Episode 1342. Don’t do something I’ll have to see again
Marquis Theo Stauren took Count Elio Lagoa’s question with ridicule.
For a moment, I started to cry, but I held it in with superhuman patience and answered with a calm face.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. There is nothing more accurate than the research of Imperial Military Intelligence. The Scorpion Company raided the site where gold and silver treasures were being leaked to the enemy country, and the person who interrupted it was Count Lagoa and his party. Count Lagoa even went so far as to annihilate the Scorpion Company on a mission.”
“ah! I didn’t know that robbery was a mission of the Imperial Army. “I salute the father’s tearful efforts to glorify the death of his son who was beaten to death while committing robbery.”
“Unfortunately, the only person in the empire who thinks that way is Lord Lagoa. History will remember the Scorpion Company as ‘the poor Imperial soldiers who were killed by the Grand Master of the Pro-Confederation of Southern Kingdoms during the war.’”
Marquis Theo Stauren did not lose a word.
Elio burst into laughter at the marquis’s childlike attitude.
His face was so solemn that it was difficult to tell just by looking at his expression whether he was sincere or just saying it to disapprove.
The smile on Elio’s lips grew even deeper.
“Marquis Theo.”
“My name is Theo Stauren. “If you really want to call me that, please call me Staurun.”
Theo is the first name and Stauran is the last name.
And it is polite not to call people by their first names unless you are close to them.
So Marquis Theo Stauren immediately pointed out the title of Count Elio Lagoa.
But Elio had no intention of doing so.
“Okay, Marquis Theo. “Star blah” is so long that it doesn’t stick in my mouth.”
“Call me the Marquis of Stauren.”
Marquis Theo Stauren also stubbornly sharpened his blade.
Chief of Staff Viscount Kurt Wartner looked at the Marquis and Count with a puzzled expression.
I thought, ‘That’s rude!’ I wanted to yell, but my opponent was the Grand Master, so I couldn’t speak.
That was the same for the other staff members lined up to the left and right of the Marquis.
If it were any other time, I would have grabbed him by the collar right away.
However, his opponent is a Grand Master who is rumored to be stronger than the demon lords.
They were afraid to even make eye contact unless they were holding a magic gun loaded with Exitium in their hands, so everyone just watched the situation with stern faces.
“Anyway, that’s not important. To me, Marquis Theo. There are several techniques to get you to tell the truth. It’s like ‘splitting tendons and misaligning bones’ or casting mental magic. I am completely satisfied with the effect. Pretending not to know even though you know? That doesn’t happen. He even reveals the secret desires in his heart. how is it? Marquis Theo. Shall I try it here? “Did you say such bullshit because you really didn’t know, or did you do it to embarrass me even though you knew?”
“… … .”
For a moment, the conference room fell silent.
Are you willing to use torture and mind magic on Marquis Theo Stauren, the Crown Prince’s closest confidant and commander of the Iron Legion?
Viscount Kurt Wartner, unable to bear it any longer, shouted.
“Count Lagoa! That’s an overstatement! Even if Count Lagoa is the Grand Master! “You can’t do that to the Captain of the Iron Legion!”
Elio then turned his attention to the staff.
“Your name?”
“This is Viscount Kurt Wartner, Chief of Staff of the Iron Legion.”
“Did you hear what the Marquis said a little while ago? History will remember the Scorpion Company as ‘the poor Imperial soldiers who were killed by the Grand Master of the Pro-Confederation of Southern Kingdoms during the war.’”
“… … I heard.”
“If you were the Chief of Staff, you would have gathered information and reported it to our Marquis Theo. Tell me. Did Marquis Theo say such an idiot because he didn’t know the truth? Or are you doing this to blame me even though you know it?”
“… … .”
Chief of Staff Kurt Wartner glared at Count Elio Lagoa.
No matter what I chose, I couldn’t say anything because it would be insulting to the Marquis.
It was Marquis Theo Stauren who saved the chief of staff in trouble.
“It’s nice to be a Grand Master. They said they would use torture and mental magic on the Marquis as well. I will never condone what happened today… … .”
“Shut up.”
Elio simply interrupted the Marquis.
I had been suppressing my anger earlier and it felt like my body was going to explode.
The chief of staff and his staff did not even make a sound as Count Elio Lagoa’s tone became fierce.
Even Marquis Theo Stauren was wary of Count Elio Lagoa.
“I heard it directly from the Marquis’ son, the Scorpion company commander. They say they plundered a village near Peromuros and killed all the residents. When I asked him how many times he did it, he said he couldn’t even count after ten times. So I killed him. If the dead man had been a company commander other than the Marquis’s son, you wouldn’t have bitten me. is not it?”
Marquis Theo Stauren, who listened through gritted teeth, answered.
“You say it is plunder, but it is requisition. His Majesty the Crown Prince, commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, ordered local conscription. In the process, they killed a company of imperial troops just because they destroyed several enemy villages! “This is a major provocation against His Majesty the Crown Prince, Commander-in-Chief, and the Empire!”
“Can I interpret this as a confession that I knew what my son did?”
“Yes, I knew! Killing a company of imperial troops just because they eliminated an enemy village during a war! And then you can still be called the count of the empire!”
“What’s so great about being an Imperial Count? “Do you know that your ancestors were marquis from birth?”
“… … .”
“The Marquis, the Crown Prince, are ostentatious. shit. Your ancestors were also poorly clothed and starving people at first. Somehow, our ancestors got to where they are now after receiving the ‘Blessing of Mana’. “Except for the ‘Blessing of Mana,’ what are you different from the people living near Peromuros who were murdered?”
Marquis Theo Stauren was shocked by the vulgar Count Lagoa’s swearing.
They say he comes from a wild tribe in the north, but he is truly a low-class person.
If nothing else, I couldn’t bear to equate the imperial marquis with the inhabitants of an enemy country.
“No nobles of the empire will agree with what you say. This is because the ‘Blessing of Mana’ is the proof of the chosen ones.”
“It is true that Mana Prass chose you. But that’s not because you’re special. You were simply chosen to fight the evil Shaitin on behalf of Manapthras. So stop talking as if you are the only humans and everyone else is dogs and pigs. To put it to the extreme, you are just mercenaries. “I received the ‘blessing of mana’ instead of money.”
“Now you’re going beyond treason and even making blasphemous remarks.”
“That’s it. “You know what your son did, so you won’t ‘split tendons and dislocate bones’ or cast mental magic on him.”
“It’s not a deadly crime to eliminate a few villages in the process of legal requisition.”
“Wow, fuck. I want to open my head and see. There is a level of shamelessness. “Are you trying to dramatize your son’s crime in front of witnesses to your advantage?”
“Adaptation? You must not be mistaken. I’m just saying that in the Londinium Empire it’s not a deadly sin. Rather, your treasonous remarks and blasphemy are greater sins.”
“okay. Let’s leave out the treason. Are you saying you are returning the imperial earl? Why do you keep calling me treason when I have nothing to do with the empire? If you don’t have anything to say, please call me ‘hostile’ from now on. From now on, I will say that I gave up my imperial title because of you. “You know what that means, right?”
Marquis Theo Stauren was shocked when Count Lagoa blamed everything on him.
However, the crown prince had already decided to deal with him, so he did not refute it.
Rather, he decided to go one step further and formalize the return of the title.
“Do you have the courage to do that? “If I give up the title of Imperial Count now, I’ll be in trouble.”
“Hey, I can hear you chatting all the way up here. Yeah, you’re the one with the head. That’s right. “Can I return my title certificate?”
Elio took out the title certificate of Imperial Count from Mahadam and placed it on the table.
The Marquis and his staff, who already knew he was a magic swordsman, did not blink.
Marquis Theo Stauren glanced at the Chief of Staff, and the Chief of Staff quickly took the title certificate.
Finally, Marquis Theo Stauren spoke in a calm tone.
“I will notify you when His Majesty the Emperor’s approval runs out.”
The Marquis muttered to himself, ‘If only I were still alive by then.’
That’s how the conversation ended.
Elio stood up and suddenly made eye contact with the Marquis.
“I’ll tell you in advance. I’m not interested in the direction of this funny war. That’s why I’m telling you, if you touch me, you will meet the son who went before you.”
“Keep that in mind.”
Elio shook his head at Marquis Theo Stauren’s calm reaction.
There are people who shed tears when they see the coffin.
Fabian told him to be gentle, so he put up with it, and he tried to act like a marquis.
“Everyone lives their own way. I’m leaving. Please, don’t make something happen that I’ll have to see again. “I don’t kill people because I like it.”
Marquis Theo Stauren showed no interest as if it were someone else’s business.
When even the final warning didn’t work, Elio shrugged his shoulders and turned around.
As he left, Marquis Theo Stauren violently overturned the table.
Cradangtang—!
The staff members who were standing there looked at the Marquis’ complexion with white faces.
Marquis Theo Stauren spoke strongly to Vice Commander Batalion.
“Tell this to the field commander. “Take action as soon as he returns to Minos.”
“yes!”
Battalion’s vice commander, Viscount Krano Vanek, lowered his posture in front of the Marquis’ anger.
The words, ‘Let’s leave it to the on-site commander’s judgment’ lingered in my mouth and melted away.
***
Eastern Peromuros.
Minos.
Elio, who left the Iron Legion, returned to Minos’ chalet (a mountain lodge in the south) that very day.
After finishing dinner alone, he went for a night walk in a lonely mood.
I felt empty without Fabian, who followed me around and chatted.
This is why it is said that ‘people cannot live alone’.
As I walked as far as I could, the mountain range where I had been training with Fabian spread out before my eyes.
This is where Fabian died in my dream last night.
Even though it didn’t actually happen, it’s heartbreaking as if it were real.
It seems like it is the future experienced through physical pain.
An exhaled breath flowed from his mouth.
“ha.”
This world is a mess.
Demons treat humans as livestock, and nobles regard commoners as dogs and pigs.
The world of gods is not easy either.
Manaptras, known as the creator god, is actually the invader, and the evil god Shaitin is the creator.
Humans are caught up in the war between the gods, but only a few people know it.
Suddenly a strange thought occurred to me.
‘Wait a minute, if this happens, can I say that Shaitin, the evil god, used Cheonjama (Kama Devias) and Geumsa (Ushas Undra), and Mana Ptras used me?’
So, would it be too much of a leap to think that, like Ushas Undra, he too – as a result – acts as a ‘vanguard of chaos’?
At that time, red rays of light flew through the night air.
Squirt! Wedge—!
