My Villains Episode 591
70. This side(24)
“Hey there young man! Did you come alone??”
“Come and take a look! No matter where you go on Lipi Road, there is no place like here.?”
3·4In the one-story wooden building, prostitutes were sticking their heads out of each window, enticing passers-by, and the narrow street between them was full of pimps, merchants of all kinds, errand boys, and visitors of all kinds..
In order to escape the unknown stalker, I recklessly entered the crowded street and ended up at this very place, ‘Lipiro Street’..
The new town was on the outskirts of the royal capital's many urban districts, and even in the new town, Lipiro Street was on the outskirts, directly in contact with the outer wall. This road, which extends between the southern and western city gates, was the most prosperous and at the same time the dirtiest entertainment district in the royal capital a hundred years ago, even before the city was built around it..
The buildings were rather shabby, but the roofs and exterior walls were decorated with colorful fabrics and string decorations, and rare magic lights were shining sparsely outside the neutral walls. I heard it was called the shadow of the royal capital, but it didn't seem like a dark and dirty neighborhood..
But that impression was short-lived. The closer I got to the center of the brothel, the more crowded it became, and the gap between my eyes narrowed in proportion..
“……I can't breathe.”
The street of Lipiro was filled with a terrible stench, perhaps because all the injustice and corruption of the great city had flowed into the bottom..
The smell of alcohol from drunken guests or the smell of cheap powder from prostitutes was rather fragrant. The foul smell emanating from all sorts of soldiers, including those covered in dirt and dust and dust and soldiers who must have been patrolling in heavy armor, was painful, but somehow bearable..
But the fishy, musty odor that came from all those things mixed together and stale was truly nauseating. By the time my sense of smell had adapted and the pain had eased, I entered a new alley and a slightly different odor hit my nose..
I almost missed the smell of sweat permeating through training. The students were also running and rolling around like crazy, giving off the smell of sweat, sweetness, and dirt, but it was nothing compared to this..
Has the terrible smell disturbed my vision? The street that had seemed like an unusual sight until a while ago now looked like nothing more than a dirty brothel..
In reality, Lipiro Street was nothing more than a dirty brothel. It was only natural that it was a place where people flowing downstream of a huge city called the Royal Capital indulged their lust for those below them..
High-ranking people such as nobles and priests never go to these brothels. As befits the upper class, their desires are resolved ‘neatly’. It involves making a mistress, playing around with indentured servants, or seducing commoners around you..
Of course there are exceptions. I'm sure there are some idiots who go to this dirty brothel despite all the 'clean' methods..
But I never dreamed that I, none other than myself, would run into such an idiot on the first day I came to Lipiro Street..
When I first entered the brothel, I thought about tearing my tail off by wandering around from store to store..
However, the crowds on the streets were more than expected, the beauty of the prostitutes was less than expected, and, most importantly, the stench was unimaginable. I needed to change my plans..
I decided to quickly cross the center of Lipiro Street. If you turn a few times in the process and go through the crowd, you may be able to shake off the tail..
With such expectations in mind, I was about to pass the point where the narrow alleys intersect..
“Get out of the way! Get out of the way, you bastards! Hehehe, hahahaha-!”
Shouts loud enough not to be drowned out by the commotion and laughter that seems insane..
I turned my head without realizing it, and saw some crazy guy driving the horse. In this narrow and crowded alley..
“Uh, uhh-”
“What is that??”
“Don't be stupid and avoid!”
The horse was large and had long legs, so even from a distance, you could tell it was a good breed of war horse. People walking along the narrow street were scared and scattered when they saw the large horse rushing towards them..
“Oh my gosh - get out of the way!”
“Wow!”
Riding a horse was a man and a woman..
Holding the reins was a young man sitting behind him, wearing only thin linen trousers and a shiny overcoat, leaving his upper body half exposed. The woman in the young man's arms, in front of the saddle, was not wearing any clothes at all..
“Uhhhh- Hahaha!”
The crazy guy made a sound that was confusing whether it was laughter or excitement and accelerated, and the horse accelerated even more according to the owner's will..
“Ouch-!”
“help me!”
The horse that ran so furiously hit and trampled those who were unable to escape to the side of the road or were pushed down while trying to escape. Blood flowed and screams erupted in the alley, which although a bit dark and dirty, was still full of life in its own way..
Hehehehe-
The galloping war horse stopped, raising its front paws only when it reached the human barrier blocking one side of the road. The young man laughed out loud again at the sight of passersby shouting under the large shadow cast by the horse. And he was asking the woman in his arms..
“how is it? It's pretty cool?”
“Go, Confucius. stop please.”
The naked woman whimpered and grabbed the collar of her coat. A young man with a dull complexion, as if he had been drinking a lot, asked with a puzzled expression..
“Stop it? What should I do??”
“This is what Confucius is doing now. You're hurting people..”
“What is that? You said you wanted to ride my horse right now, you.”
“No, no, Confucius. That's not what I said-”
“Oh, isn't it like this? So what is it? if… … Is it like this??”
“Ouch!”
A tall face, a healthy physique, a brave war horse, a nice coat made of thick satin, and even a shitty personality. It was clear that the young man had a noble status..
He violently grabbed the naked woman's hair, dragged her down, and began tying it to the handle of the saddle. The woman cried and struggled with her whole body, but was unable to withstand even the strength of the young man's hands..
“Look at this. This is why lowly girls are the problem. If you treat me well, they will definitely try to climb on me.?”
The young man was grumbling quietly, but a cruel smile appeared on his lips. He repeatedly wet his lips and played with his hands to tie the woman's hair into a tight knot..
“With a cheeky hand. I know who I am.”
Then he pushed the woman under the saddle..
“Ah, wow!!”
The naked woman was short compared to the war horse. So I had to step on the ground with my feet hanging halfway on the saddle handle..
“Come on, run! Let's run cool!”
The young man's foot kicked the woman and the horse one at a time. The woman, who was screaming in pain, started to be dragged away before she could take a few steps as the horse turned its head and started running again..
“…….”
I'm speechless. Why are there all these crazy people out there?.
“Here we go again. Unlucky.”
I was sitting on the landing of a building on the street, trying to avoid the screaming crowd, when suddenly I heard a voice right next to me..
When I turned my head, I saw a prostitute sitting on the terrace of the store. With a brass pipe in her mouth, she made eye contact with me and narrowed her eyes..
“……‘'Again'? I wonder if it happens often?”
“Uh, often? well.”
The nameless prostitute took a drag from her hookah and continued speaking..
“Not that often. About once a fortnight? Well, I think it only happens once every two months that I make such a big mess..”
“I do that shit once every couple of months and still feel fine.?”
“Are you okay? What is it??”
“That crazy guy. In this neighborhood... … I guess there is no such thing as a ‘guardian’?”
Suddenly, the ‘salted seafood seller’ Deogen came to mind. The gang leader who rules like a king in the back alleys of Eisbowald..
Deogen's duty is to wag his tail like a neighborhood mutt, not only to me, but also to Dillon, the commander of the Red Guard, and to Golman, who acts as my squire..
Anyway, there must be someone like Deogen in this Lipiro street as well..
“Of course there is. So what? At least put a knife in that person’s back.?”
“It may be different in each neighborhood, but isn’t it mostly solved that way??”
“What?”
The woman burst into laughter. Then he lifted up his flowing clothes and pointed his finger at me..
“I can see right away that you are talking nonsense. Is this your first time with Lippi? Or is this your first time on the royal road??”
“……Well, it hasn’t been long since I came. I came from quite far away..”
“also.”
The prostitute must have liked the answer, and with a smile on her face, she gestured to the young man who was still wandering the street below..
“That man is royalty..”
“……It's royalty?”
“uh. This is the glorious Prince Lionel. This is it..”
I opened my mouth without realizing it when the prostitute spoke in a very cheerful tone..
“It's Lionel?”
Lionel, this is a very familiar name. Because the father of Princes Zacharis and Ulkar and the previous king was Lionel III..
But there's no way that young bastard is the king who has already been dead for two years. then…….
“He, Aecharis's only son?”
“that's right. He looks just like my father?”
Aecharis, who rose from prince to king, is Zacharis' younger half-brother and close associate who holds the title of chief butler and cavalry chief and the title of court count. At the time of Lionel III's death, he was framed for being greedy for the throne and had a conflict with his brother, but it is said that he somehow managed to resolve the issue and is still holding his position..
Aecharis was the most skilled swordsman among the Zeore family at the time, and he was also a man who spread a lot of dirty rumors. According to the nameless courtesan, Lionel is just like her only child, both in swordsmanship and behavior..
“……It's really annoying.”
Even though I had collected information about the royal capital, I had no way of knowing such trivial matters, so this was my first time hearing about that crazy guy..
“Ah, it's finally over..”
After exhaling the smoke from her cigarette, the prostitute looked towards an alley and said:.
“A solution has finally appeared.”
“fixer?”
“uh. He's coming over there. I guess I'm done with the sights. I'd like to play and then go.?”
The woman was tempting me with a sweet voice, but I couldn't take my eyes off her. It was because of a person who appeared with fifteen unarmed men..
The person who appeared in plate armor was obviously a woman, judging by her face, but she was so tall that it was hard to believe that fact. Just by looking at him, he looked like he was in his late 180s, and his shoulders were that wide, so he didn't look slim at all..
“Gua de'adim.”
The woman muttered something incomprehensible in a somewhat familiar voice and then spat out phlegm. Then he walked with long strides and approached Lionel, who was still dragging the woman along the narrow street..
“Ugh, I have to touch the ground, the ground! You can't really enjoy the wind if you're being dragged around like that...?”
The war horse, which was happily running through the alley according to its owner's will, came to a sudden halt when it spotted a woman of magnificent stature. The moment Lionel turned his head with a puzzled expression, the woman grabbed him by his waist and threw him to the floor..
“Ugh, shit-”
“Time to go home, you damn Confucius..”
Seeing how he quickly twisted his body and stood on the ground even while drunk, it did not seem like an exaggeration to say that he resembled the skills of Aecharis, the ‘starving lion.’ But that wasn't my concern anymore..
“Again, is it you again? This fucking heathen bitch.”
The young man who was staggering recognized the woman and frowned. Then, like a frog in front of a snake, he approached the war horse and pulled out the long sword from the saddle..
“I will definitely correct your cocky attitude today. Insert one shot each into the upper and lower mouth.-”
Sigh!
Before Lionel could finish his dirty words, the woman's palm hit his handsome face..
“Ugh,”
When Lionel fell down with his jaw turned, the men who were waiting rushed over and helped him up..
The men, who appeared to be Aecaris' servants or private soldiers, placed the unconscious Lionel on a war horse, grabbed the prostitute who was being dragged by the horse, and the passers-by who had been hit and trampled by the horses' hooves, and scolded them with grim faces. It was a bonus that they gave me a few silver coins..
The onlookers around were the woman wearing plate armor..
“What are you looking at? Go in and eat some bread, you dirty bastards.!”
The shout that seemed to echo throughout the street made onlookers stop breathing and look away..
Meanwhile, I was looking at her blankly, and soon the woman noticed my gaze and looked this way..
Long braided reddish-brown hair just like a lion's mane, an.
“what?”
The woman with a grimly contorted face was about to yell at me again, so I quickly lowered my gaze and hid myself in the store, following the prostitute I had been talking to just a moment ago..
Fortunately, she turned around without any suspicion, and I hid myself next to the window and secretly sighed..
“……Why is he here again?.”
Her identity is Datankali Lenka..
He was the same berserker who was once the owner of the two swords that looked like twins, ‘Morning Star’ and ‘Black Ice’..
