Chapter 1180

Episode 1180. Benzel! Don’t do anything you’ll regret!

next day.

Viscount Camilo Kusman, the commander of the Knights, called Benzel to his office.

As soon as Benzel saw the knight commander, he said as if he felt unfair.

“Captain William did nothing wrong. Rather, he did the wrong thing. If it hadn’t been for William, I would have drawn the sword.”

“Even if you did, the results would not have changed.”

“Captain! William and I are also ordained knights. A knight can do that much! The investigation must have been completed last night, so why are you still not releasing it?”

“It is not that simple.”

“What’s complicated? All William said was when he saw the task force driver harassing me.”

“Did you even pull out the knife?”

“The opponent chose first, so William had no choice but to respond. Check with the other people in the tavern.”

“I checked. They say that William started the fight with the task force driver.”

“It is a lie!”

“Even if it looked like that in their eyes, the task force must have tried their hand. The important thing is that the investigation turned out that way.”

“So what? What will you do with William?”

“Not only can you be disqualified from being a knight, but you can also be hanged.”

“Nonsense. Are you saying you’re going to kill a knight for false testimony? Is that what honorable knights serving the emperor do?”

At that moment, the knight commander hit the table with all his might.

Boom!

“Benzel! Don’t make fun of your mouth! The opponent is the special task force of the Inspection Department. Do you think it would be difficult to kill one or two knights appointed by them?”

“...”

Benzel trembled, but couldn’t refute.

In fact, it was because even the great nobles in the center had that much power. Not to mention the special task force of the Inspection Department.

It is possible to make and kill even an innocent crime, but in this case, even a witness has been secured.

William’s fate was in the hands of the task force.

The knight commander, who was staring at Benzel in despair, suddenly asked.

“What is your relationship with William?”

“I’m a year senior at the Knight Academy.”

“Is that all?”

“Is that all there is to it? no. He was a very righteous knight.”

Knight Commander Camilo Kusman was relieved that the relationship between the two was not between a man and a woman.

If it had happened, it would have ended very tragically.

“There is one way to save William.”

“What is it?”

“You just need to become His Excellency’s lover. If so, William’s disgrace can be forgiven. Because William was out to protect the honor of the Marquis. At that time, it would be forgiven even if he drew his sword against the viscount rather than the baron. Do you know what I mean?”

“...”

Unexpectedly, Benzel didn’t say anything for a while.

After a while, Benzel opened his mouth.

“Are you pretending to be lovers? Are we supposed to be real lovers?”

“Yes, of course it is real. It is an opportunity to become a woman of the Grand Duke of Knauf. Do you think there are only one or two aristocratic families aiming for that position? Even for you...”

“Are you asking me to become one of the many women the Marquis passed through?”

“The Marquis doesn’t just throw away the woman he’s drunk. You pay the price you deserve. Whether it’s money or a title, whatever the other person wants. Women related to the Marquis also draw attention from social circles. Are you going to refuse a position that could bring you great benefits?”

“Selling yourself for money and a title? How is that different from a prostitute? Are you asking me to become a prostitute? Knight Commander?”

The head of the knights, who was startled, let out a long breath and calmed the fever.

“William stood out for you, was arrested and awaits hanging. Could you be the Marquis’s lover for him and yourself?”

“no. If I become a prostitute for William, he will be ashamed.”

“You are... quite a selfish person.”

“Aren’t you ashamed to say that a person who refuses to become a prostitute is selfish? Do I have to tell you who is selfish?”

The knight commander suppressed his boiling anger and once again tried to persuade.

“The Archduchess of Knauf is the pillar that supports the empire. It’s the only family that doesn’t have to disarm when meeting the Emperor. As a woman, it is an honor to receive the Grand Duchess of Knauf. Do you know how many noble ladies are aiming for the position you say is a courtesan?”

It was true.

“It’s not been a while since Viscount, it’s the first time we’ve been to the sea.”

Fabian, who was looking at the dark clouds with a nervous face, made a sound.

“Oh yeah? Why do I think I’ve seen it before?”

“All I saw before was fog.”

Captain Althelm turned the prow toward the dark clouds for the northern nobles.

When sailing, you often encounter dark clouds.

Dark clouds are not avoided by avoiding them – when the routes coincide – there were times when we jumped in without avoiding them like now.

“How does the scale of Delos look?”

“It is great. Are you leaving tomorrow morning?”

“Ask all but the essentials to go inside. If you fall into the sea for no reason, you won’t even get a corpse.”

“All right. What about the northern nobles?”

“Leave it alone. They will figure it out.”

Delos ran out of the wheelhouse without delay.

After a while, the sailors on the deck went inside and only Elio and his party remained.

Elio said as Fabian removed the awning.

“Fabian, you go inside with the Count.”

“yes.”

Fabian refused to stay.

It was the same for the sword master, Count Larva Omar.

As we got closer to the dark clouds, the wind got stronger and the waves got rougher.

Count Omar, who has lived on land all his life, was afraid of the wild sea.

Fabian and Count Omar of Larva had to hold on to each other and walk precariously as the deck was tilted by the big waves.

Elio moved to the side of the mast, grabbed the pole with one hand, and stared into the sea.

Thinking that there was a star somewhere in this roaring sea made my blood boil.

Finally, the magic sailboat went into the dark clouds.

Shoot aaaaaaaaaaa!

Wheein-!

slam-! slam-!

Rain, wind, and waves hit the magic sailboat without rest.

The magic sailboat floated like a leaf in the stormy dark sea.

Captain Althelm held the rudder with both hands and kept his eyes on the waves.

Right now, I had to focus on surviving, whether it was the sky star or whatever.

Althelm sometimes conforms to the waves and sometimes fights against them.

The waves were so high that they crashed over the deck without stopping.

Even worse, he shouted at the helmsman Dilos.

“There will be no need to raise sails! Send all the crew inside!”

“yes!”

At the command of the captain, Dilos was thrown out again.

The sailors who held on to the sail line moved inside one by one.

Finally, as Dilos was about to turn, the boat suddenly tipped to one side.

In an instant, Dilos’ body floated up into the air and then plunged into the sea.

It really happened in an instant.

‘Ah!’ An exclamation flowed out.

Wouldn’t it be a calm sea?

Falling into the sea in a storm meant death.

that’s when

Elio, who remained on deck, grabbed the rope and ran forward.

Soon after, he leaped into the air and threw the rope he was holding.

Whiririk-.

A rope that flew in a straight line entwined Delos floating on the sea.

Elio snapped his hand, and Dilos’ body floated into the air.

Elio, who had fished up Delos, stepped on the air and returned to the deck.
