Vol 12 Chapter 235 (1/2)
Poison that Rends Beim
… At the point Lyle had run off froe to run away
Around, the knights and soldiers of Cartaffs held up their weapons, while beyond the queen, who carried her longsword over her shoulder, two more women had come with their own forces
The queen of Cartaffs was standing quite boldly A woman with sea-blue hair, and a woman with silver hair… all three of them held violet eyes
“I’ll say it asLyle That man isn’t a caliber fit to be held at the side of a small country My land of Cartaffs is the one worthy of him”
Piercing the spear as tall as herself into the ground, the wo off flames… Gracia shot back at those words
“If you’ll let me have my say… I’ve already obtained approval And Lyle is the holder of a considerable harem I’ve obtained all its e lands or Cartaffs, a country taken over by a single Skillholder is worthy? You’d best keep those fantasies for your dreams”
Her staff upright in the ground, standing as if to use both her hands to push it in, Erzy’s at air
And in truth, around her alone, the breaths exhaled by troops hite
“You coroom? We had already proceeded talks with four nations There’s ’no place left on the stage for Cartaffs If you’ll cooperate quietly, then that’s fine in itself”
The opinions of the two… the knights and soldiers holding weapons behind them had serious eyes
Erhart was backed into a huddle with his co
“What’s this? Hey, so as a hareerous sort of thing!”
Ludhed, and spoke as she flipped her hair with her left hand
“Sather four of thehty I’ll throw this out there, but just by those of your level gathering together, you’ve yet to reach the national power of Cartaffs Triple your forces Then I’ll hear out your opinion”
It was true that Cartaffs boasted more than double the national power of the alliance The country of the north possessed that much territory and resources
“But as the princess of a foreign land, I’ll recognize you as Lyle’s mistress”
Erhart timidly, timidly remarked
“Eh? That guy already had ht? They’re all to be mistresses?”
Even if you didn’t count the Valkyries, Erhart knew Lyle’s had at least that many women By rumor, there were talks of Zayin’s Holy Maiden and former Holy Maiden as well
Hearing that, Ludmilla and the others turned their eyes to Erhart
“And what of it? Taking on an extra mere ten holds no problem to me I have the national power to spare If they fulfill their roles, I’ll recognize them Of course, number one will be me”
To Ludher, and Elza’s chill grew colder
Within all that, Erhart saw it
(That woe!)
At the end his eyes, leaning her body against the horse she rode, Miranda was delightedly looking upon the dispute of the three
And to Erhart, it was as if he could hear her voice
(Now crush each other)
Her expression was one to say it
Gracia lifted her spear froround, and yelled
“Don’t speak so highly, oh queen of Cartaffs! I’ll crush you here! You’re an enemy as well!”
Her sentiment was emphasized on the ‘as well’ part
“It’s a good opportunity Let’s put Lyle’s Harem in order as we stand And you’re first, Ludmillaa!!”
Gripping her staff, and for a blade of ice, Elza took a stance The soldiers behind her wrung out their voices, and gripped their weapons, looking as if they’d attack at any moment
Before the two of them, Ludmill smiled… but that instantly turned to an expression of scorn
“… How unfortunate And I was even co here Then I’ll see out your ability”
As she pulled her longsword, and its red blade let off a dubious light, Erhart frantically looked around to try and do so on the scene from afar
“Ah, Oy! Come back! Hurry and…”
… And do so, before he could hear those words from Erhart, Lyle turned the other way, and ran off
Lyle had ran away And seeing his back, Miranda urged on her horse to chase him
Until Miranda could catch hi his…

When everything was over, I led the three country representatives into Beim, as I smeared some medicine over my face
Perhaps it looked like ere returning froht war, as on Bei at the three nationalities of knights as they made sure not to block our paths
It wasn’t rare for a knight brigade to enter Beim, and it was considered a sort of exhibition
As Eva had already entered Beim to spread rumors, elcomed by the city quite warmly
By the residents, that was If it were for the uild executives, that would be a different story
Within the legion close to two thousand, there were some of the adventurer parties ere supposed to have attacked us as well
With all the cheers, the adventurers stepped back, and elcomed as the heroes who saved the Queen of Cartaffs
Inside the Jewel, the Seventh put a cold opinion to mouth
『They sure are care-free If they knee… no, what Lyle was going to do, there’s no way they’d be able to laugh』
In Beim, I had already knew adventurers had returned to their various branches It was around the time where the Guilds would be in a scramble to collect information I had chosen that time at my own discretion to return
The Third spoke as if to soothe the Seventh
『Isn’t it fine? There’s no doubt it’s the triuh, is a separate issue Now the nicely』
What I sent in were the favorably-treated East Branch adventurers, and the fact the Guild had given us information…
That wasn’t all The fact the adventurers ere sent to attack us were now acco they couldn’t understand
The Fifth thought over as to come, as he put it to mouth
『With this, we’ve fulfilled our oal After that, it’s on to confir By our esti action in regards to Lyle That’s e riled them up after all』
To put on airs, I road at the lead on horseback, the Guild’s headquarters coht
“… Once the Bei countermeasure, it’s the end East Branch, Trēs House… it also depends on how they move, but with this, Beim will split”
The city called Beiiant lump of authority It held an authority rown into a land that turned its surroundings into a sea of blood to syphon off the gold Its syste it from the inside would be difficult, and I didn’t have the time
I wanted the support of Beiht Celes, I definitely wanted it
But I couldn’t let myself be supported condition-lessly If Beim did come to support e problem would remain on the continent
Beier, and even more troublesome city Even if I defeated Celes, and laid hands on the country, I wouldn’t be able to cut off Beim after they aided me If I did, they would make me their next enemy
So…
“… I’ll have the city of merchants and mercs sink into their own sea of blood once”
… For my sake, I’d have them sin to hell Even if there were irrelevant virtuous people in it, for the future… for me

… Guild Headquarters
The gathered executives had rough voices without their usual composure
There were co from the merchants too That they didn’t slay Lyle was a problem, but what the merchants emphasized was Cartaffs’ protest
That the adventurers sent by the Guild didn’t work, and Lyle who’d came afterwards coest failure was trying to run away It raised the issue of a large injury to Beim’s credibility
At the sa so little casualty The ade sent by the South Branch was practically annihilated, One first rate party the West Branch sent iped out, while the other was assisting Lyle
Barely any of the ones the North Branch sent had returned According to what the ones who’d returned had said, Lyle had overlooked only the East Branch adventurers, did he not?
Hearing that, they couldn’t stay silent
“You turned coat! You betrayed the other branches, and leaked information! Hoill you take responsibility for that!?”
The South Branch’s executive slalared at the East Branch executive Before his bloodshot eyes, Tahnia deterh Her superior executive was the same
“… We didn’t betray We’ve identified the one who sold the info It was one of our receptionists I’m sure she had soiven”
The North Branch’s executive’s stare was also stiff
“It’s a protest straight from the Queen of Cartaffs That’s a vital port to the merchants And we’ve even ain the rights to construct a port… do you plan to push this tile receptionist?”
The West Branch’s expression was pale and senseless The Labyrintha hundred floor To that extent, its ement demanded considerably delicate interaction
Adventurers capable of exceeding the sixtieth floor were extre that could be replenished so easily once lost
