CH 18

“Giulio. Miss Blanche has a slight headache, so don’t take it seriously.”

Tommy and Severo also grunted, clenching their tongues.

“God is fair. Somehow she was pretty, but since she was too pretty…”

“What? No matter how much I think about it, the three of us can’t fight against 14 people.”

As Tommy suggested, Felice nodded.

“Let’s escape.”

“That’s right. It’s better to run away. It’s hard to just fight, but then we also have to fight while protecting a woman and a child. There is no chance of winning.”

Severo and Giulio also exchanged convincing glances. That’s what Blanche didn’t like.

“No.”

Tommy let out a small swear word.

“D*mn! Do you not understand our situation right now?”

“I’m saying this because I understand the situation. It’s okay. I can deal with them all.”

Sparks flew from his brown eyes. Severo clenched his right fist.

“If you weren’t the boss’ woman, I would’ve decked you already!”

Blanche sighed and stood up.

Even Giulio’s eyes opened wide. Tommy was the first to stop her.

“Are you crazy? Why are you standing up?!”

But she defiantly ignored him and shouted at the broken window.

“A messenger is coming out! Wait!”

Has anyone seen Blanche’s face outside? Outside the window, they could only hear the beautiful woman.

Blanche, who was about to leave the kitchen, was caught by Felice, who was still crouching down.

“Do not go! If things go wrong, the boss will kill us!”

“Nothing will go wrong, so you won’t die. And while your job is to protect me, my job is to protect this house.”

Felice, who couldn’t bear it, heard a gurgling sound from his mouth. His calm, dark eyes seemed to have flipped over in an instant.

“You crazy woman! How can you say such carefree words?!”

“Put your hand away. Before I break it.”

“You…!”

That was then. Before the fight between the two could forcibly be ended by Blanche, the owner of an unfamiliar voice with a whistle appeared in the kitchen with the four men.

“Hwiyu~ Aren’t you an amazing beauty?”

Eventually, the rookies who had been shooting from outside came into the house.

As if it was quite cold outside, the man with orange blond hair and amber eyes, who had a red nose that looked like it had been bitten, glanced at Blanche from top to bottom.

“Hey. What did our pretty girl eat to make her so pretty~?”

As she observed the man with six piercings in his left ear, she raised her eyebrows in dissatisfaction.

“Are you the intruder’s boss?”

“Kki kki. That’s right. The name is Guillermo, who became the boss of the Campano family when I was only 19 years old!”

He shouted proudly and stabbed the air with the crossbow he was holding. Blanche frowned quietly at the man.

‘There are noises on the first floor, same with the floors in between. It seems like they’re scouring the house as they please.’

A dark light flashed in her green eyes.

But her annoyance was not solely due to the rudeness of the intruder.

“You guys. You all look dirty.”

Was it because there was no water supply? Except for Illia and Sylvano, the members of the gang were also grungy, but these intruders were on a different level of filth.

Protecting the house doesn’t mean keeping it clean, but Blanche, who grew up as a noble girl, didn’t like these dirty men.

“The house is getting dirty because of you. Let’s talk outside.”

Blanche grabbed Guillermo’s tie, who was a head taller than herself, and shuffled him across the hallway.

Perhaps because of his high morality, Guillermo was unable to use his crossbow against Blanche.

No, he went beyond the inability to use the crossbow and threw the crossbow he had in his hand, trying to somehow untie the tie held by Blanche with his bare hands. It was no use.

“Ouch! Hey, can’t you let go?! Do you want to die?!”

She didn’t even listen to his scolding. So, Guillermo’s men, who appeared with him in the kitchen, had no choice but to stare blankly at Blanche’s back with bewildered expressions.

Blanche, who had dragged him all the way to the front door, ignored Guillermo and checked behind her.

“Aren’t you all coming out?”

Then one of Guillermo’s men asked.

“Boss. Uh, what should we do?”

Guillermo, whose face turned red, coughed in vain.

Then he muttered a little to Blanche.

“Miss. Can you let me go now?”

“…….”

Guillermo’s face looked like he wanted to hide in a mouse hole at that moment.

“I’m going out on my own two feet, so let me go!”

“… Good.”

Only then did Guillermo regain his freedom. At that moment, his men, who had searched the 1st and 2nd floors, came out into the hallway where the commotion occurred.

Guillermo turned his shoulders for no reason, as if he was overjoyed, and belatedly asked his subordinates.

“Hmmm. Everyone, have you checked the inside of the house properly?”

“All empty.”

“Sheesh. D*mn that Illia b*st*rd. To run away leaving a child and a woman behind, how cowardly!”

Blanche spoke to him, who was genuinely angry.

“Weren’t you going to come out on your own two feet?”

Guillermo, with his face still dyed red, scratched the back of his head, which he did not know when he last washed.

“Yes. I don’t want the precious house that will be my hideout #2 destroyed while fighting the rest of them. I’ll go out and fight. Guys. Take the Giotto family and their children out respectfully.”

“Yes, boss.”

Hearing the voices of his trustworthy subordinates, he reached out to Blanche.

“Shall we go? Miss?”

She turned down his hand as she saw the four members of the Giotto family forced into the hallway.

“I don’t need an escort.”

“How arrogant. Well, I’ll forgive you since you’re pretty! Huhaha!”

Tommy, who had a gun behind his back, shouted at him who overcame embarrassment with laughter.

“C-Coward!”

“What?”

“Did our members break the roof of the city? Do you have any proof?!”

Severo also shouted with a roar.

“Yeah, without proof! You came here to pick a fight for a cause that doesn’t exist!”

That was then. Suddenly, Changkang! The window in the front door shattered with a sharp sound. An arrow suddenly pierced a nearby wall. But the surprises did not end there.

Blanche was held in Guillermo’s arms.

Guillermo swiftly protected her with his own body as shards of glass were about to hit her.

Blanche looked at Guillermo’s jawline, observing him, who was holding her in his arms. He was about the same height as her, and his face was grubby. Still, she liked Guillermo’s judgment.

Guillermo quickly checked to see if she was safe, and then immediately looked outside.

At least he wasn’t an idiot making fun of a woman’s face. Of course, the noise outside the door wasn’t small enough to be ignored.

There were no more than 14 people who gathered like a cloud in front of the mansion.

“Illia! Give me damage compensation, you bastard!”

“Your family made a hole on the roof of our family house!”

“Our family will start a war with the Giotto family from today!”

Guillermo clicked his tongue.

“Tch. Everyone wants a slice of the cake.”

Everyone living in Digitalis knew that the Giotto family, who had been one of them in the West, had been weakened by a blood battle over the past two years.

In other words, even if there was no news that they broke the peace treaty first, they were all determined to not to miss the opportunity to take a bite.

In an instant, Giulio sprinted and looked out of the house through the broken window.

The child let out a sigh.

“Sister… If you were going to do this, you should have at least named another family.”

Blanche meekly admitted her mistake.

“Okay. I will do that next time.”

At that, Tommy and Guillermo asked at the same time.

“Hold on a moment. Are you really saying Blanche broke the roofs? Is that even possible?”

“The mess was made by this pretty girl?”

But Blanche had only one answer to say.

“I’m leaving.”

Guillermo nodded reluctantly.

“Okay. But you’d better run away now. Not everyone is a gentleman like me.”

“That’s what I was going to say.”

Blanche smiled bitterly and walked out of the family house alone.

A young beauty with red hair and green eyes. Besides, she was wearing a black dress that clung to her body and a pure white bracelet on her right arm.

At least 500 criminals murmured at her overflowing beauty.

While the owners of harsh and mean impressions looked at them as if they were licking themselves, Blanche opened her lips that were lustful like fruit.

“The Giotto family feels responsible for what happened last night, so they sent me as the person in charge!”

Immediately there was ridicule and naughty noises. Most of them were insulting Illia and Sylvano’s cowardice or were trying to figure out what to do with Blanche.

But instead of being intimidated by these promiscuous words, she just looked straight at the crowd. Because there was no way to solve this situation at all.

In the lawless city of Digitalis, where all kinds of crime and betrayal took place, there was a way to have absolute immunity.

In the next moment, Blanche took a deep breath in and shouted loudly.

“I am Blanche of the Giotto family! Who will take the throne of Digitalis!”

* * *

As a city that was weak and strong, only the strongest in the city can occupy the throne of Digitalis.

Only the winner of a 1:1 duel can claim the throne.

Because of this, the King of Digitalis was always unable to reject the challenger.

Even if that challenger was a slender beautiful girl who seemed like she would collapse if the wind blew a little bit too hard.

Guillermo, who helped Blanche get on a horse, headed to the family house of 『His Majesty』.

She was surrounded as if escorted by the crowd that challenged the Giotto family.

It was natural.

This time, the great King of Digitalis was a man who had held the throne for three years, and was famous for having no mercy on losers.

Everyone was going to make it a spectacle to see the beauty of the gorgeous Blanche ruined.

Guillermo clicked his tongue and whispered in Blanche’s ear.

“Hey, pretty lady. Why don’t you try escaping now? No matter how strong you are, 『His Majesty』cannot be defeated.”

A cold voice came back, disregarding any concern.

“Don’t talk while you’re riding. You’ll bite your tongue.”

Guillermo wanted to know what the hell this woman was. After a moment of grumpiness that can be seen on his cheeks, he clicked his tongue and bit his lip.

The King of Digitalis was the boss of the Southern Miele family. If the Scusa family ruled the East of Digitalis, the South was the territory of the Miele family.

Unsurprisingly, the Miele family’s mansion built of unknown black stones was magnificent.

Moreover, the Miele family seemed to have already heard that a challenger was coming.

If not, then why would everyone in the Miele family, including King Amerigo of Digitalis, be in the front yard of the mansion?

Amerigo, who looked as wide as a meter, couldn’t help but burst into laughter at the sight of the young challenger.
