I was born as a Son of Villain

< -- Prolog of the Prolog -->

The Brechen family got on the wagon. It's been three years.

“It's been three years since I've been home. Can you see the faces you miss? ”

Lyra picks up Fei and Lina in the wagon and says,

“I don't remember much. ”

“Are you going home? Wow! I can't wait to see what they look like! ”

The last time Faye went back to Ade was when she was seven. I don't remember much about that time. Even in the capital, this house close to Maguille was more like a home.

Lina, who was four years old at the time, didn't even remember going home.

“Sebastian would love to see you. I used to love you so much. ”

Finally, Florence boarded the wagon and said,

Sebastian Pei frowns. The pale old man faintly remembered. He is the chief executive officer of Bonga Manor and is an elderly person acting on behalf of his father who is busy with business.

Linda has heard of it. I think it was a baron who said he was in similar shape to himself.

Sebastian, born to be a butler.

You don't have to think about anything more. It's a face you won't see anyway.

“I don't remember your face very well. ”

“Sebastian will be disappointed. ”

The wagon has left. It will take about five days from the capital to Ade, in the Brechen region. Ade, who has shared history with the Empire, is close to the capital and in a safe location. On the contrary, it's quite a long way to get sideways and away from the Empire on your way to Adère.

‘I'm glad we have a fast way to go. ’

Fei has sidetracked Roland as a middleman on his way to Ade and sent Florence on his way out of the Empire as soon as possible. That path will be used.

But the road is rough. It's way over the mountains. Pei wouldn't have done it when she was eight. The answer was to learn the simple law.

The wagon ran without stopping. At lunch, I ate the packed lunch box in the wagon. Lina murmurs, but no one complains except Lina.

You might want to enjoy a mother-like vacation, but seeing her calm Lina without shouting, Fei realized that she knew about the exile, too.

I sweated on my lunch hand. Fei summoned Bell. I was going to train.

- Are you anxious and need a companion?

Seeing Fei's anxiety, the black girl laughs and teases Fei. Lina reaches out to grab her, but Bell flies away from her.

“Shying...! Bad Bell!”

- I'll play you if I can. Catch me.

Lina crawls along the inside of a large wagon. No one complained because it was a familiar sight.

“Are you going to train? ”

Lyra asked Fei.

“There's nothing to do on the way. ”

“You're working hard. You can relax. ”

“Every time I have time. That's training.”

“Can you see the wall? ”

Fei's proximity to the wall to Indan was known to very few, including his family. The rumor that a great genius appeared while preparing for exile did not help focus the empire's attention.

“I can't see it. Ambiguous.I think I've encountered some hard fog. ”

“Soon the fog will be firm. That's when it really started. ”

“What did you do to her? ”

“I don't know…"

Lyra casts her gaze out the window. In heaven, clouds were comfortably flowing.

“I was stunned for about two years, and I was over the wall. I'm not sure how. But you were my blood. You'll be fine. ”

Some people are stuck in the walls of the Indus and spend their whole lives wasting it. Lyra's answer was not appropriate from the mouths of ordinary people. Fei felt like he knew who some of his talents had come from.

“Not at all helpful......”

“Really?"

Lyra grins and strokes Pei's head. Fei drops his hands, embarrassed. He's 10 years old, and I'm a little embarrassed about this.

“Each has his own way. Your deceased grandfather went over the wall while eating. Perhaps there is a strange talent in the blood of our family.......”

Lyra pauses with a subtle expression. I read that some people jump off a cliff to get over a wall or suffer until they're about to die. I was dumbstruck, I was over the wall, I was eating, I was over the wall, and it wasn't normal.

You don't want to do that. Fei laughs at Lyra.

Even a strong horse born of a xenophobic breeding needed rest. At the beginning of the day, the wagon that was running until sunset stopped as soon as the sun went down.

When the Fei family got out of the wagon, the knights were preparing for dinner and overnight. The wagon Pei rode in could have slept inside, but it wasn't anyone else's. In the beginning, the escort knights rode horses, not carriages.

In the mood of a picnic, a sumptuous meal came out. Fei tasted the food one by one. From the sand you deviate from the set path. It's the beginning of a life on the run. Comfortable food and comfortable bedding are not far away.

Fei searches through the Knights preparing for the overnight stay. Captain Henry and his knights. They are all the Emperor's dogs. For the sake of asylum, we must put them away first. Knights with facial recognition will die.

Fei is cold. The one who must die. That's it.

As time passes, Fei slumps over in the wagon, feeling a sense of silence. Bell dozes over his head as well. There was no conversation. The conversation was long overdue. Everyone has spent their time in vain.

However, Fei knew that his parents were nervous.

After a day, finally, a day came.

* * *

“Bandits are chasing us! ”

You hear the wagon driver's urgent voice. The horsemen are chasing you, blowing dirt behind you. Not only that. Enemies are attacking from both sides.

“There's nowhere to go! Marquis!”

“Don't ask me, ask the Knight Leader! ”

Florence replies. He's more of an open book on tactics. Therefore, it was a reasonable decision to leave the judgment to the Knight Leader Henry.

Ten seconds later. I hear voices again.

“He says he's going to break through! Hold on tight! ”

The wagon is speeding up. The wagon that has never been shaken has begun to shake. Lina is scared and hugs Lyra in her arms. Lyra hugs Lina tightly with a determined expression.

During the chaos, Fey saw Florence twist her mouth. As expected. Just like that. And it was true.

‘As expected, the best generals in the empire are different. ’

If the bandits attack from all around, they will pierce through the front by saving the life of the wagon and horse. So put the strongest man in front of you to stop the wagon. It's all Roland's plan.

Those helpers pretending to be bandits will collapse in a flash if they attack the wagon and the group. Then the massacre begins.

The distance to the bandits is imminent. The Knights ahead of Henry march on the wagon with their horses. It became a long spear by assembling a club pulled from the waist.

Henry and the Knights swoop forward and charge towards the enemy in front.

Chiiing! The sound of a torn ear rings, and the wagon shakes violently with the sound of the horse's cry. The wagon appears to be twisted to the side. Fei held on to the leather of the seat tightly. The fluctuations stopped shortly. The wagon stopped completely.

You can see that the aides and knights are already in a fierce duel.

“Do you know who is in this wagon?" ”

“Did you see the thief you want to giggle about? ”

You hear shouts and whistling. Pei watches the situation outside through the window. The accompaniment of the knights was minimal. If the mercenaries you hired here lose, it's all over. I looked next to him, and I saw that my father had a similar heart attached to the other side of the window.

Fortunately, the fight was overwhelming for the mercenaries. A knight opens the carriage door roughly and shouts.

“Your Highness! Run! They're not communicators! ”

“No, you don't have to. ”

Florence tore a scroll from her arms. The knight cries out in flames. The mercenaries started chasing after the Knights while the sudden incident caught their attention.

A mercenary approaches the wagon and talks to Florence.

“Are you sure you are the employer who requested this strange quest? Earl Florence di Ade Brechen? ”

“That's right.”

“Then let's keep things going. ”

“Let's do it. ”

The mercenary immediately returned to battle. Instead, two other mercenaries approached and guarded the wagon. Florence dares to keep an eye on the battle. I wasn't worried about the mercenaries. They are prepared with great care for this day. Trust is certain.

In fact, Florence didn't even know that there was a huge ball of solstice and the Black Brotherhood to recruit these mercenaries.

Henry cried out, seeing Fei and his family protected by the bandits.

“Chancellor! Do you intend to betray His Majesty?" ”

“You got it right. You should bury the bones here, too. ”

“You rat! ”

Angry Henry turns his back to the wagon. I feel like I was attacked by my back but didn't care. His furious attacks are fueled by the mercenaries guarding the wagon.

“What a mercenary! ”

Henry had a pretty good idea who the bandits were.

“When I hear that, I always return it like this. Is the world in your garden comfortable, Knight? ”

As the mercenary waves his hand, Henry bounces back. Henry's mouth bled when he landed. The mercenary who approached Henry's back to clean up the blood spilled, swings his sword. Henry's spine was torn off, and he fell forward and suffocated.

“Dishonorable bastards! ”

When Henry is down, another knight shouts.

“Honor feeds you? We just have to do what we're paid to do. ”

Someone winces and laughs. The knights were furious and engaged in battle, but they were lacking in power.

When all the knights are dead, the mercenaries crowd around the wagon. On behalf of the mercenary, a middle-aged man approaches Florence.

“Your life is in the balance, my lord. Can we go straight to the next one? ”

“Wait a minute before that. ”

“What? I know we're running out of time. ”

“It will take less than a minute. ”

Florence is headed to the wagon where the acolytes, including the cook, are riding. You get down on the wagon and look anxious and look around at them.

“There should be a small box received before departure. There was some money in it. Take it and live free. ”

The attendants tilt their heads in a sudden situation. Florence returns without seeing their reactions. I remembered the guilt on his face.

If we run from here, they will die a high chance. The emperor will not stand for it.

“Let's go.”

The mercenaries who heard Florence's orders took the loot as wild as when they attacked the Knights and rode off on horseback. One of them boarded the wagon to act as a horse and carriage.

“We must run for two days straight until we reach the Sky Mountains and then cross the mountains. Payne, Lina. Let me catch my breath. ”

“Dad, what's this? ”

Pei looks back at Lina, crying in Lyra's arms for fear of what just happened, and asks Florence.

“It happens. Just know that you are no longer in the Empire. ”

Florence said with a stern face.

“You're embezzling! You say that, and you end up doing it! Father, what the hell are you! ”

“What's this guy looking at his father for? I didn't get anything! It's just too much to take, you idiot! ”

Florence cries out for insubordination on a ridiculous accusation. The majesty of the family is not like this! That's why families fall and societies fall apart!

“Really? You didn't really do that, did you? ”

“I raised my son wrong! I can't believe you didn't believe me! ”

Florence was pitiful.

Pei, who already knew everything, smiled quietly, seeing his father as if he had felt a little relieved.
