Chapter 306 – Chapter 30 – What’s Coming
After ordering Cecily to disarm the magic circle set up by the fairies, and ordering Natasha to find the disgusting spy hiding among those who surrendered.
The place Klaus was heading to was a prisoner of war camp, especially a place where nobles from the kingdom who fled from the kingdom and came this far were being held.
The place I reached after running away frantically, saying that I would live, that I would preserve that proud life.
Did they sincerely believe in the fairies who called themselves the most noble and strong race and promised to regain the kingdom from the wicked demons?
Or did he try to make a living by making the most of them?
Whatever it was, now they couldn’t achieve anything.
Returning to the kingdom and taking power again, at least surviving.
Because the person who would hate them the most in the kingdom, no, in the world, was right in front of them.
“I’m sorry. In the end, I ran away and ran away, and the place I reached became a prison cell. How is it? Nobles.”
“…”
Archduke Joseph didn’t say anything, just kept his mouth shut.
Not only that, but some nobles also averted their gaze as if they didn’t want to even talk to each other.
At least among them, a few aristocrats, fiercely tempted to live, crawled on their knees and begged for their lives, begging them to save their lives, even if it was okay to take them all away.
A few months ago, they were people who would have lived very proudly as nobles.
It’s a scene where those guys are begging to be saved because they’re looking ugly now.
Klaus said while forcing himself to stop laughing.
“If you beg to be spared, you may indeed be spared. Nobles. Still, the names are nobles who were in charge of the kingdom, and if you cut off the heads of those people like pruning them, it might be a little difficult to win over the public.”
Then, following the nobles who had been praying for his life, the other nobles who had been silent all along opened their eyes and hurriedly crawled in front of Klaus.
Is that true? If it is true, please, I beg you to spare his life.
I’m giving up everything I left behind in the kingdom, so just ask for guarantees.
They are nobles who bark so painfully that it is almost safe to say that they are dogs.
Klaus watched the unseemly behavior of such people to his heart’s content, then turned his head.
Unlike the others, Archduke Joseph still kept his mouth shut.
“Grand Duke Joseph. Protecting your honor as a nobleman is, of course, good. But isn’t that honor also whether or not you see it shine after you live?”
“…”
“Please save me, I can save you with just one word. It wasn’t very pleasant between us, but since we’re also comrades who overcame the First Continental War together, I can take a look.”
“Don’t be silly, Klaus. Do you think I don’t know you? Until the moment we die, until the moment we hang ourselves, aren’t we doing this to joke around and laugh at each other?”
“I do not know. Could it be or not? Please don’t do that and beg for it. Archduke Joseph. It means to beg for help, in the most servile way possible.”
“…”
This is why quick-witted guys aren’t fun at all.
Klaus, who licked his lips inwardly, asked if that was the case.
“If the word, please save me comes out of the mouth of Archduke Joseph, I will consider it. But if he is silent, all the nobles imprisoned here will immediately have their limbs cut off one by one tomorrow morning, and only their torsos will be hung on the gallows and hanged by their necks.”
“Huh!”
“Oh, no! Yes, save me! Help me! Save me, Klaus!”
“So, aren’t you saying the conditions? From the mouth of Archduke Joseph, save me, that one word is all it takes. He is an old man who has been the captain of you until now, but to save you, bend your pride and sacrifice yourself.”
After saying that, Klaus told him to convince Archduke Joseph that he would give him just five minutes from now.
However, 5 minutes is a difficult time even to say a few words properly, let alone persuasion.
So, as soon as the word “Start” Came out of Klaus’s mouth, the nobles suddenly turned into menacing expressions and voices and approached Archduke Joseph.
“Archduke Joseph! Hurry, what are you doing without hurrying up! Ask for help!”
“Stupid things. It’s already dead, so what are you asking to be saved? Don’t be fooled! The traitor of that goddamn kingdom has no intention of letting us live! They’re just doing this to humiliate us to the point of death!”
“Four minutes left, gentlemen.”
“You fucking old man! That’s your idea So far, we’ve been moving as you thought, and we ended up like this, and you still want to say that you’re right?!”
“I want to live. I want to live! Tell me, tell me Shit, say it! Please save me, I beg you just once. And you just throw it away. I will live I will live!!”
“Sounds like nothing. Let’s just die together like this.”
In the midst of that, Klaus said, ‘Three minutes left. Hey, it’s three minutes until death, so it can’t be anything but a thrilling moment.’
Thanks to this, the aristocrats, whose eyes were turned even more, finally began to attack Archduke Joseph like crazy, moving their bodies even though their entire bodies were bound.
Words can’t do it, so violence is wielded right away, as a noble of the kingdom, he was practicing a really desirable look.
“Tell me to save you! Damn, say it! Please save us!!”
“Old man, are you thinking of killing us all?! You say you’ll save me, but why would you do that!”
To them, the question of whether Klaus really kept his promise or not was not important anymore.
The important thing now is that Archduke Joseph, the man who pushed the only way to survive into the middle of this hell, is refusing and not accepting it.
They completely forgot that they also spoke and acted according to his will.
I was making all sorts of fuss because I just wanted to pass on the responsibility and somehow live on my own.
“1 minute.”
“Aaaaa!!”
Eventually, nobles rushed in and began beating Archduke Joseph.
The kicks that seemed to kill at any moment, but Archduke Joseph did not open his mouth.
If he had both hands free, they would have stabbed his eyes or choked him to the point of trying to extract the words of mercy from Archduke Joseph’s mouth.
“You have 30 seconds left. So guys, don’t give up. Maybe Archduke Joseph’s heart has weakened. Be more persuasive. It’s the last way to live, but are you going to give up like this? Do you really want to hang yourself and be ridiculed by fairies and demons?”
It was literally a whisper from the devil.
At Klaus’s words, the nobles screamed and pushed Archduke Joseph even more ferociously.
However, in the end, the answer they wanted did not come, and the time was running out.
“5 seconds, 4 seconds, 3 seconds, 2 seconds, 1 second. Okay, that’s it. Too bad. Everyone. Even though I gave you 5 minutes, I couldn’t convince Archduke Joseph, so there’s only one way left now, right?”
“Oops! Kkeuheugh!!”
“Please, please save me. Klaus. If you’re going to kill me, kill that damn old woman! Let us live I’ll do everything you tell me to do, if only you let me live! So please…”
“I’m sorry, but the opportunity has already passed. So, if you want to blame it, you can curse at the old man lying face down after being beaten like a dog. Wouldn’t the fear of death disappear a little after that? Last night, comfortable. I hope you have a very comfortable time. See you tomorrow at the gallows.”
After that, Klaus stood up from his seat without any regrets.
There was nothing to worry about whether or not he heard a screaming voice from behind calling him.
More than that, I was very curious about how many curse words the nobles would pour out on Grand Duke Joseph during the night.
Not too long ago, he was said to be the head of the aristocratic faction, and he must have been a man respected by the aristocrats.
Now, while receiving all kinds of curses from them, being assaulted, receiving some resentment, and other things, I wonder if I will have a really enjoyable experience.
In fact, he could have created a scene in which Archduke Joseph begged for his life.
However, what Klaus wanted was for the proud nobles to curse, bite, and put down each other and eventually disappear crying.
I had no intention of giving them a chance to die in any fashion.
‘More than anything, that old man will think that this disgrace will be over when he dies tomorrow.’
Will it end? It’s a no-brainer, I have absolutely no intention of ending things so smoothly.
As the head of the nobles, he is a crazy old man who has done countless mistakes and stupid things.
How could Klaus offer a clean death? It was not worth half a penny.
Tomorrow will come, and you will think that you can die without further shame.
Klaus intended to crush that very idea cruelly, very cruelly.
Death is the most merciful treatment, so I will leave as much pain as possible until then.
That would be the price he should be responsible for as the head of the nobles who had tormented him so much.
‘I’m really looking forward to tomorrow.’
Klaus continued to laugh as he left the prisoner of war camp.
They are nobles who are already showing the end of the bottom, but how will they spend the night?
They would be divided into those who were about to kill Archduke Joseph halfway, and those who would just accept it after giving up everything, but they secretly hoped that they would fight on their own again.
With that proud snout, the kingdom fell into a complete ricochet.
Now, all that remains is to throw their lives into hell.
So desperate, so regretful, so desperate to die so miserable.
“Klaus. Reports have just arrived that the former boss and his troops have arrived near the borders of the Empire. At the same time, Ashley Palatinath said she would come with us.”
It seemed that everyone who realized that this side’s work was over was going to come this way.
It was right to do so, so Klaus returned to his barracks after answering that he would know to his demon soldier who reported to him.
And he began to write a letter to be sent to the telegram that Yulia had given him.
– It’s done. –
From her point of view, and from the point of view of others, how quickly.
It was almost absurd, but for the first time to Klaus, he couldn’t get rid of the feeling that it had taken too long.
– I won’t stop you from coming here. But don’t get too excited and run too fast. Just be mindful that you’re not alone… –
Klaus writes things very meticulously, even to the point of being quite detailed.
Due to Yulia’s personality, it was clear that if she heard the news that the fairies and beastmen were finished, she would run at great speed to clean up the place.
Perhaps because the mother and father resemble each other, the child in the belly is very strong, so there is no problem.
However, there is one thing in case, so I asked Shinsin several times to please be careful.
