Chapter 270
–Aegir POV–
As I lean back into my chair, Celia who is next to me is holding onto the hilt of her sword tightly, nervous enough that you could almost hear it .
Naturally, my Dual Crater is on my hip and my longsword is also nearby .
「Hurry up and tell me . There is no point in calling me here for a private conversation if you’re not going to-」
The silent Bakleylan suddenly bursts out with words after I speak to him .
「Isn’t this different than what was promised!? For the Royal army to come out to the front lines like this!」
「Anh?」
My head isn’t registering what he’s bringing up all of a sudden .
I look to Celia to see if I was missing something, but she shakes her head with a dubious look on her face .
「I can understand the Goldonian army coming to assist with the uprising becoming larger in scale than expected, however attacking and invading Karudia goes against what was agreed upon!」
What is this guy saying?
「Wait a second, what are you talking about? Didn’t you start the rebellion because you were seeking independence from Goldonia?」
Bakleylan looks surprised for a moment when I asked him before he carefully takes out a piece of paper from a thick leather case .
Seeing how his hand is shaking, I can tell that piece of paper is a very important document .
Celia takes the document and spreads it open so I can also see .
「This is-!?」「Mu……」
Celia is astonished and I’m left speechless .
I didn’t even think about this .
「This is a letter from His Majesty Alexandro I himself . “Dunois, The General Governor of Magrado is” ――」
「Quiet . I can read it myself . 」
The following document can be summarized as follows:
Goldonia is disappointed that the General Governor could not properly rule over the land of Magrado .
Many people believe Dunois’s behavior is a problem .
If things do not spill over to Goldonia’s mainland, the need to overthrow the general governor may be unavoidable .
A new vassal state may be established independently with Bakleylan as the leader as long as a certain level of tax is paid .
「……I see . 」
The seal stamped on the letter is certainly the same one used by the King and it’s unthinkable for it to be fake .
This was without a doubt sent by the King of Goldonia .
「In return for swearing allegiance to the King of Goldonia……」
Bakleylan continues on, but I ignore him and turn to Celia .
「You have the decree for the expedition we are on, right? Not the one sent by Erich, but the one directly from His Majesty . 」
「Y-yes!」
Celia hastily retrieves the document .
I would have torn it up or lost it, which is why I entrusted it to Celia .
Unlike Erich’s letter which contains specific information about army formations, the King’s royal decree contains mostly ceremonial statements and doesn’t have much meaning besides giving me legitimacy and authority as the army commander .
Even if we look back at the sentences, it’s hard to distinguish what is meant by the roundabout manner of speech .
However I do remember Leopolt making a strange face when he saw it the first time .
「……here . This last part . 」
“Thoroughly annihilate the rebels . There is no need for compassion or mercy . ”
Eliminating rebels and killing all the ringleaders is an obvious thing to do so there is no need for that instruction to be written down .
The previous sentence was also talking about the dignity of the Kingdom so this last part is redundant .
The rhyming of the ceremonial parts were also unnatural .
「……Wittmann said it was absurd to hold a private meeting, didn’t he?」
「Yes . He is obviously enraged . 」
I look quietly at Bakleylan .
If the King made some sort of promise with this guy, it doesn’t make sense for him to dispatch us or the Royal army .
If there was a situation where he had no choice but to dispatch troops, he would have let me or Wittmann know .
If that was the case, I would have put the governorate army in front and let Dunois clean up the independent faction .
There should be no need to exhaust the time or money to organize and train the Kingdom’s army .
The decree calling attention to something so specific can only mean one thing .
The King intends to cut this guy off . No, he never intended to pick him up in the first place .
His goal was just to get him to rebel, even if that mean promising future authority .
「……does anybody else know about this matter?」
「No way! Everyone genuinely believes I desire to be independent . If not, this many feudal lords wouldn’t follow me!」
Yeah, that’s true . If anybody knew of his secret arrangement with the King, nobody would go as far as risking their own lives to follow him .
Only the people here know of this secret .
And it’s one which should not be known by many .
I take the secret letter and hold it up to the light shining in from the window .
「It’s a fake . 」
「Huh? There’s no way! The Commissioner of Government Affairs personally brought it to me!」
I chase Bakleylan’s angry shout from my ear and unsheathe my Dual Crater .
「A mere rebel who uses a replica of the King’s seal deserves certain death . A trial is not required . 」
A smile appears on my face . It feels like I’m acting in a poorly-made play .
「Are you telling me he lied!? For the King to spew false statements, how despicable has Goldonia become!!?」
Bakleylan slowly steps backward and draws the slender blade at his hip, then points it at me .
However, the tip of his sword is trembling and I don’t feel any threat from him at all .
「In place of the King of Goldonia, His Majesty Alexandro I, I will deliver judgement . 」
I sneer internally at my own ham acting as I raise my sword up and corner Bakleylan .
「Aegir-sama, let me do it for you . 」
I put my hand on Celia’s shoulder to stop her from drawing her weapon .
This is betrayal and a dirty method at that . I can’t let the cute Celia do something like that .
「P-please! Let me speak with His Majesty Alexandro once more! I’ll swear allegiance to Goldonia! I’ll move the feudal lords as I am told to! So I beg you――」
It’s over, in the King’s eyes you are nothing but a pawn without value .
I mutter quietly to Bakleylan, whose back is up against the wall .
「Give it up . This is part of fate . 」
At the same time, I swing my Dual Crater down into his shoulder .
Bakleylan’s slender sword snapped without offering any resistance as the blade of my sword digs deep into his body .
「Guaaaaaaah!!」
Bakleylan’s guts spill out on the floor from his slashed body as he drops to his knees .
The huge spray of blood dyes my body red .
I thought he died instantly but he still clings to my leg .
I purposely stand still .
「You fiendsss!! I curse Alexandro and Goldonia!! I hope the inferno of hell swallows them up and destroys everythingg!!」
Bakleylan screams in a pool of his own blood and guts .
With his eyes rolled back until the whites can be seen, he continues screaming in the same way I think a demon from the depths of the earth would sound like .
Eventually, blood fills up his throat and all he could make are gurgling noises before he collapses into the messy pile of intestines .
His dying face was warped with so much hatred that even I, who killed countless people, could not look directly at him .
A curse would likely befall anybody who sees him, so Celia can’t look .
When I cover her eyes with my hands, the door opens and Myla followed by the escort squad rush into the room .
「What was that just now!!? -ghk!? This is……」
「This guy was acting disrespectful . So I cut him down on the spot . That’s all . 」
I glance at Bakleylan’s corpse .
The man’s eyes are dead and stuck wide open .
I don’t know if it was a coincidence or just an inevitability, but he was staring in the direction of Goldonia’s capital .
「M-my dear…… how did this happen!!?」
The screaming woman is Bakleylan’s wife, I’m guessing .
When she runs in my direction, Gido moves to stand in her way, but I shake my head to call him back .
The most precious man in her life was just killed .
I could at least let her slap me once or twice .
Except the woman prostrates herself before me and shouts . .
「I-I have nothing to do with my husband! I’m just a powerless woman, how could I disobey my husband!?」
The wife clings to my feet .
「Please have mercy on me, I’m different from my foolish husband . I’ll do anything so I beg of you to spare me!」
What an inexplicable feeling it is to see this woman abandon her husband’s corpse and plead desperately at my feet .
That guy’s daughter also starts begging for her life after seeing what happened just now .
「The judgement for rude behavior only concerns the person in question, the verdict for others will be given out later . 」
With that said, I leave the room .
I’ve only been getting unpleasant experiences since coming to Magrado .
I want this all to end so I can go home .
Making sure nobody else can see, I pass by Leopolt casually before handing him the secret letter .
Leopolt reads it over with an unchanged expression before nodding .
The Next Morning .
All the other nobles aside from Bakleylan are to be treated as prisoners instead of being executed right away .
That guy’s wife and daughter were also designated as prisoners, but they were treated way better than the other men .
I want to save them somehow .
「You guys better not have done any plundering or raping . 」
「Not as an organization . However, with the number of soldiers in the tens of thousands, you never know……」
Dunois glances toward the center of the city .
The soldiers thought to have committed the crime of rebelling were being hanged there .
Well, you can find these kind of scum anywhere you go . That’s just how things are .
「By the way, what kind of impolite action did that fool Bakleylan do?」
Dunois asks me with soft yet serious eyes .
It’s creepy how his wide open eyes don’t even twitch but that’s not enough to overpower me .
「He disgraced His Majesty and the Kingdom of Goldonia . Did you want me to be more specific?」
I add a little bit of anger in my tone .
「No thank you . 」
Dunois didn’t ask anything else, standing down after bowing once . However his eyes did not once look away from me .
I didn’t mean to cause any disturbance since I’m not suited to deception competitions .
He might have suspected something .
「There were too many unnecessary elements to this war . I just wanted to enjoy myself fighting . 」
「That is the duty of a commander . In the first place, it’s strange for one to swing their sword on the front lines . 」
Myla comes over to my side . I stroke her cheek to cheer up .
「Bakleylan’s death and the fall of Karudia should be a big impact to the Independent faction . I believe they will lose steam in the future, but there may be some who will sacrifice everything to attack us . It’s imperative that we ready our defences in Karudia and prepare for any situation like that . 」
I think for a moment before speaking .
「About that…… I actually-」
「More importantly! Can’t you do something about that thing while you’re in the middle of the city?」
Our conversation was interrupted . I guess she’ll find out later .
Myla points to my crotch, where there is a large bulge in my pants .
「I couldn’t eat any girls all this time . If you’d like, maybe you can have some fun with me?」
「Did you just say you couldn’t eat any girls!? Lord Hardlett had sex with me this morning . Sleeping beside you were Bakleylan’s wife and his daughter!」
「Hmm . I guess I did embrace them . 」
Yesterday night, I had everyone confined to their own homes but Bakleylan’s wife and daughter snuck into my bed late at night .
Moreover, they came unmistakably not to assassinate me, but walked to my room naked with their hands covering their private parts .
I set up a tent in front of the mansion since I did not feel like using Bakleylan’s room, yet the two women still came to fawn over me in order to survive, despite the looks of contempt from the servants, soldiers and feudal lords made into prisoners .
As the girls entered the tent, they lay in front of me and offered their bodies in return for their lives to be spared .
Of course I never planned to kill the girls in the first place, rather I couldn’t refuse the offered bodies after being so pent up from battle .
I didn’t hesitate to pounce on the wife of a little under 40 years old and the daughter of about 20 years old, stretching out their holes to fit my size .
Wanting to hold a memorial for murdering Bakleylan with my own hands, I conquered the three holes of his wife and child, except I couldn’t get in the mood and the two women fainted before I was able to ejaculate .
They stuck out their tongues while squirting love juices and urine, and I assumed fucking them anymore than that would kill them so I tearfully had to end our session there .
「So that’s why you’ve been like that since this morning . 」
「……you were hard for the entirety of this morning’s war council too . 」
I’m reminded of Leopolt’s cold stare and Wittmann trying to suppress a smile .
Also, it seems the prisoners have gotten a little more obedient .
「T-there’s no way we could have won against a man like that……」
「He’s big so of course he’s going to be strong……」
Fufufu, are they jealous?
「By the way, I haven’t seen Tristan lately, where is that idiot slacking off?」
「Mm, it’s fine to leave him alone this time . I’m having him do a different job . 」
Myla looks at me with a puzzled expression but doesn’t ask anything more .
「The governorate faction feudal lords’ armies mentioned by Dunois are still heading to Karudia, right?」
「Yes, although it’s been brought up in the war council that they are not needed now that the enemy has been eliminated . They can still be used to maintain order, besides they would get unhappy if we told them to return home after having departed already . Or was it better to order them to go back?」
「No, it’s fine . 」
She talked with Leopolt too .
「I thought there was no need to gather a large army of 20 000 in Karudia at this point in time but…… owww!」
Myla lets out a scream after suddenly being brought to her knees .
Apparently Celia tackled her .
「You tricked me again so you can get ahead! Myla-san, you’re playing dirty!」
「What are you talking about? Didn’t you try to sneak a fast one on me yesterday?」
I hug the shoulders of the arguing girls and put their hands on top of my crotch .
「We still have time . Make peace with each other and then the three of us can have fun together . 」
With the two of them as partners, I can release my pent-up stress and ejaculate without reservation .
I’m sure plenty will shoot out .
「R-right, I understand . 」
「If Aegir-sama says so, I’ll get along and service you together . 」
Before we could get to the finale, Leopolt puts a damper on our fun .
「Lady Hyuutia, I have something to discuss with you in regards to future plans, are you free?」
This cold voice unable to read the mood ruins our sweet time .
「Hyuutia…… wait, that’s me . Does it have to be now?」
Myla puffs out her cheeks unhappily .
Celia smiles, making gestures urging her to go quickly .
「Myla, it’s better if you go . ……it’s probably something important . 」
I can imagine what it is about .
Rather than hearing an explanation from me, she’ll understand better if she heard it from Leopolt .
I’m bad at explaining things after all .
「Uuu…… as expected, you’re favoring Celia-san . Is it because you prefer silver pubic hair!? You just love the cute, thin wisps don’t you . 」
「What are you saying out loud!!? The soldiers will hear everything!」
「So Celia-san is really trimmed down there……」「She’s methodical too so she probably keeps everything neat and tidy . 」
「Don’t listen! I’ll kill you all!」
After the brief commotion, Myla follows Leopolt with an extremely displeased face while Celia pulls my hand happily into the tent .
