Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 132

Leaving behind Krul, who had pledged to protect the tribe's honor and ensure that the people could go to the city without any conflict, Asilier and I returned to the capital carrying the slave trader..

I wanted to earn some pocket money by ripping out their tents and corpses, but since the attack was already one-sided, I felt like I had to avoid as many strange excuses as possible, such as saying that the purpose was to loot, or that I was a man without honor, so I couldn't help but cry. The safe just came back.

Of course, I can't be honorable and rude to those who buy and sell people as slaves, but my opponent is a nobleman. Even if you give excuses, the number of people you have to kill will only increase..

On the way home, I heard many stories, including the amazing fact that even if prisoners' teeth fall out, they grow back like fingernails, so arriving at the capital was a breeze. The guards who discovered a strange man carrying a person tied up in the middle of the night asked him many questions in order to fulfill their duty, but when they confidently said that they were just trying to catch a criminal, they went over it more smoothly than expected. Every time something like this happens, I'm not sure if the security is good or bad..

After going through such a minor inspection, we arrived at the Ogatorf Mansion, and even though the lights would normally have been turned off a long time ago, not only were the lights not turned off, but the occupants were busy moving about..

"What is this??"

I came with a gift, but no one showed any interest. Just as I was about to get upset, what caught my eye was Cheryl with the house manager..

"Ah, Eldmia. It came right at the right time. I was trying to transport Yan Tie, who you brought with me, to where my father is.."

"Yen Tie? Who is that... Ah, Mongsoon's name is Yan Tie.?"

"...They were calling me a strange pseudonym whose origins I really don't know. If we are talking about the person who serves dreams, his name is Yan Tie. Who else is that on your shoulder??"

"slaver. This is a proof document."

When I put the still unconscious guy and the bag containing various documents on the floor, not only Sheryl but also the house manager couldn't control their expressions and looked at me in surprise and asked..

"oh my god. How did they kidnap you??"

"I killed them all, saved only this one, and kidnapped him. The people who were captured as slaves distributed the property they had gathered on the spot and then left them to their own devices.."

The head deacon couldn't help but be amazed when he calmly relayed the truth, and Cheryl was shocked..

"I killed them all?"

"Every single one... Ah, sister. Did all the kids who ran away at the end die??"

"huh."

"That's right. Then it would be correct that everyone but one is dead. That one person is him."

I thought she would be happy because she had new evidence, but Cheryl looked at the guy sprawled on the floor in a strangely calm manner and then spoke to me..

"Eldmia. Of course this is a huge help... but it may end up being a lot more to handle than you think. It'll be okay?"

"What can you handle??"

"...You end up turning many nobles into enemies.."

Did you receive any message from Lord Ekaf while I was away? Cheryl had a very serious and serious reaction, but honestly, I laughed out loud..

"Wrong. I didn't turn them into enemies, they turned me into enemies, and it's up to them to take care of it, not me.."

People who have a lot have a lot to lose. Although the answer was given with a smile, Cheryl would understand that it was different from a light joke. Whatever it is, it's true that we get along well..

Sure enough, after nodding a couple of times in understanding, she went back to the main topic and continued talking while patting the slave dealer lying at her feet..

"...First of all, I think it would be better to transport this guy to where his father is. what do you do?"

"Where is it??"

"royal household. His Majesty the King is directly involved in this matter. I received a message saying that tomorrow's trial is also a trial, but that many issues are being dealt with separately.."

"I'll decline. I have to go to bed early and wake up early to clean up other places too.."

As soon as I heard about the royal family, what came to mind was the sly Duke of Lesrom. A person who feels uncomfortable even though they are involved and get good results.

If I go, my head will only hurt and I won't be able to sleep. The king has already left, so what can I do there??

"But I might as well take this opportunity to praise you for your work...."

"It will all be sorted out later and given to you if you need it. As I was running around today, it seemed like they were on the verge of starting a festival by taking out the snakes in their stomachs, but I don't want to get involved in that. Politics is not my area of ​​involvement.."

I'm just too busy making the guy who messed with me look like an asshole. Although he does all this, there is a reason why he avoids formal ordination and does not learn swordsmanship directly from Lord Ekaf..

"Tomorrow I'm going to attack the thieves who were collaborating with the slave traders. I'll bring anything else, so leave a means of contact at the mansion.."

Just by looking at her outfit, it was obvious that Cheryl was going to get into the carriage and head to the royal palace, so after saying a quick goodbye, I left her behind and headed to the mansion..

"Hehehe. It’s still the same, L.D.."

"huh? what?"

Asilier, who was watching the conversation between me and Sheryl in silence, smiled and said,.

"There is not much desire for power or material desires. Usually people your age tend to be greedy for things like that, right??"

"It's not that I have any particular desires.."

One of my theories is that money is not everything in the world, but it is most of it. And the same goes for power. Even for the sake of my comfortable fantasy life, I have no intention of living like a monk. It's just a distraction right now..

"well? Have you ever thought about what the current L.D. looks like in the eyes of others??"

"Ummmm... When he's still, he's an ordinary pretty boy, but when you touch him, he goes crazy?"

"What on earth do you really believe in and have so much confidence in your appearance?."

No, now I have three women who like me, so it wouldn't be strange if I became a god just because of my confidence. Still, it was a source of shameful confidence for her to speak directly with her own mouth, so when she kept her mouth shut, Asilier gave an answer that continued to the main point..

"It hasn't been announced to the public yet, so even if this incident is resolved, L.D. will be known as a hero. In fact, you know that many of the things you have already done would not be surprising if they remained in the stories of fairy tale heroes.?"

"Honestly, I think it's a reasonable level because there are so many colorful people around me.."

Even just looking at the members of the abandoned dungeon party, it is not unusual. In Esmueh, there is Siegfried, a true warrior, and Cheryl, a practical fighter who is at the top of the kingdom academy's sexual caste. Whatever it is, Asilier's knowledge and skills are by no means common..

I'd like to say that I'm just an ordinary citizen with a hobby of splitting the heads of people who mess with me... but when I think about it, the world is full of ugly people, unlike those good people..

"hmm. Withdrawal of message. It doesn't seem normal."

"That's what I call it. An ordinary person did a job for the imperial princess."

"No, it would be a bit unfair if you said it was work...."

Even if I put it bluntly, I still say that. Asilier shrugged her shoulders, paying no heed to my trivial rebuttal..

"anyway. It's to the point where my mouth is itchy because I can't boast about it to others. But I don't dare say it out loud, let alone brag about it, so what is it if I'm not greedy??"

"It's all just part of the grand plan.."

"plan?"

Although she had a puzzled look on her face, Asilier did not press for an answer because she knew better than anyone else that what I could call a plan was ultimately related to revenge..

"Hey, I don't even know what level of work I've done so far has been. As you know, you are quite smart compared to your peers. This time, I will not be included in the list of people who can be used as a face to calm the already troubled public sentiment in the process of properly catching Count Bosha, rooting out traitors, and confiscating his property.?"

As the war continues to prolong, if news spreads that there were signs of rebellion, the already gloomy world will become even more gloomy. In such cases, attempts to create a positive atmosphere by presenting the presence of a hero are the same everywhere..

I don't know how many hero candidates there are for that, but if you add in the prevention of Favaera's great tragedy, the demons in the abandoned dungeon, and Esmue's rescue, I won't be particularly missing or lacking in the list of hero candidates..

"From the moment you win there, you will be at a loss for the kingdom's circumstances, so I will go around bragging about what I did to increase my chances of winning.."

And the moment they bite into the reward and power that is given as an excuse, they will use it to their core..

I don't know if I'm a person without a purpose, but right now I have no idea..

"It's all just a distraction now. So, I need to be more aggressive and get off that list. Wealth and power are stories that come after revenge.."

I don't like being influenced by others, even if it's part of a plan where I voluntarily devote my time..

However, I can't just sit there and not be able to yell at people who get on my nerves, so I try to make a big mess by making a big fuss..

It was definitely an advantage, but it would be difficult to just cover it up and praise it so that I would be perceived as an ambiguous person..

"Then Esmu?"

"huh?"

"Even if you ignore the kingdom like that, Esmyu will never just ignore your achievements.?"

"Well, that's an unexpected setback to my perfect plan. Wouldn’t my future self do something about it?."

"Really... even though it seems like something is elaborate, it's nonsense.."

I couldn't reply in any way to Asilier, who shook her head with a faint smile..
