“Xandra! Monica!” (Harold)
““!?”” (Alexandra/Monica)
The knife that should have been coming from the front somehow closed in from behind in an instant.
“Tch!” (Alexandra)
“How troublesome.” (Monica)
Xandra clicked her tongue and Monica furrowed her brow, barely managing to avoid the knife.
It seemed there was no follow-up attack, and the knife embedded itself in the ground.
But this…
“Teleportation magic… is it?” (Harold)
“Unfortunately, that’s not it.” (Kaspar)
Kaspar shook his head, but I couldn’t take his word for it. In fact, what I had witnessed was a kind of teleportation magic, just like MacLaren’s.
“Both of you, behind me!” (Harold)
““Yes!”” (Alexandra/Monica)
At this point, if we got separated, it would be difficult to protect the two of them, let alone myself, so I braced my shield facing Kaspar.
“Hm… with such movements, it seems that even that scoundrel… is so incompetent that he can’t even see through his own son’s abilities.” (Kaspar)
“That ‘scoundrel’ you speak of, is it the king?” (Harold)
“Oh? Did my insult to my father offend you?” (Kaspar)
“Not at all. I just thought you understood well.” (Harold)
I wasn’t sure of his intent in dissing King Eibar, but at the very least, I couldn’t rule out the possibility that he had some connection with that man…
The last words of Sarah, who was killed with a knife to the forehead.
‘Do you think you can get away with this!? We have Eiba…!?’
She was definitely about to say King Eibar’s name. In that case, Kaspar might have a bad relationship with King Eibar, but maybe he worked with him purely as a business arrangement. In any case, I couldn’t let my guard down around this man.
“Well, whatever. I can’t be defeated by someone like you. I promised Uly that I’d ‘break fate,’ you see.” (Harold)
“…You, the son of a scoundrel, don’t dare to use the young master’s name.” (Kaspar)
It seemed like I had touched a nerve with that man. Just like he had attacked Xandra and Monica earlier, the knife that came from the front vanished, only to fall straight down from above.
“Whoops.” (Harold)
I easily deflected it with my shield.
Even if it’s redirected through teleportation magic, if it’s aimed at me, I’ll block it. It’s because… I have something I must protect, my important people.
“Now! Is that all you’ve got? With that, you won’t even touch us!” (Harold)
With a confident smile, I said proudly. I did it to gather all of Kaspar’s hate towards me.
At that moment…
“Stay quiet. Someone like you is a hindrance.” (Kaspar)
“Guh…” (Harold)
Kaspar must have thought he caught me off guard. Margo, who had circled behind, tried to attack, but was easily subdued by Xandra.
“But… Ha, I must tell Otou-sama and Onii-sama to urgently reassess the personnel of the Chevalier Household.” (Xandra)
Xandra looked down at Margo, who was being trampled, and sighed. It seemed like there were too many enemy spies infiltrating, even Monica’s real mother. I agreed with her on that.
“W-Wait! If you spare my life, I’ll surely be of use! If you know who our master is, you’ll understand the true ability of that man…!” (Margo)
While begging desperately, Margo’s words were cut off by a knife that flew out of her mouth, and she spat blood, dying instantly.
“Really, this mother and daughter talk too much. As expected, the scoundrel’s subordinates are of no use.” (Kaspar)
“Oh? Aren’t these two your subordinates?” (Harold)
“No, my master is only the young master. These two are shadows of the royal palace.” (Kaspar)
Ah, I see. Since Uly and King Eibar were working together, they only allied temporarily, without intending to be friendly. Also, since he had called King Eibar a scoundrel, there might be some bad blood between them. This might be related to the fact that the people of Nors were destroyed by the Dehaubalz Kingdom.
I wasn’t involved in this, though.
“So, what will you do? With this difference in strength, even if you flee, I won’t think of you as a ‘disgrace to the people of Nors’ or as ‘cowards from Nors.’” (Harold)
“!” (Kaspar)
Oh, that worked like a charm. Since he had been calling King Eibar a scoundrel, I figured this man would get angry if I insulted the people of Nors.
“Well, what will you do? Fight? Or run with your tail between your legs? It would be more amusing if you ran, so it could be a good story when I meet Uly.” (Protagonist)
“Indeed… first, I’ll carve up that noisy mouth of yours.” (Kaspar)
Until now, Kaspar had been attacking primarily with throwing knives, but now he wielded a knife and walked forward carelessly. It was as if nothing could block his path.
At that moment….
“Die.” (Kaspar)
Kaspar appeared behind me and swung down his knife.
So, this is his usual pattern.
“Indeed. It will be you.” (Monica)
“!? Go… go…” (Kaspar)
Monica, who had been waiting behind, stabbed a dagger knife into Kaspar’s throat.
