My Fiancee Was the Villainess of This World - My Fiancee Was the Villainess of This World chapter 101

101 – Holy Kingdom (3)

People screaming that they were monsters were born from all directions.

Every time that happened, loud screams began to echo throughout the Holy Kingdom along with the sound of something exploding.

Did so many spies hide in the empire?

The commotion was enough to make you think that way.

“Knights of the Empire! “Raise your sword!!!”

The most important thing in this turmoil is to protect the crown prince, the future of the empire.

The knights who made that judgment gathered by my side to protect me rather than calm the commotion.

In the first place, that judgment was correct.

But now, numerous lords from the western region have gathered for the delegation’s ceremony.

The guards they brought with them had already entered the Holy Kingdom, so the number of troops to protect my father and I was overflowing.

“Sir Pedro, eliminate the enemy!”

“Yes, Your Majesty! Knights! The Dawn of the Empire commanded. “Raise your sword according to your oath!!!”

The continent of Acradium is as wide as the American continent on Earth.

It is virtually impossible for one country called an empire to rule over such a large area.

So, just as the United States rules by dividing it into states, the empire also recognizes the existence of princely states and grants them rights close to autonomy.

But when a crisis strikes the empire, everyone returns to the shadow of the empire and becomes one.

It was a long-standing law that was written down as imperial law over a thousand years ago.

It could be said that this was the moment when an ancient relic that was over a thousand years old finally showed its true colors.

“All lords, gather near me!”

As time passed, the situation became more serious.

A person who was a neighbor until yesterday suddenly turns black and starts attacking people around him.

In such a situation, the residents of the Holy Kingdom were wary of each other and avoided each other.

“There’s a paladin over there!”

The ones they could trust were the gods and saint kings they always believed in and followed, or the group of paladins who were their strong support.

But even among the group of paladins, there were those who used strange, monstrous powers.

They wrapped themselves in a black power that did not belong to water, fire, wind, or earth, like the mana of the sun, and began to attack their surroundings at random.

It was a fairly threatening attack.

However, it was not at a level that could compete with the pincer attacks of elite knights who had honed their swords throughout the empire.

“Get into formation! “Keep each other’s square footage!”

Sir Pedro held the position of Commander of the Knights, even if only for a short time.

Because he was part of the Abarka count family, he had no hesitation in directing his troops even in a situation where a fight suddenly broke out.

“Kaaah!!!”

The knights of the empire were all brave and strong enough to be called heroes of Ikkitousen.

But what was more threatening than anything else was the formation that did not disturb even in such a fierce battle.

Choose the perfect location that protects each other but does not interfere with the sword path.

“On the topic of apostates!!!”

When the paladin with his remaining ego realized him and tried to run away, the formation surrounding him on all sides was never disturbed while moving according to his movements.

“The star that guides us!!!”

The knight who is most confident in his skills blocks the enemy’s attack from the front.

Meanwhile, the knights on either side focus on the enemy’s legs and block his mobility.

If the enemy’s movement is restricted, the knight in the rear will aim for the critical point without hesitation.

It was a perfect move.

“It’s a monster, it’s a monster!!!”

Until now, monsters have only appeared among the residents of the Holy Kingdom.

That’s why the lords of the delegation seemed to be half-watching this situation.

Would you be in trouble if you were near the crown prince of the empire?

It must have been carelessness that came from such complacent thoughts.

“Huh, Sir Chris?! “What is this?”

However, as if targeting such carelessness, degenerates began to appear in the delegation.

While they were attacking the delegation, they were following me with their eyes.

It was a gaze that showed a deep murderous intent that he would cut off my head whenever he saw an opportunity.

‘Those of lower level run away, those who are slightly better are controlled…’ Is that what it feels like?’

The guys whose bodies have changed shape with ominous darkness wrapped around them have lost their senses and are going on a rampage.

All they did was swing their fists and feet in all directions and scream.

The problem was those who were attacked by such people.

As if the darkness was contagious, those who were hit by the attack also began to scream and glow.

It boasted a strangeness, like a scene from a B-grade zombie movie.

If things continue like this, there is no end in sight.

“Kyle. Smash the clock tower bell!”

“Yes, Chairman!”

I don’t ask why.

That was the strength of Kyle, a junior in the field of physical education.

Quaaa!

The bell of the large clock tower, which can be said to be the pride of the Holy Kingdom, fell to the floor, creating an enormous noise.

The moment everyone’s eyes turned to the source of the binge, I completely opened up the mana of my entire body.

Then, like insects attracted to the light, the monsters waving their hands and feet around started glaring at me and screaming.

It works.

From Noble mtl dot com

Like the monsters seen in Soleil’s dungeon, it responds to the mana of the sun.

‘Are you an apostate?’

They felt like I, the leader of the apostates, was number one.

“Knights, listen! We are witnessing a scene where a citizen attacked by monsters becomes a monster! “Focus on reducing victims as much as possible!”

─ Yes, Your Majesty!

In this fierce battle, we must protect even those who might be the ones to stab us in the back.

This is a fairly difficult command.

Nevertheless, the knights of the empire followed my instructions without a word.

However, as the mission became unable to function properly, its momentum was bound to gradually weaken.

In a situation where the struggle was not so great, the gates of the inner city walls began to open.

“Knights! Defend the Empire!!!”

It seemed like my father had already solved the problem of introspection.

A number of knights were scattered in all directions, incomparable to the 20 or so knights I brought with them.

It seemed like the situation that occurred in this Holy Kingdom would be resolved quickly.

“This apostate!!!”

If this continues, everyone will be killed.

The subversive forces that judged that way showed direct murderous intent to kill me.

There was quite a distance between Naeseong and this place, and most of the knights were deployed to calm the situation.

They probably decided that now was the right time.

But that was a way to look down on the knights of the empire.

“Gather!!!”

Sir Pedro, who immediately realized the situation, called back 20 knights.

And then, in an instant, they dug in between me and the delegation, creating a circular phalanx.

That was the end.

‘It’s strong.’

The reason the knights organized as a delegation experienced confusion was because a colleague suddenly betrayed them.

These are people who have become close friends over a period of more than ten years.

This is a situation where such a person suddenly draws a sword and goes on a rampage, so it is impossible to properly suppress him.

But not all articles are the same.

Even if they have been eating together for decades, let alone over ten years, if it is an order, they will swing their swords at their allies without hesitation even for a second.

These are the knights of the empire raised under Sir Bertrand, the sword of the empire.

Without the slightest hesitation, they mercilessly cut down everyone who came within range.

‘Will wars like this continue in the future?’ .’

Is the scene unfolding before my eyes the battlefield the empire will face in the future?

It’s miserable.

Isn’t this a sight that could literally be called royalties hell?

There is no problem because the imperial army is at least under control, but the knights and private soldiers operated by the lords belonging to the feudal lords are the problem.

If this situation were to be repeated during a large-scale war, the imperial army would collapse from within before it could even carry out a proper war.

It was the moment I became so sure.

***

A spy was hiding within the delegation.

This was a much more dangerous situation than I thought.

“So, you’re saying a spy came out of the mission?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

My father glared at the lords standing in a row on one side of the wall with a serious expression.

“You are saying that since we are treated as a princely state, we have become unrecognizable even to our own master.”

Then the lords quickly knelt down and bowed their heads for fear of the sparks that might fall on them.

“No, Your Majesty!”

“Absolutely not!”

“Please save me, Your Majesty!”

A spy was hiding among the escort troops brought to accompany the emperor and crown prince of the empire.

This is a task that is performed by insufficient personnel even as a VVIP.

You could say this is a situation where the lords brought in those they trusted the most.

Nevertheless, the fact that something like this happened meant that there were more than just a few such unsettled people throughout the empire.

Can you catch them all and destroy them?

That was also a very skeptical situation.

What if the lords are uncooperative in this situation?

It is impossible to catch a spy hiding in the empire even if it takes several years.

That’s why my father is controlling the discipline of the lords who were the masters of spies targeting the crown prince of the empire.

That’s because we can easily catch spies even in the western region.

“Each lord must report in detail who betrayed him.”

The lords faithfully reported the traitors with the sole intention of living.

‘Is there any clue…? .’

This is the situation.

If there were any clues in common, Mace wouldn’t have to resort to the ignorant method of claiming he knows the answer.

“Maximilian.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Leave this place to me.

You do what you have to do.

As if that was what my father wanted to say, he looked towards the place where the throne room of the Holy Kingdom was located.

I bowed my head politely to my father, and then accompanied by Kyle and Sir Pedro, I went to visit the Holy King Greer.

“What on earth is going on?” .”

When King Seong heard from me what had happened outside, his face turned blue and he hesitated.

Even though it happened in his front yard, he looked like he didn’t know anything.

Is he really innocent?

Then why on earth did they choose Miles instead of Yohan as Cynthia’s escort?

I stared at the Holy King and opened my mouth.

“Gregorio.”

“… Yes, representative of God.”

“Do you know a man named Apprentice Paladin John?”

That was the moment when I brought up the word John.

The expression on the face of King Seong, who had been sweating coldly with an embarrassed expression just a moment ago, disappeared.

“Your Majesty!”

“Chairman!”

Lord Pedro and Kyle must have sensed something unusual, and quickly drew their swords and took a stance.

King Seong still looked at me with an expressionless expression and raised the corners of his mouth.

“Is this the world you dreamed of so much, Arun?”

The one who was once called ‘the Holy King’ spoke of His Majesty’s name in a friendly voice, as if calling a close friend.
