22. Count Castle (2)
Even after the eldest son Kaisen finished speaking, the silence continued for a long time.
“Go ahead.”
One word flowed from Yuma’s mouth.
Kaisen took one more step.
Quick! Coo!
It was clearly felt that the soldiers were panicking. Pushed out Without realizing it, their steps were delayed. Because I felt a deep determination in the eyes of my eldest son, who had not yet shed his boyish streak.
The lead suddenly fell to the eldest son, Kaisen.
The knights also began to back away, staring at their leader, Knight Commander Hyman.
In the end, all but five of the 50 troops scattered to both sides.
“Commander of the Knights Hyman.”
Kaisen stood in front of Knight Commander Hyman. In front of the knight commander, who was scattering blue aura from the sword he held in his right hand.
“Master.”
Haiman’s hot gaze glared piercingly at Kaisen.
“My knight Agel is dead.”
Kaisen learned swordsmanship from Haiman. So he often used the honorific term when they were alone together. When the name Agel came up, Hyman’s brow furrowed.
“Don’t you know that Agel is not a person with the temperament to steal a senior knight’s wife?”
Heiman could not deny those words.
Agel, who was once included in the Count’s 1st Knight Corps, did not seem to have the personality to be worthy of it. When he heard why he was executed, he could not easily understand.
“First of all, I just want to meet his father face to face and talk to him and solve my doubts.”
Heiman had no choice but to admit it.
It was only for a moment, but he was overwhelmed by his student. And that he was persuaded.
Hyman twisted his foot to the right. His eldest son, Kaisen, made his way towards the gate, his blond hair flowing.
It was non-invasive.
In front of Baekjaksungmun.
The knights blocking the castle gate stared at Knight Commander Hyman with puzzled faces.
“Ha, Sir Hyman?”
Hyman opened his mouth with a stern expression.
“Open the door.”
And then he stared at the back of himself.
Kaisen was standing there.
When the knights at the castle gate learned that the eldest son of the disappeared family had returned, they quietly left. And a huge door opened.
Yuma spoke to Hestia and Clone next to him.
“If the atmosphere becomes unusual, be prepared to escape.”
Hestia and Clone nodded their heads loudly.
***
“His Excellency the Count asks you to come in.”
The knight bowed his head to Kaisen.
Kaisen stared at Yuma behind him.
From noble mtl dot com
“Let’s go in together, Kaisen.”
Yuma looked at Hyman and said.
“Something suspicious has occurred within the count. From now on, as the princess’s representative, I will consider this matter as official duty.”
“…Prince Kaisen is the only person His Excellency has allowed to meet face-to-face.”
Hyman’s hand went to his waist. To be precise, it was aimed at the sword at his waist.
A cold energy once again encroached on the space.
Iron─Kkeok
When the blade of the sword saw the world for just a moment, a deep voice came from inside.
-It doesn’t matter. Let anyone in.
Considering Count Rubelt’s current situation, he was a generous ambassador to the point of being strange.
The sword that Hyman flicked ever so slightly went back into its scabbard.
Multiple steps moved.
Hestia looked at Clone with two green eyes.
“Public service…! That’s cool! Yuma-sama is the empire’s troubleshooter who receives orders from the First Princess! What is that?”
Hearing Hestia’s words, Clone slowly shook her head.
“I’m not sure. I just have to trust it because it’s Yuma-sama’s job.”
Yuma was eavesdropping on their conversation with an expressionless face.
Public affairs.
Actually, there is no such thing.
I just rely on the authority of First Princess Brigitte and say the lines that come to mind.
Geueueueueueueuung…
The door was opened.
Count Rubelt was sitting on a chair that looked like a throne, just as he had seen before.
Ruvelt’s mouth opened again.
“Welcome, my son.”
It was a solemn voice. Even though he was greeted by his father, Kai Sen’s face was stiff.
Just before being imprisoned in Yuto Forest, the feeling of alienation he felt when he faced his father. He had to feel the sense of isolation once again.
‘No matter how you look at it.’
That was not the father she had seen for 19 years.
The eldest son, Kai Sen, suppressed the headache blooming in his head and slowly opened his mouth.
“Who are you?”
Kaisen continued.
“My father is not the kind of person who will stand by and watch a human-eating being exist on this earth.”
In the words of his son who denies his own existence. Count Rubelt just twitched the corners of his mouth.
“And much less the person who would punish the knight who reported this for a crime he did not commit and have him executed.”
Sereung─!
Kaisen pulled out the sword from his waist.
Parr…
The body had been imprisoned in prison for a good three months. His arms, weakened by the weight of the heavy blade, trembled.
“I’m certainly not a father who would put his innocent son in prison.”
Ruvelt suddenly started laughing.
“…Tsk tsk tsk.”
Very loud.
“Khahahaha!!”
It was literally a roar of laughter.
“You’re such a scared kid. Even though you’re trembling, you say everything you want to say. Huh?”
A bright red glow bloomed in the corners of Roosevelt’s wrinkled eyes.
In the beauty of middle age. Count Rubelt’s words suddenly became distorted in a hoarse, bizarre voice.
“I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to use the body of Count Rubelt to become the king of this place. Since the location is not that conspicuous, I thought it would be fun to live a moderately powerful life. A pretty fun pastime. This will happen.”
It wasn’t Kaisen or Yuma who felt the most perplexed by the Count’s change.
“…Your Excellency the Count?”
Even if the Count behaved a little strangely, the leader of the knights, Hyman, believed in him until the end and held a sword next to him.
Louvelt strongly hit the ground with his right foot.
Then red light covered the entire space. Magic circle.
The magic circle was emitting light.
Red light that encompasses the space itself.
“I can’t have fun anymore. It’s a shame, but I’m satisfied. The goal has now been achieved.”
A red-hot airflow suddenly spewed out from Count Rubelt’s body.
“Just try struggling.”
Ruvelt’s body went limp as he sat in the chair.
Kugugugugugugu!!
Suddenly, the ground shook as if an earthquake had occurred, along with the sound of countless footsteps.
“What, what is it?”
Hestia looked around her with wide-open eyes.
They were gathering. The troops within the count’s castle. Just like zombies, very disorderly.
A bright red light was shining in their eyes.
Yuma interpreted this situation without difficulty.
‘Are they the ones who fell under the spell of mental depression?’
This was the main characteristic of the Black Dragon. Using mental magic. If you are exposed to a black dragon’s magical energy for a very long period of time, you become a servant of that black dragon.
Moves according to the will of the black dragon. Once you make a movement according to your will, your brain gradually burns out and dies. Those who had been exposed to the magic circle of domination for a long time could not withstand it unless they had considerable strength and mental strength.
Thump thump thump!!
Hyman stared at his men who had gathered like zombies at his doorstep.
“…I can’t believe it.”
Among the troops who spend most of their time in this count’s castle. The only ones who maintained their sanity were Knight Commander Hyman and Deputy Knight Commander Rowelk.
Cheolkeng
Slap!
The county’s knights and soldiers took up their weapons.
The metal sound of cold weapons endlessly disturbed my ears.
The command engraved in their minds was very simple and clear.
Kill the people in this room now.
That was all.
Yuma placed her hand on Kaisen’s right shoulder, who was trembling in fear in front of her.
“Are you ready to inherit the title? The next Earl.”
“…Huh? What do you mean, Yuma?”
“Don’t worry. Even if the county becomes a mess for a while, I will personally ask the princess for help.”
It was visible to Yuma. This was the basis for criticizing the next Earl about how much of a mess this County of Rubelt would become.
I am on your side. Now, there is no choice but to turn the county into a mess.
Yuma held [Black Dragon Bernak’s Tooth] In reverse.
“Don’t be afraid. The next Count Rubelt.”
Giggles…
This is because the sound of the Count’s archers firing arrows could be heard from all directions.
The archers, with their bright red eyes shining brightly, pulled the strings without saying a word.
Chrrreuk─
Inside those zombie archers. There were dozens of powerful knight-level knights who could imbue their arrowheads with blue auras.
About 40 arrows rained down from the main gate.
“Hey!”
Hestia was scared and raised her sword. If you stay like this, it will turn into a beehive!
Jerbeok
At that time, Yuma took a step forward.
The talent─────ki…… Geek-geek-…
Time began to pass slowly.
Limited to the gaze of the being called Yuma.
40 Arrows slowly striking in the air.
The arrival speed of each flying arrow was determined at a glance.
I calculated the priorities in an instant as to what to do first.
Kang!
Knocking down 30 arrows within 30 seconds of bullet time.
The moment the bullet time ended, it seemed at first glance that all the remaining arrows that were flying at the same time were parried.
─All arrows go backwards.
Sweet!! Shoo shoo shoo shoo!!
The arrow pierced the neck of the archers.
Fubu Book!!
It penetrated the exact center of the head.
Bwak!
It pierced my heart.
The bodies of the 40 knights holding arrows surrounding Yuma and his group fell backwards all at once.
Cow wow──!
“This battle is the ceremony of succession to your title. Kaisen Pel Rubelt.”
