Episode 90

tail catch (5)

“Navan! Did you even go crazy! Interrupting, interfering!」

The transmission sound of the guardian knight pierced Navan’s ears urgently.

Of course, this was Ragnar’s event.

It was also accused of treason.

No matter how much the Ceres Merchant Corps is one of the best caravans in the North, it means that if Ragnar decides, it will be reduced to ashes overnight.

So it was right for the Bacchus family not to intervene.

But,

“Why do you know only one thing and not know so much about the others? It’s stupid.”

Navan let out a sneer as he violently deflected the sword of Cleve, who was aiming for his neck.

“What nonsense… … !”

“I guess you don’t have enough money?”

“That is not something you or the like have to worry about. If you get caught up in treason, you won’t even be able to save your life, let alone preserve your family.”

“What if the Celes Merchant Army is cornered into treachery? Do you think you’ll be all right? If you don’t know how it might be related to Ceres, you probably don’t want other factions to be involved. Debtors will beg you to pay them off sooner. Ah, maybe Ragnar is going to try to get away with being suspicious, but do you have the confidence to be proud?」

“… … !”

“Seeing that he doesn’t say anything, it seems like he’s just looking at the estimate, what.”

Only then did the guardian knight realize the seriousness of the situation, and his face hardened.

It was already widely known in the North that the Bacchus family was promoting a marriage alliance with the Ceres Merchant.

Of course, the Bacchus family could not escape suspicion.

The problem was that he was not very proud of being a member of the Bacchus family.

During the hundreds of years of history, there were many things that Ragnar secretly did.

It wasn’t just one or two things to take issue with.

“The Ceres Merchant Corps and the head family are already like a community of destiny.”

“… … But still, rather than being swept away by treachery.”

Despite the easy-to-understand explanation, it seemed that he was still afraid of the name Ragnar.

Navan said pathetically.

“You only have to stop this once.”

“what?”

「Don’t you know? Ragnar is also not convinced of this allegation. If there was really solid evidence, they would have come with more people.”

“ah.”

“Whether it was because I was in a hurry or just stabbed it, I just need to stop it this time. Then, after that, the Ceres corps will take care of all the unpleasant evidence.”

“That, that’s right… … !”

「Besides, have you forgotten who is behind Ceres? Wouldn’t the Central Security Directorate, who says he cares deeply about his people, take care of himself and direct traffic?”

The Guardian Knight’s face became possessed by Naban’s words.

“Looking at the black snow over there, it looks like there was a political battle between the Hangryong and the Black Dragon, but I wonder if we don’t have to be like shrimp with their backs torn apart by that backbone.”

“Hmmm! That’s right. At first, I thought the same, but the situation was so urgent that I almost acted recklessly.”

“Yes, yes, did you think of it well? Do you move the gasoline before you do anything further?”

The Guardian Knight was dissatisfied with Naban’s way of speaking, which kept crossing the line on the subject of an illegitimate child, but decided to go over it just this time.

Above all, it seemed that if this crisis was resolved well, more profits could be extorted using this as an excuse.

“Bacchus swordsmen, protect the quadrock upper lords and gasoline!”

“Honorable name!”

“Honorable name!”

Cha Cha Cha Chang!

The swordsmen of Bacchus stopped their hesitation and aimed their swords at Theo and the others all at once.

‘How stupid.’

Naban laughed inwardly as he saw those gasols.

“… … Can we assume that this is the will of the Bacchus family?”

Cleves scanned the crowd with a cold face.

The same goes for Hazel and Evelyn.

As Ragnar’s swordsman, such an atrocity could never be tolerated.

However, Bacchus’ swordsmen were unmoved even if their pupils were shaking.

“Don’t back down! Ceres is just a victim of false accusations! I think it would be good for the great family to visit after finding out more accurate facts. What do you think?”

It was only a polite expression, in fact, it was the same as a celebration.

“I heard that Bacchus’ situation is not good these days, but I didn’t know that the person in charge would go crazy.”

Cleves gave a new order, stiffening his expression.

“The Bacchus family will also apply the same charges as the Ceres Merchant, and from now on, anyone who interferes with the execution will be punished.”

“Johnny.”

“Johnny.”

Evelyn and Hazel scattered to the left and right, respectively, drawing swords and flying them.

Although they were absolutely outnumbered, they could never back down in these conditions.

-Never give in to a traitor, even if it causes damage.

There was a temperament that Northerners could never back down from.

Follow me-

In an instant, a knife fight begins in the yard,

“Subdue them all!”

Quadrak questioned the help of the Bacchus family, who thought they would step back, but soon calmly moved the soldiers like a top lord.

After making love rhymes with Lily, I wondered if it was because I really fell in love.

‘Many of them are blood priests who have received the blessing of the 9 apostles of the Holy Magic Church! I’ll be able to trample on even average swordsmen!’

Chae Chae Chae!

Theo’s party and the swordsman of Bacchus, a blood priest disguised as a soldier of the upper ranks, were complicatedly intertwined.

in it,

Navan laughed.

“Pahahahahaha.”

It’s like going into a grave holding hands as a group just because you teased your tongue a little.

With this, the Bacchus family has crossed an irreversible river.

‘I can see the downfall of Bacchus much sooner than I expected.’

The time when I wondered how I could fan the flames even louder,

“Can you ride or ride properly like that? Wouldn’t it be more certain if we also slit the heads of one or two bailiffs?”

Suddenly, a sharp sound pierced my ears.

‘who… … !’

A chill went down Navan’s spine.

It felt like someone was looking into the inside of me that I had been hiding so well.

Chaaang!

Then, there was a beam of light flying into my face, so I hurriedly bounced it off.

The opponent was a young boy.

He seems to be about the same age as his fiancee, Lily.

However, a boy who makes it difficult to guess his real age because of his sunken eyes.

‘Theo Ragnar!’

I could quickly figure out who the opponent was.

Navan said while hiding his trembling lips as much as possible.

“radish… … I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Are you nervous right now?”

“what?”

But Theo let out a sneer as if he already knew everything about Navan’s thoughts.

And then the whole tone that follows again.

“You don’t have any good memories, but it was the family that killed your mother who gave birth to you and raised you.”

“… … !”

Navan’s eyes widened.

“There was a father who didn’t seem like a human being who knew that he was born with a disease but didn’t treat him in time and made his son a terminally ill person.”

“What are you trying to say… … !”

“Naban Bacchus. An illegitimate son born in a foreign country by Bacchus’ current head of state. An unlucky genius who was overshadowed by Thorkel, the captain of the black iron base, but came from the Bacchus family and recorded the highest score ever at the Flowering Ceremony.”

“… … !!”

「However, due to family restrictions, I had to waste ten years without doing anything. That’s why you have no intention of keeping your family alive. I was thinking of destroying it somehow within the five years left to you, and I must have put the numbers one by one. Like playing chess.”

“… … .”

「Pulling the family to the brink of bankruptcy, attracting the dangerous element Hangryong… … From there, up to the choice you have made now. Perfect. congratulation. Finally, the Bacchus family is now a complete traitor family.”

In an instant, the emotion quickly drained from Navan’s face.

expressionless.

It was as if she had become a doll with no emotions left.

“… … what are you How do you know me?”

“What does that matter?”

Theo’s twisted lips widened.

“I wonder if the important thing right now is what kind of help the opponent in front of you will be able to help you.”

“… … !”

“Your incurable disease, I will teach you how to cure it. Take responsibility for the downfall of Bacchus. Instead of.”

Theo’s eyes shone intensely.

“Become my second sword.”

Navan couldn’t quite figure out how to accept the existence of the alternate Theo.

He appears out of nowhere, sees through all of his past, and offers to give him what he needs.

He wondered if Heukseol, who had been observing him for a long time, was playing a joke.

It felt like being possessed by a ghost.

However, there was no reason for the black snow to be like that, and Theo in front of him was also a vessel to contain someone, not someone else.

Having lived only as an outsider all his life, he prided himself on having a better eye for people than anyone else.

Theo was sincere.

“You’d better decide as soon as possible. As you can see, it is difficult to give it a long time.”

Theo laughed.

* * *

– Ten swords.

When Theo first opened his eyes immediately after his return, he named the ten talents needed to sit in power.

The first of them was Evelyn, and the second was Navan.

Both have outstanding talent and skills, but they had one thing in common: they were born in the wrong era and failed to bloom properly.

– Just like Theo himself.

“You can cure me? How can you believe that?”

Shake for a while.

Navan asked a question in a calm tone.

As if the cynical attitude a moment ago was all a lie.

‘As expected, I’m starting from the boundary. Well, it was expected enough.’

He had lived his whole life only suspecting others, and he was a person who was so good at shaping that he secretly led his family down the path of downfall.

Of course, there was no way to be quiet.

Theo shrugged.

“If you follow me around, wouldn’t you know for sure? then decide Become my sword or not.”

But the confident attitude that you would never refuse my offer made Naban’s heart squirm.

The hope that you might be able to live.

And,

– The hope that there may be someone who recognizes ‘me’ for the first time.

In a situation he never thought he would be able to experience, Naban frowned for a long time before finally shaking his head.

“… … great. trust me for once But I have to tell you properly about how you knew about me.”

“I will.”

“And.”

“… … ?”

“I think I’m older than you, but do you use honorific words? Even if I look like this, I’m the same age as the black iron captain and the blooming ceremony?”

“I see what you are doing.”

“It’s to see if I’m a good swordsman.”

In an instant, Navan’s eyes flashed coldly and he turned his body the other way.

And,

nettle liquid-

Chow ah!

The swiftly shot sword grazed the nape of the neck of the guardian knight who was arguing with Evelyn just in time.

“you… … what is this… … !”

The guardian knight stared blankly at Navan with disbelief in his eyes.

After persuading them that they should help the Ceres Merchant, he actually stabs himself in the back?

The corner of Navan’s mouth was full of ridicule that symbolized him again.

“Wouldn’t it be possible for the country to survive only by carrying the traitor’s neck?”

“… … !”

“So you have to watch the line closely.”

The Guardian Knight looked like he wanted to argue, but he couldn’t say anything except the sound of air leaking through his lips.

Slap!

Then, when the last remaining strength was lost, a blood line was drawn between the nape of the neck and the head bounced into the air.

Woo woo woo-

percussion-

Navan spurred hard on the floor and lunged at Bacchus’ swordsmen.

“Go, Gongja!”

“Why are we… … !”

“Because you guys are all the same.”

Anyway, all of these guys were the main culprits who drove Naban’s birth mother to death.

There was no forgiveness.

shush shush-

The sword spirit that soared from Navan quickly began to wipe out the ‘old’ swordsmen.

It was a massacre.

“Did you ask me to become the second sword?”

Navan’s electric sound pierced Theo’s ear sharply.

“I guess that means you already have the first sword… … I’ll change that thinking right now.”
