My Villains Episode 111

28. Longville (3)

Utequai’s expression hardened when the old lord gave him a big look.

It’s the first time I’ve seen this guy get scared-

“Fuck!”

– You madman.

The lord’s face crumpled at Utequai’s cool belch.

“This rude guy”

“The rude one is the lord.”

“What!”

“The three of us have been favored by Prince Ulkar.”

Utequai leaned against the backrest and pointed at me.

“I am a knight of Prince Phoenix. However, in front of Phoenix, he mocked the prince and laughed at his misfortune. impolite.”

After saying that, he patted the stomach as if he was satisfied, and the lord shook his body.

“This savage... then you’re saying I should at least praise the prince? The bastard who crippled me!”

“If you don’t know, keep your mouth shut. That is the smartest thing.”

Oh, it was so cool inside that I forgot to dry it. The

angry

lord jumped out of his seat and stood up.

“Sir Killian, take these guys right now-” The lord, who was puking his cheeks while glaring at Utequai and me, shook his head as if he had suddenly come up with another idea.

“-No, no.”

He muttered that, and then smiled a wicked smile.

“You came to Longville to cross Mt. Graduil, right?”

“...That’s right.”

“Then I guess you should join me in digging the road too? Because the silver prince’s knight won’t be able to roll the tail.” The hazy eyes turned to me. A clear malice is felt in the blurry eyes.

I asked back, facing the malice.

“Do you need help?”

“help? Hehe help?”

The lord, who had been giggling low, nodded.

“You are like a knight of Prince Ulkar. How can you be so arrogant?”

“......”

“Yes. I will give you a good chance. Prove your skills until the hunting festival is over.”

hunting? what is hunting?

“Do you deserve to be so arrogant after seeing the achievements you have been hunting, or are you just a braggart? I will judge.”

The lord emptied the wine glass at once. Then, wiping his mouth with his sleeve, he continued.

“It doesn’t matter what you run away from. Instead, the whole kingdom will laugh at Prince Ulkar. I mean, I was afraid of dogs, so I had a knight with a wagging tail.”

“Maybe it would be wiser to run away. If you struggle hard enough and don’t get any results, you’ll be paying the price for being rude to the lord.”

“flaw. Funny words”

Utequai, who was about to say something, hurriedly shut his mouth.

I remembered the time when I became a knight for a while. Then he smiled brightly at the lord.

“The prince has ordered me to do something.”

“...Ulkar?”

“yes. ‘Protect the weak and do good’. This is the only order from the prince.”

“So I’m happy to help. Baron Mallory.”

The lord’s face turned red. The old man, who was flinching as if he was about to shout something, gritted his teeth and said:

“Looks like the meal is over. Just turn it off.”

“I am very sorry about this. I should have warned you in advance.”

Sir Killian scratched his bluish chin and continued.

“You mean my forgetfulness has gotten worse lately. Please understand.”

“No, Sir, you have nothing to apologize for.”

I pointed to Utequai following and sighed.

Viscount Mallory, who was finally free, faced the cold treatment of his master. In addition to that, he lost most of his viscount Wei (位) and his territory that had been guarded for three generations.

“The shock of that time must have made him old like that.”

I don’t know if I should call this sad or sad.

And whatever my feelings, I can certainly see why the baron hates Prince Ulkar.

Guided by Sir Killian, they arrived at a large bar called ‘Golden Sword’.

It was a particularly conspicuous building even from a distance. This is because, unlike most of the buildings around it and the surrounding buildings, the roof is covered with red tiles.

In addition, there was even a stable attached to one side. Sitting in front of the stable was a young man who looked to be in his late teens. When he saw us, he quickly shook his butt and ran.

“Give me the reins. Are you going to stay?”

“Do you have a room?”

“There are probably three or four left. There are so many rooms.”

The young man with a smile on his face and an impressive pair of teeth said while brushing the spotted hair.

“Hey, this guy is very handsome. What kind of fodder should I take with me’?” “What do you have?”

“Forage and hay cost one penny a day, and these oats cost two pennies a day.”

“Are there any beans?”

“Uh, I’ll mix it with oats for three pennies.”

Suddenly, the crazy quotes from when South Harbor was under siege come to mind. I had to pay three pennies for a bowl of oatmeal.

But here, enough oats to feed a horse are sold for just two pennies. I know now that this is a common case, but somehow I can’t adapt. too cheap

He handed the young man a silver coin.

“Now, oats and beans for four days.”

“all right.”

Then he gave me one more and said,

“Take care of me whenever you have a chance. Brush and change litter often. If you do a good job, I’ll give you another penny.”

“Yep I see!”

I heard from a village I passed that the labor cost for people like this young man who did chores was cheaper than expected.

Even after working hard all day, the daily wage is only a penny or two. Yes, not a silver coin, but a penny or two.

So it was only natural that the young man, who had received almost two weeks’ wages in tips, was overjoyed. The young man, whose face flushed, quickly tied a speckle to the stable and raised the saddle.

“Now, follow me, Nari! I’ll get you a good seat.”

“No, the meal is ready, so reserve a room.”

“yep!”

The tavern that the young man entered was operated as a restaurant and bar on the first floor, and guest rooms on the second and third floors.

It was a very typical structure, but one of its characteristics was that it was the largest among the inns I had ever seen.

While looking around the first floor, the inn became quiet for a while.

“......what?”

“Isn’t that guy a knight?”

“Wow X is big. Are you human?”

“That looks like a savage from the west.”

Curious glances and low whispers.

It was something I was used to by now.

“Hmm.”

I looked through a little over forty guests. Judging by their appearance and outfit, most of them seemed to be mercenaries. It was not easy to look at the face as everyone averted their eyes or lowered their heads.

It seems that Mr. Perso is not going up. It’s a bit unfortunate.

We were guided by a young man and immediately took a room. Ellen and I rented the entire double room across Utequai from the quad room. With eight pieces of silver, I paid four days’ worth in advance.

While Ellen was taking a bath, I approached the table of formidable mercenaries.

“Hey friends. Can I sit down for a minute?”

“......what.”

“We don’t know of friends like you.”

I smiled as I looked at the eyes filled with curiosity and wariness.

“Oh yeah? Then how about this one?”

I caught a lady passing by and handed me two silver coins.

“Bring one drink to each person. Not beer, but mead. Anything left over will be served as meat.”

When I turned my head, the mercenaries whose vigilance was half gone were their eyes twinkling.

Because money is the best
