The reincarnated god of war cuts down the empire
Count Arsene (3)
Count Arsene’s house was located about a full day’s carriage ride away from where I was.
Fortunately, nothing special happened during the trip.
“I will give the report to the head of the family like this.”
“Either way.”
“That mouth!”
Hans, who was shaking, soon sighed as if he had given up.
“… … “I ask you to be careful with your mouth in front of the head of the family.”
“If that’s not the case, you shouldn’t have caught your weakness. I’ll say it again, but if I do something foolish… … .”
“Oh, I know. I know! Do you think we are brainless? Since the Night Mask is involved, we know better than anyone how much worse the situation will become if this fact becomes known to the palace!”
Hans raised his voice as if he was disgusted.
Seeing that they had no intention of doing anything against the masked bastard, fortunately, it appears that they were not fools at all.
Although they are merely a count family from a border kingdom, the Night Mask is a huge organization that encompasses the continent.
Even in that empire, there are countless customers.
No, there is no need to go to the empire.
If we simply leak various unfavorable information to competing fiefdoms that do not have a good relationship with this place, the future of the count family will become uncertain.
“… … But, what are those kids?”
“what?”
Hans, who had naturally followed my gaze, trembled.
It was a small training hall set up on one side of the garden.
Above, two boys were engaged in a sword fight with one of their peers.
In a typical knightly family, you might think that the older brother, who is highly skilled, would play against the two younger brothers.
“Hahaha! Hey, hey. You weakling! “You can’t even block this properly, so why are you going to take the driver’s exam with me?”
“Should I just take the exam this year? “If this person passes, I think I can pass too!”
That was absolutely not the case.
At first glance, the child, who was alone, was sweating profusely and struggling to block the attacks of the two children.
It was safe to say that it was completely one-sided harassment.
“… … “You have nothing to worry about.”
However, even after seeing that, Hans doesn’t even pay any more attention.
“I guess you have no intention of stopping me?”
“You will soon be called to the family battle! Wasn’t that what you wanted? “Don’t worry about unnecessary things.”
“Hey, if you go! “Is it nearby?”
“Holy shit!”
In the end, Hans curses and adds further explanation.
“These are the children of the matriarch! Do you understand now? “They’re not people like you who should be interested!”
“They are the children of the family head… … .”
It seemed like there was something inside this family that I didn’t know about.
But I’m also the type of person who can’t just ignore something like that.
If I thought that my dead child would end up like that when he grew up… … .
“… … Hehehe… … .”
shit.
This damn laugh leaks out again.
I forced my expression to harden and walked straight towards him.
One of the two guys who soon spotted me tilted his head.
“what. This thing the size of a rat… … uh?”
“Well, what is it? “What is it that makes you so pretty?”
The two idiots looked at me with blank expressions as I approached them.
“Ho, is this a visiting lady from some family?”
“Young lady? “I didn’t hear that?”
The idiots who were talking amongst themselves soon stop what they are doing and jump out of the training ground.
Everyone had a sad expression on their face.
“Beautiful lady, where are you from? … .”
“The beautiful lady is sitting there screaming and screaming. Hey, you bastards, not even this guy. “Are you two shamefully beating one another and then falling asleep?”
“… … !”
At my harsh swearing, the two idiots stiffen as if they were lying.
“Me, man?”
“What is this, you disgusting bastard!”
A grin formed on my lips.
“It’s okay, let’s fight from now on. Lee vs. Iroh. how is it?”
“… … !”
At the same time, the two idiots look at each other.
“This vs. this?”
“It’s the same, really. It seems like you think you can do anything. “Isn’t this a complete idiot?”
It wasn’t just the two idiots who were embarrassed.
“Now, wait! What are you doing now? “Didn’t you hear me?”
“Hans! What is this freshly crazy bastard? “What is it that you come to us and treat us like?”
“Yes, master. that is… … .”

Err, I don’t know.
What is this versus this?
Before Hans could say anything, I threw out my fist like a thunderbolt.
Puff!
“Quack!”
“Oops!”
Idiots fall down screaming one after another.
Since he was hit precisely in the critical area of Mokuldae, it would be difficult for him to come to his senses due to the extreme pain.
“hey! “You crazy guy!”
Hans’ swearing was completely ignored.
“What are you doing? Step on it now.”
And then, I waved my hand at the child who was just staring blankly at the situation.
“Uh, huh?”
“If you hit them, they get hit the same way they hit you, and because they treat you like a fool, these guys get mad and keep bothering you, you idiot.”
“… … !”
“once. You only need to be brave once, so why bother doing that? 사내새끼가.”
As if he understood what I was saying, the child soon began to shake his whole body.
Either way, I left the guys who were turning a blind eye and turned around.
The matriarch’s son?
So what should I do?
***
After one incident, I was eventually able to meet Count Arsene.
“Matriarch, you crazy… … No, Enslot has arrived.”
“… … “Ask them to come in.”
When I entered the room, a man with a mustache who looked to be in his forties was sitting quietly looking at me.
“Hans, you can just leave.”
“yes? Ha, but matriarch. This guy… … .”
“stop. Have you forgotten? “I am also an expert knight.”
“I will follow your orders.”
Still, the first impression is that it seems spirited.
‘thud!’ With a sound, I was soon alone with Count Arsene.
Naturally, a suffocating silence falls.
It is not enough to say that the difference between nobles and commoners is absolute.
At least that guy will know me as a commoner.
Even if that person were to cut off my head and execute me on the spot, no one would say anything.
But that’s the general case.
Because now I have a strong support called the ‘Royal Palace’.
‘What do you want to start with? If he has even the slightest desire for the Marquis, this person will have no choice but to have some interest in what I say.’
Still, since they’ve beaten up my own children, should I stop by to fix discipline first?
That was when I was thinking about that.
Sigh.
With a small clanging sound, Count Arsene suddenly places his sword in its sheath on the table.
“Your sin is great.”
“Of course you will.”
“If you feel even the slightest bit guilty about your actions, cut off your own head with that sword.”
“Eh?”
“If you do that, I will put this matter aside with your life. Please note that this is my final mercy, so please do not think about refusing it.”
“… … .”
I looked at the sword on the table in silence for a moment.
Slurp.
Then, I even tried to pull it out.
Count Arsene just watched the action quietly.
He didn’t seem worried at all that I might do something unexpected.
This probably means that I am confident in my abilities.
‘It’s a good sword.’
I quietly looked around at the sword.
At this level, it is safe to call it a famous sword.
Even though he was on the outskirts, he was probably a count or something, so he seemed to have accumulated quite a bit of wealth.
How much would a sword like this cost at the current price?
I don’t know, but I’m sure I won’t be able to buy it even if I spend all the money I stole from slave traders.
Crash.
Eventually, I returned the sword to its original sheath.
“But what you just said isn’t the answer I wanted?”
“I heard you’re from the My Khe Principality.”
“… … .”
Naturally, my mouth closed.
Looks like I’ve already looked into it.
“You despised me. He dared to deceive me by pretending that it was His Majesty’s property when it was not. I don’t know which family the child is from, but unless they are from the two ducal families that produced the master or are from the royal family, the Principality of Myke… … “I have the strength to handle this.”
“… … It seems like an even bigger problem if I am not a citizen of my country but a citizen of another country. Do you want to see something like this lead to conflict between countries?”
“Do you really want to see your parents, and even your homeland, suffer because of your sins?”
“… … “What child would want to see their parents harmed?”
As my feelings toward the other person became less positive, my desire to treat them with the minimum treatment disappeared.
“die. I promise. “If you do that, your parents will not be harmed.”
“This is it, the guy who farts gets angry.”
Count Arsene didn’t even pretend to listen to me.
Would this guy be able to say nonsense like this even if he heard that I was a royal?
“First sin. “You dared kill a knight from a foreign country.”
“He wasn’t a knight. “No one can criticize him for acting in self-defense to protect himself from being sold into slavery.”
“Second sin. “You dared threaten the nobles of this country.”
“It’s not a threat, it’s a conveyance of facts. I believe that His Majesty, who is solemn about everything, will listen to the appeals of other citizens who have been wronged and make a wise decision. “If I am guilty, I will hang myself there.”
“… … Third sin. “You dared to lay hands on my children and once again insulted me, the head of the family.”
“It seemed like the parents were not taking proper care of their children’s education, so I devoted my precious time to helping them. I don’t think it’s something to criticize… … .”
bang!
Finally, Count Arsene can’t stand it any longer and slams the table in anger.
“You don’t say a word! And, are you serious about your last words? A commoner from a foreign country dared to disturb the restraint of a noble family. “This is according to the law of the land, which you love so much, and even if you summarily dispose of it under my authority, the country can’t do anything about it!”
There was nothing to say about this.
The law says so, so what can you do?
In reality, I have never acted out of anger due to my temper.
“Any one of these three is enough for you to die! Now, what are you going to do?”
“Again, I don’t think so.”
“What you think doesn’t matter. I tell you again and again, if you are willing to pay for your sins, your parents will be able to maintain the peace they have now. No, I can’t say I’m completely at fault, so I promise you sufficient financial compensation. “Forget the foolish idea that I won’t be able to find out your family!”
“f*ck peace when your child dies.”
I burst out laughing and muttered without realizing it.
As Count Arsene’s eyes naturally furrowed, I quickly added.
“I assure you, when I die, everything I have experienced will be told to the king.”
“Instead, your parents will die, suffering more horribly than anyone else in this world. “He will die like that, blaming his children.”
I shook my head.
“That’s also wrong.”
“what?”
“I have seen many cases where children blame their parents, but I have rarely seen the opposite case. “Even if they die because of me, my parents won’t blame me.”
“… … !”
This was an extremely subjective thought.
Not everyone in the world has had the same family environment as me.
First, what if Andy does something really wrong and I have no choice but to die?
I am willing to die.
Instead, just one.
If only I could save my child.
However, if it were still a situation where my children had no choice but to die, I would do whatever it took to kill and eliminate all the bastards who did that.
Even if it’s the emperor of an empire.
“… … Hehehe.”
“… … .”
Did my sudden smile look quite bizarre?
Count Arsene frowned.
“… … It seems like your faith in your parents is truly solid. “At this point, I’m curious, what kind of family did such a bastard come out of?”
“I think any parent from any family would react this way if their child were in this situation.”
Count Arsene glares at me with sage-blue eyes.
Unable to bear that gaze, I immediately scratched my head.
“Ah, I’m not usually this talkative.”
“what?”
“Count, Sir, just do it like this.”
Looking at Count Arsene with a puzzled expression, I soon proposed a mediation plan.
“Honestly, I don’t want my parents to be harmed because of me, and I don’t like this situation right now.”
“so?”
“Let’s just fight like men.”
“… … ?”
At that moment, Count Arsène asked himself, ‘What did I just hear?’ He looks at me with that expression.
“It seems like you are confident in your own abilities. “Let’s have a game of war with me.”
“… … .”
“However, if we have a conscience, let’s not use each other’s mana.”
Now Count Arsene looked at me with a completely dumbfounded expression.
‘What are you worrying about?’
If I were a man too, this would be a request I could never refuse anyway.
