My Villains Chapter 405 Chapter
63. The Knights of the
Silver Prince (12) Reach South Harbor Marva, Raven’s Cliff, Seteniora Monastery, Lee Anwell, Antrum, High Castle, Highland Until....
I had to talk for a while even though I was trying to explain my long journey at once.
The conversation lasted for nearly an hour, but Count Akele, who was sitting across from him, did not move. They are just sitting there like mannequins without even a hint of chuim.
Then, when I paused, he winked at me to continue. That arrogant gesture suits him so well .... Being a master is a nobleman who is ingrained in his body.
“I get it.”
As I was finishing my story, he gave a brief review.
“It’s not too different from what I’ve heard.”
“...Did you hear about it?”
“Yes.”
“Who did you hear from?”
“To many. Since Bal’ar, the ‘Pale King’, there are eyes and ears of Ireland everywhere on the continent.”
‘Pale King’ or ‘White King’ Balar is the founder of the Balouin family. Just like the ‘Blood King’ Zahak was the founder of the Zahakar family.
Zahhak is a legendary being, but he was definitely a real person. It is a historical event that is clearly recorded in the records that many warlords were killed during the chaotic period five hundred years ago, and they set foot in Ireland and settled there.
On the other hand, Balar is in fact regarded as a myth.
A time in the distant past when the empire ruled by Yongin began to exert its influence around the sea. From the very moment when the so-called ancient empire was just beginning to stretch, Ireland was under the control of Baluar-the story passed down in the Balouin family.
However, I don’t know if Balar is a real person because stories related to the origins of royal or prestigious families are bound to be mixed with lies.
I heard that the nicknames of the Pale King and the White King were only given to Baluin after he shared a bloodline with Zahakar. The name Balar means ‘head’ in Irish
, so some say it doesn’t refer to a specific person, but just a word for a king.
am.
“...that’s amazing. I didn’t know that spies were planted on the continent from the distant past. Until our ancestors appeared, I thought Baluin was just stuck on the island
. ”
“Tell me why you hid that you were Zaharkar and why you were appointed a knight by Ulkar.”
It was an unexpected question, but it was an expected question. I shrugged and replied.
“I think I already told you. It’s a family, a blood relative, and I didn’t want to see them all.”
“So you hid your identity as Zaharkar?”
“yes. In fact, if my father or family would allow me to, I would like to live on with a new surname.”
Depending on what you hear, it can be considered immoral, but the fresh bloodbaek still had an expressionless face.
He got used to Heila and was able to read his family’s unique poker face. I have no idea what that man is thinking right now.
“Why did you receive a knighthood from Ulkar?”
“Well, it happened like that, but...
Even thinking to myself, it seemed a little silly to say this, so I quickly added.
“I just wanted to.”
...hmm. Is this a bit ambiguous?
“I have lived my whole life among people who have no feelings, let alone calmness, and are busy taking care of their families. Seeing the person standing on the opposite side made me curious.”
silence. I don’t know if I’m accepting myself.
Count Akele, who had regained his composure, was a surprisingly good conversation partner. He didn’t bother me even though he didn’t say anything, and he didn’t know what he was saying, but he seemed to be listening to me.
He remained silent like an inanimate object, then slowly parted his lips.
“...i get it.”
“yes?”
“I said I would.”
“...is that the end?”
“It is over.”
“No...
It was a completely unexpected reaction, so I was dumbfounded.
“Is there a problem?”
“No, rather than a problem... is that the end?”
“What more do you need?”
...X arm. This man is quite adamant.
In fact, as the bloodbaek said, he thought he might sell his status as a conceived son to bring the iron scale fleet into the war, but it must have been a very unreasonable expectation.
“...if I let you plunder the coast of the Empire?”
“You are talking stupid things. If you put your mind to looting, you can do it as much as you want. The reason I don’t do that is to maintain trade with the empire.”
“What if I share my stake in the port?”
“...Which port are you talking about?” “Proshafen. Proshaven in Angst.” Count Akelle slightly narrowed his brows. Because he is a man who does not change his expression so much, even a small flinch can be felt as a fairly large expression of emotion.
“I’m thinking of occupying Anst.”
“yes. We plan to take the Deval Road and capture Obdorf and, if possible, Topal.”
“Is this Ulkar’s plan?”
“That’s a secret.”
“This is crazy. I knew he was crazy from before, but I didn’t expect him to be so reckless.”
“Do you look reckless even in Uncle Hu’s eyes?”
The bloodbath paused very briefly before continuing.
“Even if it temporarily succeeds, it will all be nothing if Ruilix II steps forward.”
Everyone has the same thoughts. In any case, if the Emperor of Mittergerant steps forward, it’s all over.
“That’s something we have to figure out. I’ll give you half of Proshafen if you take care of the Black Dragon Fleet of Avilambus. neatly.”
Proshafen is the largest port on the coast of the southeastern part of the empire. This could be tempting, but Count Akele firmly shook his head.
“Even if Proshafen is surrendered in its entirety, I will not fight the Imperial Army.” “You didn’t even ask me to land?” “A naval battle does not mean that it is not an engagement. It’s only been a month since I declared the disarmament of Blade’s Bay and its surroundings. Taking the lead in a battle is like spitting on oneself.”
“Since when have you been so fair? Did you know that Ireland is treated as a pirate den?”
“...I won’t blame you.”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“Now that I think about it, the reason you are so stupid is my fault for not paying attention to your education.”
“...You’re arguing right now, right?”
“Are there any complaints?”
Before I knew it, the room was filled with the magical energy of the fresh blood.
Well, you’d better focus on the conversation now, right?
When I quietly shut my mouth, the Count opened his mouth with a somewhat satisfied expression.
“Our notoriety stems not from finger-pointing abhorrence, but from numb fear. It is acceptable to surprise the enemy and cut their throats, but it is unacceptable to harm those who enter the cabin.”
“...then.”
I scratched my eyebrows for a while and looked at Count Akele. It was the same expressionless as before, but I could read the clear determination, so I shrugged my shoulders and made another suggestion.
“Then can you at least drive the Imperial fleet into Prosha Fen’s harbor?”
“Into the harbor?”
“yes. You say that armed ships are forbidden from roaming the Bay of Blades? If you don’t want to look around without engaging, you can just tell them to go inside the harbor.”
“I’ll take care of the stake in the port.”
A different color appeared in the black glass-like eyes of the fresh blood. He twisted his lips and muttered.
“Being wicked is just like a snake.”
“why? Do you think he resembles you?”
He immediately shook his head and lifted up a letter that was on the table.
“I have to calculate this first.”
The count’s mouth was torn a little more. “
It seems
Eordan made a very generous offer .”
“...Is that a generous offer?”
“Cargo inspection exemption rights, port use rights, and safety guarantees are golden crowns regardless of the type and size of the vessel. If this is not a generous offer, what is a generous offer?”
Maybe it’s because we talked about money, so I feel pure joy. It’s the first time this man shows his emotions so clearly, so I’m a little embarrassed.
“No, no. This exciting story should be shared with many people. There’s also a kid who might be interested in this deal.”
“... kid? As that Lord Eordan told you, this deal is confidential. You shouldn’t go around talking recklessly.”
“Follow me. It won’t hurt you or Ulkar.”
“Yes? No, wait-”
Count Akele left the room, and I also followed him in a daze.
