My Villains Episode 542
68. To the capital(15)
The trading post owned by Count Milgrester occupied the most prestigious location within the port area of Froshafen..
There was an anchorage in the back, so a small dock was built where cargo barges could be parked, and in front was a point where a flagstone road intersected, so more than 30% of the entire logistics of the port had to pass through this place..
Across the road, a private yard was spread out wide, so full of all kinds of products that you couldn't even see the wooden boards on the floor. The distance from the yard bustling with guards hired by the Milgrester family to the loading facility with three cranes seemed to be less than 100 meters at most..
It was an amazing location, but in return, you had to endure the odor and noise unique to the dockside. The hospitality hall located deep inside the trading post building was no exception..
“……I apologize, sir..”
Could it be that I misunderstood the thick fishy smell and the furrowed brow due to the noisy noise? The Fogan sitting across from me kept looking at me..
As he is a close advisor to the great lord and the boss of the Milgrester Trading Company, he is a big man in his own right, but I don't really get that feeling because he always shows a very polite demeanor in front of me. This is why people cannot use just being humble..
“The apology is okay, please explain the situation properly..”
It was the car that had just revealed the outlines of the trip to the royal capital and requested support from the Milgrester family. Contrary to what I expected, Fogan looked very cautious and seemed to be withholding an answer..
It was an unexpected reaction, so I was a little embarrassed, but I didn't feel very unpleasant. Because I know that the Fogans, and indeed the Milgresters, are neither foolish nor so generous as to refuse my request without any reason..
“……As you know, my lord is currently studying in the royal capital..”
He continued his explanation in a cautious manner..
“It's been two years at most, and he'll be back next year at the latest, but the anxiety felt by the people is high as the owner of Jinju Shrine has left Coluju..”
The floating city of Coluz is the capital of the Abidden region and the birthplace and home of the Milgrester family. The Jinju throne is the seat of the lord in the palace of the Counts of Coluze..
I asked with a sour face.
“……Why are you suddenly bringing up the topic of Youngmin? When did I tell you to conscript the serfs and release them??”
“Sir, what I am saying is,”
“Just give me information and find a way. Why can't I do that without a seventeen-year-old count? Well, the remaining vassals in Coluge are all in a vegetable state.?”
Despite the cold sarcasm, Fogan remained calm..
“Loyal vassals such as Lord Ecbert and Lord Slanwith are filling the vacant positions. However, it is impossible to fully represent the lord with just a few knights..”
“The words are getting longer again. So what's the point??”
“……For these reasons, Viscount Cyril Lo is currently in Coluges..”
“Viscount Cirillo?”
It is the residence of Count Aeneas, and is a noble commander who fought with an army during the Kalman War..
I thought of Viscount Cyril and tilted my head..
“Why is that goblin-looking guy? He said he was going to usurp his young nephew while he was away.?”
“Could it be possible?.”
Fogan shook his head resolutely..
“My lord, you are Milgrester's only enemy, and you have gained absolute authority through the last war. Even if Viscount Cirillo harbors a happy heart, the Jinju Seat will not be in danger as long as there are numerous vassals..”
“Then what's the problem??”
“that is……
He hesitated for a moment, then wet his lips and confessed his worries..
“If Viscount Cyril were to tip off to the king, trouble would arise..”
“ push?”
“Didn't the Patriarch of El Ganor send you a letter of excommunication? Moreover, since His Excellency declared Prince Ulkar's revenge and Princess Yuril's salvation, Zacharis has been busy monitoring the movements of the old Silver Prince Army..”
“ Q......”
......•
“Our company, Milgrester, is already under royal surveillance due to our business in this area. In this situation, if it becomes known that His Excellency has been brought into the territory, it is certain that there will be a big scandal. Maybe you will be treated as a traitor or a traitor..”
“Then Viscount Cirillo……
“He is a very greedy person. Might take advantage of this situation.”
My headaches are slowly starting to hurt. I quietly scratched my eyebrows and organized my thoughts..
“Are you going to offer my nephew and me to the king at once? To occupy the throne?”
“As a vassal of Milgrester, I think it is just unfounded news, but it is not entirely possible..”
“……Okay. I know roughly what the situation is..”
Viscount Cirillo was also a comrade who fought together during the Blademan War, but he did not seem to be very trustworthy. I also often heard very credible rumors that he repeatedly betrayed the landowners and local magistrates under him..
“It looks like the Viscount plays a pretty important role in the collage.?”
“Well, not really. Since you have the position of being the lord's party leader and a high title, your voice becomes louder than the authority you have..”
“Anyway, you have to avoid that bastard's eyes and ears... … . Damn, I decided on a route to Aviden with the intention of getting help, but now that I see it, I'll be lucky if I don't get in the way..”
“I apologize, sir..”
I had a taste for bitterness..
The bigger problem is that this is not just about Count Aeneas and the Milgrester family. I was planning to head to the royal capital and get help from friendly lords all over the kingdom, but somehow they all seem to be in a similar situation..
When I first heard that Zacharis was trying to invite small lords, heirs, and noble children from all over the kingdom to the capital, I thought he would do something crazy. But seeing as my affairs are being messed up like this, it seems that calling in hostages wasn't just a reckless act..
“……Phew, fuck.”
When I first came up with the plan in Icebovald, it seemed like everything would go smoothly without any problems, but now that things are happening right in front of me, shit is everywhere..
Fogan shrugged his shoulders as I sighed and cursed out of frustration..
“Oh, of course - you can take our liner to cross the Bay of Blades. We won't disappoint you, but we will provide you with various support while passing through Abidden..”
“Well, it can't be helped. That's the situation... … . And anyway, the most important thing was the liner tomorrow. Secretly crossing the edge of a sword.”
“If that's the case, don't worry at all. We have prepared the most reliable captain and crew..”
“Oh, and. Please give me a guide to guide me along the quiet path to the Marva region..”
“All right. As expected, prepare as someone with a heavy mouth..”
It was a pity that he could not receive the full support of the Count Milgrester, but he could not turn back after coming this far for that reason..
I will finalize the details with the Fogans and then trade.
left the cow.
The Cell-Sid Ryu, who had the legend of the swordsmanship of the Elyos, had a simple and linear swordsmanship that did not live up to their fancy title..
In fact, it's awkward to even call it swordsmanship. I've never seen anyone among the Sel-seed type of swordsmen use 'sword'. This is because everyone uses heavy weapons such as large axes and wide curved swords..
It was not completely incomprehensible for them to use heavy weapons..
Swordsmen of the Cell-Sid style fly freely using the school's unique magic tool called the 'Wing Crown'. Instead of taking steps on the ground, you can show off complex 3D maneuvers, so there's no need to be complicated with weapons..
The Cell Seed style is that flying is enough to be flashy, and strong martial arts skills are enough. Well, it's a somewhat understandable story..
On the other hand, even though the Cell-Sid Ryu was a martial art created with the assumption of flight, it was not a half-baked martial art that was useless while on the ground..
“Ah-ah!”
20The spirit of a woman who had invested over a year in training was so great that it made the open-air courtyard resound..
Tiloria, who had rolled on the ground once due to my throw, bounced back with enthusiasm and swung the broad-bladed sword..
Saeng-
A flash of light crossed the air, accompanied by a vibration sound that sounded like a giant wasp flapping its wings..
I blocked the attack with the heavy one-handed sword, 'Saint's Destruction'. No, I just pretended to be my wife, but then I slowly delayed the timing and leaned my upper body back..
joy!
As soon as the sharp tip of the sword grazed my hair, it struck me like a thunderbolt. Before Tilloria even realized that she had missed her target, the heavy blade of the one-handed sword stuck to the back of the curved sword..
I just put strength on my wrist.
kakaga-
As a swordsman who was on the verge of becoming a master, Tilloria noticed the situation, albeit belatedly, and attempted to withdraw his sword. However, my one-handed sword was already tightly entangled with the back of the curved sword..
“Sigh, class-”
Tiloria gritted her teeth and retreated, but as I twisted the tangled blade more strongly, the power of the sword soon loosened..
king.'
As soon as the curved sword was thrown away, Tilloria shouted in anger..
“In Asuberg, swords are not used like that.!”
“……okay? So let's say Ludo is a more practical swordsman..”
“Ha, that's ridiculous. They say you have to imitate Asuberg's swordsman, so shouldn't you have the basics first??”
“Look at my skills. If you hold it roughly and swing it, that's the basics..”
“under……
Tilloria shook her head with an expression that said, ‘Why are you such arrogant bastards?’.
However, even in the meantime, I can see a hint of hostility in the eyes directed at me.
There was none. This was also one of my achievements over the past two years..
