Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1462



Only Noblemtl

Episode 1462. The little ball Harvey shot.

“Wow!”

“Clap! Clap! Clap!”

When Erica Noble appeared, the young nobles cheered and applauded.

For a moment, a pleased smile appeared on the lips of the show’s planner, Allen Boucher.

The Northern Kingdoms’ Alliance gathered in Hierhera has no decision-making body.

When a problem arose, the king and his commanders would meet and decide in a meeting.

Even then, the topic is limited to the war with the demons.

Cultural exchange and trade between kingdoms were not even a topic of discussion in the first place.

There was no opportunity to do something like that.

Given these circumstances, the performances of the Bardos were entirely in the hands of performance planners and the aristocracy who loved culture and the arts.

The victory celebration concert at the newly refurbished Victorian Tavern is a historic performance planned by himself and Viscount Stema Griff.

Some may say, ‘Isn’t Bardos’ performance just about the same?’

In less-stricken kingdoms, performances must have already been held several times.

Because concert planners and Bardos also need to make a living.

But there is a fundamental difference between such a place and Hirge.

That is, Hierhera is the center of the north.

It would remain in that position until the Northern Kingdoms’ alliance was disbanded.

In addition, many kings and nobles have gathered in Hirhera.

One performance in Hierhera is better than wandering the kingdom for ten years.

While the other performance planners and Vardos were safely moving to the rear, he persuaded the Vardos he was with and advanced to Hirhera.

And the first fruit obtained was the ‘Northern Kingdoms Allied Forces Victory Celebration Performance’.

Now Allen was happier than ever.

If he can successfully complete the next few days of performances, he will become the most famous show promoter in the Northern Kingdom.

Allen, who had been full of dreams and hopes for a long time, frowned.

‘Huh? Why Mr. Harvey?’

Harvey Griff, the eldest son of Count Stema Griff, was advancing towards the stage.

I thought he might give me a bouquet of flowers before the performance, but Harvey’s expression was solemn, like a knight charging towards his death.

‘What is it? Why is it like that?’

Before the performance, the bouquet of flowers was delivered by the person himself.

That’s why it was difficult to understand Harvey’s sudden actions, despite his usually well-mannered nature.

The harpist’s slender fingers gently caressed the harp’s strings.

Sharara and―.

The beautiful harp’s melodies spread throughout the room.

Just as the intro was over and Erica was about to start singing, Sadal woke up.

Harvey suddenly stopped in front of Count Elio Lagoa.

Erica was embarrassed, but she pretended not to see and tried to sing.

But in the end, her mouth did not open.

Because Harvey bent over and shouted loudly at Count Lagoa.

“Your Excellency Count Lagoa! I love Miss Erica! Please don’t take Miss Erica away from me!”

It was a rather tragic line that did not suit the sweet melody of the harp.

At that moment, Fabian spit out the beer he was holding with a ‘Pfft!’

The harpist, who noticed something strange too late, quickly stopped playing.

An eerie silence enveloped the room.

The royal family and the great nobles looked at Count Lagoa and the young knight alternately with strange gazes.

Not only was there no sound of breathing, but not a single person even blinked an eye.

Harvey continued, as if he thought that wasn’t enough.

“Your Majesty, there are many beautiful women around you… … but for me, there is only one Erika. So please… … .”

Before he could finish speaking, Erica spoke.

“Mr. Harvey, what are you talking about, interrupting my performance? And what is the relationship between me and Mr. Harvey that you are saying such things to Count Lagoa? No, more than that, I don’t understand why Count Lagoa should listen to such nonsense from Mr. Harvey.”

Then, Erica’s gaze turned to Count Lagoa.

“Count Lagoa, please forgive Mr. Harvey’s rudeness. There seems to have been some misunderstanding… … .”

Harvey interrupted her before she could finish speaking.

“You’re saying that Erica and I have nothing to do? Didn’t you know that I loved Erica? Didn’t you meet me over and over again even though you knew? If you didn’t like me, you should have refused to meet me. However, Erica knew my heart and continued to meet me. Until Count Lagoa showed up, Erica accepted my heart. Erica, face reality. To Count Lagoa, Erica is just a charming Vardos who passes by. Do you really think Count Lagoa will accept Erica as his wife? The person who will stay by Erica’s side for the rest of his life is me, Harvey.”

Erica’s mouth fell open in shock and shock at Harvey’s words.

How can you interpret that as the fact that you met with me several times because you were the eldest son of a sponsor and could not bring yourself to refuse me!

She later reproached herself, saying, ‘I shouldn’t have met Count Griff even if it made things awkward for him.’

She reflexively examined Count Lagoa’s complexion.

I was worried that Count Lagoa might take his words as fact, but surprisingly, his expression was calm, as if he was listening to someone else’s story.

At that moment, a bell was heard ringing from afar.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding―!

Seeing the bell ringing repeatedly, it seemed like some defense line had been breached.

Some nobles quietly left, but the great nobles remained silent.

There is no need to worry, as the power of the Northern Kingdom is concentrated in Hierhera.

Elio, who was looking around the inside of the tavern, said coldly.

“I guess you’ve been sightseeing somewhere.”

The nobles who had been watching the situation got up and rushed outside.

Even the nobles got up from their seats one by one, as if they were afraid.

“It seems like an emergency, so I should go.”

“Your Majesty, I think we must hurry.”

“Surely not, you’re not a demon.”

The royal family and the nobles quickly disappeared, saying things that would not even make sense.

All the nobles left, leaving only Elio, Javi, and Erica inside.

Elio, who had been staring at Harvey silently, said.

“You said Harvey? I’ve heard your idiotic words. You’ve insulted me in front of the nobles of the North. With just a few words, you’ve turned me into a ‘shameless man who’s after Bardos’.”

“I just… … .”

But Elio didn’t give Harvey a chance to change.

“Shut up, you punk!”

Harvey shrugged his shoulders in surprise at Count Lagoa’s rebuke.

“Before you attacked me and Erica in front of the nobles, you should have checked first. Whether Erica and I are really dating, and what Erica thinks of you.”

“… … .”

Harvey exclaimed, ‘Oops!’ at Count Lagoa’s remark.

Now that I think about it, I skipped the most important thing, ‘fact-checking’, and started from scratch.

What if, as Count Lagoa said, there was nothing between them?

He ends up becoming a man so delusional that he is literally trying to die.

Harvey suddenly found himself speechless even if he had ten mouths and lowered his head.

Elio spoke to Erica this time.

“Miss Erica, can you explain to this fool why you did that to him?”

In fact, Elio didn’t hate Harvey enough to want to kill him, even though he cursed at him.

Anyway, I have no interest in worldly fame.

The only reason he was upset was because Harvey was talking nonsense about other people.

In an instant, he became a great nobleman who flaunted his womanizing, and Ms. Erica became a slut who was played around by him.

It didn’t matter to me, but Erica-san was sure that it would interfere with her activities.

Erica let out a long sigh and said with a sorrowful face.

“Mr. Harvey, as you said, I knew how you felt. However, because I was supported by Viscount Griff… … it was difficult for me to refuse a date request from you, the son of my sponsor. That’s why I tried to keep my distance, but did you, Mr. Harvey, not get to know my feelings at all? I’m asking because I’m really curious. If it seemed like I accepted Mr. Harvey’s feelings, then it was definitely my fault.”

Harvey felt despair at Erica’s reproachful words.

Of course, I had a vague feeling about it, but hearing it directly in front of the man I considered my rival made me feel like I could die from extreme shame.

He asked, as if trying to confirm with the last of his strength.

“Then you, Miss Erica, have no relationship with Count Lagoa? There are no feelings between you two, so I was the only one who went crazy and acted wild?”

At that moment, Erica bit her lip and said.

“I have never forgotten Count Lagoa since I first met him six years ago… Count Lagoa is the driving force behind my songs. I think of him every time I sing a song about love or separation. But I am the only one who does this, and Count Lagoa has never opened his heart to me. Isn’t that right? Count Lagoa?”

At the sudden confession, Harvey, Fabian, and Howard all looked at Count Lagoa with surprised eyes.

The small ball Harvey shot sent ripples through Erica.

Fabian, who knew that Count Lagoa was hurt, winked at Count Lagoa.

‘Please accept it.’

Who is Erica Noble?

Although she is called ‘Erika of the Beautiful Voice’, her appearance is more beautiful than her voice.

She is the number 0 Bardos that the great nobles want to take as their second wife.

Of course, it was lacking compared to Count Lagoa’s social status, but it was still acceptable for someone like Erica.

Harvey’s face became so pale that it was difficult to look at him.

This was because it was not only rude, but it was also tantamount to committing an ill-mannered act on my own.

Harvey staggered, his legs giving out, but no one paid him any attention.

Harvey’s eyes were burning hot, but he gritted his teeth and held it back.

What a miserable situation worse than death!

I would rather die by the hands of Count Lagoa than experience this feeling.

Then, it may be remembered that he was killed in a love triangle.

Thinking about it like that, I started to laugh out loud.

Fabian, who noticed him smiling belatedly, said coldly.

“Are you laughing? This kid? If you look closely, you seem to have lost your mind, Arthur. You don’t want to throw shit water on Count Lagoa and wish for him to die a nice death, do you?”

Only then did Harvey realize what kind of situation he had gotten himself into.

This time, a chill came over me.

Elio said as Harvey went back and forth between the cold and hot water.

“Miss Erica, I appreciate your consideration, but I cannot accept it.”

“Why? I can be content with being Count Lagoa’s second wife.”

“Hmm. Why didn’t Erica accept Harvey’s feelings?”

“That’s because Count Lagoa was already in my heart.”

“That’s a clear answer. I’m the same way. I can’t accept Erica because there’s someone else in my heart.”

“… … .”

Erica wanted to say, “I’d like a second wife too,” but she couldn’t bring herself to say it.

Erica, who had been biting her lips endlessly, left the stage in loneliness.

Elio’s gaze turned to Harvey.

“Harvey.”

“……yes.”

Harvey, who saw the conversation between Count Lagoa and Erica, did not beg for her life.

Large tears fell from Harvey’s eyes as he gave up on life.

Elio said, his heart weakening at the sight of that.

“Your rashness deserves death, but I will not kill you. As atonement, become Baron Fabian’s squire for ten years.”

“……yes?”

“You want me to keep such a crippled man as my squire? Count Lagoa, why are you doing this to me?”

Harvey, who thought he had misheard and asked again, was finally able to feel relieved when he heard Fabian’s scream.

Because ‘wanting to die’ and ‘really dying’ are completely different issues.

As Fabian glared at Harvey, priests in white robes entered.

Priests are in a tavern?

An old priest with a white beard walked slowly towards Elio and his group, who were looking puzzled.
