Leaving behind Krul, who had pledged to protect the honor of the tribe so that people could go to the city without any conflict, I and Asillie returned to the capital carrying the slavers.
I wanted to earn some pocket money by robbing all of their tents and corpses, but since the raid had already been carried out unilaterally, I held back tears because I thought I should exclude as much as possible any strange excuses such as saying that the purpose was plunder and that he has no honor. just came back
Of course, there’s no way he’d be honorable and nasty to bastards who buy and sell people as slaves, but the opponents are nobles. No matter how much I give excuses, the number of people I have to kill increases.
While returning home, I heard many stories, including the amazing fact that beastmen’s teeth grow back like fingernails even if they fall out, so arriving in the capital was a matter of seconds. In the middle of the night, the guards who found the man who was carrying a person tied up asked questions to do their duty, but when they confidently said that it was just a way to catch the criminal, it passed more smoothly than expected. Every time like this, I’m really confused about whether security is good or bad.
The Ogatorf Mansion, which he arrived at after going through such a trivial checkpoint, was not only not extinguished even though it would normally have been turned off a long time ago, but also the servants were busy moving.
“What is this?”
She brought presents, but when she was about to get upset because no one was paying attention, what caught her eye was Cheryl with the butler.
“Ah, Eldmia. You just arrived. I was on the way to transport Yen Tie, who you brought, to my father’s place.”
“Yen Tie? Who’s that... Ah, Mongsoon’s name is Yan Tie?”
“...So you were calling me by a bizarre pseudonym whose origin is unknown. If it’s correct to talk about a person who serves a dream, that person’s name is Yan Tie. More than that, who else is that on your shoulder?”
“Slave trader. This is the documentary evidence.”
When I put the bag containing this and that document on the floor together with the guy who was still in a faint state, not only Cheryl but even the butler couldn’t control their expressions and looked at me in surprise and asked.
“Oh my God. How did you kidnap them?”
“They killed everyone and saved only this kid and kidnapped them. The enslaved people distributed the property they collected on the spot and left them to go on their own.”
It was the butler who couldn’t help admiring and Cheryl who was shocked when he conveyed the truth calmly.
“You killed them all?”
“All of them... Oh, noona. Did all the kids who ran away at the end die?”
“huh.”
“That’s right. Then it must be true that all but one of them are dead. That one is a boy.”
I thought I’d be happy to have new evidence, but Cheryl stared at the creature lying on the floor with an oddly calm attitude before talking to me.
“Eldmia. Of course, this is a huge help, but... You may have more to deal with than you think. Will it be okay?”
“What can you afford?”
“...It turns many nobles into enemies.”
Did you get a message from Lord Ekaf while I was gone? It was a very serious and serious reaction Cheryl, but honestly, I laughed out loud.
“It’s wrong. I’m not turning them into enemies, they’re turning me into enemies, and it’s not my job to handle it, it’s them.”
I’d like to say that I’m just an ordinary citizen with a hobby of splitting the heads of those who touch me... but when I think about it, unlike the proud ones, the ugly ones are more common in the world.
“Hmm. Withdrawal. Doesn’t sound normal.”
“Speaking of that. An ordinary person begged the imperial princess to work.”
“No, it’s a bit unfair to say that it’s work...
” Asillie shrugged her shoulders, not paying attention to my trivial rebuttal.
“Anyway. Everyone can’t boast to others, so their mouths are itchy. Even so, let alone brag, they don’t dare to say it out of their mouths, so what if it’s not that they don’t have greed?”
“That’s just part of a grand plan.”
“plan?”
Despite putting on a puzzled expression, Asilier knew better than anyone else that what I could call a plan was ultimately related to revenge, so he didn’t rush for an answer.
“Ah, I don’t even know what level of work I’ve been doing up to now. As my sister knows, I’m quite clever compared to my peers. Shouldn’t I be on the list of people worthy of a face madam?”
In the yard where the war is prolonged, if the news spreads that there was even a sign of treason, the gloomy world will become more gloomy than it already is. At such times, it is the same everywhere to try to create a positive atmosphere by asserting the existence of a hero.
I don’t know how many hero candidates there are for that, but if you add up the fact that I’ve already stopped Favaera’s Great Destruction, the demons in the abandoned dungeon, and the rescue of Esmue, I’m not really missing or lacking in such a list of hero candidates.
“From the moment you win there, you will be playing around with the circumstances of the kingdom, but I will increase the chance of winning by bragging about what I have done.”
And the moment you bite the reward and power that is thrown as an excuse, you will use it to the bone.
I wouldn’t know if I was a guy with no purpose, but now I can’t even begin.
“Right now, it’s all just distractions. So I’ll have to go wild and drop it off the list. Wealth and power are after the vengeance.”
Unless it’s part of a plan that I voluntarily spend time on, it’s not acceptable to be swayed by others.
That’s why you can’t be silent and not even shouting at the guys who are getting on your nerves, so they lead you to a chaos by hitting a big game.
It was definitely a benefit, but I want to be recognized as an ambiguous guy to praise.
“Then what about Esmuye?”
“huh?”
“Even if the kingdom is so ruthless, Esmuer will never just cover up your achievements, right?”
“That’s an unexpected setback to my perfect plan. Maybe the future me will do something about it.”
“Really... even if you want to be elaborate, it’s just nonsense.”
Assilie shook her head with a faint smile, I couldn’t refute anything.
