My Villains Episode 170
42. bridle(2)
The inexplicable twinkle in Hayla's eyes had eventually subsided. I looked into the colorless gaze and slowly opened my mouth..
“Is that why you came? Now that I am pregnant, I will take you to Eyland.?”
“huh.”
“But did you come in person? I didn't know that Nyx would die, so even if that were the case, you are a precious body..”
“Originally, my mother-in-law was going to come..”
“••••••out of home?”
“Count Akele.”
If he is Count Akele, then he is Phoenix's father.?
“ ah.”
That's right, he's my cousin..
Since Hayla's mother is Poynix's aunt, Count Akele is Hayla's maternal uncle..
It is a moment to realize once again the genealogy of the twin royal families.…….
“You were stranded when the fishman army appeared..”
“Fishman Army?”
“huh.”
Hayla, who had kept her mouth shut, blinked her eyes a couple of times when I stared at her, then continued her explanation..
“It's a fishman army launched from the Narrow Sea..”
“……Well, in the narrow sea?”
“huh. They said it was a rare case. Fish people usually live in the ocean..”
‘The 'Merfolk' are enemies that we have already encountered in South Harbor..
Liver, a sea bass commonly called 'grouper', 'Golden Molly', which resembles a golden tropical fish, 'Unveiled Witch' who was disguised as Countess Camilla, and 'Sea Giant' who walked up from deep water. They were all fishmen..
Since appearing in large numbers in Chapter 2, their faces are only shown intermittently in the game..
Those guys went out on a large scale.?
“Once the fishmen group starts to grow in size, they plunder the coast indiscriminately. It's close to impossible to lead a fleet to subjugate.”
The voice that somehow felt like a computer narration continued..
“So Count Akelle is looking for the leader with the wizards of the duchy. If you just kill the leader, the army will disperse quickly..”
for a moment. Fishman Chief?
“……“Do you know what that guy called the leader looks like?” “I heard it looks like a mix between an octopus and a human..”
“Holding something like a coral staff?”
“that's right.”
“……under.”
‘‘Priest of the Deep Sea’.
Originally, this was a boss monster that should have died in Chapter 2, but perhaps because the underground lord suddenly appeared, he wasn't even visible in the end..
Thanks to the fact that the robber baron who was supposed to have escaped died in South Harbor, the events in Longville were handled, um, easier. Of course, there were quite a few twists, but.
On the other hand, the priest of the deep sea, who should have died, is alive and running away and is doing something else somewhere in the world. By raising up an army..
Just a fucking snowball..
While I was wiping my face, Hayla blinked quietly and then continued..
“Kaisis said he wanted to solidify the succession structure as soon as possible. He also said he wanted to see as many candidates as possible..”
“......uh?”
“We're young, but that doesn't mean we have a lot of time.”
Although she was in the middle of saying something out of the blue, Hayla still had an expressionless expression..
“Jahakhar and Baluin have been valuable hands for generations. Even if we hurry up and finish the wedding ceremony and start annexation, it will be difficult to have more than four people..”
“Wait, wait a minute.”
When I raised my hand in confusion, Hayla immediately shut her mouth..
“What are you saying all of a sudden??”
“Talking about your duties as a pregnant woman
going to be." “… … The story is progressing as it pleases, but I have no intention of returning to Eyland. I have no intention of becoming pregnant..”
At that moment, Hayla's eyebrows twitched slightly..
On the other hand, Ellen, whose face was contorted as she died next to her, had twinkling eyes. I made eye contact with him and shrugged my shoulders..
“I have work to do. Here's what I promised Ellen..”
“That's right, promise.”
Ellen quickly nodded, looked back at Hayla, and narrowed her eyes as if she felt sorry..
“I guess you don't know, but marriage doesn't happen just because one party insists on it..”
Hayla slowly turned her head and looked at him..
Ellen smiled brightly at the gaze that had something cold in it..
“What are you looking at??”
Is it because of my mood? It feels like the room is suddenly getting colder..
Just as I was about to say something, Hayla spoke first..
“One side is not insisting.”
“Ah, yes?”
Ellen looked at Heyla and tilted her head..
“I think Poi said he had no intention of marrying you. Did I hear wrong because I hurt my ear??”
I forgot. The black eyes sparkled like glass beads..
“9Fourteen years ago, I was chosen to be Poi's partner. Both families agreed, and as soon as Poi turned fifteen, they became officially engaged. Things went awry for a while when my sister died, but fate eventually came back to normal..”
The pitchless voice continued quietly and persistently..
“Foy and I will have the perfect child. A child with Poi's muscles and my blood, Poi's spirit and my magic. The child that the awakened members of the family are longing for..”
“Do it in moderation.”
Ellen glared at Hayla with a hardened expression..
“Just because you act like a sire, I think Po needs to become a stallion too.?”
“Ellen, you talk too much..”
When Ellen remained silent at my dissuasion, Hayla turned her head this way..
“It's not such a frivolous story..”
«......eww ”
〒『•
“Remember your family's wishes.”
I quietly looked into Hayla’s eyes..
As a member of the Baluin family, there was no emotion in her eyes..
“Our child will lead the Blood Knights to conquer the continent. Become a true blood king.”
Just because you don't have feelings doesn't mean you don't have greed..
An obsession and greed that no criminal could imagine was deeply engraved in the blood of Zahakar and Baluin. The fact that they have monopolized the huge land called Eylantra for over 500 years was also a product of such obsession and greed..
“that's our destiny.”
I saw waves in colorless eyes.
twisted and violent waves.
It felt like I was going to be swallowed up by the waves at any moment..
I used the headache as an excuse to run out of the room. Hayla just looked at me quietly and nodded, but didn't do anything to stop me..
“ Eh-”
As soon as I left the visit with Ellen, a figure appeared from somewhere and came running towards me..
“bundle?”
“trunnion.”
The bundle was wearing loose clothes made of linen. The guy who ran right in front took a quick look at Ellen and stopped abruptly..
I smiled and gestured to him..
“You said you were hurt? are you okay?”
“Hehe. It's nice and sweet.”
“where?”
Munchi took a step closer, stretched out his left leg, and pointed to the side of his thigh, saying, “Here.” The thick thing underneath the pants looks like a bandage..
“There is no problem with walking?”
“Jiji-ang?”
“Is there anything uncomfortable?.”
“Eh, be strict. It's not uncomfortable.”
It was so cute that he answered back so quickly that I reached out my hand and ruffled his hair..
“to-”
Mungchi, whose eyes were half closed, looked a little disappointed when my hand fell..
“I heard the story.”
“It's a story?”
“He said he saved Ellen.?”
“Do as Poi says..”
“yes, thank you.”
Hehe, I patted the smiling guy’s head again..
“ oh.”
Even before I touch it, the heel of the bundle suddenly lifts up as if to greet me. The fluffy face was cute so I pinched the tip of my nose slightly..
“Ah, Ellen..”
“……what.”
“I said thank you to Mungchi.?”
Ellen was making a sullen expression with her arms crossed..
“why do i?”
“……‘Why me? He said he would have died if it wasn't for the bundle..”
“Did I do that to save myself? I just did what you told me.”
“Hey, you-”
I suddenly frowned, and the bundle that was watching us quickly intervened..
“Try it.”
“huh‘?”
“Ellen, do it to me..”
“……Thank you?”
“Also, I say it's more useful than it looks. Also, Ellen gave me a gold coin. Change that prayer.”
Ellen was just pouting while Munchi was talking intently..
“……What, did you do well? “Why are you so upset?” “Who’s sullen?” “Who is it, you? what's the matter?”
Despite my question, Ellen just kept her mouth shut..
Well, I guess I don't really want to open my mouth..
By the time I left the courtyard, the faint noise from earlier had gradually become clearer..
“Line up, line up! You idiots!”
“Hit, stab, pull, hit, stab, pull! What on earth is so difficult?!”
In addition to the fierce yelling, there is a loud sound of feet sweeping the floor and pieces of wood hitting each other violently..
“what? What kind of fuss are you making in front of the Yeongjugwan??”
“It's training..”
“••••••training?”
“yes. Gather people and train them.”
Ellen added to Mungchi’s words..
“The Baroness conscripted the people of the territory. They're doing this to train that ragtag group of people..”
“Are you planning to fight against Count Tristan's army??”
“I don't know. Since I came back, I've only been in my room..”
After hearing what he said, I quickly left the residence and saw that there were about 200 men brandishing quarterstaffs under the command of Chester, the training leader. Next to Chester, Utequoi is taking its place..
“Hey, Ute Kwai!”
The three non-commissioned officers and soldiers have been causing trouble among the conscripts, so there is no market for them. Only after I shouted three or four times did Utequai turn around..
“……What kind of fuss is this??”
As I was waving at him, some familiar faces came running up from among the soldiers..
“Poinix!”
“What are you doing here again??”
It was leader Amias and tight end Steedman. Amias opened his mouth, wiping away the dusty sweat..
“The training leader asked me to help out a little, so I was just paying for food..”
“Damn it, what have we done so far? We have to pay for food again.?”
“Because I have nothing else to do……
As Amias trailed off, Steedman blew his nose and joked..
“Actually, I was trying to act like a carnivore while fighting next to Poynix, but wow, it was so hard that I couldn't breathe. Ellen and the person who will become your wife.-”
“Who will be your wife??”
Steedman, who was talking about something, found Ellen following me and kept his mouth shut..
Then Ellen smiled..
“Madam, you will be?”
“……uh,”
“Who said that??”
“For me, that's,”
At that time, archer Cole appeared behind the stuttering Steedman. It seems they discovered us late because they were helping with training with a group of hunters..
Cole made eye contact with Steedman for a moment and then greeted me with a grave expression..
“You woke up. Are you feeling okay??”
“Yes, as you can see.”
“The lady you were talking about is over there..”
When Ellen narrowed her eyes at Cole's words, Steedman clapped his hands and pointed to one side of the vacant lot..
“Ah, yes. The Baroness. He is learning swordsmanship at the request of Mira, and he is very enthusiastic. Mira, I'm sick of that toxic bitch..”
While Steedman was talking like that, Utequai also appeared at a leisurely pace..
“Huh - Poynix, I lived well without being pressured by girls..”
“What are you talking about, you bastard?.”
After briefly saying hello to the giggling guy, I immediately expressed my doubts..
“So, do you really want to fight? They say the army over there is over a thousand strong..”
“This one is also close to 400. It's worth a try.”
“Don't talk nonsense. I heard there are knights in their 20s and saboteurs, so it’s worth a try..”
“If you get stuck in the field, you have no chance of winning. But if you fight with a wooden fence on, you can survive..”
“Hold on?”
“be right.”
Amias, who was next to me, added an explanation..
“The Baroness sent a letter to the royal capital..”
“Correspondence? by what means?”
“Mr. Janabas helped me..”
Druid Xanavas? Well, did you blow Jeon Seo-gu??
“I will ask the Supreme Court of the capital for a ruling. Because it's about inheritance..”
“Will that solve it??”
“From what I heard from Veldin, there's nothing else that can be done. I don't want to let go and see the people of the territory reduced to slaves.……
« O ”
Talking about slavery was something Atalanta told me..
The story is that if Doyle, the second son of Count Tristan, takes possession of Longville, he will drive the residents into the gold mines to raise war funds and then start a rebellion..
“at last……
A few days ago, someone spied on me while I was practicing in the backyard of the Yeongjugwan. I followed her gaze, went up to the second floor, met Dionea, and I told her the above story..
He said he would think about it at the time, but it seems he finally made up his mind. It's a result I didn't want.…….
I scratched my eyebrows and smiled as I looked at Ute Kwai..
“But why did you intervene? He said he didn't want to get involved in this kind of political play.?”
“It's not a political game. Just helps you become a warrior.”
His gaze was directed at the conscripts..
Most of them were young men, but there were men of various ages, from a young boy who must have been as young as fourteen to an old, gray-faced man..
“……Being a warrior sucks. Would you be able to become a warrior if you suddenly gathered something like this? I think everyone is like you?”
Ute Kwai smiled at my cynicism..
“Yeah, they're all like me..”
“No one is born a warrior. Life just forges you into a warrior.”
“……What kind of nonsense are you talking about?.”
“Fate is hammering down on them. There are two paths. Either break and die, or be forged and become a warrior..”
“You can't give a hit instead of a hammer. But I am a Daejeon envoy. Making iron hot is very easy..”
I pondered the riddle-like words and nodded quietly..
Leaving Utekwai behind, I met Daionea. As I was about to enter the courtyard with her, unexpected news came from the gate..
“Why are they here??”
While Dionea was questioning the messenger, I quickly ran out to the front of the manor..
At that moment, a man and horse of about twenty were running along the road leading from the gate, blowing dust..
The lead driver made eye contact with me and burst into laughter..
“haha! Early reunion.!”
The knight jumped off his horse almost as if performing a trick. A blue cape fluttered like a wave, and a handsome man with a stylish mustache spread his arms..
“You've grown bigger, Sir! Now it might be similar to Ankir.!”
“Sir Langbolt.”
With a big smile on my face, I hugged Lang Bolt Earl Shore, a knight nicknamed ‘The Shouting Wave’..
Behind him, Ariad Barin, an old knight known as the 'Silver Prince's Adder', got off his horse..
Prince Ulkar's two knights visited Longville..
