Roguish Guard in a Medieval Fantasy Chapter 200

200

Kanna’s birthday

‘What is this···.’

Tentang of the Catholic Married Men’s Club looked around furtively, rubbing his neck.

Cassady’s biggest pub, the wonderful Aaron Rabbit pub, was packed with people.

It was a common occurrence at a popular bar, but today the people seated there were the problem.

‘Over there are the knights Adolf and Delfran of Namaiyad… the bear shadow of Cassidy and the swordsman Joji, and even the barbarians of the upper ranks…’

They were all people who worked at Cassadic. There were also some who appeared to be guards or inner soldiers.

All those people are sitting together in a bar.

It was clear that something was going to go wrong or that something was going to happen.

Tentang, whose nerves were rising, swallowed hard and sipped the glass in front of him.

At that moment, a familiar figure came down from the second floor. I had just seen him go up, so I couldn’t understand why he was coming down.

However, he closed his mouth at that mean face that seemed to have no blood or tears.

‘Aaron’s son Dylan···.’

He was the one who tied them to this place.

“Hey! Dylan! What if you call and you’re the last one to show up?”

“Tsk, I guess I wasted time trying to gain weight.”

Although there were loud voices from all over, Dylan, the person involved, seemed to not care at all.

Dylan, standing on the tall chair in the center, greeted me briefly, as if he had been preparing for something. A harsh swearing erupted from him.

“Quiet.”

Dylan, who had been looking at him for a moment, raised his hand and spoke quietly. More curses poured out.

After a brief period of swearing, things finally quieted down. Dylan muttered again, “Quiet.” and cleared his throat to calm the mood.

“I’m sure you all know what day tomorrow is.”

Everyone nodded to Dylan’s words. Some even muttered, “It’s an important day.”

However, Tentang, who was captured and dragged away by Scar, could not nod. Since Scar had dragged him away without any explanation, Tentang had no idea what was going on.

‘······What day is tomorrow?’

Tentang muttered softly while caressing the dagger in his arms.

Judging from the serious expressions on the faces of all the heads except for the lord in Cassadic, it was clear that this was an unusual undertaking.

‘Are we going to play a game with those Frederick guys? Or are we finally going to get the lord…?’

The hand holding the dagger became sweaty.

“My brother is also very excited. Isn’t this a monumental day?”

The word ‘brother’ coming out of Dylan’s mouth caused slurring here and there. It was the same with Ten-tang.

‘···Is he really moving!’

It was common knowledge to those in the know that Cassadic’s main force was under Aaron.

From the Namaiyads to the outer city guards, the men of Joji and Ska, and even the upper class troops who were clearly barbarians despite being called the upper class, they were all following Aaron.

I was curious because it didn’t move, but it seemed like tomorrow was the day of the operation.

‘But the opponent is a nobleman···.’

Tentang wiped the sweat from his hands on his pants.

Although he was scared, he had already decided on his side.

The most foolish ones were those who did not follow their own paths precisely. Such people were usually abandoned by both sides.

“It’s also possible to do it internally.”

Tentang’s eyes widened as he turned his head at the cold voice.

‘···Even the secretary? No! Even the sheriff?!’

Sitting at the table, hidden from Scar’s view, were Secretary Nova and the Constable.

Even the lord’s core power was involved. The scary constable was smiling brightly, unlike usual.

‘···This one is well-made!’

It was no different from a rebellion that was over before it even began.

“I will cover all the costs.”

Hannah raised her hand.

It must have been a lot of money, but she’s supporting all of the expenses… It was unusual for a woman to run such a huge bar, but her tenacity was also extraordinary.

Well, that’s the extent of it, Aaron…

“Namaiyaddo will not spare anything!”

“We decided to close the carpentry shop for a day.”

“Ska, doesn’t the woodworking shop seem to be closed too often?”

Scar, who had been shouting cheerfully, looked slightly surprised at Nova’s remark.

“That… That’s because the weather has been cold lately… When the weather gets warmer, I plan on doing everything I’ve been piling up! When the weather gets warmer!”

“Yes, I understand. The deadline is still right. Oh, and the Lord said he would support it too. However, the atmosphere in Naeseong is not good right now, so I think the plaza would be a good place.”

‘······You’re saying that Yeongju will also support you?!’

Tentang’s mind became extremely complicated at Secretary Nova’s words.

‘Have you surrendered? There’s definitely hope… No, no matter what, already? Then why bother…’

I thought about it over and over again, but I still didn’t understand.

“Because the atmosphere has been bad lately, it seems like they’re trying to loosen him up a bit through this opportunity.”

‘To lighten the mood······?’

Even though it was a fight where the outcome was visible before it even started, it was unlikely that the castle lord would be handed over so easily.

Ten-tang glanced around and nudged Scar.

“···Hmm? If it’s beer, it’s over there. I got lost looking for it earlier too! Hahaha!”

“No, that’s not it… What are you talking about?”

“You didn’t even know that? Hahaha! As expected, Ten-tang is really stupid!”

Scar’s huge hand repeatedly pounded Tentang’s back. The force was so great that his body shook and tears welled up in his eyes.

“Tomorrow is Aaron’s daughter, Kanna’s birthday! We gathered here for her! Otherwise, why would all these busy people have gathered here?”

Tentang was momentarily speechless at Scar’s bold words.

‘···So this many people gathered to prepare for Kanna’s birthday?’

Tentang glanced away from Adolf and the constable, who were getting heated up by each other.

Here and there, people were fighting with each other, raising their voices.

Even the pot-bellied Cobbs got up from his seat and shouted.

The story goes that a ray pier is better than a dagger as a gift for a girl.

It seemed like I had chosen the wrong last name.

***

The executioner, Dalus, adjusted his fedora and looked down.

Behind his cabin, a large hole had appeared that clearly hadn’t been there the day before.

The shape of the pit looked very familiar.

The grave was clear.

A huge man was lying in a pit shaped like a tomb.

His expression was not clearly visible because of the scar, but the corners of his mouth were stiff, unlike usual.

Aaron’s antics weren’t the first or second of their kind, so this wasn’t new, but this time, it didn’t feel good.

Aaron looked up, squinting his eyes.

“Oh, you’re here.”

Dalus felt that Aaron’s pupils were deeper than usual. Or maybe they were wavering.

His eyes were similar to those of a prisoner before he was taken to the execution mound.

“What are you doing there?”

Dalus didn’t know how to ask indirectly because he had no surroundings.

“Oh, this is my grave. What do you think from an expert’s perspective? Did I dig it well?”

Aaron stretched out his hand over me. The dirt fell from his hand and Aaron cursed harshly.

In response to the question, Dalus looked into the pit.

“We need to dig a little deeper. If we dig this deep, we might come out when it rains a lot. That will cost extra.”

“I see. As expected, experts are different. Let’s go a little deeper···.”

“And you dug too big. If there’s too much empty space, things like moles can come in and live next to you. It would be better to make it a little smaller.”

“A mole. That would be a good conversation partner.”

“If that’s the case.”

Dalus looked down at Aaron for a moment, then returned to the cabin and fetched a suitable shovel.

When he finally came back, Aaron was digging the ground with his hands.

“Use this. It’s called a shovel. Use it to dig the ground.”

“···Wow, this is the shovel I’ve only heard about!”

Dalus laughed at Aaron’s exaggerated reaction. Dalus crouched down next to him and gave him some good tips for digging graves.

“You have quite a talent. When you quit the guard, will you come and learn from me?”

“That wouldn’t be bad either.”

Eventually, Aaron built a fairly nice tomb. It didn’t look bad to Dalus.

Aaron, who had turned his hand, took out a water bottle from his bosom and put it in his mouth. Dalus followed suit and took out his water bottle, and Aaron gently held it out to him.

The water cans clashed with each other, making a heavy sound.

After emptying half of the alcohol in the water bottle, my frozen mouth thawed.

“Why are you digging a grave?”

Dalus asked Aaron, who was pouring the water bottle into his mouth.

“There’s a saying. If you want revenge, you have to dig two graves.”

Aaron answered, taking the water bottle he had just finished drinking from. His tone was somewhat playful and sly.

‘···That doesn’t mean I’m digging a real grave, right?’

Dalus, who heard the reason, laughed briefly as if coughing. At that time, Aaron was clumping up dirt, saying that it would be nice to have a neck rest on the head. The sight of the stone being crushed was quite gruesome.

‘Revenge···.’

Dalus didn’t know about Aaron’s past.

Just as Aaron did not ask Dalus about his wife, Dalus did not ask about Aaron’s past.

However, it was clear that Aaron had been an extraordinary person in the past. Aaron was the strongest person Dalus had ever seen. If Aaron was the kind of person who would dig his own grave…

Dalus paused for a moment to consider his words before opening his mouth.

“There is a saying. The best revenge is forgiveness-.”

“Because I have a pretty good memory.”

Dalus smiled bitterly at the answer that came without a moment’s hesitation.

Certainly, Aaron was a man with a bad temper, to the point where he could remember the curses he had heard a year ago.

“You didn’t forget our promise, did you?”

Dalus changed the subject. Aaron was a man who, despite his harshness, never forgot his promises.

“I made a promise with Ted, so let’s come to an agreement.”

Aaron, who clicked his tongue, reached out his hand. Dalus grabbed him and pulled him up. He was so heavy that he staggered for a moment.

“You’ve grown old. How can I trust you with my neck like this?”

“Be careful. You’re getting old too.”

Dalus replied to Aaron’s joke, shaking off his numb hands.

Aaron laughed out loud.

Aaron, who had been laughing for a long time, tapped Dalus on the shoulder. The force was so great that Dalus’ large body swayed.

“Keep that in mind.”

Dalus nodded at Aaron’s clear eyes. Dalus muttered that he would fill that grave.

Then Aaron called.

“Oh, but by any chance···”

A voice that hesitates for a moment.

Aaron, the always straightforward and thoughtless rascal, was hesitating -. There was clearly a big story.

Dalus waited without urging.

However, the words that came out of Aaron’s mouth were different from what Dalus had expected.

“What do you think would be a good birthday present for a little girl?”

Dalus looked at Aaron, who was pointing to his waist, for a moment before opening his mouth.

“I gave Ted a child’s axe as a gift. It’s good to build up his arm strength in advance so that it will be convenient later.”

Dalus looked at Aaron’s pale face and wondered what he had done wrong.

“Oh, don’t worry. There’s an axe for girls too.”

Aaron, whose face was crumpled, laughed out loud.

****

‘hmm···.’

I let out a sigh as I looked at the small hand that Kanna held out.

Because of the chaos, there were few carriage drivers. For that reason, no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t think of a gift. When I asked the person in question, this was the answer I got.

‘He asked me to walk around holding his hand…’

It was a strange request, but the purple eyes that could be seen through the overturned bucket really sparkled. He wiped his hands with a handkerchief and then held it.

Kanna, smiling brightly, was pulled forward.

Kanna seemed to be trying to hide her joy over her birthday, but judging by the way her feet and arms moved simultaneously, she was clearly quite excited.

“Kanna, should we go this way first?”

Hannah gently gave us a direction change. It seemed like the Cassadick guys were preparing something, and Hannah seemed to be our guide.

‘···That’s too much.’

As soon as I turned the alley, I clicked my tongue at the guys I saw.

There were men standing on both sides, carrying buckets over their heads. Most of them seemed to be from the Namayyad side, but judging by the number of them, there seemed to be soldiers from the Naeseong side as well.

Next to them, there were a bunch of small statues of Deokgu. It was literally Deokgu Road.

“Kuh-!!”

The one in front raised his sword and shouted. His face was not visible in the bucket, but it was clearly the man, Bori.

“Kuhh!!”

Kanna, her face now very serious, raised her hand.

Then, they all raised their swords. It seemed like they had practiced quite a bit, because the angles were unusual. The path of the swords was formed in that way.

Kanna, who was very excited, confidently passed through the path. I, who was caught up in it, also followed along awkwardly.

Then I saw a familiar face.

“···what.”

The governor’s face was wrinkled and he turned his head away. It seemed like he had been caught.

At the end, a man named Bori ran up and handed something to Kanna.

“This is a statue of Deokgu, made to commend his achievements as a member of the Namaiyad. Although it is not as good as your sculpting skills….”

It was a statue the size of Kanna’s fist. It seemed to be made of silver and sparkled so beautifully that it seemed like it must have cost a lot of money, even though it was small.

As he said, the sculpting skills were somewhat crude. However, compared to Kanna, it was above average for a medieval sculpture.

‘Silver···. You spent some money.’

I was a little impressed by their sincerity. In the Middle Ages, they gave silver statues as gifts. It seemed like there was a reason why they were acting so shabby, even though they were knights.

“Kuh!”

Kanna nodded vigorously and gave a strange salute.

Adolgu also saluted accordingly.

“I should say thank you.”

He grabbed Kanna, who was trying to leave, and pressed her head hard. Kanna bowed deeply and said, ‘Thank you.’

Adolgu blocked the mouth of the bucket. A thick stream of water flowed down the bucket.

Kanna’s steps became quicker. The bucket she was carrying fell behind her, causing her purple hair to flutter.

At that moment, there was something moving quietly on one side. It was a weasel. Its steps were so stealthy that not even a sound could be heard.

The weasel quickly disappeared in the direction Kanna was heading. When I told Kanna to ‘do well’ on her birthday, she seemed to be moving diligently.

“You’re here-!”

Next came a group of thugs led by Scar. They greeted Kanna politely as if they were their leader.

“Yeah, everyone is having a hard time.”

Kanna’s reaction to receiving him was strangely familiar.

Those who noticed my expression held out their pockets.

I don’t know why they gave Kanna a pouch, but they all had serious faces. Of them, Kanna was the most serious.

“hmm···.”

Kanna, who had been checking her pockets, scratched her chin and let out an ambiguous drool. It was a look I had seen a lot of.

“Okay, this should be enough. Take this and drink some.”

Kanna took a silver coin out of her pocket and held it out to them. Scar accepted it with an exaggerated bow.

Only then did I realize why it felt familiar.

‘···It was me.’

Kanna patted Scar’s hunched shoulder and passed them with faster steps.

I glanced back and saw Scar and Georgia fighting over the silver coins. I clicked my tongue and followed Kanna.

“Captain, you’re here!”

Next were the crew members. I tried to wave my hand in greeting, but it wasn’t directed at me.

Kanna nodded roughly, her head still in a slouched posture. It was a sight I had seen many times.

“Okay, let’s all have a good time.”

Kanna, her voice low, casually touched the club on her waist.

Then their gaze turned towards me. Those with quivering mouths and sparkling purple eyes.

“Hey, Aaron. Why don’t you say hello to Captain Kanna?”

Kel asked, his face looking more grumpy than usual.

I sighed softly and nodded my head. Kanna’s eyes widened. I don’t know why, but she seemed very excited.

“Then would you like to go and report to the captain?”

Berman treated Kanna more politely than he treated me. The corners of Berman’s mouth were constantly twitching.

Kanna pretended to kick Berman in the shin for no reason, and Berman responded with an exaggerated kick.

‘When did I ever do that?’

It seemed like it was adapted with a focus on interest.

I followed Kanna, shaking my head.

“Hey, Aaron. The table is really grim today.”

At that moment, Kel started to grumble-.

“Ahhh!! No, I’m not the leader right now… Ah! No!”

Kel looked up at me with aggrieved eyes. At that moment, Kanna looked back. I grabbed Kel’s shoulder and smiled brightly.

Kel also laughed awkwardly.

Kanna, holding up both thumbs, jumped up and down.

Then we headed to headquarters.

Upon arriving at headquarters, the crew members handed me a small, crude leather armor.

It was a very crude, crude, and ornate armor, but Kanna received it and jumped for joy.

He gave armor to the squirming Kanna. With a bucket, a club, and leather armor, she was the perfect prospect for a guard.

I headed to the captain with an excited Kanna.

The captain was fully armed, unlike usual.

The captain lowered his voice and took hold of the weight.

“Yes, yes, our Kanna Squad Leader. You know I trust her a lot, right? Except for Kanna Squad Leader, the rest of the outer guard is just idiots. I wish there was one more person like Kanna Squad Leader. I really wish Masha had a daughter like Kanna······.”

“Hey, you little pig!”

The report ended with Brick running away, unable to bear it any longer.

“Next is introspection.”

The weasel, now dressed in neat clothes and with his hair pulled back, spoke politely.

By then, Kanna was jumping two steps at a time.

As soon as I entered the inner chamber, Park Daegari came running out with a big smile on his face.

“Kanna!! Happy birthday!”

Kanna, who had apologized, let go of his hand and ran out towards him.

Park Head lifted Kanna up and jumped up and down. Park Head seemed happier than Kanna.

‘You like it more than on your own birthday.’

After that, I saw the haggard abbot. The abbot saw me and approached me, adjusting his clothes.

“What happened?”

I asked, looking at Park Dae-gari running while holding hands with Kanna.

“What can I do? Just a little rest.”

The abbot answered me, looking at me with clearer eyes than before.

When I looked at his face again, it was the same smile as usual. A bright smile that seemed like it would light up the world.

‘You’re so stupidly kind.’

I clicked my tongue slightly.

***

The final destination for Kanna’s birthday was Hae-na’s bar.

The tables were filled with food that seemed to have been prepared by hand, and the large bar was full of people.

Everyone celebrated Kanna’s birthday with a big smile on their faces at Hannah’s declaration that it was free.

Of course, it quickly turned into a drinking party, but that wasn’t a bad thing.

“···This! It’s a gift.”

Kanna held out a small silver bracelet.

When I glanced at it, I saw that the statue that Namaiyad had gifted had become smaller.

‘···Why are you giving me a present?’

When I didn’t accept it, Kanna put the bracelet on my wrist.

“I never thought I would be this happy. ···Thank you so much.”

Kanna, who had finally put the bracelet on my arm, bowed her head deeply.

It’s Kanna’s birthday, but she actually received a gift. I feel like my appetite is getting worse.

He hurriedly searched through his belongings, but all he found were useless things like gold coins and daggers.

If I had known this would happen, I would have prepared in advance.

As always, it was too late for regret.

“···Is there anything you want?”

“It’s okay. I’m already happy enough.”

Kanna gave a polite answer with a childish smile. I scratched my beard.

“It’s okay, just tell me.”

“If that’s true… please make one promise.”

When urged, Kanna opened her mouth cautiously.

“···promise?”

“Yes, I’ll have a fun birthday next year like I did today!”

Kanna shouted cheerfully.

I touched the letter in my pocket.

It was the Middle Ages when it wasn’t strange to die tomorrow. But since it was my birthday next year, I couldn’t answer rashly.

“okay.”

However, I could not help but nod at those bright eyes.

Then, Kanna, smiling brightly, turned the bucket over and climbed onto the table.

Park Daegari and Kanna, who had come closer without us noticing, held hands.

“I am Vivian!”

“I am Kanna!”

Starting with a bizarre introduction, the Deokgu magic show began. The bar became cold, then hot, then thrilling.

I looked at him and poured the thick drink into my mouth.

After finishing her magic show, Kanna fell into a deep sleep, and Park Daegari held her in his arms.

“I’m going to that capital.”

Park Dae-gari looked at me with an unusually hard face and spoke.

I shook my glass and looked into Park’s eyes.

Contrary to what he said, his eyes were cloudy.

“Yes, that’s right.”

As I gave a short answer, Park Dae-gari’s expression became subtle.

“That’s not it…! Please come with me! I heard you’re going to the capital! I’ll go with you too!”

I scratched my beard for a moment as Park’s head returned with his usual loud voice.

Since it was a situation where if Park Daegari went, Kanna had no choice but to go with him, I planned to go with him.

“Then what will you give me?”

“···yes?!”

It was a joke, but Park Daegari’s face darkened in an instant.

The moment he was about to say it was a joke, Park Dae-gari stuck something out.

“I’ll give you this!”

It was a letter of courtesy. It expressed condolences to the Flying Baron who had ruined his children’s farming and took care of him.

“······You can’t sell it!”

Park Dae-gari immediately grabbed my hand and spoke with an unusually serious expression.

“Wasn’t the name written on it in the first place? This won’t sell.”

I clicked my tongue and pushed him away. I thought I’d keep it just in case.

“I’ll be leaving tomorrow.”

“······yes!”

Park nodded at Daegari’s short answer.

The barley that was behind came and grabbed Park’s head.

“Can I take Kanna to my room and sleep with her?!”

I looked around for a moment and nodded. The bar was already in a state of irreparable chaos.

Also, playing with peers will help develop social skills. Park Dae-gari, who was very excited, took Kanna and disappeared.

I picked up the silver coins piled up next to me. They were the silver coins I got from the drinking competition. I started with one silver coin, but before I knew it, there were about twenty silver coins piled up.

He poured the remaining wine in the glass into his mouth.

The three household members who had even started a family were busy cleaning up the drinking party.

“Eleven… Ten? I clearly put in eleven….”

The captain, who was muttering while holding his bleeding nose, was dragged out by the three thugs.

There was an atmosphere in the intestines that was somewhat organized.

At that time, an unlucky guy sat across from me.

The five elders took out a clean glass and a glass bottle containing brown liquid from their bosoms.

‘That’s strange.’

I clicked my tongue as I watched the man pouring the alcohol he brought into my glass.

“I received word from the eldest son. ···The crown prince’s coronation ceremony is being held.”

‘It’s a coronation ceremony…’

I tapped the letter in my arms.

It was an empire with many enemies. It was a tradition passed down through generations that problems arose during the coronation ceremony.

Of course, it all ended in failure, and rather became a minor event that showed the power of the empire.

This wasn’t bad news for me, since it wasn’t the empire I was after.

“The Empire’s sword has been defeated, the cult has turned against the Empire, the number of Imperial Knights has not been increased, and the noble alliance has been fully formed under the Grand Duke. It is truly the perfect time for a great undertaking.”

Knock. The guy put the glass he was drinking from down on the table. His face was still grim, but there was something uneasy about it.

I felt the bastard’s discomfort and chuckled.

“Do you know why a trap is a trap?”

“What kind of stupid question is that?”

I clicked my tongue at his question. I looked around for something suitable.

Place the three bones that fell down on the table, one in the center and the other two around it.

“Okay, let’s think about it carefully. There’s a cake here. No, it’s a family home, so don’t look away.”

He spoke, tapping the bone in the middle.

“···I didn’t turn it.”

“If it’s such an obvious cake, then of course it’s a trap. Like if you grab the cake, the ground will collapse, or a poisoned arrow will fly at you.”

He moved the two bones placed on the edge slightly. They were quite sharp, as if someone had eaten them, so they looked like a trap.

“Ah, this is what I need. This is the house of the guys who set the trap.”

I picked up a few small bones and set them aside. They looked quite thick, but they were not as attractive as the cake in the center.

“Then how can I eat cake?”

He asked, pointing to the bones lying there. The guy’s face became somewhat complicated.

“I’ll buy it separately.”

The man who had been squirming spoke firmly.

When I shook my head, the guy’s face got really wrinkled.

“We need to take care of other places first.”

I pointed to the piled bones and said, It was an industry secret, but what I was about to do could not be done alone.

“···What is that?”

“They say that even those who set traps tend to focus on them. The more certain they are that they will definitely get bitten, the more they will focus on them. Now, look at the poison arrow here. It’s pointed at the cake, right? This guy is also looking at the cake. Then where are those bones?”

I knocked on the table. Knock knock. The table shook slightly, and the bones that had been placed upright fell over. As if I had lost my bearings.

“······.”

There was no answer, but the expressions of the five elders became strange.

“Well, the cake is the coronation. Except for the coronation, there’s no other occasion where it comes out. Everyone will be looking for it with bloodshot eyes. Just like you.”

The coronation ceremony was the only occasion when the emperor or crown prince left the imperial palace. That is why there was always an uproar at each coronation ceremony.

“···.”

The bastard ground his teeth without answering. The sound was quite refreshing, as if his teeth were strong for no reason.

“There’s even bad information being spread to the Empire, so everyone will think like you. The Empire is shaking! There won’t be another good opportunity like this!”

I shook the bone in the middle wildly. It looked delicious. However, it didn’t have much effect.

“···What are you trying to say?”

The guy asked with a subtle expression. He seemed to be more stupid than I thought. Or was he more desperate for revenge than I thought?

Originally, a person who was obsessed with one thing was bound to not be able to see his surroundings. This was a fatal trap for rookie avengers.

Since ancient times, to succeed in revenge, you must always have a hot fist but a cool head.

“It’s only natural that there would be problems at the coronation. It’s always been like that. But holding the coronation under these difficult conditions? That must mean you’re confident. And you’re probably planning to weed out the rebels all at once.”

I picked up more bones and lined them up along the border. Since there were bones lying around on the floor, I used my generosity to fill the table with them.

It was a heavily surrounded situation around the cake bones.

Gulp. The sound of the saliva being swallowed by the five intestines was unusually loud. He must have felt it too, because he cleared his throat.

“Of course, this one is the most important. If we catch this one, it will be a one-hit wonder, as you said, but there is a high chance of failure. ··· But what about these?”

I pointed to the bones that had been collected on one side. They were not bad, even though they were covered by the cake. When stacked, they looked like stairs.

“I can’t see both sides… so it must be relatively empty.”

The five elders who had been muttering softly looked at me with astonished eyes. It seemed as if they finally understood.

It was an expression befitting an uncivilized medieval man.

I enjoyed him and then I cleaned out the bones.

“So we’re not cake-.”

I twirled my finger,

It was quite funny how the bastard’s eyes followed me.

“This is where they’re aiming.”

Then he tapped on the bone cluster.

The fragile bones shattered and scattered.

“In this case, it would be the palace.”

I was a career palace demolition worker.

The five elders, whose expressions had never changed, expressed shock and admiration with their whole faces.

The eyes directed at me became somewhat burdensome.

‘This is the cake for me.’

I swallowed my words as I wiped the oil off my hands.

It was just that our interests aligned.

To me, he was just one of my bones.
