Episode 39. Duran Runaway (1)
The sky was still clear outside.
After hearing Zishka’s story, Yuma looked up at the sky blankly for a moment.
It was a terrible story that did not go well with such a clear and beautiful day.
“Yuma. What are you thinking? How do you give the princess a chance?”
“Well, first of all, it’s important that Archduke Winslting was added to the list of guys to kill. First of all, Your Highness said he was hiding the fact that he came back to his senses, so he’ll pass the information on Heize to me.”
“Kill the empress’s husband.”
“It’s unreasonable to kill Hayes and Winslting right away. First of all, we have to kill Varys.”
“I know they are motherfuckers. But it didn’t directly cause any damage to you, did it?”
“Existence itself must avoid me.”
The Empire was not enough to prepare for the Dragon Horse War from now on. In such a situation, the dirty power struggle was in itself a nuisance to Yuma.
‘Are you fearlessly attracting demons?
You scumbags.’
Although I heard unpleasant stories of immorality and betrayal, things worked out much better than expected.
It took at least three weeks for Yoheim’s full story to be revealed.
In the meantime, Zishka made a pact to hand over information about Wonsel Ting and Heize Varis to Yuma.
The black magician’s whereabouts would also be much easier to find out if Zishka directly identified them.
“You did a great job this time. Drugs were a problem I hadn’t even considered.”
“Sooner or later you will have to help me too.
The rose society is not yet ready to welcome a new owner. It’s your job anyway, isn’t it?”
“You mean help with the purge?”
“then. The best way to subjugate thugs is by force.”
“Are you strong enough?”
“There are several other monsters in the Rose Society besides me. Like the former president.”
“okay. Let’s get things sorted out here first.”
Natalie and Yuma returned to the Zach family.
Natalie still needed more therapy and rest. She too has to recover as soon as possible and return to organize the rose society.
“How did it go?”
It was Duran who was waiting for Yuma at the mansion of the Zach family. Duran had already emptied a barrel of wine, which was quite complicated.
It was worth it.
If Zishka was involved with Joheim, he might have to kill him with his own hands. Before we grew apart, she was still a lovely princess.
Duran knew Hayes’ personality better than anyone else. The guy was already ready to get out.
Yuma told Duran what had happened at Varys’ mansion.
Until -!
The bronze cup Duran was holding crumpled like a piece of paper. Duran couldn’t control his emotions to the extent that his body trembled.
At the point where he heard that the seller of ‘roses’ was ‘rose society’, Duran glared at Natalie as if he were going to kill him. It had the momentum to cut off Natalie’s breath at any moment.
“Hyeop!”
Natalie, who had not regained even one-fifth of her usual energy, had a hard time enduring Duran’s gaze.
It was as if a rock had been placed on his shoulders. Even Yuma, who was standing next to him, felt his entire body tingle.
“Don’t you know, Master, that it’s not the rose society’s fault?
Take your anger away. On the contrary, if it hadn’t been for Natalie, I wouldn’t have even figured out this division.”
“If I hadn’t sold such dirty drugs… the princess wouldn’t have ended up like that!”
“If I put it that way, if I hadn’t killed Zeka halfway, Joachim wouldn’t have ended up like that. Me and Natalina are the same.
If you’re going to keep getting angry, pour it out on me too. You can beat it until the anger is relieved.”
Catherine and Randell were also watching the scene.
Even Catherine hid her words when Duran was so angry. It was unimaginable to dare to act like Yuma.
However, Duran’s burning eyes gradually subsided.
“…after. You’re right. But I can’t help being angry at that child.”
“From now on, ‘Rose’ will be completely discarded, Master. Since the Jangmihoe is now going to be part of my family, I’m thinking of moving the stage to Yangji.”
Soon, Duran became sad and poured wine into a new glass.
He remembered Zishka’s old appearance. On the day Zishka was born, it was Duran and Heize Winslting who stayed by the Empress’s side during the birth.
The name Jishka was also given after the empress and the three of them contemplated together. It means ‘the strongest and noblest woman’.
She was the first princess born amidst so many blessings.
After Zishka was born, festivals were held throughout the empire, and for several months local lords visited the capital to offer blessings and congratulations.
“Little Zishka… Since I was a child, I have been unruly. Although she had a cruel temper, she was still an intelligent and noble girl. Why did I suddenly want to get upset when my personality became more twisted from a few years ago?”
Yuma also filled a glass with wine and drank it at once. It was the same with Yuma.
“But it was because of the drugs… you Winslting son of a bitch. How could your own daughter! the princess! I will immediately inform your Majesty and Hella about all this and tear him to death with my own hands!”
“I agree with you tearing your father to death. But that’s not a very good way.”
Catherine, who had been listening to the story with her arms folded, opened her mouth.
“you’re right. Master. His Majesty Yuma sighed in the middle of his speech.
“Yes… His Majesty will not kill Winslting. Same goes for Hayes. Perhaps only Lord Zishka will be executed.”
The Empress did not kill her husband no matter what.
Even when Winslting had an affair with a commoner woman and gave birth to Cindy Mew, the Empress was not guilty.
I just assigned Cindy Mew to the Imperial Family Special Entrusted Corps and naturally waited for her to die during the mission.
Instead, Duran Jacques beat Winslting just enough to keep him from dying without the empress’ name. Because of that, the empress slapped Duran on the cheek for the first and last time.
Moreover, if the eldest daughter, whom she hated so much, was Joachim’s main culprit, the empress would blame all of Winslting’s sins on her daughter.
“Master, the darkness still remains. We also need to find the whereabouts of the black magician. Also, it is unknown whether Amanzo is currently on the run or has been killed by the sorcerer. You have to be careful.”
“Even though I fell out of love with Zishka, I once loved her like a daughter. It kept getting more and more cruel and eccentric, until we ended up holding a grudge against each other.”
It was a voice immersed in deep remorse.
“It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have pushed it out just because it was out of line, but I should have looked into why.”
“No one would have imagined that the deterioration was due to drugs. Don’t blame me.”
“Yuma. What should I do?
Can you save the poor Zishka?”
“Father, that is unreasonable. 〒 Whether you’re drunk or not, Jishka’s job is to take advantage of all the demons. It’s true again. It’s a situation where you might be able to get rid of Heize immediately.”
“Isn’t there a testimonial testimony? The testimony of the lower Zishka!”
“To testify, you must also admit to being under the influence of drugs.
How will Winslting and Hayes use that fact in their trial?
Also, if we submit the sale details of the rose meeting as evidence, only we will lose.”
“Aaaaaagh! stop! stop! I’m just going to go and destroy all of Rollmandy’s right now. I just can’t stand it!”
It was as if a dragon was roaring right next to it. Under the pressure of that energy, Catherine stumbled and almost fell.
When Duran’s roar reverberated through the mansion, the nobles except for those who were well-trained shuddered.
Not to mention the servants. Thinking there was an earthquake, they fell on their faces and bowed their heads.
Damn it!
Unable to hold back his anger, Duran punched the pole. The thick marble columns cracked and crumbled like eggshells.
“Randell! Bring on the Starbuster!
I will erase Rollmandy’s name from the world today!”
Even a few days ago, it was contrary to Duran’s position that ‘Heize is necessary for the country, so even if you hate him, you cannot kill him’.
Duran was a somewhat simple-minded soldier, but he was not so indiscriminate. However, after listening to Zishka’s story, it exploded.
“uncle! Calm down!”
The mischievous Randel also shouted with a serious expression. Even on the battlefield, it was rare to see Duran turned like that.
“What are you doing! Go ahead, bring me the Starbuster!”
“uncle! It’s not possible!”
“why? Why not?”
“uncle!”
‘It happened. I couldn’t believe Master had gone this far.’
Duran was striding to his room where the Starbuster was hanging.
thump thump!
With every step he took, the marble floor caved in.
‘Crazy… is that a human?’
Natalie opened her eyes wide and glanced at the sunken marble floor.
Reason has just completely blown away.
In Duran’s head, only one obsession remained: to kill Haze Roll Mandy and Winslting Rozef.
“father! Are you crazy!?”
Catherine briefly blocked Duran’s path.
“Get out of the way.”
“Father, it is me! Catherine!”
“Move.”
“Yuma! Stop uncle quickly!”
How do you mean to stop that?
The fighting spirit felt from Duran’s back had the pressure to pulverize the target in one blow, even if he approached and touched it lightly.
Randell sprinted up the stairs of the mansion. It was to take care of his twin swords.
Duran alone was able to completely destroy the defenseless mansion and massacre its family.
If so, the empire will soon be divided into two forces and will enter a state of civil war.
Due to the runaway of only one person.
Numerous civilian victims will come out, vassals will gain power, and funeral processions will not stop in Hale, the capital, for a while.
After Duran Jacques regained his reason.
It was a situation that could come true. It wasn’t even funny. What could be a more mischievous joke than this?
Yuma was on the verge of dizziness.
The people with the name ‘strongest’ were dangerous in this respect. If you go wrong to the limit, the aftermath will disappear completely.
“father! hey! Duran! You crazy man!”
Catherine shouted at Duran’s back in an urgent voice.
Duran was going up the stairs step by step.
“Miss Natalie. Please evacuate everyone in the mansion immediately.”
Both of Yuma’s tightly clenched fists were already glowing with a bright blue light.
“I will try to stop Master.”
It was dozens of times more tense than when dealing with the Secrons that Amanzo dwelled in. Maybe even more so than when I met Hugo.
‘under. I wish I could die I knew that the teacher was a man without answers, but…
Yuma swallowed dry saliva and rushed at Duran. Twelve aura spheres were wrapped around Yuma’s body.
