Episode 45. How to win the heart of an excited person (2)
Hee hee hee!
Shortly thereafter, a man riding a horse in the dark energizes him like an electric eel, and his horse starts screaming. It seemed like he meant to die in pain.
The horse, unable to withstand the high-voltage current, fell forward in an instant, and the man riding it kicked off the saddle and jumped into the air in that short time.
Max mutters to himself at the sight of him.
“…… Could it be Fulgor?”
*
Pulgor.
He had unsuccessfully tried to occupy the Lake Earldom as the commander of the Marine Alliance not too long ago.
Upon returning to Marinene, after receiving only a small reward, his army immediately disbanded.
If he had won, he could not acquire any of the ranks or honors he would have received.
That’s how he fell back to being a fallen mercenary.
Still, since he was a sword master, there was no need to put a cobweb down his throat.
It was true, though, that I was very offended.
It was because he regretted the absurd loss of a great opportunity that a mercenary would never have.
If it hadn’t been for a ridiculous disaster like the appearance of a group of dragons, it would have been a battle that I couldn’t lose no matter how much I wanted to lose.
I was so resentful of that fact that I couldn’t sleep well.
Unfortunately, the compensation was not all.
“It was a perfect opportunity to kill the emperor.”
In fact, he was originally a slave of the Kratus Empire.
Unlike the elven slaves, who were drugged and captured, the human slaves were branded on the nape of their necks.
Instead, if caught running away, harsh beatings followed, and sometimes even loss of life.
Fulgor, too, still had a stigma on the back of his neck.
It was already quite a long time ago.
I was so hungry that I picked up a piece of bread that had fallen on the ground and ate it. Red lines were drawn all over his body from merciless whipping, and he was driven to the brink of death.
Then, luckily, he was caught by the emperor who went stealthily and managed to survive from a near-death crisis.
Lux Divinitas Kratus.
He not only gave me freedom, but also brought me to the imperial palace and took time to teach me swordsmanship even though he was busy.
He even taught me how to handle and accumulate mana in detail.
Perhaps he lacked talent, despite his not-so-young age, he grew up quickly and finally reached the rank of Sword Master.
‘It’s all thanks to His Majesty the Emperor.’
I always thought that way and whenever I had a chance I was grateful to him.
If he could, he intended to become a knight and give his life only to His Majesty the Emperor.
He was always so sure that even if he gave his soul to him, he would never regret it.
I’m sure it was.
One day five years ago, the emperor suddenly changed.
It wasn’t enough that he stabbed the knight commander, so he even trampled the loose Fulgor with his feet while holding on to his pants crotch, saying, “Please don’t do this.”
His ribs were broken and his leg bones were crushed, leaving him with serious injuries. Even with the sword master’s resilience, it took him a long time to fully recover.
I could never forget the words the emperor had uttered at that time.
– After all, he climbs all the way to the top of his head.
– A worm-like slave baby.
It must have been that moment.
All the feelings of admiration he had for the emperor quickly turned into hatred.
I always thought that the emperor gave the same grace as the river.
But that wasn’t the case.
‘…… It was just the sympathy of a high person given to a lowly person.’
Tears of blood flowed from his eyes, and a terrible sense of contempt bubbled up in his veins.
Everything I was thankful for became a lie and was stabbed into my heart like a dagger.
The emperor imprisoned the leader of the knights in a dungeon, and drove the rest of the knights out of the palace.
And Fulgor, too, had been abandoned in a state of disrepair.
Only loyal to the Emperor.
He lived with only that one thing in his heart.
To him, the emperor was his father and the sky.
So, if he were to die, he would have been willing to give up his life.
But the emperor didn’t.
He treated himself like trash and kicked him out mercilessly.
He was abandoned after being denied his loyalty by the emperor, and there was no greater disgrace in the world than that.
Now, all that was left was the desire to get revenge on the emperor who had abandoned him.
That’s why he responded to Marine’s recruitment of mercenaries, and also readily accepted the request to assassinate the emperor.
It was a nomination request.
That too was commissioned by Duke Bios, one of the six wings of the Kratus Empire, with his own hands.
He probably already knew that he was Marine’s commander. Otherwise, what could he have trusted with such a dangerous request?
Even if the words leaked out, if it was just a lie of a mercenary attached to the enemy country, there would be no problem, so he should have done it this way.
Actually, no matter what, Fulgor had no reason to reject the request.
Duke Bios promised to give you a lot of money and even the status of a noble in the future.
So he had already been to the Duchy of Bios a few days ago.
A job to pay off the emperor who abandoned him mercilessly and gain money, status, and honor.
It was the emperor’s assassination that he saw and picked mulberries.
‘The mad emperor who abandoned me. This time I will definitely kill him with my own hands!’
Just thinking about it, I couldn’t control the urgency in my heart.
Duke Bios gave me a large room at the duke’s residence and told me to rest well because he would contact me when the opportunity came.
He even let a drugged elven slave into the room.
However, upon seeing the elven slave, Fulgor was deeply skeptical.
‘Can he trust someone who does this to elves?’
Of course, I already knew the answer.
‘I don’t know when they’ll try to stab me in the back.’
Then, around this evening, people suddenly fell.
– Since the emperor has come to the dukedom, kill mice and birds without even knowing. The Imperial Knights should be made up of soldiers.
Fulgor had no choice but to run outside.
Anyway, a request is a request.
And he had a golden opportunity to kill the emperor who had dumped him like garbage.
‘The emperor has done countless evil things. More than anything, you have trampled on my allegiance. I wanted to give everything for him……. The Emperor who denied everything to me. I can never forgive that bastard.’
*
An aura that bounces into the air like static electricity.
Perhaps the man’s name was Fulgor.
About the author, it was written in quite detail in the original work.
Originally a member of the Imperial Knights, but miserably abandoned by the mad emperor.
One thing was certain, that man would grow further.
A high-voltage current that spreads in all directions.
Aura in the form of electricity was capable of ranged attacks, and as he grew up, the range increased.
Later on, it should be able to hold out for quite a while against multiple sword masters.
Therefore, there was no doubt that he was a useful person.
That’s why I really want to have it.
If I keep it in my Imperial Knights collection, it will be quite useful in many ways.
At last, Max shouted.
“Pulgor!”
Then Fulgor stood still and let out a surprised voice.
“Are you the leader?”
“Yes, it is me. How have you been?”
Max tried to temper his anger by asking how he was doing, but only a fierce voice still came out of Fulgor’s mouth.
“Where is the emperor?”
“How are you looking for His Majesty?”
“You should kill that bastard right away when the opportunity presents itself.”
It seems like there are a lot of things piled up in my heart.
“His Majesty has returned to his former self.”
Max tried to convince him, but he couldn’t get through.
“Stop that bullsh*t! The young did not pick up my stomach and did my ribs! Because of that madman, most of the knights became mercenaries overnight and wandered the continent without seeing his family. Oh! And you say that when you know how many people have died at the hands of that bastard in the past five years? If you stop me, even the captain will never forgive you.”
There is nothing better than appealing to emotions to move people’s hearts.
At the same time, if you can logically explain the truth, you will gain greater persuasion.
Of course, that was when the opponent wasn’t angry.
No matter what you say to an excited opponent, it never works.
So it was necessary to calm him down with shock therapy before talking.
I missed that point, and if I was wrong, Max could have broken his neck and died.
So you must make it incapacitated before starting a conversation.
I asked Initium, who was next to me, insinuatingly.
“Can you use recovery magic?”
“I will help whenever the owner of the secret palace wants it.”
I quickly lifted the secret bow and drew the bowstring.
There were still two feet left.
Fortunately, Fulgor was completely unnoticed.
If you see that electricity doesn’t happen, it must be clear that you aren’t using an aura.
I calmly aimed at his stomach. But since he’s a sword master, he won’t die just by getting his stomach pierced.
The moment the aim was completed.
To blame! Puck!

The protest exploded, and an invisible arrow hit Fulgor hard in the stomach.
The impact must have been quite large, and Fulgor was blown away from a distance, rolled around, and then fell helplessly.
“Your Majesty, what is this…….”
Max looked back at me with a puzzled expression.
