Count Scribe's Tutor

Right after the Duke of Setier's warning ended.

Blood pours out restlessly where your right arm was. Soon, the blood reaches the ground, creating a tiny puddle beneath your feet.

Immediately, a expressionless face landed on the surface of the pool.

Cardinal, your face hasn't changed since your arm was cut off. She looks at the duc, not even thinking about picking up her right arm.

On the other hand, the Duke of Setier did not change his face.

He stares at the Cardinal without taking his hand off the scabbard. If I do anything suspicious, I'm willing to shoot right now.

When tension was heightened.

Keshmif, who was observing the situation, opened his mouth.

“I warn you, you will have to deal with this wisely. ”

A polite tone of voice. But your voice is sharp as a scaffolding.

Keshmif smiled.

“This view is being broadcast across the kingdom. ”

As soon as he finished saying that, the Cardinal's vision showed a lot of magic.

Where in the world did you use this kind of magic? The Cardinal slightly narrowed his glance as if he didn't like it. Then the Duke of Setia hears another warning.

“Surrender. Unless you want to be a corpse without a neck.“ ”

This time it was more of a threat than a warning.

Nevertheless, the Cardinal did not shrink. With a still expressionless face, only your eyes move. It's like he's trying to figure out what to do.

Looking at this, Ferda flashes.

‘What choice do I have? ’

The cardinal in the original was never in this situation.

I had only ever been chased behind a fleeing reality or handed over with the help of the kingdom. So, of course, I was curious.

‘If the battle takes place.' ’

I can barely catch my breath.

Decide what to do next, then decide what to do. Ferda fixes her posture and clears her head. Make sure he shows up behind the Cardinal's back right now.

At that time, the cardinal's necklace flashed once.

The Cardinal recognized this and shivered. Then he gazed quietly at the stonework in the middle of the necklace and bit his lips tightly.

“· · · · · · A return order has been issued from the home country. ”

Was he contacted by anyone?

The Cardinal muttered so. It was quite an unhappy face. A moment later, she bends down and picks up her right arm, which was cut off. He then looked at the realm and spoke.

“We'll meet again soon enough. Sinners of dishonest character. ”

One last thing that sounds like good-bye.

Silver hair blows in the wind. The cardinal turned around and once again touched the stone on the necklace. Meanwhile, Duke Setier grimaced his face.

“I never said it would go easy. ”

I've been talking nonsense for a while.

Suddenly, the duc opened his eyes. It's like I've noticed something. At the same time, a fucking sword is drawn from his blade. He cut down the duc's black cardinal body as it was.

Kwa-ga-ga-ga angle!

If you lose the conch in an instant.

The Cardinal who had just been in his place disappeared everywhere. The duc then raised his whole body's senses as much as he could to chase after the Cardinal. However, I could not feel the cardinal's movements anywhere.

“It looks like the · · · · · · · transition escaped with magic. ”

Then came the reply from Keshmif.

I can't believe I missed it. The duc kicks his tongue low.

Ferda sighs in relief. Of course, I could fight as much as I wanted to, but at least I wanted to fight after I got rid of my hesitation.

By the time the battle with the Cardinal ended in vain.

Heave-ho!

The duc put the sword back in the stables.

After turning around, I had a one-on-one look with Ferda. Then he walked straight to the realm.

“Silvan arcade. And a one-horn exam. ”

A peacock with two names with a serious face.

Did he feel that the atmosphere was hard? The reality quickly caught my face. Then, the starry duc lowers his head slowly.

“Give thanks to the heroes of the realm. ”

With a respectful greeting, the reality was embarrassing.

Looking for two places to look, he soon turned to Ferda. Like, what am I supposed to do? Then Ferda opens her palms without saying anything and points her down. It meant to stay still.

In fact, he nodded slightly to understand this.

Around that time, the duc raised his head again.

“Thanks to the heroes' actions, I was able to defeat disasters and restore peace. I sincerely thank you for your efforts. ”

At the end of another thank-you.

The silent Mercedes suddenly steps forward.

“Heroes, no question. ”

He shakes his head and puts his right hand to his chest.

Immediately, I bowed my head politely and replied.

“I was just following the lord's orders. ”

“Hm? Joo? ”

The duc asked curiously.

It was very good to pretend not to know each other. As Ferda bursts into laughter, Merced nods earnestly.

“Yes, the Lord has sent me to the capital. He ordered us to kill the fierce monsters and save the people who were grieving. ”

“Oh, is that true? ”

“Yes, so all my balls belong to the Lord. ”

“Haha, you have a great lord. ”

The duc's mouth is filled with a happy smile.

Then he asked as if he was curious.

“Yes, who is the Lord of lords? ”

Merced smiled lightly.

Like I was waiting for that question.

A moment later, he turns sideways, kneeling on his knees.

“My one and only master. ”

The protruding horn points to the thread.

Merced, with his head bowed, unsheathes his bare sword at his waist, holding it in both hands. Then he handed it to the practitioner and said,

“I pledge to you every victory I have won. ”

Reality notices how the situation is going, and the sword is lightly drawn.

Then he replied with a serious voice.

“Well done, Lord Merced. ”

It's a clear continuation. And yet, Mercedes bows quietly.

At the end of this scene, the magic group created by Keshmif has lost its light.

Saaaa

A magic jewel that disappears like it melts into thin air.

Soon, all the sorcerers hid themselves, and Keshamif smiled brightly.

“Well done, everyone. ”

I clapped my hands and broke the silent atmosphere.

Then the first person who changed his attitude was Duke Setier.

“Hmmm! It's so awkward to act like this for so long. ”

A peacock scratching his cheek with a shrugged face.

Isha is stunned by the sudden change in attitude.

“Yes? Oh, the smoke? ”

“Yes, because you promised to do this. ”

The duc nods with a fabulous smile. Immediately, he turned his gaze. The place with yellow eyes was where Ferda was.

“How are you? Are you satisfied now? ”

“Yes, thank you. Mr. President.”

Ferda grins.

Duke Setier played much better than I expected. It was a good match for Silvane and Merced. This gave me a better view than I planned.

‘With this, all nobles will pay attention. ’

The hero who prevented the disaster by sweeping the southern and eastern kingdoms.

Not only that, Duke Setier sends his thanks, bowing his head, and the heroic and one-horned swordsman near the capital is also found to be a knight in shining armor.

You will receive the attention of not only nobles, but also of royalty.

‘Also known as the Cardinal Anonymous crossed the border. ’

With this, people will feel even worse about the Holy Land.

Ferda's mouth is filled with a smile.

‘I did everything I could. ’

Now all that's left is to work hard to make the Holy Land a common enemy.

And it was all about deciding how to dispose of the cardinal.

Meanwhile, Ferda was out of the picture.

“I'm sorry about Earl Morco, by the way. ”

“Phew, if it was so urgent, it would have been enough to ask for support · · · · ·. ”

Keshmif and Duke Setier sigh.

They sighed as if they were sorry. It was worth it. Earlier, I heard that Earl Morco was quite friendly with the two.

Then, Isha suddenly opened her mouth.

“We didn't ask for help, did we? ”

“Hmm? What do you mean? ”

The duc questioned me in vain.

Not only that. Keshmif and his realm, as well as Ferda, have gone out of their minds. What are you talking about?

As everyone's gaze focused on Isha, she said.

“I saw the paladin you were dealing with earlier coming out of the white paper. ”

“ · · · · · ·! What? ”

“Does that mean the paladin was in Morco's white paper? ”

And I said, "Well, let's put that all together. ”

Seeing their reactions, Isha nods.

Meanwhile, the reality was still a curious face. On the contrary, Ferda understood what she wanted to say at once.

‘You want to blame the Holy Nation. ’

I once told Isha why I was framing the Holy Land.

To shield the Kingdom of Laderon, to stop the blade from reaching the realm. At the time, Isha fully agreed with Ferda.

As I thought about it, I heard two voices.

“I don't understand. Why is the paladin in the white paper? ”

“I see. Do you have any idea why? ”

Immediately after Queshamif's question, Isha replied as if she had waited.

“But when I encountered the paladin, the lord asked me, Why did you come out of there? What do you want to do with Morco? ”

“So what did he say? ”

“He was not obliged to answer the wicked horde, but he wielded his sword. ”

In response, the duc frowned.

If it were the Cardinal who had just faced us, he would still be there.

“But the Lord didn't react. You said we shouldn't attack until we found out. ”

The scent of lying that does not stick to your mouth.

In fact, he made a silly face. But I didn't dispute it. It was thanks to Ferda blinking her eyes while watching the reality.

“The lord kept trying to talk, but the paladin didn't listen to us. And in doing so, your troops were hit pretty hard. ”

Based on his perception of the nameless cardinal, he tells a fictional story. At the end, he wedged his story into the truth that clearly exists.

‘And if you show me the evidence later. ’

The lies she has told will be very convincing.

Isha, too, was not ordinary. Ferda bursts into laughter.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the intestine cooled down like cold water.

Of course. Isha's story was enough to arouse suspicion that Cardinal Morco may have had something to do with his death.

When the Duke and Keshmif swallowed silently.

Isha claps her hands as if she were thinking of something.

“Oh, by the way, before the paladin came out, the homeroom teacher infiltrated the Morco white paper by himself. Maybe he found some vital evidence or a clue? ”

I'm afraid of what Isha has to say.

Everyone's gaze pours into Ferda.

I can see Isha winking beyond her asking for answers. Now that you've laid the board out, you may as well jump as you like.

Yeah, we did this, but we can't screw it up.

Ferda grins as she catches her breath. Then I opened my mouth with a deep, dark bath.

“It was a terrible sight. ”

I got lucky with a meaningful horse.

A few moments later, a shocking story leaked from Ferda's mouth.

“By the time I got to the White Writing, Earl Morco was already dying. Arms and legs were cut off, and in front of the Earl was the Silver Haired Paladin I saw earlier. ”

“ · · · · · ·! ”

The duc's face hardens horribly.

Ferda also spoke with a stiff face.

“Then the paladin said, I'll save your life. Make a deal with me. ”

“Deal?”

“Yes. I didn't hear it exactly from a distance, but they told me to cooperate to cover the tracks of the experiment." And the Silvan arcade, who knew what not to know, also had to be eliminated. ”

There was no need to add a specific description.

I've been laying siege to the Holy Land.

“But Earl Morco refused. You said you couldn't betray the kingdom for my comfort and the hero of the kingdom. ”

“· · · · · · · Garnac deserves it. ”

“The man who put the kingdom before his own life. ”

Shadows cast over the face of Duke Sethier and Keshamif.

Even if it is a lie, it has preserved Earl Morco's honor. Then it's time to put the Holy Nation back in the fold.

“Shortly after the Earl refused to trade, the paladin turned the Earl into a monster in the blink of an eye. We couldn't even get one. · · · · · · Because it changed rapidly without a gap to use. ”

Ferda bites her lip tightly as she joins the horses. I immediately bowed my head with a bruised face. Like you can't speak any more.

Meanwhile, Duke Setia grips his teeth.

A crooked face. He struggled to suppress his anger.

Shortly thereafter, the duc's lips lit up.

“· · · · · · As soon as I return to Uranus, I will send an envoy to the Holy Land. ”

A bold speech that flows like water.

But I couldn't hide it until my voice was filled with rage.

“We will formally lodge a complaint and demand a fair reward. But if they don't comply... ”

The blurred duc stares up at the eastern sky for a moment.

The yellow eyes gradually glowed.

“As much as we shed blood, we will take their blood. You must!”

Listening to an angry declaration.

You smiled at Ferda, who lowered her head.

It was the most satisfying smile I had ever made.
