Chapter 647 – Ep.645 Tullius Empire
“I will accompany you if you wish.”
Lord Melbourne stopped a short distance away from the knights surrounding the building, looked back at me standing next to him, and asked:
“Thank you. But it’s okay.”
“… But. “I can’t even imagine Kyeong being pushed around by another man, let alone a woman.”
It wouldn’t be much different if she was a woman, but I swallowed back my words and nodded at her.
“Ah.”
“Why are you doing that?”
As the Golden Knights who spotted us stepped aside, I had an idea and grabbed Lord Melbourne’s hand.
“… Kyung?”
“No, on second thought, I really wanted you to accompany me.”
“Uh, um… That’s not difficult…”
Her face turns slightly red.
I passed through the gap between the knights whose faces were not visible at all with their visors pressed down, held Lord Melbourne’s hand, and climbed the stairs leading to the building.
“Ah, leader… Insect.”
Roan, who was standing next to a sack just the right size for a person, came out, spotted her Lord Melbourne, and saluted her.
“Lord Melbourne.”
“Uh, um.”
Perhaps because she kept worrying about the hand she was holding, her eyes were busy squinting at her hand touching mine several times.
“If you go upstairs, there is a lounge. “Let’s just spend some time there.”
“… ?”
“It’s nothing else, but you looked so tired that I asked you to accompany me so I could get some rest.”
“Uh…”
Lord Melbourne, who didn’t understand what I meant and blinked at first, looked up at me in great surprise at my subsequent explanation.
“Lord Melbourne?”
“Uh… Ah, that’s right, you…”
The slightly shaking eyes became stable again, and I should say that he was a great minister.
Lord Melbourne replied, lowering his head to avoid my gaze.
“I think an hour will be enough, so I’ll go pick you up when it’s over.”
“No, I… This mission…”
“Hurry.”
“Uh, um…”
Even though I didn’t apply much force, she slowly climbed up the stairs, as if she was being pushed reluctantly by me. Of course, she didn’t forget to look back once in a while.
After Lord Melbourne disappeared like that.
“Roan.”
“Yes. “Captain.”
The guy came towards me with a more determined face than usual.
“No, not Ojin.”
“… ?”
I asked, pointing to the sack that was lying motionless.
“Did you open it?”
“I haven’t even set foot in the casino yet.”
“… “What are you talking about?”
“I want to live a long time.”
“You mean you didn’t open it?”
“Yes.”
Judging by the way he nodded his head calmly, it was clear that he didn’t know who was in that bag.
‘… There is something trustworthy yet unreliable.’
To put it bluntly, if someone were to give me a lot of gambling money, I would have to say that I felt like I would betray them.
“Roan.”
“Yes.”
“If someone introduces you to a good gambling place and offers you money, will you follow it?”
“There is a reason not to follow… Huh?!”
“Hey you bastard.”
The guy who hit me on the shin rolled around on the floor, clutching the area where he got hit, and worked hard to clean the floor.
“He’s the kind of guy who would betray me if I told him to gamble this.”
“What are you saying that gambling and betrayal have to do with each other?!”
I was about to give him some extra honey chestnuts when I saw him screaming with an expression of frustration, but I held back.
“It’s noisy. “Take the sack and follow me to the office.”
“… Yes.”
Still, as if what I had said in the morning were not empty words, the guy got up from his seat and walked to where the sack was to carry out the work I instructed, even though he looked a little dissatisfied.
“Hmm!!”
The problem is that I have the will, but the ability to perform… No, it’s a lack of power.
“Give it to me, dude.”
“Hmm…”
Rather than feeling sorry for the guy who was barely able to carry the sack on his shoulder after straining until his face turned bright red, I just took the sack away out of frustration with myself. Of course, with one hand.
“As expected, Captain. “You are amazing.”
“… “Stop rattling and follow me.”
“What is a rattle?”
“I don’t know, you bastard.”
I carried the sack on my shoulder and headed to the office with him.
“Roan.”
“Yes. “Captain.”
“You. If I go somewhere and talk about what I saw and heard here today… Are you putting me on the Bambino blacklist?”
“Captain.”
He looked up at me with a serious face and opened his mouth with a very determined gaze.
“If you die, you’re dead. “Even if someone tortures me, I will keep my mouth shut.”
“… Okay.”
Contrary to his determined eyes, I didn’t trust him that much, but I nodded.
“By the way, Captain. “What’s in the sack that makes it so heavy?”
“Person.”
“… ?”
At that moment, the guy who didn’t really understand what I was saying blinked, and in front of him, I laid down the sack I was carrying on my shoulder on the floor and pulled on the end.
“Omg?!”
As the bag came off and the person’s head slowly came out of the bag, he looked at me in shock.
“I tied it up.”
“Everything, Captain?”
“The Crown Princess has given permission, so don’t be scared.”
“Oh, is that so?”
The guy, who immediately came back with a calm expression on his face as if he had been scared, glanced curiously at Rosante Ulnar, who was lying face down with his hands and feet tied to the rope.
“But you don’t seem to be conscious.”
“Well.”
I walked up to Rosante Ulnar, who was lying down very comfortably, and kicked his ass with the heels of the shoes that Roan had polished this morning.
“Ugh… ?!”
“Oh…”
Roshan Te Ul Nar, who was lying as if dead, trembled and moaned, and Roan, who was watching from the side, covered his buttocks and grimaced, even though he had not been hit.
But that lasts only a moment.
“… ?”
Roan’s eyes gradually widened as he stared at Roshan Te Ulnar, who was trembling like a caterpillar with his hands and feet tied and unable to do anything.
“Count Rosante?”
“That──”
Bah!!
“… ?!”
Before I could answer, Roan jumped forward and kicked the same buttocks I had kicked, and Rosante Ulnar was unable to even scream and was trembling with white foam at the corners of his mouth.
“You piece of trash. “All gamblers will curse you.”
The guy who was glaring at Rosante Ulnar with the threat of spitting turned to me and said.
“Do you bring a wooden sword?”
“Do you want me to break your head?”
“… Greatness. “I will remain calm.”
“Okay. “If you make a sudden move one more time, I’ll kick your ass?”
“… “Can’t I just leave?”
“Uh. No.”
I pointed to Roshante Ulnar, who was sitting comfortably on the sofa, still groaning.
“You just stand there and when I tell you to, just kick it like before.”
“Can you please change into iron boots for a moment?”
“Head.”
“Hmm…”
I haven’t exchanged a word with Rosante Ulnar yet, but I don’t know why my head is pounding.
“Even after all this… You… “Do you think you’ll be safe, safe, safe?!”
I waited until I could properly talk, and as soon as the pain subsided a little, Rosante Ulnar glared at me and shouted.
“Why don’t you worry about your safety rather than ours?”
“Under… !! Assaulting men is strictly prohibited in the temple. Of course, it is banned not only in the empire but also in all countries on the continent. “The moment I leave here, you become a criminal.”
I flinch.
Roan, who was ready to kick the guy’s ass at any moment, took a step back.
“Uh. Okay. Okay, so can you just answer my question? “Then I’ll let you out quickly.”
“Ha, do you think you would answer a question from a criminal or something? “Besides, what do you believe when you betrayed the First Prince?”
“Roan.”
“… “Is it chop?”
“If you don’t like it, you can tell me──”
Bah!!
“@#^!!$#”
Still, it seemed he didn’t want to be hit, so he quickly kicked Rosante Ulnar’s butt, and Rosante Ulnar once again let out an inexplicable scream and rolled around on the floor.
“Was the first prince involved in this incident targeting the top of the Black Line?”
“… “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Are you the type of person who enjoys pain?”
“…”
In that short period of time, the guy, whose pretty good looks were ruined by tears and snot, stared at me for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“I have never aimed for the top of the black line…”
“No. “I heard it was already blown up in the underworld?”
“… I do not know. I don’t know. So please help me prove my innocence… “Call a priest.”
“Everything, Captain?”
As soon as the word priest came out of the guy’s mouth, a moment of anxiety appeared in Roan’s eyes.
‘Ugh, why are you so scared because I’m going to take you with me?’
In response to the guy asking me to call him a ‘priest,’ someone’s name came to mind.
“Please call a priest?”
“… Yes. I’ll tell you in advance, even if you don’t invite them, the clergy will definitely participate when the trial is held, so it’s better not to think nonsense. But if you follow what I say now… “As a fellow man, he can be generous.”
Looking down at the guy who was slowly smiling at me at the prom, I patted his chin and asked, pretending to be worried.
“… Can I call any priest?”
“Joy. “I am a follower of Hornyx, the god of love and kindness.”
“Love and charity.”
“Okay. Find Priest Gilena there. “He is a faithful priest who will run to you every step of the way if you say it is to prove my innocence.”
“Love and charity… Priest Gilena…”
“Okay. “Send someone quickly.”
“Hmm. Okay. “That’s how it should be.”
I got up from the sofa. And then he spoke to Roan, who had a bad look on his face.
“Kick it hard until I come.”
“… Yes?”
“Yes, you!!”
The two show conflicting reactions.
“If you come back and that bastard is fine──”
Sigh!!
“@%!#$@!”
“Don’t worry, just go.”
The priest is far, but my kicks are close.
I left the office, leaving behind the cool sound of a blow.
‘Sis.’
To call a priest as he requested.
