My Villains Episode 433
65. peak of spring(8)
When the sergeant returned after putting Grimmons Koval back in the cell, the Red Knight gave an order in a light tone:.
“Bring that bastard, Beok or something, and have him visit you sometimes. After finishing treatment, starting about the day after tomorrow.”
The sergeant serving as the head of the prison guard narrowed his eyebrows..
“Unnecessary accidents may occur.”
“accident? What accident? I'm afraid that old man will gamble with his grandchild's life.?”
“You're not an ordinary old man, are you? He is a monster who has been called the best swordsman in the empire since dozens of years before the commander was born..”
Phoenix smiled bitterly..
“Didn't you just see it? I felt like I would get sick if I couldn't see my grandchildren..”
The old swordsman who saw his secret skill being displayed by the red knight instantly aged by about ten years. Of course, it may be an illusion, but it seemed like the wrinkles were deepening, the shoulders were shrinking, and the waist was curved..
The sergeant was about to object again when the red knight raised his hand. As the sergeant flinched and closed his mouth, a gloved hand traced the cut between his eyebrow and cheekbone..
Even though it was just a cut, a scab has already formed. Even while his magic power was frozen and he could not use his blood energy, Phoenix's overflowing vitality showed a regeneration speed that surpassed that of humans..
“Ugh, it stings..”
The red knight frowned and looked back at the sergeant..
“Just do what you're told. Don't be annoying.”
“……I will accept it.”
The sergeant looked at the commander's thoughts and slowly opened his mouth..
“When you are done with your business, we will guide you to the ground. _99
“No, wait a minute..”
Phoenix raised his head and glanced around the cell..
“Should we interview the prisoners for a moment??”
A prison cell located halfway up the spiral staircase. A young woman and a young boy were sitting in the corner..
The boy who glanced at the stairs beyond the bars, holding his breath, whispered..
“Sister. He came up.”
“ fizzle.”
A woman with sharp eyes tried to dissuade her brother..
“Remember what I said? You can't look at it. Close your eyes.”
“Ugh.”
The boy from the Obir family believed that the red knight climbing the stairs was from the dark world. There is a legend that the family's history dates back to ancient times, and they also firmly believed in the myth that they had a celestial warrior as their founder..
So the boy closed his eyes tightly. If you make eye contact with an enemy knight and become stained with demonic energy, your wings will never grow..
“Yeah, I'm doing great. are you okay……
The woman hugged her younger brother from behind and patted his stomach. Then I suddenly took a breath..
Jeopuk- Jeopuk- Jeopuk.
Slow footsteps stopped in front of their cell..
“hi?”
“Haeup!”
The boy whose eyes were closed shook his shoulders greatly. The woman also flinched and hugged her brother closer..
“……His name was Milops, right? I can't hear you
you?”
As the Red Knight knocked on the window, the boy, Milops, began to hiccup. My sister gained courage when she saw her brother covering his mouth with his small hand..
“What are you doing?!”
“What did I do? I just wanted to talk for a moment. You can go in?”
Poynix smiled cheerfully. The woman opened her eyes and spoke as if chewing..
“no. If you come any closer-”
It's good.
The red knight had already opened the bar door with the help of a sergeant..
“Uh, what did you just say? I didn't hear you.”
After talking like that, Poynix took a chair from the soldier and sat down in the middle of the cell..
The woman bit her lip as she realized that she had never intended to ask for his understanding from the beginning..
“If you don't get out of here right now, I'll rip your stomach apart..”
“Hmm.”
The red knight scratched his eyebrows for a moment and then asked a question..
“But why are you speaking informally??”
“……what?”
“Why are you speaking informally?.”
The woman burst out laughing..
“So how should we deal with enemies of our family and school??”
“How should I deal with it? I have to bow down. In order to save the family and school,.”
“dare-”
“How dare you say the same thing.”
Phoenix sneered..
“Even old people like Grimmons are putting themselves through a lot of trouble, stuck down there just to keep an eye on their veins and swordsmanship. Why are you holding your head up like you’re so amazing??”
The young woman was ‘Tiloria’ of the Ovir family. The sister of Tantylos, a man who was considered one of the eleven sword masters and a representative of the 'Cell-seed type'..
“I will not beg for my life from my enemies..”
“Yeah, you said that. But what is your brother's crime? “Why should that little boy be put in a place where he’s not good at something?” “Speak clearly, Red Knight. You're the one who trapped us here..”
“This young lady is saying she's going to be in big trouble. Why am I imprisoning a child who has no power? I'm holding on to you because you're telling me nonsense..”
“I just decided it was safer to be with me than to be caught alone in your bloody clutches..”
Poynix clicked his tongue at Tiloria's unwavering gaze..
“The party doesn't understand what's being said... … . That's okay, I didn't come here to talk about that anyway..”
“Go away. There is nothing to talk about with the enemy..”
Since he couldn't curse or lose his temper in front of a child who must have been ten years old, the Red Knight tried his best to smile and say,.
“Well, if it's okay for a little while, why don't you shut up and listen to my suggestion? You don't lose anything by listening to a few words.?”
The young swordsman glared at him in silence. Poynix took this as a positive sign and began talking with his legs crossed..
“There are fifty or sixty people trapped here. About half of them are swordsmen and the rest are imperial knights or magicians. They are all highly skilled people..”
“It's such a waste to hold on to this kind of power. You can't starve it to death, so you have to feed it, and if someone escapes, you'll be in big trouble, so you'll also need a lot of good liver. I feel like I just want to let them go, but the situation doesn't allow that. “You know?” On the day that Eisbovald fell, the bandits slaughtered two sword masters and numerous swordsmen. The people imprisoned in this dungeon were practically a bunch of remnants of that time..
For Tilloria, who knew this, Phoenix's words felt so shameless..
“Do you feel like you just want to let go? I never thought you could say something like that..”
“Oh, really? “Then what were you imagining?” He rested his chin and smiled..
“Say it once. Let me guess how similar my next best solution is to your imagination..”
“……second best?”
“I'll give you a hint: I won't touch your brother. Because the child is innocent.”
The sight of him shrugging his shoulders with a cool smile was that of an attractive and beautiful young man. However, the atmosphere he gave off and the words he spoke were neither attractive nor beautiful..
“But what about adults? If you risk your life and show courage, you will have to pay. What is the price? tell me what you imagined.”
“Why are you silent? Some gangster made a very interesting suggestion. Should I teach you about it first??”
The red knight gently moistened his lips as he touched the wound that was now only a scar with his fingertips..
“The men were sold to pirates, and the women were sold to brothels. In a dangerous case like you, you might easily escape, so cut off all limbs and leave only the pretty body.-”
Poynix, who had been speaking slowly, caught a glimpse of the boy trembling with his ears covered and swallowed his words..
“……Of course, I don't want to do something ugly like that. You don't want to be like that either. right?”
Tilloria answered with a slightly trembling voice..
“What do you want??”
“It's very simple. I'm asking you to pay for the meal..”
“••••••price of rice?”
“‘Kobal' already paid for the meal. Hey, the old man in the basement did some hard work for me. 'Jorhiu' decided to start work after the city was stabilized to some extent. Horhiu Cathedral will become a weapons training center for soldiers..”
“……Stupid monks.”
“That's clever. Because it's better to sweat than to bleed.”
Phoenix deliberately lowered his voice..
“Swordsmen who don't belong to a particularly great school and don't have any grudges against me have already converted. Rather than rotting underground until you die, it would be better for you to be cut under me for just one year and then be released..”
There were only eight swordsmen who converted in that way. It was something he didn't need to say..
“Should we do the same??”
“that's right. There are a total of six swordsmen from your school trapped here, so only three of them come and work. No, no. He was the necromancer who used 'spirit armor' before, right? Four people including him. Then, I'll let you live, and if you perform well, I'll let you go..”
“bullshit.”
Even though her voice was trembling, she seemed very determined..
“I am the successor to the Sel-Sid and the daughter of the Ovir family. You cannot point a sword at an empire for the sake of an enemy..”
The Sel-Sid style of swordsmanship is said to have been invented during the ancient empire, and had been out of practice for hundreds of years after the fall of the ancient empire..
The two people who revived it were Tiloria's great-grandfather, who studied the literature throughout his life, and the emperor at the time, Judevik the Great, who generously supported it..
The Stampterk royal family, the family of the current emperor Ruilix II, is half-enemy with the 'Grand Duke House of Antashca', the family to which Judevik the Great belongs, but even so, Tiloria cannot point a sword at the empire. It was the thought of.
“Well then, that's a relief. Our enemies are Duke Avi Lambus and Viceroy Burcard. Not the Tergeland Empire..”
“Are you trying to make a joke now??”
“no. It's creating a hole to survive..”
“A hole to survive? under. If that's what the person who killed Tantilus sold, I'd rather jump into the fire pit..”
“……Well, do whatever you want. Yes you judge
Because it's my share.”
Thieves flying around wearing magical headgear. The Red Knight coveted them..
But I couldn't cling to someone I didn't like. Because he was so busy.
In the end, Phoenix stood up as if there was nothing he could do..
“Then, I'll take my younger brother with me first..”
“••••••what?”
“You can't leave a child in a smelly place like this..”
“No, never..”
The red knight approached with great strides. Tiloria, whose face was white, hid her younger brother behind her and lunged at him..
crackling.
The woman with a slim but well-trained body kicked the floor in the blink of an eye and threw out her fists..
It was a quick attack, but Phoenix easily dodged it by moving one step to the side. Then he swung his fist and hit her on the bridge of the nose..
““Okay,” while Tiloria was kicking her ass, the Red Knight picked up Mil Lops, who was stiff..
“OO huh ” • 9 --—'I •
The boy started shaking and sobbing. A startled Phoenics comforted the boy..
“It's okay, it's okay. Don't cry because you're not a bad person. pop.”
It was a sound that didn't even work. Milops began to cry even more sadly..
“No, Milio.-”
Phoenix was struggling and patted the child on the back, while also violently kicking the woman who was staggering forward..
Wow!
“Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe-”
Tiloria's face instantly became covered in blood. When he heard his sister's painful moans, the boy began fluttering his eyelashes..
“Ego - I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Let’s go up and eat something delicious. huh?”
The Red Knight buried the child's small head in his arms and covered the child's ears with his large hands. While soothing Milops, who was living in the same room, he looked down at Tilloria and said,.
“Whether you stay underground and wait for the last moment, or serve me for one year and save your family and school, it's up to you..”
“Milio. Give me Milio.”
“I pray you choose the latter. I don't want to turn this cute baby into an orphan..”
The young swordsman crawled and stretched out his hand, scratching the floor. The Red Knight slipped away from the hand and left the cell..
“Milio doesn't work. Only Milio,”
“Oh, that's right. and… … As the soldiers locked the cell door, Poynix smiled through the bars..
“I know that if you speak informally again the next time we meet, I will pull out all your teeth..”
“Give me back Milio. Milio!”
The Red Knight disappeared to the ground while holding the boy..
Two days later, dawn.
“Hurry up!”
“Leave before the sun rises!”
Phoenics, who was preparing to go out with about 300 troops, smiled in remorse..
“I thought you were going to send your men.”
“I have no subordinates..”
The stern-faced Tilloria was wearing a thin breastplate over leather clothes and a wide sword at her waist. In addition, the headgear with delicately embossed feather patterns was all equipment returned after being released from the dungeon..
“There are only family and colleagues.”
“Aha, yeah?”
The red knight on the bicorn looked back at her group with a smile on his face..
Standing next to the new representative of the Cell Seeds were two swordsmen from the school and a middle-aged necromancer who was said to have ties to her grandfather. They all had eyes filled with hate..
“It seems like everyone has personal feelings for me, but let's do our best. If you live hard, you will save your school and become successful... … If I'm lucky, I won't take revenge someday.?”
On behalf of those who stood silently, Tilloria twisted his mouth and answered..
“I'll keep that in mind..”
Phoenix smiled even brighter..
