Chapter 152.2: Dangerous Guest (1)

Jyanina cursed Caenerna. No matter how she thought about it, this Count knew too much about magic and wizards. The only person who could have told him was Caenerna.

Yes! Impossible!

This was not a lie. The magic to command a monster army was not something humans could use. Even leading a few monsters around required tremendous magic.

Johan clicked his tongue in disappointment. Jyanina clearly saw it. And she was convinced.

This Count is definitely not a devout man!

Your abilities seem too lacking compared to Caenerna-gong.

Originally, Jyanina was not stupid enough to fall for such shabby provocations.

But as people get pushed around in difficult situations, their level drops.

Jyaninas voice changed bitterly.

I dont know who His Excellency trusts more for you to say that.

Does my voice sound. . . dissatisfied to you?

Oh no. No no no.

Her voice instantly turned sweet and mellow again. Johan put a few grapes in his mouth and said,

I see. Even if your magic is weak, I can expect other abilities. Is there a way to persuade the viscount?

. . .?

Johan unconsciously looked at Karamaf. But Karamaf stomped his front paws in irritation, pointing at Jyanina. Jyanina was shivering in humiliation.

Are you hungry?

The city people did not treat Jyanina or the Emperors knights with extreme hospitality.

Of course they didnt give them something bad like hard black bread. They gave them warm bread, soup, freshly roasted meat. The knights ate and drank well with that, but Jyanina could not.

Wizards were more delicate than knights by nature. Being pushed around and attacked so much killed her appetite too.

Seeing the luxurious feast laid out before Johan while she was starving, her stomach moved on its own.

Did the knights take your meals?

. . . . . .

Tsk tsk. Hey. Bring food and drink to this wizard.

It was even more humiliating that he arbitrarily took care of her, but her stomach awakened from hunger made Jyanina obedient. She meekly accepted the treatment.

.

Jyanina really ate well. Having lived in the Emperors palace, her every move followed etiquette, but there was a hint of wildness.

About the viscount. . . it will be hard to persuade, Your Excellency. What about persuading his children instead?

His children?

What did I say before?

You, you clearly said you would visit as a guest. . .

Am I not going as a guest?

The mercenaries around Johan smiled slyly at his equivocating words.

You say you go as a guest, but what about all these ships. . .

They are my escort. You arent worried about my safety. So I decided to be a bit more careful as well.

The sub-captains beside him chimed in agreement.

We really couldnt send you off alone, Your Excellency.

Thank you for heeding our advice!

. . . . . .

The two knights gaped, at a loss for words.

There had to be at least a thousand to two thousand troops. What guest would visit with such forces?

You should have told us beforehand at the very least!

Didnt I say I would visit?

Y-Yes, you did.

Of course, the servant he sent was currently imprisoned on another ship. He would be released with his mouth tightly shut after they landed.

Oblivious to this, the knights groaned. Why was Johan acting this way?

Did he want to impress others with his might? Or did he have some other plan?

Dont worry too much.

Huh?

On second thought, while we didnt know, the viscount and his men likely realized it. They probably prepared for any surprise moves from Count Yeats.

. . .!

Hearing this, it made sense. If Johan said he would visit as a guest, they probably werent surprised. A seasoned viscount would have noticed and made preparations.

.

We wouldnt leave an honored guest waiting outside for long.

. . .??!!

As the welcoming nobles panicked, the fleet smoothly docked and finished disembarking like flowing water. The mercenaries loudly shouted war cries as they set foot on land.

Y-You havent made any preparations?

What preparations?!
