How to Subdue the Masochist Princess 29

Chapter 29 – The Shadow That Devoured the Earldom

“Damn, damn, damn!”

The man spat out curse words incessantly. It was because it was difficult for me to come to my senses from the overwhelming sense of intimidation I experienced for the first time in my life.

What kind of person’s eyes are bloody like mine?

These days, rumors that it is better to avoid savage tribes from the south didn’t seem to be going around for nothing.

The big savage in the skin of a lion was more frightening than a real lion.

The man was unfair.

It was funny to see a pretty woman playing with a savage, but surprisingly, the picture itself was also quite plausible, so she was just watching the car.

But, I didn’t make fun of him, I just saw him, but he glared at me with the intent to kill people.

‘Chief, today’s luck is really bad!’

—Shhhhh…

As soon as she hurriedly ran out of the bar, the man went into her back alley, pulled down his pants, and squirted a stream of urine on her wall.

Then she felt that only then would she live a little.

“Nimiral… I almost got tired of it.”

If she was really tired, she’d probably get kicked out of town for a few days. That a lame asshole pees in his pants.

The man who finished urinating openly on the wall of her stranger’s house suddenly burst into tears for her.

“Ugh…”

Could it be because she suddenly felt sad at her own miserable situation? Was she or was she just feeling like she was drunk?

Surrounded by subtle emotions that even she herself couldn’t understand, she started humming out a line of a song whose lyrics and pitch were messed up.

“My legs are sore~ No women~ No money~ Even a savage has a mate~”

Just like that, it was when he was stumbling around her back alleys, completely surrendered to her drunkenness.

“Oh, brother. You look so sad.”
“Fuck! Surprise!”

She was so startled that the man couldn’t help but scream.

Suddenly, a suspicious person wearing a dark robe up to his head jumped out in front of him.

Faced with the terrifying presence of a stranger who did not know if it was a ghost or a monster, the man was startled and grabbed the hem of his clothes and cried out.

“What, what are you? Me, I don’t have any money. I used up what I had little by drinking, and I have no family and no friends! Even if I rob it all, I won’t get a dime, so, just let it go…”
“Alas! What a pity! But the Lord welcomes a poor soul like you too.”

Poor soul? Main?

She couldn’t understand a word of what he was saying.

Heo Gu-heon’s tone was similar to that of the priests of the Celestial Church who muttered or muttered on me, but at least they weren’t so creepy just by their existence.

“I-I don’t know that! I’m going home, so don’t follow me!”
“Oh, brother. Don’t do that…”

The suspicious man tried to persuade her man again with a friendly look, but he saw her man clearly.

His grotesque face reflected through the cracks in the hem of the robe slightly swaying in the blowing wind.

— Fuck!

Obviously, he was smiling brightly at her man, but his face was so ferocious that it could hardly be seen as a human being.

How could a man’s mouth be torn even to his ears? What about the jagged teeth protruding from the cracks in the red gums?

“Uh, uh uh! Don’t come, you monster!”
“Ah! You’ve seen it! Then I believe you’ve realized! That the Lord doesn’t discriminate against people based on their appearance! Come on, join us!”

At this moment, all the thoughts in the man’s mind were that he wanted to run away.

The man who had turned white ran after her panting and tried to run with all her might, but she was there and she couldn’t move at all.

“Hey, why is this happening! Sa, save me!!”

It was because something shimmering and holding his ankle tightly.

“Whoops…”

The suspicious one grinned and slowly approached her man. The dark aura that grabbed her man’s ankles was ready to devour his entire lower body.

“Sah, save me! Save people!”
“Ah! Sure, the blessings of the Lord may seem daunting at first. But if you open your heart and accept them with all your might…”

That moment.

—Kooung!

The ground sank in an instant with a loud sound, and the body of the suspicious person stuck to the ground like a dried frog on a summer day.

Then, the dark energy that was on the verge of swallowing her man completely disappeared in an instant.

However, even though the suspicious person has reached that point, isn’t he muttering something casually?

“Hmm?! Oh, what kind of uninvited guest…”
“What are you?

To the man who was just a rural villager, it all felt like he was dreaming.

I don’t know what happened, but I’m pretty sure he survived.

The man immediately ran away from the spot without looking back.

The last thing he remembered was the back of a large savage in a lion’s skin.

After all, forebodings are not always wrong.

The uncomfortable feeling didn’t go away, so I made an excuse in the middle and sneaked out by myself.

As soon as I went outside, I felt a disgusting feeling from somewhere, so I went there and saw that a suspicious person was attacking the man I met eyes with.

Unfortunately, we failed to capture him alive, but we had some success.

As soon as the morning dawned, I went to the inn where the bishop of the Tenshin Church was staying and contacted him right away.

“Last evening. I ran into one of them by chance. This is the trail he left behind.”
“Um…”

The bishop-level priest of the Celestial Church, Roberto, accepted the empty orb I held out and swallowed his silence.

“As expected, demonic energy is hovering faintly. This can be seen as a kind of shamanic medium. Given a little time, I think we can trace back the source of demonic energy.”
“Is that so? It’s really fortunate.”
“Are there any additional special features?”
“It suddenly disappeared without any sign. Do devil worshipers use such spells in the first place?”

As I talked with Bishop Roberto, I reflected on what had happened the night before.

It wasn’t difficult to subdue him. He was using power similar to Pietro’s, but he was weak compared to that bastard.

Even so, I thought it was a little strange because he talked calmly as if he believed in something.

Sure enough, as I approached to capture him alive after stamping him down, he suddenly disappeared.

If what he used was space movement magic, he would have noticed the flow of mana in the middle and could have blocked it in advance.

However, I couldn’t. Apparently, the power he used was of a different kind.

It was as if the bishop had never heard of such a thing.

“Suddenly disappeared… That is obviously unusual. It is possible that he was endowed with power by some high-ranking demon. We will discuss this matter with the Heretic Questioner.”
“Okay. I hope the results come soon.”

After the conversation with Bishop Roberto, I instructed my subordinates to carry holy water with them at all times starting today.

It was because it was revealed that their reach was not in the center of the castle, but in this relatively remote village located in the border area.

If so, there is also the possibility that the influence of the traitorous group called Eclipse has already spread throughout Count Fersen.

Clearly the situation was not this serious, from what was stated in the orders or plan of action, but it had probably gotten worse.

“It’s not strange no matter when something happens. Do you understand?”
“Yes, I understand!”

In addition, there was also an order to use this village as a base and form groups of several people to monitor trends in other villages.

“There’s no need to hide yourself or engage in espionage. Rather, it wouldn’t be bad to openly prowl here and there as if you didn’t know what to do with the new culture in the center.”
“Ooh! Ooh!”

My men had transformed into proper Southern savages before I knew it.

At first, everyone was clumsy, but as we went through the journey, time and experience solved the problem.

The appearance of a savage is just smoke. These are the subordinates I personally selected, so they will surely bring significant results.

“Ha, is there a reliable savage who will escort the wealthy and weak daughter of a top lord?

As the subordinates scattered, only the vice-captain remained near me, muttering something in the most awkward theatrical tone.

It was a very blatant intention, I replied with a smile when I saw that. Because there was no reason to refuse.

With her in her proper undercover identity, her options for action will be much greater.

“Okay. The employer goes with me.”
“Umm…!”

Just like that, the moment when the weakly reddened vice-captain cleared his throat and tried to sneak his arms around me.

From a distance, a counterintelligence agent with a familiar face dressed as a merchant hurried toward me.

“Mercenary Captain. The transaction receipts of the merchants who went first have arrived.”
“You mean already?”

They said that the preliminary investigation would take quite a while, but what kind of signs did they find in just one day?

I carefully unfolded the note he had brought.

[Count Fersen is a devil worshiper]

“Damn it. Earthmother.”

I only read the beginning, but I couldn’t help but cry out to the barbarian god.
