Rubicon family?”
“It’s a family just below the Dragon Mountains. It’s a very influential family in the North and has a high reputation.”
“Are you very smart?”
“It’s one of the families that donated the most to the Archangel Church. When I was training at the religious order, I met the Archduke Rubicon once. He was a very nice person…”
Sieri looked at the Rubicon Condrix, the son of the Archduke Rubicon. Eve seemed to have a rough idea of what Sieri would say at the end of her blur. I wondered where such a madman came from. There was no way Eve or Sieri would not have known if Lucius had been given the word about the agent.
Lucius wasn’t the type to forget that, and he had left after designating Eve as his agent in the first place. According to the law of the land, the first priority in the absence of the lord was the spouse of the lord.
“Ahem.”
Eve cleared her throat and drew attention. The guards were staring blankly at her, not recognizing who Eve was. It was only after Sieri Lee kissed Eve from behind that she said ‘lord’s wife’ before the guards hurriedly stood up and greeted Eve.
“Oh, you’re here, ma’am!”
“Uh, yes… Yo. Good job… Yo?”
Eve’s face seemed to twitch. Normally, she would have said, ‘I’m having a hard time, you fucking bastards’, but she couldn’t bear to say such a thing with the title of lady of the lord. Her body couldn’t accept the fact that she was trembling with false pretenses.
Condrix looked over at her Eve and asked.
“Who are you?”
“I am the groom’s wife. My name is Eve.”
“What?”
“No. I mean, that… Something. Peta Lucius’s wife. My name is Eve.”
Eve’s face turned red. Xie Li covered her face and sighed. The guards were biting their lips trying to contain her laughter. Condrix nodded her head at that.
“Ah, I know. The story of Peta Lucius marrying a fish farmer.”
“What, what?”
At Condrix’s bombshell remark, the guards froze all at once. Sieri was also staring at him with a dazed expression, and Eve asked again, twitching the corner of her mouth.
“Isn’t it? Rumor has it, but seeing that she walks on two legs, she doesn’t look like a mermaid. I apologize if it’s not true.”
He was a guy who couldn’t tell if he was polite or not. Eve said, holding back that she wanted to spit out curses.
“Ah, yes. There is a misunderstanding. I am half-mermaid… My name is Eve. I committed a great crime, but was pardoned by the grace of my husband and I am living a new life.”
“This is the so-called shameless seed.”
Eve did not open her mouth any longer. He felt that if he opened his mouth now, he would curse. Sierra was holding her Eve’s arm with her restless face. The Amur territory was not a big deal, but the Grand Duke of Rubicon was a great nobleman who commanded the north. If Eve now made her son crippled, he did not know how angry he would be.
“According to the fiefdom law, a lord’s agent can be a nobleman or a person holding a position equivalent to that.”
“Before that, the wife has priority…”
“Madam? Do you think half-mermaids have legal rights? Just one question, do you have a plaque proving that you are a citizen of this kingdom?”
There was no way. Eve was, strictly speaking, a runaway slave. Cieri defended Eve.
“Princess Erina of the Kingdom of Ashildern has already served as the representative of the Peta Territory. I don’t think it matters much whether you are a human or not, a citizen of the kingdom or not, as a representative of the territory.”
“The Elf Kingdom, like the Dwarf Kingdom, has a mutual cooperation treaty with our kingdom. When did we sign a mutual cooperation treaty with the mermaids? Mermaids are nothing more than monsters whose meat and hides are sold. Do you think you’ll be able to understand it in the territory? Who can believe a monster that even has a record of mass murder and sex crimes? Give up your authority right now and go back to your room. Mermaid.”
“Oh shit…”
Sieri hurriedly shut Eve’s mouth.
“Why. Are you afraid that I might touch your filthy body? Don’t worry. I have a wife back home. I don’t intend to spend any extravagant things while I’m at the estate. I’m just borrowing some items needed for the relief of the Amur estate. Ban There’s no way a Pisces can think of helping others.”
“What are you bastards? Half fish?”
Condrix flinched when Eve burst forward and cursed at him, but he soon corrected his expression of her and said:
“I’ll say it again. I can’t accept that a monster is in charge of my neighboring estate, even for a moment.”
“You fucking bitch!”
Pooh!
Eve turned around at those words. He drew the sword of the guard next to him and stabbed Condrix in the stomach. Condrix fell to his knees, clutching his stomach in bewilderment. The escort knights drew their swords and ran, but were stopped by the guards.
“Kkeuk…Kkeukkeuk…Is, what…Is this…Attacking…Attacking a noble…”
“You fucking bastard! I’m the lord’s wife. But what the fuck, half a fish to the lord’s wife? You’re going back today half a corpse, you bastard!”
The guards, the knights, and Shieri all froze at the unexpected situation. Eve pulled the knife from Condrix’s stomach. Condrix rolled on the floor clutching his stomach his, coughing up froths of his blood his.
“It’s black… It’s black…”
After rolling several times, Condrix barely managed to get up. He rummaged in his pockets and pulled out his wallet. It was a beautiful wallet with brilliant colors.
“Eh, I’ll give you any amount of money… I’ll give it to you… Dad, quickly… The priest…”
“Because this bastard wants to see you!”
Before Sieri, who came to his senses belatedly her, could heal him, Eve got angry once again and split Condrix’s belly button once more. This time, he had sharpened his blade and split the ship in half. Condrix looked at Eve with a puzzled expression.
“이 개새끼가 내 앞에서 인어가죽 지갑을 꺼내? 이 씨발 나 꼴받으라고 일부러 그러냐? 넌 씨발 곱게 못죽을거다!”
The escort knights who defeated the guards came running. Eve tore off the arm of the knight who had reached out to her. One knight toppled over with a scream, and Eve lunged at the other knight who hesitated, striking his helm with his fist. The helmet dented and the knight sat down.
“Sah, help me… Help me… I… I… Did wrong…”
Sieri barely managed to treat him, and Condrix was alive. He looked at him, who was breathing thinly, and Eve breathed heavily. This sense. It’s been a long time. Eve asked with a smile.
“What did you say your name was?”
“Nose, Condrix… Rubicon Condrix…”
“That’s a very pretty name. If you were born as a mermaid, you would have become a great mermaid. You know what? All mermaids are fucking female. Bastard. You said you wanted to live, right?”
“Save me… Save me…”
Eve sighed and pointed the blade at Condrix.
“I’m going to castrate you from now on. If you’re still alive, I’ll let you go, you fucking bastard.”
“Kik… That, stop it… Stop it…”
“Eve! Stop it! Stop it! Is that really a big deal!”
Eve, who really tried to take off Condrix’s pants, was stopped by Sieri. If he killed his aide his, he couldn’t really turn back. Eve looked at Sieri, who was desperately trying to stop him, sighed, and threw away his knife her.
“Hey, get off.”
Then he patted Condrix with his foot and pushed it away. Condrix jumped up and ran hastily toward his estate. How many steps did he run? Condrix, standing still, died, bleeding from the orifices all over his body. It was because the intestines were forced to move while being harpooned.
“Fucked.”
Eve murmured. Xieri felt his head hurt her.
