Chapter 218 – 9. Hormia’s Dictator, Countess’s Insidious Task -Sonia-
By the seventh day, Sonia, who was off duty, was looking around the inside of the fort, unlike the last time she was off duty, stuck by Zeke’s side. I hid myself with a smile as if I was looking for something, and I showed up during mealtimes or meetings, and Sonia approached me whenever I did.
“Hey, I have something to tell you… “
“I have something to talk to Miss Henna for a while. Sorry.”
As the knights dispersed after the meeting, Sonia grabbed my shoulder and spoke to me in a rather harsh voice.
“Casano, I have something to tell you. Stay still… !”
“Why are you angry? Sir Sonia inconveniently won’t touch her and she gives me time to take care of the seeds she so terribly cherishes, and you make me suffer.”
“What, what! I’m hurting you… ?”
“Yes. I know that I hurt Sonny or I was rude at her reunion. And in the end, even though she knew that it was a low and cowardly act in her heart, which was getting more and more focused on Sonya, whom she met again, he threatened him. But didn’t Sonia-sama go to Zeke until the end?”
In order not to give Sonia time to think, I put pressure on her with every word she uttered. Of course, most of them were sincere, but Sonia backed away from my answer, which was a mess of various stories, and tried to escape the situation.
“I, what am I talking about… “
“Hasn’t all the love you shared with me been pushed out of that heart that cares for the seeds? If you want to take care of the seeds that much, I will give up my heart and step back. This is it. But why do you keep coming to me?”
“I-I didn’t know. Because you only hurt me and left… Even thinking like that… “
Kwok – Sonia clenched her fists tightly and stared at me with her spinning eyes. In order to further delve into her muddled Sonia’s head, I yelled at her with a sad expression on her face.
“Well, you don’t want to talk to the wicked man who threatened you with someone else’s life again! Sorry.”
Tadadak! Before Sonia could catch me, I quickly moved her to her feet and out of her place. I spyed on Sonia as she trudged back and made sure that Sonia didn’t come back even after midnight, so I quietly called Undine and tasted her lovely cunt happily.
On the 6th day, Mild ordered me to scout the area near Sonia and her fortress. The Wyvern’s invasion was also invisible, and the goblins or orcs that sometimes came down from the mountains were the reason why they couldn’t even see their noses.
“I-over there… “
“… “
“I thought about it once. Cassano, your thoughts and my heart. That is-“
“I don’t like small talk. Sorry. Sir Sonia.”
“Why, why… “
Sonia, who was looking at me with her stern face, finally bit her tight-lipped lips and turned her body around as if she had resigned herself. The image of the immature young lady so sad overlapped with the image of her crying under a tree during the previous subjugation, but I held it in.
I need to properly tame Sonia here and stitch her wounds so she can follow me without any problems. It is impossible to ignore the feeling of Zeke’s debt left in Sonia’s heart just because she subdued Sonia with her sexual desire and brought her back to Eoyeongbuyeong.
Do you follow me and have another man on your mind? That’s not to be said. Nodding alone, I stepped on the grass and looked around, while Sonia picked up her telescope and looked around.
After an hour or two of reconnaissance, and approaching the entrance of the mountain range, we backed away in a sense of foreboding.
“Casano… “
“Yes, let’s go back. This… Something is strange.”
Going into the mountains alone just because there was something unsettling was a more absurd thing to do, report it to Mild and leave it up to his judgment, or report it to the Countess if something really unique happened.
“… “
“… “
We eventually returned to the fort in silence. Intermediate Intermediate Sonia has been thinking a lot about her—or maybe your heart is getting a little better, is it really irreversible? Etc. I threw out mouth-watering baits, but I ignored them to the end.
“Oh! You’re back, right, didn’t you hear that there are dead bodies of monsters in the field?”
“Yes. It just doesn’t seem to come down from the mountain range itself. And a word about the mountains… “
As I met Sonia’s eyes, I explained the ominous energy I felt in the mountains and the chilling moment.
“Wyvern coming to the fort… It may not be the will of the wyvern. It looks like there is something huge in the mountains.”
“If something huge… “
“I don’t know either. The ferocious monsters that were only heard in legends settled in the mountains, or giants settled, or at least the dragons-“
“Haha, what mountain range would a dragon settle in? There are many overlapping points with the human kingdom, and the size is small, isn’t it?”
It was. It’s not that there aren’t dragons, but if they’re the size of a dragon, it’s clear that they should stay in the mountains beyond the empire, not the small mountain range that separates the kingdom and the empire.
“Anyway, let’s break up.”
Yes The knights answered in unison and left the tent with Mild. I also ignored the henna that kept my eyes shining and Sonia, who was staring at me with moist eyes, and quietly came to the tent and took out the thing I had put in my bosom.
Sarak- Sarak-
The finely folded paper unfolded, and the petals stood up as they brushed against the paper. The petals that came together and merged one by one became a bird, and I scratched my chin with my thumb and said first.
“Countess, are you listening?”
[Huh… ♥ That’s cheeky. I would like to contact you first. If it’s trivial, I’m very worried about how I’ll repay this arrogance?]
Am I the one who listened to the Countess’s bluff while stroking the chin of the quivering petal bird? I wanted to, but in the end, I added the story I shared at the tent and what I had been through to draw her interest.
“Are there really dragons in the mountains?”
In fact, the reason I thought it was a dragon was simple. It was because the Wyvern continued to rummage through my head, apart from the ‘why it must not be a dragon’ that I thought at the meeting.
Even if they were monsters, giants, or at least other large monsters, would there be a reason why a wyvern that built a nest in a rocky mountain would come down to the fort under the mountain range to pick up a horse or snatch food?
As a result of combining that action with the hypothesis Mild brought up today, the dragon built a nest in the mountains, and the wyvern under the force came in and out of the fortress. Was
Of course, if I brought it out at the meeting, it was obvious that I would hear glares and distrustful criticism from the knights, so I hid it. Even as the countess’s messenger, there was no reason to go out, since we just had to evacuate together later.
But the Countess seemed to like my answer, and the countess huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhu, her beak trembled and then started talking over the wide open beak.
[Cute. Just combining the frightened anecdotes with the knights’ absurd stories and spitting out the result of a dragon. Whoops- should I call you the Cassano writer-]
“… “
Was it stupid? I shut my mouth as I felt my ears heat up at the Countess’s teasing reply in a voice full of laughter.
[Still, if you do that, it might make sense. The reason why the countess gave personal support to the knights of the fortress is to buy the favor of the knights who will become Tosagupin through Count Findel’s dragon hunt and to get at least a by-product of the wyvern- not rejecting Count Findel’s request is also the reason he can get it. I promised to share the by-products of the dragon and sent support to the fortress.]
“… “
[Ah, I can understand why Count Findel placed the knights in the fortress on the other side of the mountain range. Rather than hanging Count Findel’s flag on an empty fortress, we should hang a flag on a fortress full of humans so that the dragons who run away will recognize the flag and take time to kill the bug-like humans.]
[And in that gap, you’ll try to do something about the dragon with the prepared troops, right? Well, I don’t believe in the weapons and gear for dragon hunting made by Krafton. It looks so lame.]
“I guess the countess could be a writer rather than me.”
The countess smiled at my praise and spoke in a languid voice.
[I want articles more than fame. The last day of the month to defend the fort. I hope you bring your knights back to Hormia, Cassano-kun.]
Sarak- The flower bird collapsed as it was, and the petals scattered. Square-square- I folded the paper finely, put the paper in my bosom, tap-tap- tapped my forearm with my fingers and pondered.
‘If it is true that dragons are attacking the fortress, as the countess said, then it is only right to decide which knights to take. It’s impossible to tell the truth here.’
Run to Mild right away and your lord has chosen it as dragon food. Let’s go to the Countess! If I say yes, will they follow? No. They say that people forget kindness but never forget grudge. If you don’t believe me, I don’t know, but if you believe me?
It was obvious that the knights would either negotiate with the countess or go straight to the count in order to rise up against Count Findel. Being entangled in it was a specification, so I decided to hide it, and checked the order form Erilda had prepared for me, picking out the knights to take.
‘The quantity is enough and I just need to encourage the soldiers to flee… Huh?’
A slightly different spell book, the spell book to Hinera Village and the magic gin have almost the same letters, but there are slight differences and different colors. After roughly classifying them so that they do not mix, I made up my mind after putting them in the arms of each other.
“I’ll definitely have to tame Sonia first.”
With only 5 days left for me, I thought of Sonia, who was suffering alone in the tent, and quietly closed my eyes, contemplating the existence of a dragon.
