Roguish Guard in a Medieval Fantasy Chapter 92

92

Golden Bell

“It’s hard to breathe because of the commoner smell.”

As soon as Fener appeared, the bar became quiet.

‘oh···.’

I was slightly impressed by the radical remark.

It was a long time since I saw a real medieval nobleman.

‘But doesn’t he have a title yet?’

When you suddenly have a question and are contemplating whether to raise your hand and ask.

Young-ae, with a similar expression to Google, who received Berman’s confession, came in.

Adela and Ben come in after that.

Adela, who came in expressionlessly, noticed me and craned her neck back. It seemed as if someone had pulled her hair from behind.

‘Did you really run away?’

Adela originally didn’t come out to the outside world, but she would occasionally appear when there was an inspection.

But when I told him I hadn’t seen him lately, he seemed to have been avoiding me.

When Adela, who had been in an odd position, made eye contact with me, she bowed her head deeply toward me and looked away as if nothing had happened.

‘I guess you’re not thinking of evading the issue. Well, Adolf saw it too.’

After that, a familiar face came in.

‘The original compliment vending machine?’

Priest Blian, whose complexion had improved, stood between the two.

‘Are you a notary public?’

According to the rules of the order, an unmarried girl who went out with another man had to have a notary public present. The notary public was usually a priest or a monk.

There was a very complex web of interests at play: the church’s desire to create jobs, its concern for its children, and a strange mix of medieval sexual ideals and discipline.

Of course, it was a very old tradition that few people kept. Some even thought that having a notary public was an insult.

‘I guess something went wrong with Fener.’

The soldiers coming in after that.

Among them, there was a familiar face.

“Oh, buddy! You’re here.”

Ben came up to me and said hello.

Adolgu and a knight who were standing next to him suddenly got up, talked to Adela, and hurriedly left the bar.

Since Adela followed Yeong-ae out, it seemed like she had returned in a hurry because there were no knights in the Yeongju Castle at the moment.

“I didn’t know there was such a large pub in Cassadic.”

Ben, holding my hand, looked around in admiration.

The expression on the face of the old man behind him was not good, but Ben didn’t seem to care.

‘Well, he’s the eldest son of a baron… so he must be a knight now.’

It was a funny situation where the knight who was attached as an escort had a higher rank than the target.

Of course, it was ambiguous to see him as completely inferior, as he was the eldest son who would become the next lord if nothing else came up.

“Sir Ben, this place smells so bad of commoners that I can’t stand it…”

The old man frowned.

“I’m fine! I’m so hungry, I need to eat something right now!”

Youngae, who had been yelling, came towards the table where I was.

As Youngae sat down, everyone at the table stood up.

As I was about to get up, Youngae looked at me with puppy-like eyes and muttered softly.

‘Tsk.’

Those eyes reminded me of a Jindo puppy I raised a long time ago, so I sat down again.

Nova and Hannah stood slightly behind me.

The two of them took a firm stance, but it didn’t feel solid at all.

‘No, why doesn’t anyone notice him?’

Meanwhile, I was still dumbfounded by the sight of the weasel standing behind the door.

No one seemed to notice when two knights entered and soldiers from the Fener family stepped in.

I shook my head at the winking weasel.

When Youngae sat down at the table, Adela reacted violently.

Adela, with a crumpled expression like a death row inmate heading to the gallows, hesitated for a moment before standing behind Yeong-ae.

And somehow, in order to avoid eye contact with me, he looked up at the ceiling in an exaggerated manner.

However, Adela was horrified because there was a chandelier with my sculpture on it on the ceiling.

‘The guard dog shift 2 also needs to be fully operational.’

Adela’s eyes had become much kinder, and it seemed like she would soon have to have a guard dog interview.

“Then at least sit by the window.”

The tongue-licking old man grabbed his nose and pointed to the side.

“I’m already sitting down. Don’t you know that if a girl moves her seat, she won’t be able to have children? That’s a big problem!”

Youngae shook her head firmly.

The old man waved at me. I was once again amazed at the gesture that one might make to a dog.

Originally, that was the default for the nobility.

It’s just that the kids I’ve met recently have been in particularly good shape.

The son of a baron, not even a count, is stretching out like that.

It was a little unexpected.

“Levilian. What kind of rude behavior is that? This is not Bolt Castle.”

Ben pointed at him with a stern face.

“Sir Ben, what courtesy are you talking about to a commoner?”

The old man answered without a moment’s hesitation.

I was once again amazed by his genuine nobility.

‘I think I know why Young-ae said no.’

It was the complete opposite of Yeong-ae, who treated commoners kindly.

The atmosphere became even more tense as Zhang Zi continued to speak.

‘It’s fun.’

It felt like I was watching a morning drama.

I leaned back in my chair to see more comfortably.

“Aaron, you don’t have to get up. Levilian, be careful with your words. This is what I say as a knight.”

Ben glared at Zhang Zi and spoke firmly, as if it seemed as if my appearance was about to happen.

“That’s right. A man from the Fener family is persecuting the residents of Castle Cassadic. This is a clear abuse of authority.”

Adela glanced at me, chewed her lip, and interrupted Ben.

Things were getting more and more interesting.

If he was the eldest son of a baron, he was a common nobleman, since he had not yet inherited the title. A common nobleman was clearly below a knight.

“If you can’t sit down because it smells, go ahead! I’m fine!”

At that time, Young-ae also took care of him.

‘···indeed.’

I looked at the cornered elder and waited.

At times like this, if you are a true noble…

“Tsk, I understand as a noble. It’s okay. I can tolerate this level of smell. There are many smelly commoners in our Bolt Castle too.”

The sight of him sitting shamelessly on a chair without changing his expression at all.

‘You are truly a noble.’

I was amazed again.

Even though Jangja kept talking about ‘commoners’ while looking at me, I didn’t feel bad.

Of course, I couldn’t be offended by those who shit in a hole in the toilet and brag about being nobles, since I used to use a bidet.

Rather, it was fun.

“Tsk, bring out the food. I’m eating it to see Miss Vivian.”

The old man waved his hand.

Yeong-ae’s face was distorted, but she turned her head away, unable to say anything.

“I’m sorry.”

Ben apologized briefly and stood behind Zhang Zi.

As a result, Jangja and Yeongae sat on either side of me.

‘Is this blind date intuition?’

Hannah went inside. She gestured to the people around her and put her hand under the counter table.

Nova holding something and the guys surrounding them nonchalantly.

‘···Why are they like this?’

The weasel, still standing behind the door, muttered, licking his lips with his tongue.

– Do you feel it?

The weasel seemed to be asking on behalf of the children around him.

I shook my head.

Only uncivilized medieval people would solve problems with violence.

‘The Fener side was famous for drinking well.’

It seemed like there was no need to hit him.

“···Haha. To meet Honorary Monk Aaron here.”

Compliment Vending Machine Blian sat down across from me and sneaked a bowl of stew.

It was exquisite timing for the church, as the abbot had dragged everyone out earlier to attend evening prayer.

“Miss Vivian, you are always beautiful.”

“Phew… Thank you.”

“No problem.”

Although his tone was not at all grateful, Zhangzi nodded his head in satisfaction, as if he had no clue.

The compliment vending machine ate its food in a hurry as if it had been starving for several days.

Next, the food came out, and there was a lot of strange white sauce poured over the intestines’ meat.

I glanced back and saw the guards smiling with satisfaction.

“It smells good for a commoner’s product.”

The old man cut the meat without any concern.

‘This kid looks like the kids have been spitting on him all along.’

A cold meal followed.

The old man didn’t pay any attention to me.

It was like they were treating me like I didn’t even exist.

At that, I stuck my tongue out. Judging by the wrinkles on Zhang Zi’s face, it seemed like he was looking at the whites of his eyes.

“As Vivian’s coming of age year approaches, and considering the child she will have, I think it would be best to get married within this year.”

“···Father will decide.”

I took a sip of my beer and surveyed the situation.

Jangja, who was not at all discouraged by Yeong-ae’s cold answer, continued to pressure her into marriage.

I opened my mouth in a hurry when I saw Youngae clenching her fist.

If Young-ae had just hit that guy on the forehead, his skull would have definitely been shattered.

It was a bit odd for a murder to occur at the opening ceremony.

Since it was an opening ceremony, it was better to end it neatly and in a gentlemanly manner.

‘He must have a lot of money since he’s the eldest son there.’

The calculation is complete.

“Wow, your meat-cutting skills are truly exquisite. Those of noble bloodline are truly extraordinary!”

Everyone’s attention was drawn to my unexpected compliment.

“We commoners eat with our hands, but you even carry a knife… I can feel the high honor of the Fener family.”

I thought it was a forced compliment, but it didn’t matter.

Anyway, he saw me as an ignorant commoner.

“Ahem… You’ve got quite the eye for detail. Yes, we Feners learn real table manners from a young age. Unlike the nobles who only pretend to be, Feners are the real deal.”

The corners of Zhang Zi’s mouth rose slightly as if my prediction was correct.

On the contrary, Youngae’s face was crumpled, but Youngae’s reaction didn’t really matter.

The intestines put the cut meat into their mouths.

“Kiya! You ate it without getting a single drop on your lips! You are truly classy! This is the prestigious Fener family!!”

I showered him with ignorant praise.

“Ahem···, you’re a commoner, but you have a keen eye for detail.”

The corners of Jangja’s mouth rose at the continuous stream of praise.

‘As expected, the opening ceremony is the Golden Bell.’

Because there were so many of them, it was a hassle to count them one by one.

I smiled brightly as I watched the noble fool ring the golden bell at the opening ceremony.

***

‘I thought you were a bandit when I first saw you, but you have a keen eye for detail.’

Fener’s eldest son, Levilian, felt very happy.

As soon as I entered the bar, I was in a bad mood because of the strong smell of commoners and the arrogant stares from the guys.

But there was a commoner who seemed to be blind and recognized the true value.

‘I thought they were bandits when I first saw them.’

He was a man with a very fierce appearance, so I was reluctant to approach him and he was the kind of man who made me want to draw my sword for no reason, but I quite liked his personality.

For a commoner, he had a keen eye for detail and was able to see through his own worth.

“Ugh… You fell because of those damn guys!”

“That’s right, on the last day, he told me to go home for no reason! There’s a guy next to me who’s even more pathetic than me. Since he can’t tell me why, he must have used connections. There’s nothing I can do about guys who came from the countryside.”

He communicated so well with me that I could easily tell him stories that I had never told anyone before.

‘Vivian is watching too.’

Levilian nodded at the insight of the guy who recognized true value. Vivian’s expression also seemed to have improved a little.

Since he had lost contact with the Black Blood, his marriage with Vivian had to happen.

Even if I see blood.

certainly.

“You don’t recognize this man among men! You are all clearly idiots!”

Levilian laughed heartily at the sight of him getting so absorbed in the action that he even got angry. What an idiot.

“The men of men. The Fener family, made up of the men of men, are said to be very good at drinking. Is that true?”

“Of course not. I’ve never been drunk even once.”

It was a bit of a random question, but being the ignorant commoner that I was, I didn’t try to understand the flow of the conversation.

“Oh! What a man who is so handsome and good at drinking! It wasn’t for nothing that he promised to marry Miss Vivian!”

It was a given. Being able to drink well was a basic qualification for a man.

Levilian nodded his head quickly at Youngae’s faint smile.

“I’ll have a drink too, would you like to join me? Of course I’ll lose, but I’ll brag to my grandchildren that I made a great deal with the Fener family.”

‘Alcohol···.’

Levilian looked at the man for a moment.

He was a man so big that he could be counted on one hand among the biggest people I’ve ever seen in my life.

It felt like we could drink alcohol by the bucket, but…

“Isn’t it great if a man drinks well?”

“Good!”

The situation became unavoidable as the idiot asked Young-ae while whining.

If I left it out here, it would definitely be a joke.

I didn’t think I would lose. Alcohol isn’t something you drink based on your size, but on your mental strength.

“Very well. I will do you the honor of pouring a glass to me.”

“Oh my – it is truly an honor!”

It was a bit of a sly behavior that didn’t match his size, but strangely enough, it suited him well.

thud.

As soon as the man finished speaking, a large cask of alcohol was placed next to him.

“I’m really excited to see who wins!”

Levilian grabbed his glass at the sight of Yeong-ae’s bright face.

“Then I’ll have a drink first.”

The corner of the man’s mouth wrinkled slightly.

From then on, I drank alcohol without stopping.

Perhaps because he was an ignorant commoner, he drank the alcohol without even savoring its taste.

Because of that, Levilian had to drink much faster than usual.

I had no choice but to match it because Youngae was watching me with sparkling eyes from the side.

Levilian felt relieved to see the man who seemed relaxed even though he hadn’t had a single drink.

Despite his fierce appearance, the man seemed to be weak to alcohol.

But it didn’t fall over, perhaps because of its size.

Although his pronunciation was garbled and his body was swaying, the man finished his drink.

‘It’s impossible now.’

Levilian looked down at his glass and gave a small sip.

I drank so quickly that I couldn’t even count how many glasses I had.

“Oh, oh, oh… Are you saying you can’t drink?”

I felt full of alcohol, but I couldn’t back out.

Young-ae, the knights, and the lowly commoners looking on with excited faces from the side.

There, the opponent was shaking precariously as if he would collapse at any moment.

If you drink a little more···.

Levilian couldn’t tell whether he was drinking wine, cider, or beer.

He still felt shaky, so I picked up my glass again.

Just a little more···.

‘Why… why… don’t you fall down?’

It was a guy who had been nagging at me for a long time.

Even though a lot of time had passed, the guy didn’t fall, he just seemed dangerous.

Losing to alcohol was not acceptable in the Fener household.

If that fact got to his father, he would surely be met with an even greater outcry than if it had been reported in the article.

“for a moment.”

Levilian opened his mouth, looking at the full glass.

“Oh, you’re giving up, aren’t you? Then, you’re saying that I’m a man among men….”

The guy mumbled something at an ambiguous point.

If you dare to mention Fener, I will yell at you and turn the table over.

Levilian focused on the fact that his opponent was a stupid commoner. There was no need for him, a nobleman, to be on the same level as him.

“Soldiers are like the servants of a nobleman. Do you know that?”

“yeah-.”

The way he spoke, as if he was dragging his feet, really annoyed me, but I tried to ignore it.

“If you have limbs and don’t use them, you’re an idiot. I guess I’ll use my limbs a little.”

Even if he thought about it, it was a far-fetched claim, but after all, he was a noble and the other person was a commoner.

Of the two, the nobleman was always right.

“So you’re saying that men buy you alcohol? That’s really outrageous.”

“Ahem! No… that’s not it. I’m saying I’ll drink it from the arms and legs.”

I kindly explained to the idiot who was making such a strange interpretation how stupid he was, and then called the soldiers who were standing guard behind him.

A total of six people.

As they were private soldiers of the Fener family, each and every one of them was a shareholder worthy of being talked about.

“···dastardly!”

My hands trembled at Youngae’s arrogant muttering, but I held it back. We haven’t gotten married yet.

Levilian stepped aside slightly.

A bearded soldier sat down.

“Lord Levilian! Your beard has grown like this – oh my – it’s dizzying.”

‘Tsk, did I change it for nothing?’

Levilian clicked his tongue slightly at the man whose tongue was so twisted. Even he has reached his limit now…

The speed of passing the glasses has become even faster.

As soon as I drank, the glass was filled.

and···.

‘···Why doesn’t it fall down!’

Six soldiers fell to the ground.

Of course, there were some trashy guys among them who would pass out after just one drink, but they were still alone.

Levilian glared at the guy with his unbelievable drinking skills, but there was no trickery.

The guy didn’t spill a single drop on the floor.

There is no greater shame than mobilizing soldiers and losing a drinking bet.

“Oh my god… I’m dying….”

The guy seemed to have reached his limit, his head hanging down as if it was almost touching the table.

‘I can do it. I’ve had a few casks of alcohol, so there’s no way I’ll be okay.’

Levilian raised his glass again.

That memory didn’t last long.

As Leblian fell to the table, the man muttered.

“···You know that if you lose a drinking bet, you have to pay for the drinks, right?”

The man sounded like he was speaking informally to me, perhaps because he had too much to drink.

The man who had been joking around and making jokes until just now was sitting upright and looking down at her as if nothing had happened.

No, now that I look at it, it seems like she was drunk and shaking, but the man was still.

The man appeared to be smiling because of the wrinkles around his mouth.

bang!

Levilian lost consciousness as he watched the table approaching.

***

‘Ah, I’m full.’

I poured the rest of the wine into my mouth and straightened my back.

I felt stiff after sitting in one place for a long time.

“You’re really good at drinking.”

“What kind of alcohol is wine?”

I shook my head at Ben’s heartfelt admiration.

“Anyway, I’m really sorry about what happened today. The Fener family is so···.”

Ben, whose words were trailing off, nodded to Yeong-ae.

“I’m fine! I feel sorry for Aaron, because I feel like I ruined the good mood for no reason!”

Yeong-ae stared at me, answering calmly in a way that didn’t suit her.

“Okay. Thanks to that, I got to drink this much for free.”

Young-ae and Ben tilted their heads at the word ‘free’ that came out of my mouth.

“Oh, then what about the calculation?”

Hannah asked confidently, putting the crossbow back under the counter.

“In a drinking contest, the loser gets to pay the bills.”

“You were aiming for this. Can’t help it. It was a bet.”

Ben nodded, laughing out loud, and took the pouch out of Levilian’s arms and threw it at him.

The pocket was quite heavy, so I laughed heartily.

Ben got up from his seat, carrying his tattered son.

The weasel was still standing in the same position next to the door.

‘···Do you think you’re a real assassin?’

It must have been several hours, but his persistence was commendable.

I clicked my tongue and gestured.

I opened my mouth in a hurry as the weasel reached for the dagger at my gesture.

“Have some kids come and move it. He’s the one who paid the bill for today’s drinks, so make sure to bring him here carefully.”

The weasel looked at the fainted people, licked his lips, and went outside.

A little while later, the kids who had been waiting outside came rushing in.

‘···Why are you holding the extension cord?’

The sight of him armed in his own way really bothered me.

Thanks to the volunteers who came as a support system, the drinking party was quickly settled.

Youngae and Nova went out together.

Adela, who was behind me, hesitated for a moment as she looked at me, then placed her fist on my chest and bowed her head deeply.

I made a slight wave to the formal greeting as if I was meeting my lord. Then Adela, with a face full of contempt, followed them out.

‘I guess you don’t intend to break your promise. You’re just avoiding me.’

However, it seemed like some facial expression training was needed.

There were quite a few of them spread out all over the bar.

They must have been sleeping deeply, so I lightly slapped them on the cheek and they all jumped up.

I opened my pocket and checked inside.

There were five beautiful gold coins inside.

‘He didn’t receive any love or upbringing, but he had a good personality.’

I nodded, thinking of the eldest son.

He was the nicest of all the guests who came to the opening ceremony.

I carefully took care of Kanna, who was sleeping curled up next to me.

I put off finishing up until tomorrow and left the bar.

“Aaron, are you okay?”

Hannah asked, bumping her body into mine.

“uh.”

“You’re not drunk?”

“uh.”

“Hmm···.”

Hannah trailed off with a subtle look in her eyes.

“Now I’m just going to use the main store as a warehouse and a home. Aaron doesn’t have to pay any more.”

“Then will you give me back the gold? I paid a lot.”

When I asked, remembering the gold coins I had paid for my accommodation, Hannah opened her eyes wide and then smiled brightly.

“I don’t have any cash right now, so instead······.”

I laughed at that ugly gesture and headed home.

“Five gold coins a day… I’ll become rich like this. Then Aaron won’t have to work as a security guard. I’ll make the money!”

Hannah shouted with confidence.

Kanna flinched at the sound.

I hurriedly tapped Kanna’s back of the head very gently.

Kanna fell into a deep sleep again.

***

Berman came to his senses after a while.

At that time, there was no one in the bar.

Even the door was locked, so Berman went out to the window on the second floor.

I landed badly and ended up covered in mud, but I didn’t have the presence of mind to care.

Berman staggered down the street.

I knew where she was, but it didn’t feel right to go to her after being rejected.

Yes, Berman was rejected.

‘Wasn’t it fate? I definitely felt it was fate.’

Berman exhaled deeply.

I felt empty, as if there was a hole in my chest.

It hurt like I was hit by an arrow.

Of course, I never got hit by an arrow.

“Were you here?”

“···Kel.”

Berman raised his head at the familiar voice.

Kel, with his mysterious face, stood in front.

It was strange to see the guy who usually ran to Rosa after work here.

Kel, sitting next to me, handed me a bottle of alcohol without saying anything.

Berman bit his lip and took a sip of the bottle.

“···Even if it’s not pretty, you have to open your mouth and drink alcohol.”

It seemed like the alcohol still lingered.

So the two took turns drinking until the sun rose.

“If you want, tell me. Rosa said she’ll give it to you for half price since you’re my friend.”

It would have been shocking if it had been normal, but it felt strangely comforting because it seemed sincere.

“That’s it. I don’t have any more women. I’ve made up my mind. I’ll stake my life on Dylan’s plan. From today on, I’ll swing my sword like Captain Aaron.”

Berman said, turning the empty bottle around.

“Just because I got dumped once… you idiot.”

Kel’s bitter voice brought back old memories to Berman.

“···Not once.”

“Have you ever been in a car again?”

It was a secret I had to keep for the rest of my life, but today I wanted to tell it.

Kel’s face, bathed in the rising sunlight, gave off a strange sense of trust.

“Did you know that I originally held farm implements, not swords?”

“You know, I told you several times. You said that if you harvest like that, the whole thing will fail, and you even said something to the tenant farmers. But you didn’t tell me why you were holding a sword.”

Berman hesitated for a moment and then opened his mouth.

“There was a woman whose parents were close and who had promised to marry her. Of course, I liked her too. A week before the wedding, a handsome mercenary showed up. And then···”

Phew-.

Berman exhaled deeply, still feeling heavy memories even after taking them out for a long time.

“The lady and the mercenary’s belly button is aligned. It can’t be helped. If the mercenary is also handsome, then no matter which village he goes to···.”

Kel clicked his tongue.

“Huh? No, the mercenary offered her a job as a mercenary. She was so strong that she could split a log in one go, and her frame was also great. She followed the offer and joined the mercenary corps. Rumor has it that she’s pretty popular among the mercenaries.”

A woman with an unusually thick waist.

My heart felt much lighter after I opened up to someone about my first love, which had become a painful memory.

When you think the sun rising is really annoying.

“What are you guys doing here?”

A thick voice was heard.

“Chief? Oh, I was trying to comfort Berman because he was upset because he was drunk.”

“Don’t be depressed. What did you do to be depressed? It’s time to get up and go to work.”

At the harsh and firm voice, Berman stood up from his seat rather relieved.

I was at a loss, but hearing the harsh insults made me think of something to do right away.

I felt relieved after confessing to Kel what I had been keeping as a secret.

I’m a little worried, but Kel just now was serious, unlike his usual light-hearted demeanor…

“Chief, doesn’t Berman hate mercenaries? That’s because the woman he promised to marry in the past was a general-like figure…”

When I saw Kel standing next to the leader and making a fuss, I felt a surge of anger in my body.

“Hey, you little shit!”

Berman ran in a hurry.

***

In the city of Karzan, Grun, the leader of the cute rabbits, clenched his teeth and took a deep breath.

The cold wind blowing through the gaping canine tooth was strangely addictive. It was a habit I developed after having my canine tooth pulled.

Write···.

Looking to the side, I saw Joe Anderson, the leader of the Cool Daggers, doing something similar.

“Why did you call me again?”

Grun looked at the short story sitting across from him and asked.

Even though one body is not enough, that short-skinned guy called again.

I wanted to refuse the presumptuous call, but since Danso had already established himself as a powerful figure, I had no choice but to come obediently.

‘You move so quickly. It’s as if you were waiting for that to happen…’

“Let me see first.”

Although it was a short order to give an order, Grun and Anderson could only respond politely.

‘That guy···.’

Because of that weird helmeted man who comes into my nightmares every time I sleep and threatens me saying, ‘I can smell a vampire coming from somewhere… I know it all…’

As long as that man was behind Danso, I couldn’t treat him carelessly.

After finishing the report, which had now become somewhat familiar, Danso remained silent for a moment before opening his mouth.

“You all know that the Imperial army came to Karzan. The other castles were in chaos, but we were able to cross safely thanks to the wise plan he had given us in advance.”

Grun and Anderson nodded at Danso’s words.

‘You can tell a vampire by their fangs…’

It was a really smart and clever way.

I had no choice but to admit it.

The Imperial forces he faced were so fierce that even the seasoned Grun flinched.

‘Of course, less than that guy.’

“But I heard the Imperial Army is heading to Cassidy. To his castle.”

‘His last name? Was he a lord? He definitely didn’t seem like a noble.’

“So one of us will have to go to Cassidy to assist him. And take some of the kids with us.”

The short words that followed were different from the orders that had been handed down so far.

‘Empty the city… What the heck?’

The wrinkles in Grun’s eyes deepened.

Even though things were calming down a bit, Karzan was still in chaos. The chaos was an opportunity for back-alley thugs like him.

However, I couldn’t refuse Danso’s words.

Grun focused on ‘one of the two’.

When he turned his head, Anderson was glaring at Grun, perhaps thinking the same thing.

“After the two of you have come to a compromise, let’s report back.”

Grun pulled out his hammer and ran towards Anderson.

At that moment, Anderson pulled out an ugly whip and brandished it.

To a gangster, ‘figure it out’ meant that.

***

“What? You can’t keep your promise because of ‘one soul’? What kind of woman would dare to…”

The fox bowed his head deeply at the hostile, angry voice of the ‘Beautiful Ninth Star’.

“What kind of woman could defeat him, who tore apart the imperial army with his own hands and drank their blood! It is clear that he, with his closed and naive personality, was fooled by a woman again. I must take action myself. I must wash myself in the blood of that insolent woman who dared to have her eyes on me.”

The fox shivered slightly at the sturdy bronze legs passing by.

Fortunately, the fox was a woman and thus was out of the ninth star’s interest.

“Prepare the carriage!!”

“”yes!!””

A loud answer is heard outside.

‘···But did you say that one of your soul mates was a woman?’

The fox suddenly had a question, but shook his head forcefully.

As I was reading the books of the Empire for information, I started to wonder what was wrong with my head.

‘If the ninth star moves···.’

The fox, who had been rolling its head in that spot for a moment, jumped up and disappeared from that spot.
