Chapter 21.2

(EP-21.2) Angmar #1

021 – Peaceful Angmar #1

“You bastard, King Angmar died ages ago!”

━King Angmar didn't die, King will come back! For the abandoned races, King will come back and lead again!

Kwaaa— The ogre roared.

“That's it.”

In the midst of all the commotion, I could clearly hear Aira's soft voice. When she snapped her fingers, the ogre's body suddenly floated into the air.

━Gorgor in the sky. Gorgor flying!

Said ogre was then smashed into the lake.

Goreureureureu- Pungdong, pungdong.

He sank to the very bottom, struggling to and fro. However, his gigantic body could never float up to the surface, as if he was held underwater by an invisible force.

“It, it’s a miracle!”

“Is this the power of Queen Aira?”

“The ogre, who treated a heavily-equipped knight like a child, was defeated with just a simple snap....”

There was a sense of fear and awe in the eyes of the soldiers watching this scene. Truly, a Rank 7 Archmage transcended Human beings...

It was majestic. A once-in-a-lifetime experience that you had to witness with your own eyes.

Seuk, seukseuk-

Everyone laid down their weapons, bent their knees and bowed their heads. Before them, the Queen of Angmar stood proudly.

This wasn't a bad thing.

The soldiers would soon spread the word of this exploit among the people.

However, I just couldn't let it end like this.

“Aira-nim, how about letting him go?”

“This ogre has insulted the royal authority, yet you want to let him live?”

Aira was intent on killing the ogre.

In fact, Aira was right. We should not keep a rampant monster alive. Nevertheless, I didn't want Aira to commit murder.

Also, I had another reason for wanting to save the ogre.

“I'm sure the wise Aira-nim already knows. Ogres are stupid and can't think of taking over a castle without someone's command."

“... That's true.”

“If Aira-nim is using water torture to find out who is behind the ogre, I think now is the right time to get him up for interrogation.”

"Yes, it’s exactly what I was thinking.”

━It's more shocking than not having the right to whip!

━Then what about the right to whip slaves once a day?

I badly wanted to make some retorts to these remarks, but decided to hold back.

After all, this was a revolt by an angry worker because he didn't get paid.

I thought something like this would happen, so I strengthened the rights of slaves and the like.

━Gorgor! Have rights to confront injustice!

However, I was curious about the other issue.

As mentioned, ogres were not intelligent enough to understand complex things like rights and laws. Someone must have instigated this...

Gorgor wouldn’t have acted like this on his own. He must have picked up the words somewhere. So, I asked again.

“Gorgor, did anyone tell you to do this? Maybe someone who talked about rights and laws?”

This might be an opportunity to spot those who were plotting a rebellion.

━There is, same smell as you.

Seueuk.

Immediately, I felt everyone's eyes on me...

Why are you looking at me like that?

It wasn’t me!

This was the first time I saw this guy.

“Theo...”

Aira then called me from behind.

Hearing this, my body went rigid.

I hurriedly defended myself.

“I did not do it. I just met this ogre for the first time today!”

Tuktuk— I kicked the ogre's hard skin in frustration. But then, his hazy brown eyes lit up.

━ No, Gorgor feels like, met you somewhere.

"What?" Without realizing it, I started speaking informally. However, Gorgor soon closed his eyes.

━But the person Gorgor met yesterday was woman. She spoke about Human rights. Said that Gorgor's labor should be valued...

What was that?

Someone in this world who actually talked about Human rights? I wanted to meet them, even if only once!
