Chapter 49 – Arpagon Kesya
We sat at a round table in the corner and ordered our food.
Roin is watching Natalia’s eyes.
And Natalya feels like sitting still, drinking pre-dinner tea, and choosing what to say.
“Mr. Roin.”
“Ah, yes!”
Roin answered stiffly in a rigid state.
It’s different from the way she flirted with her last night by flirting and hugging her like that.
“Let’s do it as usual.”
“Yeah. No, yes.”
“You say you love Hansung.”
“Yeah…”
“⋯⋯.”
Cheer. Natalya’s sharp gaze, wondering if she could hear the onomatopoeia, passed over the old man.
Every time I see only Natalie, who is mild-mannered, this kind of look is quite different.
“Since Hansung’s will is the most important, I won’t stop him. But the first one is me.”
“Huh. I know⋯. I don’t mind the second one.”
“I will never forgive you if you hurt Hanseong.”
“Oh, that will never happen! I love Hanseong too!”
Roin exclaimed urgently.
I thought it wouldn’t look good if I left it like this, so I stopped the conversation by holding Natalia and Roin’s hands.
“Hansong?”
“Hanseong?”
Both are my girls now. So I have to take the lead.
“Neither of you can fight, because you are both girls now. Is it Natalie?”
“Yes?”
“Just because one person has increased, the love I give you doesn’t cut in half. My love for you is the same as before. And Roin?”
“Huh?”
“So are you. There may be an order, but my love for you is also the same. I will always give both of you the greatest love I can give.”
Natalya’s and Roin’s faces turned red. But it’s a pity that it ended like this. Sweet words break people’s hearts and make them soft.
Let’s quote a phrase from the French poet, Edmond Rostand.
“I will love you more than yesterday and less than tomorrow. Forever.”
Both of them turned completely red and buried their heads.
Looks like a possible 3p tonight.
*****
After dinner, there was still time until dinner. While drinking tea after dinner, I gazed at the old man.
As if Roin noticed my gaze, our eyes met and she said, dyeing her face red.
“Ha, Hanseong? Why?”
Cute. But that’s not what’s important. It is the clothes Roin is wearing. Too much body exposure.
“Are those clothes special?”
“Huh? This? Ah… It’s a specially made suit. It responds to my magic power and turns into water just like your body.”
“Aha…”
Come to think of it, even when I was captured by a troll before, my clothes were restored intact. I was still wearing clothes when I emerged from the bathtub yesterday.
“Can’t you wear something else over it?”
“No, it doesn’t matter, but it’s a waste of money to repair it if it tears.”
It wasn’t exhibitionism, was it money?
“Let’s go buy a robe to cover ourselves.”
“Huh? Aha⋯. Are you concerned?”
At my words, Roin lifted the corner of her mouth and grinned, then grabbed the collar that covered her breasts and pulled and released it to create a breeze.
“It’s hot~”
“Did you seduce Hanseong that way?”
The light went out of Natalia’s eyes. Seeing those scary eyes, Roin hiccuped and stopped.
“Hickuk, I won’t…”
“Natalie, can we fight?”
“Yes.”
I went outside with Natalya and Roin on either side. All the men passing by glance at each other.
Flowers in both hands, this is life.
“Um, there are a few people in the central square…?”
To go from the Misota Ryokan to the shopping street selling clothes, you have to pass through the central plaza. But today, it feels like there are a lot of toxic people in the central square.
Besides, people flock to the center of the plaza. In the center of the plaza, something strange was seen. It’s something you don’t normally see.
“What is that?”
As I was looking at it with a frown on my forehead, the old man next to me said.
“Execution stand, come to think of it, today is execution day.”
“Execution?”
Execution in the central square is, after all, an uncivilized world.
“Why are there so many people doing heinous things like executions?”
“Oh, come to think of it, I said I didn’t remember. Executions are a spectacle. Isn’t it pretty fun to watch vicious heinous criminals hang, suffer and die? I’ve seen it once, and it was pretty fun.”
“Hmm…”
It was quite a fun pastime to see the maggots begging for a lower interest rate after borrowing a lot of money that they couldn’t even pay back and going bankrupt.
I’d like to think it’s similar to that.
“Roin, you seem to miss me a lot, right?”
“Huh? Oh, isn’t it?”
“Looks like there’s still time left before the execution ceremony begins. I’ll buy a robe first and then take a look.”
Natalya, who had been silently listening to the story from the side, intervened.
“That would be nice. Let’s start with the robe first.”
Arriving through the crowds in the plaza, the shopping district gave the old man a neat and sturdy-looking robe.
“Are you really buying it?”
“Okay.”
“Happy! I will cherish it in the future! Side!”
Roin, who held the robe tightly in his arms, kissed me on the cheek.
Hehe, if this is the case, buying it is worthwhile.
“How is it? How is it? Matches well?”
The robed old man turned her body around and showed her in front and behind.
The black robe that completely covers the body has wide sleeves and you can put your hand through the gap in the front, so it’s a design that doesn’t have a problem taking out a dagger from your thigh.
In addition, the part that covers the neck is raised high up to the mouth, so it covers the face to some extent even without the hood.
Now, there won’t be anything wrong with raping old people.
Phew, it’s safe
The three of us headed for the main square wearing black robes.
“Oh, I thought I was going to start slowly. There he comes.”
I turned my gaze to the old man’s words and saw a procession approaching the central square from the street to the northeast.
The flag stretched high in the center of the procession has a hexagon inscribed in the shape of the city of Arpagon.
“Come to think of it, the huge castle to the north is the lord’s castle, right?”
“Yes, that’s the Count’s castle, Arpagon.”
At the word Arpagon, Natalia bit her teeth.
Come to think of it, he promised to take revenge on Count Arpagon. Which way would be better
How can I, an ordinary person, break the Marquis?
With that thought in mind, I looked at the approaching procession. In front of them, I saw a handsome blond-haired man riding an expressionless horse.
“The author is Arpagon Kesiya.”
“Yes, our enemy, rest assured. I will definitely crush you.”
I quietly whispered to Natalya’s introduction and looked at Kesiya.
The ornately decorated white armor is probably for decoration.
Dressed in flashy, dazzling armor, Kesiya gives herself to the sway of his horse, not even hiding a look of great boredom.
Behind Keshiya, four knights mounted on brown horses could be seen.
It was neatly trimmed, but the breastplate, with visible scratches, could tell that they were knights with a lot of practical experience.
Behind them, ten soldiers lined up, carrying long spears, and in the middle of them, five prisoners were seen being led with chains wrapped around their arms and legs.
As the procession approached, the crowd opened up like the parting of the Red Sea, opening the way to a platform in the center of the plaza.
When Kesiya stepped onto the platform, the soldiers began to put something like a thick log in front of her.
“What is that?”
“Execution stand, hang the heinous criminals there, stab them once with a spear, and let them die of excessive blood loss.”
“Wow…”
Vicious vicious vicious Writhing in pain and being ridiculed by people, making her die.
“By the way, do you see that heinous criminals are caught? Don’t most cases of criminals be resolved by retaliation by individuals?”
“Usually, most of the criminals who end up on the death row are those who have committed crimes against relatives of the City Guard.”
“Aha. Why are you killing me that way?”
“If the bones are damaged, it is not good to use the corpse to make a skeleton. The executed corpses are sold to the wizard guild and turned into skeletons.”
“Oh…”
Do you work even when you die? Well, it’s my fault that I did something to get caught.
No matter how bad things are, if you don’t get caught, it’s enough, but since you touched a relative of the City Guard, a symbol of public power, you have no choice but to be caught if you are in the city.
Idiots.
After the criminals were hung on the scaffold, the knight approached the man on the scaffold and shouted,
“Here are these people!! I have committed a great sin and am standing here today! Starting with the man on the left, I will reveal the crimes in turn!! Rape! Murder! Murder! Rape! Blasphemy of nobility!! Those sins are so great that they all deserve the death penalty!”
“Wow!”
The onlookers started cheering.
Ugh, you savage bastards.
