Chapter 203 – 9. Hormia’s Dictator, Countess’s Insidious Task
“People might see… ! Stop and go see the kids.”
Sierra, who criticized me for squeezing her butt, looked for Perisha and Undine with a smile as if she had never done that. Scratching their heads, the two spend time with the Countess. Tell me, Sierra looked at me with wide-open eyes.
“Are you okay? What if I’m so picky that I even touch it?”
To Sierra’s concern for her, I shook her head, pointed at myself, and said,
“For the time being, you will only care about torturing me. Don’t worry too much.”
She sighed lightly at my answer, and Sierra nodded her head knowingly, and she replied.
“Well, you’ve been watching the Countess all along, so you know better. All right.”
“Then, we don’t have kids, so how about we go on a date?”
Suk – I wrapped her arms around her thin waist and threw a mischievous joke at her.
“Are you okay? I was pretty hungry.”
Glack-her saliva-soaked pink tongue flicked through the cracks of her crimson lips. A little excited by the sight, I pulled Sierra towards me, enjoying the feel of her soft breasts, then quietly whispered:
“Then shall we go?”
A slender index finger stroked the slightly erect pants. Seeing Sierra’s eyes wandering strangely like her tightrope walking, I snorted and hugged Sierra’s thick body and left her mansion with her. .
Rejecting the butler’s offer to help with any errands, we rode Sierra’s carriage to downtown Hormia, and as soon as we entered the familiar inn, we pushed the door with our backs and fell on the bed with a thud. Sent

After meeting Sierra, who said she was going to the village, I quietly returned to my room. In the afternoon, I opened the door to the sound of knocking on the door and greeted her maid.
Bowing- After receiving the now-familiar greetings and guidance, I stood in front of a door I had never seen before, neither in the banquet hall nor in the countess’s room. The maid, who opened the door carved with colorful patterns, bowed her waist and beckoned me to enter.
Trudging-
“You are here.”
Thud-! The Countess, who stamped a heavy-looking stamp on the paper with a sound, found me, put the stamp on one side, and put her elbows on the desk and looked at me. The Countess, who placed her chin on the back of her clenched hands and shook her head gently, threw a tok-hwadu.
“Have you had a good rest? Huhu, I heard she had a happy day with her lover.”
“Thanks to that, I was able to have a pleasant break.”
As she tried to kneel down for her prostration, no no-the countess restrained herself with a languid voice, chinning herself in front of her desk.
“Just come closer.”
Stepping on her splendid red carpet, as her countess ordered, I stood in front of her. The Countess, who openly looked over her whole body as if appreciating her, said calmly with her hum.
“Well, it exceeded my expectations. Ah! Come to think of it, I had a second task. I forgot.”
As if the whole situation was just a prank on the Countess, the Countess, who had been flipping through various papers while humming her song, slowly and leisurely alone, put a map on her desk and said to me.
“Would you like to take a look?”
Sreuk- When I lifted the map with the sound of a bell, a mark with a red circle remained on a fortress. Southwest of Hormia, with the jungle of dreams at its back, what was the business of the fortress facing the holy kingdom along the mountain range? Looking at the countess with her youthful face, the countess, blowing her face with the wind from her nose, said calmly.
“It’s a fort near Rondela that I personally sponsor, but I haven’t heard from you since yesterday. Even though I sent a copy, there was no contact, and I was going to send someone else, but you came just in time.”
“What can I do?”
“Since this is a ‘personal’ sponsorship, I can’t use magic, and I don’t know what kind of situation it is to send only messengers, so it was frustrating. That’s why the second task is for you to go to the fortress as a messenger and reinforcements.”
The Countess, who released her pods with a snort, knocked on her desk, thought about it, then stopped her fingers and said.
“If the fortress has been invaded or is under attack, support and I will contact you when all cases are over. Ummm here-“
The Countess, who placed the folded parchment in front of her desk, continued.
“Even if it’s already over or a situation is out of your control, contact me. Ah! And if there are surviving knights, be sure! Please take care of it. You know how important an article is, right?”
I nodded in response to the countess’ tone, as if she were talking about her consumables. Taking the paper she handed her to my chest, I had a hunch that the work would be long, so she asked the Countess.
“Is there a deadline for this assignment too?”
“There is no deadline. This is purely an errand from me, but it’s because I’m giving it as an assignment. Aren’t you so kind?”
Seeing her fluttering her veil as if to thank her for her kindness, I bowed her head, thanked her, and left her living room.
“I will expect. Cassano?”
The door closed with a heavy thump, and while I was chewing on the countess’s expectations, the maid approached me with a thump and started talking to me.
“The Countess told me to go to the stable, choose a horse of her choice, and set off.”
“Oh, thank you.”
After hearing the location of the stable from the maid, I trudged down the aisle to my room. I grabbed the sword on the wall of the empty room, fastened it to my waist, and quietly left the room.
‘Greetings… Done.’
Undine could be called at any time, and greetings to Perisha could be conveyed through Undine. However, knowing that she was in a dangerous situation in earnest, I felt that if Perisha showed a weak side, I wouldn’t be able to come back with peace of mind.
Praying alone for the Countess’s second task to be completed safely, I left the long hallway alone and headed to the stable the maid had pointed out to me. After receiving a recommendation from the stable keeper, I rode a healthy courser out of the mansion and headed for the fortress.

All right, all right-
Percussion- I ran with a spur, knowing that one of the situations that I had been worrying about for three days had occurred, and sighed heavily and leaned down. The strong walls and neatly built fort had dark traces of soot and battles, and the flag hanging in the middle of the fortress was torn in half and fluttering in the wind in tatters.
“Huh?”
While looking at the torn flag with a devastated heart, I expressed a question about the longing I suddenly felt, but no one here could answer. With my head bobbing as if I couldn’t remember the familiar pattern, I threw my memory far away thinking that the fortress came first, and spurred on my chin to run faster in the opposite direction of the fortress.
All right-! All right-! All right-!
I climbed a little steep hill and looked at the fortress from under the hill. There was no roof, so I counted the number of soldiers and knights running around the fortress and even looked at the corpses lying on one side. I realized that there were no air raids from the direction from Hormia to the fortress, so I was ready to go down.
The fortress seemed to be in confrontation with something coming over from the other side of the mountain range. Did the castle knights of the castle cross over the mountain range come to the fort looking at the majestic and huge mountain range and the people running madly inside the fortress? Or it could have been a monster, an orc, or a goblin.
Whatever it was, the fact that I had to visit the fort didn’t change, so I stroked the horse’s nape as it took a breather, and then quickly but quietly headed towards the fort.
[Jeongjii-!!!]
The knight, who was standing firm in the harsh wind, stopped me with a magnificent voice. I dismounted, raised my hand, and showed no hostility.
**
[Jeongjii-!!!]
As she was changing the bandages on her cherished squire’s mangled leg, she flinched at the knight’s cry that rang in her ears. I moved my hand.
“Because I don’t… A knight changing a servant’s bandage… “
Her squire’s melancholy voice restrained her, but she couldn’t even get her food, so whenever she saw my sore, mangled and oozing legs, she cried out in tears. Shaking her head, she said.
“No. A person is injured, but where is that? Zeke, stay still. Request.”
The squire, who was called Ziq due to her crude tone of voice, sighed and put her head down on the straw pillow. With a small smile at her squire’s resignation, she removed all her bandages, washed her dirty hands with a handkerchief soaked in water, and then, paying attention to the quiet outside, put her face outside her tent.
The distant leader of the knights was crushed by a stone that collapsed in the Wyvern’s surprise attack last night and became a flesh piece. Due to the lack of command and the numerous wounded under the collapsed fortress, the fortress was in chaos, but the remaining knights stood up and commanded the inside and outside of the fortress.
“What is going on… ?”
The senior knight, who succeeded the deceased knight as commander-in-chief of the fortress, waved his hand with a smile and said: The door opened with a heavy sound. It was a fortress that came to Dori according to Count Findel’s secret order, but the environment was poor and narrow.
She was taken aback by her senior’s smile, which she hadn’t seen before, but she went back inside the tent to appease her squire, thinking that would be good news.
“It seems that support has come. Great! Zeke.”
“Fortunately, the. Really… Relief… “
Piik – Zeke, who had closed his eyes as if passing out, dropped her head and collapsed. Knowing that she had passed out several times from her excessive pain, she put her finger under her nose, felt her feeble nostrils, and took off her helm.
Hwaak-
Watching her own fluttering orange hair, she sighed and moved her undulating blue eyes to scan the interior of her tent, her helm at her side, and moving her tent. Went out
Pray for a potion, or something to save the one-of-a-kind seed – Sonia, who looked down from the sky and prayed to all the gods she could watch, quietly moved her steps towards the gates of the fortress, which were now tightly closed.
