Chapter 812 – The Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated Into The Baek Family
Scarlett, standing before Kyle, was composed. Her expression didn’t change.
“Lord Kyle. I will be relinquishing my position as the Thousand-Man Commander of the 3rd Division.”
“…Suddenly?”
“I have been offered the position of General by Eugene Prucus.”
“General… you say? To you?”
Kyle looked back and forth between me and Scarlett with wavering eyes. In this world, there are usually two cases for someone to become a general. Either they are a veteran who has been through thick and thin, or they are a noble. Scarlett doesn’t fit either category.
“In my opinion, Scarlett is an excellent general. It’s a waste for her to rot as a Thousand-Man Commander. It might be a bit much to say this to you now, brother… but I’ll be taking Scarlett. She has already sworn her loyalty to me.”
Kyle frowned and glared at me. This was another unexpected reaction. Kyle turned his gaze to Scarlett.
“Scarlett. I find it hard to understand your choice. Have I done something wrong?”
“You have done nothing wrong to me, Lord Kyle. It’s just that our opinions and thoughts didn’t align. You opposed the operation I proposed this time, didn’t you?”
“…That operation had many casualties. And indeed, many casualties occurred.”
That’s right. And to be more specific, most of those who died were my soldiers. Half of the 5,000 men I brought died. As for the slave soldiers, 2,000 out of 3,000 died.
“But we won.”
“……”
“Sometimes, sacrifices are necessary for victory. You cannot accept those sacrifices, Lord Kyle. You and I are not compatible. I judged that I wouldn’t be able to perform well under you. I am grateful for you taking me in all this time.”
“Wait a minute. Don’t make a hasty decision, let’s talk. If you want better treatment, I’m willing to listen. I can even give you a position higher than Thousand-Man Commander.”
Kyle spoke urgently. This was also unexpected. I thought Kyle would coolly accept it. In the original story, Kyle didn’t stop anyone from leaving unless they were a main or supporting character.
‘There’s no way he had special feelings for Scarlett.’
Scarlett spoke firmly to Kyle.
“Lord Kyle. My mind will not change.”
“……”
“Lord Kyle. If I were to suggest that we abandon a thousand men, could you do it?”
“……”
“I see you can’t answer. That’s why I’m leaving you, Lord Kyle. And Eugene has promised me the position of General. Can you give me full command of the military?”
“……”
“Lord Kyle. I am a mercenary. I only worked under you because it was beneficial to me. With Eugene’s help, I can now achieve my dream. Thank you for everything.”
Scarlett left. Kyle couldn’t grab her back.
“…Eugene. Why did you take Scarlett?”
“Because she’s suitable as a general in my army. There’s no other reason.”
Of course, there were other reasons. Scarlett’s pussy is delicious. And I didn’t like the idea of a beauty like Scarlett working under Kyle.
“Brother. The work is done, so I’ll be going. I’ve sent a separate messenger to Father.”
“…Sorry. I’m too busy to see you off.”
“It’s okay. We can meet again later.”
“Eugene.”
“Huh?”
“…Answer me seriously. What is your relationship with Yuria?”
Kyle asked with serious eyes. I had a rough idea of what he meant by that question. He already knew the extent of my relationship with Yuria. This question was a confirmation. Once the confirmation was done, he would surely try to use it politically.
“It’s the relationship between a master and a maid.”
“……I see.”
Kyle closed his eyes tightly. I looked at him with a puzzled expression before heading outside.

Hubrak, the head of the Eastern branch of the Korea Merchant Guild, stroked his mustache with a swagger. Terius was sitting in front of him with his head bowed.
Hubrak admired a wooden carving of a knight on horseback.
“This artifact is quite good.”
“I won’t ask for much! 800 million! I’ll sell it for 800 million!”
“The price is quite specific. Did you perhaps visit other merchant guilds before coming here?”
“……Yes. I visited a few merchant guilds.”
Hubrak chuckled.
He already knew that Terius had visited more than just a few merchant guilds. He knew that Terius had visited all the major merchant guilds that could handle the artifact and had come to the Korea Merchant Guild last.
‘I can’t not know. I was the one who set up the whole thing.’
Hubrak pointed to the bottom of the artifact with his finger. It was a cracked part.
“There’s a crack here. Because of this, the artifact cannot use its original power.”
“…Yes. Other merchant guilds said the same thing. But the power still activates. Once every two days, it can summon 100 wooden knight figures riding wooden horses!”
“It’s not free. It requires mana, and a large amount of wood as material.”
“I, I have plenty of wood. And any mid-level mage is enough for the mana!”
“If what you say is true, then despite the crack, it would be worth at least 3 billion Ner. But you know, wasn’t this an artifact of Baron Mavelot? Shouldn’t it belong to Lord Kyle Prucus?”
“Th, that’s…”
“You stole Lord Kyle Prucus’s artifact.”
“N, no, that’s not it. I, I found this myself!”
“What a ridiculous thing to say. Terius. You are a soldier of Lord Kyle. Shouldn’t you offer it to Lord Kyle first…? If what you say is true, then it would be okay to send someone to Lord Kyle to confirm it, right?”
Terius was terrified.
That wouldn’t do.
If it were any other item, Kyle would have readily forgiven him, but this was an artifact worth billions.
“Y, yes! I took it secretly! Please… just this once…!”
“I see. We would have to take a risk to handle this. I’ll buy it for 500 million Ner. How about that?”
“500 million…! That’s too little! This is an artifact. 800 million, please buy it for 800 million!”
Terius knelt before him.
He had originally saved 100 million. And he received 100 million for cutting off Mavelot’s head. His total assets were 200 million Ner. He was 800 million short of 1 billion.
“You seem to be in a hurry for money.”
“I’m very urgent! It’s related to my family! I won’t forget your kindness, so please buy it for 800 million!”
“I’m sorry, but I have family matters too. If I lose money on this deal, it will cause me harm, and my family will be unhappy. But since you seem to be in a difficult situation… I’ll give you 600 million. How about that?”
“It’s… not enough. Please… for 800 million…”
Terius even bowed his head before Hubrak. Hubrak clicked his tongue as if he felt sorry for him. But his eyes were very cold.
“You seem to need 200 million more. If you want, I’ll give you a loan without collateral.”
“……A loan?”
“You made a contribution in the recent Mavelot battle and became a formal knight of Lord Kyle Prucus, didn’t you? With that kind of credit, I can lend you about 200 million. The interest is 50% per year. How about that?”
“5, 50% is too high…”
“We’re in the middle of a war right now. If you make another contribution in the war and obtain an artifact like this again… you can pay off 200 million in no time, right? If you don’t want to, that’s fine.”
“N, no. I’ll do it. I’ll take the loan…!”
“Hehe. Bring the contract.”
Hubrak brought the contract.
He, with ink smeared all over his only left hand, stamped his handprint on the contract.
‘Nephia, Nephia…! For you…!’
His mind was filled with Nephia. Of course, he was confident that he could repay the money. As Hubrak said, he just needed to make contributions in the upcoming battles. 200 million was nothing.
Terius had gathered 1 billion.
***
Terius, having gathered the money, requested a leave from Kyle, and since there was nothing urgent, he was easily granted permission.
Terius took the money and headed to the Thebra territory where Eugene Prucus’s mansion was located. It was only half a day’s carriage ride from Pters, where the Prucus main family was located, so it wasn’t a burden.
Ten soldiers were guarding the entrance of the mansion like an iron wall.
“I am Terius, a knight serving Lord Kyle Prucus. I wish to meet with Baron Prucus.”
“Is it official business?”
“It’s personal business.”
“I’ll ask. Please wait a moment.”
The soldier picked up a radio and contacted the inside of the mansion. Terius just thought it was a new magical tool.
After about 15 minutes, someone came from inside. It was a woman with dark blue hair wearing a maid’s uniform. Terius was nervous. She exuded an aura of dignity and nobility that was usually only felt from high-ranking nobles.
“I am Melissa, a maid. I will guide you to my master.”
Her tone was cold, businesslike, and even a bit annoyed. Terius carefully followed behind her.
After a few minutes, another door appeared. It was an iron door over 5 meters tall, and next to it was a fence wall reminiscent of a castle wall. Terius couldn’t tell if this was a mansion or a castle.
Squeak! Clunk!
The iron door opened automatically. Inside the iron door was a beautifully landscaped garden.
‘An elf… maid?’
An elf maid with long ears was tending to the garden. Terius was momentarily distracted, but he soon turned his gaze and silently followed Melissa to the annex.
Melissa opened a fancy door on the second floor of the annex.
“Ah! Ah! Hng, ah!”
The sight before Terius’s eyes made his head go blank.
The master of the mansion, Eugene, was sitting arrogantly on a large sofa, and on top of him, a woman with gray-silver hair, her maid uniform half-stripped, was shaking her body.
It was Nephia. Her body was facing directly towards Terius.
She had grown and become more beautiful, but she was definitely the Nephia in his memories. Above all, the iron ring necklace around her neck was solid proof!
“Haa, ah! Master’s cock…! It feels so good! Ahh!”
Each time she moved, her plump breasts bounced up and down. Eugene’s left hand was roughly fondling her breasts. Her pink nipples were hard and erect.
Eugene’s right hand tightly gripped Nephia’s waist. Her skirt was raised, revealing her insides. A large penis was mercilessly thrusting into her smooth pink pussy. In response, Nephia’s body shook up and down.
“Ah, ahhhhh! Nephia!!”
Terius screamed and tried to rush at Eugene. Melissa, who was beside him, kicked Terius in the calf. Terius fell to the floor. Gold coins spilled out of the backpack he was carrying.
“Hng, uh…. Terius…?”
“Nephia! I’m so late…. Eugene Prucus! Get off Nephia right now!!”
Melissa stepped on Terius’s shoulder. It was just that, but Terius couldn’t move. It was as if a mountain was pressing down on his body.
“Hehe. Calm down, Terius.”
“Calm down…?! You’re fucking Nephia and you dare say that! I’ll kill you, Eugene Prucus…!”
“Fucking? Is this the face of a woman being fucked?”
Terius belatedly looked closely at Nephia’s face. Her face, which was sweating and emitting sticky moans, showed no sign of suffering. Rather, she was smiling faintly as if she was enjoying it.
“…Nephia?”
“Ah…. Terius. It’s been a while. Haa. You’ve changed a lot… hng.”
Nephia trembled and straightened her body. Her penis and pussy separated. Her open pink pussy trembled and then a clear fluid gushed out. Some of the fluid splattered on Terius’s shocked face.
“Master wasn’t satisfied. I’ll… I’ll do it again. Aaaah!”
Nephia lowered her waist. A large penis entered her small pussy with a squelching sound.
“N, Nephia…. W, what is this….”
“Ah! I am Master’s slave. It’s natural for a slave to serve their master. Ah.”
Eugene’s right hand grabbed Nephia’s chin and turned it to the side. Eugene’s and Nephia’s lips overlapped. Eugene’s tongue entered Nephia’s small mouth. One of Nephia’s cheeks bulged out. The movement of her cheek indicated how fiercely the tongue was moving.
“Nephia…!!”
Unable to bear it any longer, Terius clenched his fist and hit the floor. What made him even more desperate was Nephia’s attitude of not resisting at all.
Eugene parted his lips.
“Terius. Nephia is my slave. Watch your words. This is the only time I’ll forgive you.”
“……!!”
Terius regained his composure. He bit his lip and looked at Eugene.
“…Thank you for your forgiveness, Baron Prucus. As you said before, I have brought 1 billion. Please give Nephia her freedom. Please… release Nephia.”
“I don’t go back on my words. But it’s only right to check the goods before a transaction. Melissa, check if it’s definitely 1 billion.”
“Yes, Master.”
Melissa began counting the gold coins in Terius’s backpack. Each gold coin was worth 500,000 Ner. In other words, there had to be 2,000 gold coins.
“55… 56… 57…”
Melissa slowly counted the gold coins and placed them on the table.
“Haa, ah! Aaaah!”
Nephia cried out. Even while the gold coins were being counted, Nephia was shaking her body on top of Eugene. And suddenly, Eugene grabbed her waist tightly and fixed her in place. Eugene trembled. Semen seeped out of her pussy. As Eugene slowly pulled out his penis, the semen flowed back down in gushes.
“Nephia. Get on your knees.”
“Yes, Master! Haaaaaah!”
Eugene and Nephia rolled around on the floor.
Terius bit his lip tightly. He thought that Nephia was only making that expression because she was being threatened and ordered by Eugene.
“71… 72… 73…”
