Chapter 176 – #175 Shameless Leopold and His Bewildered Wife

When the fight was over, and I was adjusting my clothes, I saw Bella running from far away.

After a while, Raina also appeared.

“Kale! Kale!”

“Are you here, princess?”

“Are you okay? I heard you had a fight? What kind of bastard are you, huh?!”

At Bella’s growl, all the people who had gathered around me in favor ran away.

I turned my head and looked for Leopold.

But the guy who doesn’t exist.

‘What. Where did he go?’

– Kkkk. As soon as they saw Light Years running, they ran away like crazy?

Young. Because I’m quick to notice.

You will notice that soon.

“It’s no big deal. I’m not the kind of person who deserves to be mistreated by anyone, right?”

“Yes, but… I’m worried.”

– Oh. Our light years. Look at your thoughtfulness!

I know. It’s just touching.

But that emotion was short-lived.

“I’m worried that someone might use this as an excuse to gain more women.”

“…”

For a moment, I had nothing to say.

How on earth did you know?

– Tsk tsk. He really has an amazing sense of humor in these areas. Haven’t you already figured out everything about the person you are?

Honestly, I can’t deny it.

When I see Bella in front of me, narrowing her brows and looking at me with suspicion.
At that time, Raina also arrived an hour later.

“Kale. Are you okay?”

“Oh, yes. Everything was resolved without any problems.”

“Whew. That’s good. But if anything happens in the future, please contact us right away. Do you understand what I mean?”

“Haha. If possible, I will do it.”

“Okay. Then let’s go.”

So people dispersed one by one. We also moved our feet for the next class.

And the moment night fell, Beres and I quietly left the academy.

***

Count Ashphon.

Although they are not a great noble family, they are a famous wizard family.

It is often characterized by fire-related characteristics, and perhaps that is why it was known as an object of fear in the neighboring country, the Argentine Empire, with which it is currently engaged in war.

The estate is also nearby, so I receive help whenever I am in an emergency during an exhibition, so this event was quite meaningful to me.

– Why?

‘I still wanted to take care of it at least once. Do you remember what you heard from Fellhound before?’

The 1st Duke of Demon World, Felhound, clearly said.

When Aslan was on the battlefield, the nobles commanding the war asked him to kill me.
So he had no choice but to come up with a desperate plan.

Among them, there was also the Ashpon family.

One of the ways they accumulated money was by participating in wars, fighting hard, and when the enemy came over, they used a powerful magic or two.

‘With that alone, I earned more than 100 times the amount of money a commoner could earn if he worked all his life.’

Because they could raise funds so easily, there was always at least one member of their family on the battlefield.

Even at the moment of plotting to kill Aslan.

But now the time for revenge has arrived.

Hehe. Wait, you kite.’

Let’s kick this family today, and the rest will get their revenge soon.

First, after taking control of the capital, it’s up to you.

I moved my feet and entered Stronghold, the town of nobles. Then we approached an antique building.

“Who are you?”

The guards are on guard when they see me.

“It’s kale and cranberry.”

They bow in surprise at my introduction.

“It’s an honor to meet you! Florian’s hero!”

“If you don’t mind, could I get your autograph? My son really wants to get one.”

“Me too. My daughter…”

When I was very wary of his snobbish behavior, I saw him change his attitude and show great affection, and I was able to realize my popularity once again.

– Hey. Aslan. To the commoners, you are almost treated on the same level as the emperor. At this level, you can even give it to women passing by if they ask for it, right?

‘I agree too. I think he will probably listen even if I ask him to have a child.’

– Oh! Hey. Then let’s start running tomorrow. First, this year we will clean up the buttocks of all the women in the capital, and starting next year, we will go on an expedition to the countryside!

A co-worker suddenly gets excited and starts making plans for the new year.

While calming Beres down, I gave the guards an autograph.

One for my son’s wooden sword, the other for my daughter’s doll. Ssuk suk.

“Thank you. Thank you so much, Florian’s hero!”

“Ugh. Thanks to Cale, I’m going to get a kiss on the cheek from my daughter tomorrow!”

I pat the two impressed guards on the shoulders and enter the front door.

The butler, who must have heard the commotion at the entrance, came out quickly and bowed politely.

“Are you Kale Cranberry?”

“Yes.”

“I will guide you right away. Please come this way.”

Pass through the garden with a fountain and enter the building.

The interior of the building has the feel of a wooden building.

You can feel the faint scent of wood at the tip of your nose, and the expensive items displayed here and there blend in with them, creating a harmony as if they were one body.

It looked quite old-fashioned from the outside, and that old-fashionedness continued to the inside.

It seemed as if it was proving the long history of this family.

Of course, seeing that made my stomach twist even more.

‘This place is seriously full of money.’

– Why? Are these expensive?

‘Do you see the wooden walls here? This is a millennium tree.’

– Millennial tree?

‘Even if it doesn’t rot even after a thousand years, it’s still a name. There used to be quite a lot, but these days it’s worth the price.’

I can’t believe you’re doing interior design with something like this. This is why there is no money to fight a war.

It reminded me of a time when there was no food on the battlefield and I had to steal the enemy’s supplies. At that time, I really wanted to convert.

“Master. Kale Cranberry has arrived.”

“Uh, please come in.”

The butler opens the door and goes inside.

Leopold was standing there waiting for me.

“Then I’ll just leave.”

The butler disappeared, leaving only me and Leopold in the room.

A heavy silence fell between us.

A guy with a face full of dissatisfaction.

It’s not that I don’t understand.

I was completely defeated by someone who treated me like a mere insect, and my pages were sold out in front of countless people in the academy.

Now it seems like I have to sacrifice my wife as well.

“A guest has arrived, but you don’t even tell them to sit down?”

“… Sit this way.”

“The Count? I didn’t see him when I came.”

“Only my wife and I live in the capital.”

Ah, I see. The rest will be in the territory.

We will have to use the war as an excuse to raise money.

I asked, sitting down on a chair and leaning forward.

“Did you tell your wife?”

Leopold answered, crumpling his face.

“Yes. We are preparing now.”

But at that moment, I caught a subtle detail.

And it was the same for my business partner.

– Aslan. Is that a lie?

Demons know how to feel human emotions.

And very well.

But what if she, a duke of the demon world, felt the same way as me?

I asked with a deep smile, fully anticipating what would happen in the future due to the many signs of popularity I could feel from outside.

“Really? How long should I wait? I want to taste your wife’s insides quickly.”

“…”

“I’ll make you cry all night long, so call me.”

Leopold got angry at those words and walked out with a stride.
And when I came back, I wasn’t alone.

Masked people rushing into the room.

They immediately surrounded me and put their hands out. They all held threatening objects in their hands.

“What does this situation mean?”

“You idiot. Did you think I would remain silent after receiving such insults today? You will not survive here today!”

Oh.

“Are you okay? If I die, this will become known to the outside world, and then everyone around me, starting with you, Leopold… Will have to leave the empire?”

I pointed at Leopold with my index finger and then glanced at the people around me.

Instead of being scared, the masked people looked at each other in slight confusion after seeing my relaxed attitude.

‘It must be confusing.’

What a sense of leisureliness even when a knife is at your throat!

The talented guy who saw their agitation shouted.

“Don’t be swayed by those words! Just kill them and silence them and that’s enough!”

“If they found out I was missing after coming here, wouldn’t you be the first to be suspicious?”

“Kkeukkeuk. Do you think I didn’t even think about that? I already asked the academy administration office. I wonder if there was a record of your absence today! But there wasn’t one!”

You used your brain quite a bit.

I never thought I would recognize that.

Haha! Cut off the tendons of his arms and legs! I will play with him as much as I can and then take his life back!”

At that one word, four masked people swung daggers from all directions.

In response, an eerie sound echoed throughout the room. No, it had to resonate.

However, a completely different sound quietly erupted.

“Huh?”

“What is this?”

Four masked people looking at each other with puzzled expressions.

The other masked people looked at them, wondering what was going on, and then distanced themselves in surprise.

Nothing came out of the wound where blood should have oozed out. No, on the contrary, it healed smoothly as if it had never been cut with a knife.

“Yes, what is your identity?!”

“What kind of trick did you use?”

And that’s when my magic struck them.

‘Lethargy.’

The masked people begin to fall one by one.

The masked people began to feel helpless as the debuffs were fired three times from my mouth and both hands.

Of course, there were some who sensed my magic and stabbed me with their swords, but it was no use.

“Where?”

A fierce torrent suddenly formed in the air between him and me.

It was the work of Naiad, the spirit king, sitting on a chair in my image.

“No, how could you use water magic without any foreshadowing…!”

“It’s not something we can handle! Jump out!”

Suddenly, the three guys tried to escape out of the room.

However, it was soon engulfed by a huge stream of water and swept back.

Escape is impossible.

It’s even impossible to attack.

The current generation, who had never experienced her existence as the Spirit King, could never handle her.

“What the hell is this…”

Breaks hiding and casts a helpless letter spell on the masked people’s foreheads.

After capturing them like that, I turned my head and looked at Leopold.

The guy sat down on the floor and looked at Naiad and me in turns, as if he couldn’t understand the current situation.

“Clone magic…?”

“Why are you so surprised? Isn’t that the course of action you should take now?”

– That’s right. Wouldn’t that be it?

Leopold’s eyes grow bigger.

Then he placed his knees and palms on the floor and shouted loudly.

“Please save me!”

– His behavior is very consistent.

That’s right.

I asked, lifting my chin.

“Why me?”

“If you let me live, I will do anything you ask!”

“Really? Then what is this situation now?”

“This is so…”

I don’t think there’s anything to say.

Even though I was attacked, I was attacked very well.

“You can forgive me for this, right?”

“Well, please at least save your life!”

“After doing something like this, do you still expect me to trust you one more time?”

“Yes, yes…”

– This guy is so shameless. Tsk tsk.

Well, the world is large and there are many people.

After thinking for a moment, I nodded.

“Okay. Instead, you know what I’m going to ask for, right? I won’t wait long this time.”

Leopold hurriedly ran out of the room.

And soon he appeared with a woman.

She was a woman with long blonde hair, and seeing that she was wearing pajamas, it was clear that she had been rushed in without being told what was going on.

When she saw her room in disarray and about twenty masked people captured alive, she asked her husband with a puzzled look.

“Leopold. What is this situation now?”

“You know that…”

“Yes.”

“Do you see over there now? Could you please help that man… Tonight?”

Then the woman’s dumbfounded face crumpled.
It was only natural for me to look at my husband as if I were looking at a crazy person.

“Did you do drugs?”

“No, I didn’t.”

“Then did you turn around? Why did you suddenly drag me in and tell me all this? During the night?!”

The woman began to beat Leopold mercilessly.

There was no mercy in those fists of hers.

“Ahh. Ahh! Now, now, just wait a minute! Ahhh!”

“If you’re going to go crazy, you’re going to be crazy! Huh? Are you trying to turn your wife into a prostitute? And what are those things? Have you made a hobby of group spinning your wife? Huh?”

“Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!!”

It was a misunderstanding, and it was useless.

From my perspective, bringing someone in and telling them that without even explaining the situation was like saying, ‘please beat me up.’

“You crazy bastard. If you’re going to do it, do it with your ass!”

– Oot?!
