Chapter 871 – Ep.869 the Collapsed Empire
A sword scabbard spread with gold and studded with finely crafted jewels.
Inside the office, there are on display dozens of swords that, at first glance, appear to be luxury goods to show off to others rather than practical use.
“Hmm, hmm~♪”
A woman with dark brown hair tied back in a ponytail poured whiskey into a glass full of crystal-clear ice and hummed her tune.
“Big~!!”
After cooling the whiskey in her glass of ice a few times, she leaned back in her chair, smiling happily as she poured it down her throat in one go.
“Ha, this is life.”
There are no superiors to watch over, and there is no need to engage in headache-inducing politics to preserve more interests and positions.
Is that it?
In any case, in order to show that he was faithfully carrying out his duties, he no longer had to spend half a year outside the capital receiving entertainment from petty nobles and receiving tiresome flattery.
“Well, what happens in the end is entirely up to those monsters.”
Leader of the Storm Hawk Knights.
Velvet Carmen stood under the pure white moon and trembled as she remembered the King of Beasts looking down at her.
She simply recognized her presence as being right in front of her.
At the same time, she was overcome with pressure, as if her body was being crushed and crushed by something huge, and all of her internal organs were about to explode.
At the time, I was too scared to look at the situation or do anything because I was so scared, but now that I think about it, I realized that the monster didn’t seem to have done anything special.
She didn’t do anything like exert force to pressure herself or send out murderous intent, she just stood under the moonlight and looked down.
Could it be that she felt pressure from the gaze of such a monster beyond what she could handle, almost to the point of murder?
“… “He is truly the embodiment of violence.”
She put strength into her trembling hands, poured a new glass of whiskey into the glass she was holding, and drank it down.
“Whew, I don’t know what to do with this place… “For now, the best thing to do is to stay quietly and make friends with the demons as much as possible.”
Ambition?
Something like that can only be embraced if there is some level of promise.
If you harbor such vain feelings in the current situation, it is the perfect time to fly.
Above all, I am very satisfied with my current life, but I have no desire to increase my position by taking risks that I cannot afford.
Pleasure without responsibility.
That’s the life you’re enjoying now, so why jump into the fire of hell?
Velvet Carmen was about to pour her whiskey into her empty glass, once again praising her choice.
-Captain.
“Come in.”
“I’m sorry you’re taking a break.”
“Done. They must have come here for a good reason. So?”
Rattling.
She added her new glass of ice to her glass, shaking it gently and tilting her chin at her lieutenant.
“Daisy Ronbell is said to be arresting our vacationing knights with armed troops.”
“… ?”
Velvet, who was about to bring the cooled whiskey to her mouth, stopped and looked at her lieutenant.
“Daisy Ronbell is capturing our knights.”
“Fuck. “What kind of bullshit is that?”
“What should I do.”
“No… Ha, did this bitch get the wrong dick?”
“Well. “The only man Daisy Ronbell touches is Roan, the former vice-captain of the Order of the Blue Rose.”
Gulp, gulp.
“Whoa~”
Velvet Carmen wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and set her glass down on her desk.
“Leave it alone.”
“All right.”
Velvet Carmen is just bewildered by the news that her knights are being captured.
She didn’t particularly feel angry at Daisy Ronbell’s actions.
Her adjutant also calmly accepted the leader’s instructions.
“And call the kids together.”
“Armed.”
“Take care of everything and gather together every year.”
“All right.”
Her lieutenant quietly left the office, and Velvet, who was alone again, stood up and headed towards the wall decorated with swords.
**
Clink!
“Uh, Your Highness!!”
“It’s okay.”
Marvius roughly brushed his wine-soaked hair and stood up.
“Blood, blood…”
“Didn’t you say it was okay? Instead, go get a new cup.”
“Yeah…”
Oren, who had been made Marvius’ personal attendant by Smith, quickly left the place, biting his lip.
After Oren left, Marvius picked up a golden goblet from afar and wiped the wine that had stained the floor with the shabby clothes that not even servants would wear.
-What are you procrastinating about? Quickly bring a new glass!!
The man’s voice echoed in a space decorated entirely with pure white marble and diamonds.
“Your Majesty, I brought it here.”
“Thank you.”
“Tsk…”
After handing over the new gold cup, Marvius lightly tapped Oren on the shoulder and walked towards the man he once called brother.
“Your Highness the Prince. I have brought you a new cup.”
“Tsk, if you don’t have any useful skills, shouldn’t you at least move around diligently?”
“I’m sorry.”
Mar Vius bowed his head and held out a gold cup with both hands toward Marie Vicus, who was wearing all kinds of luxurious jewelry and rings on the knuckles of her fingers.
“Damn, what a slow bitch you are.”
Mar Vicus, who had taken the golden cup, cursed at the wound on Mar Vius’ forehead and waved his hand.
“Are you putting me in trouble because you can’t avoid that one thing? No, no. Four years. “You got hit on purpose?”
“No. I thought about something else for a moment and was unable to avoid it. “If anyone asks about the wound on my forehead, I will tell them that I tripped and fell alone.”
“Under!! Do you think I believe what you say? Stop talking nonsense and get out now!! Go and make sure to erase any traces of the wound before the lowly bitches start playing clowns!! Otherwise… “
Marvicus’ eyes looked beyond the bedroom screen.
“The four remaining limbs will be thrown into the den of demons.”
“… “I will go back and see.”
Marvius walked backwards and left the room of Marvicus, with his head bowed.
“Majesty! Here, po, potion…”
“Thank you.”
Marvius opened the cap of the potion given by Oren and immediately poured the contents onto his forehead.
Cheap profit──!!
Along with the unpleasant sound of something burning, white smoke erupted from the wound area touched by the potion, and countless air bubbles formed and the wound began to heal quickly.
“Whoa, let’s go. “Let’s go and get some rest.”
“Your Highness, please rest first. “I’m going to clean up after myself.”
“… Okay. “I won’t refuse you.”
Marvius, whose mind and body were both pushed to their limits, did not refuse Oren’s consideration and headed to the room given to him.
Sweet.
“Haaa…”
Marvius, who entered the only place where he could put his mind at ease, sat down with his back against the tightly closed door.
There is a soft bed a little further away, but Marvius has not used the bed even once since he came to live here.
Every time I thought of the knights and soldiers who endured all kinds of humiliation to try to save that one person, I couldn’t get up from bed because of the anger and guilt that rose up in me.
‘When, when will it come?’ …’
Marvius wrapped his arms around his knees and buried his face between them.
A promise that I would definitely wait.
What is it that makes them live so miserably, ignoring even their loyalists?
Even though I wanted to bite my tongue now, I had to endure until the very end for the sake of the loyalists who sacrificed themselves for me.
“Big sister… Velma…”
Take a moment to hold your breath and whisper the names of those you can no longer see.
-Majesty?
“… “Why are you doing that?”
-The time has come.
“…”
Ridicule and contempt dressed up in the name of sword fighting.
Looking at the clock on the wall, it was already almost time for the grueling sword fight to begin.
“Don’t leave now.”
There was no answer.
It’s just that the presence is getting further away little by little.
Marvius stood up, wiping his face.
Then he left the room and headed to the first prince’s bedroom.
“His Royal Highness.”
“Damn…”
Although the reasons were different, Marvicus also hated spending time watching sword fights.
The reason he couldn’t even make eye contact with me was because he not only groped and harassed my body, but also openly insulted me in front of everyone.
At the same time, it was also the reason why Marvicus wanted to abuse Marvius beyond torturing him.
Unlike himself, who could only maintain his position by fawning over and selling his body to the females he usually despised, Marvius was treated as precious because his existence alone was valuable.
“Damn it, why are you procrastinating? “Quickly take the lead!”
“Ugh… !!”
Although he must have kicked with all his might, the force was so weak that Marvius did not fall even though he kicked his butt, and only took a few steps forward.
Wow!!
Marvius bit his lip for a moment, then quickly corrected his posture.
“… “Then, let’s leave.”
Because we are used to violence directed at places that are not conspicuous like this.
