Billy went to see Roman Dmitry.
It was to set an appointment date according to Count Bragan's orders, but it ran into difficulties from the start..
“Sorry, I can't meet you right now.”
It was Hans..
In a situation where the meeting itself was not permitted in the first place, Billy requested earnestly in the most polite voice possible..
“I know that Roman Dmitry is busy. However, Count Bragan has come to represent the Valhalla Empire, and he cannot wait forever. This doesn't mean I'm asking you to take your time right now. One day is one day, two days is two days. Even if it takes longer than that, if you just tell me the date of your promise to meet me, I will return without a word and convey that information to Count Bragan..”
“It's impossible. Mr. Master did not allow anyone to enter until his personal schedule was completed..”
“but…….”
a series of rejections.
Billy's expression distorted..
Although he was trying to be polite and follow orders, the servant's attitude was annoying him..
“Don't just say sorry over and over again. Still, I think I can convey Count Bragan’s intentions..”
There was a thorn in the horse.
The other person is just a servant.
Aside from Count Bragan, he was not in a position to open his eyes and speak clearly to himself, a knight..
It gave off a slightly threatening vibe..
Since Count Bragan had ordered him to carry out his purpose by any means possible, even Billy could not simply retreat like this..
hans said.
“Sir. No matter how many times you ask, the situation will not change. This meeting was not originally planned. It's not that I don't understand your impatience, but it's very difficult to force a unilateral promise..”
“This guy is real.”
sudden.
My hand went up without me realizing it..
I got cocky.
If a servant had treated me like this in Valhalla, I bet he would have cut off his head with a single sword..
It was then.
“Put your hand down.”
right next to you.
I heard a cold voice.
When Billy unconsciously turned his head, a man with a face he had never seen before was looking at him..
* * *
I didn't recognize Kevin's face at first..
Dmitry's Demon.
His reputation was great in Valhalla, but even his appearance was not known in detail..
Hans' eyes turned to Kevin..
“Hello Kevin. I am okay.”
‘Kevin?’
Billy's eyes widened..
He looked at Hans and Kevin alternately and realized that the mysterious man was Dmitry's demon, whom he had heard about through rumors..
I laughed awkwardly for a moment.
I thought that the way he was about to hit Hans could make the situation worse..
“Hahaha, don't get me wrong. After visiting Roman Dmitry,…….”
“Stop saying nonsense. Who are you, trying to hit Mr. Hans in Dmitry's territory??”
It was a bloody voice.
the problem is.
Kevin's remarks hurt Billy's pride..
That's not to say that his actions were good, but the other person wasn't something great and was only a servant..
“That doesn't sound the same. Aren’t you saying too much??”
“I definitely would have told you to explain your actions..”
“Don't speak to me as if you're commanding me. I am not Dmitri, but a knight of the Valhalla Empire. There is no reason for me to treat you like this, and even if I did mess with a servant, what would you do??”
Count Bragan said.
Show me the location of Valhalla..
As Billy came out strong, Kevin came right in front of him and looked up from below at Billy, who was taller than him..
“Say it again. what?”
“Fuck, it's so varied. Are you all Dmitry's demon? I, the knight, didn't hit him, so why are you making such a fuss because I raised my hand against a servant? Even if you hadn’t ignored us in the first place… … evil!”
Wow!
My head turned.
Billy, who realized that he had been hit in the face with such a strong shock, could not hold back his boiling anger and pulled out his sword..
“How dare you hit me in the face?!”
Kwarung.
Crumbling rumbling.
created an aura.
I drew my sword like lightning and tried to subdue Kevin without thinking about what happened next..
however.
hook.
dodged the attack.
Instead of pulling out his sword in the same manner, Kevin let go of the attack with a light movement and struck Billy in the face again..
blood spattered from face.
Billy, stained with embarrassment, tried to hastily counterattack, but his head always turned when he swung his sword..
Shocks exploded in succession..
The intense anger disappeared in an instant, and when I came to, I was on my knees and holding my hair..
Wow.
Crack, clap..
I kept hitting my cheek..
Billy tried to stop the attack with his pitiful hand, but the vicious hand grabbed his hair and wouldn't let go..
Billy's actions.
The mere act of violence against Dmitry was infuriating..
Moreover, the opponent was Hans..
who is hans.
Aside from the fact that he was a person Roman Dmitry truly cared about, Hans was also very special to Kevin..
When I first moved around the slums.
Kevin, who followed Roman Dmitry into the castle, was cared for by Hans..
I will never forget the grace I received back then..
Although my social status has now risen and I am now in a position to give orders to servants, I never lost my gratitude whenever I met Hans..
Whereby.
In Dmitry, no one could touch Hans..
Since he was an important person to Roman Dmitry and Kevin, the status of the servant was not important at all..
Such a being.
It was a situation where I almost got hit by an outsider..
When they dragged him by his hair and slapped him several times, Billy opened his mouth with difficulty, his face covered in blood..
“……you … … Come on, can you handle it? … … I, I am a knight of Valhalla.”
like he said.
Billy is no ordinary knight..
A knight of Valhalla who serves Count Bragan.
Because he had the stature of the empire on his back, he expressed his anger even when faced with Dmitri's demon..
grinned.
Thinking that his threat had worked, he spoke again.
“……you're in big trouble.”
Stand tall.
stopped acting.
Kevin looked at Billy while holding his hair and showed a strange expression..
“Should I tell you a funny story??”
“……crazy bastard.”
“When I didn't know anything about the world yet, I attended Barco's party with my lord. At that time, I didn't respond in any way even when I heard the guys insulting Dmitry. that day. My lord turned those guys into blood clots instead of me. And he told me From now on, develop an eye for judging others..”
closely.
I grabbed my head hard..
When the opponent complained of pain, Kevin laughed cruelly..
The figure reminded me of Roman Dmitry..
“By my current standards, you're a guy I can mess with..”
In those words.
Billy's expression turned pale..
Only then did he realize that something was wrong..
* * *
“……This is what happened.”
Billy finished his explanation with difficulty..
a series of circumstances.
As Count Bragan, he couldn't help but be angry..
It's wrong to try to use violence in someone else's territory, but isn't Billy still a knight of Valhalla?.
“Dmitry, you damn bastards..”
crossed the line.
Hans or Kevin.
They didn't treat Valhalla one bit..
Hans was unable to set an appointment date, so he spoke clearly, and Kevin used indiscriminate violence despite knowing that he belonged to Valhalla..
My stomach was boiling..
I wanted to go to Roman Dmitry right away and beat them up by pointing out their mistakes..
but.
couldn't do that.
Did they say that a thirsty person digs a well?.
In order to end the relationship with Roman Dmitry in catastrophe, the Valhalla imperial family had a lot to wish for from him..
dump.
“Roman Dmitry. You had a childlike side.”
sat on the sofa.
Hans and Kevin's actions.
It must have been Roman Dmitry's order..
There was a high probability that Roman Dmitry, who had a bad relationship with the Valhalla imperial family, ordered it to be done for personal revenge..
It was just as rumored.
Roman Dmitry is said to be quite a radical person, but I had no idea that even the Valhalla Empire would be provoked like this in a situation where the Kronos Empire is hostile..
“……Just bear with me this one time.”
I suppressed my anger..
just once.
I felt like we had to meet somehow..
Meet him, and he will tell you what will happen if you continue your relationship with the Valhalla Empire like this..
“Let's see if he shows the same attitude back then as he does now..”
I gritted my teeth.
Revenge begins with patience.
Count Bragan's eyes turned cold.
He lay down on the sofa and began to imagine what it would be like to meet Roman Dmitry..
* * *
that time.
Roman Dmitry was conducting a video conference with the kings of the three southern kingdoms of Kronos through a magic communicator..
beyond the screen.
King Umberto said.
[It is no longer possible to accept refugees from Odelia. Because of them, incidents big and small are constantly happening in the border area, and the problem is that even if they are punished, the fundamental problem cannot be solved. Refugees who commit serious crimes immediately flee to the lawless areas of Odelia. Since there is no government to take responsibility and punish their actions, the lawless zone is essentially a land of impunity for criminals..]
[you're right. There are also increasing cases of Frankish criminals crossing the Odelia border the moment they are wanted..]
Odelia's Fall.
It gave rise to unexpected problems.
The lords of Odelia, who lost their royal family, only thought about their own safety, and a lawless zone was formed outside the domains that were divided into dozens..
It was a total mess.
The people who settled in the ruined capital resorted to crimes to survive, but the lords of Odelia had no intention of punishing them..
It was extreme egoism..
No one in Odelia was just waiting for someone to solve the confusing situation rather than correct it..
In the meantime, Odelia was neglected..
Because of the thought that the war with Kronos might start again when exactly, they could not disperse their troops in Odelia..
Kronos sent a clear warning by blowing up Odelia's capital..
Even if the truce was accepted, the same thing could happen if the existence of the Kronos Empire was overlooked..
and now.
Roman Dmitry said.
“My thoughts are the same. I can no longer stand by and ignore Odelia. Odelia's situation has been put on the back burner due to complex issues, but now is the time to sort things out. In order to prepare for the war with Kronos, Odelia, located in the southwest, must be stabilized. If their presence remains an element of strife, it will inevitably have a negative impact on the southern three kingdoms..”
Southern Three Kingdoms.
Odelia was at the forefront of them..
It was a matter of timing, something they had to solve somehow..
King Redford asked.
[Would you mind? The process of organizing Odelia will not be easy. Clearing up lawless areas is a problem, but the biggest problem is presenting a system that the existing powers can understand..]
“Now is the time. It cannot be resolved unless Kronos has taken a step back with a truce and Valhalla is engulfed in civil war. And we have no reason to care about those in power in Odelia. Even if the royal family they followed was destroyed, it does not change the fact that Odelia joined Kronos' side..”
This.
It was a war with a different meaning.
Rather than creating an environment for Odelia, there was a need to properly merge them..
“We will send some of Dmitry's troops. In this matter, the priority is to eliminate the elements of instability in the rear. If people in lawless areas and those in power rebel, it is okay to classify them as enemies..”
[All right.]
[I'll handle it that way.]
Video conference ended.
Odelia's problem.
It was a matter for the three southern kingdoms to take the lead in handling..
Roman Dmitry only proposed the dispatch of troops and guidance, but he planned to take a step back and focus on the problems of Valhalla..
A week has passed since then.
After carrying out the plan in his head to some extent, Roman Dmitry called Hans and gave him orders..
“Hans. Call Count Bragan.”
“All right.”
Count of Bragan.
Finally, the moment he had been waiting for came.
