Chapter 172 – 38. Puppets. (5)
As Louis headed to his mother’s room, he couldn’t easily believe the reality.
Hey, are you saying that mother is the culprit behind all this? !
He was not the kind of person who would honestly say he was benevolent, even in empty words, but he was someone who knew how to judge right from wrong. …… But could anyone have imagined that the doll possessed by evil spirits, which looked like a fantasy, belonged to her!
But something hit her on the head when she heard that the other day, a woman who had been her father’s concubine and her younger half-brother had been beaten to death for daring to rebel.
In fact, the two mothers had been quite uncomfortable with each other before. To be honest, Louis didn’t have too much affection for his little mother and half brother, but he didn’t even think about killing them. But I would have thought he would have died after he had been away for a few months.
– No doubt. The demon-infused doll should be in your mother’s room. …… So never be on your guard. When you’ve got the job done, signal right away.
The ritual was decided to be held before the night when the evil spirits became stronger. As quickly as possible.
…… It’s dangerous to drag on for a long time…… !
The people of the count’s family are already suffering from madness. The little mother and her half-brother became slaves for treason, but if it were revealed that they touched the countess here, the count’s blade would be directed at Louis.
So, the best plan for now is to hurry up and secure the doll before the situation escalates and get out of the county castle.
…… Frankly, it was a risky plan. But the reality is that there is no other way than this.
– Trust me. It’s a plan that puts my life on the line. Could I do this without any certainty?
Whether through rumors or through personal experiences, Allen Danju was by no means a great person to talk nonsense. As he said, a plan that could be dangerous if done wrong.
… Have no choice but to believe for everyone… !
It wasn’t even about killing my mother. Just subdue, quickly secure the doll, and get out of the city. Allen-Mercenary Corps and Lewis-Mercenary Corps were already armed and waiting for the plot to end.
As he made his way to his mother’s bedroom, Louis ate his heart again and again. He thought only of what he had to do. No selfishness should enter there. … Even if it’s a mother’s plea.
Soon Lewis arrived at his mother’s room, accompanied by two of his henchmen. Of course, an escort knight guarded the door in front of him.
“What are you doing, young master?”
“I came to see my mother for a while.”
The knight knocked on the door without any doubt.
“Madam, Master Louis has arrived.”
– Louise? … Come in
Louis, who was allowed to enter, glanced at the two mercenaries before entering and twisted the doorknob open.
Her room has completely changed in a matter of months. Obviously the Countess was far from her excessive extravagance, but her room was full of jewels and gold. …… Like a treasure trove.
Sitting in front of the dressing table with heavy make-up, combing her hair, she noticed her son’s sudden visit, a little puzzled.
“Louis. You said you were sick?”
“…… I’m fine after taking a little break. I must have suffered from travel poisoning because I traveled too far.”
“………… So?”
She smiles meaningfully as she gently sets her hairbrush down.
“I’m glad.”
Then she slowly walked over to the bed and sat quietly by the bed.
… Certainly the countess was not like her usual mother. Somehow, she feels like she has changed.
“My son. Have a seat here Can you talk to this mother?”
“Ah yes.”
He went and sat down next to her. …… And a moment of silence.
Just then, a small commotion was heard outside. The eyes of a man and a woman heading towards the door at the same time.
The Countess, taking advantage of her son’s momentary distraction, slipped her hand under her pillow and drew her dagger, which she swung at his chest.
…… But when he sensed her violent movement, he reflexively twisted her body. Thankfully, he reacted quickly, and the dagger stabbed him shallowly in his right lower abdomen, not his chest.
ㅡㅡㅡ!!!
Louis pushed the countess with both hands and rose from her seat. A stinging pain that can be felt at the same time. She gasped and a moan escaped from his mouth.
“You bastard! You betrayed the mother who raised you?!”
With madness shining in her eyes, the countess cursed and lunged at her son again. But she couldn’t bear to hurt her mother, so he grabbed her hands and tried to subdue her, but she didn’t care whether her arms were broken or not, but thrust her head in and bit his forearms with her teeth.
“Ah! It’s mother! Oops!”
Her lips were dripping with blood in an instant. Eventually, she chewed off a piece of flesh.
At the same time, the door burst open, and the two mercenaries who subdued the escort knight entered.
“Quickly subdue!”
The two of them quickly overpowered her, tying her up and then gagging her. Don’t make a loud noise.
“Sweet Lord, are you okay?”
“…… Are you okay. You can get treatment later. Focus on your work first!”
Louise Danjou tried to control her emotions as much as possible, her eyes wide open. He hurriedly signaled to Allen Danzoo, who was waiting at the end of the hallway. Then, the two mercenaries and Allen enter the bedroom.
He glanced indifferently once at the Countess, who was writhing wildly on the bed, and then winked at the blind saint.
Taking off her blindfold, she immediately found her doll attached to the concave space above the bed, like a roof. The wicked doll was fastened so that it could be seen directly in front of you when you lay upright on the bed. … Just looking at it, it doesn’t look suspicious. If he hadn’t been bewitched, who would put a doll like that?
ㅡㅡ!!
It was definitely a doll that looked like a child’s toy, but her face was covered in blood.
“That’s it! Me too, I’ve seen that before… !”
Lewis testified so directly. It was the same doll that appeared like a mirage and then disappeared leaving behind only giggles.
A doll possessed by a demon.
Allen put it in a tin he had prepared and sealed it. Then, the Countess struggles even more severely.
“Um, uhhhhh!!!”
She struggled with her eyes wide open, her expression as if she were watching her own child being kidnapped.
“It’s all done. Let’s go ASAP.”
Louis, holding her chin with her hand over his bloody belly, approached her mother, who was bound, and whispered sadly:
“…… Mother, let’s get everything back to normal. Until then, please…… !”
“Louis Danju! Hurry!”
At Allen Danzoo’s urging, Louis Danzoo hurriedly left the Countess’s room.
Of course, there was a commotion like this in the wife’s room, but there was no way the count’s castle wouldn’t know about it. Access to the hallway was thoroughly blocked until the robbery was performed, but the moment they ran away, the situation would be discovered by the lower ones.
Right when Allen Danju and Louis Danju were about to get out of the inner world by meeting again with the mercenaries who were ready to leave.
– Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding
Loud bells resounding in my inner self.
“Let’s go!”
Allen Danju raised his voice and shouted. At the same time, the mercenaries rushed toward the inner gate.
Of course, the castle gates were firmly closed, but Louis Danju displayed his wits.
“Quickly open the door! It is an emergency!”
The gatekeepers hesitated, not knowing what to do with this, but when Louis Danzoo urged them once more, they finally opened the door. And after they all got out, the count’s escort followed soon after. …… There was also Count Zola, red-eyed and stained with madness.
“Innoooum, Louiseueueueueueueueueueueueueu!!!”
The mercenaries got on the wagon prepared in advance outside the fortress and started running with all their might.
“Move! Get out of the way everyone!!”
The old dog, Callisman, who sat next to the coachman, roared loudly at the people who came and went on the boulevard.
…… However, because the bell has already rang throughout the city, the outer gate is already firmly closed.
Kalisman hurriedly reported to Allen that the castle gate was closed through the coachman’s window connected to the inside of the carriage.
Then, the faces of the crew members became embarrassed. If you get caught like this, it’s obvious that you won’t be able to avoid the extreme punishment. …… Or you have to fight to the death and break through the door.
However-.
Allen already had this in mind. No matter how hurried they are, it is normal for the outer gates to be closed. Especially if it’s a countess caught in madness.
How could the Count, who had already killed his wife and young son, stand still and watch a traitor who fled after committing treason!
“Elena-!”
Elena, who had been warned by Allen beforehand, was already chanting a magic spell the moment she got on her carriage.
The big furry Geese quickly opened the small lid on the wagon. Then she grabbed each of her legs with the muscular Pergamond and lifted her up.
The parrot master, whose upper body was on the roof of the carriage, twirled the staff full of mana once in the air and then stretched it out toward the gate.
“Please please please please.”
Kancho, with circular baldness, closed her eyes tightly and squeezed her hands together, praying again and again. The new Cory feels the same way.
Mana bullets of tremendous power were created from the magic wand and flew towards the castle gate.
……… And, an explosion!
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The powerful elemental magic blew away the large gate at once, creating a tremendous roar and vibration the moment it hit the gate. There were not a few people who got caught up in it, but they couldn’t afford to care about others right now. The priority is to somehow get out of the city in a hurry.
“Get out of the way!!!!!”
With the mighty roar of Kalisman,
The two wagons carrying the mercenaries got out of the city safely.
The furry Geese, who saw the sunset-drenched castle wall getting farther and farther away, sighed and collapsed into his seat.
“Cybeol, I did it….”
“I’m here. Came out We did it!”
As if the alopecia areata Kancho came back to life, he shouted with his butt moving with a thrilled expression. All the members of the crew sighed in relief and each one spat out a curse word.
“Elena, good job…. You guys also suffered a lot.”
Of course, it was all planned by Allen, but it’s true that I was scared. Because of worries about what would happen if the castle gate could not be broken down. …… However, the magic of the person who opened the door was different, but definitely different.
Once the hurdle is over.
… But there is one bigger challenge left.
Whoa.
Allen let out a long sigh and leaned his back against the wall of her carriage. A rattling vibration ran through her flesh and shook her stomach.
…… What’s the money…….
Even thinking so, his fate of not being able to shake off the temptation of money is truly ironic.
