The Blood Knight’s Villains

My Villains Episode 466

66. The Silver Prince (21)

An unknown hill on the west side of Angst Under a tent pitched in a lump.

Sixteen prominent figures with a reputation throughout the continent sat together at a crude table.

I took another look at the six-person room of the imperial side, who had volunteered to sit behind the chair, but was unable to overcome the emperor’s repeated insistence and sat with them.

Suho-gyeong and Geombaek enemies were familiar, but the rest were new faces. However, it was not difficult to infer their identities thanks to all three having distinctive appearances. Also, before our side could even speculate inwardly, for some reason the excited emperor added the introduction.

“First, the noble lady at the end is ‘Ishidirin’, the head of Linhau.”

‘Linhow on the Mountain’ is a school of magic located in the Empire, and is considered to be the root of sorcerers who cast destructive spells. The person at the apex of Linhow was the old woman Isidirin right in front of him.

She wore a conical hat with a veil and a kirtle that fluttered like several layers of thin fabric, but the wand or wand that wizards usually hold was invisible, so she looked like an elderly noblewoman on the outside.

“They have extensive knowledge about tea, but they all have sophisticated tastes, so they are the best tea time partners.”

It sounded too simple to be an introduction to a terrifying saboteur called ‘Issidirin of Ruin’ or ‘Hand of Crushing’, but Isidirin just sat there silently as if he had no complaints.

“The lady over here is ‘Surfmillez’. A master magician and a resourceful businessman.”

The woman was the owner of an unusual appearance as much as the name Surf Miles.

The translucent rock-like skin was covered with a robe that looked like it was ripped from the carapace of a large insect. Under the hem of the short sleeves draped over the elbows, a bracelet that seemed to have been carved out of stones and bones and strung on a straw rope was revealed.

“A woman with both hot passion and cool reason. I can guarantee you that no other beauty in the empire will be as attractive as her.”

…well. I don’t know about cold-heartedness or charm, but I can admit one passion. How passionate he must have been, since he was a madman who replaced his flesh and skin with a crystal containing mana, claiming that his flesh and skin were not useful for magic.

“Lastly, my guest and friend, ‘Kamos’. You are the hunter who once dominated ‘Marag Gorge’ and ‘Mount of Eternity’.”

He was a man with a massive build that reminded him of Utequai.

However, unlike Utequai, who had a typical strong body and boasted a large barrel, Kamos had broad shoulders and a thin waist that contrasted with log-like thighs. Its limbs are also long, so it is probably quite agile for its size.

Wearing composite armor made of a mixture of leather, scales and steel, and other materials, the sword, which was about two meters long and more than a span wide, was lightly driven into the ground and leaned against his shoulder. The sword was an object that could not be seen for actual combat, but considering Camos’ size and nickname, it was probably not a bad thing.

“These days, I am using my rich experience to talk to people who have been scolded for migration. I don’t know how long I’ll stay with him because he’s so free like the wind.”

Kamos, one of the few sword masters in the empire and often called the ‘dragon slayer’, was a young man with a very naive impression, not befitting his prestige or size.

“…Camos.” Seeing the emperor’s introduction scratching his head as big as a pot lid and then opening his mouth, it made me wonder if the Mencius who was said to have slaughtered the ‘Green Dragon Marag’ was true.

After the introduction of his subordinates, King Ruilix II looked back at each of our characters this time. Since I had already given a rough greeting, I went ahead and introduced myself as Princess Theodora, Baron Atalante Luyan, Sir Ariad, and Sir Layam, and the emperor nodded his head in admiration.

“Yes, I am happy to meet the heroes of the Milanol Kingdom. It was good that you brought out the troops yourself. I haven’t fought a single battle yet, but it feels like I’ve already achieved results.”

It was a place where several of the continent’s strongest people gathered, but King Ruilix II’s attitude was unmatched. Leaning back against the backrest and brushing down his red beard with the back of his hand, as if he were enjoying a vacation with his relatives, he overflowed with leisure.

“If Your Majesty makes a decision, that feeling will become a reality right now.”

On the other hand, Prince Ulkar looked a bit nervous. There was still a relaxed smile on his lips, but his navy blue eyes were shining like swords.

Whether he knew this or not, the emperor nodded while stroking his lush beard.

“What would it be? As soon as I accept your offer, the call of change will stop.”

“This is nonsense, Your Majesty!”

The guardian guard seated to the right of King Ruilix II stared fiercely at the middle-aged man who raised his voice in front of the emperor.

However, the Duke of Avillambus let out an angry roar with his beard shaking as if there was nothing to see.

“Since King Judvik III issued an edict in agreement with the former electors in the last century, the electors have never lost their territories, but their rank has never been split! Don’t listen to the absurd words, Your Majesty!”

At the duke’s mantra that was close to shouting, King Lou Elix II didn’t get angry or express displeasure, but instead said, ‘I heard that it is?’ With a smile on his face, he showed both palms to Prince Ulkar. At this, the prince looked back at the duke and said calmly.

“As stated in the edict mentioned, the position of elector is given to the family. It means that the individual does not own it. The position of elector of the Strom family will not change.”

“dog sound!”

The fire-breathing gaze of Duke Avillambus was this time directed at Princess Theodora, who was sitting in a corner seat.

“In the first place, that girl has the right to succeed is nonsense!”

My uncle, who was glaring at my niece savagely, pointed at her and appealed to the emperor.

“The former head of the Strom family, the former Elector Count, and my only brother, Guelambus, decided to inherit the former Countess and family land right before his death!”

“Uh-home.”

“I entrusted everything to my younger sister, who took care of Yeongji’s business, instead of my three ill-mannered, cruel, and ill-mannered sons and immature young daughter! For the sake of the door!”

King Ruilix II rested his chin on his face, looking interested, then glanced back at Princess Theodora.

Scared to do so, Theodora, who abandoned her usual benevolent mood and hardened her face like ice, opened her mouth.

“…like a filthy murderer.”

“Be careful with your words, girl. I am your uncle, and I became the head of the family through due process more than ten years ago.”

The duke took a deep breath and glared at the princess with a sneer.

“And you cut off all ties with the world by taking monastic vows. But now you’re claiming the right of succession? Please say something sensible, you idiot bitch!”

While Theodora clenched her fists at the unheard-of verbal abuse, Aramos quietly restrained Avilambus.

“Please refrain from talking, Your Highness. She is a Paladin of the Order of Calandari, and was anointed by three Red Bishops, including myself. The slander against her is-”

“Please refrain from the Bishop or the Word!”

The duke cut off Bishop Hong’s words and fired back at them in a cold voice.

“It’s not me that the bishop should stop, it’s that bitch!”

“Your Majesty, the word girl-”

“The Holy Knight of the Order who made a vow to give everything to the Lord already ten years ago is blinded by greed and insists on taking possession of the territory! As a leader of the religious world, you should be ashamed of yourself for not holding back or punishing them, just idly watching!”

“Sir Theodora confessed that her first vow was compulsory. If a problem arises as a result of that, it should be settled by resorting to a secular trial.”

“Looking at it now, the reason the paladins act like morons is because they all resemble my superiors! Somewhere in the canon law there is a passage that says that vows made by force are invalid or irreversible! How did you sit on the bishop’s throne without even knowing the canon law properly?”

A duke who speaks in a well-thought-out manner despite being very excited. A bishop who tries to answer calmly, even though his face is red

. Just as I was about to step out, Prince Ulkar spoke one step ahead.

“My niece’s claim to the right of succession is not out of greed.”

“Get out of here, you son of a northern savage scoundrel!”

The prince smiled at the duke’s loud shout.

“You have a long tongue.”

“What!”

“Shut up, you incompetent loser. How dare you open your mouth to the subject of a terrifying defeat against an army that is less than half your own.”

“…this profit!” While Abillambus was speechless in shame, Prince Ulkar looked back at King Ruilix II and continued.

“Theodora’s exercise of her rights is for justice, not for her own profit.”

“Justice.”

The emperor muttered, ‘Hmm, that’s a nice word,’ and nodded as if to continue. The prince looked back at the princess and gently comforted her.

“Tell me what you prepared. There is nothing to hesitate because the bright Lord is with you.”

“…yes.”

Princess Theodora, who snorted vigorously with her rosy lips tightly closed, turned her head quickly and glared at Duke Avilambus.

“Did you say I have no rights?”

“What kind of rudeness you dare to treat the head of the house-”

“You are not the one to judge that.”

Small sparks flew out of her pale green eyes.

“If it is truly dishonest to assert my rights here and now and to take just revenge on you.” It didn’t take a single breath for the small spark to turn into a raging white flame.

Jjaeng!

Divine brilliance exploded in all directions around Princess “Q” .

Theodora took a step closer to Duke Avillambus, who was groaning and frowning.

“Everything the Lord has done for this lowly maidservant will be reaped.”

“What kind of bullshit is that crazy-”

“Look at me. Keep your eyes open!”

Seeing Theodora, engulfed in white flames and looking like an angel in the Bible, the duke gasped and took a backward step.

“Do I look like an immature child blinded by greed and telling lies?”

“…huh heh heh. Damn-”

“Answer me.”

What he saw in the angel’s eyes made Duke Abillambus breathless. To do so, I stepped back with a pale face for a while, and then I hit my butt.

Princess Theodora, looking down at the pathetic figure, quietly reaped her divine power.

mate mate mate.

“Excellent.”

Following applause and murmurs of contentment, King Ruilix II gestured towards the bewildered Duke of Abillambus.

“Anyway, it seems that the Lord’s role is over. It’s fine if you just leave.”

At that gesture, Camos, the ‘dragon slayer’, lifted the peacock by the scruff of his neck and tossed it out of the tent.
