A Stuffed Cheonma in my Head - Chapter 10



Only Noblemtl

Episode 10. I told you to run away.

* * *

I noticed as soon as I entered the dark restaurant, even though it was broad daylight.

This guy has no intention of killing me now.

So that’s why they created such a scary atmosphere.

The ominous murderous aura emanating from the knights hiding in the darkness oppressed me.

If you really wanted to kill me here, you would have just dispelled the darkness and created a comfortable and safe atmosphere.

The assassin tries to hide his life as much as possible before killing his target.

Instead of just spewing life energy at the target.

I guess he’s worried about me killing Gustav’s gang.

Because there were two users, including Gustave, who gave me the sword.

As I thought about it that way, I completely forgot about being stabbed and decided to speak and act even more extravagantly to see what kind of person the Baron was.

Crunch, rustle.

The toad spoke to me as he cut the meat.

“How is the food to your taste?”

I stabbed the sliced ​​meat with my knife and looked at it from all sides as I replied.

“Well, I don’t know. I haven’t tried it.”

“Why aren’t you eating?”

I didn’t answer and just stared at the toad across from me.

Then the toad laughed loudly and said,

“Don’t worry. It’s not poisonous.”

I didn’t really believe it when they said toads weren’t poisonous.

I continued to stare at the toad without saying anything.

The toad said as he put the meat he had cut into his mouth.

“If you’re really worried, why don’t you feed it to my knights here?”

“Ah, that’s a great idea.”

I slapped my forehead and looked around the dark restaurant.

“Lord Kale. Where did our Lord Kale go?”

“… … .”

No answer came.

“Huh? Where did our Lord Kale go? Did he go to take a dump? I can’t go anywhere without our Lord Kale.”

When there was still no answer, the lord, unable to bear it any longer, spoke.

“Keel Sir.”

A small voice was heard from a dark corner.

“… … Here it is.”

I looked at him with a big smile.

“Ah, our Lord Kale. There you are!”

“… … .”

“Our Kale Sir. He’s a shy guy, more than he looks. Come and have a bite.”

I smiled and waved.

Kale came up next to me and glared at me with a pretended scary look.

Since my lord was respectful, he couldn’t speak to me informally like he did before.

“Lord Ashvan. I swear on my honor that there is no poison, so you can drink it with confidence.”

I answered with a bewildered face.

“No, isn’t that something a person with honor would say?”

As Kale’s face distorted, the lord smiled faintly.

Kale closed his eyes tightly and spoke again, as if trying to suppress his anger.

“There is no poison. Our lord is not that kind of person.”

“How can I believe that? Lord Kale, try to think from your perspective. When you have a treasure that everyone wants, you are burdened with an unimaginable amount of burden. You worry that a passing drop will attack you.”

“… … .”

“My heart sinks just from seeing the leaves fall. Does Sir Kale know how I feel?”

Kale squinted his eyes and glared at me.

“… … It doesn’t look like it.”

“But really, what can I do about something like that?”

Kale kept talking about something, as if she really didn’t want to be my exclusive court lady.

“Your Majesty Ashvan. I understand, but if you continue to do so, it will be rude to our lord— um.”

I poked the steak into Kale’s mouth and said, “Eight.”

I felt proud when I saw Kale’s expression as if he was going to kill me.

I asked with a grin.

“How does it taste, Sir Kale?”

“… …It’s delicious.”

Kale glared at me as if he was going to kill me.

“Then come in now.”

“……yes.”

The toad watching the scene burst into laughter.

“Haha, I don’t know when you became so close to Sir Kale.”

“Well, that’s what happened. I’m the kind of person who has a lot of affection.”

“I heard that Lord Kale was rude to Lord Ashvan, but fortunately it seems that things have been resolved.”

… … How shameless.

I cut the steak and put it in my mouth, giving a vague nod.

“That’s what I’m saying.”

The toad, who had been smiling kindly, asked.

“But Lord Ashvan. May I ask what your last name is?”

“Last name? None.”

The bastard’s expression hardened.

“… … Are you talking about commoners?”

I smiled and asked back.

“Why, you can’t do that? You’re acting like it’s some big mistake. Are you offended because I’m a commoner? Should I kneel down and apologize? Does your majesty not want to do business with commoners? Oh, I suddenly lost my appetite.”

I put down the fork and knife I was holding.

“Ha… … Haha. This guy. When did I do that?”

The toad quickly calmed me down by controlling his expression. Then he quickly changed the subject.

But I clearly remember the glances that passed by in an instant, usually looking at ‘lowly things’.

“So, you want to sell the dagger of Oposis?”

I nodded.

“okay.”

The toad spoke cautiously.

“Since a transaction is based on mutual trust, we need to check once… … .”

Without hearing any more, I took out the dagger from my bosom and showed it to him.

“Oh… oh… … !”

The toad stared at the dagger, leaning his upper body over the table, oblivious to the food staining his clothes.

The greed that gleamed in his eyes was disgusting.

“Okay?”

I put the dagger back in my bosom.

The toad seemed to come to its senses only then, and coughed in vain as it sat back down on the chair.

“Ahem. This is definitely the real dagger of Oposis.”

“yes.”

I answered, munching on my steak.

The toad asked, rubbing his palms like a fly.

“So, how much do you want?”

I answered with a frown.

“Look here, Your Highness.”

“… …Your Highness the Baron?”

“You’re going to vomit. How can you do business when you’re so impatient? If that’s the case, why did you ask to eat? You can just negotiate the price without even seeing each other’s faces. When you’re eating, you talk about everyday things that have nothing to do with business. Huh? You say things you don’t mean, and you say things that are just on the tip of your tongue. Why are you being so reckless?”

For a moment, his expression became distorted into a frightening one, as if he wanted to kill the insignificant commoner in front of him, but he tried to control his expression and smiled as if nothing had happened.

The toad answered, wiping his sweat with a handkerchief.

“Ah, ahaha. That’s right. I guess I was a little impatient. Eat comfortably.”

“… … Tsk.”

After that, stories unrelated to the transaction began to exchange little by little.

Most of the time, they would come up to me and start talking about this and that, and I would just respond appropriately.

As time passed and the mood became more relaxed, I asked in a casual tone while munching on my steak.

“How come the people of Yeongji follow our lord so well?”

The toad chuckled.

“You mean those lowly things? They are so stupid that they can’t even get along. If you talk to them, they won’t listen.”

The guy was talking excitedly.

It seemed like he had already forgotten that I was a commoner.

“Last day, there was someone who didn’t come to work because he was not feeling well. So, as an example, I had the knights beat him to death in front of everyone. Then, from the next day on, no one missed a single one. Phew.”

“Ah… … Really?”

I think I’ve heard enough.

I wiped my mouth roughly on the white tablecloth and then said.

“Then let’s talk about work now.”

The Baron cleared his throat, straightened his clothes, and asked seriously.

“How much do you want?”

“A thousand gold.”

“… … A thousand gold? That’s a bit… … .”

“If we were only looking for the legacy of Oposis, that amount would be ridiculous.”

“But, it’s not easy to find. There must be many people targeting it.”

“Don’t hate me.”

As I stood up without thinking, the Baron spoke hastily.

“Oh, no. A thousand gold. Alright. But it’s a lot of money, so I’ll need time to raise it… … .”

“how much?”

I asked while standing up.

The Baron said, blushing.

“If you stay in your room and rest, I will try to get the money as soon as possible.”

“okay.”

I nodded and left the restaurant.

“I ate well.”

As I walked towards the door, a strange tingle tickled the back of my head.

I never liked noble guys.

Because nine out of ten were disabled.

And this time, there was no exception.

* * *

Before I knew it, the sun had set and spiders were crawling outside the window.

A thousand gold is not a small sum, but it does not mean it will take this long for the lord of a single fiefdom.

It’s obvious what they’re doing.

You’re going to stall for time and then kill me and take me away at the right time.

dripping.

At that moment, a knock was heard.

The door opened and a group of women carrying tables of alcohol came rushing in.

“what?”

They greeted me politely, and then one of them spoke on behalf of the group.

“The lord said it would take a little more time to prepare the money. He said it would be ready by tomorrow morning at the latest, so please wait a little longer.”

I clicked my tongue in displeasure.

“Oh my. I shouldn’t have kept my promises like this.”

“It’s getting late, so it would be difficult to set out now. You can rest until tomorrow morning and then leave. I have been ordered to do my best to make you happy. I hope you will accept it happily… … .”

They bowed their heads once again.

I locked eyes with Claire, who was in the back row.

Her eyes seemed to say this.

‘I told you to run away.’

I just laughed.

‘Master.’

[What is it?]

‘Can you blow off some steam?’

[Easy.]

After hearing the general tips from Cheonma, I smiled brightly and said to the women who were watching me.

“Hahaha, then I guess there’s nothing I can do. I guess I’ll have a drink after a long time.”

* * *

“Who is that?”

“I had a drink and fell asleep.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. I drank ten bottles of wine. There’s no way I’m okay.”

The Baron was suspicious of Ashvan, so he did not add any drugs to his drink.

But once the deal was done, he seemed to have drank it without any hesitation, whether it was because he was relieved or because he simply liked alcohol.

“You ate ten bottles?”

The woman nodded to the baron’s question.

“Yes. I’m completely stretched out. I’m sleeping soundly, even snoring.”

The Baron nodded to his men.

“Check it out.”

At the Baron’s command, Cale carefully put his ear to the door.

The Baron of Barranquilla still remembered that impertinent behavior of his.

How dare a lowly commoner like you sit at the same table as a noble.

That’s not all.

When I heard those arrogant words, I wanted to rip his mouth open right away.

Even now, when I think about the things he used to say without even knowing the topic, I feel like a thousand fires are burning inside me.

But that was only for a moment, as a sinister smile appeared on the Baron of Barranquilla’s lips.

“Hoohoohoo. The legacy of Oposus is mine.”

If I had that dagger, I would become the richest man in the world.

And there was a man who had just as much resentment toward Ashvan as the Baron.

Cale, who had been listening to the question, nodded at the Baron.

It meant that he was definitely asleep.

The Baron said with a deep smile on his lips.

“Okay, let’s begin.”

“yes!”

At the Baron’s command, Cale opened the door as quietly as possible.

As I opened the door, a strong smell of alcohol wafted out.

Sure enough, he was lying on his bed, snoring loudly.

The knights who confirmed it secretly entered the room, led by Kale.

Sling-

Kale checked Ashvan’s face in the dim moonlight and raised his sword above his head.

A murderous look crossed his face.

“Goodbye.”

Wedge – Crunch!

He split the bed in half with his black Ashvan’s neck.

“Did you get hurt?”

Kale nodded at the Baron’s question.

“Yes. I definitely cut off his neck.”

“Then find the dagger!”

Kale immediately started to rummage through Ashvan’s body.

“He doesn’t have any!”

The corner of the Baron’s mouth twisted.

“This guy is acting cute. He must be in the room. Find him!”

“yes!”

While the Baron’s knights searched frantically through the room for the dagger, Claire watched the scene with sad eyes from outside the door.

Despite the warning, the man, who had many wounds, ended up dying.

It was the moment when I was about to leave the door with a bitter face.

Drumroll.

“……huh?”

Claire looked absentmindedly at the place where the sound came from.

Ashvan’s severed head rolled around, and his eyes opened wide.

“Gyaaaah!”

Claire screamed and then fainted.

“What, what is it!”

As the startled baron and knights looked at Claire with bewildered faces, a ghostly laughter was heard from somewhere.

“Hehehehe.”

“… … !”

Everyone in the room giggled and turned their heads to look at one place.

“Heh heh heh… Heh hah hah… Heh hah hah hah!”

Ashvan’s severed head was laughing madly.
