120 – Scene 120# bounty
*
I felt like my head was going to go crazy with ‘anger’.
It had been a long time since I had been so angry.
Wendy is a character who shares life and death with me.
In other words, Luna touched my wrath.
I even thought of killing Luna by twisting her neck.
But you have to be patient.
Even if all the efforts so far are not to be made in vain.
“… … .”
Taking a direct hit from my ‘wrath’, Luna stood motionless.
However, like other characters, he did not faint or tremble in fear.
Rather, he was looking up at me with his head lifted stiffly.
Indeed, the emperor was the emperor.
In the midst of my ‘rage’ where I couldn’t even breathe, she was holding on with her teeth clenched.
Only hatred stands against me.
But… .
“… I can also slit your neck, Emperor.”
I opened my mouth, holding down the boiling ‘rage’.
“I can purify all those who are hostile to me. We may go further and destroy even this empire.”
Without avoiding Luna’s stare as if to kill her. Her hatred was countered with my ‘pride’.
“Everything is easy for me. Luna Meikahel.”
Like the original Tristan, I can get rid of her without getting my hands dirty.
“There is such an easy way, but the reason I didn’t bother to do it is because it’s just a waste of time.”
Less than one year left. Players will soon be devastating this world.
It would be a waste of time to engage in an all-out war with the imperial family before then.
The reason I asked for a private meeting was also to elicit the emperor’s cooperation.
I’m here to show a friendly side to the end.
However, if it comes out like this, I have no choice but to warn you clearly.
“There is no time to fight when the warriors have appeared. But if you’re going to kill a hero simply for the purpose of provoking me… .”
Kwajik-.
I trampled her mask on the floor with my foot.
“I can assure you, I will make you the most pathetic being in the world.”
“… … .”
Shards of broken masks scattered around.
The moonlight shining through the window shone sharply.
I took the ‘wrath’.
Then, he coldly fired at Luna, who was barely breathing.
“I was thinking highly of your abilities.”
“…what?”
In the original story, Luna was the emperor who defended the empire without yielding to the pressure of the mighty Ruelberta family.
She restored some of the authority of the imperial family, which had fallen to the ground by Millium, and sharpened her blade of revenge against Ruelberta.
Even if she hadn’t been killed by Tristan, her performance in the original work would have been much more important.
“Ever since you became emperor, the empire has grown steadily. It’s not as much as in his heyday, but compared to the time of the previous emperor, Maxim-.”
“Shut that mouth.”
Until a while ago, my complexion was pale due to my ‘anger’, but Luna’s eyes were even more venomous.
“dare… . don’t put it in your mouth Father’s name… . Coke.”
“… What I want to say is that you are an excellent emperor. It must be thanks to your abilities that the empire can see its former glory.”
At those words, Luna sneered.
“under… . That’s funny. Did you think Jim would like hearing you say that?”
“Whether you like it or not, I don’t care. I’m not an idiot to please you.”
“cheeky… . Are you saying that to me when you’re a servant?”
“Ten years is too early to treat me as a subject.”
“what? If that’s the case, why did you come to Chilsung? It’s not a place for someone like you.”
“Speak straight. I entered Chilsung. As proof, the members of Chilsung accepted me as one of them.”
“… good. don’t admit that So what happened to the title? Why do you have the title of count when you have no intention of becoming my servant?”
“It’s just something I have because I like the tone.”
“what? What a crazy person… .”
Luna glared at me resentfully, as if she couldn’t refute my words any longer.
I decided to use her hatred from now on.
“Then tell me the main point. My business is simple. Prepare for war immediately. If it’s the current imperial army, it’s just helpless.”
“… Are you saying to increase the number of troops in the Imperial Army?”
“Numbers are important, but up the quality. There are too many ragtag people.”
“Aren’t you ignoring Jim’s army too much?”
“Fortnight.”
I said quietly.
“In 15 days, Aslan can destroy the Imperial Army.”
“The bluff… .”
“How many wars does the Imperial Army go through in a year?”
“what?”
“Aslan spends most of the year wiping out monsters on the front lines. It is the most experienced military in the country. The Imperial Army, which lacks actual combat experience, is no match.”
yes. The period of 15 days is never a bluff.
I coldly warned Luna.
“You seem to be ignoring my enlisted men. If it’s just soldiers, even the escort knight I brought can deal with it. She has already been recognized for her outstanding military power in Aslan. The number of henchmen is meaningless to her.”
If Helga had been by her side, the corners of her mouth would have torn at my praise.
It’s a bit unfortunate that I can’t see her proud expression, but I can’t help it.
“… … huh.”
Luna still had a disapproving attitude.
Now she has no choice but to listen to me, but I wasn’t sure if she would obey.
If so, there is only one way left.
I opened my mouth.
“I know the cause of your hatred. I won’t tell you to hide it.”
Like Blanche, Luna’s hatred is justified.
Because she was a personality born out of hatred for Ruelberta.
“But only when your hatred is directed at me. If it goes to someone other than me, I will pretend there was no cooperation with you.”
“Cooperation? count… . Is that what you are saying? You mean Ruelberta… !”
“What I want to say is that this is only a matter between you and me.”
There was some truth in Luna’s words.
Because trusting the object you hate has never been easy.
So, I decided to make a suggestion.
An offer she could never refuse.
“You must want to kill me. Then don’t you want to kill me ‘directly’ with your own hands?”
“what… ?”
“Once a week.”
I said calmly.
“I will give you a chance to kill me.”
At those words, Luna’s red eyes sparkled dangerously.
“Did you say it was a chance to kill… ?”
“yes. Play a game with me once a week. You are free to choose the sport. If you beat me even once in that game, I will die at your hands.”
“… … Hmm.”
Luna’s eyebrows twitched.
No matter how you think about it, it would be strange.
It’s because it’s completely set the situation in her favor.
As if he was desperate to die to her.
“Are you ignoring Jim? Or are you talking about something you can’t even keep?”
“You are free to believe it or not. But I am a man who keeps his promises.”
“… … .”
The bait was cast.
Now just waiting for the bite.
After thinking for a while, Luna asked.
“… Even if Jim demands a game against you?”
“There is no game against me. I never give up.”
As I said, I was confident of winning any game.
Otherwise, there is no reason to make this suggestion.
Luna murmured, as if taken aback by my impudent attitude.
“Did you see all this crazy guy… .”
“Why? Are you sure you can’t beat me?”
“You guys… .”
“Otherwise… .”
I approached Luna.
I grabbed her hand.
“… ?!”
“You mean you can’t hit my neck with these slender arms?”
“Don’t touch it with those dirty hands!”
Luna vigorously shook her hand.
Unlike Lucy, Luna has a mysophobia.
Even though the hand was held over the glove, it fired at me as if it was extremely disgusting like before.
“Just put a hand on Jim’s body. Then you will die with Jim.”
“Funny. i won’t kill you Also, I have no intention of expulsion from the position of emperor. but… .”
I said with a laugh as if it were funny.
“I will have you.”
“…what, what… ? do you have us?”
“yes.”
‘Pride’ and ‘greed’ wriggled in me.
“It would be a pleasure to occupy a superior person like you. If you can’t beat me even once in a game, then be prepared.”
“This, this cheeky… !”
Luna’s face turned red with shame.
“So you’re going to play the game to take my life?”
“OK! Let’s do it. Jim does not shy away from challenges!”
I was caught.
Seeing Luna showing off her spirit, I nodded my head in deep satisfaction.
“It’s nice to see you confident. I will only look forward to the day you kill me.”
“under… .. I don’t even want to see you anymore. Get out of sight right now.”
“It will happen even if you don’t say anything.”
Luna gestured as if she was tired.
As I was about to turn around, I suddenly remembered something I had forgotten.
“By the way… . Where is the commendation for bestowing me?”
“… !”
At those words, Luna’s expression hardened.
Looking at the reaction, I wonder if it is not there. I wouldn’t have thought of giving it in the first place, but… .
“Isn’t there too?”
“… there is.”
Luna clicked her tongue and said.
Struggling, she stood up and spoke in a solemn voice.
“I, Luna Meikahel, will acknowledge the achievements made by Tristan Ruelberta as my Seven Stars.”
When I asked what I was going to do, it was all I could say.
Luna’s voice caught me just trying to leave because I was dumbfounded.
“hey. take it.”
A piece of black cloth fell in front of me.
I wanted something, but it was her gloves.
“It’s Jim’s bounty. If you throw it away, you will be beheaded.”
“… … .”
Maybe because of the mysophobia in the setting, I wore gloves every day and threw them away.
In fact, it is a bounty, and it is no different from giving away garbage.
I gave her a glove that had fallen to the floor.
Seeing that, Luna laughed.
“Cook cook… . Take it and make it an heirloom.”
“You’re wet.”
“What… ?”
I lifted my glove and said.
“Looks like your hands are sweaty.”
“Yes, you bastard! Don’t talk too much… !”
“Even the emperor of an empire is no different. Seeing how nervous you are.”
“this person… . this person… !”
Luna covered her hand and trembled as if she had been stabbed to the point.
It was her first look.
A face mixed with shame and shame. It was somehow her age-appropriate reaction, so it even looked very cute.
“As you said, I will make this an heirloom.”
“Drop it! Get rid of that filth right away!”
Before I opened the door to the audience room and left, I spoke to the furious Emperor.
With the face of an infallible villain.
“I refuse because my life is precious.”
