Episode 57
Episode 28. The call of the imperial castle (2)
I was in a position where I was still being ignored by this kind of guy.
Apparently, the officer next to him was also taken aback by Jack’s tough response.
It wasn’t like I drank for two weeks to see something like this.
“I think I acted cooperatively enough. No matter how much you are a garrison knight, isn’t it too much? He comes to someone else’s business without warning and pulls out his sword without hesitation.”
Yuma looked at Jack and said.
“You’d better make fun of the muzzle, commoner. Very disrespectful.”
Neither Duran Jacques, who dropped the birds, nor Hayes Rollmandi, who dropped the birds, had ever spoken to themselves this way.
Bastards who are not necessarily nothing and cannot cover their excrement and urine by mentioning their status and power.
Yuma pondered for a moment on what to do with this little aristocrat whom he had only heard of, Jack Heujin.
“Cut it then.”
“what?”
“Cut off my arm. After subjugating the demons in the Anten region, it is very unpleasant.”
If the first place of duty was the garrison, it was clear that it would be a knight of at least a sword expert. It was not likely that he had good grades in knight school.
‘Is he a guy who just came up from the province… It’s quite fresh.’
As the atmosphere became threatening, the officer whispered in the knight’s ear.
“That Sir Jack. That friend is Yuma… not an ordinary commoner.
I am a disciple of Sir Duran Jacques.”
It was a voice that even Yuma could hear.
The officer was a person who learned how to behave and notice while eating garrison rice for 15 years. He didn’t want to be hated by either the nobles or Yuma.
It’s just a matter of making a good shape in the middle.
However, even hearing the name of Duran Jacques, Jack did not intend to stop.
Puck!
Jack swung his fist like a hammer and hit the officer in the head.
“What is chivalry! What are the garrison principles? Why does someone else’s name pop up in the place of doing righteous and upright things? If you are Lord Duran’s disciple, do you mean to cover your sins?”
The officer lowered his head and sighed inwardly.
Yuma was no different. That ignorant knight was a man with too much conviction.
He had already come to Yuma with the stigma of ‘the heinous criminal who caused rebellion’.
Stimulating his resonance, who had just risen from the countryside to become a knight, was a piece of cake for the aristocrats in the capital.
“What is your name, officer?”
Yuma asked.
“It’s Mars.”
The officer replied in a weak voice.
“I will remember it.”
“Come on, stay still. If you don’t want your head cut off, not your arm!”
Jack raised his sword high and swung at Yuma’s right arm.
‘Even the swordsmanship is poor…
Yuma quickly swung his black blade right before the blade touched his arm and slashed the knight’s sword.
The left middle knuckle accurately hit the blade of the sword. Then boom!
There was a sound and the steel sword broke.
The broken blade flew all the way to the wall of the drawing room and became lodged in it.
“Oh, stop without me noticing.”
Jack couldn’t even figure out what had happened. I had never heard of or seen the level of punching a sword with a fist and crushing it to the blade.
Without going to a high-level sword master, a sword master could easily block such a crude blow with his bare hands.
However, controlling the aura at that moment to damage the sword was not something anyone could do.
The officer who revealed his name as Mars was also in awe of Yuma’s powerful skills. I thought the rumors were true.
Yuma approached Jack, who had frozen like a man who had lost his soul.
“Sir Jack… Sir Jack doesn’t seem to have much to do for the Empire in the future. You can never enter the Order of the Monk with such trashy skills. If you don’t want to rot in the garrison, keep working hard.”
Yuma spoke into Jack’s ear. Jack gasped, trying to suppress his sense of defeat and anger.
“Did you say Mars? Since you’re in the garrison, you’ll see me often in the future. i look forward to.”
“I see… I see.”
Mars said, putting a hand on Jack’s back.
Yuma took out a small sack of gold coins from her bosom and threw it at Mars.
“It’s Sir Jack’s price. It was enough money to buy 20 bags of cheap steel swords for Joe’s garrison when he passed away.
The nobles who insisted on investigating Yuma only gave half of this money.
Even that was so condescending that it made me think that I should not have taken the money.
But this little sack was so full of gold coins that it didn’t even make a jingling noise.
Mars brightened up and took Jack back to the garrison.
It was a catchy day.
“now! wake up now! Everyone is heading straight to the training ground.
From today, we will resume our normal schedule. to keep your mind straight. Concentrate on training until the next Demon Cave subjugation is announced.”
On the other hand, all the garrison who attacked the cellove unit headquarters where Zecca was located were in a state of fainting.
At first, Zecca couldn’t understand the language, so the garrison tried to take Sivaline by force.
“Ah, if you touch this, you’ll get into trouble!”
“Shut up! Come on, disarm!”
Zecca had no choice but to hand over Sibelin, and at that moment, they all passed out with broken hand bones.
“Yuma, what are you going to do with this?”
Zecca said to Yuma, who led the Cellov members and visited the headquarters.
Five garrison men had been forcibly holding Sybelin, but he lay wounded.
“It’s better. I guess I should sell Kriesha’s name properly.
People will get better in the imperial castle now.”
“what? in Hwangseong? Isn’t the garrison the end?”
“It is not over. I broke the garrison knight’s sword and you knocked out five. I have nothing to say even if I get beheaded right away.”
“True type? True type? Was I still? And break the sword?”
The mention of beheading was a joke.
Yuma now was in a position where no one could be treated carelessly, even by commoners. Unless you’re an ignorant idiot like Jack.
“Someone who is not like you is twisted.”
Yuma smiled.
Zecca continued to emphasize that she was innocent.
The nobles who heard the news that the garrison had been attacked frantically filed appeals to the imperial castle from that day on. There is a sin_••••••.
Dozens of appeals went up to the imperial castle every day. In the first place, the nobles were aiming for this and lured the garrison.
‘Fucking bastards. How could the plan be so crude and simple?’
Empress Asuka Rose was not the type to like useless complaints from nobles.
In order to rule this vast empire, ten bodies were not enough. That is why there were numerous ministers and servants.
However, only the occasional complaint did not get filtered out from below and came up to him.
Empress Asuka Rose wanted to grab all the incompetent bastards who didn’t filter out these stupid complaints and the commoners who couldn’t help but write complaints like idiots and hit their necks.
“Huh…
“His Majesty’s minor aristocrats shouted…
“Shut up, Pornon.”
The eunuch Pornnon bowed his head.
That’s why you can’t really catch all of them and hit their necks.
The Empress sighed and thought of Duran.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Empire, who is the most liked among his subjects.
He reported that he had recaptured the Suher Snow Field a few days ago.
And now his commoner pupil seemed to be hated by the nobles.
‘Incompetent writers. It feels like the future of the empire is getting darker.’
There were dozens of complaints criticizing Yuma every day, but even after washing my eyes, I couldn’t find a story about that insignificant commoner organizing the Anten Cave No. 7 alone.
The Anten region was an abandoned land even from the point of view of the Empire.
It was a waste of national power to deploy troops in such a desolate land, since fertile land was scattered throughout the land.
However, no matter how desolate it was, Anten was also clearly the territory of the Empire. It was also the land where one day, the monsters had to be subdued and the slash-and-burn people had to settle down.
According to White Butterfly’s report, Yuma’s troops slaughtered hundreds of orcs there.
It was much more beneficial to the Empire than sending appeals from minor nobles without pride.
“Call Yuma to the imperial castle. I will speak with the boy myself. And tell them that you will not accept any appeal against Yuma in the future.”
The Empress touched the throne’s ivory armrest and said. Fornon lowered his head and stepped back.
“Oh my God.”
At that time, the second princess, Hella Rose, entered the audience room and bowed down.
“What’s going on?”
“I came to ask you something about the recent appeal of minor nobles.”
“Speak.”
“What do you plan to do to that commoner?”
Hella looked at Asuka and asked.
Recently, she had been taking King lessons with the first princess.
Originally, only the first princess, Jishka Rose, was allowed to take the King class.
And, compared to Zishka, who had been trained as an emperor since childhood, Hella, who was much later than her, was looking at state affairs while reading appeals from nobles.
“What would you do if it were you?”
the empress asked. Hella said the answer she had prepared as if she had expected it.
“If it were me, I would listen to the story first.”
“The reason is that? I will listen to the story of an insignificant commoner first.”
“Because he is not an ordinary commoner. Yuma and other local merchants and heads of some religious organizations are already exercising influence that is difficult to classify as ordinary people.”
“Isn’t that against the strict laws of the empire? My empire is a country with strict laws on lineage and caste.”
“If all the strict rules are followed, I wouldn’t dare to ask my mother a question.”
“Huh”
, that.
It wasn’t clear, but it wasn’t a bad answer.
The Empress flicked her fingers and looked at Hella. In order to hold the empire in their hands, Zishka was too much and Hella was not enough.
The Empress always thought that less than too much was better.
Especially when comparing Zishka and Hela.
“What would your sister do?”
“I think you must have been more extreme than me. Maybe someone will die.”
“Then what do you think I will do?”
“First of all, I think you will listen to the story after banning appeals against Yuma.”
“I saw it right. Why do you not forbid appeals?”
Hella hesitated and couldn’t answer the question.
This was the downside of Hella. The second princess did not speak even though she had a firm reason.
“When Jim asks you to think like an emperor, you must be one too. You lack it.”
The empress wondered why commoner boys had too much of it for the first princess and not enough for the second princess.
He wanted to have a drink with Duran when the Suher expeditionary force returned.
“I will keep that in mind.”
“Go back.”
