Running Away From The Hero!

I couldn't understand what was in Astor's head either.

So, what was even creepier was that the incomprehensible work continued to succeed.

“How did the kingdom react? ”

“You seem fiercely resistant, but you've resigned, Your Grace. ”

“Yes, thank you. ”

“No, Your Majesty. ”

A nobleman who had gone to the kingdom as an envoy gave me an extreme example.

No, not even extreme examples.

I couldn't even look up.

“This is the reward for this. ”

I gave my gaze, and Ast gave it to the noble who performed the mission of buying the famous Silk Pearl even in the Empire.

“Thank you, Your Grace. ”

After receiving the pearl, the nobleman left the barracks with a satisfactory look.

“What do you think? ”

“The author's words seem to be true, given that the envoy's neck is attached. ”

“What are the chances he's lying? ”

“He's quite greedy to say the least, isn't he? ”

“That's right. ”

I nod at Ast's words.

He would, too.

“There's no going back to the traitors of our country.” “Home is home. ”

He was a nobleman of the Kingdom of Mercia, a traitor to Merdea who surrendered to us.

“I honestly didn't expect your operation to succeed like this. ”

“Everything is a thoroughly calculated operation. Success was natural, Your Majesty. ”

“… I'm more afraid of planning it thoroughly, Lord Ast. ”

Leah looks at Ast like a devout goddess of compassion and devotion.

“The original plan must be thorough. Don't you have a good example of a plan that wasn't thorough? ”

“Did we have a plan that failed? ”

“Yes, Sir Leah's wedding plans failed. ”

“Shi, you didn't fail! It worked out pretty well at the end! ”

“But didn't you fail? ”

“Th-that's all an evil scheme from the Kingdom of Mercia...!” “That's right. The last chance Lord Leah had... was gone because of the Kingdom of Mercia. ”

“The evil kingdom of Mercia...”

“Yes. The kingdom of Mercia is evil. It's justice to get rid of evil. Thus, the act of defeating the Kingdom of Mercia is no justice. ”

“I see...”

“That's it. ”

Leah's eyes were filled with hatred and anger.

Corrupt.

It was like the saints of the goddess of mercy and devotion who went out to defeat the evil god were corrupted by the evil god and became apostles of the evil god.

“Whew…”

I sighed as Leah plays on the palm of Ast's hand, but I couldn't help it.

He's an astronaut. He's Leah.

I can't help it unless I change the nature of people.

“Either way, it went well. What's the stage of the plan to make the Chinaman? ”

Ast was no longer willing to fight the Kingdom of Mercia.

He persuaded his roaring brother to eliminate the Kingdom of Mercia and sent him to another battlefield. He only made a magic attack from a distance pretending to fight a war while surrounding the capital.

Decrease the number of enemies, not what to do with them.

It was just a signal to the enemy that we were at war.

In fact, what we do mainly involves the capture of the nobles of the Kingdom of Mercia who were taken captive.

The soldiers and nobles of Mercia will not know.

What will happen to the captives?

Those in the castle will not know.

They will think they are standing at the crossroads of life and death with occasional bombings, feeling fear of when war will occur.

But those who stood at the crossroads of real life were the nobles of Merdea here.

They went insane or died under all kinds of torture.

Those wishing to live were turned to Ast to appear in a magical video to show the enemy with Duke Raisha, selling the kingdom and praising the Empire.

Those who resist to protect this country will look like traitors, but if they experience it firsthand, they will never speak of it.

Ast pushed the nobles of the Kingdom of Mercia to the edge of the cliff and shook the cord of salvation as if the kingdom had been destroyed before.

“Oh, it's really bad, isn't it? ”

Come to think of it, it wasn't the empire that Ast was born in.

He once attacked an empire and came from an imperial kingdom called Harken that was destroyed in an instant.

“What went wrong? ”

“What else happened? ”

Ast and Leah's gaze was focused on me because I said it carelessly.

“The Kingdom of Mercia. ”

It was a mistake, but Ast and Leah nodded their heads in unison.

The Kingdom of Mercia is as bad as it gets.

“Hmm……”

Seeing Ast and Leah speaking to each other again, I narrowed my eyes and looked at Ast.

Did Ast remember what happened when the country was destroyed?

Even if it was 10 years later in childhood, there could still be memories of that time.

Ast would have been older than I am now.

I am 10 years old enough to think and act on it.

Because the story of the person who lived to experience the bad things and get revenge when she was a child was commonplace.

Therefore, it is possible that the Asts remembered enough after the destruction of the Harken Kingdom.

But...

“It can't be. ”

The battle between the Empire and the Harken Kingdom is over.

Several castles offered their lives, but in one night the country itself was wiped out, rather than a year.

The Empire has not made the kingdom of Harken suffer for a long time, nor has it taken time to create a traitor or leave behind an empire army.

What we're doing now is possible because we don't care about majors.

Another troop would have taken the breath of the Kingdom of Mercia and moved to another region.

It's usually because you don't bring this much pain to your enemies.

“Maybe it's just Astni. ”

The experience of the destruction of the country in which the AST was born has nothing to do with the actions of the kingdom of Mercia.

These things were unthinkable to Howling, the most powerful evil organization in the empire, as well as any other country.

It was just an act of asthma.

“You wanted to see me, Your Grace? ”

I think I heard my little mumble.

Ast turns his head slightly to look at me.

“Oh, I'm just curious. ”

“What else do you want to know? ”

“Reasons to leave the Kingdom of Mercia unfinished. ”

“Didn't you explain that last time? The reason we can't get out even in this crowded situation is that the troops in that castle are the last force in the Kingdom of Mercia. ”

“I did.”

“The strength of the attackers and some of the nobles who are gathering militias for guerrilla warfare is not so poor. which means that this country can no longer threaten its empire like it used to. ”

“I was.”

“I am seeking revenge from Lord Leah, Your Grace. Rather than die honorably, they humiliate you to death. We can make our enemies suffer the most, except for a slight discount in their specialty. ”

“Yes. And he said he was planting seeds of empire troops inside that he couldn't resurrect. Weeds that can never be destroyed. Worst weeds that will devour all the beneficial plants around you. ”

“You remember everything, why do you ask? ”

Of course it is.

“Ordinary people don't think that. ”

“ …… ”

“Ast, you're the only one who can think like that. ”

Ast shut up about what I said when I hit the bone.

Even if you think about it, you know it's crazy.

“So, let's make sure we're done here. If that's the best revenge I can give Leah. ”

“… I understand, Your Majesty. ”

I gave him a satisfactory smile, looking at the art nodding gracefully.

And the day after that.

Ten more Merdean nobles have betrayed the kingdom.

# 114 Their Reason: A Villain's Reason

“Shhh...! ”

With a scream, the smell of roasting meat rises to a barren wasteland.

Of course, it was completely different from the delicious smell of pork that could be the companion of life.

The smell of human flesh roasting.

It was also the smell of a living person being baked.

“This is what I...! ”

“Yes, how many times do you think I've heard that? So let's skip that. ”

“Shhhhh!”

Traditional Torture, Chapter 1.

The torture method used to be used in previous dramas is not very effective.

Everyone survived the drama, but I didn't think so.

I'm confident I'll confess everything I know as soon as the heat comes on nearby.

“When you're done, I'll gather ten people to bury you, and if you can't, enjoy the party with Duke Lysha. ”

“Shhh!”

The noble who was screaming for a throat burst really burst, and he vomited blood out of his mouth.

“I... I'm like this... Shhhhh! ”

“Yes, yes, that's what I've been hearing. Can't you say something new? ”

Because of the many earthquakes on my thigh, I feel a slight decrease in firepower, so I pull out a new pharynx from the brazier and start supporting it again.

“You devil...”

“In a losing country, a winning country always looks like a demon. Why would you fight? ”

“Shhhhh!”

Hiccup. Hiccup. Hip.

Press the pharynx a little harder to protrude out screams.

“That's hard.”

I frowned at the fallen nobleman.

Some smelled repulsive, some said that the body was in limited condition, but I had to use my nerves well because I was supporting someone in pain with pharynx.

If I miss and the pharynx falls on the back of my foot, I'm in trouble.

“As expected, torture is overwhelming. Heave-ho.”

Rolled up is the punishment for placing a heavy object on a kneeling person's thigh.

Sometimes it comes in the form of a female protagonist for a male protagonist who has had a delightful experience in cartoons or Annie, but in reality it is not that cute a punishment.

In a farce, he twists his fingers on a far-fetched day, and in fact, Zuri was secretly done with illegal torture that was not stated in the law, and Abyssal was originally one of the traditional torture laws of the Joseon Era.

Once hit, the aftermath is severe, and the chances of death are high, which is why only a felon would be tortured!

Nevertheless, the reason it was often used was that it was the best torture against efficiency in pottery without having to do anything else once it was put up.

In real history, there are many stories that people who didn't just get beaten up have confessed to drinking when they were confiscated.

“Oh, no! ”

I don't know if I've ever been, but the way I see it, it seems to be true.

Oh, not that I don't agree.

“Yes!”

Raise the slate and place it on the nobleman's lap with a flat stone slab on its knee.

“Fuck off!"

The user reaches out and whispers to the crooked nobleman, breathing heavily into the added stone tablets.

“When I first met you, did you say you were a nobleman of a traditional noble family? I haven't learned how to dance properly since I was a nobleman since I was a commoner... Will you look at me? ”

“Oh, no! I'll do whatever you want me to do, so please... Please! ”

“Oh…”

Despite his regrets, the soldiers who were torturing did not allow him to give up his precious resources.

You quickly remove the stone from your knees and take the nobleman from the kingdom of Mercia, damp in trousers, outside, assisting two soldiers in their accustomed movements.

“Hehe, you'll be embarrassed if the church opens. ”

I know the basics roughly, but they are literally just the basics.

I did not learn to dance separately because it was intended to be put into the organization as a normal user.

So I wanted to show the nobles that I've learned since childhood and see if I'm doing well...

“Well, there's still a lot of people. ”

“Hiic!”

At that moment, the one I looked at with my eyes turned around and trembled.

With a slight glance, the other nobles also couldn't make eye contact with me, but were trembling.

“Hmmm... A lot of people are fine. ”

The torture they suffered was very kind.

You can ask where the sweet torture is, but it's really sweet torture.

To them in the flesh.

“But I've seen it, so you know what to do? ”

The torture they receive is the torture that watches the scenes.

It's not physical torture, it's mental torture, but it's pretty effective.

“Oh, there are so many things you might not know, so let's go through the explanation again...”

“Hail to the Karean Empire! Hail to the Karean Empire! ”

As I was about to tell you one by one about torture tools and how to use them, the nobleman who first laid eyes on me snapped his head. The Empire has begun its hymns.

“Hail! ”

“The kingdom of Mercia is already doomed! ”

Soon after, the other nobles around him burst their throats, praising the empire and denouncing the kingdom of Mercia.

“Y-you 're so s-weak... And you're so s-shh-shh-shh! ”

“Where does a rookie get off talking to old people? ”

I did not receive any torture, but I watched the tortured scene for almost a week.

In the meantime, I watched dozens of people die or break their minds, and I couldn't sleep.

You can't learn unless you're crazy.

“Take her.”

“I understand.”

When the soldiers came down after escorting the nobles who had been oppressed, I pointed to the nobles who were shouting for all eternity.

Soon, the room was quiet, and only the persecuted nobles remained in the underground torture chamber.

“You... devil...”

“Hoo, I don't want to do this either? ”

“W-what...?”

I sighed a little as I watched the nobleman faint.

“It's true.”

Who would voluntarily do something like this?

If I feel like it, I just want to push everything away and get it over with, but then I'll be dragged to another battlefield.

It went well with the Duke of Lycia in the Kingdom of Mercia, but the other battlefields may fall into an unexpected error.

They're trying to keep the organization busy.

So we need to sell Lord Leah here and buy as much time as we can and forget about the ball.

Those who have nothing envy those who have, but those who have carry as much weight as they have.

Among his former pupils, he was well aware of how many of Korea's top S-ranking priests were dog-rolling and small-touched in public opinion.

One of them left the soju box empty in my room and got tangled up.

Knowing that I didn't think I wanted to go higher.

Right now, right now is perfect.

Not too high, not too low.

A position where you can receive a modest bribe with someone of considerable standing, but you can still walk away from it!

But the princess has recently made herself an Earl, or married herself. Threatening, the organization raising more balls to enter the core of the empire, etc.

I feel like a shrimp blowing up in a whale fight!

So I'm going to hang on, hang on, hang on.

Give it as much time as you can, until someone else pulls the ball up!

“… I will accept all the conditions. ”

“… Yes? ”

“I accept all conditions. It's a perfect surrender.”

… Ah, life.
