Chapter 250 – Marquis of Kilias
Doo doo doo!
As I was running down the road, I heard a voice.
“Are you okay?”
“What?
I looked back at the question and looked back.
The young aristocrat following me opened his mouth for a moment, then hesitated. Even while running at an abnormal speed, only the voice could be heard clearly.
Well, I know why you say this.
“The birth of a child is a joy, but I must do my duty.”
“… All right.”
I smiled bitterly at the young aristocrat who kept silent at my words. I thought it was a good idea to talk to me.
What to do if you get caught
After Grace’s sister gave birth, she stayed a few more days in Franz and was now on her way to the front.
Babies are cute
Her heart thumped as she held her sister Grace in her arms, clinging to her breasts and suckling her breasts.
The baby, who couldn’t open her eyes properly, reacted more sensitively to her magic than other people. My older sister, Grace, was struggling to soothe a crying baby who couldn’t sleep properly unless she was in my arms.
A limb that seemed to break at the slightest touch. A wrinkly creature.
Still, it was cute in my eyes. Thinking back that such a creature was my baby made me feel strange.
Especially when my little finger is fidgeting, it’s cute to hold my finger close.
Perhaps seeing my expression, the young aristocrat fearlessly opened his mouth again.
“Babies are cute. I know.”
“Is it? Do you have a baby too?”
The young aristocrat answered my question with a shy face.
“Yes. I also recently gave birth. Both the baby and the mother are healthy.”
“That is fortunate.”
So is Grace, but her pregnancy is really hard.
Difficult pregnancy is not unique to Franz.
It’s hard to become and hard to keep. And giving birth was difficult.
It seems that this young aristocrat also gave birth safely.
The young aristocrat smiled happily as she thought of her child back home.
“It’s so cute because he resembles her wife. The family’s future is bright because they inherited their magical powers properly.”
When a noble child is born, the most important thing is, of course, magical power. The young aristocrat’s words reminded me of a baby.
My baby inherited my magical powers. There’s no way I can’t feel my magical power. That was definitely my baby.
“Because meritorious deeds are piled up in their own way. I want to give my baby a proper land.”
“Haha.”
The young nobleman was Franz’s nobleman.
In terms of bloodline, he was a nobleman from a young family, and he was a nobleman who had served Franz for generations, but it is said that he was given the title of Viscount at this opportunity.
But that’s it
Land is limited.
There is a big difference between owning it properly as family land rather than lending it out temporarily.
“Then I must return safely even in this war.”
“Even if I look like this, I’m lucky.”
He’s the guy who puts the death flags on.
He turned his gaze away from the young nobleman and looked ahead.
There was not much left before the front line connecting the eastern side.
Among them, the largest city is used as a base and is heading to the place where the front line is being built with the eastern part.
The frontlines are holding pretty fiercely.
Count Harry, as well as the nobles who can move now, are confronting on the frontlines.
Small fights happen frequently.
In fact, it’s all about the battles of the nobility. It’s hard to finish in a short fight unless you’re pressing down with overwhelming power.
As the same nobles unite and the opponents unite, this side also unites and a large-scale war takes place.
In a protracted battle, a mace eventually occurs before either side is completely annihilated.
The same goes for current wires.
Although Count Harry is in charge, he is standing by at the base in case the Marquis of Kilias or the Count of the East appears.
As a result, relatively low-ranking nobles are engaged in guerrilla warfare in a grouped state.
“Almost there!”
I stopped thinking at the words of the young aristocrat and looked straight ahead.
I arrived at the biggest castle among the castles close to the east.
* * *
“How are things now?”
The main forces that can currently move. As soon as he arrived at the meeting room where the nobles were gathered, he immediately opened his mouth.
The army, commanded by Earl Harry, pointed to a map showing the army in the east and the entrenched frontline.
A map showing long stretched front lines and major strongholds is spread out.
At my words, Count Harry frowned.
“Not bad. It feels like they are holding each other in check.”
In an official setting, Count Harry now raised his words to me.
Count Harry pointed to the map.
“There are no nobles seriously injured here either. It’s a feeling of backing off before we can really stick to each other.”
“Hmm…”
Stroked his chin
The purpose of the Marquis of Kilias is unknown.
Of course, he hid it, but if Marquis Kilias pushed ahead at a time when even Aidan was not on the front line, it would be difficult for him to stop it alone, even if he was Count Harry.
“What is the purpose? It was strange that he had been so quiet in the first place.”
“That is the problem.”
Count Harry gave a signal with a wink as he spoke to me in my self-talk.
“I just discovered it.”
“Captive?”
Squeeze-!
At Count Harry’s signal, a nobleman was dragged into the conference room.
An aristocrat dragged along with his whole body weakened. In a daze, his pupils were undone, the guy being dragged along knelt down in front of me.
“Hmm.”
He approached the kneeling nobleman and raised his face.
The state of being insane with a haggard face. There is less power to feel.
“Is it like this?”
“Yes. It has been in this state since I captured it.”
At Count Harry’s words, I looked at the aristocrat once again.
I felt a sense of suspiciousness as I looked like I was out of my mind.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem normal.
“Look at the neck.”
“Neck?”
At that, the nobleman bowed his head and brushed his hair.
“This…”
He frowned.
A red seal was stamped on the nape of his neck.
Upon closer examination, it was found that it was taken with magical power.
“Is it the seal of the Marquis of Kilias?”
“Yes. It looks like he took it with his own blood.”
There seemed to be no intention of hiding anything.
I could definitely feel the weak magic power in the red seal. At first glance, it’s so weak that it’s easy to overlook it because of the magical power felt from the captive nobles, but it’s enough to notice immediately if you take a look.
And the mana he felt was not the mana of the aristocrats here, let alone those of the aristocrats who were held captive in front of him.
“What is the use? I don’t think it’s even activated now…”
“I do not know. There are nobles who do not have this seal, and there are cases where chivalry is stamped.”
The red seal felt ominous.
I haven’t heard anything good about these patterns since the old days. Whether it’s a novel or a cartoon, it doesn’t end well in any work.
Not to mention, the opponent is a Marquis with blood magic.
“Has your mind always been like this?”
“At first it was fine, but it became like this.”
“Any other imprint owners?”
“Yes.”
Just look
It doesn’t look like it will end well.
“I think it would be best to arrest them right away and confine them separately. It is also better outside the castle than inside the castle. Just shove it into a clearing where there is nothing around.”
“Hmm. Do you think it’s a suicide bomber?”
He nodded at Count Harry’s words.
“Even if you don’t self-destruct, you have to think about the possibility of triggering the actions that follow. Apparently, there is no intention to hide it…”
However, rumors are not good about red blood and iron blood marquis.
It’s better to think of what if.
It doesn’t really seem like a suicide bomber. Even if you don’t have to use this method, there have been many ways to use magical power holders like bombs in the history of this world.
Suicide bombers were not unheard of in history, and it was not a bad method for short-term warfare if you didn’t choose the means and methods. Although it would be foolish to use precious magical power holders as disposable bullets.
“Then I will move right away… Hmm?”
It was when I nodded at Count Harry’s words.
Come on!
“Hurry up, whoa, ha! I have an urgent report… !”
“What? What’s the fuss all of a sudden?”
A knight who was standing guard outside appeared breathing urgently. He gestured to the aristocrat who opened his mouth with a frown and looked at the knight.
“What is going on?”
“An envoy has arrived from the East… !”
I turned my head at the knight’s words.
I could feel the magic in the distance.
* * *
“How many times have you seen this? Did you do it twice?”
“Long time no see. Marquis of Kilias.”
Once in passing.
I’ve seen your face in the capital.
A well-groomed appearance unique to those who possess magical powers, and a face that does not age even though it has aged. There are some wrinkles, but considering his age, it can be said that he is young.
Wearing a suit with his white hair tied back, the Marquis of Killias is a middle-aged man whose appearance reminds him of an English gentleman, but the smell of blood from him made him frown.
“You are coming here as if you were waiting for me to come. Is there a problem? Are you sure you’re trying to decide the decision just the two of us?”
The Marquis of Kilias appeared alone.
I looked around, but there are no signs of anything. He is frankly surprised.
He is even considered a coward because, no matter how low the odds, he withdraws without regard for his face if he is about to lose.
At my words, the Marquis of Killias smiled.
“That would be fine too.”
I looked at the sneering Marquis of Killias.
Red magic light.
It was not a warm or brilliant feeling, but a sensation like muddy mud.
An ominous aura that is different from his gentlemanly appearance can be felt all over his body.
But that’s not what’s important.
“Did you say it was okay?”
The day is drawing to a close.
While the sun hanging on the horizon dyed the sky red, my body gradually came to mind.
“You are overflowing with self-confidence, kid. No, is it natural that you rose to the position of Marquis within a short period of one year?”
Marquis Kilias showed his teeth as he saw me fly up in front of him.
“On the subject of the count… No, congratulations on becoming a marquis. Okay. Since even a child has come to rule the south, his name has no choice but to be raised. So now that you’re a marquis, do you think it’s worth it?”
“Under. There is no meaning to such a gap from the count in the first place. In distant old records there is even a king killed by an earl. Just because I became a marquis doesn’t mean I’m worthy.”
Sunset time.
Now that the day is over. It is the law and providence of nature that the year when one has fulfilled one’s duty goes to the end.
“We do it because we have to.”
That providence is now crumbling.
Keying-!
By assimilating with the magic of the sea, the Bahnia clan turns the place they stand into the sea.
The Charinaire clan transforms itself into a shark by assimilating the magic of a shark.
On the other hand, the Earthlane clan created a magical creature that assists them by drawing the magic of the earth outward.
And he handles Franz’s golden magic in the form of a lion.
I also chose
Whoaaah-!
The setting sun rises again, and the reddish sky turns into a blue sky.
Now on this land I rule.
Jjaeng-!
Night doesn’t exist
