My Villains Episode 190

interlude. Regent and Sergeant

“How are you doing these days?”

In response to Jenessa’s question, Amias tightened the sleeve straps of his chain armor and shrugged his shoulders.

“It’s the same, whatever.”

“It must be difficult.”

“It’s hard.”

Amias smiled as if it was no big deal and put on his coat.

There was a painting of a shooting star falling through a mountain valley on the west court. This is a sentence written by the writer Anig.

“What about the Baroness?”

“… … I do not know.”

“You don’t know?”

“huh. “It’s hard to see you.”

Next, he put on a belt with a long sword and picked up the ax spear that was leaning in the corner. I walked out of the house, being careful not to scratch other furniture with the heavy blade of the ax spear.

“The Baron left the room and hasn’t been seen since two days ago.”

“Oh my.”

Jenessa, wearing a brown gown, adjusted her collar and looked worried.

“… … Take care of yourself.”

Amias looked at her face and raised his eyebrows playfully.

“Why are you so dead? “I’m not going off to battle, I’m just here to chat with the soldiers.”

“You know what I’m talking about.”

“Don’t worry about me, go to bed when the sun goes down. I also go to church in the morning. “I’ll pick you up in the morning.”

After leaving a short kiss, Amias left the house.

Amias and Genessa set up a house quite close to the residence.

It was a house built by remodeling a building that was originally a store, and it was a bit spacious for two people to live in. Moreover, unlike the houses around it, it was made of bricks and plastered, so it was very expensive for a house in a country estate.

Of course, for Amias and Genessa, twenty silver coins was not that much money. This is thanks to the fact that he earned a lot of money while working under Poynix.

Even though they found a nice house in a great location, the young couple was unable to adjust to their new life even after three weeks.

It was because of the ominous current that was flowing through Longville recently… … .

It was around dusk that Sergeant Amias arrived at the barracks. After a brief conversation with the training leader, Chester, he patrolled the fence with ten soldiers.

Thanks to the hard work of the territory residents, the wooden fence that collapsed during the war had now been somewhat restored.

In the case of the gateway, it seemed like it would take some more time to regain its former grandeur, but the wooden gate and gate tower were sufficient to protect the territory for now.

Perhaps because it rained last morning, there were quite a few places where the soil was dug up at the base of the tree. As a result, Amias and his soldiers had to waste time digging here and there.

By the time the soldiers on the fence were lighting their torches, Amias had reached the manor house.

“Mr. Amias.”

“okay.”

Two of the four guarding the main gate of the lord’s residence paid a courtesy to Amias.

They were Longville’s soldiers selected by their training commander, Chester. It was natural to show respect to Petty Officer Amias.

But not the other two.

The two men who treated Amias like a cow or a chicken were mercenaries. The men of Edwin, Baron Mallory’s half-brother.

Amias looked at the two mercenaries with disapproving eyes and then changed the guards. Two of the soldiers he brought with him stood in front of the main gate, and the two who guarded the main gate joined Amias.

A similar process was repeated after entering the Yeongjugwan. Amias changed the guard in the center of the courtyard, behind the wall, and in front of the lord’s bedroom.

And wherever soldiers were standing guard, Edwin’s subordinate mercenaries were also standing next to them.

‘… … Shit. ‘What on earth is this?’

As Edwin acted as a half-lord in place of the old and sick Baron Mallory, his men also acted as if they were masters of the estate. It wasn’t like normal shit.

Amias cursed inwardly and headed to the final destination, the hall.

“Oh, you’re here.”

“It’s a little late.”

Guarding the front of the hall were a middle-aged sergeant, two soldiers, and two mercenaries. Paul, a middle-aged sergeant, welcomed Amias with a smile.

“It’s too late. “The sun just set.”

“is that so? “It took quite some time because we had to do some digging on the way.”

“huh? “You mean shoveling?”

“There were some places where the ground was dug up by rainwater. “I had to do some digging to fill it up.”

“Oh, that? “I was going to take care of it on my way back.”

“Isn’t it a hassle to shovel while holding a torch?”

“That’s right.”

When the soldiers guarding the front of the hall finished their shifts, the ten soldiers who stood guard during the day prepared torches in the brazier placed in the hall.

Paul, who was watching the soldiers prepare to return, suddenly looked up at the ax spear that Amias was holding.

“He always carries that damn ax spear with him. “Isn’t it heavy?”

“… … Well, it’s not that heavy.”

As Amias shrugged his shoulders, Paul chuckled.

“H-If I had something heavy and expensive like that, I would just put it in a corner of the house. “You too are quite worthy.”

Amias smiled quietly and looked up at the ax spear.

The straight spear blade and the broad ax blade flashed sharply, and the lacquered spear gleamed with a reddish sheen. At first glance, it was quite an extraordinary item.

Amias recalled the moment he obtained this magical ax spear.

-ruler.

-… … yes?

-What’s ‘yes?’ Take it.

-Why are you doing this to me?

-Originally, it is national rule for non-commissioned officers to carry halberds.

-Guk rule, what is this?

-… … There is such a thing. Anyway, take it before your arm falls off.

-However, these magic tools are too much for a single baronial sergeant.

-Just shut up and take it. Because I might have something to write about someday.

-What if you say it’s something you’ll write about someday?

-… … Well, I don’t know about that. But this guy, don’t you get it quickly? Do you want to take a hit?

-Ugh, ah, I understand.

-good. Then I go.

-Let’s go together. We will see you off.

-Okay, what are you going to do if the Baron gets angry for no reason? You have to live here.

-Phoenix -And, um, if you can, please help Dionea too.

-Dionea? Do you mean Baroness?

-okay.

-… … yes. I will do that.

-What, why are you making such a solemn expression?

-Anyway, I’m really going. Be happy.

Poynix handed over the magic ax and said goodbye with a big smile. It was a very pleasant smile that did not match his cold appearance at all. Amias could sense that he would never forget that smile… … .

“Okay, I guess I’ll just leave.”

“… … Ah, yes. Please proceed carefully.”

“okay. “I’m having a hard time.”

Amias, who suddenly came to his senses at the sound of Paul’s voice, saw off the returning soldiers and stood in front of the hall.

“Keu-”

And as I was leaning the hatchet on my shoulder and activating my spirit, I heard an unexpected sound from somewhere.

“It’s an assassination!”

A shout close to a scream. Amias, realizing that the sound came from behind, was startled and opened the hall door.

“Aaaah!”

At that moment, a person fell down the stairs inside the hall.

The woman wearing only a thin dress and covered in blood was Baroness Daionea!

“Madam!” Amias was startled and ran towards the Baroness.

“ma’am! Are you okay?”

“I-I’m fine.”

At first glance, Amias noticed that the Baroness didn’t seem to be seriously injured. As he quickly took off his coat and handed it to her, Daionea covered herself with her trembling hands and opened her mouth.

“Edwin. Edwin, he killed the Baron.”

Amias looked dazed at the sound that sounded like lightning.

“••••••yes?”

“Call the soldiers and gather them together! “We have to catch Ed Wynn right now!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Edwin and two mercenaries appeared from the stairs where the Baroness had fallen.

“What a bitch-”

Edwin appeared holding a sword, blood dripping from his back. He shouted, supported by his subordinates.

“She killed my brother, Baron Mallory! Arrest me immediately!”

Starting with a series of screams and shouts, the Yeongjugwan quickly became noisy.

Not only the soldiers who were standing guard, but also Sergeant Paul, who was just leaving the courtyard, came rushing in, leading the returning troops. Edwin’s men, who were spread out throughout the manor house, also gathered with their weapons drawn.

Longville’s soldiers naturally gathered around the Baroness and Amias, and the mercenaries gathered around Edwin.

Meanwhile, Dionea was shedding tears and pointing at Edwin.

“Edwin, you abominable bastard! The Lord will punish you for killing his brother and trying to rape me!”

“You’re like a female praying mantis eating your husband! “You are so shameless!”

As the Baroness and Edwin ran wild, swearing at each other, the soldiers were unable to hide their confusion and were unable to do anything.

“You stupid bastards!”

Edwin, whose face was stained red, was screaming at the top of his voice even as blood was pouring from his back.

“Don’t just stand there like a head, but catch that bitch!”

“No, he’s lying!”

The Baroness also did not give up and shouted at him.

“Edwin broke into the bedroom, stabbed the Baron to death, and tried to rape me next to the corpse! Look at the sword he is holding! “The blood flowing over there is the Baron’s!”

“Um, that crazy bitch-”

Venomous eyes and a voice filled with bitterness. It was the image of a wife who unfairly lost her husband.

The soldiers’ eyes gradually became more ferocious as they saw the usually gentle and benevolent Baroness running wild like a madman.

“Chang, listen!”

It was the shout of Paul, a middle-aged sergeant. At the same time, the soldiers aimed their javelins at the mercenaries.

“We will protect you until Captain Chester comes!”

It may have been to control the soldiers, but it was a big mistake for Paul to shout like that.

‘The soldiers would die in silence if they heard that bitch’s words. The training leader is also on that bitch’s side.’

Ed Wynn, who had been shouting in place, quickly grasped the situation and looked around the hall. While his men numbered nearly thirty, his soldiers numbered less than twenty.

“good-”

In the end, Edwin gritted his teeth and gave an order.

“Hit!” “Kill them all!”

As soon as the order was given, the mercenaries screamed and rushed towards the soldiers.

“Stop it—!”

With Sergeant Paul shouting, a bloody fight broke out.

“Jukfuck! “Push!”

“Don’t back down! “You have to hold on!”

The soldiers blocked the attack with spears, but Edwin’s men were superior in numbers and had extensive combat experience. Shortly after the battle began, three of his soldiers collapsed, bleeding.

Amias, who was guarding the Baroness’s side, realized that she was outnumbered and quickly rushed forward.

“Move!”

The heavy ax spear made a clanging sound along with a sharp shout. Just before the ax blade touched the head of a mercenary, a fierce flame erupted.

Kwasik!

The mercenary with his head split open fell to the ground. Something was flowing out of nowhere and was simmered in the flames emitted by the ax spear.

“Look around!”

Amias fiercely swung his ax and spear in all directions.

“Uh, uh—”

As red-hot flames burned fiercely before their eyes, the embarrassed mercenaries instantly stepped back.

Amias chased after them, stabbing and swinging with his axe. The heavy and sharp ax spear inflicted fatal injuries even if it just grazed, and if hit incorrectly, limbs could fall off.

Kagak!

Meanwhile, an ax blade got caught in the iron chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

“Uh huh,”

Amiis, who was momentarily taken aback, instinctively gathered strength and pulled down the ax spear.

Gigi geek, kwachang!

“Oops!”

“Kko, kwaaak!”

A heavy iron chandelier fell into the middle of the enemy. Three mercenaries were crushed there, screaming and moaning.

When the front became blank for a moment, Amias quickly jumped away. He jumped over the chandelier and the mercenaries underneath it and lunged at Edwin.

“Oh my god, stop it!”

“This guy-”

At Edwin’s shout, a mercenary attacked him, holding a pulse. Amias slashed his ax spear as he ran.

Kagagagak,

The reddish spear violently pressed down on Pearl Sean, who was blocking him.

Kwasik!

The heavy ax blade crushed the iron helmet.

“Gung, gerreuk,”

The mercenary with the distorted head made a strange sound, then trembled and fell down on his side.

Amias, who retrieved the ax spear, continued to run and swing the spear blade.

“Uh, uh-”

Sigh!

The mercenary who was supporting Edwin took a step back, but the blade of his spear got stuck in his rib cage and he vomited blood.

Chi-Ik-

For a moment, as the flames from the ax spear consumed the wound, the mercenary whose neck had been pierced spit out smoke instead of blood and rolled his eyes.

Amias pulled the ax and spear from the dead mercenary and swung them loudly and low in a circular motion.

“Oh, what!”

The ax blade, which was swung as if to sweep, caught Edwin’s ankle. As Edwin fell, Amias stomped on his back and aimed his ax spear at his throat.

“Ugh, huh-”

Amias took a deep breath and shouted.

“Everyone – stop!”

Hearing his shout, the embarrassed mercenaries stopped.

“Lower your weapons and step back! “Before I turn your leader into two!”

Amias growled fiercely, aiming the flame-engulfed ax spear at Edwin’s neck. The mercenaries swore lowly and retreated to the back.

At that moment, several people gathered in the hall. They were the vassals of the family, including Tolamy the Herald, Selma the Steward, Edita the Steward, and Veldin the Scrivener.

“What the hell is going on!” As Herald Tolummy shouted hoarsely, his chin shaking, the Baroness, who had been hiding behind the soldiers, stepped forward.

“Edwin, that guy killed the Baron.”

Her voice had calmed down considerably, but her eyes were still dripping with anger and venom.

“It was to usurp the throne and rape me. “Like a dirty kinslayer.”

“no-!”

Edwin was crushed by Amias’ feet and blood was dripping from his back. He wriggled and protested as if he was struggling.

“It’s a lie, you did this! “I saw it clearly with my own eyes!”

“Not only did he kill the Baron, he tried to have his men kill all the soldiers here.”

Edwin, who realized the disadvantage of the situation, turned to his vassals and shouted as if pleading.

“Don’t just stand still and stop that crazy bitch!” Ignoring the appeal, Daionea stepped in front of the soldiers and raised his voice.

“Sergeant Amias!”

“Yes, yes, ma’am!”

“That guy is the criminal who murdered the Baron. Cut off his head right now!”

“Uhm-”

While Amias was hesitating and watching the vassals, Edwin almost cried.

“Why did I kill my brother! “There is absolutely no reason for that!”

“Why is there no reason for that? “I and everyone in Longville knew that you coveted the Baron’s position!”

“Your brother Baron has already promised me! “I will pass on the territory to myself!”

As the retainers made eye contact and murmured, Edwin shouted as if pleading.

“I was planning to take over after establishing a foundation in the territory with your help! “Why would I kill you?” “What he said is true.” Butler Selma cautiously opened her mouth.

“The Baron told me that since he had no son, he would inherit the inheritance through his half-brother Edwin.”

The vassals’ suspicious gaze turned to the Baroness. Then Daionea bit his lower lip and let out a sigh.

“… … “The Baron said the same thing to me.”

“••••••yes?”

“I will pass on the estate to Edwin.”

“If that’s true, ma’am.”

“but.”

She took off Amias’s outer coat. Wearing only a thin one-piece dress, my nearly god-like body was clearly exposed in front of the retainers and soldiers.

“You changed your mind recently.”

The Baroness gently touched her lower abdomen. Her loose dress clung to her skin, revealing her curves.

“Because you found out I have his successor.”

The vassals and soldiers opened their mouths in astonishment.

Dionea glared at Ah Mias with sparkling eyes.

“Do you understand now? “Edwin found out that I had the Baron’s heir, and he tried to take over by killing both of us.”

“Nonsense, nonsense.”

Edwin swallowed his breath and wriggled like crazy.

“Lies, everything she says is a lie!”

At that moment, Amias’ chin trembled as if he realized something.

“Sergeant Amias! “Cut off his head right now!”

Amias gritted his teeth at Dionea’s intense gaze and angry urging.

“My brother-”

Wow!

Edwin’s head rolled on the floor while he was yelling.

Amias’ ax spear was still emitting intense flames. Because the fire burned the cut surface, not much blood spattered.

“Good job.”

Dionea’s cold eyes looked down at Ed Wynn’s head.

“You have avenged the Baron.”

The hall was filled with strange silence.

Daionea, who staggered back to the bedroom, was greeted by a white-faced maid.

“Boo, ma’am!”

“Julie?”

The old baron was lying on the lap of his young maid, Julia, with a cut on the back of his head. He had a large crack in his neck and his blood was dripping.

“W-my lord, su-breathe!”

“… … what?”

Dionea trembled with her fingertips and approached the Baron.

“Turn, turn off”

The Baron’s hazy eyes turned to his young wife.

“Julie.”

“Yes, yes, ma’am. Shall we call the priest?”

“no.”

Dionea looked down into the Baron’s eyes and spoke in a calm voice.

“Get out.”

“••••••yes?”

“I’ll give you a vacation. “Go home and take care of the pumpkin.”

“Boo, ma’am, what is that?” The green-eyed woman gently stroked her confused maid.

“It’s a festival soon.”

“ma’am.”

“It must be a little lonely with just you three as a family. “Why don’t you invite your cousin in South Harbor?”

“What on earth are you talking about? “My lord-”

The maid, who had been rambling, made eye contact with Daionea and swallowed dry saliva.

“Get out.”

“Huh, huh, yes.” The maid left her bedroom, shaking her shoulders.

“Krrrr-”

While Baron Mallory was scraping the floor, Dionea stood silently for a moment and looked out the window. In the distance, I could see the hill that passes over Mt. Raduil.

“••••••Phew.”

Dionea took a deep breath and knelt down next to the Baron. Then he picked up the dagger lying on the floor.

“Shh.” Pop, pop, pop.

“Get off, get off.”

The intermittent breathing noises stopped.

“Shh.”

Dionea sat on the bed and looked out the window while stroking her lower abdomen.

It was towards the north, where the cold wind blows.
