Chapter 456
My Villains Episode 456
66. silver prince(11)
I don’t exactly remember the conversation that followed..
To put it roughly, Nashal Anwei decided to take the disciples from the palace and head to the royal capital. The purpose, of course, is to investigate what happened at the Dawn of the Dead..
Ellen decided to use this place as a base and cooperate with the Calandari Church to follow the traces of the Magi. Aktufir also remains here. They say it's an assistant, but in reality, it seems like the main role will be surveillance..
After leaving the minor agreement with Theodora and the two Grandmasters and sending them off, I locked the bedroom door..
Clap.
After putting on the small clasp and locking the lock with the embossed oak tree decoration, I turned around to see Ellen looking up at me with a shocked look on her face..
“What are you doing now??”
“To give an award.”
“……award?”
“uh. Why, I don't like it?”
“What kind of bullshit is this? what award?”
“You went out of your way to come and see me. Then I should get a prize.”
Saying that, he unfastened his sword belt and placed it on the table. As the belt with two long swords clanked and made a heavy and harsh sound, the guy shook his shoulders in shock..
“Crazy guy, what nonsense are you talking about again?.”
Ellen got up from her seat with an angry look on her face..
But it seemed like he already had a premonition of what would happen in the future. It is unmistakable to see that the skin, which is transparent enough to show the veins, has already turned red. Not only the small face exposed above the robe, but also the neck that can be held in one hand and the ears that want to be held. My mouth is watering at the sight of it blooming brighter than spring flowers..
“Hey, you- ugh!”
When I lifted her up and supported my buttocks in one go, Ellen, who was startled, pushed my face and chest..
“Stop, we're not done talking yet.!”
“what are you talking about?”
“A story about how you got dirty here and there for *profit*!”
As his resistance continued, I grabbed his slender wrists with one hand and shrugged my shoulders..
“I've never done that before?”
“That's never happened, you son of a bitch. The military, the city, and all the rumors have spread - I won't let this go.!”
As I sat down on the bed, Ellen suddenly sat on my lap. Her face turned red and she whined..
“Crazy pervert, dirty bastard! It's okay if you're just a girl?”
“No, not at all. My eyes are very high. You know.”
“I'm just going to vaguely explain it-”
I lightly bit the inside of the collarbone, and the boy made a sound of deflation and shook his shoulders. I smiled low and asked the guy who was breathing hotly and closing his eyes tightly..
“I hate it when I sleep with other women?”
“……Crazy, crazy guy. Say that now.”
“Then you should have stayed right next to me. I wouldn't have done that if you were there.”
“You kicked it out.”
“Did you do that??”
“I did.”
If I had to choose just one reason for sending Ellen back to the palace a few months ago, it was of course Daria..
Both he and I knew this very well, so neither of us bothered to say it out loud..
However, Ellen, who was struggling as if she couldn't help but recall the memories of the breakup, suddenly closed her mouth. Long eyelashes trembled pitifully..
He hugged me close to his waist, which was so thin that it didn't even fill his forearms, and gently kissed his pink lips..
“love you.”
With eyes that had suddenly become moist, the boy had become free before he knew it, and he looked down at his two hands shaking against each other in the solar plexus and pouted his lips..
“pup.”
“I said I love you.”
“Is that the answer? pup?”
Ellen cried softly and shook her head. And in a hushed voice, he whispered, ‘Me too.’.
“You too, what? You are also a dog?”
“……진짜 개새끼. I want to beat you up.”
Tears flowed down my wild eyes..
It's not always possible to captivate someone with a doll-like face, but what you're showing now also serves as great fuel..
Could it be because the fire that broke out was so fierce? Ellen's blue eyes were filled with fear, even though this was not her first experience. Normally, I would have tried my best to erase that fear, but since I too was about to be eaten by the heat, I had no time to show such consideration..
The wand that turned into a carpet, the old birch wand, the long robe with the pattern of superiority, and the crown studded with three jewels were also taken away. Despite this, Ellen's true magic power was still intact, but she could not even close her mouth properly, let alone deploying a sound-absorbing barrier. Well, no matter how powerful a wizard is, it is difficult to light even a candle without concentration of mind..
Ellen's song, which went through various pitches and volumes, ended before midnight..
And next to the irresponsible arsonist, a fire with too much heat to be called a residual fire was still burning..
Just then a vague shape seeped out of the darkness between the bedroom closet and the ceiling..
Thanks to the darkness that flowed like water, I
I was barely able to put out the flames..
The next day, I woke up to Ellen's screams..
Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
“Wow!”
When I woke up in shock, Munchie, who also woke up, glanced at Ellen with narrowed eyes..
“……Ah yes. It's noisy.”
“Why are you.”
While Ellen, wrapped in a satin blanket, was shocked, Mungchi yawned leisurely and stretched like a cat..
“What is this now??”
For a moment, the blue eyes wandered around in confusion. Ellen gasped when she saw the sight of three naked men and women, including herself, lying side by side on the bed..
“under. This is. Hey, you… … . Ha, indeed.”
“Uh, I slept well.?”
“Are you really crazy??”
“……I guess that's the case. Sometimes my mind goes crazy.”
While I was talking nonsense like that, the bundle that was rubbing my eyes said, ‘It’s cold. “Sleep more-” he whined and dug into his armpit..
“......Wow.”
In that scene, Ellen erased the absurdity and replaced it with anger. And just as the blue eyes were about to shine.
Bang bang bang!
After a rather rough knock, an urgent voice was heard from beyond the bedroom door..
“lily! Did you cough?!”
“……Confire?”
“Yes, it is me! There is an urgent message from Froshafen.!”
“Urgent news? In Froshaven?”
Shii covered the boy's bare back with a blanket, and Ellen, startled, hurriedly reached around the bedside and picked up some clothes..
I slightly opened the door, wearing only my pants, and there was a soldier with an unfamiliar face who looked like a messenger and a veteran consignor with several privates standing in front of the bedroom..
“What's going on??”
“On the western border of Angst,”
Confire, who was approaching the door unable to hide his impatience, stopped in shock when he noticed my bare feet and bare torso. And as if he guessed the situation in the bedroom, he cleared his throat, took a few steps back, and made a report..
“Hmm, they say we arrived at the station..”
“What has arrived??”
“The emperor's army, sir..”
Confior that naturally adjusts facial expressions
added with a serious face.
“The emperor of the Mittergerand Empire has arrived.
It is.”
He quickly opened a military conference and shared the news from the port city of Proshafen..
After assessing the situation, it seemed that not all of the large army raised by the emperor had entered Angst..
It is said that the estimated number of troops is approximately 7,000 to 9,000, but I thought that only the advance guard arrived, excluding the main corps and the logistics corps..
Of course, it would be better than having an entire army of 40,000 come rushing in, but for our army, which had lost its strength due to the battle with the electors, even an advance force of nearly 10,000 was a daunting opponent..
“First of all, we need to control the spread of rumors..”
Hayla, who had stayed up all night at the Permanent Court to understand the situation in Eisbowald and deal with several urgent issues, was the first to speak out..
“If news spreads that the emperor is just around the corner, nobles and wealthy people may attempt an uprising..”
“You don't have to worry about that, lady..”
Fritz yawned and proudly boasted of his accomplishments..
“Yesterday I put away all the blades. Moreover, since we have caught all the cubs that are confused as to whether they are species or bugoks, they will not dare to raise them..”
As expected, pony-haired Fritz brutally crushed the city's influential people yesterday..
Weapons hidden in nobles' mansions, merchant houses, union offices, etc. were searched for and confiscated. Also, in the process, he made more than 30 people who were essentially private soldiers, including servants, servants, and workers, who resisted at a level that exceeded the limit, into half-soldiers..
In fact, it was nothing short of tyranny, but since a fearsome enemy was lurking just around the corner, the danger within could not be ignored..
Haley would have known that situation well, but she shook her head with her characteristic expressionless face..
“Their true power isn't their weapons or soldiers. What an impact it has on the city. Based on that influence, if the emperor's arrival is used as an opportunity to instigate ordinary citizens, ordinary citizens will also move..”
“As for the commoners, there will be very few of them who can arm themselves because the Lord has already declared it..”
“The nickname of Eisbowald is ‘City of Swords.’ Even if Foy banned carrying weapons, there would be at least a knife hidden under the bed or deep in the closet. And, even if there are no weapons, that doesn't mean an uprising isn't dangerous..”
“By the way, the young lady is worried... … . Even if there are idiots who use rusty knives and clubs as weapons, I can handle them all by myself..”
I listened intently to what the two said in turn, scratched my eyebrows and held up Hayla's hand..
“No matter what, you can't point a sword at civilians. Don’t you know our prince’s nickname? 'Champion of the weak'’?”
“••••••Wow.”
Fritz openly pretended to vomit, but no one pointed out..
Among those who attended the military ceremony, three of the higher-ranking ones - Count Aeneas, Baron Rujan, and Atalanta - could hardly be called Prince Ulcar's direct subordinates, while others - Commander Harold and Mercenary Captain Grania Dong - appeared in front of me. I wasn't careless enough to raise my voice..
So I had to personally punish my subordinate..
“Did you just say wow? Wow?”
“What? Did I do that on purpose? It's childish and makes me nauseous. What should I do?!”
As the seventh knight of the Silver Prince, he inserted a fist-sized iron inkwell into Fritz's philtrum and then turned to Heyla..
“So what is needed to prevent the rumor that the emperor has arrived - no, to prevent an uprising??”
“case history.”
It was a concise and obvious answer. Well, what else is needed to control the city right now other than troops?.
At that time, Chief of Staff Fogan, who was sitting next to the 'young Naga' Count Aeneas, opened his mouth with an embarrassed expression..
“As I'll tell you in advance, Abiden's army, including Milgrester, has no strength left. Eisbowald is a small city with a population of nearly six thousand. It is difficult to maintain security with just over seven hundred troops..”
Grania, the ‘shield maiden’ who was silently standing in the corner, also quickly opened her mouth. His tone was polite, as if he was conscious of the gaze of other nobles..
“Our mercenary unit also has no time to spare. Although Altzenberg's slaves behave well, it is impossible to manage 3,000 prisoners while performing other duties at the same time..”
‘‘......ugh ”
O •
I scratched my eyebrows in frustration..
We are in a situation where we need to squeeze out as many troops as possible right now, but there are too many things to tie up here and there..
In the end, I was in charge of controlling rumors, that is, hunting down the people who gathered and whispered in bars, back alleys, and the backyards of abandoned mansions..
There was no choice, the only other options were Harold, the commander of Ulcar's direct infantry, and Atalanta, who leads the Nudein tribe..
The infantry under Ulkar's direct command was too elite and had too much of a strong identity as a citizen of the kingdom, making it unsuitable for dealing with the people of the empire. The Nudein people, it goes without saying..
Well, even though I was in charge, it didn't mean I had to run and solve the problem myself. If you entrust about 40 privates to Eson, who has a good personality, he will take care of it..
As we continued our military strategy and moved our units around, we squeezed out as much as we could, and the number of troops that could be produced from Ice Bobalt was only about 600..
Some of those who participated in the military plan suggested using Altenburg's pagan slave corps and magic corps. Of course, he kept his mouth shut when asked if he could handle Utequai's wrath..
“……Fuck. I don't think there's really an answer to this..”
By the time I reached that conclusion after a couple of hours of meetings,.
Prince Ulkar, who swept the eastern border areas of the empire, including Bulfurt, and completed the occupation of the Obdorf region, arrived at Eisbowald with his royal cavalry..
