“……If you say it's business?”
“I said I came here to avenge my people. I guess I already forgot?”
I smiled awkwardly and scratched my eyebrows..
“hmm. Most of the wolves died, and Dai Wolf and Bicorn were captured by us and reduced to livestock. Isn’t this enough revenge??”
“Nonsense. Life must be paid with life..”
The boy lord Lu Yan continued speaking with a twisted smile..
“Moreover, the life of a monster is lighter than that of a person, so even if you tear them to pieces, you may not be able to appease the vengeful spirits. But, are you telling me to go back empty-handed?” Utequai, who had been listening to the story in his sleep, took a step forward on behalf of me who was at a loss for words..
“Young lord, you have no right to demand wolves and monsters..”
“……Ha, what?”
Lu Yan's eyes became sharper, but Ute Kwai only looked down at him with a bitter smile..
“Do the people want revenge? Then all we had to do was hunt around. “There is no reason for us to accomplish for you what you were unable to accomplish due to your lack of ability.” “Stop that bullshit, you barbarian.” When the boy lord stood up, talking as if he was chewing, the soldiers' eyes changed completely..
“I chased those monsters for three days and nights, and after ambushing them for another four days, I was on the verge of killing them. But you showed up at the last moment and took away all the prey. Is this kind of shit allowed even in your hometown??”
“If this is your hunting ground, then you are right. But this is not your hunting ground. Moreover, you have not been able to put even an arrow into the game.” There was an unknown warmth in Utequai's eyes as he looked at the boy lord, but his next words were extremely cold..
“So make no mistake, young lord. you have no rights.”
“This ignorant savage dares to argue about any safety..”
“If you want revenge, take it away. Risking my life.”
“profit••••••
Lu Yan couldn't help but shake his fist..
I had to be quite nervous about the boy lord's anger, and the reason was because of a barrel stuck in his waist. I could feel a faint mana in the wooden product with a lid, reminiscent of a pottery box..
There was no doubt that it contained something magical-related. This is just a guess on my part, but it looks like a container for storing magic scrolls or something..
Meanwhile, the soldiers, perhaps infected by the lord's anger, were also holding their weapons with angry eyes. However, the momentum of Utequai with his arms crossed was so strong that no one was able to make a rash move..
He was holding a crossbow that could knock down a wild boar in an instant, but he may have sensed that it was useless against the Utequai..
Tootong.
Veteran Conwyer tapped his shield and glanced behind him. My men naturally withdrew and gathered between the small pond and the thick beech trees..
The mysterious confrontation ended with a loud shout..
“Stop, everyone stop!” It was the voice of Sir Xavier, a knight from the Golden Age, who appeared behind Baron Lujan's soldiers..
“……Is it Gyeonggi again??”
Lu Yan glared at the middle-aged knight without hiding his annoyance. Sir Javier pushed up his headgear and looked at the boy lord with an expressionless face..
“yes. Here I go again, Baron..”
“The Count is nowhere to be seen..”
“Supervising the siege from outside the forest..”
Supervising the siege. I guess he saw the wolves running in all directions and let them out of the forest just in case..
“Rest assured, Baron. Since the Count is not here, I will not dare to disturb the hierarchy..”
“……joy. Good thing.”
“ but••••••
Sir Xavier walked through Rujan's soldiers and approached the boy lord. Even though 100 heavily armed men were radiating ferocious energy, the middle-aged knight looked relaxed as if he was taking a walk in the backyard..
“On behalf of His Excellency the Marquis of Eavon, I would like to invite the Baron to Piol..”
“……me? No, before that. How dare a knight act on behalf of the Marquis?‘?”
“For nearly a hundred years, since my great-grandfather's time, my family has served the Arriaga family. The Marquis is kind and merciful, and does not reprimand the Emperor for handing over an invitation on his behalf..”
“Ha, really? “But I don’t know if he’ll want to see me.” “If you had known about this situation, you would have called the Baron..”
“this situation?”
Lord Swallow smiled deeply..
“This is a situation where the young lord, who had not even had a coming-of-age ceremony, left the territory with his troops. The Marquis cares for and loves all of his subjects, so he will definitely be interested in the Baron's outings..”
“Additionally, the Baron is looking for revenge on that monster, no... … The Marquis will also punish those who request ‘possessions’..”
Ruyan glared at Sir Xavier for a long time and then nodded..
“……Okay, okay. egg plant. We will leave as soon as the soldiers are ready..”
“no, you don't have to.”
“There's no need for that?”
“Sir Phoenix will be in charge of the Baron's guard..”
“……what?”
yes? It's me?
As Lujan's gaze turned to me, Lord Zeveer asked me a question with a grinning face..
“This may be difficult, Lord Phoenics.?”
“uh… … . Well, since it only adds one person, it wouldn't be particularly difficult.-”
“Indeed, thank you. I will definitely report to His Excellency the Marquis that I am indebted to him..”
The boy lord tried to say something with burning eyes, but eventually swallowed his words. I realized that if I spoke rashly now, it could be seen as distrust or disobedience to the Marquis of Eavon..
In the end, Lu Yan left his soldiers behind and left the forest. He joined us alone and headed to Piol..
The bicorn quietly followed my touch while I raised the saddle and put on the gag. He's become so docile that I wonder if he's the same guy who was teasing me just now..
It was a little confusing because it alternated between violent and gentle sides, but if you continue to pay attention and manage it, it will become a good fighting horse.
It seemed like.
Meanwhile, Utequai mounted the direwolf using a thick rope as a leash..
Is he strong enough to match someone as big as a bear? Even after carrying a weight of 180 kg, the giant wolf did not seem to have slowed down much..
Also, as expected, a stick is medicine for a crazy dog, and he has already become a gentle dog no matter how long it has been since we met. The fur was furry and looked a bit cute if you took out its size..
For some reason, the direwolf and the bicorn growled at each other, baring their teeth, but fortunately neither of them were able to shake off the control of the Utequoi and me and go on a rampage..
Heyla's favorite horse, Eltonidze, was left in the care of Conwyer for a while, and Spotted Tooth was given to Mungchi..
Surprisingly, Munggi's horseback riding skills were good. Every time I got on a horse, he rode in front of me as if he was naturally good at it. Was he hiding that talent?.
The guard of the boy lord Lujan was entrusted to dervishes and Gidon. It would have been more convenient for him to just be escorted by commoner soldiers, rather than stick around with me and cause an argument..
Just to make it clear, I didn't beat my subordinates because I was too busy taming the bicorn. really.
So we returned to the city, leaving the aftermath of the hunt to Piol's garrison and the 'Angry Donkey Mercenaries'..
After a noisy night of hunting, we arrived at the marquis' villa just as the long, quiet dawn was approaching..
Count Os, his guards, and my men each returned to their lodgings, tired, and the boy lord Ruyan, who had been silent the entire time, was also assigned a room and disappeared..
On the other hand, Utequai and I were busy training our respective demon beasts in the stable..
What are you doing when you're not sleeping??
I got a cool ride, but I'm having trouble sleeping.?
And since we both have strong bodies, staying up all night wasn't a hardship..
It smelled like it was a bicorn running around in the wild, so I decided to wash it first. I'm sorry, but please ask the guard to wake up the stable keeper and take his assistant.
Although the Anthem region is said to be warm, it was winter, so we lit a fire and used warm water from the kitchen to bathe..
I sprayed water everywhere to wash off the dust and lathered the body with the soap I got from Modos and cleaned it, and the bicorn seemed satisfied and continued to do a low blow job..
After wiping the water off well, I placed it in a newly-covered stable with litter and groomed its fur. The black mane with a subtle purple tinge had a nice shine after just a few brushings. Did you become tired later?,
The bicorn dozed off while standing, then laid down next to me and fell asleep..
It was only long after the sun rose that I heard that the Marquis of Éavon and his wife had left their bedroom. They say that as you get older, you get less sleep in the morning, but the Marquis doesn't seem to have any of that..
As soon as breakfast was over and I was about to receive a message from the Marquis that he would like to hear about the events of the night before, Hayla appeared..
““Uh, did you sleep well?” She entered the stable wearing a fur robe over a thin shirt and blinked rapidly when she saw me, Utequai, and the two beasts..
“……It's a bicorn. why is this here?”
Her expression was the same, but she was obviously surprised, so I smiled and explained what happened last night..
Hayla, who learned the full story of what happened, quietly looked at Bicorn and opened her mouth..
“……It's cool, but I'm going to tame it.?”
“uh. why?”
“ It's a monster.”
“What is that? Was it the Dragon Knights of Mittergerand? They say you ride a wyvern there, but there's a reason you can't ride a bicorn.?”
« O ” ugh.
“……Uh, there is?”
Hayla nodded resolutely..
“The Dragon Knights communicate with Wyverns through body heat from the time they are hatched, and later receive help from En Vision. It's not about taming a random monster like you..”
“Um, still……
I scratched my eyebrows and pointed at the sleeping bicorn..
“Look how gentle the kid is. Even when I put on the reins and saddle, he stayed calm..”
Hayla remained silent with her arms crossed..
“…… Uh, Heyla?” After standing there for a moment, emitting a heavy atmosphere that was difficult to describe, she slowly parted her lips and spoke as if sighing..
“……okay. It's not something you can't understand. It is said that Blood King Zahak also enjoyed riding a bicorn..”
“Zahak rode around on a bicorn? really?”
“I don't know if it's true. It was told only as a story, not as a record..”
Heyla and my ancestor, Blood King Zahak, was active hundreds of years ago. The records about him were something between history and legend, so no matter what story was told, there would be no way to verify its authenticity..
“Maybe it's another power latent in our bloodline..”
“The power latent in bloodline?”
“Blood magic isn't the only thing we inherited from the Blood King..”
Hayla muttered something incomprehensible and approached the sleeping Bicorn..
Her eyes as she looked down at the bicorn were full of wariness about monsters, but there was also a subtle hint of curiosity and admiration..
Although it was a monster or a horse, in the end, Bicorn was a huge horse with a mysterious appearance. Hayla loved horseback riding just as much as Poynix, no, even more so, so it was natural for her to admire him..
“hmm. He's a pretty gentle guy, but be careful just in case.-”
Before I finished speaking, Bicorn, who I thought was sound asleep, suddenly opened his eyes..
Crying!
The bastard spotted Hayla slowly reaching for his neck and lunged at him, baring his long fangs..
“Tsk！”
“Damn it,”
He pulled her back in surprise and at the same time blocked the bicorn and put his hand into its mouth..
Kkageuk, Kkagakak.
The excited bastard gritted his teeth, but he couldn't break through Death King's scaly handcuffs..
“stop!”
Before the bicorn could run any further, I kicked its leg and knocked it to the side. At the same time, I punched him in the nose..
Hehehe!
Bicorn, taken aback by the sudden pain, fell and struggled. In that gap, he pushed Hayla back and grabbed the guy's horns and pressed them down..
“Calm down, calm down!”
I almost threw my body at him to stop him, and Bai Con, who had been running wild for a while, smelled my body scent and quickly regained his composure..
“Ugh. It's been crazy since morning, it's been crazy. are you okay?”
Hayla, who was standing awkwardly with both fists clenched, lowered her hands and nodded when I asked her question..
“Yeah, it's okay. *sigh* It's okay.”
She was already far away from the stables, but her eyes were still focused on Bicorn..
“This guy is so fierce. I have to be careful until I get used to people..”
As if she couldn't hear me, she looked at Bicorn with an almost glaring look..
Perhaps sensing that gaze, the bicorn growled again, baring its teeth, and Hayla took a few steps back with her shoulders slightly slumped..
……If it looked somewhat glum, was it my imagination?.
