Chapter 29 – Rebellion (1)

Rebellion (1)

While the 1st army led by his older brother Prinz was engaged in a desperate struggle in Streve, Juno’s 2nd army advanced at incredible speed and destroyed the minor lords of the County of Rdelmo.

Juno, who occupied one barony and one viscounty from the day of the invasion to the third day, attacked the Barony of Kreis on the fourth day, creating a siege around Streve.

However, unlike before, Baron Krais’ resistance was quite strong, and he even conscripted farmers around his castle and showed thorough resistance.

However, he could not hold out for long against Juno’s 10,000-strong army, and when the castle walls fell and the gates were broken by battering rams, Baron Krais raised a white flag.

“Your Majesty! Baron Kreis has arrived”

“I understand. Let’s go out.”

About an hour after Yuno accepted the surrender, a messenger arrived with the news that the enemy lord had arrived in front of the camp.

As Yuno left the barracks and went forward while being inspected by the soldiers, he saw Baron Kreis kneeling in front of the castle gate, three women and a child who appeared to be his family.

“Baron Kreis? You’re surrendering. But… What happens if you reject the initial surrender offer and then surrender after the castle gates are breached?”

“Ugh… Don’t you know, Your Majesty? It is our duty as lords of Tesseito to resist for at least a week when our country is attacked by the enemy!”

Because what he said was true, Yuno nodded his head. However, as several of the legionnaires were killed while suppressing the castle, the soldiers were hoping for revenge, and some legionnaires were waiting for permission to loot after the siege.

Since Juno was not unaware of the feelings of the legionnaires, he pondered his disposition toward the enemy lord.

The two previously occupied fiefdoms surrendered immediately after seeing the difference in military strength, thus preserving their property and lives. However, in such cases, it was common to execute the lords and allow the soldiers to plunder and rape.

Hehe, Your Majesty~ The young bitch on the left looks quite edgy. What do you think? Instead, please hand over the two old bitches on the right to us, and we will eat them between us. Haha,”

Jake, the second son of the Earl of Hazelmere, whom Yuno holds as his deputy, has also openly revealed his lustful desires, offering a woman who appears to be the lord’s daughter to Yuno and offering to take over for himself the woman who appears to be the lord’s wife and the woman who appears to be his concubine. .

As Yuno pondered for a moment, the sight of Lady Chrys trembling in fear caught her eye. With that, Yuno made a decision and called Jake.

“Jake! I will go to the manor house first. Bring only the five most trustworthy of my guards. Baron Cryce! Take the lead with your servants.”

Haha, you are wise as expected. We should take care of important things before the soldiers touch them first. Otherwise, isn’t it obvious that lowly soldiers will pick their back pockets?”

Although he didn’t really intend to do so, Jake followed Yuno to Baron Kreis’ mansion while playing drums and janggu alone.

Upon arriving at the mansion, Baron Krais looked at Yuno with an expression of curiosity as to what on earth Yuno was thinking of bringing him here.

“Whew, Baron! Honestly, I don’t want to kill you. Your sense of duty to the country deserves to be respected… But rules are rules! I have to execute you and your subordinates, and allow the soldiers to plunder. “

“… I know… But… My family…”

“So! I have a suggestion. In two hours, show us that you commit suicide in front of our legionnaires. And of course, there will be hidden property… If you hand it over, you can appease the soldiers by distributing it to the soldiers and looting them. I will prohibit it and ensure the safety of your family.”

“… Really?”

“It would be easiest to just execute the baron and allow the plunder, but why would I do something like this? It’s not good to lose discipline in exchange for plunder… And… No. Anyway, what are you going to do?”

“Phew… I will accept His Highness’s offer. What is the method of suicide…?”

“Poisoning has no effect, so please proceed with committing suicide by stabbing yourself in the neck with a dagger.”

“Thank you. I ask for the safety of my family and friends.”

“Don’t worry. I will guarantee it with my honor.”

Thanks to Juno’s consideration, Baron Krais was able to take a moment to chat with his family. In the process, his wife fainted, and his children cried, but Juno thought it was the best choice, and Baron Kreis also comforted his family, saying that Juno’s offer was the most generous one.

An hour later. With all the legionnaires except the guards gathered, Baron Kreis climbed up on the platform and arrogantly shouted about his foolishness in opposing the Balkans and committed suicide by stabbing himself in the neck with a dagger. The gold and silver treasures he had hidden were distributed equally to the soldiers. And it made them somewhat satisfied.

However, in the process, there were people whose dissatisfaction had built up and exploded; those were the children of the nobles whom Yuno had demoted.

They gathered in the barracks, drank together and poured out their complaints about Yuno.

“No! Does this make sense? Showing mercy to the lord of an enemy country who tried to resist to the end!!”

“Actually, isn’t His Highness the Third Prince a spy for Tesseito? He wasn’t even hurt when Tesseito attacked the villa? Why? If you kill a spy, it’s Tesseito themselves who lose!”

“Huh, that seems plausible! Then we, Balkan patriots, can’t sit still.”

“Do you have any clue?”

Their comments slowly crossed the line, but as they were drunk and steeped in bad feelings toward Yuno, their comments became increasingly harsh.

“Shouldn’t we lead this 10th corps instead of His Highness the Prince? We should keep His Highness the Third Prince in prison, and later, when his guilt is revealed, we will inform His Highness the Crown Prince of this fact and execute him on display.”

“Of course that’s the way it should be… How can you subdue Your Majesty, the Master?”

Hehe, there is a way. This is a sleeping pill that I give to girls… Just one drop of this will make them fall asleep immediately, and they will not be able to move for a day. There are about five drops left, so if you mix them all in alcohol and give them to Your Highness, she will fall asleep immediately. “

“So… Then?”

“And the family of Baron Kreis, who tied up and hid His Highness and saved His Highness from the soldiers, betrayed His Highness and murdered His Highness Yuno, so we lead the troops, saying that we have punished them.”

Hehe, of course before that…”

“Yes. Before that, I’ll have to taste those bitches’ underbelly. Haha. Yuno. Instead of that guy, I think Jake can take over as the corps commander.”

The noble sons, who had begun to no longer treat Yuno as a prince, decided to nominate Jake, the son of the highest-ranking noble among them, as the commander of the corps.

Jake didn’t like Yuno’s way of doing things because he really wanted Baron Kreis’s concubine. Moreover, when he imagined himself becoming a corps commander and commanding his troops, his excitement did not subside, and he ended up sympathizing with them.

“Good… Yuno, I’ll let him drink alcohol laced with sleeping pills. But just in case, you have to keep Yuno alive. Don’t you know that His Highness the Crown Prince cares about Yuno? Until we create perfect evidence that His Highness the Crown Prince can understand. I mean…”

“But what if Yuno wakes up in the middle of the night? If the Master goes on a rampage, there’s no one who can stop him, right?”

A nobleman in charge of prisoner management suggested a solution to that problem.

“Just in case, there are mana-suppressing handcuffs for master-level prisoners in the prisoner-accommodation wagon. I will bring them. Then… I would like to ask you, Jake. Instead, Jake, you take the first choice among the three captured girls.”

“Okay! Then let’s get started right away.”

It was a really poor plan, but their eyes, drunk with alcohol and lust, had already rolled back. In particular, Jake already felt his genitals burning at the thought of tasting the lower part of Baron Kreis’s concubine. And when I got the mana suppression handcuffs, I drank the sleeping pills I was given and headed to Yuno’s barracks.

“Your Majesty the Prince, please excuse me for a moment.”

“Hmm? Jake? What’s going on? At this time of night?”

“Haha, how can I sleep while your majesty is awake like this? I brought you a glass of delicious brandy for your majesty. Have a drink and then sleep.”

Haha, thank you for your heart… But you know I don’t enjoy drinking, right? I’ll just accept your heart.”

“Your Majesty… You’ve been having trouble sleeping lately, have you? In that case, one way is to force yourself to sleep by drinking a strong drink. If the corps commander’s judgment is clouded due to lack of sleep, it means that the corps is in danger.”

Yuno thought what Jake said was plausible. Yuno’s mood wasn’t very good when he heard that his older brother, Prinz, was having a hard time in Streve, and because of that, he couldn’t sleep and sometimes felt drowsy during the day.

“Um… Okay. Then, I’ll appreciate it. Jake.”

As Jake took a sip of the drink she had given her, Yuno instantly felt drowsiness pouring out of her. Thinking that it was definitely effective, Yuno forced her body to lie down on her bed, and she fell asleep in an instant.
