Chapter 872 – Ep.870 the Collapsed Empire
“Huh, huh… Shit!!”
“…”
Despite the nervous noise coming from behind, Marvius did not stop his steps.
Through months of experience, he personally confirmed that even if you take a break, the only thing that comes back is contempt and blind violence.
Above all, Mar Vicus’s pace was so slow that he had to not slow down in order to arrive on time.
It didn’t matter to her, but as Marvicus arrived late, Velvet Carmen, the former leader of the knights who had betrayed her oath of loyalty, became furious and became even more vicious towards the loyal knights who were sacrificing themselves for her. .
“Now, wait!! “I need to take a little rest!!”
“…”
Marvius, who was walking ahead, stopped his steps and turned around.
Then he opened his mouth, glaring coldly at the man who was once his brother, who was sitting about ten steps away, struggling for breath.
“Your Highness the Prince. Wake up right now. “If you don’t, you will hit your head on the floor, slap yourself, and burst your lip.”
“Hey, hey, you fucking bitch…” … !!”
Marvicus glared at Marvius, who was looking down at me.
“I-I-IK──!!”
But that lasts only a moment.
Marvicus eventually failed to overcome Mill and stood up, slamming his palm down on his floor.
“Please go.”
“… “I will definitely make you shed tears of blood from your eyes.”
Despite Marvicus’ curse, which was filled with malice, Marvius did not change the color of his face, but turned around again and accelerated his steps as quickly as he had stopped.
‘Older brother… ‘No, Marvicus.’
Marvius pledged and promised himself again and again, piling up the curses of Marbicus, who was constantly babbling, deep in his heart.
If the moment to end his life approaches…
I will definitely take with me that damned bastard who, despite inheriting royal blood, has thrown his prestige into the mud.

“I don’t know why that stupid bitch is suddenly saying something that’s bothering people.”
Velvet Carmen tightened the straps of her armor, which she had worn for the first time in a long time, and chewed on the dayje Ronbell that made her bother to take out her armor.
-Captain.
“Ha, I’m busy. Busy. “Come in.”
Just today, the deputy who had already stamped his attendance into the office four times entered the office.
“They say the savage from the desert is in critical condition.”
“How much?”
“It is said that the wound suffered by Daisy Ronbell is festering and she is suffering from a high fever. “I’ve only been able to satisfy my hunger with a loaf of black barley bread every day for three months, so my stamina is probably at an all-time low.”
“So you’re about to run out of breath right now?”
“That’s right.”
Velvet pondered for a moment while stroking her chin at her adjutant’s calm reply.
A barbarian female who didn’t even know that a barbarian in the desert dared to occupy the same position as leader like me.
‘I need to play with it a little more…’
Velvet, who had planned on letting Irina play as a clown for at least half a year more, was conflicted about whether she should seriously save Irina.
This is because the pleasure the barbarian female gave her was too sweet to just let her go like this.
‘Tsk, I don’t know what they’re doing because of one stupid bitch.’
“Just let him die. And tell them to bring the person who was still alive as soon as possible.”
Velvet Carmen unfortunately had no choice but to give up on Irina because she didn’t know what kind of stupid thing Daisy Ronbell would do today.
She hated to admit it, but there was a gap between her and Irina’s skills that she could barely make out if she and the fucking stupid bitch worked together.
If the atmosphere was normal, I would have told her to hand over the potion without hesitation, but as the idiot-like bitch who had no choice but to share the imperial palace with her as a partner did something foolish, Irina, who not only got hurt but also regained her strength, pretended to be crazy. Velvet chose to abandon Irina because she thought that if she went on a rampage, a serious situation could arise that would be difficult to express simply by saying that she was in trouble.
“All right.”
“What about the kids?”
“Power is on standby.”
“Good. Just in case, send a few guys who are good at hiding ahead of time.”
“Yes.”
Her adjutant left and Velvet Carmen, now alone again, fastened the straps of her armor.
“… “She should have told me to help her before she went.”
It was quite a hassle for her to do it alone.
But she could not call back her adjutant, who had already gone far away, so she had no choice but to somehow put on her armor by herself, tightening the seams of her armor so that they would not come apart.
“Hehe, if you’ve done something like that before, I’d like you to give me a nice pat on the back.”
She threw her helmet roughly on her desk and took out her new whiskey to quench her thirst.
“Puh~!! That idiot still thinks he’s stronger than me, right? “What a fucking bitch.”
Melbourne, the idol of all knights, is an exception.
Velvet Carmen is known to be the weakest among the remaining four leaders.
Although other leaders have shown off their skills several times by directly going to the field to monitor monsters or maintain public order, Velvet Carmen, whose main job was to inspect nobles, was never given the opportunity to do so.
That is to say, any noble who has ever met the emperor, even from afar, would never fall in love with the emperor unless he was poisoned or cursed and his head turned, so it was only natural.
However, there was a hidden story here that could not be known unless you were an insider.
First of all, purges were impossible without the emperor’s permission.
And because of its location, it is not possible to openly accept bribes.
Lastly, except for Irina, a barbarian from the desert, the factions and powers of the other two are equal.
For this reason, unlike what Velvet Carmen revealed in the public eye, in reality, her interest was no more than the size of her fist, with a little exaggeration.
From there, she chose to amass her wealth by hunting demonic beasts.
It was a choice that was possible because he was away from the system for half of the year and was able to comfortably serve as an informant for the nobles he needed to impress.
That’s because at least two silver plated adventurers are needed to hunt the demonic beasts, and for the city’s administrators and lords, they were a nuisance that needed to be eliminated as soon as possible before they grew into a bigger disaster.
And when Velvet Carmen went to hunt demonic beasts, she always brought with her three, or at most five, knights. The reason was that the more people there were, the more the share had to be shared.
In other words, Velvet’s skills were outstanding enough to subdue the demonic beast with only that many people.
“Okay. “I decided to throw away my beloved doll because of your stupid bitch, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to make her pay for it with her body.”
Velvet, who replaced Irina with Daisy Ronbell, quickly closed the cap on the whiskey with a smile on her face.
She wonders what difference it will make if she drinks one more bottle.
A true hunter does his best when breaking a goblin’s bones.
Velvet put the whiskey back in the cupboard and spent the little time she had left sitting on her sofa, gathering her mind and sharpening her spirits.
-Captain.
“Don’t go out.”
At her adjutant’s call, Velvet Carmen got up from her sofa, pulled out the sword from her waist, checked the blade once again, and only after confirming that there was no problem, she left her office.
Just like that.
As Velvet Carmen came out, the knights lined up to her left and right followed her in line.
How long did it take to walk like that?
“Hmm? What. “Isn’t that our prince?”
“Okay.”
The arrogant behavior of sitting at the head table in the arena and using the back of Marvius, who had kneeled beneath it, as a foot rest.
“Why did you come out so early? “He was wandering around like a slug every day.”
“We were a little later than usual because we were inspecting the members.”
“Oh yeah? “I thought he had finally decided to become my pet again.”
“I don’t think that will happen unless violence is committed.”
“I always regret that too… So, I’m a little looking forward to it right now. What about those idiots?”
“We set off similarly with our captured members, so we should arrive soon.”
“Hey, what kind of guts are you? Good. They’ll give you a chance, so you should use it well. “Arrange half of them around in advance.”
“Yes.”
Velvet left her members in charge of her adjutant and headed to where the royal family was.
“I’m a little late, right?”
“… No. “I just arrived, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
“Haha, as expected, you have the same heart.”
She looked down at Marvicus, who was smiling awkwardly at me, and chuckled.
“Well, your clothes are a little different than usual?”
“Ah, it’s no big deal, so you don’t have to worry.”
She grabbed the prince’s chin as he glanced at the sword at her waist and forced him to look up at me.
“Are you sure you don’t trust me?”
“Oh, no! How could I doubt you!! Well, I just got a little distracted by the sword. Yeah, yeah. “It is like that.”
The prince, who was always overbearing and looked down on me, cowered and looked at me.
‘Fuck, I want to eat it right now.’
But now that I was wearing armor, I couldn’t eat the rice cake even if it was placed in front of me.
If I hadn’t been wearing gloves, I would have enjoyed it a little with my hands.
Velvet, who eventually regained her appetite, decided to take advantage of this moment I couldn’t enjoy in a slightly different direction.
“His Royal Highness.”
“Why, why but?”
“If you would do me a favor later… “I will allow you to play with it as much as you like until the lowly things arrive.”
“… !!”
**
A traitor who will allow him to use as much violence against me as he wants.
“Well, is that really true?”
“Haha! Of course. Now, look.”
Fluffy!
The sound of liquid shaking was heard behind the slightly excited voice of Marvicus and the delighted voice of the traitor.
‘Is it a potion? …’
Marvius clenched his teeth.
Because that damned half-blood will definitely accept the traitor’s offer and will definitely use merciless violence against me.
“Joe, great! But my request must be within the scope of what I can do!!”
“Of course. Now, we won’t have much time, so move quickly.”
“Okay!!”
At the sound of Marvicus’ excited voice, the weight on my back disappeared.
At the same time, Marvius strengthened his whole body and crouched even more.
‘I will never, ever suffer from your petty violence!!’
The moment I made that promise.
Poop──!!
Marvius squeezed his eyes shut at the shock to his side.
“You damn bitch!! How dare you threaten me——evil?!”
Craddangtangtang!!
The sound of something rolling loudly on the floor was heard by Marvius’s ears as he closed his eyes tightly at the violence that would follow.
“What, what… Kek?!”
What followed was the traitor’s embarrassing goblin-snapping sound.
And.
“Marvius.”
“… ?”
Marvius’s tightly closed eyelids fluttered.
“They say the royal family never kneels.”
“… !!”
Marvius’s head, which had been facing the floor, finally looked up at the sly voice of the man he really, really wanted to hear.
“You’ve got half your face.”
“S, s, smi, s…” !!”
“I’m sorry I’m so late.”
“Ah, ah…”
Marvius shook his head and then bit his lip.
Then, to hide the hot tears in his eyes, he jumped into his arms and quickly nodded.
Why did you come so late?
“Sorry.”
A voice full of regret and kindness.
Warm body temperature.
A large hand stroking my head.
Marvius eventually burst into tears and trembled in his arms against his will.
Smith patted the back of Marvius, who was in his arms, and said.
“Just hold your breath and bring them all in.”
