“The cohness…?”

“If you wish to stop our advances, then you must first obtain the permission of two archbishops, or more If you don’t have that, then…” A cold shi+ne radiated from the eyes hidden beneath the bird beak mask that zeroed in on the Paladin “We’re authorised to summarily execute anyone who resists Even the Paladins loyal to the Imperial Family are no exceptions”

“…!”

“This is neither a revolt nor is it a coup d’etat Even his majesty, the Holy Emperor, has permitted it Will you disobey his decree?”

The eyes of the Cri their scary-looking weapons in their hands All sorts of tools like scythes, greatswords, and ly in the air

The Paladins stu out of the way

The Crimson Cross kicked the door dohen their path was clear

The nobles were taken greatly aback and hurriedly retreated, their faces filled with pure fear

The members of the Crimson Cross double-checked the list, then scanned the ranks of nobles, servants, and maids currently present

“Capture them! If anyone resists, cut off their heads immediately That’ll serve as proof of whether they are Va the frightened nobles

“H-how dare you…! I’ this stunt…?!”

One of the nobles present unsheathed his sword However, this act constituted as ‘resistance’

The Cri to the commands of the Imperial Family”

“E-even if the I! Just what exactly happened that you are…!”

The Crimson Cross wasted noresistance in the group

A scythe swiped across the air, cleanly lopping the count’s head off A fountain of blood gushed out from between the severed head and torso

The headless body fell down to its knees while the ownerless head rolled around on the carpeted floor This lasted only for a brief moan burning away

“He… really was a Vahts of the Crimson Cross stared at the list with renewed shock in their eyes Then, they shi+fted their glares back over to the nobles inside the luxury suite The corners of their lips hidden beneath the rins

There was no lares locked on the surviving ones ere backing away even now

“Every single person in this roo the blood-creations Capture them all!”

And so, screahout the iroups decked in cri across the streets of Laurensis on horseback

They fired their bolts

Projectiles penetrated straight into the count’s torso and li in pain, the Crimson Cross didn’t stop there and even proceeded to place a noose around his neck

“Surely a Va thishialloped forward

From the imperial palace all the way to the streets of the capital…

…A pandemonium of blood was underway

Citizens shi+vered away in fear and cried out helplessly

Even then, the Crimson Cross didn’t hesitate nor hold theht noas to ‘Kill and Capture’; everything else was besides their consideration

Luan stood by aof the ih up

Witnessing theht a smile to his face

Count Fo away from anxiety

Of course not – all the ere covered up with thick drapes as well

Inside this hall that seemed to personify darkness itself, only the eht, al like a beacon in this place

Count Fomor sed back his dry saliva and stared at the person sitting on that very throne

“Welcome back, Count Fomor”

It was none other than the Holy Emperor himself, Kelt Olfolse

This man had personally su, he didn’t think thatthe emperor in this fashi+on wouldn’t be all that difficult to pull off He’d been fooling the oldthe latter’s trust for several years by now, after all He believed he was safe with some amount of certainty
