068 – Hyde! Returning to Agarpe Estate after a long time! # One

Nicholas is dead.

He was a guy who went back and forth like a bat until the end.

“You should have been castrated quietly like that.”

I tried to save Nicholas by castration.

I thought that no matter how great Nicholas was, if he was whipped by Roland, he would definitely die.

However, Nicholas did not hold on to the rope I gave him and instead went in, pouring oil into the fire pit on his own.

That’s why I can’t protect you either.

devil.

His body will be hung on a pole and decorated in the Veneto barracks?

It was meant as a warning that if anyone commits a crime, no good will come out of it.

“That guy named Roland is pretty good.”

Milione Archibald was amazed as he looked at the corpses lined up next to Nicholas’ body.

Milione is a human butcher who tears people to pieces with his bare hands.

He obediently acknowledged Roland’s skill in killing people with a whip.

I also came to acknowledge the Black Knight Roland in many ways.

There wasn’t anything big that could be considered a gap.

He was a man as mentally and physically strong as the armor he wore.

Indeed, it is worthy of being called one of the six knights of the church.

Was it now the 7th knight?

Of course, I knew better than anyone else that there are no perfect people in the world. Even I, who is more pious and faithful than anyone else, sometimes sins and has weaknesses.

Roland That guy definitely had a weakness.

“During the trial earlier. It seemed like Knight Roland reacted to the word love, right? So don’t you think you gave Madame Fontina a chance to be punished instead?”

I asked.

Then Milione, who was yawning, asked “what?”.

I was a fool to ask Milione.

Although I expected it, Roland clearly responded to the word love.

He is a knight with a gold plate who pledges chastity.

A body no one should love.

There must have been various circumstances.

Yesterday, I saw that you seemed to have a special relationship with Friede, the King’s secret concubine.

Wouldn’t investigating the relationship between the two be helpful in times of crisis that may arise someday?

Rather than that, Nicholas.

He died like a dog.

Suddenly, I thought about what it would be like if my identity as Rust was revealed and I died like a dog.

Is there anyone who will accept punishment for me then?

Psyche.

What would my love Psyche do?

While I was alone in my thoughts, we arrived at Daesinjeon Hall.

In the main hall, Lucy and nun Midnar, carrying a large bag, were waiting for us.

“Hyde! Millie!”

Whisper-.

Lucy hugged my body.

It smelled like peaches.

“You crazy bitch! Get away from me! This peach-smelling bitch!”

Milione always hated Lucy.

“How did you know I ate a peach last night? Millie is amazing!”

Of course, Lucy didn’t even care.

Lucy was busy looking around to see if Milione was angry or not.

“Psyche is here too! Psyche, my friend! Why is your expression so dark?”

Just as Lucy said, Psyche’s expression was dark.

Is it because several people were whipped to horrible deaths today?

No, Psyche’s expression had been a little dark even before Nicholas’ trial.

“Psyche, what’s going on?”

“Hyde, I thought calmly about the appointment of the 7th knight. Perhaps because it happened so suddenly, I couldn’t organize it very well. First of all, I will return to the Agarpe Estate to prepare for the investiture ceremony in Barakan… .”

We were planning to return to Agarpe Estate.

I need to go home for a while, replenish my stamina, and get my work in order.

“Psyche, are you going to become the 7th knight? Awesome!”

As Lucy exclaimed, it was truly amazing.

“Psyche, this is a great opportunity. You must seize this opportunity. Think positively.”

I also preferred Psyche to become the 7th knight.

Only then will we be able to check the movements of the Black Knight Roland, Friede, or Pope Gregory through Psyche.

But Psyche had many thoughts about this glorious appointment that everyone dreams of.

I thought I had made up my mind.

I wonder what would happen if Psyche, who had turned away, said “ too, and said ”.

Of course, as a person of Agarpe, a man steeped in the church, he could not refuse Pope Gregory’s direct edict.

“Tch, I have to go back to that boring territory?”

Milione seemed reluctant to head to the Agarpe territory.

I said very happily.

“Millie, you stay here at the convent! He was placed on probation for one year. Stay here at the convent and train and refine yourself! No need to go to Agarpe!”

The crazy woman Milione is abandoned in Veneto!

It was a great plan, I thought.

After all, I am smarter than anyone else!

Milione frowns while looking at me.

“What? No, you don’t need to. I’m already on probation.”

What are you talking about?

Everything that needs to go around goes around.

I’m doing everything I want to eat, do, and get angry about, but I’m on probation.

“Hyde, who is the most pious person in this world?”

“I am Hyde.”

“That’s what I’m saying. We all have accepted the Lord in our hearts and have become a temple, right? Hyde, being next to you is like being in a church or a convent.”

Very logical.

Sometimes I seriously wondered if Archbishop Archibald’s wife had an affair without her husband knowing and gave birth to Milione.

Because compared to Archbishop Archibald and his eldest son, Alter Archibald, his youngest daughter, Milione, was a very profane woman.

Could it be that there is no blood involved?

I had seriously thought about that, but as I watched them talk today, it seemed like Milione was Archibald’s daughter.

“Lucy, Sister Midnar. Then, let’s get on the carriage.”

Lucy.

She was invited by Psyche as a guest at the Agarpe estate.

And Sister Midnar was Psyche’s swordsmanship instructor and Lucy’s guardian.

# # #

It’s already been 15 days since we left Veneto.

We arrived at Agarpe Estate.

I was tired because it was a journey by boat and carriage, but seeing the Agarpe estate, where fall had already arrived, seemed to have already relieved my fatigue.

“You arrived home.”

Because it’s home-.

Whether I knew it or not, I thought of this Agarpe estate as my home.

Here was my father-in-law, my mother-in-law, and my brother-in-law Dihon.

“Sex!”

“Dihon, I told you not to say that!”

… Brother-in-law?

I became dizzy as I saw my brother-in-law Dihon, whom I had not seen in a long time, having his ears pulled by his mother-in-law, Countess Wilhemina.

What on earth is going on?

“Hyde! Our great son-in-law is back! Has anything happened so far? My face has become thin! Your face is so thin!”

Countess Wilhemina welcomed me like a mother welcoming her son back from a long journey.

It was a heart-warming moment in many ways.

After dealing with petty nobles and knights in Veneto and Florence, I felt a little at ease after experiencing the friendly people of the Agarpe estate.

I asked my mother-in-law, Mrs. Wilhemina.

“Mother, Prince Dihon’s health seems to have improved a lot.”

“Very good! These days, people climb trees and go up and down the hill several times a day. It’s all thanks to the medicine my son-in-law gave me!”

Wilhemina looked very happy, but also worried.

Without me needing to ask about the reason, the slightly awkward Countess told the story first.

“Maybe it’s good? Dihon, this guy is so obsessed with this guy’s book called Rust that he keeps saying mean things!”

“Hang, kimono!”

“… … .”

“Brother-in-law, by the way, Sir Lelan, the black knight who displayed his sincerity mode through Sir Lelan’s magic spell that appears in 「NTR」 called En Gimotin, is really very strong when handling the Black Flame Dragon. !”

It’s going to turn.

Where on earth did Dihon, a sickly but innocent boy, go?

When summer passed and the autumn water turned red, Dihon became strange.

Indeed, Mrs. Wilhemina has reason to worry.

Of course I knew how to solve this.

“At Confucius Dihon’s age, it’s easy to get influenced by things around you. Where did you read Rust’s book? A bit difficult for children to read─.”

‘NTR’, which I wrote, was an adult novel.

Even in the 21st century, if words like sex or pussy appear, even if no direct reference is made, you have to be labeled as 19 years old.

A pure and chaste man like me has “sex. If you say pussy.”, you should be judged as 19 years old just for that alone.

From the writer’s point of view, it was a bit disappointing, but from the priest’s point of view, it was natural.

Let underage children see what the characters in the novel say about “pussy.”and “cock.”.

Ugh-.

Dihon, now ten years old, saw something like that!

It’s a terrible thing!

“Mom, don’t worry. I will try my hand.”

Village of back alley nymphs.

The time has come to write the next volume.

Should I take a break and do some writing activities?

With that feeling, we unpacked.

A welcome party was held at the Agarpe Estate to welcome Lucy, Milione, and Sister Midnar, and it was a very grand and grand banquet.

It can be felt that the financial condition of the Agarpe Estate has improved.

There were many soldiers and knights.

Among them was Parmas, one of the six knights.

“Lord Hyde, welcome back to Agarpe Domain. Even if you hadn’t returned, this territory was already being run perfectly by Parmas with the help of Count Dovan.”

Parmas.

The oldest of the gold plated knights glared at me.

It seems like you hate me because of all the problems that happened in Florence, right?

I hate you too!

I also said while glaring at Parmas.

“Lord Parmas, now that we have returned, I think you may leave the Agarpe Estate. My wife Psyche became the 7th knight, and there are more troops available.”

The reason I called Parmas the Agarpe territory was because Agarpe suffered from a chronic shortage of resources and soldiers.

However, since Psyche was appointed as the 7th knight and the soldiers and knights under her command were scheduled to be dispatched from the church, the presence of the 6th knight, Parmas, was no longer necessary.

Sze-.

Parmas stroked his white beard.

“I came to this territory at your request to Archbishop Archibald. But I can’t back out now. I heard that Walpurgis is heading towards the wall of neglect.”

Walpurgis and the Wall of Indolence.

My eyebrows twitched at that story.

Okay, is it already that time?

Well, it was fall back then too.

Lucy, who was soon drinking water from her plate, asked.

“What is the wall of negligence? And this water is so delicious! Agarpe territory is a land with delicious water!”

“Lucy, that’s water for hand washing, not drinking water.”

Sister Midnar frowns.

Soon, Count Dovan, the owner of this estate, coughed loudly.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on him.

“A wall of neglect. This is a land that has many stories for Lord Parmas, Sister Midnar, and I. Oh, by the way, were we enemies back then? Well, isn’t the world amazing? We used to fight over the castle, but now we’re sitting around one table like this!”

The story would be about the war 20 years ago.

said Count Dovan.

“So, what do you think it will be like this time? If there are this many people, do you think you can break through the strong walls and take over the castle this time?”

「Wall of negligence」.

It was an incredibly strong place with walls built like mountains.

This is a castle wall built by Bildman, a rare builder, 500 years ago to block the forces of Uniger, the founding king of the country.

Of course, no matter how high the wall was built, it could not stop those who were with God.

Eventually, the castle was captured and became the territory of the United Kingdom.

Still, it was so strong that it was called an impregnable fortress that no one except the founding king had ever broken through during its 500-year history.

I also had quite a bit of trouble targeting that place when it was called Rust.

That’s because the idiot sitting in charge of the castle didn’t listen to me and attack me.

Sister Midnar sighs and falls asleep.

“Walpurgis witches are heading there. If they join hands with the Great Sin of Sloth there, it might cause trouble in many ways… .”

“Director, what is the deadly sin of sloth?”

Lucy asked curiously.

Lucy seemed to have too many questions about the outside world.

Milione answered this question.

“Aguiles. This is a man who was once called the strongest knight in the United Kingdom. He is the only knight to have received a platinum medal from the king. Because she was as fast as lightning, she was called Lightning Agiles, right?”

Agiles, the kingdom’s only platinum knight.

Imagining that existence, Milione clenched his fists.

Do you want to hang out with a strong person?

It was a very crazy year.

Doban also said something.

“He was a very strong man. I’ve fought against it a few times, but I’ve never won. No, he was so strong that no one here could defeat him. A man like that guarded the best fortress… .”

However, Parmas snorted and laughed.

“Count Dovan, isn’t that a very old story? Right now, he’s just a fool who hasn’t surrendered to the church and the king. You’ve been locked up in the castle walls and haven’t come out for 20 years, right? He might already be dead.”

no.

It didn’t die.

I know very well.

But I agreed that he was an idiot.

He was a fat man who stayed behind the walls and did nothing but eat and poop.

I can’t believe that Parmas is sitting in the Agarpe Estate because of that guy.

I’m very annoyed.

“I will take care of the fall of Taeman’s castle walls. As a side note, I will also finish The Witches of Walpurgis. Today’s date is September 2nd─. Just give me another 15 days. ”

Parmas was very upset by my story.

“15 days? under! What can you do with the walls that no one here has dared to climb over for 20 years? Do you know about the art of war? What is the siege plan? Baby, I’m not talking carelessly!”

Parmas.

He spoke as if he was proud of the castle walls that he could not capture.

Since he couldn’t do it, others can’t either – is that something like that?

“Parmas, if the walls fall and the Great Sin of Sloth surrenders within 15 days, you will have to call me master.”

“Master? OK! If you succeed, I’ll call you Master and I’ll even dance naked on the street for you! But if you fail, I will personally whip you for proving your lies.”

“No! If Hyde gets whipped, he won’t be able to withstand even one blow and he will die!”

Psyche, who had been sitting quietly all day today, was very shocked and shouted.

We knew very well from what happened between Nicolas and Roland how terrible the whipping of a gold plated knight was.

As Psyche said, if I get even a single blow from the whip, I will die immediately.

I was really confident that I would die right away.

In fact, Parmas might be thinking of killing me too.

Did you hate it so much that I spoiled my disciple Selim?

No, it’s probably not because he cared for Selim, but because he didn’t want his reputation to be tarnished.

But there was no problem.

“Good. Then, if you do as I say, I too will whip Lord Parmas. I actually don’t want to see old people dancing naked. Who would want to see this?”

“Oh! Try it! You ignorant and stupid guy!”

What an ignorant and stupid person you are.

Five years ago, I had many nicknames, but there was one that I hated the most.

Rust of land grabbing.

I’ll show you why it’s called that.
