My Villains Episode 170
42. Chain (2)
The mysterious shimr in Heila’s pupils subsided at so point. I looked at the achromatic gaze and slowly opened my mouth.
“Is that why you ca? Now that I’m pregnant, are you going to take to Ireland?”
“huh.”
“By the way, did you co yourself? I didn’t know Nix would die, so even so, you’re precious.”
“Originally, my uncle was going to co.”
“……Studying out?”
“Count Akele.”
If Count Akele is Phoenix’s father?
” ah.”
That’s right, he’s my cousin.
Since Heila’s mother is Phoenix’s aunt, Count Akele is Heila’s maternal uncle.
This is the mont when you realize the genealogy of the twin royal
families.
“A fish-man army?”
“huh.”
Heila, who had been silent, blinked a couple of tis as I stared at her, then went on to explain.
“It’s a fish-man army that rose from the Narrow Sea.”
“…Um, in the Narrow Sea?”
“huh. I said it’s a rare case. Fish people usually live in the ocean.”
The ‘fish people (魚人族 rfolk)’ are enemies you’ve already t in South Harbor.
Nad ‘Golden Molly’ resembling a golden tropical fish between a perch commonly called ‘grouper’, ‘Unveiled Witch’ disguised as Countess Camilla, ‘Sea Giant’ walking up from the deep water, etc. They were all fish people.
In the ga, they only show their faces intermittently since they appeared in large numbers in Chapter 2.
Did those guys make a massive rise?
“Once a group of fishn start to grow in size, they plunder the coast at random. Leading a fleet and subjugating them is close to impossible.”
A voice that sohow felt like computer narration continued.
“So Count Akele is looking for the head along with the magicians of the duchy. If you kill the boss, the army will quickly disperse.”
for a mont. The fishman chief?
“…do you know what that boss looks like?” “I heard that it looks like a mixture of an octopus and a human.”
“With a coral wand or sothing?”
“that’s right.”
“…under.”
He is the ‘priest of the deep sea’.
Originally, it was a boss monster that should have died in Chapter 2, but maybe it was because the underground lord suddenly appeared, he couldn’t even see his nose.
Because the robber baron, who was supposed to have fled, died in South Harbor, the events in Longville were handled rather easily. Of course, there were quite a few twists and turns.
On the other hand, the priest of the deep sea, who should have died, escaped alive and is doing another joke sowhere in the world. That is, while raising the army.
It’s just a fucking snowball.
While I wiped my face, Haila blinked quietly before continuing.
“Kaisis said he wanted to solidify the succession structure as soon as possible. He said he wanted to see as many candidates as possible.”
“……uh?”
“We are young, but that doesn’t an we have a lot of ti.”
Heyla was still expressionless, even though she was talking nonsense.
“Zakhar and Baluin have precious hands from generation to generation. Even if we hurry up to finish the wedding ceremony and start the union, it will be difficult for more than four people.”
“Wait a minute.”
I raised my hand in bewildernt, and Heyla imdiately fell silent.
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“I’m talking about my duty as a conceived child
.” “…The story goes on its own, but I have no intention of going back to Ireland. I have no intention of becoming a conceived child.”
At that mont, Heila’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
Ellen, on the other hand, with a dying face beside her, had a twinkle in her eyes. I made eye contact with him and shrugged.
“I have work to do. Here’s what I promised Ellen.”
“Okay, promise.”
Ellen nodded quickly, looked back at Heila, and narrowed her brows as if feeling sorry for her.
“I don’t know, but marriage doesn’t happen because one party insists.”
Heila slowly turned her head to look at him.
Seeing sothing cold in his gaze, Ellen smiled broadly.
“What you looking at?”
Is it because of the mood? It feels like the room is rapidly getting colder.
I was about to say sothing, but Heila spoke first.
“It’s not that one side is crying.”
“Oh yeah?”
Ellen stared at Heila and tilted her head.
“I think Poi said he had no intention of marrying you. Did I hear sothing wrong because I hurt my ear?”
Flash. Black eyes glittered like glass beads.
“Nine years ago, when I was 14, I was chosen as Poi’s mate. The two families agreed so, and as soon as Poi turned 15, they were officially engaged. Because my sister died, things went awry for a while, but in the end, fate returned to its original place.”
The low-pitched voice continued quietly and persistently.
“Poi and I are going to have a perfect baby. A child with Poi’s muscles and my blood, Poi’s spirit and my magical powers. The child that the awakened ones of the family long for.”
“Do it in moderation.”
Ellen stiffened her expression and fired at Heila.
“Do you think Poi has to beco a stallion just because you act like a seedling?”
“Ellen is talking too much.”
When Ellen shut up at my dissuade, Heila turned her head this way.
“It’s not such a shallow story.”
“……Uh”
〒『.
“Rember the wishes of the family.”
I t Heila’s eyes quietly.
As befits a mber of the Baluin family, there was no emotion in her eyes.
“Our child will conquer the continent by driving the blood knights. Beco a true blood king.”
The absence of emotions does not an the absence of greed.
Zahakar and Baluin’s bloodline was deeply engraved with obsession and greed that the criminal could not imagine. Occupying the huge land called Ireland for over 500 years was the product of such obsession and greed.
“That is our destiny.”
I saw waves in achromatic eyes.
Twisting and raging waves.
It looked as if it would be swallowed up by the waves at any mont.
I ran out of the room on the pretext of a headache. Heila looked at quietly and nodded, but did not restrain herself.
“Eh-”
As soon as Ellen and I left the room, a figure appeared out of nowhere and ran towards us.
“bundle?”
“trunnion.”
Mungchi was wearing a loose linen garnt. The guy who had run right in front of sneaked a glance at Ellen and stopped.
I smiled and waved at him.
“You said you were hurt? are you okay?”
“Hey. It’s a great beauty.”
“where?”
Mungchi, who took a step closer, held out his left leg and pointed at the side of his thigh, saying, “Here.” The thick bottom of the pants looks like it’s bandaged.
“Is there any problem in walking?”
“Jigi-ang?”
“Are you uncomfortable?”
“Strictly on. It’s not uncomfortable.”
It was so cute that he answered again and again, so I reached out and ruffled his hair.
“Eh-”
Mungchi, who had half-closed his eyes, put on a sad expression when my hand dropped.
“I heard the story.”
“A story?”
“You said you saved Ellen?”
“Do as Poy said.”
“Ok, thanks.”
Hee hee, he stroked the smiling boy’s head again.
” oh.”
The heels of the bunch are lifted as if to greet them before they even touch them. Her face was cute and she pinched the tip of her nose.
“Oh Ellen.”
“…what.”
“Did you say thank you to Mungchi?”
Ellen was making a sullen face with her arms crossed.
“why ?”
“… ‘why ’. He said he would have died if it wasn’t for the group.”
“Did I do it to save ? I just did what you said.”
“Hey you-”
I frowned at once, and the group that was watching us quickly intervened.
“Try it.”
“huh’?”
“Ellen, do it for .”
“…Thank you?”
“Again, I say that it is more usable than it looks. Again, Ellen gave gold coins. I miss that prayer.”
Ellen just pouted her lips while Mungchi spoke intently.
“…what did you do well? What do you dislike about being so fat?” “Who is fat?” “Who are you? what’s the matter?”
Despite my question, Ellen just kept her mouth shut.
Well, I don’t want to open my mouth very much.
By the ti we went out into the courtyard, the noise that had been faintly audible earlier beca clear little by little.
“Line up! You bastards!”
“Strike, poke, pull, hit, poke, pull! What the hell is that difficult!”
In addition to the ferocious shouts, the sound of sweeping the floor with one’s feet and violently clashing with 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 and train them.”
Ellen added to Mungchi’s words.
“The baroness conscripted the villagers. I’m just doing that to train those ragtags.”
“Are you sure you’re going to stand up to Count Tristan’s army?”
“I don’t know. Ever since I ca back, I’ve only been in my room.”
Hearing the guy’s words, I quickly left the Yeongju Hall and saw that there were about two hundred n wielding poles under the command of the training leader Chester. Next to Chester, Utequai sits quietly.
“Hey Utequai!”
The three sergeants and soldiers are very unsophisticated because of their ill will among the conscripts. It wasn’t until after I yelled three or four tis that Utequai turned around.
“…what kind of ss is this?”
As I was waving at him, familiar people among the soldiers ca running.
“Ponyx-sama!”
“What are you guys doing here again?”
It was Amias, the leader, and Steedman, the prick. Amias opened his mouth, wiping the sweat mixed with dirt.
“I was just paying for a al because the training leader asked to lend a hand.”
“Bitch, how much have we done so far, how can we pay for the al again?”
“Because he had nothing else to do…
Amias slurred his words, and Steedman blew his nose and smirked.
“To be honest, I tried to play the role of an insectivore while hanging out next to Phoenix-sama, but I was very short of breath. Ellen-nim and the future wife-”
“The future wife?”
Steedman, who was talking about sothing, shut his mouth when he found Ellen following .
Then Ellen smiled.
“Will you be my wife?”
“…uh”
“Who said that?”
“I think that’s it.”
Then Archer Cole appeared behind the stuttering Steedman. It seems that he found us late because he was helping a group of hunters train.
Cole made eye contact with Steedman for a mont, then greeted with a grave face.
“You are awake. Are you okay?”
“Yeah, as you can see.”
“The lady you were talking about is over there.”
As Ellen narrowed her eyes at Cole’s words, Steedman clapped her hands and pointed to one side of the clearing.
“Ah yes. The baroness. He asked Mira to learn swordsmanship, and he is very enthusiastic. Mira, to the point of getting sick of that toxic girl.”
While Steedman looked around like that, Utequai also appeared at a leisurely pace.
“H- I’ve lived well without being crushed by the phoenix girls.”
“What are you talking about, you bastard?”
After briefly saying hello to the giggling guy, I imdiately expressed my doubts.
“So you really want to fight? They say there are over a thousand troops over there.”
“This is also close to 400. It’s worth trying.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. There are 20 knights and necromancers, but it’s worth a try.”
“If you fight in the field, there is no chance of winning. But if you fight with a wooden barrier, you can survive.”
“Can you hold out?”
“right.”
Amias, who was next to him, added an explanation.
“The Baroness has sent a letter to the capital.”
“Correspondence? By what ans?”
“Mr. Zanavas helped.”
Druid Zanavas? Did you throw a telegram or sothing?
“I will request a verdict from the Supre Court of the Royal Capital. It is about inheritance.”
“Will that solve it?”
“From what I heard from Veldin, there’s nothing else I can do. He said he didn’t want to let go of the people of the province falling into slavery…
Talking about
“O” slaves was a story that Atalanta told .
The story is that if Doyle, the second son of Count Tristan, takes over Longville, he will drive the people of the territory to the gold mines to raise money for the army and then rebel.
“After all…
A few days ago, soone stole the day I was training in the backyard of Yeongjugwan. Following that gaze, I went up to the second floor and t Dionea, and I told her the above story.
At that ti, he said he would think about it, but it seems that he finally made up his mind. It’s an unexpected result…
I scratched my eyebrows and smiled at Utequai.
“But why did you intervene? You say you don’t want to be involved in politics like this?”
“It is not a political ga. It just helps you beco a warrior.”
His gaze was directed toward the conscripts.
Most of them were young, but there were n of various ages, from a young boy who looked like fourteen to a graying man in old age.
“…It’s a bumr to beco a warrior. Can you beco a warrior just by suddenly collecting them like this? Do you think everyone is like you?”
Utequai smiled at my cynicism.
“Yeah, everyone is like .”
“No one is born a warrior. Life only forges you into a warrior.”
“…What kind of nonsense is that?”
“Fate strikes them with a hamr. The road is twofold. Either be broken and die, or be forged and beco a warrior.”
“I can’t hit you with a hamr. However, I am a warrior. It is very easy to make the iron hot.”
I thought over the enigmatic words and nodded quietly.
Leaving Utequai behind, I t Dionea. Around the ti he entered the courtyard with her, unexpected news ca from the gateway.
“Why are they here?”
While Dionea questioned the ssenger, I quickly ran to the lord’s house.
Just then, along the road leading from the gateway, a man of about 20 was running, smoking dust.
The lead knight made eye contact with and burst into laughter.
“haha! An early reunion!”
The knight jumped off his horse almost as if performing a trick. A blue cloak fluttered like waves, and a handso man with a handso mustache spread his arms.
“You’ve grown bigger sir! Now you’re just like Ankir!”
“Sir Langboldt.”
I smiled at the sa ti and hugged Langbolt Earl Shore, a knight nicknad ‘The Shouting Wave’.
Behind him, Ariad Barin, an old knight known as ‘The Silver Prince’s Viper’, got off his horse.
Two knights of Prince Ulkar visited Longville.
