Heavenly Inquisition Sword Chapter 1067

Episode 1067. Do you have any rational interest?

the evening before.

Hirhera Baylem Kingdom Army Garrison.

The command and control barracks of the Kingdom of Baylem.

Viscount Reiner Simpson, chief of staff, continued to report on the situation with a sad face.

“…In the Crete company that was monitoring the rift, all 350 people under company commander Quen Dinos were killed, and the garrison troops were 180 people dead… but with more than 100 seriously injured, the number of deaths is expected to rise further.”

“How is the situation of the Escatos Kingdom Army?”

To the question of the Marquis of Retona Ground, the general, the Chief of Staff replied with an apologetic face.

“We know that there were one hundred and fifty casualties.”

“How many deaths?”

“I know of sixty-three people so far.”

A heavy silence fell over the conference hall.

The annihilation of the rift monitoring unit at the forefront is unavoidable, but the damage to the garrison is different.

The difference in casualties under identical conditions was too pronounced.

The great nobility thought, ‘This single battle is as if the difference in strength between the Kingdom of Escatos and the Kingdom of Baylem was revealed.’

Sword master and enemy Duke Herbert Liberato, who had been listening silently, opened his mouth.

“It’s not called the sword master a one-man army for nothing. Aren’t there two sword masters and Baron Helio Lagoa over there? It’s a natural result, so don’t blame yourself too much.”

It was only then that the expression of the great nobles, who had been stiff as if they had obtained indulgences, relaxed.

Maybe they all wanted to hear it from Duke Herbert Liberato.

Duke Herbert Liberato’s attention was elsewhere.

“Especially, Baron Elio Lagoa is an excellent swordsman to the point of being called the guardian of Hiruhera. Until now, the only swordsman who had defeated the Sword Master was Archduke Hannes Knauf of the Empire. But after 50 years, a figure like Archduke Hannes Knauf emerged from the northern periphery. Do you know what this means?”

At the sudden question, the nobles looked at each other with puzzled faces.

As if not expecting an answer, Duke Herbert Liberato continued.

“Archduke Hannes Knauf led the Imperial War to victory fifty years ago. The sword masters of the kingdom lost to him, so maybe it was a natural result. We might have retreated from Hirhera had it not been for Baron Helio Lagoa. Baron Elio Lagoa is a swordsman who can decide the fate of the northern kingdoms. The royal family who obtains him will seize hegemony in the north.”

Only then did the great aristocrats, who understood the meaning, became agitated.

According to Duke Herbert Liberato, nothing good happened to the Kingdom of Baylem.

“The Escatos royal family will pay attention to him, so it will not be easy to take him out. Even so, I can’t just open my eyes and watch. Are there any nobles in the kingdom of Baylem who are acquainted with Baron Elio Lagoa?”

“Yes, Anna Logan of the Knights of Seletus is learning martial arts from Baron Elio Lagoa.”

“Are you talking about Count Logan’s daughter?”

“you’re right.”

“Oh…”

A sigh escaped Duke Herbert Liberato’s mouth.

To think that the daughter of Count Logan had a close relationship with Baron Elio Lagoa!

It was an embarrassing sound to him, who hadn’t revealed it outwardly, but was slightly leaning toward the emperor, Giannis Liberato.

If Prince Il became king, the Logan family would fall.

It would be better if it collapsed.

The new king’s entourage could get rid of them without even knowing mice or birds.

It may seem cruel at first glance, but that was the fate of the counts who went wrong.

and now.

A heavy silence hung over the barracks.

The sword master and enemy Duke Herbert Liberato, who was staring at Anna Logan with strange eyes, chined the Marquis Letona Ground, the general.

Then, the Marquis of Letona Ground waved his hand at the Knight Commander and Vice-Captain.

it means get out

Count Zorba Amicus and Baron Julie Greenwood walked backwards out of the barracks.

Before long, Duke Herbert Liberato’s mouth opened.

“Anna Logan. I heard that you are close to Baron Elio Lagoa. Is it true?”

“Yes, I am learning chess from him.”

“As a man and a woman? As master and disciple?”

“yes?”

Anna Logan looked at Duke Herbert Liberato with bewildered eyes.

“It is literally. They are asking exactly what kind of relationship he has with Baron Helio Lagoa.”

“You can call them master and disciple.”

“Hmm. How long have you known him?”

“Oh, that’s…”

Anna Logan explained how she met Baron Elio Lagoa while wandering around the garrison.

“…After that, I even learned taijutsu.”

“…”

Duke Herbert Liberato looked at Anna Logan curiously.

It’s a coincidence, but I’m not sure why.

However, until then, Baron Elio Lagoa’s swordsmanship was not known to the Baylem Kingdom, so it was difficult to see that he approached it intentionally.

‘Anyway, that’s not what’s important.’

Now I had to figure out what Anna Logan’s purpose was.

“with pleasure. So let’s move on to the next question. I heard that you volunteered for the garrison dispatch mission. You and Baron Julie Greenwood, the vice-captain of the Seletus Knights, are the only daughters of the count family here in Hirherae. Unlike Baron Julie Greenwood, who was ordered to transfer, you are a support. Why?”

“Goodbye to the kingdom…

.”

His enemy, Duke Herbert Liberato, cut off his words coldly.

The sword master’s mountain-like momentum instantly pressed down the barracks.

Terrified, Anna Logan unwittingly confided her feelings.

“There were several kidnapping crises in the capital. I applied because I thought I wouldn’t have to go through that kind of thing if I lived in the barracks in the garrison.”

“Is that also because of Count Gerald Logan?”

“yes.”

Only then did Duke Herbert Liberato regain his breathless momentum.

“I understand that your father, Earl Gerald Logan, supports Prince Lee, Theo Liberato. How far is the Lord involved?”

“Are you involved?”

“It means that you were actively helping Count Logan.”

“Not at all.”

Duke Herbert Liberato nodded as if he understood.

It seems that the nobles on the side of the Emperor kidnapped her and tried to pressure Count Logan.

“This is the end of public affairs. Now let me ask you some personal questions. Sit back.”

Duke Herbert Liberato pointed to an empty chair across from him.

Anna Logan, who blinked with a bewildered expression, cautiously sat down.

“In your eyes, what kind of person does Baron Elio Lagoa look like?”

“What kind of person do you say you are?”

“That’s what Count Putocoa calls him a traitor.”

“Not like that. You’ve never even received a title in Putokoa, yet you’re a traitor. Absolutely not. It is nothing more than malicious gossip from Count Putocoa.”

“Don’t get excited. Then tell me who you are.”

“He is honest and straightforward in everything he does.”

“I will. Do you think that if the wonders fall into crisis, they might come running to Baylem Kingdom?”

“You’re going to drop everything and run.”

“is it. I don’t know if I should like this or hate it.”

“…”

Anna Logan did not reveal her inner feelings.

Duke Herbert Liberato, who was staring at her, said.

“Tell me honestly. I am not on the side of either Prince I or Prince Lee. To be precise, it was closer to the Prince of Japan, but that doesn’t mean that there was no promise between them. Do you know what that means?”

“yes.”

“What do you think of Prince Kyung-eun?”

“….”

Anna Logan couldn’t open her mouth easily because the content was not positive.

“I won’t take issue with anything you say, so feel free to say it. I’m doing this because I want to hear your honest opinion.”

“I think you are an irresponsible idiot…”

“I can’t say it’s not because of the public opinion. Still, there are many aristocrats who support the Japanese prince. Why do you think?”

“They set up the Japanese prince as a scarecrow and they want to share the power.”

“Which do you think would be better, with the foolish Prince I as king and the nobles ruling the country, or with Prince Lee ruling the country?”

“That’s…”

Anna Logan didn’t answer easily.

nobles and kings.

I’ve never thought of it that way, but the more I think about it, the more vague it feels.

Duke Herbert Liberato’s eyes softened as he watched her.

“Isn’t that an easy choice? After all, history is written by the strong. Tell Count Gerald Logan. There is only one condition for me to support Prince Lee. To forgive the aristocrats who sided with the Japanese prince. If you promise me that, I will stand by Prince Lee’s side.”

“yes?”

Anna Logan opened her eyes.

Duke Herbert Liberato will stand by Prince Lee.

If the marshal of the kingdom of Baylem decided, it was clear that Prince Lee would become the king.

“That is fate. The only daughter of Countess Hierherae is Sir and Baron Julie Greenwood. If Baron Julie Greenwood had a friendship with Baron Elio Lagoa, the throne would have gone to the Japanese prince.”

“…”

Duke Herbert Liberato asked Anna Logan, who was looking at him with a surprised face.

“By the way, do you have any rational interest in Baron Elio Lagoa?”

“…”

In an instant, Anna Logan’s face turned red.

Taking that as a sign of affirmation, Duke Herbert Liberato said firmly.

“If you have it, stake everything and catch it. Because in the future he will decide the fate of the northern kingdom. Or maybe even the fate of the continent…”

Anna Logan replied in a crawling voice.

“I will try.”

Duke Herbert Liberato, who was looking at Anna Logan with a satisfied face, turned to the chief of staff.

“There was a kidnapping attempt in the royal capital. Are there any problems around Sir Anna Logan?”

“The vice-captain of the Seletus Knights, Baron Julie Greenwood, is of the Emperor’s faction.”

“Right.”

Duke Herbert Liberato frowned.

Then the chief of staff spoke cautiously.

“If the enemy has decided to support Prince Lee, it is necessary to send a clear message to Prince Il. Shouldn’t there be no bloodshed even after the coronation ceremony?”

“Is there a good way?”

“I think we can demote Baron Julie Greenwood to knight and appoint Sir Anna Logan as vice-captain.”

“I will be officially appointed tomorrow. If you become the vice-captain, there will be less restrictions on your movement, right?”

“Anyway, the vice-captain is more free than the knights.”

“Sir Anna Logan. did you hear From tomorrow, spend more time with Baron Elio Lagoa.”

“yes? yes!”

Anna Logan responded in a determined tone, like someone on a serious assignment. It was because I was ashamed to die if I didn’t do that.

***

Next day.

Hirhera Escatos Kingdom Army Garrison.

Marquis Bernardo’s camp.

Someone approached Fabian, who had been busy practicing swordsmanship since morning.

It was Anna Logan.

Fabian, who found her belatedly, put down the sword he was wielding.

“Did you visit the company commander?”

“no. I just came here to get some advice on training.”

“Ah yes. What advice do you need?”

“Baron Lagoa told me to send mana into his veins… is Sir Fabian doing that?”

“aha! If that’s the case, you don’t have to obsess over the word blood vessels.”

“Don’t obsess?”

“I had a hard time with that at first too. Rather than thinking of blood vessels as pathways through which blood flows… I simplified it a bit and thought of it as a location.”

“Location?”

“Yes, in my case, I thought it was arms, chest, and shoulders… and it worked out well.”

“aha!”

Anna Logan nodded happily.

To not have to obsess over blood vessels makes me feel relieved.
