Chapter 33 – 033 – Hyde Poisons the Count’s Eldest Son! # One

033 – Hyde, poisons the eldest son of the earl family! # 1

“Rust, you horrible man!”

Psyche clenched her fists and trembled with a sense of justice.
It must be because of an incident that happened yesterday.

“Even though security was so tight, you raped Lady Milione! “This is a very terrible thing!”

The story that Milione Archibald was raped by Rust swept through the Agarpe territory in just one night.

When I heard the story, I was dumbfounded.

“How on earth happened…?” .”

“Hyde, I heard that while you lost your memory for a moment, Rust broke into the room, insulted Lady Milione, and ran away… ! How can this be… !”

How can that really be possible?

It’s amazing.

However, there was a reason for these rumors to spread.

Milione Archibald.

As she said herself, “Rust raped me…” Because he claimed, “!” Milione Archibald lost most of her memories of that time.

It was a truly fascinating story.

“Hyde, are you hurt? Are you okay?”

Psyche kept worrying about me.

They probably think that Rust neutralized me, who was protecting Lady Milione, with a terrible trick.

Fortunately, I was fine.

There were no injuries.

Of course, my heart and beliefs were on the verge of being tattered in many ways.

Who made me like this?

Without question, it was Milione Archibald!

That bad bitch!

“What is Lady Archibald doing now? Are you okay?”

“I don’t know if it’s because I was so shocked, but I can’t speak well, and I think I’ve lost a lot of my memories. I am currently resting in the VIP room. That would be a huge shock.”

As she said that, Psyche trembled and stamped her feet.
Kwasik-.

Just by stamping his foot, the floor of the mansion shattered.
Incredible power.

While I was trembling from its power, Psyche shouted in a very angry voice.

“How dare you pollute a woman’s chastity…” ! How dare she insult the Archibald Lady whom she was protecting in Agarpe… ! This is absolutely unacceptable… !”

“He’s a really bad guy.”

“Now Lady Archibald’s normal marriage is as good as gone… ! She is a defiled woman, so she will be criticized… ! How pitiful it is… !”

A woman who lost her virginity by being forcibly defiled.

Milione Archibald was a one-sided victim, but she had now lost great ‘value’ in this ignorant and barbaric world.

Of course, if you think objectively, she was not a victim.

Because fuck it, Rust never raped Milione!

The real victim is no one but me!

There is no damage to anyone except my hair roots, which are starting to fall out!

But I can’t say things like that.

I spoke with a generous heart.

“I feel really sorry.”

Me.

I feel sorry for you.

However, Psyche held my hand as if she was very moved by my story.

“Hyde, you feel sorry for Lady Milione, who was rude to you. Your heart is so big. If only all men in the world were as good and faithful as you… !”

Psyche’s eyes were bright.

It looked as if tears would flow down if I touched it, but-.

My conscience was so pricked that I could not bear to look into his eyes.

These days, I-.

Aren’t you telling Psyche a lot of lies?

I swore that I would never lie to Psyche.

Psyche seemed indignant again, perhaps aware of my agony.

“I think it’s really mean for the Archibald family to try to hold you responsible for this incident, Hyde. Hyde, you did your best to protect Lady Milione and Agarpe.”

It was like that.

I’m sure no one did their best as much as I did.

It was heartbreaking that no one recognized it.

But the Lord knows!

All my hard work and pain… !

# ​ ​​​ ​ ​ # ​ ​ #

Milione Archibald was lying comfortably on the sofa.

She didn’t seem to care whether her thighs were visible under her slightly rolled up silk blouse or not.

Zek-.

Soon Milione lifted her foot and tapped my knee, who was sitting across from her, with the sole of her foot.

“Hey, Hyde, say sex.”

“Miss Milione, as a true believer, you should not use such ungodly words.”

“Ha, it’s really not fun. It was fun when I was with Rust. It’s such a shame that I didn’t get to see that bare face this time. That man is really not a human being, but a ‘demon.'”

Saying so, Milione opened the tattered book The Demonic Sword.

Why are you so obnoxious?

It made me want to bite that thigh until it bled.

However, as there is a verse that says, “Even if you hate only with your heart, you are guilty of murder,” I decided to control my heart. I can’t be swayed by that girl.

I decided to scold Milione in a somewhat solemn voice.

“What should I do if I say that I was raped? “Is this a certain story?”

“What, are you saying I’m lying? I was really raped by Rust! “I won’t be able to marry into a decent family with a body so defiled.”

“…”

“Without being able to become a countess or marchioness… At best, she will only become the concubine of a conniving and conniving nobleman or priest. “That’s the way it is for non-virgins.”

That was correct.

What sane man would want to take this crazy woman as his bride?

At night, her head may turn around, and she may grab a knife and try to kill me.
No matter how pretty your face is, you can’t do it.

It was time to think like that.

“Hyde, won’t you take me as your second wife?”

“Fuuuuu-.”

I ended up spitting out all the tea I was drinking.

Thanks to that, Milione Archibald, who had become very wet, became angry.

“Hey!”

“No, I heard such an absurd story. She is my second wife. What does that mean? “Is she saying she wants to marry me?”

“It’s a dirty body anyway. If things continue like this, I will end up in a convent or become the plaything of evil nobles. Hyde, you are a monk. “Isn’t it necessary to save people in difficult situations?”

We have to save people in difficult situations.

But I think the person in the most difficult position right now is me!

This crazy bitch is going to be my second bride?

Are you crazy, let me bring a Tyrannosaurus into my home?

“Because I love my wife Psyche so much. “It would be a betrayal of my heart to take her as a second wife.”

“Do not lie. How many times do you think I’ve seen priests like you who pretend to be clean and have lovers behind their backs? You are just that kind of person.”

“Probably not.”

“So you don’t like me? I hate cowards like you, right? I don’t want to marry you either. But I am giving you a special favor.”

“Grace?”

“Because you failed to protect me this time, the Agarpe family will have to pay a huge penalty to Archibald, right? Do you know how much it is?”

“How much is it?”

“A thousand gold coins. This is the amount promised as a gift by the Count of Ormandy family, who wrote to me saying they wanted to marry me. In other words, I lost at least a thousand gold coins because of you.”

One thousand gold coins.

With that money, you could build as many mansions and fill them with servants.

If you donate that much money, even a commoner could receive the title of baron.

Are you going to demand that kind of money from the Agarpe family as compensation for damages?

You may be wondering what kind of nonsense this is, but in reality, the damage suffered by the Archibald family was enormous.

The second son dies horribly-.

Her youngest daughter was raped.

It was known that Rust was the culprit of the problem, but the Agarpe family, who had neglected security, was also partly responsible.

I would probably ask you to ask for about 200 gold coins, if not a thousand gold coins.

200 gold coins.

There was no way the Agarpe family, which was currently in a poor financial condition, would be able to exchange the amount that would go into the chest.

Still, should I ask just in case?

If you can send Milione away for 200 gold coins, it’s definitely a win!

“Son-in-law, this is the current financial situation of the Agarpe family. The Archibald family is demanding 300 gold coins as compensation for this damage. These thieves… !”

Count Dovan.

He frowned and cursed as he looked at the account book spread out in his office.

“We owe 500 gold coins to the Central Iron and Blood Company every year! In the meantime, changing 300 gold coins, damn it… !”

Indeed, when I looked at the ledger, the financial condition of the Agarpe family was miserable.

The debt is increasing in the historic count family?

When I looked into the problem, there was nothing that could be called a ‘fixed income source’.

There is nothing to call it a special product.

And most of the money earned from the manor is being used to pay for Young master Dihon’s treatment.

Selim This was because this ignorant bastard was eating up a huge budget of 20 gold coins a month under the pretext of treating Dihon.

One year is 200 gold coins.

Selim, this bastard.

It definitely seems like they’re stealing money.

The promised week is slowly coming to an end.

Selim, let’s sort this bastard out—when I thought about that, Doban made a groaning noise.

“Hyde, the archbishop said in a letter that if you take Lady Archibald as your wife, he will write off the entire compensation. It is a very humiliating story for us.”

That would have been a humiliating story.

The son-in-law of the count’s family.

The moment he takes his second wife, the Count Agarpe family will be reduced to a laughing stock in many ways.

Soon Psyche, who was looking at the ledger, shouted.

“What happened to Lady Milione is very unfortunate and pitiful, but becoming Hyde’s second wife is another thing! As for Milione, her personality is… It’s bad… !”

It was my first time seeing Psyche gossiping about others.

But that was also a good thing to say.

Milione is a psycho!

She might try to kill me, her husband, on the first night!
But my answer was already decided.

“Whatever, I will take her daughter Milione as my second wife. But please keep this one thing in mind. My father-in-law and Psyche. “I am an Agarpe person.”

“Hyde, you… !”

Psyche looked at me and held my hand with tearful eyes.

What on earth do these bright eyes mean?

“Hyde, I didn’t know you had such a big heart. For the sake of our family, I would take a woman I don’t like, much less a woman who is so rude, as my second wife…”

Kuwoouk-.

Psyche’s grip on my hand began to grow stronger.

“I guess this is all because I’m not good enough. If I could have protected you and recognized the Rust invasion and prevented it… ! If only I had more power… !”

Psyche’s self-blame had some truth.

If Psyche had become so strong that she could have driven Ras away, I wouldn’t have had to do funny plays.

But what can you do about something that has already happened?

“Psyche, your heart will be gratefully received.”

I had already made up my mind.

Milione.

Although she was a bitch, there were many benefits to taking her as a second wife.

Unless you can run away from him, it’s better to keep him around.

That way, you can watch for any accidents and react immediately.

And now was the time when the power of ‘Ras’ was needed.

“My father-in-law, Psyche, it’s just my opinion, but Walpurgis will probably begin to move in earnest.”

Walpurgis.

At that name, Doban’s expression became serious.

“Those witches are going to move? Especially at a time like now? Aren’t they all fearsome heretics with gold coins as bounties! “It seems like it’s been active for over 200 years!”

It was like that.

Walpurgis was a gathering of witches who were just starting out, to the point where the ‘Crescent Sisters’ seemed like cute younger siblings.

They say there are ‘real witches’ there.

“It appears that the large woman who killed Lord Baldwin, the One-Eyed Knight, was from Walpurgis. Now that she has been killed by her new ‘seat of sin’, Walpurgis will want to investigate her truth.”

Walpurgis members had strong pride. Should I say that we are proud of being an organization that has been active in each region for a long time, including Durgien?

But this incident must have hurt their pride.

“Also, it is clear that the newly emerged entity called ‘Rust’ will greatly offend them. The Agarpe Estate could be caught in the fire and suffer great damage.”

“It sounds like there is strife among heretics. If they fight among themselves and destroy themselves, it would be of great benefit to us—.”

Count Dovan sighed.

He held his face in his palm and spoke carefully, as if confessing an embarrassing truth.

“Son-in-law, I am embarrassed to say this, but now that Loras and Tristan are dead, the defense of our Count Agarpe family is in a dire situation. In this situation, if the witches go on a rampage…”

“Yes, that is why I am taking Lady Archibald as her second wife. “As soon as Prince Dihon is cured, I will go to Florence.”

“You’re heading to Florence?”

Psyche was surprised.

I answered seriously to that expression that seemed to ask what this meant.

“I plan to meet with Archbishop Archibald and have the Knights Templar dispatched to me legitimately. If we do well, one of the six knights might come to Agarpe.”

If the Witches of Walpurgis were monsters of sin beyond the human realm, the “Six Knights” Of the Knights Templar were the bulwark and shield of humanity.

The six knights who were the opponents of Pope Gregory when he selected the six great sinners.

Or their disciples and descendants.

Superhumans who inherited their names, weapons, and skills from great knights.

If we can bring them to Agarpe, Agarpe’s defense will be strengthened… !

And you will be able to drive out heretics efficiently, and if you do well, you may even be able to kick out Lass by scolding him-.

As expected, I was perfect.

“Then, since the medicine has been completed, let’s cure Prince Dihon’s illness right away.”

Medicine made from foxglove grass.

When I thought it would be completed, I was filled with anticipation.

When we stood in front of Dihon’s room, Selim stopped us.

“Count, please stop! Foxglove grass is a grass called ‘witch grass’! Eating just a little bit of that leaf can cause fatal poisoning! It’s all Hyde’s plot!”

“Hyde, is that really true?”

Doban was very surprised and asked me.

Is foxglove grass poisonous?

That was right.

When I didn’t open my mouth, Selim continued to talk, perhaps because he thought he had won.

“It’s called witch grass because the witches of Walpurgis used it to kill people! Making medicine from such a herb is literally an act of poisoning! I will put my honor and the honor of my master, Six Knight Lord Parmas on the line! So please stop Hyde!”
