Episode 236: Just as I received it
Late night.
Black storm clouds filled the surroundings, and a black space began to open in the dark night sky.
The soldiers guarding the mansion of Count Belto felt that something was unusual and looked up at the sky.
Instead of the sky where the stars should be twinkling, there was only pitch black darkness.
“What is that?”
“What is that… … .”
The soldiers’ questioning voices.
At that time, a huge black sphere slowly emerged from the black hole.
A black sphere with hundreds or thousands of human faces carved into it, with something black writhing around.
At that time, when everyone was frozen by its hideousness, the black sphere fell quickly, pressing down on the mansion with enormous pressure.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
A huge binge.
Although it was defended by anti-magic defenses, its power was incredible.
The soldiers who witnessed the magic fall were all destroyed without even a single cry as their flesh was crushed by the fragments.
After the bombing ended, black lasers were shot out one after another at the speed of light in the black space.
The black laser fell once, twice, three, four times in succession, instantly penetrating the anti-magic defenses and destroying everything in the surrounding area.
And the aftermath destroyed all living things in the mansion, including all soldiers and servants.
“Kuhkkk, ah, that’s too bad. “You have to listen to the screaming voice.”
Feeling disappointed, Merphis used all her might to fire one or two more spells and slowly seeped into the darkness.
So that no one can find the culprit.
* * *
Kwakwang, kwaaaaang-
A huge binge.
Yukiel, who was drinking tea at Elle’s headquarters, raised the corner of his mouth.
“It has begun.”
Anti-magic defenses were spread out.
However, the level was not that great.
If it’s the level of Merphis, you can break through it with just two or three uses of magic.
The Count Belto family is not famous, but it is still a magical family.
If you were a magical family, you would have to install a thick anti-magic defense even if it cost a lot of money, but it was foolish.
Otherwise, there is no barrier priest with that level of skill in the current era.
“With this, we have completely lost touch with the noble faction.”
Count Belto has entered the palace and is currently not at the mansion.
I deliberately chose this time to return what I received from him.
The Marquis of Arha held out his hand, but it meant nothing since the King had sworn to be with him.
Now all that’s left is to finish the subjugation and hit them when the time is right and the situation is right.
“Off… … . It’s the head… … .”
“Are you awake?”
“here is… … .”
“This is headquarters. The situation has been roughly sorted out, so don’t worry and get some rest. “I lost too much blood.”
Miltis slowly closed his eyes and weakly opened his mouth.
“thank you. For saving me… … .”
“It was nothing. It happened because of me. You were treated as dead for now. It could be dangerous, so I am hiding in a branch far from the royal capital for the time being. “I will sort out the situation soon.”
“Whoa… … . Should I leave now?”
“Now that the king’s name has been lost, I guess I’ll just have to take the victory sword and walk away. “We have to subdue it.”
“haha. Still, it looks like Stoll won.”
“Of course, whose student are you?”
Yukiel chuckled and took a sip of his tea.
Starting with him, Yukiel spent the night nursing Miltis and talking about various things that had happened.
It was a time when the morning sun was rising high and pedestrians on the street were busy walking.
Yukiel adjusted his clothes and walked slowly as he suddenly heard a commotion coming from the first floor.
“Who are you and what’s going on?”
“You are being detained on charges of murdering the countess, her daughter, and several other servants!”
“Detention? “What is the proof that I did it?”
“Evidence must be examined gradually. You have a record of leading the undead and using force against Count Belto yesterday. Therefore, he must be detained as a suspect and headed to the royal capital detention room.”
Yukiel looked at the knights and soldiers behind him.
The knights of the kingdom’s garrison and the security establishment autonomous unit surrounded Elle’s headquarters in layers.
“So, there is no physical evidence?”
“There is no physical evidence, but he is limited to a suspect until the investigation is completed.”
Stoll, who was standing behind Yukiel, slowly drew his sword.
However, Yukiel gently pushed Stoll’s sword in and made him land on it again.
“Why does a man who should be in audience with His Majesty to receive the victory sword pull out the sword?”
Yukiel chuckled and ruffled Stoll’s hair.
“Well, let’s go then. “Is there anything wrong with being a suspect?”
Yukiel chuckled and walked away with them.
Yukiel followed the kingdom guard to the detention room, closed his eyes and enjoyed the silence while wearing a restraint.
At that time, when I was meditating in the quiet silence, someone came close to the iron bars in the darkness.
“You damn bastard!” “You must have done that!?”
When I heard the voice, it was Count Belto.
Yukiel slowly raised the corner of his mouth and tilted his head, glaring at him.
“What do you mean? “What do I do?”
“dare… … . How dare you destroy my mansion!?”
“I don’t know what the misunderstanding was, but don’t make false accusations.”
“Shut up! Do you think I don’t know?! “Didn’t you do it?!”
In response to his struggles, Yukiel raised the corner of his mouth, showing his pure white teeth just as he had been injured.
“So, is there any evidence?”
“W-what!?”
“You insult me when you have no evidence. “Can I challenge you to a duel?”
“This, this, this… … . “Knock me to death!!!”
Count Belto held the iron bars tightly and shook them like crazy.
Then, he glared at Yukiel with eyes full of hatred.
“Yesterday, yesterday… … . “It was the day my wife and her daughter came to see me from the county.”
“Ho~ really? “I didn’t know that either.”
“Because of what you did yesterday… … . “My wife and daughter were crushed to death to the point where they couldn’t even find any clothing!!”
“Oh my~! That’s a shame. “But I didn’t do it?”
“I will definitely, definitely kill you.”
“Tsk! What a shame! You seem to care so much about your wife and daughter, but if you kneel and bow your head, I might make you into an undead specially. how is it?”
“this person… … . “Nenooom!!”
“ah! Of course, that’s only when there’s a corpse. Tsk tsk tsk tsk. “There’s no trace, so I guess even undead can’t save me?”
“Aaaaa!!”
Count Belto frantically shook the cage and threw his head back against the edge of the cage.
Then he shed bloody tears and expressed his suppressed anger.
“evidence… … . evidence! I will definitely find it for you. If not, I will make one and have you put to death according to the laws of the kingdom!!”
“Oh~! I like that kind of confidence! But, what should I do? “How long can you detain me here?”
“… … .”
“I have received the king’s command. I have to go defeat the monster soon. In other words, no matter what you do, I’m getting out of here.”
Yukiel stood up and smiled in victory.
And at that time, a knight was seen hurriedly running from afar and whispering something to his superior.
Yukiel, seeing him, smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
“Look. “You came just in time.”
With those words, he forcibly cut off the restraints on both wrists and stood up.
When the knight saw that, his eyes widened.
Even if you’re a mage, how can you unlock a magic restraint ball so easily?
That means that he could have escaped at any time.
The knight swallowed dry saliva and carefully opened the door of the cage.
“This is an order from His Majesty the King. “This is Baron Agnes’s order to enter the palace according to the king’s orders.”
At the knight’s words, Yukiel carefully straightened his wrinkled clothes and came out of the cage.
Yukiel, who was walking along with the knight who came to pick him up at the king’s command, looked back at Count Belto, who was trembling with anger, and continued speaking.
“Try hard. Please search diligently until I return to the royal capital. If not, why not create one? Tsk tsk.”
With those words, I left the detention center.
It doesn’t matter if evidence is manipulated for various reasons.
By the time we finish subjugating and return to the capital, we will already be in an all-out war with the noble faction.
As he entered the palace after receiving the king’s order, Yukiel happened to encounter the Marquis of Arha getting out of the carriage.
And then, the two quietly walked towards the royal palace with an awkward silence.
“In the end, is this how you responded to my proposal?”
“It was the noble faction that killed my people first. “I actually thought you changed your mind there?”
“Didn’t you touch Count Belto’s son before that?”
“Wasn’t the hand extended to me taking all of that into account? “You’re not trying to say that you can’t control Count Belto with your influence, right?”
“… … .”
“If that’s the case, it’s disappointing for the noble faction, but it’s even more disappointing for their abilities.”
Marquis Arha glared at Yukiel with a cold expression.
It doesn’t really matter what happens to Count Belto.
However, behind Count Belto is the Marquis of Demelon.
Marquess Demelon, another member of the aristocratic faction.
Aside from Belto, we cannot ignore his wife’s family, the Marquess of Demelon.
In fact, the one who died was also the daughter of the Marquis Demelon.
‘That’s it.’
Whatever the reason, the final road to be with him was blocked.
Now, as an enemy of the noble faction, we just have to kill him somehow and get rid of him.
“It seems like you are destined to be with the noble faction.”
“That’s right. “I was a little worried.”
With those words, Yukiel and the Marquis Arha closed their mouths and entered the palace.
Entering the royal palace where many ministers were seated, Yukiel raised his head, looked at the king, and quietly paid his respects.
In response, King Henry Belcarte unconsciously raised his hand to welcome Yukiel.
However, Henry Belcarte, startled by the number of eyes watching, quickly lowered his hand and stared straight ahead.
Before the royal palace meeting began, 20 prominent geniuses who ranked high in the Akaman Swordsmanship Competition entered the royal palace with a pious look.
“your majesty! “These are the people who achieved high results in this swordsmanship competition.”
A servant standing next to the king politely introduced the names of those in order from 1st to 20th, according to the ranking of the swordsmanship competition.
“I would like to meet Your Majesty’s Majesty!”
All 20 participants bowed their heads and saluted the King.
King Henry Belcarte, seeing him, nodded and spoke softly.
“Okay, raise your head.”
The prosecutors immediately raise their heads as soon as the king’s name is given.
All of them were undergraduate students at prestigious academies or prosecutors with a promising future at a young age.
And, among them, there was one who had a particularly strong presence despite his short stature.
Henry Belcart looked at the small, young Stoll with a surprised expression.
“I heard this competition was even more competitive. “I was busy with state affairs, so I couldn’t directly attend this competition, but I can get a glimpse of their level by looking at their spirit.”
“… … .”
“Especially Stol Vallière. You are still so young and immature. However, despite this, he defeated all the prominent competitors and won the championship with an incredible feat, so his future is very bright.”
“… … .”
“I can’t help but be happy because the future of the kingdom is so bright. So, I would like to grant your small wishes along with the Victory Sword.”
King Henry, with a satisfied expression, slowly got up from his seat and approached the participants.
Soon after, he slowly stretched out his hand, and a waiting servant politely held out the victory sword to him.
“First of all, the special victory sword ‘Carib’ is awarded to the winner. Stall Vallière, raise your head.”
“yes. your majesty!”
“I heard about your outrageous strength. You said it shocked everyone in the venue, right? Your future is so bright. So, I want to grant your small wish. “If you have any wishes, please tell me.”
Stoll quietly lowered his gaze.
Yukiel’s heart was already shaking as he looked at that stall.
I was imagining what kind of bullshit a second-year middle school soldier would spew out and embarrass all the ministers.
And then, Stoll carefully looked into the king’s eyes and began speaking.
“Stoll Vallière, I have one wish.”
“Speak. “If it’s not difficult, I’ll listen.”
“I want to restore the Ers Plain and subdue monsters with you, Master! Please forgive me!”
“W-what?”
King Henry Belcarte stuttered in embarrassment.
Why does Ers Plain appear out of nowhere here?
It is the royal order given to Yukiel to subdue the Ers Plain.
But who on earth is the teacher that subdues the Ers Plain?
“What did you mean? “Who is your teacher?”
In response to the king’s question, Stoll quietly turned his head and looked at Yukiel.
“Standing over there is Baron Yukiel Agnes.”
Yukiel was dumbfounded by Stoll’s sudden behavior and burst into laughter.
I didn’t know you could say that as a wish.
Meanwhile, the king, who knew the truth about Yukiel, trembled violently in his eyes.
‘No, that doesn’t make sense.’
Isn’t he clearly a great mage?
But how can you have a prosecutor as your disciple?
And, that question was the same for all the ministers of the royal palace.
Because they all knew that Yukiel was a mage.
“Well, that can’t be possible! Baron Agnes is a sorceress. There is no way he could teach swordsmanship.”
“your majesty. My teacher… … . “He is a stronger wizard than anyone else, but he is also well-versed in swordsmanship.”
At Stoll’s words, the king turned his head and looked at Yukiel.
‘No way! ‘Demon Swordsman!!’
Henry Belcarte was greatly embarrassed.
So, was it because he believed this that he provoked the two Masters like that before?
A story about not only using magic, but also reaching a great level as a swordsman.
The King began speaking with difficulty in a trembling voice.
“Baron Agnes… … . “Is what this person says true?”
Yukiel raised the corner of his mouth in bewilderment at the king’s words.
‘Kuhkkk, that stupid guy… … .’
I did something useless.
However, because of that, the atmosphere became more mature.
The ministers in the royal palace all looked shocked.
Yukiel shrugged his shoulders and spoke quietly.
“It’s not wrong. your majesty. “It is true that I actually gave him strength.”
At those words, all the ministers in the palace whispered.
Even the ministers who claim to be neutral, regardless of whether they belong to the king or the aristocracy.
