Chapter 190
My Villains Episode 190
interlude. Regent and Sergeant
“How are you these days??”
In response to Jenessa's question, Amias tightened the sleeve straps of his chain armor and shrugged his shoulders..
“Same thing, whatever..”
“It must be hard.”
“It's hard.”
Amias smiled as if it was no big deal and put on his coat..
There was a painting of a shooting star falling through a mountain valley on the west court. No, it's the author's sentence..
“What about the Baroness??”
“……I'm not sure.”
“I don't know?”
“huh. Because it's hard to see you.”
Next, he put on a belt with a long sword and picked up the ax spear that was leaning in the corner. I walked out of the house, being careful not to scratch other furniture with the heavy blade of the ax spear..
“The Baron got up and left the room and I haven't seen him since two days ago..”
“Like that.”
Jenessa, wearing a brown gown, adjusted her collar and looked worried..
“……Take care of yourself.”
Amias looked at her face and playfully raised his eyebrows..
“Why are you so dead? I'm not going off to battle, I'm just chatting with the soldiers..”
“You know what I'm saying.”
“Don't worry about me, let's go to bed when the sun goes down. I also go to church in the morning. I'll pick you up in the morning.”
After leaving a brief kiss, Amias left the house..
Amias and Genessa have set up a house quite close to the residence..
It was a house built by remodeling a building that was originally a store, and it was a bit spacious for two people to live in. Moreover, unlike the houses around it, the building was made of bricks and even plastered, so it was very expensive for a house in a country estate..
Of course, for Amias and Genessa, twenty silver coins was not that much money. This is thanks to earning a lot of money while working under Poynix..
Even though they found a nice house in such a good location, the young couple was unable to adjust to their new life even after three weeks..
It was due to the ominous current that was flowing through Longville recently.…….
It was around dusk that Sergeant Amias arrived at the barracks. After a brief conversation with the training leader, Chester, he patrolled the fence with ten soldiers..
Thanks to the hard work of the territory residents, the wooden fence that collapsed during the war has now been somewhat restored..
In the case of the gateway, it seemed like it would take some more time to regain its former grandeur, but the wooden gate and gate tower were sufficient to protect the territory for now..
Perhaps because it rained last morning, there were quite a few places where the soil was dug up at the base of the tree. Thanks to this, Amias and the soldiers had to waste time digging here and there..
By the time the soldiers on the fence were lighting their torches, Amias had reached the manor house..
“Mr. Amias.”
“okay.”
Two of the four guarding the main gate of the lord's residence paid a courtesy to Amias..
They were Longville's soldiers selected by their training commander, Chester. It was natural to bow to Sergeant Amias..
But the other two were not.
The two men who treated Amias like a cow or a chicken were mercenaries. The men of Edwin, Baron Mallory's half-brother..
Amias looked at the two mercenaries with disapproving eyes and then changed the guards. Of the soldiers he brought with him, two stood in front of the main gate, and the two who guarded the gate joined Amias..
A similar process was repeated after entering the Yeongjugwan. Amias changed the guard in the center of the courtyard, behind the wall, and in front of the lord's bedroom..
And wherever soldiers were standing guard, Edwin's mercenaries were also standing next to them..
‘……Shit. What on earth is this?.’
As Edwin acted as a half-lord in place of the old and sick Baron Mallory, his men also acted as if they were masters of the estate. That shit wasn't normal.
Amias cursed inwardly and headed to his final destination, the hall..
“Oh, you're here..”
“It's a little late.”
Guarding the front of the hall were a middle-aged sergeant, two soldiers, and two mercenaries. Paul, a middle-aged sergeant, welcomed Amias with a smile..
“It's late. The sun just set.”
“Is that so? It took a while because I had to do some digging on the way..”
“huh? Shoveling?”
“There were some places where the ground was swamped by rainwater. I did some digging to fill it up..”
“Oh, that? I was going to take care of it on my way back..”
“Wouldn't it be a hassle to shovel while holding a torch?.”
“That's right.”
When the soldiers guarding the front of the hall finished their shift, the ten soldiers who had been guarding during the day prepared torches in the brazier placed inside the hall..
Paul, who was watching the soldiers prepare to return, suddenly looked up at the ax spear that Amias was holding..
“He always carries that damn ax spear with him. Isn’t it heavy??”
“……Well, it's not that heavy..”
Amias shrugged his shoulders and Paul chuckled..
“H-If I had such a heavy and expensive item, I would just put it in a corner of the house. You too are quite worthy..”
Amias smiled quietly and looked up at the hatchet..
The straight spear blade and the broad ax blade flashed sharply, and the lacquered spear gleamed with a reddish sheen. At first glance, it was quite an extraordinary item..
Amias recalled the moment he obtained this magical ax spear..
—ruler.
-……yes?
-What's 'yes?' Take it.
-Why do I do this to me,
-Originally, it was a national rule for non-commissioned officers to hold halberds..
-Guk rule, what is this??
-……There is such a thing. Anyway, take it, before your arm falls off..
-However, such magic tools are too much for a single baronial sergeant..
-Just shut up and take it. Because I might have something to write about someday..
-If you say it's something I'll write about someday,?
-……Well, I don't know about that. But this guy, don’t you get it quickly? I want to take a hit?
-Ugh, ah, I understand..
-good. then i go.
-Let's go together. We will see you off..
-It's okay, what if the Baron gets angry for no reason? you have to live here.
-Poynix - And, um, if you can afford it, please help Dionea too..
-Dionea? Do you mean Baroness??
-okay.
-……yes. I will do that.
-What, why are you making such a solemn expression?.
-Anyway, I'm really going. be happy.
Poynix handed over the magic ax and said goodbye with a big smile. It was a very pleasant smile that did not match his cold appearance at all. Amias could sense that he would never forget that smile for the rest of his life.…….
“Okay, I guess I'll leave..”
“……Ah, yes. proceed carefully.”
“okay. Having a hard time.”
Amias, who suddenly came to his senses at the sound of Paul's voice, saw off the returning soldiers and stood in front of the hall..
“Okay-”
And as I leaned the hatchet on my shoulder and turned on the flag, I heard an unexpected sound from somewhere..
“It's an assassination-!”
A shout close to a scream. Amias, realizing that the sound came from behind, was startled and opened the door to the hall..
“Wow!”
At that moment, a figure fell down the stairs inside the hall..
The woman wearing only a thin dress and covered in blood was Baroness Daionea.!
““Ma’am!” Amias was startled and ran towards the baroness..
“ma'am! Are you okay??”
“I, I'm fine..”
At first glance, Amias noticed that the Baroness didn't seem to be seriously injured. When he quickly took off his outer coat and handed it to her, Dionea covered herself with trembling hands and opened her mouth..
“Edwin. Edwin, he killed the Baron..”
Amias made a dazed expression at the sound like a thunderbolt..
“••••••yes?”
“Gather the soldiers! We need to get Ed Wynn right now.!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Edwin and two mercenaries appeared from the stairs where the Baroness had fallen..
“This bitch-”
Edwin appeared holding a sword, blood dripping from his back. He shouted loudly while being supported by his subordinates..
“That bitch killed my brother, Baron Mallory! Arrest me now-!”
Starting with a series of screams and shouts, the residence quickly became noisy..
Not only the soldiers who were standing guard, but also Sergeant Paul, who was just leaving the courtyard, came rushing in, leading the returning troops. Edwin's men, who were spread out throughout the manor house, also gathered with their weapons drawn..
Longville's soldiers naturally gathered towards the Baroness and Amias, and the mercenaries gathered around Edwin..
Meanwhile, Dionea was shedding tears and pointing at Edwin..
“Edwin, you abominable bastard! The Lord will punish you for killing my brother and trying to rape me.!”
“A bitch like a female praying mantis that eats her husband! You're so shameless!”
As the Baroness and Edwin ran wild, swearing at each other, the soldiers were unable to hide their confusion and were unable to do anything..
“you stupid bastards!”
Edwin, whose face was stained red, was screaming at the top of his voice even as blood was pouring from his back..
“Don't just stand there like a head, but hurry and catch that bitch.!”
“No, he's lying.!”
The Baroness also did not give up and shouted at him..
“Edwin broke into the bedroom and stabbed the Baron to death and tried to rape me next to the corpse! Look at the sword he is holding! The blood flowing over there is the Baron's.!”
“Oh, that crazy bitch-”
Venomous eyes and a voice filled with bitterness. It was the image of a wife who unfairly lost her husband..
The soldiers' eyes gradually became more ferocious as they saw the usually gentle and benevolent Baroness running wild like a madman..
“window, listen-!”
It was the shout of Paul, a middle-aged sergeant. At the same time, the soldiers aimed their javelins at the mercenaries..
“Until Captain Chester comes, we will guard you lady.!”
It may have been to control the soldiers, but it was a big mistake for Paul to shout like that..
‘The soldiers would die in silence if they heard that bitch's words. The training leader is also on that bitch’s side..’
Ed Wynn, who had been shouting in place, quickly grasped the situation and looked around the hall. While his men numbered nearly thirty, he had less than twenty soldiers..
“good-”
In the end, Edwin gritted his teeth and gave an order..
“Hit it! Kill them all!”
When the order was given, the mercenaries roared and rushed towards the soldiers..
“Block it—!”
With Sergeant Paul's shouts, a bloody fight broke out..
“Jukfuck! push it!”
“Don't back down! I have to hold on!”
The soldiers blocked the attack with spears, but Edwin's men were superior in numbers and had extensive combat experience. Shortly after the battle began, three soldiers collapsed, bleeding..
Amias, who had been guarding the Baroness's side, realized that she was outnumbered and quickly rushed forward..
“rain, on!”
The heavy ax spear made a clanging sound along with a sharp shout. Just before the ax blade touched the head of a mercenary, a strong flame erupted..
Kwasik!
The mercenary with his head split open fell to the ground. Something was flowing out in the middle of nowhere and was simmered in the flames emitted by the ax spear..
“Search it!”
Amias fiercely swung his ax and spear in all directions..
“Uh, uh—”
As red-hot flames burned fiercely before their eyes, the embarrassed mercenaries instantly stepped back..
Amias chased after them, stabbing and swinging with his axe. The heavy and sharp ax spear inflicted fatal injuries just by grazing it, and if hit incorrectly, limbs could fall off..
kagak!
Meanwhile, an ax blade got caught in the iron chandelier hanging from the ceiling..
“Uh oh,”
After a moment of panic, Amice instinctively gathered strength and pulled down the ax spear..
Giggeek, Kwachang!
“Ugh!”
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!”
A heavy iron chandelier fell into the middle of the enemy. Several mercenaries were crushed there, screaming and moaning..
When the front became blank for a moment, Amias quickly jumped away. He jumped over the chandelier and the mercenaries underneath it and lunged at Edwin..
“Damn it, stop it!”
“Mr. Geese-”
At Edwin's shout, a mercenary attacked him, holding a pulse. Amias slashed his ax spear as he ran..
Kaga Gagak,
The reddish spear violently pressed down on Pearl Sean, who was blocking him.,
Kwasik!
The heavy ax blade crushed the iron helmet..
“Geez, gurgle.,”
The mercenary with his head crushed made a strange sound, then trembled and fell down on his side..
Amias, who retrieved the ax spear, continued to run and swing the spear blade..
“Uh, oh my-”
deeply!
The mercenary who was supporting Edwin took a step back and the blade of his spear got stuck in his pole and he vomited blood..
profit-
For a moment, as the flames from the ax spear consumed the wound, the mercenary whose neck had been pierced spit out smoke instead of blood and rolled his eyes..
Amias pulled the ax and spear from the dead mercenary and swung them loudly and low in a circular motion..
“Uh, what!”
The ax blade, which was swung as if to sweep, caught Edwin's ankle. As Edwin fell hard, Amias stomped on his back and pointed the ax at his neck..
“Huh, huh-”
Amias took a deep breath and shouted..
“Everyone - stop!”
Hearing his shout, the embarrassed mercenaries stopped..
“Lower your weapon and step back! Before I split your leader in two.!”
Amias growled fiercely, aiming the flame-engulfed ax spear at Edwin's neck. The mercenaries swore lowly and retreated to the back..
At that moment, several people gathered in the hall. They were the vassals of the family, including Tolumi the Herald, Selma the Steward, Edita the Steward, and Veldin the Scrivener..
““What the hell is going on?” As Herald Tolummy shouted hoarsely, his chin shaking, the Baroness, who had been hiding behind the soldiers, stepped forward..
“Edwin, he killed the Baron..”
Her voice was quite subdued, but her eyes were still dripping with anger and venom..
“It was to usurp the throne and rape me. Like a dirty kinslayer..”
“no-!”
Edwin was crushed by Amias' feet and blood was dripping from his back. He wriggled and protested as if he was struggling..
“It's a lie, you did it! I saw it clearly with my own two eyes!”
“Not only did he kill the Baron, he tried to get his men to kill all the soldiers here..”
Edwin, realizing the disadvantage of the situation, turned to his vassals and shouted pleadingly..
““Don’t just stand still and stop that crazy bitch!” Ignoring the appeal, Daionea stepped in front of the soldiers and raised her voice..
“Sergeant Amias!”
“Yes, yes, ma'am.!”
“That guy is the criminal who murdered the Baron. Cut off his head right now!”
“ Umm-”
While Amias hesitated, watching the vassals, Edwin almost cried..
“Why did I kill my brother! There's absolutely no reason for that.!”
“Why is there no reason for that? I and everyone in Longville knew that you coveted the Baron's position.!”
“My brother, the Baron, has already promised me! He said he would pass on the territory to me.!”
As the retainers made eye contact and murmured, Edwin shouted as if pleading..
“I was planning to take over after establishing a foundation for the territory with your help! “Why would I kill you?” “What he said is true.” Butler Selma cautiously opened her mouth..
“The Baron told me that since he had no son, he would inherit the inheritance through his half-brother Edwin..”
The vassals' suspicious gaze turned to the Baroness. Then Dionea bit her lower lip and sighed..
“……The Baron said the same thing to me..”
“••••••yes?”
“I'm going to leave the estate to Edwin..”
“If it's true, madam.”
“but.”
She took off Amias's outer coat. Wearing only a thin one-piece dress, my god-like body was clearly exposed in front of the retainers and soldiers..
“You've changed your mind recently..”
The Baroness gently touched her lower abdomen. The loose dress stuck to my skin, revealing my curves..
“'Cause I found out I had his successor.”
The vassals and soldiers opened their mouths in astonishment..
Dionea glared at Ah Mias with sparkling eyes..
“Do you understand now? When Edwin realized that I had the Baron's heir, he tried to take my place by killing both my husband and I..”
“Nonsense, nonsensical.”
Edwin swallowed his breath and wriggled like crazy..
“Lies, everything she says is lies.!”
At that moment, Amias' chin trembled as if he realized something..
“Sergeant Amias! Cut off his head right now.!”
Amias gritted his teeth at Dionea's intense gaze and angry urging..
“My brother-”
Wow!
Edwin's head rolled on the floor while he was yelling..
Amias' ax spear was still emitting intense flames. Because the fire burned the cut surface, there wasn't much blood..
“Well done.”
Dionea's cold eyes looked down at Ed Wynn's head..
“You have avenged the Baron..”
The hall was filled with strange silence..
Daionea, who staggered back to the bedroom, was greeted by a white-faced maid..
“Boo, ma'am!”
“Julie?”
The old baron was lying on the lap of his young maid, Julia, with a cut on the back of his head. He had a large crack in his neck and was bleeding profusely..
“Yes, my lord, please take a breath.!”
“……what?”
Dionea's fingertips trembled and she approached the Baron..
“Grumble, murmur-”
The Baron's hazy eyes turned to his young wife..
“Julie.”
“Yes, yes, ma'am. Should I call the priest??”
“no.”
Dionea looked down into the Baron's eyes and spoke in a calm voice..
“Go out.”
“••••••yes?”
“I'll give you a vacation. Go home and take care of the pumpkin..”
“Boo, ma’am, what is that?” The green-eyed woman quietly stroked the confused maid..
“It's a festival soon, right?.”
“ma'am.”
“It must be a bit lonely with just you three as a family. Why not invite your cousin in South Harbor??”
“What on earth are you talking about? Lord-”
The maid, who was rambling, made eye contact with Daionea and swallowed dry saliva..
“Go out.”
“Huh, huh, yes.” The maid left the bedroom with her shoulders shaking..
“Grrrr-”
While Baron Mallory was scraping the floor, Dionea stood silently for a moment and looked out the window. In the distance, I could see the hill passing over Mt. Raduil..
“••••••Phew.”
Dionea took a deep breath and knelt down next to the Baron. Then I picked up the dagger lying on the floor..
““Shh.” Pop, pop, pop..
“Off, off, off.”
The intermittent breathing noises stopped..
“Shhh.”
Dionea sat on the bed and looked out the window while stroking her lower abdomen..
It was towards the north where the cold wind blows..
