People of the same age
The party was pretty good.
In particular, it was impeccable, with unlimited refills of meat and quality wine, both of which are essential party elements.
‘The clothes are a bit uncomfortable, though.’
Because it was a party, I had to wear weird clothes instead of armor.
The medieval people, who had no sense of aesthetics, seemed to think this was cool, but it just looked like a balloon clown.
What I liked the most was that the collar part was fluffy.
He even tried to steal the sword from me, so I said I wouldn’t go without it, and I was able to take the sword.
‘I’m glad I brought it.’
I checked Behard while tearing at the meat.
There was a long line of elders around Behar who had come to greet him.
I don’t know exactly what Behard’s personality is, but judging from the way the elders who greeted him returned with happy faces, it seemed like he was imitating him well.
‘That’s true, so I ignored it even though there were four knights.’
Every time I saw him, I felt hungry and kept putting meat in my mouth.
– He’s dangerous.
‘Aside from such macro-like words, is there any useful advice?’
– ···.
The tenant was silent, but the bastard’s thoughts could be felt.
It’s almost like you’re not qualified yet, and it wouldn’t be fun to tell you.
I didn’t bother asking again because I knew he wouldn’t tell me.
‘Was the corner of my mouth my imagination?’
After locking eyes for a moment, the bastard didn’t look at me again.
However, it seemed like he was even more conscious of me because of that.
“Try this too. It’s lamb and it’s really delicious.”
Youngae, her mouth full of oil, held out a large piece of meat.
I bowed my head deeply to show my respect, then took it and ate it.
Yeong-ae was terrified and told him not to do it, but there was nothing he could do because Yeong-ae’s father was right next to him.
‘There’s almost no smell.’
As expected of a noble, the meat tasted quite good.
After Hannah learned to cook from the washer, the smell of blood and urine disappeared somewhat, but when she ate it, it still looked like a sheep happily running around in a meadow.
But this meat only slightly scratches the surface of the young sheep.
Of course, it was okay compared to that, but it did smell.
Looking around, I saw nobles eating diligently.
In the uncivilized Middle Ages, the nobles here considered eating well to be manly and also considered it a noble virtue.
That’s why many high-ranking nobles were fat, and the fatter you were, the more capable and wealthy you were considered to be.
Moreover, vegetables were considered cheap and unnecessary, so not a single vegetable was seen on the table.
It would have been quite difficult if I were a vegetarian, but fortunately I am a carnivore.
‘···Uncivilized bastards.’
I clicked my tongue and threw the eaten bones on the floor.
The floor was already littered with bones.
Yeong-ae wiped the oil from her mouth and examined the remaining meat and bread to see if she had eaten everything.
I expected that sooner or later, Yeong-ae would cross the castle carrying the leftover food.
However, I don’t think there will be much left because other men kept adding it in, wanting to express their manliness.
They glared at me and somehow managed to get the meat into their mouths.
It seemed like he was conscious of me, but since we were bigger than each other, the amount we ate was bound to be different.
My mouth felt greasy, so I cut up some garlic and ate it, and the meat started to go back in.
As they continued to eat like that, the nobles gave up first.
‘Does this mean I’m the most noble?’
He muttered and picked up another piece of lamb.
“wow······.”
Youngae looked at the bones beneath me and admired them.
Those sparkling eyes were full of anticipation, so I put the lamb meat stuck to the bone into my mouth and took a deep bite.
When the cleaned bones came out, Youngae paused for a moment, then smiled brightly again and clapped loudly.
“Aaron, you really eat refreshingly. I’ve never seen you eat this much before. Other nobles eat a lot too, but···.”
Yeong-ae was right next to him and continued to express her pure admiration.
‘Is this why you do mukbang?’
To live up to that expectation, I picked up another piece of meat and put it in my mouth.
Young-ae, her eyes wide, smiled brightly again and clapped her hands, but this time the applause was a little smaller.
‘Was it not that good? Then this!’
This time, he showed off his technique of holding a piece of meat in each hand and eating it alternately with both hands.
It must have been quite a shocking technique to an uncivilized medieval person, but Youngae opened her eyes wide and hurriedly wiped her mouth with the sleeve of her dress.
‘There is a sky, so why wear a dress…’
I clicked my tongue and roughly wiped my hands in the water next to me.
And as I took a sip of wine, the music changed.
A bit more upbeat music.
It seemed like it was time to dance.
But among the nobles gathered here, there were few women.
All there is is Count Bonita and Youngae, who are fussing around on the other side.
Although they were both obviously beautiful, the men did not get up.
‘···Don’t you usually ask someone to dance just out of courtesy?’
I flinched as I glanced at Young-ae, but no one got up from their seats.
The men simply patted their bellies and talked to the people next to them.
Youngae also seemed not to be particularly interested in dancing, as her gaze was fixed on the remaining meat and bread.
After a while, Count Behart stood up.
“Thank you for the food. It was a wonderful banquet.”
With those words, Count Behart left the hall, leading four knights.
Before leaving, the guy turned his head slightly.
For a brief moment, our eyes met.
The atmosphere lightened with the disappearance of Count Behart.
Some people got drunk and got up from their seats and came to the middle to dance.
It seemed like a weird dance to me, but the other men cheered and admired him.
Thanks to that, the atmosphere got heated up, and some of them even approached Yeong-ae.
He was a pretty sensitive looking guy.
“Vivian Youngae, happy birthday.”
“Oh, thank you.”
A man with a sensitive look greeted me formally with his tongue hanging out.
It was a guy with a particularly strange outfit, but the material seemed soft and good.
Of course, he looked like a clown.
“But isn’t this person one of Adela’s servants?”
The guy glanced at me and asked.
‘I see you are giving the seed formalities, so I guess you haven’t received a title yet.’
He looked quite old, but he seemed to be a young man who had not yet received a title.
‘These guys are so old that you can’t tell their age.’
In reality, the children of nobles would be higher in rank than the children of knights, but even that was an ambiguous relationship that changed depending on the region and the knights served.
And it was better to establish such an ambiguous relationship first.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Aaron.”
I held out my hand and greeted him coolly.
His face crumpled subtly at my greeting. He glanced at Young-ae and quickly grabbed my hand.
“I am Konghart, the eldest son of the Grucias family.”
Judging by his rough hands, he seemed to have received some training in swordsmanship.
I heard that the nobles of the provinces sometimes try to make their children knights because the road to the center is blocked.
In the uncivilized Middle Ages, where people would call for a duel at any opportunity, swordsmanship was similar to taekwondo, so it was a course that everyone had to learn at least once.
At that moment, the bastard raised the corners of his mouth and tightened his grip on the hand he was holding.
There was a noticeable difference in physique between him and me, but I was curious about his confidence.
I put a little more strength into his hand, wondering if he had something hidden there.
“evil!”
The bastard let out a short scream and pulled his hand away.
“evil!”
Adela, who was eating meat among the knights in the distance, shouted along shortly.
The bastard’s hands were swollen and red like well-cooked meat.
“I didn’t know that seeds could be this strong! I am Conhat, the eldest son of the Baron Grucias!”
The bashful man hid his hands behind his back and introduced himself again.
‘Is this a medieval I’m Ground?’
“I am Aaron.”
“That’s not it···”
He explained himself again, and I gave my name accordingly.
After repeating this several times, the bastard stepped back, emitting hot breath.
The way he was glaring at me made me feel like he was going to see me next time.
‘I shook your hand too hard… tsk.’
I clicked my tongue and washed my hands in water.
Behind him, other nobles also stood up and congratulated Youngae, presenting her with the things they had brought.
Youngae took care of him, smiling all the time, just like an idol doing a fan signing event.
Since my share was among those gifts, I looked at him to see if there was anything useful.
Among them, the thick-armed guys greeted me and asked to shake my hand.
His hands were a little greasy and it was a little annoying, but he was the one who gave me the gift, so I held onto him.
Of course, everyone immediately screamed and let go.
‘Everything is so unpleasant.’
The guys stood back separately and gathered together to glare at me.
It was funny to see everyone rubbing their right hands together, but it seemed like a waste of time.
Of course, it wasn’t that threatening.
At that moment, the door to the hall opened and Behar’s knight came in.
The hall instantly became quiet at the sharp momentum and precise movements that were completely different from those of the other knights.
The knight, who had been looking around the hall for a moment, approached me.
I moved my hand to the handle of the sword as if stretching.
“You there, the Count is calling.”
The guy spoke in a very commanding tone.
‘It was right that you were laughing at me.’
I got up from my seat, trying hard to suppress the rising corners of my lips.
***
The knight guided me upstairs.
There were two remaining knights and soldiers guarding it. The security was very tight.
“Leave the black one and go in.”
The one with the straight eyebrows among the knights gave a short order.
I hesitated for a moment at the firm voice, but I couldn’t go in without a sword to meet the unknown man.
“I have anxiety disorder, so I have symptoms of a sword attack. If there is no sword around, the seizure occurs and the excess secretion of thetamin occurs…”
He spoke at length, using as many difficult words as possible.
“It doesn’t matter. Put down your sword and go in.”
However, unlike other knights, he did not stumble over difficult words.
I thought about it for a moment, but they weren’t asking for my consent.
Two knights in front, two knights in back.
The guy right in front of me was scratching his forehead without even putting his hand on the sword hilt.
You might be thinking, “Surely I wouldn’t do something so crazy as draw my sword between four knights?”
The guy in front seemed to be the leader and had more momentum than the two guys behind him.
If we just dealt with the first one quickly, the others would definitely panic.
I wiggled my fingers, anticipating what might happen if something bad happened.
‘If I punch the face of the guy in front of me and draw my sword and extend my aura, I’ll be able to deal with the two behind me at the same time. The remaining one will be blocked by the guy in front of me and won’t be able to draw his sword.’
The passage is not that wide, so if a knight with a sunken face blocks your way, you won’t be able to respond right away.
‘······It seems like it might work.’
It is possible thanks to the thrill of a fair surprise attack and narrow passages.
I felt a lot more at ease after preparing for the worst.
I had made some calculations, but there was no need to choose the worst option.
‘Even if he’s not a demon, he’s probably something similar, so even a knight would find him tricky. If by any chance he’s not a demon, then I’m in no danger.’
Judging from the fact that the knight was still standing outside, it was highly likely that he was from the devil’s side.
Even without a sword, there was no way I could lose before the knights came in.
‘It’s not dangerous.’
I steeled myself and took out the sword from its scabbard and handed it over.
The knight who received him put his sword aside and gestured.
Even though I didn’t have a single sword, I was overcome with an unpleasant feeling in an instant. My throat felt itchy and my hands felt empty.
I took a deep breath, pressed against him, and stepped through the open door.
As expected, the knights did not follow.
The room is a little bigger than Nova’s.
There was a guy at the window.
It looked like Behard, but it wasn’t Behard.
The guy had his back to the moonlight, his face half hidden in shadow.
It was an attitude that seemed to claim that he was the mastermind.
I quickly looked at the guy.
The nobles each wore a sword, even for show, but he had none.
‘Unarmed.’
The corners of the guy’s mouth turned up in the moonlight.
Of course, I was laughing too.
“I knew we’d meet here.”
The guy turned his head and muttered something incomprehensible.
The voice was filled with an incomprehensible joy.
The reason the corners of his mouth went up seemed different from mine.
He was as happy as if he were a Korean who had met someone from the same country in a foreign country.
‘There’s something.’
The guy wasn’t humble, but he wasn’t high-handed either.
It feels like we had a truly unexpected and welcome encounter.
“I was surprised too. I never thought I would meet you in a place like this.”
I took him for a spin and answered him as if I were talking to an elementary school classmate I had met on the street.
“As expected. You recognized it. No, we couldn’t not recognize it. Isn’t that right? Brother.”
The guy smiled brightly and stretched out both arms to the left and right, expressing his joy with his whole body.
‘···sibling?’
My head became complicated due to the unexpected development of the morning drama.
There were two possibilities for the brother he was talking about: a biological brother and a ‘brother’ like a cult religion.
I couldn’t be sure which of the two it was, since I didn’t know the mother of this body.
First of all, if you follow what the other person says, you’re halfway there.
“Yes. You can’t not recognize your brother. Brother.”
When I smiled back at him, he laughed deeply.
‘That’s correct.’
I felt a little relieved.
“I’ve been in the East for quite some time, but this is the first time I’ve seen you, brother. Where are you from?”
The second question from the guy who followed.
It seemed like he was asking me to reveal my affiliation.
It was the subjective question I hated the most.
‘Belonging.’
I looked into the guy’s eyes and replayed his words and reactions.
The kindness in his voice gave the impression that he was more than just a brother in name.
Also, brothers can recognize each other as I felt a strong hunger from him.
If you meet someone for the first time and don’t show any guard and call them aside to talk to them, it seems you can’t fool them into thinking they’re your brothers.
I also asked about their affiliations, and it seemed like some of them didn’t know each other’s faces.
‘···There’s no need to reveal it first.’
I closed my mouth with a slightly wary glint.
Then the guy’s face became strange.
For a moment I thought it was the wrong answer, but since it was subjective, there were no other options.
“Hmm… You don’t have to be on guard. Not only will no one be listening here, but hypocrites will never come in. They’re the ones who would die if they followed Count Behar’s orders.”
‘It’s the devil. Or something like that.’
The word hypocrite was a word used by demons and warlocks to refer to knights.
Then, it could be done more definitely than before.
“···I am in a position where I cannot help but be cautious.”
“Looks like you’ve been through something. ···Yeah, it can’t hurt to be careful.”
The guy’s subtle expression slightly relaxed.
The guy nodded, frowned for a moment as if he was thinking about it, and then continued speaking.
“I am five. You already know that.”
That bastard’s random words.
‘I already know?’
My mind became busy again.
‘I guess it’s something to do with ability.’
I know the guy turned into Count Behart.
Since that perfect mimicry ability isn’t common, it was clear that it had something to do with the number five.
‘Five… Is that a number? If you ask again, I guess I can pick from one to four.’
Fortunately, the questions changed from subjective to objective.
“···I guess so.”
First, I answered in a low voice as if something was going on.
“Haha! It’s a shame I didn’t hear your affiliation, but what does that matter between brothers? I’m really lucky today to have met you in this remote place.”
‘I guess it’s not often that we meet.’
The guy didn’t show any signs of caution, so every word he uttered was a hint.
However, just listening was not a good option.
I brought up the topic that would be of most interest to the demons when they gathered.
“I heard the Imperial Army is moving around in the East.”
There has been nothing more important in the East recently than the Imperial Army.
“Ah, Imperial Army! Yes, that’s right. I’ve been so busy lately because of that. Do you see the dark circles under my eyes? Oh, that was Behard just now. Behard originally had dark circles under his eyes.”
The guy whined as if he was talking about the joys and sorrows of living in a foreign land to a fellow countryman he hadn’t seen in a long time.
‘Speaking of the Imperial Army, there seems to be more annoyance than hesitation or fear.’
I instinctively knew that he was strong, but the organization he was a part of seemed stronger than I thought.
‘···I guess I’ll have to tear it off a little more.’
Originally, the easiest way to become friends was through gossip.
If there was any way for demons to communicate, I could guarantee that the Imperial Army’s backstabbing would be at the top of it.
Since the opponent is probably a devil, I adjusted the gossip accordingly.
“Imperial soldiers, how arrogant you are, how disgusting it is to see them standing there. We should take out all their heads and make a stew with their blood. Have you ever tried that stew? It’s delicious.”
I even moved my hand to kindly help her imagine.
However, the guy’s reaction was subtle.
The guy opened his eyes wide and took a small step back.
‘Weak? Should I have said that they chewed off my head too?’
“······Haha! That’s hot! That’s right! I have to tear out the heads of all the Imperials. From the way you speak, you must be three. Hahaha! I heard that three is hot, but I didn’t think it would be this much···.”
The guy nodded with a slightly shaken face and clapped his hands.
It was a similar feeling to when I saw a dragon tattoo on the back of a fellow countryman I met by chance.
‘It wasn’t that there wasn’t enough, it was too much. But there were three… It was a number after all.’
I made a vague expression and coughed.
“Hahaha! It’s okay! It’s okay! I know the rumors about the three of you! Of course, I didn’t know it would be this much···. But isn’t the three of you territory the south? It’s strange to see the three brothers at the eastern end.”
When I reacted to the number three in a dubious manner, the guy’s posture became strangely lower. It seems that three is stronger than five.
‘I guess I can go a little harder.’
Since he capsized the boat, it was only right to scratch it.
“I didn’t know I needed permission.”
I made an uncomfortable expression and banged my fists together.
It was quite pleasant to hear the really loud banging noise.
“···Hmm? That’s not it! I just asked because I was curious! It’s rare for our brothers to leave the area, right? And where on the continent are we in a position where we would need permission from others? Haha! Relax! Aren’t we brothers? Brothers!”
The guy seemed very taken aback by my reaction and spoke to me in a soothing tone.
‘The Devil’s Alliance… isn’t that a no-brainer?’
That thing looked sweeter than any devil candy I’d ever seen, and there were a bunch of them…
Plus, the guy is now Count Behart.
It was like a goose full of gold coins and devil’s candies.
He was worthy of being called a brother.
“Yes. Brother… no, brother.”
When I laughed, the guy laughed along.
When I preached about the Imperial Army’s cooking methods, the guy clapped his hands in admiration, saying, “As expected, three!”
Since the word ‘three’ came out, the guy had a strangely humble attitude, so it was easy to get to know him.
Whenever the other person is in a humble posture, it is polite to assume a high posture in return.
As we exchanged all sorts of good words, our relationship grew closer.
When you feel like you’ve completely settled into a high position.
“By the way, brother, do you have any gold coins?”
The guy stopped laughing for a moment at my question, then burst into laughter again.
As expected, he was a good brother.
***
Baron Fullfoot tapped the bowl with his knife.
There was a lot of meat in front of me, but I didn’t feel hungry.
When Vivian brought Aaron as her companion, Pulpouts’ mind became very complicated.
The meaning of companion was not simple.
Especially if you are the first companion of an adult woman.
If he had been a commoner, the situation would have been a bit awkward, but fortunately, Aaron had recently entered the service as a servant.
However, the more I thought about it, the more I realized it wasn’t a bad choice.
Pulphus’ wife was in poor health and could not bear a successor.
Plus, Fullfoot didn’t want to mix bodies with anyone else.
In this situation, if Vivian gets married, the person she marries will inherit the title…
‘Rather than moving to another family…’
Aaron was a vital part of the Cassadic team.
And the recent appearance at Bolt Castle has gone beyond what is necessary.
‘He is a man with outstanding physical ability, stronger than a knight. He also pretends to be ignorant, but he has brains. He also does not hesitate to stand at the forefront.’
To put it simply, he was the epitome of a gentleman.
Of course, the feeling when I actually saw it was very different.
‘But I don’t know that past···.’
It bothered me that I didn’t know Aaron’s past.
According to Nova’s story, they are being chased by a powerful enemy.
Pulphus assumed that he was the emperor, so he kept a certain distance from Aaron in case of an unexpected situation.
While he was trying to calm his complicated head due to Vivian’s unexpected actions, Count Behart called Aaron aside.
Because of that, my already dizzy head became even more of a mess.
‘Have you noticed? Count Behart’s eye for talent has been famous since long ago.’
Ever since Aaron disappeared, I’ve been feeling a little uneasy.
In any case, it was clear that Count Behar’s treatment would be better than his own.
The difference between what the two had was incomparable.
If Count Behart were to recruit Aaron…
‘Is there any reason for Aaron to remain at Cassidy?’
Pulpouts scraped the bowl with a knife.
‘There are rumors that he is in an actual marital relationship with the waitress, but from what I understand, it’s just a one-sided claim by the woman… and Nova’s side hasn’t made any progress either…’
Aaron was the undisputed greatest force in the Cassidy’s lineup.
It was also his achievement to break through this bolt hole in just one day.
Whatever happens next, Cassidy needs Aaron.
‘No. Count Behar values talented people, but he is also suspicious. He probably won’t accept him right away…’
Now that the situation has become like this, keeping my distance as Nova suggested feels like a mistake.
‘No, rather, it may be that Aaron stayed because of that. He’s an unpredictable man.’
Fullfoot tried to calm his mind and wondered how he could keep Aaron.
At that moment, the door opened.
‘Are you back? For now···.’
Just as Pulpouts was about to get up from his seat.
“Haha, you don’t have to do that.”
“Huh- how could I possibly walk in step with the Count?”
Count Behar and Aaron came in, having a friendly conversation.
No, their relationship was so close that even the word ‘friendly’ wouldn’t be enough.
The atmosphere suddenly became strange.
‘What the heck······.’
In a completely unexpected situation, the knife in Pulpouts’ hand fell.
On the other side, the faces of the elders who were planning to take care of the ‘arrogant seed who relies on his size’ also looked similar to Fullfoot.
***
“I risked my life to clear the way for my eldest brother! And I wasn’t satisfied with that! I aimed for the back of the bad guy’s head! My eldest brother must have been so impressed by my courage···.”
“What are you risking your life for?”
Berman dismissed Dylan’s rather exaggerated remarks.
“No, I’m telling you the truth! Brother Berman! I risked my life to pave the way for Brother Aaron! I guided him to a place where even the slightest wrong step could cause something to explode and chaos to occur!”
Dylan said, pounding his chest as if he felt wronged, but Brick, who was next to Berman, did not seem to believe him either.
“Anyway, this kid is all a lie. There’s no truth in what he says.”
Brick chuckled as he regained his energy.
“No, I’m telling you! Seriously! I’m risking my life! With my big brother! Huh?!”
“You’re talking about your life when you’re not even married yet. If you really want to risk your life, you should at least get married. Since ancient times, getting married has been…”
Dylan then looked at Brick and argued, but Brick just laughed and continued talking about ‘marriage’.
As Berman listened to him, he became confused as to whether Brick was talking about ‘marriage’ or ‘deployment’.
Brick spoke of marriage in a scolding tone, and Dylan’s forehead grew narrower and narrower.
“Hmm… I guess I can get away with something like Brick….”
Dylan’s eyes lit up as if he was calculating something.
“You, what’s wrong with your eyes? Huh? Berman, his eyes are weird.”
“I’m going to escape! The youngest is escaping!”
“Huh?”
Dylan lunged at Brick, causing them to roll around on the floor, tangled together.
Brick screamed in embarrassment, and Berman chuckled at the sight.
Dylan had been eyeing Brick’s spot ever since he failed to challenge Kel last time.
‘But Captain Aaron, it seems like you’ve gotten stronger.’
Berman, who was watching the two playing around, muttered quietly.
Sure, Aaron’s strength and punches were beyond imagination when he first came to Cassidy, but he went a little too far when he threw the wall this time.
‘···Can a person do that?’
That thought occurred to me, but since the person in question was Captain Aaron, I quickly nodded.
‘He wasn’t human in the first place.’
In every way, he was a person who was far from human.
Berman checked the front while releasing his hunched arms.
As the sun set and it was time to close the city gates, the only people there were were tenant farmers returning from their work.
Now it’s time to slowly wrap things up.
I saw something over there in the distance.
Something sharp.
Berman narrowed his eyes and examined him.
Then it showed its presence beyond the ridge-.
“Imperial flag! Kneel!”
Berman shouted and quickly fell flat on his face.
‘They said the Imperial Army was coming···.’
It seemed that the Imperial Army, as I had heard by rumor, had reached Cassidy.
floating.
The earth resonates with the sound of horse hooves.
Even though there was quite a distance, the vibration was clearly transmitted.
Berman swallowed hard and suppressed his tension.
A rough estimate would be around fifty.
All of their weapons were extraordinary.
There, even the horse was armed with iron, so there was no gap at all.
“I’ll talk, everyone stay behind me.”
Berman said, trying to suppress his pressure.
I heard the answer, but it seemed further away than I thought, so I glanced behind me and saw that Brick and Dylan were already far away.
I planned to take charge of it, but I couldn’t help feeling a little resentful.
The ground rumbles louder as the imperial forces approach.
The movement was so sharp that it seemed like a long, iron snake moving.
Berman bowed his head even deeper.
The imperial army, which had come right up to us, passed by without stopping.
The sound of horse hooves clattering along the side and the dust blowing around.
The imperial army didn’t even bother to look at Berman.
Berman was rather relieved by this.
“Hey, what’s that?”
At that moment, the sound of horse hooves stopped at the same time as a man’s voice.
Silence descended in an instant.
Berman just turned his head while lying face down.
In the center of the imperial army, a man wearing golden armor that looked like melted sun was pointing a huge spear at Brick.
Looking closely, it seemed to be aimed at the large fangs attached to Brick’s waist.
‘Ah. Vampire fangs! Damn it!’
There was no way he would react well since he was carrying the devil’s stuff on his body.
The Imperial Army was notorious for its brutality.
It wasn’t for nothing that everyone bowed their heads when they saw the imperial army.
The knight’s spear glowed with a frosty light.
“This··· This··· My wife··· So··· In order to··· live··· at night··· Marriage···.”
Brick fumbled, seeming very scared.
No, who can be at peace when faced with such pressure?
The moment Berman hurriedly got up, the eyebrows of the Imperial Knight were slightly furrowed.
“Your Majesty! Those are vampire fangs! In our Cassadic, when we catch a vampire, we carry around the fangs as trophies!!”
Dylan immediately banged his head on the ground and shouted.
The voice was so desperate that even Berman wondered, ‘Is that really why he wore it?’
“booty?”
The Imperial Knight turned his spear to the side and asked.
Dylan slumped even lower, screaming, “Oh my god!!” as the window turned towards him.
He was so flat that he was almost lying down.
Although his posture was strangely arrogant, his body trembled and his fear was clearly conveyed.
“Yes! If you catch a vicious vampire, it is the pride of your family, and you are a true man, so wear it around your waist to prove it! Also, if you wear fangs like this, won’t vampires be afraid and not come near you?”
Dylan, face down on the ground, screamed loudly.
Hearing it again, it seemed to make sense, so the Imperial Army’s mood changed.
“I hate black blood!! I love the Empire!!”
Then Dylan screamed again and again.
Berman and Brick also shouted along with the desperation contained in that familiar slogan.
“A great, well-trained guard.”
The imperial army passed by again with a satisfied voice.
‘···Was Dylan such a courageous man?’
Dylan, who was just setting up Brick to get rid of it, is now yelling at the Imperial Army for Brick’s sake…
Dylan, who had previously been seen as a lackey and a coward, appeared in a new light.
“Phew… I almost missed.”
Berman shook his head at the fang belt swinging from Dylan’s waist as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
