A Stuffed Cheonma in my Head - Chapter 114



Only Noblemtl

Episode 114. It really hits.

* * *

Sir Ashley asked in a stiff tone.

“The knights who were supposed to participate in the final battle have disappeared? What do you mean? Explain.”

“yes.”

Walpole explained diligently.

After hearing the explanation, Sir Ashley quickly ran out of the room.

“This is crazy!”

“… … .”

I stared blankly at the door she had just left through and tried to organize what I had heard.

“therefore…….”

Walpole had previously explained the contingent.

Each side will have 10 knights participating.

1. The prince’s side didn’t bother to remember the names because they were all names they had heard for the first time. It seemed like more than twenty people had recited them, which means there were a lot of talented people.

On the Black Prince’s side, the Red-Eyed Demon, Sir Ashley, the Knight Commander of the Starvanger Knights, Sir Boksil, the Wandering Knight, Sir Smith and Sir Max of the Black Tiger Knights, and five other knights were said to be participating.

I heard that those five were famous, skilled, and trustworthy knights that the Black Prince had recruited in advance, and that they had arrived here in advance and were waiting in preparation for the decisive battle.

But, those five people disappeared without a trace.

It just evaporated like dust without leaving behind even a single clue.

Hostages held under the pretext of personal protection, and various complicated safety devices that I was unaware of.

It was the moment when all the hard work the Black Prince had done, with dark circles under his eyes, became in vain.

Even though I sacrificed my sleep time to prepare for the final battle tomorrow,

A situation where, the day before a decisive battle where ten people were supposed to participate, half of the members suddenly became vacant.

Boom! Boom!

“Fuck! Fuck! You snake-like bastard. What the hell have you done? What have you done to make all the knights disappear!”

… … The Black Prince was so sick that he could not stand it.

The Black Prince, unable to control his anger, kicked the chair next to him.

Walpole muttered.

“Oh, it’s my chair… … .”

As if that didn’t appease his anger, the Black Prince looked for something to throw, but when he couldn’t find anything, he threw his own hand against the wall.

That means he was beating the innocent wall with his fists.

“Eww!”

The black knights who were watching stopped him.

“My lord, my lord… … !”

“Don’t touch me! That’s an order!”

The black knights who were trying to stop the black prince from harming himself flinched back at the black prince’s chilling rebuke.

Then, he soon noticed me and gave me an earnest look.

One time, he glared at me as if he was going to kill me for touching the Black Prince.

In this situation, I was the only one who could help, so I was flooded with requests for help.

“… … Tsk.”

Even without their earnest gaze, it was hard to bear to see the abomination, so I strode towards the Black Prince, who had anger management issues.

Then I caught his fist as he was advancing bravely towards the wall.

Tub.

“Didn’t I tell you not to touch it!”

The Black Prince, full of rage, suddenly turned towards me and flinched back.

“Hey, what a surprise. When did you come?”

I looked at the Black Prince with the most pitiful look in my eyes.

“Our prince. You are acting like a bastard. What a disgrace you are putting on in front of your subordinates.”

The Black Prince muttered, grumbling.

“… … That damn country bumpkin. What a murderous look in his eyes.”

“what?”

The Black Prince slapped my hand away, took out a handkerchief, and wiped his bleeding fist.

I clicked my tongue at the sight.

“Oh my, you ugly brat. You’re so cute, I want to beat you up. Why are you hitting an innocent wall? What will change if you do that?”

“Shut up.”

But I’m not the type of person to listen to everything straight away.

“You pathetic bastard. Your fists are pitiful. They’re not attached to your useless body to hit a good wall.”

“… … .”

“Do you think anyone wouldn’t be embarrassed? Just think about my position, seeing you acting like this right after coming back from a nice walk with a pretty girl. You’d better hit me. Me.”

The Black Prince swung his fist as soon as I finished speaking.

puck!

I opened my eyes wide after getting hit in the face by the Black Prince.

“No, this kid really hits.”

I told you to hit me though.

No matter what, I couldn’t lose, so I kicked the bastard in the stomach.

“Ugh!”

The Black Prince fell over with a thud and hit his back against the wall.

Sir Smith, a large black knight who was always with the Black Prince, seemed flustered and stopped me, perhaps because he thought this was excessive suppression.

“Devil! What are you doing!”

I didn’t answer and just stared at the Black Prince, who was sitting there leaning against the wall in silence.

Is this what it feels like to subdue a raging beast?

The bastard laughed, his head down and his shoulders shaking.

“Kekekeke… … .”

I said while looking at the Black Prince laughing like an idiot.

“Are you coming to your senses now?”

“……okay.”

I held out my hand, and the Black Prince grabbed my arm and stood up.

“You’ve shown your idiot side enough, so now you need to show your leader side too. How can someone always be idiot-like?”

The Black Prince nodded heavily in acknowledgement.

“… … You’re right. The ‘why’ isn’t important anymore.”

I received his follow-up remarks.

“Now the ‘how’ is important.”

The Black Prince took a deep breath and glared at me.

“The smell of blood is strong. What have you done now?”

“It’s unfair.”

“what.”

“This time it was self-defense.”

The Black Prince shook his head and muttered in despair.

“Yeah. Now that it’s come to this, what’s wrong with you causing a fuss? Thanks for coming back safely, country bumpkin! Hahaha! Hahahaha!”

The Black Prince laughed like he had lost his mind.

‘… … crazy guy.’

Cheonma chuckled.

[There was a reason why the meat was so good.]

The Black Prince, who had been laughing like a madman, soon stopped laughing.

“Phew… … .”

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.

While the Black Prince was lost in thought, I also did some thinking.

I had a gut feeling that the events of today were related to this situation.

A group of assassins trained to deal with strong individuals.

A royal knight who appeared at a delicate timing.

Those bastards who are easily caught and taken away.

‘… … These kids, no way?’

At this moment, the Black Prince opened his eyes and called out the name.

“Sir Harry, Lord Manderson, and Lord Kensington.”

“yes!”

The knights whose names were called came forward.

“You will go instead.”

“I obey your orders!”

In this way, three of the five vacant positions were filled.

I asked the Black Prince.

“What about the other two?”

The Black Prince called out to someone who was quietly reading a book at one end of a long desk that seemed to be used for meetings.

“count.”

The count raised his head.

“Did you call?”

This guy is also quite something.

While the lord was going crazy, throwing things here and there and eventually throwing his fists at the wall, he was calmly reading a book.

It was as if they had no doubt that they would win the decisive battle tomorrow, no matter what happened.

Where does your confidence come from?

… … Me?

The Black Prince said to the Count.

“You come forward.”

“… … .”

The count stared blankly at the Black Prince and closed his book.

“I have been retired for a long time.”

The Black Prince spoke in an earnest tone.

“……count.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Please help me.”

“… … .”

The count looked at the black prince blankly and sighed.

“… … I understand. Now that you mention it, I can’t help it.”

“Thank you. I will leave the remaining empty spot to you.”

The count looked around the room, which was now a mess, and stopped his gaze on one person.

“Lord Walpole.”

“yes?”

“Let’s go out together.”

“… …Me?”

The count smiled gently.

“You don’t like it?”

Walpole answered with a chewed face.

“……no.”

In this way, the ten knights who would participate in the final battle were finally formed.

* * *

“ha…….”

“… … .”

“Phew… … . Ahh… … .”

“The ground is going to collapse.”

I am walking down the hall with the majestic Lord Walpole, now one of the ten glorious knights.

The destination was a restaurant.

It was because chicken skewers alone weren’t enough.

Walpole sighed again and led me into the dining room.

“Your Majesty Ashvan. I wonder if I’ll die tomorrow if I keep doing this.”

“That’s a joke.”

It’s true that I’m lacking compared to Commander Ashley or the Royal Knights I met today.

I never thought Walpole was weak.

How can you say he’s weak when he’s so good at handling Aura at that age?

It was not an empty promise to hold up the hope of the Knights of Starvanger.

But Walpole looked like a condemned man being dragged to execution.

The hopes of our Starvanger Knights seemed to have been momentarily dashed, so I tried to cheer him up in a solemn tone.

“A shining star of the Order of Starvanger, a rising rookie, a genius among geniuses, an idol to many, a master guide, a man with a natural talent for finding directions. That is Sir Walpole of the Order of Starvanger.”

“… … .”

“Sir Walpole, you can do it. Let’s go and defeat the First Prince together tomorrow. If you’re going to die, kill just one of them. Or you can aim for Donggwijin.”

Walpole looked at me once… … .

“Whew…….”

I let out an even longer sigh.

‘Huh? This isn’t working?’

[Will it work?]

It seemed as if Walpole was sighing more frequently.

I asked Lord Walpole, who was sighing deeply, to get his attention.

“Lord Walpole.”

“……yes.”

“Is there any good news?”

“There is good news. The bad news is so big that it overshadows everything else.”

“What is it?”

As we were talking, we arrived at the restaurant before we knew it.

Walpole said, opening the restaurant door.

“Linda and Muyeonggoedo succeeded in sneaking into the Prince’s quarters and poisoning the knights’ meals. Three knights who were about to participate in the final battle were poisoned.”

Inside the restaurant, Shushuruta and Linda were sitting at their tables, their mouths full of food.

I wondered where these guys had gone, and they were busily eating.

Linda, who had found me, shouted with her mouth full of food.

“Devil! You did everything I told you to do! You did well!”

The contents of my mouth fell out.

Shushuruta, who was sitting across from her, scolded Linda with a frown.

“What the hell are you doing! Close your mouth and eat. If you want to talk, eat and talk.”

“Yeah.”

Linda, who was in a state of confusion, clenched her mouth with both hands and groaned loudly.

It seemed like he was trying to quickly swallow the food in his mouth in order to speak to me.

Shushuruta, who had scolded Linda, crossed his arms and glanced at me before reporting.

“As Walpole said, the mission was successfully completed. Linda detected the poison in the meal, and soon caught the spy who had sneaked in here. From there, we found out where the first prince was staying, infiltrated, poisoned him, and returned after confirming that three knights were poisoned. Of course, we were not caught.”

“oh.”

It was an unexpected achievement.

I didn’t expect much, but it looks like these guys put in a lot of effort during our walk.

“Now that we have a clue, there is a high probability that there will be no more addicts. Instead, the three addicted knights will definitely not come out tomorrow.”

So, it’s not like we didn’t have any results either.

That’s because the damage was so great.

The result of a fierce battle.

The Black Prince’s side succeeded in excluding three knights from the battle, and the First Prince’s side succeeded in excluding five knights from the battle.

It was heart-warming to see the princes who would become kings of a country fighting so pettily behind each other.

I nodded and congratulated the guys on their performance.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“You’ve worked hard. While you were leisurely enjoying the festival, we… … Wait a minute. Isn’t that the smell of blood? Where did you come from fighting again?”

“It was self-defense.”

“That’s really well done. Fighting at a festival. Was the festival a fight festival?”

“… … .”

I listened to Shushuruta’s nagging while eating.

“Devil! You know, you know. I was talking about earlier… … .”

Linda swallowed all her food and started talking excitedly about what had happened that day.

I couldn’t concentrate on my meal because they kept shooting at me from both sides.

‘… … I guess I’ll do it.’

Still, I was hungry, so I stuffed food into my mouth.

“Are you eating right now? You really… … .”

“Devil, I’ve developed a new poison… … .”

… … I was so happy and alert while eating.
