Chapter 68 – The Tribulation of the Sword
68
“Do you want to live like that?”
Sophia lost her words for a moment at Aria’s sudden sarcasm. It happened when Carl wasn’t there. That same day, Sofia was stabbed by a knife from the morning. Carl scooped up the semen from her body with a spoon and fed her, and the semen on her hair dried up because he couldn’t wipe it off.
“Why?”
Sophia asked. She was a soft horse. Arya’s eyes widened. She is evil and tries to torment her Sophia, but she is not evil by nature. Sophia tilted her head. “Is something wrong?” Arya’s breath seems to stop at that quiet question.
“You don’t even know what’s wrong?”
“Yes?”
Arya spoke plainly to Sofia without hesitation, as if she was not a slave at this moment. It had already been several months since Arya entered Carl’s house. It’s been a few days since she started to speak short words when she and Sofia were alone.
She was Arya who bullied Sophia hard at first because of the knife’s bullying diameter and her alienation, but after she stood up for Sophia when Arya made her mistake one day, she also pretended to bully Sophia. It was just passing.
In fact, to say that she made a mistake was not a big deal. While feeding Sofia, her cheek was slightly scarred because she gave too much force by mistake, but thanks to Sofia herself saying that it was really okay and not bothering our Aria, we could only get a few slaps on the cheek without any additional ‘corporal punishment’. It’s over.
“You think this is a normal relationship? Being a lover is more… It’s not like this.”
Arya’s words had an ambiguous aspect depending on the interpretation. Does she want to live like that, or is it right that she wants to live that way? If it was a question before her relationship was restored, when Aria still hated Sophia, the former would have been stronger, but at this point, the latter clearly felt stronger. Sophia smiled her incomprehensible smile.
“Carl loves me. There is no lie in that word. It’s just that the way I express it is a little, a little too clumsy. Look at this. You hugged me today.”
“Even when you say you don’t like it, you force it.”
“Do you come and hug me when you sleep?”
“I don’t know. Can I rape you if you love me? Can I bother you? I don’t think so.”
“Whoops. Arya is still young.”
Sophia Tries To Stroking Her Aria Her aria puts her head in front of her Sophia with her pouty face. Tok, tok. The way she stroked her elbow was quite natural, as if she had gotten used to the shorter limbs.
“You’re young, is that what Sofia would say?”
“You’ve never been through a war.”
“… “
“Rape is common. It’s something I’ve seen often. Demons who rape humans, humans who rape demons. Either way. And usually rape and kill. Throw it away.”
“But this… “
“Hey, that’s nice.”
A benevolent smile blooms on Sophia’s face.
“I heard the other day that a group of demons were advancing on the capital and were wiped out. She’s also a demon, so I think she might be insecure. Is that so?”
She was clearly Sophia trying to divert her words. Her Aria’s eyes showed the bruises on her Sofia’s body. The bruises were mainly on her chest and buttocks, but she started showing them a little on her face a while ago. It is the work of the man who whispers that he loves you. Sophia seemed to be just laughing like an idiot.
“Shall we run away? I will take responsibility for feeding Sophia.”
“Aria.”
Sophia scolds Arya in a stern voice.
“I am happy.”
“… “
“You have to be happy.”
“Sophia… “
“This is the greatest happiness I can enjoy.”
It seems to be a little wet.
“Yeah, Carl goes out often these days. It’s not even a woman, right?”

“Things went wrong. Marquis Leben.”
Carl frowned. It didn’t matter until he removed the imperial knight commander and replaced him with a member of the same faction. Since there was a kidnapper inside the knights who kidnapped the saint, the justification was clear, and as a result of consulting with several supporters of the sword, they even succeeded in inserting a person they could agree with.
But these fucking bastards were greedy.
“If you don’t, a civil war could break out.”
“Why did that bastard drag a demon bitch into bed?”
“Are you Nandle?”
“I don’t have anything to believe, so I believe in the demon tribe!”
Thud. The knife hit the table. The eyes of several nobles gathered in the meeting room were frowned upon. Carl laughed. They were people who did not usually look at Carl with such a favorable gaze. The attitude of looking at the knife blankly like ‘so what should I do’ and asking for an answer on what to do was absolutely fucking disgusting.
Even if they always smiled in their face and acted like tongues in their mouths, the moment they turned around, they would talk behind their backs, talking about ‘lowly bastard’ or ‘thief’. Babies who have the only thing they have, and the only thing they have achieved is that they were born into a good family. If you squeeze their bodies covered in scaffolding, the oil will flow out. Reven tried to hold back the urge to vomit. She laughed.
It was the same when she cut off the demon king’s head with the hero.
This is why it is difficult to go to support, and that is why it seems difficult to provide supplies. Dealing with the military is not as easy as it sounds. Horses, horses, horses.
“Since you also agreed to the appointment of that friend as the knight commander, you are responsible in every way. In the end, wasn’t the Marquis Leben the one who decided?”
“Oh, is it my fault?”
“I just want to talk about the future. If you look back on the past now, what can you do?”
That’s right. However, it was a law that the person who did the wrong should not do it. The captain of the knights who made the mistake this time was the half-cousin of the bitch I just mentioned. Damn bitches. Carl inhaled. Even for him, this job was pretty dangerous. No, there was no answer.
People from prestigious families can’t do this.
“First of all, kill the knight commander.”
“What?”
“This is not the time to be swayed by personal affection, Count.”
“Ugh, killing such a talented person in the current situation!”
“I killed the royal family! It could be entangled in treason!”
“Could you do that? Some are not like that.”
Fuck. Carl didn’t know how to deal with this stuffy feeling. Now, all Carl could do was prove that he had no ties to these spunky aristocrats in the first place.
The knight commander would have wanted to do well otherwise. Because of this, she must have believed the prostitute Demon Tribe’s words and went to the place where the surviving Demon Tribe was located and led the military at once with a plan to wipe out the Demon Tribe at once. And in order to prove his worth by showing that appearance, he would have accompanied the young royal family and pretended to go on patrol and led the soldiers there.
Of course, the demon tribe lied, and about 200 well-armed orc soldiers were hiding in the slum where there were about twenty old and young demon soldiers. The party, who had crawled to the place the Asmodian mentioned without thinking, lost half of their troops without being able to react to the sudden rain of arrows. Among them, the knights were also mixed.
The arrows fired by the orcs from their longbows pierced flesh and shattered bones, so even well-armed soldiers were helpless against successive arrows. Seven of the knights in plate armor had their heads pierced while taking off their helmets.
Dozens of soldiers at the front and rear, unable to respond to the surprise attack, died, and the knights gathered in the center to escort the imperial family. In the meantime, the knight commander put on a helmet to show off his prowess and ran forward to fight against the orcs. Of course, the orc soldiers couldn’t win against the knights in plate armor. The commander of the knights was fierce and cut dozens of soldiers one after another.
He is a Knight Commander who did not like the label that he was promoted to the position by the recommendation of others rather than by his own abilities. He must have wanted to prove his skills at this opportunity.
But the royal family died. It was a young royal family. She was now a little girl of thirteen. Although not the emperor’s own child, he was a close relative and a nephew to the emperor’s children, who were cousins. She was a girl who received a lot of love for her unique liveliness and cuteness.
While the Knight Commander cut the Orc soldiers out of pride, a hole formed in the Knights square, and the Orc soldiers shot flesh through the gap and killed the princess.
The Knight Commander was now locked up in a dungeon.
He took the imperial family on patrol, went off the existing patrol route and went to a unique place, and at the same time Orc soldiers were waiting at that place, he himself was not injured even after fighting dozens of Orcs. She even has a history of sleeping with a woman from the Demon tribe.
If Carl Leben himself had not heard the full story of the incident, he would have thought that he was a traitor to the imperial family, or that the prince or princess of the imperial family kept his cousin in check. However, the truth is that Ji was only promoted to the position of knight commander by recommendation and said, ‘I don’t like people’s eyes! I’ll prove myself!’
“Fucking bastards.”
Carl spat. The faces of the nobles gathered at the table turned red at once.
“What are you talking about?” “That’s what we’re talking about right now!” “Your words are not too harsh!”
Carl answered in a hollow voice.
“I saw and talked to the demons. Why are you all so sensitive?”
Carl Leben laughed heartily once and left. He hadn’t offered any alternatives. The place was dug up.
Since nobles were noble families that had been passed on for generations, it would be difficult to use their hands even in the imperial family, but the sword was different. Things get out of control when rumors spread that a hero who was a thief was behind the death of the royal family.
No matter how much money he earns, stabbing in back money, cutting off the demon lord’s head, and sitting in a position of nobility, being a ‘heavy criminal’ cannot be changed.
Carl was not afraid of the hero Lloyd. Similarly, he was not afraid of the Empire either. The Empire had no power to kill the sword, and Lloyd had no power to withstand the power of the sword.
However, now the Empire is in charge of Lloyd. If the two of them come to grab the sword at once, the power of the sword will vanish in front of the power of the empire, and the power of the individual sword will be blocked by the might of the warrior. It was a premise that he had always feared from the moment he started greedy for Sophia. Can he win by making both the imperial family and Lloyd his enemies at the same time?
Even if Maya joins Carl’s side, there is no chance of victory. The archwitch will stick to the hero. Her Sophia has her limbs cut off. It would be a good power if it was restored, but that’s it.
“It’s not over yet. The end has not yet begun.”
Carl toured the academy’s construction site and then returned home. Nothing has been decided yet. It wasn’t even revealed that Carl was involved in the case. It was all just gathering and chatting with nobles.
However,
The Wind Blows.

“Have you been, Carl?”
Sophia approaches her toddling cautiously. Carl forgot his words for a moment. It was a prosthetic leg he had bought the other day but hadn’t handed over. It seemed that Arya secretly took it out and put it on. Wasn’t it good between the two? Carl smiled and hugged Sophia.
“How does it feel?”
“I really don’t know.”
The prosthetic limbs and limbs were not elaborate. He mimicked his calves and toes, but in the end there were no parts that could move his toes or move them at will. So was the hand. It was for this reason that Carl told the demons to leave the joints. Due to Sophia’s unfamiliar gait, she leaned over to Carl and said,
“Still, it’s really nice to be able to meet Carl like this. Why did you buy it and not tell me?”
“Sorry. I’m busy.”
“It’s a bee. Don’t avoid it.”
Sophia’s lips hit Carl’s lips.
Carl finds this situation just awkward.
Anxiety,
An intense feeling of uneasiness crept into his heart.
