My Villains Episode 170

42. Bridle (2)

The inexplicable twinkle in Hayla’s eyes had eventually subsided. I looked into his colorless gaze and slowly opened my mouth.

“Is that why you came? “Now that I’m pregnant, are you going to take me to Eyland?”

“huh.”

“But you came yourself? “I didn’t know Nyx would die, so even if that were the case, you are precious.”

“Originally, my mother-in-law wanted to come.”

“••••••External accommodation?”

“Count Akele.”

If you’re Count Akele, then you’re Phoenix’s father?

” ah.”

That’s right, he’s my cousin.

Since Hayla’s mother is Poynix’s aunt, Count Akele is Hayla’s maternal uncle.

It is a moment when I realize once again the genealogy of the Twin Royal Family… … .

“You were stranded when the fishman army appeared.”

“Fishman army?”

“huh.”

Hayla, who had kept her mouth shut, blinked her eyes a couple of times as I stared at her, then continued her explanation.

“It’s the fishman army that launched from the Narrow Sea.”

“… … Um, in the narrow sea?”

“huh. They said it was a rare case. “Fishmen usually live in the ocean.”

The ‘Merfolk’ are enemies that have already been encountered in South Harbor.

Liver, a sea bass commonly called ‘grouper’, ‘Golden Molly’, which resembles a golden tropical fish, ‘Unveiled Witch’, who was disguised as Countess Camilla, and ‘Sea Giant’, who was walking up from deep water. They were all fishmen.

In the game, their faces are only shown intermittently after appearing in large numbers in Chapter 2.

Those guys went out on a large scale?

“Once the fishmen group starts to grow in size, they plunder the coast indiscriminately. “It’s almost impossible to lead a fleet to subdue it.”

The voice that somehow felt like a computer narration continued.

“So Count Akelle is looking for the leader with the wizards of the duchy. “If you just kill the leader, the army will quickly disperse.”

for a moment. Fishman leader?

“… … “Do you know what that guy called the leader looks like?” “I heard he looks like a cross between an octopus and a human.”

“Holding a coral wand or something?”

“that’s right.”

“… … under.”

The ‘Priest of the Deep Sea’.

Originally, this was a boss monster that should have died in Chapter 2, but perhaps because the Underground Lord suddenly appeared, he wasn’t even visible in the end.

Thanks to the fact that the robber baron who was supposed to have escaped died in South Harbor, the events in Longville were handled, um, easier. Of course, there were quite a few twists.

On the other hand, the priest of the deep sea, who should have died, is alive and running away and is doing something else somewhere in the world. By raising up an army.

Just a fucking snowball.

While I was wiping my face, Hayla blinked quietly and then continued.

“Kaisis said he wanted to solidify the succession structure as soon as possible. He also said he would like to see as many candidates as possible.”

“……uh?”

“We are young, but that doesn’t mean we have a lot of time.”

Although she was in the middle of saying something out of the blue, Hayla still had an expressionless expression.

“Zahakar and Baluin have been precious hands for generations. Even if we rush to finish the wedding ceremony and begin the annexation, it will be difficult for more than four people.”

“Wait a minute, wait a minute.”

When I raised my hand in embarrassment, Hayla immediately shut her mouth.

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“Talking about your duties as a pregnant woman

going to be.” “… … The story is progressing as it pleases, but I have no intention of returning to Eyland. “I have no intention of becoming pregnant.”

At that moment, Hayla’s eyebrows twitched slightly.

On the other hand, Ellen, whose face was contorted as she died next to her, had twinkling eyes. I made eye contact with her and gave her a shrug.

“I have work to do. “Here’s what I promised Ellen.”

“That’s right, promise.”

Ellen quickly nodded, looked back at Heila, and narrowed her eyebrows as if she felt sorry.

“I don’t know, but marriage doesn’t happen just because one party insists.”

Hayla slowly turned her head and looked at him.

Ellen smiled brightly at the gaze that had something cold in it.

“What you looking at?”

Is it because of my mood? It feels like the room suddenly gets colder.

Just as I was about to say something, Hayla spoke first.

“It’s not about one side insisting.”

“Oh yeah?”

Ellen looked at Heyla and tilted her head.

“I think Poi said he had no intention of marrying you. “Did I hear wrong because I hurt my ear?”

Flash. The black eyes sparkled like glass.

“9 years ago, when I was fourteen, I was chosen to be Poi’s partner. Both families agreed, and as soon as Poi turned fifteen, they became officially engaged. “Things went awry for a while when her older sister died, but fate eventually came back on track.”

The pitchless voice continued softly and persistently.

“Poy and I will have the perfect child. A child with Poi’s muscles and my blood, Poi’s spirit and my magic. “The child that the awakened members of the family are longing for.”

“Do it in moderation.”

Ellen glared at Hayla with a hardened expression.

“Do you think that just because you act like a sire, Po Yi also has to become a stallion?”

“Ellen, you speak harshly.”

When Ellen remained silent at my dissuasion, Hayla turned her head this way.

“It’s not such a frivolous story.”

“……eww ”

〒『•

“Remember your family’s wishes.”

I quietly looked into Hayla’s eyes.

As befits a member of the Baluin family, her eyes showed no emotion.

“Our child will lead the Blood Knights to conquer the continent. He became a true blood king.”

Just because there were no emotions did not mean there was no greed.

An obsession and greed that no criminal could imagine was deeply engraved in the blood of Zahakar and Baluin. Monopolizing the huge land called Eylantra for over 500 years was also a product of such obsession and greed.

“That is our destiny.”

I saw waves in colorless eyes.

Twisting and violent waves.

It felt like I would be swallowed by the waves at any moment.

I used the headache as an excuse to run out of the room. Hayla just looked at me quietly and nodded her head, but she didn’t do anything to stop herself.

“Eh-”

As soon as I left to visit with Ellen, a person appeared from somewhere and came running towards me.

“bundle?”

“trunnion.”

The bundle was wearing loose clothes made of linen. The guy who ran right in front took a quick look at Ellen and stopped abruptly.

I smiled and motioned to him.

“You said you were hurt? are you okay?”

“Hey. “It’s a nice treat.”

“where?”

Munchi took a step closer, stretched out his left leg, and pointed to the side of his thigh, saying, “Here.” The thick thing underneath the pants looks like it has a bandage wrapped around it.

“Are you having trouble walking?”

“Jiji-ang?”

“Is there anything uncomfortable?”

“Eh, be strict. “It’s not an inconvenience.”

I thought it was really cute that he was answering like that, so I reached out my hand and ruffled his hair.

“to-”

Munchi, whose eyes were half closed, looked a little disappointed when my hand fell.

“I heard the story.”

“Is it a story?”

“You said you saved Ellen?”

“Do as Poi says.”

“Ok, thanks.”

Hehe, I patted the smiling guy’s head again.

” oh.”

Even before I touch it, the heel of the bundle suddenly lifts up as if to greet me. Bangsil-geori had a cute face and lightly pinched the tip of her nose.

“Ah, Ellen.”

“… … what.”

“Did you say thank you to Mungchi?”

Ellen had her arms crossed and a sullen expression on her face.

“why me?”

“… … ‘Why me?’ “She said she would have died if it wasn’t for the bundle.”

“Would you have done that to save me? “I just did what you told me.”

“Hey you-”

I immediately frowned, and Moongchi, who was watching us, quickly intervened.

“Do it.”

“huh’?”

“Ellen, do it to me.”

“… … “Thank you?”

“Also, I say it’s more useful than it looks. Also, Ellen gave me a gold coin. “Change that prayer.”

While the bunch was talking intently, Ellen was just pouting.

“… … What, did you do well? “Why are you so upset?” “Who’s sullen?” “Who is it, you? what’s the matter?”

Despite my question, Ellen just kept her mouth shut.

Well, it looks like he doesn’t really want to open his mouth.

By the time I went out into the courtyard, the faint noise from earlier had gradually become clearer.

“Line it up, line it up! “You idiots!”

“Hit, stab, pull, hit, stab, pull! “What on earth is so difficult?”

In addition to the fierce shouting, the sound of feet sweeping the floor and pieces of wood hitting each other is loud.

“what? “What kind of fuss are you making in front of the Yeongjugwan?”

“It’s training.”

“••••••training?”

“yes. “We gather people together and train them.”

Ellen added to Mungchi’s words.

“The Baroness conscripted the people of the territory. “I’m doing this to train that ragtag group of people.”

“Are you really planning to fight against Count Tristan’s army?”

“I don’t know. “I’ve only been in my room since I came back.”

After hearing what he said, I quickly left the residence and saw that there were about 200 men brandishing quarterstaffs under the command of Chester, the training leader. Next to Chester, Utequoi is sitting comfortably.

“Hey, Ute Kwai!”

The three non-commissioned officers and soldiers have been causing trouble among the conscripts, so there is no market for them. Only after I shouted three or four times did Utequai turn around.

“… … “What kind of fuss is this?”

As I was waving at him, familiar figures among the soldiers came running towards me.

“Phoenix!”

“What are you doing here again?”

It was leader Amias and tight end Steedman. Amias opened his mouth, wiping away the dusty sweat.

“The training leader asked me to help out a little, so I was just paying for food.”

“What the heck, what have we done so far? Do we have to pay for food again?”

“Because I don’t have anything else to do… …

As Amias trailed off, Steedman blew his nose and joked.

“Actually, I was trying to act like a carnivore while fighting next to Phoenix, but wow, it was so hard that I couldn’t breathe. “Ellen and the person who will become your wife-”

“Who will be your wife?”

Steedman, who was talking about something, would close his mouth when he saw Ellen following me.

Then Ellen smiled.

“Ma’am, who will you be?”

“… … uh,”

“Who said it?”

“For me, that is,”

At that time, archer Cole appeared behind the stuttering Steedman. It seems they discovered us late because they were helping a group of hunters train.

Cole made eye contact with Steedman for a moment and then greeted me with a solemn expression.

“You’re awake. “Are you feeling okay?”

“Yes, as you can see.”

“The lady you were talking about is over there.”

When Ellen narrowed her eyes at Cole’s words, Steedman clapped his hands and pointed to one side of the vacant lot.

“Oh, yes. The Baroness. He is learning swordsmanship at the request of Mira, and he is very enthusiastic. Mira, I’m sick of that toxic girl.”

While Steedman was talking like that, Utequai also appeared at a leisurely pace.

“H- Poynix, I lived well without being pressured by girls.”

“What are you talking about, you bastard?”

After briefly saying hello to the giggling guy, I immediately expressed my doubts.

“So, do you really want to fight? “I heard there are over a thousand troops over there.”

“This side is also close to 400. “It’s a move worth trying.”

“Don’t talk nonsense. “I heard there are knights in their 20s and saboteurs, so it’s worth a try.”

“If we fight in the field, we have no chance of winning. But if you fight with a wooden fence on, you can survive.”

“Hold on?”

“right.”

Amias, who was next to him, added an explanation.

“The Baroness has sent a letter to the royal capital.”

“Correspondence? By what means?”

“Mr. Janabas helped me.”

Druid Xanavas? Well, did you miss Jeon Seo-gu?

“I will ask the Supreme Court of the capital for a ruling. “It’s about inheritance.”

“Will that solve it?”

“From what I heard from Veldin, there’s nothing else we can do. I don’t want to let go and see the people of the territory reduced to slaves… …

« O ”

Talking about slavery was something Atalanta told me.

The story is that if Doyle, the second son of Count Tristan, takes possession of Longville, he will drive the residents into the gold mines to raise war funds and then start a rebellion.

“at last… …

A few days ago, someone spied on me while I was practicing in the backyard of the Yeongjugwan. I followed her gaze up to the second floor and met Dionea, and I told her the above story.

He said he would think about it at the time, but it seems he finally made up his mind. It’s a result I didn’t want… … .

I scratched my eyebrows and then looked at Ute Kwai and smiled.

“But why did you intervene? “You said you don’t want to get involved in this kind of political play?”

“It’s not a political game. “It just helps you become a warrior.”

His gaze was directed at the conscripts.

Most of them were young people, but there were men of various ages, from a young boy who must have been as young as fourteen to an old, grizzled man.

“… … Being a warrior sucks. Would you be able to become a warrior if you suddenly gathered something like this? “Do you think everyone is like you?”

Utequoi smiled at my cynicism.

“Yes, they are all like me.”

“No one is born a warrior. “Life only forges you into a warrior.”

“… … “What kind of idiot are you talking about?”

“Fate is hammering down on them. There are two paths. Either break and die, or be forged and become a warrior.”

“You can’t give a blow instead of a hammer. But I am a Daejeon envoy. “It’s very easy to make iron hot.”

I pondered the riddle-like words and nodded quietly.

Leaving Utekwai behind, I met Daionea. She was about to enter her courtyard with her, when unexpected news came from her gate.

“Why are they here?”

While Dionea was questioning the messenger, I quickly ran out to the front of the manor.

At that moment, a man and horse of about twenty were running along the road leading from the gate, blowing dust.

The lead driver made eye contact with me and burst into laughter.

“haha! “It’s an early reunion!”

The knight jumped off his horse almost as if performing a trick. A blue cape fluttered like a wave, and a handsome man with a stylish mustache opened his arms to her.

“You’ve grown bigger, Sir! Now it will be similar to Ankir!”

“Lord Langbolt.”

I smiled and hugged Lang Bolt Earl Shore, a knight nicknamed ‘The Shouting Wave’.

Behind him, Ariad Barin, an old knight known as the ‘Silver Prince’s Adder’, got off his horse.

Prince Ulkar’s two knights visited Longville.
