81 Eighty-one. 25. Not one (3) (1/2)
It was Marquis Montpellier who treated me like my younger brother until a while ago. He was being polite about what the wind was blowing.
But it was just a dog with a human shell.
The central and northern lords, surprised by the dog's loud bark, were unable to move with their feet tied. Those who did not have to die died died in that wind.
Marquis Montpellier in front of his eyes was the cornerstone of the northern field.
Life soared.
I pressed anger and hatred to endure.
I wanted to kill him right away, but as a kingdom, I didn't have the strength to handle his back.
It was time to put up with it.
I held back my anger forcefully, and a thousand dollars came up in my heart.
I had countless reasons not to kill Marquis in my heart.
But when I saw that I was convincing myself, I thought,
This is the northern frontline fortress, where the empire is not even close to the eyes of the kingdom. It is a place where people often die in a blizzard that blows on the road without notice.
It meant that no one knew even a dog of the Empire would die.
If you dig somewhere in the snowfield, the Northern Blizzard will cover all traces on its own. To be a little more thorough, there was also a way to sell the fodder and dump the Marquis' body somewhere in the mountains.
Monsters in the mountains will eat without even leaving a trace of soft human bones.
Even if someone asks about the Marquis later, it was enough to be consistent with Morso.
Whether it was a blizzard or a remnant of Orcs who couldn't defeat Mitcher, there were plenty of excuses.
I began to think seriously.
“Hmm...”
I am seriously pondering whether or not I should strangle the Marquis. A Ranger who told me about the arrival of the messenger sent me a receiver from the Rangers.
Soon after arrival, three of the group's horsemen, Namha
I frowned at the impression of interpreting sign language.
The words of the Ranger meant that the Marquis of Brisk had already told me where I was going in case.
However, he could not abandon his foolishness and asked if the cavalry could be assassinated before they arrived elsewhere.
The Rangers clasped their hands in secret to prevent the Marquis from noticing.
Seven for good weather, two for snow in the middle.
It was too risky to carry the burden of killing an empire dog.
Of course, the dog of the empire was too big for the harm done to the north. In any case, for the time being, I thought I should stick the Marquis' neck to it.
When the time comes, the day will come when you will pay back double the cost of your blood.
“Your Majesty...? ”
I didn't even know he was dead and looked at me with an ugly, worrying face.
“We wouldn't be so fond. ”
Marquis Montpellier's eyebrows twitched.
He was as polite as he could be, but when I was a regular, the planting was broken. However, after taking a look at him, he confronted me with a blunt face.
“But we used to do big things together, and it's hard to keep coming out here. ”
I tried to drive out the Marquis, but I hardened it.
“What's the big deal?”
Marquis sent a snowflake to bite a man.
“Get out.”
The rangers and messengers who were guarding my side withdrew.
All that was left now was me and the Marquis.
“What's the big deal? ”
“Are you pretending you don't know this? ”
The Marquis spoke with an obscene face.
“No, I really don't. ”
“Your Majesty, this is difficult. I came to you in good faith. ”
Looking at the marquis who was increasingly ignorant, the marquis's expression turned thin.
“One prince. You have a good reputation as the Savior of the North. Are you willing to play prince now? ”
Marquis took off his mask, as if he were a threat.
“Don't get me wrong. Just because you have a little reputation doesn't erase the dirt on your body. ”
I instinctively realized that the master of this body had done something I couldn't handle.
The problem was that I didn't know what it was.
But fortunately, the one who was going to tell me the answer was right in front of me.
“You're a scum who sold knights from my country. Do you think if the Northerners found out about your past, they would follow you now?”
Marquis, who revealed his true colors, told me the answer before I asked him.
“The castle you built in the north is nothing but a sand castle that will collapse once the waves have blown. If they knew you were a pusher and a traitor, would they want to leave now? ”
“What did I tell you? ”
”I don't even know how to be ashamed. But let me tell you something. It was wrong for you, but it was public for me, so there's nothing I can't tell you. ”
Marquis Montpellier spills his words with a contemptuous young face.
The Leonberger family has spent several generations training secret troops, astronomical costs, and preparing for the Great War.
In the wind, the knights of the three Knights of the Kingdom cut themselves off. It was not just cut off, it was cut off by denying the empire a loyal monarch.
“They were loyal. If they were born in the Empire, they would have been used a lot. I met a virtuous master and became really hard. ”
Marquis Montpellier makes a disgusting mockery of his mouth.
I closed my eyes.
Knights who shed tears and denied my lord, those who chose to become an imperial backward cabal and who would have done nothing and watched all that.
When the situation was catastrophic, it was painted in my head as if I had seen it with my own eyes.
My head was dizzy.
I knew he was a wreck, so I was not surprised to hear of any past evil he had committed.
But it was an illusion.
He was more garbage than I thought.
I could not have imagined that I sold knights from my country to betray the royal family.
And now I know.
What the King's hateful gaze and cold that looked at me came from.
And I realized.
The king's actions, as if he hadn't abandoned my eldest son, were never excessive.
Now that I know the guilt of the wretched one, I don't understand why the King kept this pest-like one alive. I'd have beaten him a thousand times. I would have torn it apart so I wouldn't have even left a dead body.
“Now I remember a little. ”
Marquis Montpellier, who saw my face, died.
“You're alive because the Empire didn't want your death. And you can never be king unless the Empire supports you.”
It was as Marquis Montpellier said.
The king will never let his eldest son, who sold the knights of my country, become king.
“But don't worry. ”
Marquis Montpellier said with a grim face.
“That's why I'm here. ”
He looked at me and said,
“I will make you king. ”
It was ridiculous. It was as if the sheep in my hands were floating around the throne of another country.
But it was the wretched one, not the Marquis.
Marquis was just a little controversial looking at a puppet trapped in a trap he couldn't escape.
“What are the conditions?”
“Just do what I tell you sometimes. Otherwise, you can wield all the pleasure and power you will enjoy as king. ”
Marquis roars like he's already on a boat with me. It was the face of the royal sniper who firmly believed that he could never refuse.
Others were hit.
I've committed such a sin, and if I catch such a weakness, I have to pretend to die.
“What happened to the knights who broke the ring then? ”
