Chapter 167 – 167. The Earl
“Why…Why…!! I-I’m a sex slave…? No.. No, this must be… A lie…? That’s right… I’m Count Asbal’s child…”
“Lea!”
She hurriedly approached her and covered her body with the blanket on her bed.
Leah, who was crying as if she had lost everything, fell into a state of panic.
“Lea! Wake..! It will be difficult if it collapses here!”
“My… My younger siblings… My family… All angry.. Yes..? Until now, what am I… Oooh..!? Uweeeeek..!”
She eventually started to vomit under the bed.
She, who had given her life to be recognized by her own father, was instantly shattered by one of her words today.
“Gwa, it’s okay.. Oooh..!!”
“Lea, Lia!? Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
“Don’t overdo it, just go home today. I will finish”
“Ha ha… Ha ha… I don’t want to go to a house like that… I’d rather be in a gutter… Ugh…!!”
-Match!
She clapped wordlessly, then Linell’s eyes slowly locked and she fell asleep.
“I’m sorry… It’s so hard for her to look at me, stop…”
“Are you okay. You’re doing your part well enough.”
As I stroked her hair wrapped in a pure white cloth, I put my head on my chest and closed my eyes.
“Great job. Let me rest”
“I don’t want to go home…”
“I heard you have a family in your house. You said you have children to protect.”
“… I don’t know… It’s so hard now… I’m so tired…”
Losing her will to fight, she helplessly buried her face in my arms and trembled like a frightened puppy.
“… I beg you… Please don’t throw it away.. Please stay by my side..”
“Calm down, you haven’t become a sex slave yet.”
“It’s so shocking that my fate was decided from the beginning..”
She slowly raised her head and looked at me, wiping away her tears.
“I will help too. I will never allow my family to be treated like that.”
“I will kill your father”
“I know. And… Promise me one thing. That I… Will make you the representative of the Asbal family.”
“Before that, let me ask you one thing. What do you plan to do when you carry on the family line?”
“I see… I don’t know yet… If my father is killed, my family will fall, and the family that receives the title of count will become another noble. There are a lot of people, but I don’t think it would be bad for the whole family to live together.”
As we talked slowly, she regained her composure, and when I stroked her hair, she closed her eyes to ease the tension.
“I will make Ayla a count”
“I will help you. Instead… Please don’t throw it away… Please don’t turn away..”
“If you don’t betray me, neither will I”
“I’m fine no matter what.. I want you to protect the children of In Asbal.
“I have no intention of doing anything. The rest is up to you.”
“I… I will help… I have no intention of staying still unless I know the truth..!”
Seeing her resolve, she believed a little and gave her a few tasks.
“Then… Let me ask you a few favors.”

Hideout.
“Certainly, if that is true, we need to move forward with the plan. Illione, can I ask you for a job?”
“Yes, you do not have to decline.”
Among the women gathered at her stone table, Ilionne, who seemed particularly virtuous, maintained her composure despite the news that her homeland was about to be invaded.
“It’s not clear information yet, so you’ll need to check it out. But 20 years later, is there any reason to go to war?”
“I think the reason is because of the players. One controls the mind and the other controls the corpse. She must have thought that if she manipulated the internal affairs of the kingdom and attacked endlessly as a resurrected soldier, she would win someday.”
“The problem is with one other person. According to the information, there are three players in total in the kingdom. I can’t figure out the last one.”
“Clique Light”
“… Who is that?”
“Enoch Martin, Seaway, and Clique Wright. Perhaps these three are the players in the kingdom.”
The information of the book that Gourmet boy handed over. The order of the players on the player’s roster. I think this is probably the chronological order in the kingdom.
“You know more than you think”
“I opened a book the other day and there was a list of players with our names in it.”
“…Who is the author?”
“N… Produced by Dorothy”
“N is Dorothy… I don’t know N, but I know Dorothy.”
“What?”
“That will be discussed later. Now you’ll need a plan first. Himari, can you find a player named Clique Wright?”
“No problem~~soom~!”
I heard that Himari is a job that specializes in exploration and hunting.
And the name Jack Stingy, who was on the roster…
“Jack Insackt… Excluding us, there are a total of 4 players in the kingdom. I don’t know who Jack Stingy is.”
“Junior..”
“El?”
Elsa looked at me from the side with a slightly surprised expression.
Yes, apparently Elsa in the past had said this.
There was a player I was with.
“Is he still here..?”
“Is this the player you were with before?”
“That’s right. I thought he had already left…But I guess he didn’t…Get in trouble…”
“Difficulty? Red, tell me why”
“That guy…”
Elsa explained very simply with a slightly troubled face.
But one word from her caught us off guard.
“Because I’m a crazy bastard who enjoys indiscriminate killing.”

A mansion in the kingdom.
-Bang!!
“Where did the speedy one jump!! FUCK!!!!!”
“Aren’t you worrying too much now? Could it be unrequited love?”
“FUCK!!!!”
“Creaking… Master! What do you mean by puck?”
“Hmm? Our Dane-chan doesn’t have to worry about that~ Eat a snack, because you’ll have to work hard later.”
“Yes!”
The three, who spend an unchanging daily life, sit in luxurious chairs and enjoy a dinner prepared by the chef.
And the count who is looking at the three of them.
“Enoch Martin. Did you do a good job?”
“Huh? Hey, are you doubting me? About the NPC?”
“I mean, I’m getting older too. It is a law that requires attention.”
“If you’re anxious, I can manipulate you, will you?”
“Haha, I will decline that. If this plan succeeds, we will be able to obtain not only beastmen, but also elves.”
“Well~ 20 years ago, I moved too urgently. It was more like a slave hunt by attacking a non-state than a war, right?”
“That’s right. So this time I’m aiming for something bigger. After the elves, the country of the beast race, and after that, the continent of Luberia..!!”
Players fed up with his ambitious statements.
“It’s good that we’re not bored, but did I say that? We are not the only players.”
“If we increase our strength, the players will join us.”
“Hey~ It’s because there’s no such thing as a high level here by chance. What if a player like that hates you? It means that we are not omnipotent beings!”
“Haha, I know. So until now, I have been slowly educating the people here with new ideas. Thanks to the time of 20 years, young people have come to believe in the ideas I created. So that players can grow comfortably. Weakened the law and now, thanks to you, are invading small countries even now, albeit unofficially. That’s why there are so many slaves here.”
“Certainly, thanks to that, there are more lower class people than before. But that’s not what I’m talking about.”
Enoch Martin, dressed in a matching red suit, raised his elbows on his table and began to glare at the Count.
“If there is an existence greater than us, it will be difficult. Will they really like the system you created? I think it’s too urgent, but isn’t it necessary to attract players from each country to our side in order to start a war? And I think I said this more than 20 years ago, but I became arrogant while I couldn’t see it?”
“Master, are you going to kill that?”
Dane Argon, who was beside him for his calm life, showed hostility to the Count.
Haha~ You learned a lot of words while you couldn’t see our Dane saying that?”
Enoch Martin immediately stopped killing himself, took the Dane up in his arms, sat him on his lap, and spoke to the Count again.
“I warned you? If you were older, would you have understood what I meant?”
“Yes, I know very well that you guys are helping me because of this hidden quest… No, I don’t think any more is superfluous.”
“FUCK! FUCK!! What are you talking about and talking about!! And when will that child come again!!”
Haha~ I gave up ~ That guy is very shy, so I can’t help it, she should just do it by ourselves.”
“Then what if something goes wrong!!”
“Can we just run away?”
“Haha, I hope you will put up with the act of running away, right? If you get the continent of Luberia, you can enslave all the races here? The problem is the player who opposes us.”
-Bang!!!
“FuuuuuCK!!!! If I see him again, I will definitely turn him into a corpse!!!”
