Chapter 666 – Episode 666: Final Skirmish-22
The morning of Hellao was bright.
Arrow letters of a level more explicit than yesterday were poured into the castle, and the public sentiment was alienated.
In particular, the phrase that Hedelion had a history of massacring women of different races was quite a shock to the front-line commanders.
Of course, during war, slander and abusive language are bound to roam between enemies and allies.
However, the Red Union was strangely focused only on Hedelion’s xenophobia.
An unsettling air began to flow from within Helao.
Meeting room.
Hedelion and the four leaders of the city federation, Endymion and Belani sat face to face.
In fact, Belani would not be in a position due to his position, but Hedelion requested it.
Hedelion said while rubbing his chin.
“This is embarrassing.”
“It is just a rumor. You don’t have to worry about it.”
“It’s the enemy’s petty operation.”
Other leaders in unison supported Hedelion.
Endymion shook his head.
“No, public sentiment is growing wild. The soldiers are getting more and more confused. It has to be explained somehow.”
“Should we react to each and every one of these groundless rumors? It only makes you laugh!”
“If you don’t react, I think you’re admitting it. Why don’t you count it?”
Endymion was cramped and annoyed.
Endymion, who had lived in sorrow and now rose to the position, knew the hearts of the people below him.
On the other hand, these castle lords had a completely different view of their superiors from the time they were born.
“Heh heh heh. Are you asking me to release each one when the lower ones are foolishly agitated?”
“Even if it were to be explained, how would it be explained? Are you saying that Hedelion-nim should make an official declaration that he does not hate non-human races?”
As the lords of the castle savaged, Endymion responded.
“People want that! As much as you loved Hedelion, you will feel betrayed and suspicious! We have to release it! I have to say something official!! Not even a single word!!”
“I can’t do it. I can not. How dare you lose face and do such a filthy thing?”
“Is face important right now!”
“No, this person is real. They’ve been attacking us ever since. What is it? Not even the lord of the castle, but a mongrel who is nothing more than a field commander!!”
“…”
Mongrel, always an insult, but now more so.
With a human castle owner father and a beast maid mother, he was human.
Even though he looks like a human, half of his blood is a beast, and the fact that he grows up is undeniable.
But is it time to question it now?
When Endymion gritted his teeth, Hedelion shook his head.
“Stop it. Both of you are right.”
“…”
The lords of the castle, who were angry, shut their mouths. Endymion also lost his anger.
Hedelion nodded his head.
“It’s all right, but I think it would be better for me to come forward and explain.”
“… Are you really okay?”
“Cheonho’s army will arrive soon. No, it’s already close. So, before that, we need to capture the public sentiment in the castle.”
Hedelion looked at Endymion and said.
“Your brother needs some help.”
“I? What?”
“I need to clean up the ridiculous rumors about me hating non-humans. First of all, in front of citizens and soldiers, my older brother and I hug each other in a friendly way.”
“What is that…”
“First of all, even if my older brother is normal on the outside, everyone knows that he is of beast-man lineage, right? Also, the last defeat is not a big deal, so I need a use to dilute it. In times like these, brothers should come together.”
At the words mixed with jokes, Endymion nodded his head.
If you do what it says, it will definitely work.
But Endymion’s feelings were strange. From the outside, he can be seen as a human being, but why does he keep mentioning that he is of beast-man descent?
Endymion was slightly displeased, but Bellani sighed.
“… I wish you well.”
“…”
A sudden remark, Hedelion looked at Bellani blankly and said.
“Your brother needs one more help.”
“I have to do something.”
“I must announce my marriage to Bellani.”
Endymion’s face hardened at once.
The other lords of the castle also looked very disappointed, but he didn’t say anything.
Hadelion said calmly.
“Actually, older brother is completely human on the outside, so he’s not very persuasive. And there are rumors that I do mean things to women of other races, but I have to prove that I’m not. If we announce her marriage to Bellani, the citizens will no longer be suspicious.”
“… Soup comes the body where her daughter is.”
Bellany shook her head in perplexity.
But Hedelion did not back down.
“It just looks like that. In fact, even in the worst case, it will be insurance for Belani-sama. No matter how arrogant the leader of the Red Union is, I will not be able to let go of Bellani, who became my wife. Above all, it will be an obstacle to future work.”
“…”
Endymion was idly listening to the conversation.
Hedelion laughed and said.
“Older brother?”
“… Ugh, um.”
“Are you having any problems?”
Endymion looked at Bellani’s profile involuntarily.
She just lowered her eyes in her pensive thoughts.
A neat flower soaked in sadness.
“… No.”
But he couldn’t keep it.
Hedelion concluded hers.
“All right. The three of us will go out in front of the citizens in the afternoon.”
The meeting is over.
Endymion got up and walked in a daze down the hallway.
“…”
Hedelion was right.
Hellao, the center of the city federation is his half-brother, Hedelion.
When people doubt Hedelion, things get out of hand. Hundreds of thousands of citizens will be exposed to the brutal blades of the Red Union.
Hedelion’s plan, a peace treaty is made over time. It’s best if you succeed.
And for that, the temper must be united. The people should not be suspicious of Hedelion.
“… I am.”
But he was determined to protect Belany.
Hedelion decides things, but he doesn’t ask Belany first.
He asked Endymion if he could take the item and use it for himself.
“…”
Could Hedelion really be an xenophobe?
He said it was a ridiculous speculation, and I thought that all the misunderstandings had been cleared up after talking yesterday, but a sudden suspicion arose.
“No, no…”
Endymion shook his head.
I’m acting emotionally because I’m not in a good mood right now. Even if his guess is correct, how is it possible?
Realistically, it made sense for him and Hedelion to show off their friendship in front of people, and to let Headelion marry Belani.
“The other woman…”
No, why Bellaney?
There are any number of heterogeneous women in the castle. Of course, Bellani’s beauty is more outstanding among dogs, but why?
As she said, she even has a daughter, so why marry Bellany?
Didn’t Endymion initially propose to marry Belany, but then refused? Why now…
“No way…”
Because Endymion had it.
He covets what his half-brother has.
Endymion tried to deny the thoughts that came to him, but it was not easy.
He easily became the lord of the castle just because he was the younger brother born later than himself, the son of the royal family.
So far, I haven’t resented that fact much. Because he lived without resentment.
It’s because he proved his ability by doing nasty and tough things and built it up.
“…”
However, all of that achievement was lost due to a night raid in which 60,000 troops flew away.
With nothing left, the only thing he swore to protect was a poor woman, but…
But she even takes it away from her brother.
Cunningly, as if he had waited for this to happen.
“Great.”
“… Endymion?”
As Endymion suppressed his angry groans, a calm yet bewitching voice was heard.
When Endymion turned around, there was a dark elf with light brown skin, a beautiful silver haired woman.
It was Bellany.
“… Are you all right?”
“…”
Endymion stared at Bellani as she caught her disheveled breath.
Silver hair that gleamed beautifully in contrast to light brown skin, and moist purple eyes that were bewitchingly wet were looking at him anxiously.
A woman who gave birth to a child? No, just by looking at her appearance, she was like a woman who had just become a virgin.
However, the atmosphere that drifts is mature yet bewitching.
This woman already knows the man.
And she will now be embraced by Hedelion.
A polite and sincere Hedelion might not touch it just because it was a nominal marriage?
No, to take such a beautiful woman as her wife and not lay a finger on her?
Hedelion is also a man, I can’t believe it. No, no matter what… She doesn’t want to lose as much as this woman!
“Lord Endymion?”
“…”
Endymion hesitated as he tried to raise his hand.
Bellany was looking at him with her pensive face. In this Hellao, there was nothing else on her side.
‘What am I thinking…’
Endymion restrained himself and let go of his body.
“No. I thought about it for a while.”
“In front of many people… If you reveal your marriage to Lord Hedelion, there will be no turning back.”
“… I guess so.”
Even if it is a fake marriage for clarification, it must be maintained.
And Hedelion will definitely embrace Belany. Just imagining it made Endymion so furious that he was at a loss.
Silence.
Bellany hesitated, then she spoke slowly.
“Still…”
“…”
“Still, my heart…”
Bellany raised her head as she spoke earnestly.
Endymion stopped breathing at the gaze that met them, the dew on the light purple eyes.
It felt like lightning running through my body.
This woman is of the same mind.
Aren’t the eyes telling everything!!
“…”
Bellany lowered her head, then turned her around and ran.
The sound of her footsteps receding from her, Endymion clenched her fists and made her tremble.
An unbearable passion welled up.
I can’t give up on that woman.
Cell.
Through the window in the basement, she watched the flow of people.
‘As expected, people are starting to gather. I can hear sounds too.’
Hearing amplification enabled people to be able to read the slightest hints even from a distance.
It was a story that there would be an announcement from Hedelion, so there would be more than 100,000 soldiers gathered in the plaza.
‘And Bellany sowed her seed…’
You don’t have to bewitch Hadelion. You just have to create a conflict with the people around you and explode it.
Anmidion was just right.
After being defeated by Jiha, the right to speak has disappeared, and what will a man with a dark future do?
When a beautiful woman asks for protection from such a man, he mistakes it for his noble mission.
‘Beauty world…’
You don’t necessarily have to use your body. It is enough to get drunk and distracted by mood and passion.
Underground confirmed the mana flowing through his body.
It was in full condition.
And Cheonho and Ashira’s army must have arrived outside by now.
Before that offensive strikes, Hedelion will want to tidy up her castle.
“Let’s go.”
The basement rose from its seat.
The path to the corridor was blocked by an iron door, but it didn’t matter.
Wood Deuk!
Jiha, who broke the doorknob with her magic and came out, smiled.
Originally there were guards, but now there are none.
The crowd gathered in the plaza like a cloud, so they were hired because they needed someone to control them.
Iris-ya, you might still be wary, but you probably judged that you wouldn’t need to be wary of your companion, the guy who hasn’t even revealed his name or said a word to you yet.
“Easier.”
The basement walked slowly.
Listen to what the enemy is saying.
I have to smash it.
