Volume 2 Chapter 40 (2/2)
But if Hodram were to abandon theive him
His own instinct to survive made him unable to move
The road left for him no matter which path he choosesonly leads to ruin
”General Hodram! Thron your weapon and surrender, or do you want to die like this?!”
One of the knights step forward and shout loudly
Hodram has already been trapped in a situation where there was nothing he could do
(damn it!)
The Knights already blocked his path to escape
Even if he abandons his wife and daughter to escape, it would be hard for hiainst them
”What would you do?! Are you going to escape in front of your wife and daughter?”
Such cold words pierced Hodram
Both his wife and daughter have swords around their neck
”Dear”
”Father”
Their eyes stabbed Hodra
With this, his fate is already sealed
Hodraround
”I surrender”
”Very well!”
In response to Hodraht nods his head and raises his hand
Several knights quickly jump out and arrest Hodram
”””Uoooooh!”””
””We caught hiht him!””
Such cheers resounded within the forest
Everyone raises their sword overhead to express their victory
”It has ended! Now the Rozeria Kingdom will enter a new era!”
”Glory to her highness princess Lupis! Prosperity to the Kingdom of Rozeria!”
Words of delight were shouted by the Knights
”What are you guys going to do to us? Where is the trial going to be held? At Irachion? or at the royal capital? Can you guarantee the safety of my wife and child until the decision is made?”
Hodra by his side
”Trial? There's no such thing you know?”
Being looked at by the knight cold eyes, Hodram shows a surprised expression
”What?! What do you ht to receive a formal trial!”
Hodrarab the knight cuff
Hodraht that if he surrendered he would be put on trial by the princess
Or at least he thought that his and his fauaranteed until the trial is settled
At worst, Hodram was sure that the kind princess won't execute his family
(At least, at least if I get s, I could spare my family from execution!)
However, his thought was being overturned
”What does this mean?! Didn't you pursue us by the order of princess Lupis?!”
”No, that is wrong”
The knight immediately denied Hodram words
Then a knight with armors dyed with the color of pure white shows up from the crowd
”You see, General Hodram”
”That voice That figure! It's you! Elena Steiner!You, why are you here?! You're supposedly participating in the attack at Irachion!”
Hodraed
After all, the person he had admitted to defeat is actually the person called Elena Steiner
”Elena Steiner-sama? The one who's called [Rozeria's white Goddess of war] ?”
”Are you really that Elena Steiner?”
Those are the words that cahter
Such doubt is natural, after all, they have met someone who's hailed as the hero of the nation
Elena nods her head toward Hodrahter questions
”Is it that surprising that I'm here?”
”Did you read all of my action?! That can't be! You're not so like that!”
Hodram roared
”Oh, my? You are still the same man who's unable to accept reality huh? Overconfident with his own ability and looking down at the others Froed But the reality now is that I've caught you, can't you even accept this fact?”
”Shut up! You peasants! I'e! Not someone like you, you low life!”
Toward Hodram's words, Elena shows a bitter smile
(Such a stupid e Why can a man so full of talents like him be so stupid like this I wonder?)
”You bastard! Did you think you're better than I am? You're not someone who's equal to me!”
”Such pathetic person you are That's why Fried-sama appointed me as the General back then, not you Because that person realizes that your arrogance will erode the country To think what that person had thought about you turned into reality! Can you see the knights present here? Do you think they hold the same view as you?”
”Don't joke with e soive the General rank to a commoner like you instead of me, someone who is born from a noble fa that the glorious knights order of the Rozeria Kingdo led by a commoner? Furthermore a woman?!”
Hodram raises his voice and looked around
However, no one presents shows an agreement toward Hodram's statement
Rather, everyone shows a despise toward Hodram
”W-What's with you guys?! Why are you looking at me like that?!”
The gaze that was directed toward Hodram
Such gaze was the saaze toward a commoner
The difference is that the gaze directed toward Hodrahts order
”You're really a stupid person huh Do you know? The knights present here are of low rank and most of them are born from a faious family never realize The existence who actually supported the Knights order!”
Just like soeneration after generation, there are also coht
However, for a coht, one must pass the exaious family
Those commoners make a hard effort until they vomit blood
However, despite being the sahts, there was a clear barrier between those who are a coht's household
It was a daily routine to have a knight froious family snatch an achievement from those who came as a commoner
It would be always the Knights froious family who led the march
People who originated as a coe work
Ahts here, some of them lost their lover forcibly
So convicted as a corruptor
And the one who does those things to theious families
It was always the commoner who undertake the dirty works and suffered because of it
Not to ht orders is soht
If someone who becomes the leader is like that, then it won't be weird if those under hi him
”Don't joke with ht because of our sympathy! You all should follow us quietly!”
Hodrah, his face flushed
His behavior has become weird, but everyone presents understood what Hodram wants to say
He wants to say the knights with couished family
”Such frustrating person you are You Oh well, whatever You can bid fareith that idea of yours”
”You bastard! Are you going to break the national law?! I do have right for trial!”
Toward Elena's exclamation, Hodram could not hide his surprise
He hi several laws these past few days
He does sos, such as positioned souard duty
E military expenses, received bribes from merchants, and so on
He also traps his colleague who beco them of crime
However, at the end of his life, what he relied upon was the law itself
Even if that sounds unreasonable, he still relied on it
After all, he does not have anything left anymore
”Don'tis atte killed in action And his fa to escape That would be the official record That was your favorite way of getting rid soht? Hodram”
Elena smiled sarcastically toward him
”Can't be! That You can't do so like that! Where's the justice!”
”Justice? This is not justice you know? This is revenge For o”
Hodram face froze toward Elena's words
Hodrahter also show a surprised looks
”What are you saying?! I don't do that! I don't know the matters about your family!”
”You don't have to put up soo, I heard from Heinz, a slave merchant as ordered by you to do the jobs He's the witness”
Following Elena's words, her adjutant who stands beside her nodded his head
”I don't know of such thing! I don't know that slave merchant either! And that merchant has already been executed! Where's the proof! The testimony!”
”Dear Just what happened here? Did you really Killed Elena-sama's family?”
”Father”
”What?! What's with those eyes! I don't know anything about thatto believe your father's words?!”
Hodrain to suspect him
However, the more he tried to defend himself, the colder their eyes become
It was obvious for theed everyone present
”Let's see I do not have such evidence indeed But, I don't need such thing Because what I want is to kill you”
”You bastard”
Hodram finally noticed the madness in Elena's eyes
And also the fact he won't be able to escape
”But, be relieved I will also kill both your wife and your daughter together with you My daughter was violated and killed, but, I will forgive you”
Elena then pulls out her sword frohter
”Wait! My wife and daughter have nothing to do with me!”
Hodrahts around hi to stand up
”It does you know? After all, they are your family”
”Wait! So, this kind of thing cannot be tolerated!”
Looking at Elena, Hodram desperately seeks help from around him
However, ast the 200 people present, no one listens to Hodram's plea
Because everyone present wants him to die
”Nooo! Please Help”
Tears appear frohter's eyes
She understood that his father has coivable crime
And how much his father was hated
However, she thought that ahts, there would be still someone who can show mercy
”Goodbye It was not your sins But your luck was bad At least, I won't make you suffer like my family”
”STOOOOP!”
Hodram roared
However Elena did not stop, her sword gently swayed in the air down to Hodrahter
Zazh
Hodraround, from her neck blood dyed the earth
Zash
This time Hodram's wife lost her life
”You bastard! How dare you! I will kill you! I will definitely kill you!'
Hodraer, saliva scattered from his mouth
However, being pressed by several knights, he was unable to move his body even for an inch
”That's good! That's what I wanted to hear from you! Because I lived to see you like this!”
Elena walks toward Hodram with an innocent smile on her face
(With this Everything is over Seria Dear Now you both can rest in peace With this, all of your regrets, I've erased them all)
The grudge that she had for these past 10 years will be released
Inside her heart, the appearance of her husband and daughter appeared
”With this, everything co!”
Elena raised her sword overhead
”damn it! You bastard! You damned low life!”
That was the last words of Hodra, the mastermind behind the rebellion
With this, the civil war in the Rozeria Kingdom came to an end
