Episode 19
: The road to the meeting place.
My back ached from carrying Beatrice.
Perhaps because the tension disappeared, the aftereffects of the battle came flooding back to me all at once.
My palms were sore and my thighs and forearms were throbbing.
“Master Raymond!”
When I was almost at the entrance, the knights who spotted me came running in a huff.
And when I saw Beatrice on my back, my face hardened.
It was a big problem that the daughter of a magic master like me was injured.
Whether they did it or not, I passed them and went inside.
“Get a therapist.”
After speaking to the drivers, I carefully put Beatrice down.
And I looked around.
‘found.’
Kaham’s face turned pale as he made eye contact with me in the distance.
I was surprised that Beatrice and I came back alive.
I’m just surprised.
Because we, who he tried to kill, came back alive to fight the Orc Warriors.
It is obvious that he would have thought it would be a blessing if he could at least get a body.
“You’re alive. “I was surprised that it suddenly disappeared.”
I tried to hold back my boiling anger and spoke to him.
“Ah yes.”
Looking at his flustered face makes me want to punch him.
Yesterday, I had to break every bone in my body so I couldn’t move at all.
I looked at his body while talking.
Torn clothes and scarred skin without ever swinging a sword.
And the necklace with the brown barrel that I saw earlier when I met the orcs who were drunk on stimulants.
‘It’s the barrel from before.’
A barrel that allows you to escape from orcs.
I had no idea it would be shown so openly.
“It must be a shame that I came back alive.”
“What is that… I’m glad you came back safely.”
“is that so? But for all that, your expression doesn’t look good.”
He hurriedly touched his face.
As I watched his reaction, I took out the leaf I had put in my arms.
“I found something quite interesting there.”
I showed him the leaf.
I was once again convinced that the culprit was him by his reaction as his eyes widened as if they were tearing apart.
If it wasn’t the culprit, it was normal to wonder what it was.
I’m not that surprised.
“They say this is an orc stimulant. “Thanks to this, I was able to meet the Orc Warrior.”
People’s eyes are focused on the leaves I am holding.
Kaham’s complexion darkened at that.
“It’s strange. Something like this is installed in the hunting ground. “It looked like he was trying to kill someone.”
“….”
“But what’s strange about this is that it’s impossible to enter the hunting grounds unless you’re an official…”
“What is that…!”
“Why is Kaham Yeongsik so angry? I didn’t specifically name anyone. “Is something stabbing you?”
“That’s nonsense. “I have no reason to do that.”
“Well, that’s right. “If that criminal is here, it will never be good for him.”
Knights with bloody eyes approach. Before I knew it, Beatrice was with me, walking fine as if she had been treated by a therapist.
“I don’t know who the culprit was, but the prank went too far. “Thanks to you, Lady Beatrice and I almost died.”
People get excited about the word ‘death’.
Even nobles, and because they are nobles, are sensitive to death.
Because I have too many things.
“This was really fun. “It is poisonous and if you touch it with bare hands like this, black spots will form.”
I showed my hand to people.
A black spot appeared on my hand where I had touched the leaf.
“This doesn’t take any treatment, so it takes three days for the spots to subside. Well, fortunately, the mole is harmless to the human body…”
People look at my hands.
“If you don’t believe me, please have someone else touch this. “Then you will know that what I am saying is true.”
A nobleman sent his attendant to touch the leaves.
A knight carefully touching a leaf.
After some time, spots like mine appeared on his hands.
“It was real!”
“So does that mean the culprit is here!”
People looked at each other and walked away.
A situation where you don’t know who the culprit is. They knew that nothing good would come from being close to each other.
“If the culprit was here, he would have spots on his hands like me.”
This was something that came to mind when I found out that it was an orc stimulant.
I couldn’t have known it because it was used by the main character in the original work to attract orcs.
Although I stopped using it at first.
“Everyone, please show your hands. This is an issue that requires the culprit to be caught and dealt with strictly. “I believe you all know why.”
It was an attempt to kill the son of a nobleman.
Even if you are a noble, you must be punished for your sins.
They scrambled to prove that they were not the culprits.
“Why doesn’t Kaham Yeongsik show his hands? “If you’re not the culprit, please show me.”
“…Why should I do that?”
Kaham pulls his hand back and grits his teeth.
I sighed deeply at that sight.
I tried to resolve it peacefully because people were concerned.
It was difficult to bear it any longer.
“I already know what you did.”
I walked closer to him and spoke softly.
“There is no evidence, is there?”
“evidence? Ha….”
I reached out and grabbed the brown container.
His body trembles and he hurriedly tries to slap my hand away.
He tore off the necklace faster than that.
“No matter how bad I am at using magic, I am the eldest son of the Millennium Count. “Do you think I can’t recognize the magic cast here?”
Click.
I opened the lid.
Then a foul smell came out of the container.
It was so strong that light green smoke was visible.
“Ugh!”
“What is that smell!”
People around me were scared and stepped back, holding their noses.
“I knew a long time ago that it had form preservation and sealing magic.”
I took his hand and removed the glove.
Then his hands full of spots are revealed.
He hurriedly covered his hand, but the people around him had already seen it.
“I told you. I knew you were the criminal. Ah… you want me to tell you that you actually have this kind of spot and that you keep this container around as a hobby? “That’s a really nasty hobby.”
I called Beatrice.
After receiving treatment from a therapist, she was able to walk to some extent.
As she got closer, she passed me and grabbed Kaham’s wrist.
and.
“light.”
I used magic.
Then, light appeared around Kaham’s hand, and on the contrary, his hand turned black.
“Oh uh…!”
Kaham, startled and embarrassed, hurriedly withdrew his hand.
When she saw that, she opened her mouth.
“The orc stimulant is a kind of magical potion. If you use a magic that produces light, such as a light, on the contrary, the area touched by the orc stimulant turns black.”
People are agitated by her words.
What she says carries more weight than what I say a hundred times.
I talked to her before I came here.
Please help me catch the criminal.
She said that she also owed him a debt, so she would do what was natural rather than help.
The result was this.
***
As soon as she finished speaking, things progressed quickly.
Unable to withstand the continued interrogation, the caham eventually blew up, and even the attendant who sympathized with it was imprisoned.
After revealing my sin, I feel so comfortable.
‘I can’t end this.’
It’s not over just because you’re in prison.
Even though he committed a sin, that doesn’t mean he died.
Since he is the son of a famous Viscount, he will be released before long.
If they want to charge him with more crimes, they can go to court, but I have no intention of escalating the matter to that extent.
This alone has already given him the worst impression among the nobles.
Above all, he and I had one thing to work out.
“Prison…”
After the hunting event.
As the nobles left one by one, they went to the prison where Kaham was being held.
“Go somewhere else until I call you.”
Although the gatekeeper guarding the prison protested.
It was stamped with power and pressed down.
“I thought it would be the worst because it was prison. “It’s not bad.”
“you you…!”
When Kaham saw me, he pointed and stammered.
I ignored him and looked around the prison.
His prison away from the attendants really wasn’t that bad.
Because we were given a bed, clean blankets, and luxurious food that you couldn’t think of as a sinner.
Even though he is a sinner, is it true that a noble is a noble?
The knight’s prison was like a dirty cell full of bugs.
“Do you think the Ruhaman family will quietly watch you do this? I am released. “If I leave here, I will never forgive you.”
Kaham growls like an animal.
He really doesn’t understand the situation.
“You can’t believe you’re making noise even when you’re locked up in prison. In a way, that too is a talent. “If I fall into the water, the only thing that will come to mind is my lips.”
“Are you insulting me now?!”
“insult?”
It’s an insult.
I can’t help but laugh.
If you knew your situation, you could never say something like that.
I should take this opportunity to properly inform you.
How should you act when you meet me?
“I plan to start insulting you now.”
“what…?”
“I have an iron rule of giving back what I receive.”
I opened the cage door with the key I received from the gatekeeper and went inside.
“You tried to kill me, so it’s true that I’m trying to kill you too.”
Ttuduk.
I loosened my fingers. Kaham took a step back.
Only then did he realize what I was trying to do and quickly called the gatekeeper, but the gatekeeper never came.
Because under my orders, you will go to a bar somewhere and have a drink.
“I’m being generous, so I’ll beat you just until you’re about to die.”
“Now wait…!”
Before I made any noise, I stuffed a cloth in my mouth.
I just want to feel the taste of my hands.
I don’t want to give up my ears to hear screams for no reason.
And I didn’t want to hear his voice itself.
I endured so much because of this guy’s mouth.
Puk puk!
Starting with the legs, I slowly stepped on the torso.
I should have done this a long time ago. When sparring, the joints of the bones should have been broken so that the maneuver itself could not be performed.
I had no idea that doing it in moderation would turn out to be this much of a hassle.
…suddenly.
“Ugh!”
Kaham’s face was covered in tears and snot.
The unlucky face was filled with pain.
“Turn it off. “Please save me…”
When did the cloth fall out? Kaham grabbed my leg and begged me to stop.
Unfortunately, I had no intention of stopping.
You have to change your thoughts so that you can never confront me again.
“Wow…! Do you think you can get away with this? My father will not forgive you!”
I stopped punching.
Did he think his threat was successful?
The face quickly becomes more triumphant.
He said while gently stepping on that guy’s face.
“That proud family you mentioned. “Watch closely what happens next. I’m really looking forward to seeing your expression then.”
Then we have to start again.
He screamed at my raised fist.
