Running Away From The Hero!

Ambition - Memories of a Lady (22)

# 32 Their Reason: A Villain's Reason

“It's over. ”

After plundering a small village, a huge pile of paper pops up. Among them, many documents were found stamped with the Duke's seal in the Kingdom of Mercia.

“There's no doubt about it. ”

“Of course.”

Seeing the soldiers carrying the last evidence, I sighed deeply.

“Wow, this is too much.... ”

I honestly followed you, but I didn't expect there to be this much evidence. No, I didn't think there would be such a thing without geology and incisions before!

I just played it a few times, and there was not a single survivor.

At first, he shouted to kill or said he would kill himself so there was nothing more to find, but he kept his mouth shut and exercised his right to remain silent as he said that all the hidden molars had been pulled out.

Well, that didn't last long!

“I've got so much prepared.... ”

I learned torture skills in the organization, but only in theory.

In the novel we saw a long time ago, trainees tortured each other or kidnapped people to demonstrate, but the reality organization was different.

When they tortured each other, their grudges piled up and they secretly killed the team during the mission, or they continued to wreak havoc during their torture classes.

There are no people to use because of the nature of the organization that operates in the phoneme, but it's too much to spend. The organization's intention was that there were enough people who were dying on the mission.

Of course, there are some people who are captured and kidnapped in connection with the tissue, but there is no opportunity for a trainee because Biological Experiment # 1 is black magic.

“Bastards! They're not loyal! They're not assassins! ”

I've been tortured on my own so that I can see where people hurt the most, how much they don't die, and, at a later stage, when I raise my disciples in the organization, they tell me that I've done something horrible!

Before the full torture, it was still unfair and absurd that he opened his mouth so easily with just a little prank. That's why they sing Loyal, Loyal songs in the organization.

“Loyalty is the most important thing in the organization! ”

When I returned to the organization and served as an instructor again, I made a commitment to provide my disciples with loyalty.

It was then.

“Excellent, Ser Ast! This is unbeatable. I can't believe you made it this far! ”

What really, really struck me in the back was an unexpected blow.

“Earl Maures... what did you say? ”

Even if it is an investigation, it is not a good shape for foreign soldiers to search their own citizens' homes.

Therefore, the Peleros Royal Army and the Imperial Army's investigators agreed to investigate jointly, followed by several officials from the Foreign Ministry of the Kingdom of Peleros and Earl Maurice to mediate on both sides.

Of course, I said it was dangerous, but I said yes because I was from Argentina, a prominent school of the best in the empire, in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and had knight-level combat power.

If you're from Arcia, you can be more helpful than me in an emergency.

Of course, I felt very uncomfortable being friendly all of a sudden, but I was ignoring the fact that I was thrown out of the Imperial Court after this investigation.

But you made me realize how important this is!

“You've done a great job! You have thwarted the plot of the kingdom of Mercia, which is no different from any other country! ”

Seeing Earl Maurice dazed over the commotion, I whispered a small word behind my back.

“Last name… and? ”

Achievements. It means something has been done to produce results.

They are mostly used in a good way and are often used when they succeed in something they want or big.

Yes, I did. And that's a huge accomplishment!

I managed to get the bodies back to the Empire safely, but I was also able to catch the men who killed them.

Not only that, I interrogated them and got a confession, and I found all the evidence. It was also the work of the old enemy, the Kingdom of Mercia!

“When I return this time, I'll call you Birch, not Baron!" ”

Hahaha! Earl Maurice smiles and slaps my back as if he didn't understand how I felt.

We're screwed. We're screwed!

What's left!

“Rob that wagon! ”

“Ah, Lord Ast? That's a wagon from a nearby alliance... ”

“That wagon is a suspicious wagon! ”

There's only one way to crash!

# 33 Their Reason: A Noble's Reason

“Go!”

Hee-young!

Along with the roaring horse, we begin to leave the kingdom of Peleros.

The goal has already been fulfilled. No, I did more than that.

“As expected, the Empress Dowager! ”

I handled everything perfectly so neatly.

I went beyond the task at hand and solved the fundamental problem.

I find the evidence and reveal it deliberately and use myself as bait.

The fish that approached without knowing it was bait was about to be caught and cooked neatly and handed over to the customer (Imperial).

It's so neat. It's as if a skilled chef is cooking as usual.

The process of slaughtering meat and organizing vegetables was very smooth.

I can't believe this is the skill of a commoner who's been in the Imperial Court for less than five years. I wonder where he's been sent from!

But that's not gonna happen.

There is no disadvantage to the Empire because this incident is known. It's full of things that only harm the Kingdom of Mercia.

“As expected, the eyes of the king... ”

After Lord Leah, I snatched a potential treasure.

No, Ser Leah was famous before becoming a sodmaster, but Ser Ast met the same day he was hired as a servant to handle imperial affairs and became a personal butler.

This achievement was achieved by equalizing the man who just came in and the commoner who doesn't even know who he is!

“Time to start thinking. ”

The Empress 1 has now reached the age of two digits.

Starting with the first prince, who is a little older, many princes and princesses are coming to fight for the next kingdom.

The best position in the empire.

It can greatly affect not only the royal people, but also the nobles living in the Imperial Court and distant lands.

A noble who runs a faraway land. Unless he participates in managing the land, the time will surely come for me to choose one of the royal people as I live in the imperial court.

“We should get to know each other as best we can. ”

The more allies we have, the better. No, a gain is a gain if you are not an enemy, even if you are not.

All diplomats know the facts. That is, it is more comfortable to have fewer enemies than to have more allies.

“It would be foolish to pretend to be with such a man. He's a baron now, but if he returns, he may one day be an earl like me. ”

It's not that hard to be a nobleman. However, it is difficult to maintain that position. And getting promoted is even more difficult.

The imperial court is cold.

There are many new nobles appointed in a year, but the number of nobles decreases by that number.

Those with abilities give rank, and those without abilities take away again.

It means that a brilliant genius can appear, but we can't maintain our nobility unless our son is excellent.

That is why nobles with history and tradition and nobles with ranks above the Earl are called the High Nobles.

It is because only a family that succeeds generations to build a legacy in the country and continuously dispatches geniuses to become the Marquis and Duke family.

“I wonder where that leads. ”

The earliest title in the history of the empire is the Earl.

With his brief moment with him and his ability and public display, Lord Astor should be fortunate enough to receive the title of Earl.

“Keep an eye on his march... Huh? ”

Suddenly, the wagon stops, trying to think quietly.

“What's going on? ”

“There seems to be a problem with the other wagon. ”

“Did you catch the sinners? ”

“I don't think so. I think it's Lord Ast's wagon... ”

I opened the door slightly to the wagon's story. You hear some pretty loud noises.

I listened closely and heard Sir Ast's voice, which was unusual.

“What's going on? ”

Ser Ast's voice breaks, and the knights and soldiers, including Madosa, begin to move one by one.

Their target is a few wagons waiting in the corner.

Perhaps you saw the flag of the Karan Empire and fell to the outskirts to clear the road.

“Are you scolding me because it's too late to clear the way? ”

Even if the Karean Empire was successful in road maintenance, the roads would be narrow except for the capital or metropolitan area.

Because of this, I often had unnecessary fights when I met the nobles' wagons with similar positions and strength on the road.

“Still young, I see. ”

Such behavior in foreign territory is not good.

It is said to be a flag, a small country, but it is betting on the flag of the alliance.

You may look like a merchant if you look at a wagon, but they are friendly as long as they are placing an alliance flag. It is not good to be careless.

“What are you guys doing? ”

I quickly got out of the wagon and spoke to the Magos in the rear. But the answer that came back was a little different from what I expected.

“Sir Ast said that the wagon was disguised as a fake wagon, so he needed to investigate.... ”

“What?"

Where the hell are you going? A perfect merchant's wagon. There's nothing suspicious about it.

But my question was quickly solved.

“Slave! Slave trader! ”

“Damn it! Hit it! ”

One of the soldiers who was busy with the merchants checked the inside of the wagon and shouted. As soon as they heard that the merchants were slavers, they changed their faces and started to grab their weapons and rush in.

“Damn it!”

The Mados also began to use magic to support the soldiers, wondering if they didn't really think Sir Astor was right.

“Lord Ast... You…. ”

I can't believe you rode by a wagon and saw the outside of a wagon like that to judge a slaver's wagon!

Where does that power end?

“As expected, I must hold the Queen Dowager's cord. ”

If you look at a servant, you can see what the lord is capable of.

Her Highness, the First Lady who deals with a man of Lord Ast's stature, would be a good person to serve as Lord enough!

And a bit of a distant future.

This was the best choice of my life.

# 34 Their Reason: Someone's Reason

I was a kid.

Looking at legends, fairy tales, books like that, I had one dream.

- I want to see Prince Charming!

It was a dream.

When I opened my eyes, I saw the book and met the prince in my imagination, and when I closed my eyes, I became a princess in my dream and met the prince.

Some were kind, some were bad.

But in common, they all met me by fate, and fell in love with me as fate intended.

But in the end it was a dream. Dreams that can't be fulfilled.

I was born unable to go out. There was always something inside.

But I didn't give up.

The prince will come for me. That's fate.

As long as there is a destiny in the world, you and I will meet!

But one day.

- If you do not act and wait, fate will not choose you.

The voice of someone echoing in my head.

But strangely, the horse kept going around in my head, and I snuck out of there, I didn't even know where to protect it.

And I got caught by some bad people called slave traders.

They noticed at a glance that I was different from other Elves, as if I wasn't a common slaver, and they finally found out who I was.

To be honest, my body was shaking because I was scared. But at the same time, my body was shaking for different reasons.

Incapacitation situation. You don't know what Humans will do if you don't get it right!

And in that situation!

“Huh? Elves? ”

Because my destiny is to come true!
