Chapter 3: The Assault (1)

Jamie wiped her mouth with a napkin and said to everyone with a satisfied look on her face.

"The dinner prepared by Harmonia was really delicious. It was an honor to be able to taste precious delicacies that are hard to find even in Seldam."

The nobles of Harmonia only smiled shyly, and no one was willing to answer.

It was because the real owner of the kingdom, Marquis Helm, who sat on the opposite side of the table, noticed.

Either way, Jamie continued what she was saying.

"Especially, Viscount Capri here brought the food himself, so it was even more delicious. Thank you, Viscount."

" It was an honor for me."

Viscount Capri had a very proud face, but he didn't show it as much as he could because he was an opponent.

Lennon held back the laughter that seemed to come out at any moment.

Anne looked at the motive with a look of disapproval, and Hera slowly savored the coffee served for dessert.

"You must have been tired from coming, but today, you will go back and rest. We will have a meeting about the schedule starting tomorrow."

"Is that so?"

Jamie nodded and got up from her seat, and opened her mouth to the Marquis Helm as if thinking of something to say.

Oh yeah. I'm talking to you all of a sudden... ."

Please speak.

"I want the servant to live unscathed. The same goes for other breeds. They are busy people, aren't they? Unlike everyone else."

Marquis Helm answered in a natural tone without changing his face.

"Of course. You will have nothing to worry about."

"It is also noble. Noblesse Oblige. That's cool. Right, Viscount Capri?"

" Yeah.

"Then I'm tired, so I'll take a break. see you tommorow.

"Sir Welton Jr. is heading to the bedroom, so please kindly guide me."

Okay.

The waiting attendant answered and took the lead in front of Jamie and the others.

The nobles of Harmonia could not say anything until they left.

* * *

"My stomach hurts."

Lennon said, exhaling as if the old jam had gone.

As a high-ranking nobleman in Seldam, although he had been harassing his older brother and other nobles, he never lived by persecuting commoners.

Even if it's not noble oblige, at least you shouldn't become an aristocrat who would be insulted by them.

It is possible to be disrespected, but hated nobles do not last long.

That's what Count Simon always said.

Although he had a cold personality and strong individualistic tendencies, he always kept the principles he set for governing the Youngji people.

It wasn't for nothing that made Regen the largest commercial city.

Yes. I was a little shocked that there is a country with such a strong sense of choice."

Ando complained about whether he could agree with Lennon's words.

Even in the Kingdom of Seldam, there are nobles who have a strong sense of choice, but it is the first time I have seen anyone utter such ignorant remarks in front of an envoy from another country.

"Other nobles did not say much about it. He probably acted like it was natural."

"That is the worst feeling. It was such a disgusting country. Master. Do I really need to help this country?"

Jamie just smiled and didn't answer.

Lennon grumbled, 'I don't know what you're thinking,' as if it's frustrating to see him like that.

It was around the time we got home.

"Can I talk to you for a moment?"

Someone called Jamie from behind.

Everyone turned around, and there was a handsome young man standing there.

Between his thick eyebrows and his slightly wrinkled brow, I got the impression that he was a pretty stubborn person.

Who are you ."

"My name is Neo Fatal. I want to talk to you about something that happened a while ago, would you mind?"

"Who knows who you are and does our master give you time?"

When Lennon stopped him in front of him and looked at him with alert eyes, Neo laughed and explained himself in more detail.

"This is Count Neo Fatal, lord of Harmonia Abare, little gentleman."

"Kid, kid?"

Unlike Anne, who is now a wife and daughter, Lennon, who is still short, used the word "little" to be a forbidden word.

"I am not a kid !"

"You were the Count."

Before Lennon crashed, Jamie first stood forward, pushing his face back.

Master from behind! , but Anne grabbed him by the neck and led him into the room first.

Hera also consciously vacated the seat.

"Shall we go to a quiet place?"

* * *

Jamie and Neo moved.

They approached the patio where there were few people and started talking while looking at the moonlight.

So, what's going on?

"It was impressive how it looked a while ago."

"A little while ago ."

Neo clenched his fists as if he couldn't forget.

"Did you let Marquis Helm experience such humiliation? I was quite impressed."

haha. I don't know what you believe in insulting the Marquis.

But Jamie didn't take it easy.

Now that you don't know the intentions of the other person, you never know if something difficult will happen if you go straight ahead.

As if Neo had remembered that too, he quickly noticed his mistake.

Ah. I'm so excited. It's a first draft, though."

right. If I tell the Marquis of Helm about this, he'll be in a lot of trouble.

"There is nothing more difficult."

At Neo's unwavering expression, Jamie looked at him with a rather interesting look.

'Have anyone already been against the Marquis Helm?'

I thought it was a one-man dictatorship, but it didn't seem like that.

Even so, seeing that the king was manipulated like a puppet, it seemed right that this force did not use much power.

"Are you here to talk about that?"

"I came here because I wanted to see what kind of person you are."

i See.

" And I want to make one request."

blue?

Neo asked Jamie with a serious face.

"How was the harmonia you experienced today?"

"What is the meaning of the question?"

"It is literally. Please be honest."

Jamie looked at Neo and scratched his chin in reply.

"It was bullshit. How is this country? Similar country papers. In a situation like this, it would be no exaggeration to say that we have entered the path of extinction."

haha "

Because he inserted the facts too hard, Neo made a face that he couldn't tell whether he was smiling or crying.

But there wasn't a single word that was wrong, so I couldn't answer anything.

If you have to listen quietly even if your mark is cursed, you have to make a face that is so painful as you do now.

"You probably didn't come here to confirm that."

Yes. I thought I could ask you to confirm what you think."

"What is your request?"

" Please help us bring down Harmonia."

Jamie couldn't even open her mouth at the unexpected request.

I don't understand what you're hearing now.

"Hey, just what ?"

"More precisely, help us bring down the current system. In return, Harmonia will become a vassal of Seldam."

I don't know how much Neo's influence was, but I didn't know that these words would come out of the mouth of a single subject.

That was a clear rebellion plot, and passed the baton to Jamie, a foreigner.

Jamie, who wanted to think for a moment, said to Neo.

"I pretend I didn't hear it."

Then, as I was about to leave, I heard Neo's voice from behind.

"Even in different countries, please help those who are suffering. Harmonia or Seldam, after all, it is a world where everyone lives."

" ."

"And I don't think my proposal is bad for the Kingdom of Seldam either. Wouldn't it be good if Seldam's current situation increased by one more force?

"That is true, though."

Do you want to join someone else's rebellion?

Of course, King Friedmoor had been given the authority to do whatever he wanted.

So, whatever you did, it was Jamie's heart.

As Jamie hesitated, Neo continued to speak.

"The current king has already fallen. The Marquis of Helm, by his clerk. He continues to drink and take drugs, and his dementia has progressed so well that he can't even remember what he said. Marquis Helm controls such a king at will. In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that the king of Harmonia is a marquis. Although the nobles of this country are obsessed with the idea of the chosen people, it was not to this extent when his predecessor was alive. Today's Harmonia is a country that should no longer exist. Please, please, help me."

"Did you talk to your side?"

That's right.

Jamie wiped his face dry once, then quickly walked up to Neo and grabbed him by the neck.

Neo made a bewildered face at his sudden action.

"Foolish bastards. It's so pathetic to see you reaching out to people from other countries because you're incompetent. You're going to hand over Harmonia? Do you know how a country as small as a grain of poop would be of much help to us?"

that's ."

"Have you tried your best? I'm not asking you to just say that the Master is coming from Seldam, so you're right?

no!

"You guys have to live with shame. Juanmuchi who are willing to sell even their own country. In my eyes, you and Helm don't look very different. Overturn a rotten country? There is no assumption that Seldam is going to explode here?"

Neo couldn't say anything.

This is because he confirmed that there was no difference between the Marquis Helm, who directly controls the king and governs the state, and the confidence that he would sacrifice his country.

However, there was one thing that was not acceptable.

However!

Neo opened his eyes and shouted.

"At least not in a world where everyone suffers!"

What?

I know. How funny what I'm saying. But because there's nothing I can do. If it continues like this, it will be ruined in vain. However, if there is a way, you can let go of all your pride. If you can catch it, shouldn't it be right to hold it?

" ."

"Harmonia is my country, my hometown, and my home. I know it's wrong for me to hand over such a place to another country, but still... Wouldn't a lesser evil be better than this hell, Sir Welton Jr.?

Jamie saw Neo's eyes lit up.

A grown man sheds tears as he suffers from the absurd reality.

put his neck down

Then he turned around and walked out of there.

Neo looked at Jamie's back and said with a determined face.

"Today, I will show you my resolve."

I don't know what kind of resolution it was, but Jamie just raised an eyebrow.

* * *

Go-!

"Ok!"

Viscount Capri screamed in pain.

He was kneeling in the dark basement with his arms tied. There were elongated cuts all over the back.

" How dare I suffer such humiliation because of you?"

Behind him stood Marquis Helm, gasping for breath with a whip.

He sharpened his teeth with poison eyes and swung his whip.

squash-!

"Aww! Sin, sorry! Dragon, forgive me... !"

"Shut up, you're worse than this bug!"

"Aww!"

Marquis Helm struck the whip without mercy with his red eyes. In the end, Viscount Capri passed away.

The marquis stopped just then, threw a whip soaked in blood on the floor and remembered what had happened.

" Jamie Wellton."

I had never experienced such humiliation in my life.

To look at him with such a cold face, who is no less than the king of Harmonia.

He didn't even want to speak in person, so he gave me silent pressure to tell me instead.

The problem is that he did it himself.

"Fuck the dog!!!"

Unable to contain his anger, Helm ran to the Viscount Capri and slammed his head in the head.

Viscount Capri, who had already stopped breathing, only shook like a doll.

"Don't leave me alone. Never let go... !"

He was the one who paid back a hundredfold for what he suffered.

That was then.

"Who, Marquis!"

A subordinate hurriedly ran and called him.

The Marquis looked back with an annoyed face.

What's up?

"It's a big deal, it's a big deal!"

What?

"The Liberation Army We have entered the capital."

The marquise's face was contorted.
