The Boy Who Swore Revenge On The World - Chapter 42

Promise

She is my property, do you have any business with her?

The man who grabs myFiaThings arm. I know who this man is and what kind of relations.h.i.+p he has with Fia but, it somewhat p.i.s.ses me off that a man other than me is touching Fia whos my thing. Was my possessiveness towards things this strong?

Property, you say? Are you treating Aneue as a property!

Nn? Did I say something strange? Slaves should be treated as the owners thing. Isnt that right, Mylene?

Yes, precisely so. I am jealous

Hey, Mylene. I didnt ask you such thing now. Besides, Mylene is already my thing even without binding. I wont hand you over to anyone.

If thats the case, how much do I have to pay? If Aneue is a slave then Ill buy her. Your asking price is fine

I unintentionally laughed at what he said. What is this fellow saying. To begin with, the premise is mistaken.

Whats funny?

Kukuu, funny or whatever it is, I was thinking if its fine for the Crown Prince to be this foolish

Wha?

I mean, isnt it so? This country is a defeated country that lost to us in a war. And then even though shes becoming a hostage so that the citizens dont get killedyoull pay so release her? In the first place, you who is the Crown Prince of the country that lost has no negotiation privilege or whatnot. Besides, is it fine even if you crush the country that she protected by going as far as to lower her head?

What?

Perhaps the Crown Prince wasnt really informed, or perhaps hes bad at understanding. Either way, its about time to let go of your hand. I grab Fias left hand thats free and pull her towards me.

Kyaa!

And then, I embrace her waist and make the appeal that shes my thing. Perhaps Fia also thinks that pus.h.i.+ng me back in the current situation is bad, she just stayed stiffen within my arm.

Yes, Mylene. Dont say youre jealous or whatnot. I always do it to you, right.

uu! You ba

Stop it, Henrir!

Perhaps hes reached his limits from my action, the Crown Prince places his hand on the sword on his waist and is about to draw it. But as one would expect, Fia couldnt overlook that so she raises an angry voice. Oo, his movements stopped with Fias voice.

What are you thinking! We lost! We were allowed to live nevertheless thanks to HardtHardt-samas kindliness! And yet you were about to point your sword towards Hardt-sama!

Bu, but, Aneue. If this carries on, Aneue will

Un, continuing to watch siblings quarrel like this is also kinda. Alright.

In that case, I shall set her free if Crown Prince wins against me right here and right now

Really!?

Aa, of course, I will keep my promise

The Crown Prince who heard what I said is pumped up. He moves away from me slightly and checks his sword and protector. The servant whos beside him is looking worried though.

Hardt, whats your objective? This battle has no benefit to you, you know?

Nn? Theres two of that. Firstly, I can shut that fellow up. Aa, I wont kill him so, be at ease. Secondly, I will just have the King keep the promise of when a sword is pointed at me

Fia whose face turns pale from what I said. And then she tries to stop the Crown Prince but, Mylene holds her tightly from behind so that she doesnt move. Sorry but its already too late.

Come now, anytime is fine

Youre not carrying a weapon?

I dont really carry a weapon

When I say that, the Crown Prince draws his sword and prepares himself. Un, quite the experienced stance. However, not to the extent of Liscia.

Lets go!

And the Crown Prince who begins to run. As I thought, its not to the extent of Liscia so its slow. Its unsatisfying for me whos training with her every day.

Haa!

I nimbly dodge the Crown Princes sword that slashes diagonally from the shoulder and grabs his collar. And then I lift him up as it is and throw him against the corridors wall. Dogan, the Crown Prince who breaks through the wall and sends it flying. Hes buried in the rubble and not even moving a muscle. It seems hes lost consciousness.

Now, shall we bring him and go to where the King is. Will you bring the Crown Prince along?

I ask of the Crown Princes servant. He nods, carries the Crown Prince whos helped out of the rubble on his shoulders and follows us.

Hardt, please, Ill be the scapegoat so will you refrain from killing the people?

Thats impossible. I have told the King and the ministers ahead of time. If they convey that matter to the Crown Prince in advance then it would not have turned into something like this. Its the King who neglected that whos at fault

Fia who makes a face thats about to cry at any time now from what I said. Just this time, I cant pull back as well. If Im soft here, the King and the others would take it as its fine, be encouraged by it, and probably repeat the same thing. If it becomes so, thats exactly when I will actually be forced to kill all the citizens.

As one would expect, we dont wish to go that far. Since the foodstuff and so forth that we need as long as we live cannot be produced by the dead spirits no matter what.

We head towards the office where the King is said to be. When we arrive, I enter without even knocking and, the King who looks over with his eyes opened was there. I enter without paying it any mind.

Yo, King

What business do you have here. We are doing exactly what you requested, no?

Thats right but you know, he pointed his sword at me

I say that and, the servant steps forward apologetically. The King who saw the servant and the Crown Prince, leaned into his chair as he held his head.

As promised, I will use the citizens as my underlings feed. Well, since its the first time, King, you choose a family that is fine even if they werent around and bring them over. The deadline is nightfall

I say just that and leave the office. Mylene is the only one who follows. Now then, should I investigate the nearby countries as planned fromnow on.
