Solo Eating to Overpowered Chapter 131

Episode 131 〈 Lord Gerald 〉

“Charlotte.”

At one word from Allen, Charlotte pulled out her sword and pointed it at Lord Gerald.

Lord Gerald did not waver even when the sword was in front of him.

Rather, he was facing the sword calmly.

Allen looked at Lord Gerald. I frowned as I looked at him.

That’s a lot of courage.

It looks like he’s no longer just a coward after accomplishing a feat of stopping the undead in Ronia.

‘This is giving me a headache.’

Allen had a hard time suppressing the urge to press his temples.

Who would have thought that a cowardly lord would plot a rebellion on such a grand scale.

‘And what? For me?’

This is a very dangerous statement:

‘It’s like I’m the leader of a rebel army.’

What would happen if this story were to be passed on to Seonghwang Celt?

‘He might end up on the scaffold like Brother Rupel.’

Allen swallowed dry saliva and tried to speak calmly.

“Am I successful? That’s not even funny. Why did you do that?”

Lord Gerald smiled bitterly.

He leaned his forehead against his, and said,

“Once upon a time, an earl was killed and a celebration was held.”

The Vampire Count invaded Ronia and defeated it.

A celebratory banquet was held in the capital Laurensis, and Lord Gerald was invited.

“I saw it then.”

Lord Gerald looked at Allen and frowned,

“…Everyone is ignoring you, Prince.”

Lord Gerald couldn’t help but be shocked.

Although he was a hero who personally took the lead, defeated the Earl, and saved tens of thousands of people.

The nobles looked at such a hero with disapproving looks and sneered whispers.

Is that all?

Even the king of kings raised his grandson. I ignored it.

The only brother who inherited my mother’s blood was cursed and went crazy. He tried to kill the 7th prince and eventually even challenged him to a sparring match. In

the end, the 7th prince ended up being imprisoned.

Power and authority. A shabby prince who had no one.

It would not have been surprising if he was exiled again or killed at any time in the struggle for power.

No one supported him or tried to be his ally.

He only existed alone and alone.

“That’s because.”

Lord Gerald expressed what he felt and raised his head to face Allen confidently.

“That’s why I wanted to become the prince’s confidant.”

That’s why Lord Gerald worked hard.

After being promoted to earldom, he was able to receive support from the royal family.

Huge subsidies, supplies provided every year, and prisoners who gradually became more skilled and awakened.

Everything was being prepared.

The private soldiers he was raising. The prisoners also all supported the 7th Prince.

If the 7th Prince was pushed out in a power struggle or threatened by someone, they wanted to protect him.

Even if it was a rebellion, it was okay.

If not him, who else would be worthy of the position of Holy Emperor?

But,

“…it was a futile effort.”

The 7th Prince denied it.

Seeing that, Lord Gerald smiled bitterly and nodded.

It was a futile effort. That was correct

. The 7th Prince was not as weak as Lord Gerald thought.

He came out of prison on his own and fought. He even rescued his older brother and hunted vampires.

In Aslan’s war, he was credited with rescuing a princess and defeating an emperor. He personally defeated Michael, the head of the Chaolium Church, who had started a rebellion in Korea. He prevented a

civil war in the Kingdom of Rom and brought down Irans. It appears that he performed another activity.

As his achievements accumulated, the people supported the 7th Prince, and even the prosperous Celts now designated him as their successor.

There was no need for Gerald himself to step forward.

“I see. I underestimate the Prince too much.” “It looks like it has been evaluated.”

The 7th Prince felt sincere joy as he grew up and was recognized by everyone.

At the same time, he was bitter that his efforts were in vain. Instead, he was burdened with guilt over the charge of rebellion that could have harmed the 7th Prince.

This is hard to just ignore. It’s a sin.

Even the royal family will not let it go.

Even the prisoners, including Lord Gerald, will be accused of rebellion.

Power was put into Lord Gerald’s hands.

‘Instead of helping, it only hindered.’

Regardless of the 7th prince’s intentions, he raised troops, and this came to the attention of the Holy Emperor family.

The nobles will plead that such forces should be suppressed.

The 7th Prince may be deprived of his position as the successor to the Holy Emperor.

At that thought, I thought, Lord Nuld lamented inwardly,

‘It was pointless…’

At that time, the 7th Prince opened his mouth,

“The troops you have created can cause great chaos in the Holy Emperor’s Kingdom. But.”

Lord Gerald looked at Allen,

“On the contrary, it could be of great help to the royal family.”

Lord Gerald’s eyes widened.

Allen smiled slightly and stood up.

It was obviously a big deal, but Allen said it was no big deal.

“For the details, write a report and submit it to the Holy Emperor. But!”

Allen put his hand on Lord Gerald’s shoulder.

He gave strength to his hand and said,

“I would also like to add that this was done in secret to defend the North and to create an army to stop the vampires.”

Lord Gerald nodded with a puzzled expression.

To be honest, this is an unconvincing story.

Because the training of clergy began long before that.

However, as many people are needed, the Prosperity Kingdom will also need time to think.

“Okay… I will do that. But won’t that put the prince in trouble?”

‘What should I do now that I’m thinking about that?’

Allen shook his head inwardly.

The situation has already become difficult.

However, you cannot leave the seeds you sow alone.

“Nothing will get better if you tell me. “It is for the Holy Emperor to decide.”

“…”

“I will also tell the Holy Emperor about the disposition of you, Lord Gerald.”

It was one of the few relationships I had. Additionally, as they obeyed Allen, they were also a necessary force to deal with vampires.

If we abandon Lord Gerald like this, the clergy army that has just begun to be formed will become meaningless.

Perhaps Lord Gerald would be okay too. If you present your achievements so far, the Seonghwang family will be somewhat generous in handling serious crimes.

If you simply hand over the troops to the Holy Family, the Holy Kingdom Celts will not be too angry.

Although Celts are impulsive, they tend to think of their country first.

‘Of course, I’ll have to convince you too.’

It was Allen who requested the investigation in the first place.

Because of that, the Seonghwang family also investigated the north and found out about this fact. Even the Seonghwang family must have guessed what was the reason.

“If something like this happens next time, please consult with me first. Otherwise, it’s embarrassing.”

Lord Gerald said, his shoulders slumping.

“I will be careful.”

Allen looked at Charlotte.

“Arrest Lord Gerald. “First of all, I can’t just leave you alone in the face of suspicion.”

“All right.”

Charlotte lowered her head.

Allen said, looking at Lord Gerald before leaving the room.

“If you pray and pray to His Majesty, your life will be preserved.”

“Try to convince me well.”

Allen closed the door and left.

Charlotte sheathed her sword.

Seeing the sword being sheathed, Lord Gerald seemed to have relaxed, so he leaned back on the sofa and broke into a cold sweat.

‘I’m alive, right?’

To be honest, just a moment ago, I had no idea what he was thinking about being so confident.

The joy of meeting the 7th prince, the sadness that he might be harmed, and the complex emotions of being relieved even if he was killed by the 7th prince were mixed together.

And when Allen disappeared, the fear of almost dying came later.

‘I caused trouble again.’

There was nothing the peaceful rural lord could do for the prince.

Lord Gerald sighed.

When the report is uploaded, one of two decisions will be made.

[Exile] or [Disposal].

Still, there is one good thing.

Even if he didn’t know it himself, at least the prisoners and soldiers here in Ronia would not be disposed of.

‘This must also be the mercy of Goddess Gaia and the saint.’

Lord Gerald put his hands together and prayed.

As a believer, he intended to follow whoever he wanted to serve to the end.

That was Gaia and the current 7th Prince, Allen Allpols.

**

“I’m going crazy.”

I shook my head as I walked down the hallway of the mansion.

Gerald is a lord who was driven out to the north for tax evasion in the past.

In fact, it later became known that even that was a false accusation, and the Emperor personally ordered him to be sent back to his former territory, but he volunteered to stay in the north.

The reason was this.

Also, what was that reaction just now?

It was like a fanatic.

I was possessed by faith and fear did not exist. A pseudo-appearance that moves on its own without brakes.

Although he had no hostility towards me, he did not hesitate to commit an act that could be a threat.

“Elise was right.”

It is said that among ancient saints, there are those who can create believers.

Riding the Bone Wyvern went further than the explanation I heard from Ellis.

If this is the case, you may not be able to control it.

Seonghwangga must observe and see with his own eyes.

“So, it’s not just here, right?”

I walked down the hallway and placed my chin on my chin.

The slaves in the Black Order in Aslan will definitely have an influence as well.

As Princess Tinya used her holy power, those slaves would also have an influence.

The same goes for the refugees we rescued from the Roman Kingdom.

“There are too many.”

My head is pounding.

I used my holy power without hesitation to save people, but I never thought it would be this much uncontrollable power.

I thought I knew everything about the skills to use. I was too conceited.

With that in mind, I walked away and looked out the window.

A little distance away from the mansion, prisoners are passing by in formation.

Everyone was holding shovels, so it looked like they were going to clear snow.

There is someone who stands out at that time.

“…older brother?”

It’s Rupel.

No, according to the report I heard from Harman, he created a new identity with the help of Lord Gerald.

What was your name?

[Name: Shupel

Age: 27

Characteristics: Gaegwacheonseon Excellent spear skill Excellent body Strong holy power Characteristics of the Holy Army

+ There is only atonement. Let’s set a goal and save people.]

I looked at Shupel moving away through my mind’s eye.

Characteristics have changed.

“…There really is such a thing as reformation and heavenly goodness.”

I looked at his features with an expression of surprise.

Before that, the name was also completely changed.

Is that what happens if you change your name?

It was time to think about that.

Hans was approaching from across the hallway, holding a gourd in his hand.

“uh! “Prince, it just turned out well!”

I looked at Hans.

Hans ran to me.

The gourd in my hand contained the sap of the man-eating plant that I had asked to add holy water to some time ago.

Hans shook the bottle and held it out to me.

“Try this!”

“…What is this?”

I was given a gourd.

As I opened the cork with my hand, a foul smell wafted into the hallway.

The servants and maids who were far away frowned and looked at us.

I also frowned at the disgusting smell.

“It’s more disgusting than the smell of a rotting corpse.”

“Yes?”

Hans smiled confidently while covering his nose.

“Try it!”

“Are you really trying to get revenge for causing me trouble?”

I glared at Hans.

Then Hans waved his hand.

“It can’t be. “It is an elixir that is good for your body.”

“Elixir?”

“It helps relieve fatigue and heal naturally. And it will also help with growth speed. Of course, it may not be very effective for the prince. It’s too strong….” “

Growth speed?”

I tilted my head and asked.

Hans nodded.

“Aren’t there some priests? They train by drinking holy water to speed up their growth… Although it doesn’t work for high-ranking priests.”

There is, but the holy water is expensive and the effectiveness is not very high, so most priests are reluctant to use it.

“It will be twice as effective as that.”

“What about clinical trials?”

“Who am I? Aren’t I a genius?”

Hans tightened his neck and pounded his chest and said,

“If that’s me, then so be it.”

“…Drink it.”

Hans frowned as he spoke while holding out a gourd.

He took the gourd.

“How dare you doubt the prince and I, even though our relationship has been going on for several years.”

“It hasn’t been that long since I met you.”

“Look carefully. “How good is this…”

Hans drank the elixir from the vial.

Put it in your mouth and swallow it.

And…

“Ouch!”

he covered his mouth.

Hans made a disgusted face and tried to open the window to spit out vomit. He

covered his mouth with both hands as if he was trying to hold it in.

“…Precious. “Can I just throw up?”

“It was so disgusting… and I didn’t vomit. This precious thing is hard to find anywhere in the world.”

Hans leaned against the wall with difficulty. I

called a maid in the hallway to help him.

I looked at Hans and shook my head.

“I don’t need it. You said it would have little effect on me anyway?”

Hans, who was supported by the maid, broke out in a cold sweat and said with difficulty,

“That’s true, but I’m telling you to give it to an acquaintance as a gift.”

“…I’m going to hear a lot of swearing.”

I shook the gourd Hans held out. At the same time, I glanced out the window. Before I knew it, I

couldn’t see my brother. He

must have been on duty.

He must have been mobilized there because the removal of undead bodies was in full swing. After

thinking about it carefully, I asked Hans.

“This is it.” “Did you say it’s good for relieving fatigue?”

“Yes, it is, but the taste is disgusting and painful.”

I smiled mischievously.

It would be fun to tease my older brother after a long time.

**

The sun began to set.

As darkness came, the prisoners who were disposing of undead corpses outside of Ronia began to enter the territory.

“Hey, Mr. Gravedigger! “It’s dangerous at night. Finish your work and withdraw!”

One of the prisoners shouted at Schupel.

Still, Schupel put the undead corpses in a cart and dragged them away to clean up after them.

“I’ll just do a little more.”

Scheufel, sweating, said calmly. Looking at him, the prisoners made eye contact and shrugged their shoulders.

“He’s out of his mind.”

“You’re working like you’re possessed by something.”

“From what I heard, he said he committed a big sin. I don’t know what the crime was, but he’s working like crazy because he wants to atone for it.”

One by one, the prisoners entered the Ronia estate.

The sun was setting.

As night fell, Schupel dragged a cart full of corpses and headed towards the Ronia estate.

No matter how late it was, it was dangerous outside the estate late at night.

At that time, Schupel was startled and froze. .

I let go of the cart in my hand.

I pulled out the sword from my waist.

“Who are you?”

He looked ahead.

A person walked out of the darkness. A

priest wearing a bird-beak mask and white robes.

It was a man holding a gourd in his hand.

“Who is it?”

The man wearing the bird-beak mask suppressed his voice and spoke out.

He then tilted his head and lightly shook the gourd.

“An extra priest passing by.”

Allen smiled beneath his bird-beak mask.
