by fnovelpiaCeline and her son Jean accepted the boots and clothes distributed by the soldiers.
A suit-like leather garment consisting of boots, trousers, and a top made of expensive rubber rather than a water-resistant fabric.
Shit… Then that’s right.
Celine and others just frowned. They didn’t believe the words on the wall saying it was safe… but they still had hope for once.
There were people who didn’t know what environmental beautification was, but now everyone knows.
They are now going out to subdue the goblins-!!
Goblins are originally weak and the only weapons they use are crude wooden clubs.
There is no reason to provide armor and shields.
If it were winter, I would have gone out wearing thick cotton clothes and a meat shield, but now it was early summer and the weather was getting warmer.
Leather clothing with moderate defensive power was sufficient.
I should have been suspicious when I saw the high wages.
Celine regretted it, but it was already too late.
If you tell the soldiers with their eyes blazing that you are quitting, those spears will be pointed at you.
Even behind the soldiers, a man wearing silver-white armor that reflected the sunlight was looking at the people.
That person is none other than Knight Commander Leonira.
Celine gave up the idea of running away early on.
With the knights present, he might have been summarily executed for running away. And on top of that, he had already received two silver coins in advance.
Since I’m wearing leather boots and clothes, I won’t be seriously hurt by the goblin’s clubs, but I’ll just be hurt.
At least it would be nice if they gave me a sword… It seems that the rumors about the estate’s finances being poor were true. Celine braced herself as she touched the small dagger she had brought to her sternum just in case.
After Celine made up her mind like that.
It wasn’t long before she realized that she didn’t need to be prepared.
“Are you really saying that if I just do this, I’ll get 2 more silver…?”
“Mom. I’m going again!”
“Okay. Don’t fall.”
It’s just a simple task of cleaning up trash on the streets.
Just because they do this, they give this much money to their own children who are lacking in something…?
Of course, the work was hard. It was clear that shoveling the waste, putting it in a bin, and carrying it away was a very tiring task.
But these are people who cannot find normal jobs.
Even when they go out to subdue goblins with a meat shield, which they mistakenly thought was the case, there are many cases where they only get 2-3 silver.
Goblins are timid and tend to run away when faced with strong resistance, so in order to subdue them, it was important to buy time for the meat shields to be hit and for a siege to be formed.
Because of this, goblin subjugation is dangerous to the point that if you are weak or hit in a bad spot, you often end up with broken bones or even death.
Such a difficult and dangerous job only pays 2-3 silver.
How much can you get for other work?
That’s why people really liked this job called environmental beautification.
How can they make me do this for months-!!
There were smiles on people’s lips.
“I really can’t understand the Lord’s thoughts. It’s natural for there to be shit and urine all over the streets. Why do we spend money to clean it up?”
It’s natural to get bored when you work.
Is that why?
Someone was spouting off nonsense. To me, it was a symbol of forgetting the hardships of hard work by chatting, but to the soldiers, it wasn’t like that.
“Hey. What did you just say? Are you dissatisfied?”
“Oh, no.”
Iron Fist-!!
The man who spoke out against the words of the soldier holding the spear, even though he was a commoner, had no choice but to immediately lie face down on the floor covered in filth.
As someone who has no arms, he would have to abandon his young daughter at home if he did not do this job.
It was natural to watch the soldiers’ expressions. If they told him not to come out starting tomorrow because he was being lazy, he would regret his sloppy mouth for the rest of his life.
“Tsk. Wake up. Be careful next time.”
“Yes. Yes!”
Fortunately, the soldiers helped the man to his feet without saying a word.
“What’s going on there?”
“Loyalty! It’s nothing. I just gave you a warning because this ignorant worm dared to question what the department head was doing.”
That was the moment.
The soldier who was caught by Alpha, who was patrolling to see if the street cleaning was going well, was very nervous.
The person in front of you is someone who rose from a breeding company to the position of head of a department.
He is a person who has built a cooperative relationship with the Knights Templar to the point where even the Commander of the Knights Templar cooperates in this environmental beautification project, which he thinks is strange.
“Hmm. You’ve worked hard. Elisa. Can I get you some water?”
“Water.”
Alpha asks Elisha for water as if ordering someone below him.
But Elisa didn’t notice anything strange and just used her magic to create water out of thin air.
“Come here.”
“Sorry, sorry. Sorry!!”
“Hold your breath… ”
A lump of water the size of a person’s head floating in the air.
The man, whose face was covered in excrement due to having fallen to the floor, apologized repeatedly. However, Alpha paid no attention and grabbed the back of his head, slowly pulling him into the water.
“I, to that extent… .”
“Everyone, don’t make eye contact. We might be next… ”
At that sight, people thought that Alpha was a crazy and cruel person.
“Department Head. By now, even that ignorant worm would have known Alpha-nim’s intentions! Please forgive me just this once!”
At that sight, the soldier also bowed his head and asked Alpha for forgiveness.
As a soldier, I just gave a warning to someone who was complaining for no reason. But because I was caught doing that, a man ended up dying.
And that too in a horrible way, where they were forced to bury their faces in water and couldn’t even breathe.
I was sure it would come out of my dreams tonight.
“Shut up. How dare you gossip, you worm-like bastards? Next is you.”
However, Elisa seemed to not like the soldier’s appearance and immediately used magic to bind him.
‘What the heck? This is crazy.’
No matter how outstanding he is, Alpha is ultimately a modern person.
It was said that he did not understand medieval sensibilities!
I was just trying to wash her dirty face. I didn’t know when she would get sick in this condition.
For Alpha, whose idea was to stabilize the territory quickly by reducing the number of people affected by the Black Death as much as possible, a face covered in filth was out of the question.
“Elisa, stop it. The soldier was just doing his job.”
“You… I thought I survived thanks to the department head.”
As Elisa released the binding spell, Alpha took a breath and pulled the man’s face out of the water where it had once been.
“I’m sorry! Your Majesty! Please, save me! I have a daughter at home who can’t even speak yet!”
“Shut your mouth! You little bug!”
Elisha, a nobleman of great distinction by medieval standards, vented his rage against a man without an arm.
Wiggle…!
Alpha’s eyes began to curl at that sight.
“Elisa, I told you to stop.”
“… . I, I just… ”
Originally, with Elisha’s permission, Alpha and she would have been on equal footing.
But at some point, Elisa had no choice but to watch Alpha’s every move.
It was because Elisa had secretly visited the breeding room several times, and Alpha’s traces were left all over her body.
“Tsk.”
“… ”
Could that be the reason?
Elisa couldn’t say a word to Alpha, who was clicking his tongue as if he was displeased.
“This water is now dirty. Please throw it away.”
“Okay, sir.”
But Elisa could not help but smile slightly at the thought that Alpha still needed her, even though the words were almost like an order.
Chook-!
“Ah… ”
But that smile didn’t last long.
Alpha’s face was crumpled because of Elisa’s actions of wiping the face of a man with one arm and letting the water droplets that had formed into a lump of filth fall to the floor.
You’re dirtying the road again after it was just cleaned!!
Alpha couldn’t understand this. Sprinkling chili powder on the places where other people had worked hard!
“Elisa, please put it in the trash can next time.”
“I’m sorry.”
Elisa decided to keep her last bit of pride in the face of Alpha’s excessive attitude. She said sorry, not sorry.
‘Ha… I should make her as obedient as Helen.’
Since he was not an alpha who didn’t know that, he thought that he had to make Elisa into an obedient female like Helen as soon as possible.
“Stay still.”
“This, this is!!”
“It’s soap.”
Elisa’s mistake only required one warning.
Alpha was more concerned about this now than the female’s small mistake.
Washing with water alone does not mean you are clean. You can only say you are clean if you remove the bacteria and viruses with soap.
Alpha carefully wiped the opponent’s face.
The clothes were dirty, but since they were leather clothes that were made with the intention of getting dirty, I ignored that part.
“Elisa, can I have some water?”
“Water.”
Elisa created another large water drop with a slightly glum expression.
‘Ha! If only I were a woman…’
Now, I’m thinking that if the person Alpha was washing right now was a woman, he might have just killed her.
“All done.”
“, thank you.”
“Don’t get your face dirty from now on. You’ll get sick.”
“Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty!”
Alpha washed his face and then turned around and left. The area where the beautification is currently taking place is very large.
Alpha also had to move diligently to check what the problem was.
“Oh my! That expensive soap?”
“A high-ranking person like the department head personally cleaned it!”
“Even the water was made by a wizard!”
People were shocked again by the sight of Alpha wiping his dirty face.
The department head is a high-ranking person whom they hardly ever meet face to face.
Even if the opponent was a commoner, it could be said that they were on a different level.
That kind of person wipes your face himself-!!
People even began to wonder if they were dreaming.
“What are you doing! Don’t work fast! Are you going to betray the department head’s favor!”
The soldier who heard Elisha’s frightening words urged the people who were stunned to hurry up. Only then did the people start to clean up the garbage in the street again.
