Chapter 350 – 34. Marguerite in Servitude (Complete)
Underworld.
Even the dark and miserable back alleys have their own rules. Even though he participates in the plan to destroy the poor girl so that she falls into prostitution, he cannot stand by and watch the lost girl wander aimlessly, so he helps her.
Indeed, this contradictory cause is the only virtue in a world filled with evil deeds. That’s why the gatekeeper of the most prosperous brothel in the Tarn Dominion was showing great patience even with the bold boy in front of him.
“Kid, this is not a good neighborhood for people like you with no blood on their heads to wander around carelessly. When you say something nice, it will be good for your health to go out through the passage you see over there.”
“He’s an interesting guy in today’s world. “When it comes to money, there is plenty of it, but judging from what you say, the problem is not the flower arsenal, right?”
“There are no leftover cotyledons. It’s truly deplorable that this country is such that a young man has already developed a taste for women. I don’t know what the other guys will do when they’re standing here, but just know that it won’t be any problem when I’m on duty.”
The carefully trimmed blonde hair was the work of a skilled barber. Her eyes, sparkling red like ruby, were boasting that this was her innate elegance. Moreover, in the recent uproar, the custom-made suit, whose design was unknown to which wardrobe, led to the inference that the boy was the son of a very influential family.
In other words, it was a wise guest not to mess with it.
“If you are born into a good family, you should live a good life. Life like Hanryang, hitting on women, might be fun for now…”
“Enough with the nagging. “I have no interest in nagging or listening to a 20-year-old kid.”
The gatekeeper frowned, displeased with the rude response. Still, he seemed to not want to leave any room for trouble, so he controlled his emotions with a deep sigh. I slowly opened my fist, intending to squeeze it a little if she made a mistake.
“I don’t know which family you belong to, but it would be best to turn off for the count of three.”
Of course, the boy didn’t even blink. He seemed to be taking out a piece of jewelry attached to a chain on a belt. He held it out and said, It was round and gray-white in color, so it completely captivated the gatekeeper, who assumed it was a sculpture made of ivory.
“I came to meet Khalid Masood.”
Necromancy is the most wrong of black magic. The treatment of those who know people’s lives like flies is avoided even in the backstreets full of dirty and petty people. In the same context, the token the boy presented in lieu of his identity was none other than a skull, and thanks to this, the gatekeeper was able to realize that the kid who faced him was by no means an unusual person.
“I heard that if you go to the best brothel, you can meet a cripple.”
“… There was only one of two people who uttered that name here. “He was either going to die or be killed soon.”
“Then I guess I know which side I belong to. It’s interesting to see the consideration of a guy who has not yet been dirty even after being immersed in a dirty world, but it’s starting to get a bit tingly because I feel like I want to talk about work with a nice bitch on my side.”
The gatekeeper with a heavy expression slowly closed his eyes and nodded. When it reappeared, it looked the boy up and down again and pointed beyond the dark alley. I didn’t forget to wave my hand at the prostitutes who started snooping around, wondering what was going on at the slightest commotion.
“Inside. “Let the woman you see compatibility with negotiate on her own.”
“I’ll give you pocket money, so recommend it.”
Despite his sly attitude, he responded with the attitude that it would be polite for a customer to show polite respect. The straight-haired woman of her house seven times to her left was the best here, and she also hinted at her relationship with herself.
“My friend. If you go to the building I told you about and say you’ll pay a day’s wages for the friends inside, I’ll reveal myself. “Her opium addiction must keep her in a place like this, but she was a great beauty in my hometown, so she won’t be disappointed.”
“I’m looking forward to it. “I will give you a few more gold coins, so please go to Khalid’s place.”
“You don’t decide by looking at it yourself?”
“If that were the intention, I wouldn’t have even asked to recommend it in the first place.”
The grinning boy moved forward with that smile on his face. With an expression as if I had encountered something strange, I left the gatekeeper standing in the spot I had been guarding just a moment ago and headed toward the place he had guided me to.
The damp smell of a decadent street.
The thick darkness further fueled the boy’s desire. I was very happy to see the prostitutes who were coquettish to welcome empty guests, the males who were moaning with the intention of spilling out everything they had in them, and most of all, the small sorrows of those who were filled with emptiness.
“It is said that the world is wide and there are many strong people, but a man who was once regarded as the king of the continent is barely able to live in a closet like this.”
By the time we reached the abandoned house, filled with the smell of rotting flesh, the atmosphere had reached its peak. The stomach-churning stench was strong and strong enough to put off even people familiar with this street. The boy here never frowned once.
Anyway, in front.
I could feel the eerie presence of people in the pitch black space. A person as talented as a boy could also see the brilliant eye light beyond. From that point on, I realized that the person I wanted to kill wasn’t someone I would want to attack by cutting me down with a single sword.
“There is nothing wrong with the old saying. Youth is something too rich to be given to the young.”
“… “Who are you?”
“Are you curious?”
The boy asked back, strengthening his eyesight. Then, the shape of a skinny body slowly emerged from the darkness. The man who sat on a cushion because he had nothing below his knees was Khalid Masood, and he was a man from the Vedas.
“As for me, I used to be the loser of the North. He is the commander who defeated the barbaric Kamag of the Great Snow Plains dozens of times, and is also a soldier who protected the border of Gaul throughout his life. Following in the footsteps of his teacher and his brother, he became the best swordsman in the country and is now an ambitious man who dreams of becoming a god.”
Khalid sat on the bed, as his nickname “Squat-bump,” Sneered with a bitter look on his face. It was because he guessed the identity of the boy who spread his arms lightly and spread them happily. Even though this continent is large, how could there be a strong person that I can’t defeat?
“I’ve heard the rumors. Beneath some crazy things, some more crazy things. But why is a person like you making fun of this place?”
“There is nothing happier than when two people who have never met each other come to an understanding. I wanted to check the level of the guys who made a name for themselves after my death. Listening to what luxury people are saying, the man who will soon be my partner is not that easy…”
“Hmph, I guess so. No matter how proud the margrave was, he could not have looked down on a knight who was called invincible.”
Gérard, who had straightened up a chair that had been lying on the floor, surprisingly readily agreed to those words. No matter how the world praises Lumiere’s invincible knight, that is none of my business. However, it would be a different story if Alexandre, the fearful thousand-year-old evil, chose the person with the furthest blood among countless families.
“Survival has always been my virtue. They say he’s a bastard who only puts on a show and can’t even take care of the substance. The strong are called that because they survive. “If it means exploiting the weaknesses of my enemy, I am willing to do so.”
“Funny, old kid. But this Khalid does not listen to the orders of ordinary people. I’m sure you can defeat this body. Even if we remain aloof in the face of death, there is no such thing as abject prayer. Because that is our Vedic way.”
“Yeah, I guess we have opposite ways of thinking.”
The secret to how the 9th Margrave of the Northern East Province was able to maintain his reputation despite all the interference was very simple. He was a man of extraordinary magnanimity. He didn’t even react to the slightest provocation. However, he simply captured those who could be captured and defeated those who needed to be defeated.
“But Khalid Masood, the quadruple brother Ahmad, the Amir of Beda, is still writing the history of an invincible general. “Isn’t it truly disgraceful that this is the situation of a person who turned his back on his country and converted?”
“… “Like a viper, you use your tongue.”
“You were the finalist in the continental swordsmanship contest held in Lumiere. Regardless of victory or defeat, those who were there at that time are all commanding the world in one way or another. But what about you, who was a strong candidate for the championship? Not only did he lose both of her legs to the woman’s younger brother who wanted to covet him, but he lives in misery by hiding in the shadows.”
The stranger, whose speech was already slurred, had become completely sick due to the injuries he received from his nemesis. No adult can laugh off such hurt or resentment. Therefore, contrary to what appeared on the outside, the Margrave’s appeasement on his return was working quite well.
“Khalid Masood, the old invincible general of Beda. The man who defeated the young prince Albenis Aragorn and carved a scar on the face of Romuald Dior. “I will make you an offer you cannot refuse, as Archbishop Albert Monet has been eyeing for a while as his successor.”
“… Gerard, Le Mohan.”
“Join the glorious revolution. Once you get everything you want, you can regain your old self, and stand by this side in the war that will soon shake up. If you do that, I will give you the wish you never wanted and allow you to enjoy luxury.”
Some disparage the ninth master of the Lemoin family, saying he is nothing more than a lecher. However, if he is a person with even the slightest insight, he will never agree with that assessment. This man, who claims that survival is the greatest principle, was not in the eyes of my teacher for nothing.
“No matter what you want, you know it’s impossible with this body.”
“Even the incompetent Eugene used his own flesh and blood as a tool, so why do I assume that he wouldn’t?”
There are too many bodies to replace. The same goes for the chess pieces that will be handled and played. The man who could not kill the man who tried to rape his sister, even though he had his legs cut off, instead expelled the foolish and easy-to-use retainers for the same reason and kept them alive.
“It’s okay to be happy. “The new body that will be given to General Khalid, who was invincible over time, is the children born with the blood of me, Gerard Lemohan.”
“You talk as if you know very well what my desires, the true heir of the Masood family, want.”
The lifeless man’s eyes returned to life. The dazzling, burning desire illuminated countless corpses lying around the man who was looked down upon as a cripple. Whatever the reason, it was his work that did not spare those who approached me.
“There’s nothing to be ashamed of. “Everyone lives with at least one such desire in their heart.”
“Then, Gerard Lemohan. You are so arrogant, what kind of desire does a traitor who resolutely rejects even God’s providence harbor?”
“Humility is survival. It is a bold challenge. But honestly, this body is the same too.”
Finally, the prosecutor of Salup raised the topic. I waited for Gérard Lemohan’s response, thinking that my whereabouts would be determined depending on the answer.
“The light of heaven must be mine.”
In fact, it was almost like it had already been decided.
“Like the enslaved Marguerite you wanted to get your hands on.”
Just as we cannot stop the coming unification war of the northern and eastern regions!
