Episode 1151. That’s not going to happen.
“…tired of entertaining guests, I went out to the balcony to rest. Then the lacto escudo came along…”
Anais Aetos gritted his teeth, as if the thought of it was terrifying.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
Baron Nancy Walker continued to speak in place of her struggling.
“The rumor that Lakto touched the buttocks… It was said to protect the honor of Lady Anais. The madman put his hand down Miss Anais’s skirt. Then, as if plundering, he tore off Anais’ underwear.”
Fabian’s mouth fell open.
I couldn’t even imagine how delicious it must be to do such a thing to the main character of the coming-of-age ceremony.
“Count Aethos is weak. The chivalry and the gnostic soldier are only about half of the Escudo Count family. Despite this, Prince Terry punched Lacto in the face. The Escudo Count family demanded an apology, and when they refused, they attacked the Aetos Count family.”
“No, you’re asking for an apology because you’re angry with a guy who farts?”
Elio asked with an absurd face.
Of course, even in Gangho, Sapa masters did such shameless things. However, it was shocking that the world’s great aristocrat was so shameless.
“Count Escudo said to Lady Anais, ‘If you go to Lacto and apologize, I will forgive you everything’. Count Aethos could not accept that request. Even in Count Aethos, he’s the one who did bad things to the young lady. By the way, what happened to Count Escudo?”
“It sounds like a big deal.”
Elio tuned in.
Just hearing what would happen to Anais was clear to her eyes.
I could tell just by looking at what Viscount Fides Martello had just done.
A shadow fell on Baron Nancy Walker’s face.
“Anyway, Count Escudo’s right-hand man died and thirteen knights became disabled, so I’m worried.”
“why?”
“Until now, Count Escudo has not waged an all-out war. However, since I suffered a lot today… I will not stand still, even for my pride.”
“Are you saying there could be an all-out war?”
“Yes, then Count Aethos will disappear.”
Baron Nancy Walker glanced at the faces of Viscount Helio Lagoa and Count Omar of Larva.
I heard from Lady Anais what happened while I was unconscious.
Viscount Elio Lagoa killed Viscount Fides Martello and removed the knights’ mana.
I’m sorry, but that alone made it hard to know how strong he was.
Lady Anais trained in swordsmanship, but since she was a beginner, there was no way she could see it.
‘The count and the viscount must be intermediate or advanced sword experts, right?’
If it’s advanced, it might be helpful.
But will the knights of the north try to help an aristocratic family of an empire they don’t even know about, or even a count’s family who is sure to lose in the land battle?
However, he is a knight of Count Aethos.
I have to put an iron plate on my face for the count’s family and cling to the nobles of the north.
This is when she is about to ask for help.
In the meantime, Anais Aethos, who had calmed down, took a step forward.
“Help me, Viscount! Please save Count Aethos! please please We will do everything we can.”
Before answering, Elio looked back at Count Larva Omar. It was because he wondered if the nobility of the kingdom could join the fight of the nobility of the empire.
“What do the nobles of the northern part of the count do in a situation like this?”
“Mostly, you do as your head tells you, but Sir Lagoa, can you do as your heart tells you?”
In fact, compared to imperial nobles, kingdom nobles are nothing more than rural nobles.
It’s the social status or the power you have.
So the kingdom nobility did not want to get involved in the affairs of the nobility of the empire.
It was because he was afraid that the estate and the family would be harmed.
However, in the case of Viscount Helio Lagoa – who must have been the Grand Master – the opposite was true.
Rather, the imperial nobles would have to look at him.
“okay. All right.”
Elio nodded his head with a clear face.
He trusted the political discernment of the great nobleman Count Larva Omar.
Anais Aetos and Baron Nancy Walker looked at Viscount Elio Lagoa with nervous faces.
In a moment of tension, Fabian interrupted.
“Viscount, are you going to stop by? who knows If you do good things, good luck will follow you, right?”
Anais Aetos and Baron Nancy Walker strongly sympathized.
Elio nodded his head with a grave face.
“All right. Let me help you with one arm. Would you two go on your way? Or will you guide us to Count Aethos?”
Anais Aetos and Baron Nancy Walker paused at his question.
It seems like it would be impossible to send only those who said they would help.
Before long, Anais Aetos, the decision maker, opened his mouth.
“We will guide you.”
***
Duchy of Pommernburg.
Florence, Countess of Escudo.
Count Escudo.
“…Then Sir Fides Martello had a hole in his head. After killing Sir Fides Martello, he destroyed all of the knights’ mana holes.”
After the report, Baron Paul Mess looked up at Count Romual Escudo with a sorrowful face.
Count Romual Escudo’s face was distorted to the point of being unsightly.
“Where is that Elio Lagoa?”
“There are people who have seen the carriages of the northern nobles going towards Count Aethos.”
“You mean you went to Count Aethos? Are the knight commanders the nobles of the north?”
Earl Gray Knight Commander answered cautiously.
“That’s right. Helio Lagoa is at least a 4th Circle Mage Earl, a Sword Master.”
Count Romual Escudo gnashed his teeth.
“You believe in the sword master and kill the nobles of the empire casually.”
“I have lost my face.”
The Earl Gray Knight Commander bowed his head.
It is self-reflection for failing to produce results despite the mobilization of the Golden Shield Knights.
Of course, Count Romual Escudo did not blame the knight commander.
“There is nothing wrong with you. Because the only opponent of the Sword Master is the Sword Master. Who is your closest sword master in Pommernburg?”
“I am the Marquis of Hednar.”
“Good.”
Count Romual Escudo was flattered.
It is only three days from the Duchy of Pommernburg to the Duchy of Hednar.
Marquis Hednar always hated northern nobles, so if he found out what the northern nobles did in Pommernburg, he would be thrilled.
Count Romual Escudo, who was thinking hard about something, suddenly asked Baron Paul Mess.
“So where did Anais go?”
“There is someone who has seen them riding in the wagons of northern nobles.”
“Are you going to bring me into Yeongjijeon? To think that the nobility of the empire would join hands with the nobility of the north and fight for the territory… Puhahaha! Anais must have been very surprised.”
If this happens, it can be seen that Marquis Hednar will come running unconditionally.
After a while, Earl Gray Knight Commander, who received a special order from Count Romual Escudo, left for the Principality of Hednar.
***
Duchy of Pommernburg.
Edmund, County of Aethos.
around noon.
A quadruped carriage, apparently belonging to a nobleman, stopped in front of Count Aethos’s family.
Baron Nancy Walker, who was sitting next to the driver’s seat and giving directions, jumped down and opened the carriage door.
Eventually, Anais Aetos and Elio’s party got off the wagon one by one.
Count Aethos, who secretly tried to steal Anais Aethos, was turned upside down.
Yeongju Castle Central Hall.
Baron Nancy Walker told the story of what had happened before Count Stephen Aetos.
“…After that, Lady Anais asked for help from Viscount Elio Lagoa. Viscount Elio Lagoa accepted that request and brought it back.”
The sighs of the nobles of Count Aethos could be heard from all over the central hall.
Count Stephen Aetos looked at the northern nobles with complicated eyes.
Rescuing her daughter was a thankless thing, but it was never desirable for a northern nobleman to kill an imperial nobleman and participate in the territory war.
The relationship between empires and kingdoms is vertical, not horizontal.
It’s already a big problem that the northern nobles killed the imperial nobles, but they even intervene in the territory war?
Imperial nobles could have come forward to help Count Escudo.
If that happens, the family of Count Aethos will come to an end.
Of course, the end would be the same without the help of the northern nobility, but
Count Steven Aetos, who had thought that far, slowly opened his mouth.
“Count Larva Omar, Viscount Elio Lagoa and…”
He blurted out when he couldn’t remember the name of the last young knight.
Fabian quickly revealed himself.
“I am Baron Fabian Cloud.”
“Ah, Baron Fabian Cloud. I am truly grateful to all three of you. But let’s think a little more about helping the Yeongjijeon.”
Count Stephen Aetos wanted to protect his honor if it was a territory battle that he would lose anyway.
Then Vincent Aetos, the count’s eldest son, took a step forward.
“Lord, it is a battle that is difficult to win even if we pour everything we have. All the surrounding lords sided with Count Escudo. If anyone is willing to help, I see no reason to refuse.”
The Count’s second son, Terry Aetos, also helped.
“Your brother is right. There are no nobles in Pommernburg to help us anyway. But why should we care about the other nobles?”
Count Stephen Aetos looked at his sons with sorrowful eyes.
If you fight only with the power of Count Aethos, in the worst case, you will only lose the territory.
However, allying with a northern aristocrat could have been an honor killing.
So, you shouldn’t react emotionally like a person nearing the end.
He winked at Viscount Zech Purcell, the leader of the Black Eagle Knights.
If he is conservative, he will speak for himself.
But what is it?
Viscount Zech Purcell, whom I trusted, said something nonsensical.
“Your lord, what Count Escudo wants is not only the territory. If you don’t win, a life worse than death will be waiting for you. Would you mind anyway?”
“So you’re saying we shouldn’t refuse the help of the northern nobles?”
“Two sword experts will be a great force.”
The head of the Knights Zech Purcell considered the count and viscount of the north to be sword experts.
Two sword experts are equivalent to one company.
It was a greatly welcomed event in the position of Count Aethos.
Count Stephen Aetos looked at the northern nobles with new eyes.
‘I know it’s poison, but if I don’t drink it right away, I’ll die.’
Then Count Larva Omar’s heavy voice resounded in the central hall.
“I don’t know where you got this information, but I’m not a sword expert, I’m a sword master.”
“…”
Silence fell in the central hall for a moment.
The Count of the North is not a Sword Expert, but a Sword Master.
Count Stephen Aetos jumped up and approached Count Omar of Larva.
“Is His Excellency really a sword master?”
Count Larva Omar drew his sword instead of answering.
Ugh-!
A dazzling beam of light stretched out from the tip of the longsword for a meter.
It is a mana blade that only sword masters can use.
Count Stephen Aetos said with a mixed feeling.
“The Sword Master’s involvement can further escalate things. Maybe it will escalate into a problem between the Kingdom of Baylem and the Empire.”
Then Count Larva Omar laughed.
“As long as Lord Lagoa is here, that will not happen.”
