Neta Chara Tensei Toka Anmari da! - CH 20
Just where he did wrong.
Just where he did wrong.
That question alone kept swirling on his head.
Robert was a vassal of the great noble Lenweil. He had a position and power that would not let commoners speak to him as they please. And he even came here as representative of Eleonora. That authority was stronger than any low-class noble could resist, so a slightly strong woman and a child commoner from reclamation village should have followed his instruction with a smile.
He had not done anything wrong.
He had acted as he should as representative of a great noble.
But, why it turned this way.
In front of his eyes, was a monster.
Is she the ancient demon told in the legend?
Or perhaps, an existence that rivals God, a dragon?
Robert tried to open his mouth, but he was trembling strongly and feared that his jaw might have been dislocated and would only end up biting his own lip or tongue in vain. Although none has been done to him, his knee had given out, the taste of iron spread on his mouth, and his brain has shortcircuited, none he could do anymore.
“What a vulgar joke you dare to say–Who do you think Aisha belongs to? It’s obvious–”
Nacht did not allow any refutation.
“–She is mine.”
Of course, Nacht never thought Aisha as an object, and she did not plan to restrict Aisha’s freedom.
But of course, it was not needed to be said at this moment.
Aisha also understood it, but
“”Ah, Nahct-sama–Aisha pledge an eternal loyalty to you.””
she still said those words.
That’s why as a master, she would not deny her.
As long as Aisha desired it, Aisha was Nacht’s.
That’s why no one has the right to order her around.
She did not need to follow anyone’s order.
Even in front of nobles, royalties, dragons, or even gods, she does not need to bow, nor heed their order.
If they could not accept it, Nacht would make them.
Nacht would show it to the world.
She would show, the value of the only dragon’s servant she has.
“Kuhahahaha, prostate ourselves? what a nice joke you said–”
“Hiii–!” I-I am, the rep-representative, o-of, Eleonora-sama–”
He screamed unconsciously.
It was like a reflect. He did not understand what he said. Even with his wealth of experience in negotiations, he did not know what was the right thing to do.
Every time the Nacht’s golden eyes blinked, he felt his heart gouged out.
“–I will explain it so a moron like you would understand. Right now, a dragon stands before you–”
Not only coercion, but Nacht also used low dragon skill in full throttle.
Although Duran could break free, there was not in millions chance the man in front of her would.
“So, would you tell it to bow? Prostrate? Would you dare to think to snatch its possession? The most beloved treasure of it, would you dare to lay hand on it? Well, that’s pretty brave–but not really a smart thing to do, right?”
Robert shook his head desperately as if want to pull it off.
Although he was stupid, feeling the coercion with his body have made him realize. Or forced to realize.
That everything he did was wrong.
Since the beginning, there was no option other than affirming Nacht’s words.
“My apologies, my apologies, my apologies, my apologies, my apologies–”
He could only lower his head and apologize endlessly. There was no other choice other than that. He could only appeal that he was remorseful, in hope for mercy.
Looking at his miserable figure, Nacht withdrew her coercion.
“Come back and tell your master. If she plans to use power, then I would retaliate in kind. If she acts with courtesy, then I will also be willing to be civil. It’s her right to use her influence, but know your own place.”
Nacht finished saying what she wanted and then pat Aisha’s head while looking toward the town landscape outside.
Having her gaze left him, Robert felt relief in his heart.
It was a miracle that he survived. He now understand that he could keep his life.
The young girl in front of him, Nacht, was truly an existence that could rival S rank adventurers or legendary ancient demon race. It was late but now he understood that the report on how Duran defeated was true all along.
“The-then, please excuse me.”
He did not want to stay there one second longer.
If allowed he would have run away. He would discard those two knights who were still unconscious and run as far as he could.
But–
“Well, wait for a bit–”
Nacht’s solemn voice stopped him.
He did not want to heed it, but he must. While he thought the hell would continue, he even felt it might be better to die, but since he did not feel the coercion like before, he felt a slight composure to stay firm.
“Y-yes, what could I do–?”
Nacht looked toward outside the window as she said.
“Is the big mansion on the northeast, the one with showy decorations, the mansion of your master?”
“Ye-yes! That’s right.”
“Hahaha–don’t be so scared. I won’t take life just for small rudeness–”
That said, the face of Nacht that was turning around was filled with a sadistic grin.
“However, since she pick a fight with me, there is no way I would not retaliate, right?”
“Tha-that–”
Robert felt cold sweat all over his body.
The sadistic smile on Nacht’s face widen.
“I will took the payment for her rudeness–(low) dragon magic–fallen lightning (lightning dragon descend)”
If you asked anyone in the city about this day.
They would answer that it was a cloudless day.
However, a shadow appeared in the sky.
And when they looked up, a dragon made of lightning descended.
After ear tearing roar, it was headed directly toward the Lenweil’s house.
A third of the Lenweil’s mansion was disappeared, leaving only a hole in the earth, and yet not a single soul was lost.
That single magic that Nahct unleased, under the influence of the disappearance of the dragons, was later included in the dragon disaster.
