Chapter 13 – Baron Leon (4)

-He’s so bad! How does he not remember a woman he slept with?!

-It could be because he slept with so many different women, he can’t remember every single one of them. It seemed like there were more women before the battle than during and after. And I’m sure there are more that are still hidden compared to the ones that are currently known.

Celestine vented her anger in Jade’s stead.

It was just way too unbelievable.

On the other hand, Elestra didn’t seem too surprised.

She had seen many of these situations among nobles, so this was nothing new to her.

-Well, I wonder if it doesn’t matter. Even if people knew, it wouldn’t make a difference.

-Let’s just kill them all! Leave it to me!

-Then what about the land? There won’t be any of it left over.

Jade inwardly smiled.

He knew well what would happen if he allowed Celestine to run rampant without a leash.

That’s why Jade restrained himself and instead took out what Lloyd had written from his subspace.

“This was sent to you by the Crown Prince.”

“……Yes.”

Belis’ expression became gloomy as he stared at the luxurious sealed letter.

It was because he could already guess what was written within the letter.

However, because he couldn’t just ignore the letter now that it was in front of him, Belis knelt down on one knee and carefully received it from Jade.

“Go ahead and read it.”

Gulp.

As Belis was still a noble of Paulstein, he swallowed his saliva and respectfully began to rip apart the letter.

And then, with a nervous expression, he slowly read the letter that was written by Lloyd.

“There one thing I’m curious about.”

“Please ask.”

“Why did you prolong coming here? The disposal of this family should have already been on the table.”

Belis asked with a stiff expression.

Yet, there was something unusual about him.

It felt like he would pull his sword out at any given moment.

“It’s because of me. I wanted them to prolong it.”

“You did?”

Jade spoke with a wry smile as Belis had now spoken to him without respect.

He asked Jade with the look of a predator getting ready to attack its prey.

“Yeah, you see, I wanted to get rid of you with my own hands. If I can, I want your death to be as miserable as possible.”

“Why is that?”

“It’s all for the sake of my mother who had to die while living her whole life in anxiety all thanks to you.”

“What?”

Belis’ eyes opened wide and it was the same for Carlton who was also beside him.

They were surprised because what Jade was saying was so obvious.

“To be honest, I held a little bit of an expectation from you, but as expected, you disappoint me. Either way, it doesn’t matter anymore, since I’m going to clean this place up nice and well.”

“Attack!”

Ba ba bang!

At the same time as Belis’ thundering cry, all the windows in the drawing room broke.

The knights had jumped down from the castle walls and rushed in through the windows all at once.

However, even with the surprise-like entrance made by the knights, Jade and Arelia didn’t seem to be too surprised.

“As I thought, you weren’t planning on quietly accepting your demise.”

“But I really didn’t think you would attack so openly like this. It’s now like you don’t know our fighting power either.”

“It’s all for the sake of stalling time. The two of them are already gone.”

“Oh no.”

Arelia’s eyes grew wide.

As the knights surrounded the three of them after rushing in through the windows, Belis and his son disappeared.

However, even as he knew this, Jade did not panic.

“Well, even if they do this, it’s not going to change the outcome.”

“That’s true. There are two Masters on our side.”

Although the knights were the ones that were surrounding the group, they were also the ones that were the most nervous.

Most of them had seen Jade and Arelia fight during the battle in Morton, so although they had surrounded the three, they did not dare to rush forward.

Even if they were to attack, they knew they would be the ones to lose their lives.

And, even from the beginning, Belis knew the knights wouldn’t be able to kill the three of them.

“To think he doesn’t realize that summoners are the best at pursuing inside a forest.”

“It’s probably because he thinks he’s used to the Great Forest.”

“But the real expert is you, Jade.”

“It’s not to that extent, but I do know a little.”

“I’m sure you know more than those two fools.”

Arelia jokingly laughed.

However, different from their leisurely actions, the knights that were surrounding them were currently filled with cold sweat.

Even though the two of them weren’t doing anything, the knights were completely nervous.

“That’s true.”

“It seems like they slowly made it out of the castle, shall we go get them?”

“Y, you can’t leave here!”

“We must do whatever we can to hold them back!”

The knights shouted as soon as Arelia finished speaking.

However, there weren’t many that actually stepped forward.

As the knights were also human, they did not want to die.

Rip!

That’s why Arelia impartially killed all of them.

She killed them as cleanly and as quickly as possible.

Although they were all brave men that fought against the monsters from the Great Forest to protect their land, they were nowhere near being able to contend again Arelia.

“Laney told me new alcohol had to be poured for new troops.”

“It’s not wrong, that’s for sure.”

With a single strike of the sword, 20+ knights were all eradicated and as a result, the drawing room became a sea of blood.

“I will take care of clearing out this land.”

“I leave it to you.”

Steven spoke with confidence.

His usual idiocy was completely gone, and he now looked serious.

“Please come back safe.”

“There won’t be any problems, since I’ll be going with him.”

“I’m honestly not that worried. You guys were the heroes during the battle, so I think it would actually be rude for me to even think of being worried about you guys.”

“That’s true.”

Arelia smiled.

She was the one who knew Jade’s skills the best, so there was no reason for her to feel nervous.

And to be honest, she was more than sufficient to get rid of Baron Leon with his miniscule amount of strength.

“Scylla.”

While Arelia and Steven were speaking to each other, Jade quietly summoned Scylla and as soon as it was summoned, Scylla lifted Jade and flew out the window.

It knew exactly how Jade was currently feeling.

“Let’s go together!”
