Episode 50
Translator : Miss Editor : Aru
“Get out!”
“…….”
“Co on out! What are you doing? Get out here right now!”
Lucas’s fruitless empty cry repeated.
There was an echo of his voice in the hallway.
As the tension faded and was filled with questions instead, a different voice soon broke in.
“Excuse , Viscount.”
When I looked back, Sir Davery had an unbearable face…
“It’s sad, but no matter how much you call, they won’t co. No, they couldn’t co. The people you’ve been waiting for.”
“What….?”
“Well, I don’t know if you have the skill to call people from the underworld though.”
What he ant was clear…
Lucas opened his eyes.
As if he’s a really good person, kind words followed.
“Because this is not all of the people that can be seen here.”
Only after hearing that did I think of one obvious thing that I had forgotten for a mont.
That moustache villain in front of is actually an extra.
The real villain was Ash.
‘The Dark Guy.’
If they were spread all over the empire, they would have been here in the territory. Or nearby. Isn’t it too easy to organize a group of power so quietly without anyone knowing?
Lucas, who had no way of knowing the fact, shook his head and denied the situation.
“Don’t be ridiculous, it can’t be! You don’t know what kind of people they are! I didn’t hear that the troops in the capital mansion had moved. The troops here…….”
“It’s a dangerous idea to think that you know everything.”
Sir Davery, who said so, pulled back the sword from his waist.
“I think I’ve been kind enough, and now, would you like to et them in the underworld to hear the details in person?”
Lucas turned pale.
No matter who heard it, it was a death sentence.
‘Byebye.’
I said good-bye to my opponent in advance.
We see each other’s faces once every few years, so we weren’t really close, but it’s still the last greetings.
‘I hope you will not be born a villain in your next life, or even you will be born as a villain, I hope you will be a sane villain who won’t be planned to commit suicide.’
In the anti, Lucas’ back, who had retreated behind the stumbling movent, touched the wall.
“Oh, my God, it can’t be…….. no way.”
Being driven into a corner, he was like a rat at a dead end. And, as is the case with the villain who has nowhere to retreat, Lucas suddenly began to speak unquestioned words at this mont.
“I……I just did what I had to do. I did what I deserved!”
Sir Davery didn’t slow down.
He seems to have no intention of listening kindly to the villain’s last words.
Lucas’s words quickened.
“You know why I did this? Because I had to correct what was wrong. I did it because no one did it. A rotten country, a world-eating absurdity…….”
“I’m not curious about it, Viscount. Save it and et your friend in the other world and talk about it.”
He’s too cold. But I have the sa opinion as him.
But it was then. There was nothing else to do, so Lucas’ expression, which he was observing as if he was watching, suddenly changed.
‘Huh?’
It was when I thought that the distorted day had beco strangely bright.
“Angela! Now!”
‘Angela?’
I looked back unconsciously at the familiar na.
A small figure stood facing this side of the hallway, where the lights were dimd and her figures looked blurred.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
It wasn’t until a small sob ca out that I knew there was sothing in her hand.
‘An arrow?’
“I’m so sorry.”
At first glance, I felt like Angela was crying. However, I could not confirm in detail why.
Because Angela threw the arrow at before that.
The scene flowed very slowly.
As soon as Ash realized that the arrow was pointing at , he imdiately grabbed and tried to pull in. But I was standing on the left side of Ash. The injured left arm may not have moved at his will. It seed to that Ash, who seed to be hesitating, soon moved his whole body without ti to think.
Ti seed to have stopped for a mont.
“Ahhhh!”
Bessie scread in the hallway.
I ca to my senses by her scream. As the ti stopped, a different scene ca into my eyes.
The sll of blood struck into my nose. It was not known whether it was originally blood that was overwriting his body before, or it’s really his blood.
“Ha, ha! Good job. Well done, Angela! I thought if I aid at the Princess, it would hit you instead! I was right.”
Lucas burst into laughter with joy.
“Your Excellency!”
I stared at Ash, which stood in my body as if stiffened and wrapped around . There was an arrow on his right shoulder. Even though I was looking at it with my eyes, it didn’t seem real.
“What do you say, Duke? It’s not just an arrow. The arrow was covered by a special poison for the monstrous like you. Can you tell your impressions?”
It felt like sothing was blocking the inside of my neck. Even the screams did not co out imdiately.
“That son of a bitch……!”
“Angela! What are you doing? Co on. The rest of them are in turn, Kerhyuk!”
“Everything you do is stupid and sloppy.”
His breathing was harsh, but his pronunciation was clear.
Lucas, who was hit exactly by the sword thrown by Ash, falls back, leaving only his death throes.
Ash made a mockery of his falling opponent.
“If you knew I was a monster, you should’ve prepared sothing stronger.”
“Your Excellency! Are you alright……”
But after spitting out the words, Ash also fell down.
I shouted a scream only then.
“Ash!”
* * *
I don’t know how things went by.
I sat idly by the bedside.
A doctor’s voice was heard.
“You don’t have to worry too much.”
He was a prominent doctor who ca down from the capital, not the doctor from the mansion here.
He said Ash called him imdiately to treat a potential addict after he learned of the existence of the hallucinogenic drug.
He arrived in the territory at sunset and was rushed to the mansion as soon as Ash was hurt.
“Fortunately, the treatnt was quick. He was bleeding less. Even if you’re away now, he’ll get up in no ti if he finds his strength.”
Ash closed his eyes and lay in bed with no movent.
Instead, a white bandage was wrapped around the right shoulder on the upper body without a stitch.
I managed to open my mouth.
“The poison…”
“Yes?”
“He said there was poison. It’s not a common poison.”
“If you’re talking about what was buried in the arrow, that’s fine. I’m careful to say this as a doctor, but His Excellency has a very different constitution from average people.”
The doctor, who glanced to the affected area after the treatnt, continued.
“You don’t have to worry about it because the recovery level of the body is quite high.”
It was followed by a soft word that said, “So you can relax.”
This was the third ti I’ve heard this.
I closed and opened my eyes.
I purposely closed and opened my eyelids slowly, but nothing happened in the anti, such Ash’s awakening.
“……Thank you.”
“No, it’s nothing.”
I knew that I was the reason why the doctor, who was allowed to leave the place, kept watching and repeated the sa words.
I felt grateful for his consideration.
But apart from it, I couldn’t really put down my uneasiness or relax my mind as he said, no matter how reassuring he was.
I clenched my fists above my knees for nothing.
‘Is this what he felt at that ti?’
Is this what Ash felt?
When I jumped in to save Ari and nearly drowned in a pond.
On the contrary, Ash stayed beside lying unconscious all night.
‘I did a mistake.’
At that ti, I did sothing really bad.
I was wrong. Really.
With my mouth shut, I stared at Ash’s eyelids which were closed and not moving.
“Lady.”
Then I heard a knock. Sir Davery, who knocked on the open door, stepped inside.
“We have sent a ssage to the Emperor. It’ll be there before dawn, they’ll send soone to the territory in the afternoon.”
I just nodded at his news.
Lucas is dead.
He was struck by a sword thrown by Ash and died on the spot.
But the mont the charges of treason beca clear, Lucas dared not be free even in his death.
The Imperial Court would like to transport bodies.
And there were a few additional sinners left. Those who have been involved in what Lucas has done, but who are still alive and not dead.
‘Angela.’
Angela was imdiately caught after Lucas had beco like that.
As if she had no intention of running away, she did not disobey and remained obedient.
Angela had been seriously addicted to hallucinogens.
According to the doctor’s advice, Lucas said that the hallucinogen he had been secretly selling is an unusually strong type among these drugs.
In particular, withdrawal symptoms are severe, and if you stop taking it suddenly while you are deeply addicted, it could lead to death in severe cases.
The hand tremor I saw was an early symptom of withdrawal symptoms.
‘Maybe she was trying to disobey Lucas’
So if that’s why she didn’t get the hallucinogens in ti and showed symptoms. But it must have been hard to bear. It was hard to imagine what the pain would be like if it was serious. Angela decided to hand over her personal information to the palace as a sinner.
It wasn’t that I didn’t feel compassion for her situation, but the cri she had already committed was too great for to forgive her.
Actually, I didn’t feel confident if I could forgive her.
I threw away the hairpin.
It was bitter, but that was all.
And that maid who took on the role of kidnapping but failed, which Sir Davery left on when she fainted.
As you might have guessed, she was a mber of a group that was really trying to do treason.
In the process of questioning her, there was quite a long story about why she had no choice but to plot treason, but they didn’t want to know about that so they didn’t listen to her.
