Chapter 127 – Part 2 Nobles – Victory

Ride the wagon and head to the royal castle.
The atmosphere on the street was quaint. I had been on the road once a few days ago, but the feeling was completely different from that time.

There were as many wagons as before, leading towards the capital. However, unlike the last time, when they often shouted and tried to fight, everyone was silently waiting for the road to open. It’s no fun.

“Minerva. Are you okay?”

Minerva was hardened. As he brought his hand to her hip to relieve her tension, he slapped her on the back of the hand.

“Even at a time like this, you’re at peace.”

Minerva glanced at me and said.

“Minerva is too nervous. The outcome is fixed anyway. We just have to go and raise the spoon.”

With both hands empty, I picked up Millene and put it on my lap. As I rubbed her face just as she was, Milene pushed my face away from her.

“Yuz. But what are we going to do now?”
“Millene just needs to watch quietly.”

The unnies don’t talk, so there’s no need for me to talk. I was evasive and enjoyed the touch of Milene’s soft body.
Even for Millene, if she grows up for the next five years, she will transform into an older sister with a great body like Melissa. She thought that she had to let go like this, so she felt sorry for her.

“Is Melissa okay?”
“Yes, Bocchan.”

Melissa was calm. She looks like she’s out for a drink in town. What is he thinking under that calm face?

Actually, the one I’m most worried about is Melissa. She was so determined that she allowed it, but she didn’t want to have her face to face with the pig count.
She might think she’s fine now, but it’s not strange that her trauma remains. She is worried that she might be trying to heal her healing wounds.

“Count. I think it’s better to walk from here.”
“Hmm. That’s right.”

I decided to obey the coachman’s opinion.
It was only a few steps to the entrance of the castle, but it was because I couldn’t move even a single step because of the wagons lined up earlier.

Escort the three sisters in turn to get off the wagon. Then, the people who noticed us started to glance at us and gossip.

Three beautiful sisters with rare red hair. Everyone here must be a member of an aristocratic family, so you should be able to recognize at a glance who the three prominent sisters are.

“All three walk confidently. Because they are the main characters of the day.”

He patted Millene, who was shrinking from people’s gazes, and led the party.
I sprayed glares around him, intending to pluck out his tongue if he quarreled with him. A few people who met my eyes hurriedly averted their gazes, but it seemed that no hero attacked me. Huh.

“I received an invitation from His Majesty the King. Where can I go?”
“Welcome. I will guide you to the Great Hall of the Throne.”

Knights with weapons were guarding the main gate of the palace. After showing them the letter, he started guiding them into the castle.

As at previous National Day parties, figures dressed as nobles were all walking in one direction. If there is a difference from then, is it that everyone is making serious faces?
I was able to arrive naturally by walking in the same direction as them. In a place called the Great Hall of the Throne.

“It’s nothing compared to the grandiose name. It’s just wide.”
“Young master.”

Melissa stabs her in the side at my nonsensical remark. The knight who guided her also had a grim face.

But it’s true. It was just a large space with no decorations. There was only a pair of fancy chairs, presumably reserved for the King, on the podium in front.

“Hohohohohohohohohohohohoho. That’s why it was built for that purpose, so it’s natural. Count Yuzu Brillante.”

It was Elizabeth’s grandfather, Chancellor Pervert. Behind the chancellor, two knights exuded a formidable atmosphere.

“Oh, pervert…”
“Your Excellency. It’s been a while.”

Melissa cut me off and intervened with the old man to greet her.
Grandpa Pervert speaks to me with a relaxed expression without even wearing a mask. In such a bright light, she could only be seen as a nice-looking grandfather.

“Long time no see, Miss Melissa Redstar. And daughters of the Redstar family. This old man apologizes on behalf of the kingdom for the misfortune that has happened to your family.”
“Huh. If you’re sorry for killing someone because you were accused of something wrong?”

At my words, Minerva pokes her side as if to please be quiet. She did what everyone else said, but she couldn’t thank her.

Then the chancellor said as if lamenting.

“That’s true. We failed to deal with incompetent and corrupt nobles in time, resulting in the sacrifice of good and loyal nobles like Viscount Redstar. And today, we are here to correct that mistake.”

Grandpa Chancellor nodded his head with a bitter expression.

“Going back to the previous story, the name of this place is the Great Hall of the Throne. When invaded by foreign powers, this will be the last line of defense for His Majesty the King. There is no need to decorate it with fancy decorations. Isn’t it beautiful functional beauty?”

When I heard it, it seemed so. A picture of the battle taking place in this corridor was drawn in my head.

The king and queen guarding the throne. And the knights who set up a defensive line in the corridor to protect the royal family.
Enemy advancing. Clashing spears and swords. A resounding scream.
However, if it was penetrated this far, the outcome of the battle would already be visible. The only ending that came to my mind was the enemy soldiers killing the king and raping the queen.

“And another name for the ‘Great Corridor of the Throne’ is also called the ‘Great Corridor of Purge’. Do you know why? It’s because many traitors left in history were purged right here.”

The chancellor spoke as if he were telling his grandson an old story. Although the contents were not beautiful enough to be told to her grandson.

“And the reason why everyone gathered today is to show the place of the purge. To prevent this from happening again, to correct the wrongs of the past and open a new future. You will see the new history of the kingdom today with your own eyes. That’s it.”

The prime minister said to the other nobles around him.
Most of the nobles here seemed unaware of what had happened all night. All you know is that there was something so important that it suddenly took a convocation.

“Then let’s get to work. Bring the sinners.”
“Ancient!”

Following the Prime Minister’s words, the knights rush out. And when they returned, the prisoners were brought along, chained together like clusters of grapes.

At the head of the group of prisoners was the Earl of Pig’s Head. Did he say his name was Count Louis Derune?
But he still couldn’t see what he used to be, except for being fat. One of his arms was wet with red blood, as if he had been beaten with a knife, and his head was covered in blood from being beaten with a haircut.

It looks like he was beaten badly during his arrest. The hideous appearance left Melissa speechless as well.
I can’t. Shall I speak to you too?

“Hey. Pig Count. Long time no see.”
“It’s big, yup yup…!”

The pig count stared at me with bloodshot eyes and tried to say something, but his words were blocked by the gag in his mouth. Seeing the Count Pig with a muzzle reminded me of a whole roast pig with an apple.

“From the looks of it, it looks like today will be the last time I’ll see Count Pig. Melissa. Why don’t you say goodbye?”

But she didn’t say anything, Melissa only shuddered thinly. She’d rather be half mad and run to kill.

Look at that. She’s just trembling, so rather the pig gets excited and tries to run.
Fortunately, before I could step out, the knight next to me threw the Count Pig to the ground and pressed it down.

“Kuhh!”

The sound of air escaping from the pig’s mouth was heard.

“Earl Pig. If you want to die peacefully, stay calm. If you really want to die horribly, I won’t stop you even if you go wild.”

The pig count glared at me until he became like that. His eyes were unpleasant, so I stepped on the pig’s head with his foot.

“His Majesty enters!”

Just then, the loud voice of a knight was heard.
All personnel, including the chancellor, bowed their heads and knelt in place. Of course I followed it too.

A few footsteps walk towards the throne on the platform.

My body was itching to stay still, so I raised my eyes and decided to check what His Majesty the King looked like.
The appearance was just as I imagined, the middle-aged man with a decent appearance and fancy clothes was probably the king, and the beautiful woman next to him, but with a disfigured complexion that looked like she was going to collapse at any moment, was the queen.

The King and Queen sat side by side on chairs on the platform, and the Crown Prince and Elizabeth stood side by side.
I gently waved her hand at Elizabeth, and she smiled a little as if she recognized me too.

“Everyone raise your head.”

Everyone rose from their seats and raised their heads at the solemn order of His Majesty the King. The only thing still crouching was Count Pig, crushed to the ground.

“Thank you for attending today despite the sudden invitation. Everyone must be curious. What the hell happened?”

His Majesty’s leisurely voice echoed through the hall. Those stern eyes turned to the pig count pressed to the ground.

“In the meantime, there has been a corrupt nobleman who has been eating away at our kingdom. He has been conspiring with the kingdom of Wilheim, selling secrets and receiving bribes. Also, he blamed the good nobleman for his crimes, and Jim foolishly believed the false evidence and became a good man. I punished a nobleman. Everyone will remember the name. Viscount Nautilus Redstar.”

When her name was mentioned directly, she felt a strain on the shoulder of the sister next to her.

“Daughters of House Red Star.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”

The three sisters respond side by side in unison.

“From this moment on, I will undo all the dispositions imposed on the Red Star family. I will be able to claim the name of Red Star as before, and I will return all confiscated property. Also, I will confer the title of Viscount to Minerva Red Star, the second daughter. Viscount Minerva Redstar is elevated to the rank of Countess again. As Countess Minerva Redstar, let her continue her father’s will and remain loyal to the kingdom.”
“…The castle is ruined.”

Victory as a marginal piece.
While the king was speaking, there were no fools to complain about, but the atmosphere in the corridor was certainly subtle. A girl who hadn’t achieved anything as an aristocrat became a count overnight. It is only natural that there will be seeds that are dissatisfied.
However, considering the family members who died unfairly and the hardships they had suffered so far, it could be said that it was a natural compensation. If I were like you, I might have grabbed you by the collar and shook you to give you more.

“…The kingdom and the royal family will never forget the tragedy that happened to House Red Star. All of this happened because Jim was lacking. Please forgive me.”
“Congratulations, Your Majesty.”

Whiyu. Is Minerva a countess overnight? That’s great.
When I get home, shall we have humiliating outdoor exposure sex with our young countess? Wouldn’t it be okay if I just covered my face with a mask?

“Also, Honorary Count Yuz Brillante, who played a decisive role in uncovering the truth of the case and uncovering the traitors.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”

I was thinking about something else, so my answer was a bit late.
No no no no No matter how incompetent it is, it’s not good to show dislike to the king. Even for a peaceful life in the future.

“The Honorary Count of Brillante not only earned the title of Honorary Count on his own for his outstanding achievements as a Hunter, but also demonstrated his loyalty and qualities to the kingdom through this event. “
“The castle is ruined, Your Majesty.”

I, too, became an official count. This was not surprising since Elizabeth and I had discussed it beforehand.
But two counts in one house? So what’s going on? Living together doesn’t make sense.
Since the confiscated property was said to be returned, is Minerva getting her mansion back? So am I getting kicked out? Did you buy it with my own money?

Even while I was rolling my head, the king’s words continued.

“I heard that Count Brillante also petitioned for the life of Count Luiderun’s wife and children, but what is the reason for the petition?”
“Of course, I’m here to use you as a sex slave and to feed you as livestock for the rest of your life, Your Majesty.”
“Hmm?”

Oops. Because I was thinking about something else, I didn’t realize it.
It felt as if the temperature in the Grand Corridor had dropped by about 5 degrees.
