Episode 96
Episode 42. Blood is thicker than water “If it’s a black wolf, then Hugo… is he coming?”
Why didn’t I think of this all night?
Yuma wondered what the odds would be for Zishka to survive if she married Hugo.
It sounds like bullshit, but it was quite possible.
If you become Hugo’s bride, the magic kingdom and the Black Wolf will risk their lives to protect Zishka.
Then the Empire must make a choice. Whether to engage in an all-out war with Magican to catch the traitor who escaped, or to just stand by.
Of course, most deputies, particularly Hayes and Winslting, would strongly argue for the former.
However, this was something that could be alleviated to some extent if the commander-in-chief, Duran, shouted against the death penalty.
Duran’s own honor would be slightly damaged, but he would also accept it if it was to save Zishka.
Besides, what if Hugo himself came forward and demanded negotiations to save the priest’s life?
Even before returning, Hugo had met Hella Rose, who came to the land of the empire and became the empress. It was to conclude negotiations on trade between Matan and the Empire.
I still vividly remembered the anecdote of fighting with the Sword God Malone Zach bare-handed. Even the dignified appearance that did not show respect to the empress.
The confrontation with Malone was Hugo’s victory despite his bare hands.
If she became the wife of the world’s strongest ogre slayer, Zishka might be able to survive.
However, there was a very high chance that Hugo would disapprove of or kill Zizka. Because she is the princess of the empire.
Considering Mattan and Hugo’s perception of the empire, it might have been fortunate that they did not torture and kill him.
Maybe even Yuma could spark that spark. Did you bring such a member of the imperial family as your bride?
In many ways, there were many variables and the risk was high. However, it was the only gamble they could make to save Zishka.
However, as long as it was successful, several problems were solved at once.
Before and after getting drunk, Zishka was the most characterful woman Yuma had ever seen.
Although not as physically strong as Natalie, she possessed unyielding spirit and endless arrogance at the same time.
If it were her, she might not be discouraged and spit vicious words in front of Hugo.
no that was impossible Didn’t even Pi Jin’s ghost run out of control under the overwhelming energy?
A master-class unmanned man like Jeka also had vertigo, and Marlon also peed. Yuma almost spilled.
No matter how damned and strong he was, he had a slender body that had never learned martial arts.
In addition, I wondered if Zishka would be able to speak in front of Hugo with the mental strength that had been intoxicated for three years.
But that was up to Zishka. I couldn’t even solve that.
Becoming Hugo’s bride seemed the only way for Zishka to survive.
Yuma calmly explained this to Hella.
As Hella listened to the story, she stopped crying and made up her mind.
Tears didn’t solve anything. At least in terms of saving her sister.
Why do I want to save my sister so much? Why do I love my sister who has been mean to me?
It was something I thought about all day after the trial.
And no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t come up with an answer. Even though she was drunk, she was a treacherous criminal who took hundreds, maybe thousands, of innocent lives and summoned demons.
Taking the lead in taking her sister’s life ahead of anyone else was the right decision she had to make as the princess of the empire.
Among those in power, it was also a sin for the highest level of power, the princess, to be used. Even if it’s a loving father.
Rather, it was natural to use and sell others in the realm of politics. In other words, Zishka is bad at politics.
A leader is the highest being who punishes sins and praises the public. It was a virtue that Hella should have.
But I want to save my sister. I definitely want to save it. no matter what
Is this irrational judgment just because blood is thicker than water? Hella swallowed a bitter laugh.
“Hugo… I’ve heard rumors about him. I’ve never seen it myself, though. The Ogre Slayer is one of Mama’s greatest worries.”
“He is a human with great power that can never be known through rumors alone.
The title Ogre Slayer means that he is stronger than most dragons.”
“Do you really mean that much?”
“When I first met him, it was difficult to even breathe in front of him.”
“can not believe it. How can I…
“My master also destroyed the kingdom of Kozel with the power of one person. An all-out war with Hugo will take a heavy toll on the empire as well. Only my master can stop him.”
If Duran is defeated, the Empire loses its commander-in-chief and only two grandmasters in the world.
It was difficult for Yuma to predict what would happen if the two fought. From my own experience, Hugo seems to be slightly ahead, but you have to stick around to know.
By then, the truth of Joachim had been exposed, and it was crazy to take such a gamble to kill the fallen princess, who had no honor left.
Of course, there were many other powerful people in the Empire. It’s a bastard, but the emperor’s sword, Heize, Rollmandy, Adolfovian, Yuma Milina, Spazer Sinclair, Jacques, etc.
Among them, there were few who could match Hayes, even if none matched Duran.
If all of them work together to kill one Hugo, they will surely win.
However, the administration of the empire becomes chaotic when a large number of powerful people are put into an all-out war with Hugo.
Besides, how much talent will we lose? The Kantra Empire in the East would also want to target Kyle at this time.
Above all, there is a dragon and horse war.
If the two collide, one will surely die and the other will be crippled. I didn’t know the outcome, but I could be sure of this.
Losing either Duran or Hugo is a huge loss to humanity.
The only person who faced this clear fact was Yuma, the regressor.
“It seems like the only way, but the risk is too high.”
“There is also a way to escape and hide in an uninhabited island or remote place… You know better than me, right? You cannot escape the Empire’s pursuit. Within a few years, Zishka will be brutally murdered.”
“ha. Didn’t Hugo hate his country, as you said? If her sister was tortured and then murdered there…
it was quite possible.
If sending her as Hugo’s bride would result in death, there was no choice.
However, Hella was worried that Hugo would never kill Zishka gracefully. If I had to die, I wanted at least the last one to be comfortable.
Haven’t you lived with too much pain and scars over the past few years? Hated by her mother and used by her father, her soul collapses.
“If there is any evidence that Hugo-sama dislikes poor Zishka, I will end poor Zishka’s life before torture begins.”
Knowing that feeling, Yuma said. Hella opened her eyes and looked at Yuma.
It was just an apologetic feeling for the commoner in front of him.
Even when she won the duel for the honor of the princess at the banquet, even at this public trial, even at this moment when she asked for her sister’s life, she did nothing.
If it wasn’t for this commoner, he wouldn’t have known why his sister became like that all his life. I wouldn’t have even tried to understand the pain.
It was not enough to open the imperial castle warehouse, pay a million gold, bestow 50,000 specialties, and give him a new castle and territory to seal him as a nobleman.
‘I can’t do that. I’m a princess who has to act according to the cause and the law…
A commoner named Yuma and my benefactor.
All I could do was give that benefactor an order that could cost her life under the guise of a request. It is also for my personal compassion and desire to save my sister.
this terrible contradiction. Hella swallowed something hot that rose up her throat.
“If that happens, you too could be killed by Hugo!”
“I can’t help it, because this is the only way. Hugo has a pretty good feeling for me. Would you like to die? I’m…
Hella Rose.
The only person who held my hand as I prepared for death as a eunuch.
Maybe Hella Rose before the return also killed the three families and me after the end of the Dragon Horse War, drunk with ‘roses’ rather than magic.
Now I am the one who can save you. Not an insignificant eunuch.
Yuma continued.
“I want to help degrade. Even though I am a commoner, please let me follow your orders with the heart of a faithful servant.”
Hella couldn’t help but nod her head.
“Yuma, turn your head for a moment.”
I didn’t want Yuma to see the tears I would shed this time. Hella looked at the wall and cried silently for a long time before leaving the VIP room.
I told Yuma not to see her off.
“Thanks to Puang-sama, I was able to successfully settle the deal with Yuma-sama.”
Before leaving, Hella visited the garden where Puang and Cindy were drinking tea.
Poin put down the teacup and looked at Hella.
She was wearing the veil again. Beside him, the coachman, Roy Harrell, glared at the impious man in front of him with a grim expression.
“You speak fluently. This is the top of Puang. And I’m a row stop at the top of Puang. Your behavior today was very rude.”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Puang. I came here for a personal transaction with Yuma-sama… I hope you will understand.”
“Okay. Don’t do that next time!”
“Okay, Mr. Puang. Can I talk to him for a minute?”
“It’s okay, but do I have to get out of the way this time too?”
Poin was just displeased.
“Sir, you should start working now. I have put the documents that need to be paid today in the room. I have a meeting with the leader of the Latinol Merchant in 30 minutes.”
“I get it. Thanks Cindy.”
For some reason, he felt like he was being ostracized, but Poin looked at Cindy and left. Cindy’s words were hard to refuse.
As Hella looked at her, Roy Harrell moved away as well.
“Sorry for the deterioration. It was difficult to say hello properly because I was on duty.”
“It’s okay, White Butterfly. No, Cindy Mew is a special member of the imperial family and the bastard son of Obama.
When I think about it, it wasn’t just my sister who was heartbroken.
Momma hoped that Cindy would die naturally during the mission.
His blood was only half mixed with his own. But Cindy was also a blood relative.
White Butterfly, the secret code name of the imperial special lease, who is given her real name only when she goes to the tombstone.
Hella stared at Cindy’s face for a long time without saying anything more.
“May I ask why you were looking for me?”
Cindy, feeling the burden of the silent gaze, asked first.
Strangely enough, Cindy could see emotions like pity and sadness in Hella’s gaze.
“Don’t report my visit to Mama Mama today. I was looking for you to say that.”
It was a rule violation. Cindy pondered for a moment before answering.
“I will do that, low.”
“Thank you. And…
“Yes lower.”
“I hope you are doing well here.”
Hella didn’t listen to Cindy’s answer and turned away. She rode back in the same shabby carriage as she had come.
