The Only Ending for the Evil Count Pig Is Destruction

284 – Scene 284# Autumn Tragedy

*

The lights went out and darkness fell once again.

The screams and screams of the imperial army rang out from everywhere.

I couldn’t see anything, but I knew it. That the one-sided massacre began under Milliam’s orders.

Having personally witnessed the process of Milliam’s deterioration, I was able to understand him.

Kyle and the Roelgreen family. And after losing everything, including Kyle’s child, who was his last hope, he was in despair, shedding bloody tears.

The ‘Autumn Tragedy’ was not an incident caused by an invasion by the demons. It was an incident in which the castle’s residents and members of the Roelgrin family were brutally massacred by the imperial troops sent by the previous emperor.

“How… Ugh, how could you do this…”

Wendy was sobbing, covering her mouth. Although I was blindfolded, I heard all about the imperial army’s atrocities. She sobbed incessantly after witnessing such a cruel truth that she wanted to turn her head.

“Please answer me. “Your Majesty.”

Ariel, who realized the truth, was in a half-fazed state. Her hair was matted and her eyes were red and bloodshot from constant tears. She looked like a ghost and staggered towards Luna.

“Why did Kyle have to look like that and die…”

“Ariel…”

“Why did my child have to burn to death…”

Was it because Ariel’s eyes were so sad? Luna was completely speechless.

“Kyle… Did he commit such a mortal sin?”

“No…”

“Is that child guilty of something?” !!”

Ariel was furious, forgetting that her opponent was the emperor. No… She probably did it knowingly. Because it turned out that it was not the Ruel Bertha family that took everything from her, but this country, the empire.

“What on earth are you accusing everyone of?” . Did I kill the people I love?”

Ariel grabbed Luna’s shoulder and cried out with the feeling that she was vomiting blood.

“Rebellion? A rebellion… ! How much has Kyle done for this country? . How hard she tried! “Is this tragedy the price you pay for that loyalty?”

“Jim…”

Luna tried to answer something but closed her mouth.

Judging by Luna’s attitude so far, it is highly likely that she did not know this either. She ascended to the throne at a young age, and she would not have received anything from her predecessor, Maxim, who passed away suddenly.

But just because she didn’t know anything doesn’t mean Luna is free from that responsibility. Her father her her her, Maxim, not only framed Kyle, a hero who had been loyal to the empire for a long time, and his family his his, but also massacred innocent citizens.

When this happened, Luna found herself in an awkward position.

Like any other empire, it is no exaggeration to say that the Maykahel Empire was founded on the trust of nobles who swore absolute loyalty to the emperor.

However, if it becomes known that the previous emperor killed a loyal subject who protected the border by accusing him of being a rebel, the trust of subjects who had been loyal to the imperial family until now would inevitably be completely destroyed.

Ariel, who was pro-imperial, immediately turned her back on the imperial family due to this incident. No, it wasn’t just that she turned her back on it, it reached the level of hostility.

“Answer me!”

Ariel became furious and finally took out her staff and pointed it at Luna. An overt act of hostility towards the emperor. It was a serious crime that could result in summary execution, but Ariel did not hesitate.

“If I do this, are you going to kill me like Kyle?”

“…”

“If you want to kill me, then kill me. Your majesty. “Just as you burned my son alive, burn me to death in the same way!”

“It’s a lie…”

Luna opened her mouth and spoke in a trembling voice.

“Something is wrong. This can’t be happening…”

“… “What?”

“Father… There’s no way Jim’s father would do something like this! No matter what anyone says, Jim’s father was an emperor with a great personality. Everyone praised… “He was a military leader who will never exist again.”

Luna looked at Ariel with her trembling eyes.

“But that vicious man… He died unfairly at the hands of Milliam Ruelberta. Jim saw clearly. That man insulted his father and drove him to death…!”

Could it be that we are denying reality even in this situation? No… If you think about it, it can’t help but be like that.

Maxim Meikahel’s daughter, Lucy, has been trying to strengthen the authority of the imperial family by defining the Ruelberta family, which threatens the existence of the imperial family, as absolute evil.

The reason this was possible was because the Ruelberta family was a family that had actually committed evil deeds. However, when she learned that the imperial family had committed as much evil as the Ruel Berta family, the legitimacy itself collapsed.

Moreover, even if you don’t know Lucy, she is Luna. She is a personality that would not have been born if Millium and the Ruel Bertha family had not existed in the first place. The reason for her existence is to take revenge on Maxim for his unjust death his by destroying the evil Ruel Bertha family. That’s probably why she can’t accept this fact.

“Unfair… “You say you do?”

Ariel muttered quietly.

“Your Majesty… “Are you saying that even though you just saw my family burned to death in front of your eyes?”

There was anger in her eyes

Just as expected. Her wand began to emit an ominous light.

In the end, I stepped forward.

“Count…” ?!”

Before the spell was complete, I grabbed Ariel’s staff in her hand. The staff, which had been heated by magic, began to smoke and cooled down.

But I didn’t feel any heat. Because my sensitivity had already soared to 90% and my body and mind were completely devastated.

I endured and persevered as much as I could with ‘patience’, but in fact, it was irrelevant to say that I completely responded. I was barely able to come to my senses, but even now, Milliam’s dark emotions were eating away at me.

Moreover, the scary thing is that the moment the sensitivity reached 90%, I felt like something in my heart was disconnected.

Perhaps due to its influence, my body was becoming strange. If I didn’t turn on ‘patience’, I might have gone crazy.

“Put this down!”

I shook my head without saying a word.

I wanted to say something to Ariel, but I didn’t have the time or energy to do so.

“Ugh…”

Under my silent pressure, Ariel finally let go of her wand and sat down. At the same time, the hostility towards Luna completely disappeared.

I sighed inwardly as I looked at that.

‘Mysterious day…’

‘Hmm?’

Myo Ha-il’s voice, conveyed as a prayer in my head, was so carefree that it did not suit the current atmosphere at all. As a wise man who has lived for a long time and a bystander who has observed history, he was infinitely calm despite witnessing such a tragedy.

Unless it’s something to do with him, he won’t even blink no matter what happens.

And I plan to actively utilize that aspect of Myohail.

‘Do you remember the promise you made before?’

‘… Promise? Ah… Of course. But why suddenly… ?’

‘As long as you remember, it’s okay.’

I am slowly reaching my limit.

After Milliam fell, my condition was unusual. If I didn’t use ‘patience’, it felt like it would fall to pieces at any moment. An anxiety came over me, as if I would no longer be myself.

Perhaps then the worst may unfold. In preparation for that, I took out insurance with Myohail.

The wise man Myohail would have fully understood my intentions.

‘It’s not my personality to go out and interfere… ‘

Myohail quietly advised me.

‘It is wise to know how to step away when you have to. If possible, Count, I hope to avoid the situation you are imagining.’

‘… Just keep that in mind.’

‘Haha… ‘I don’t think anyone would be stubborn, so they won’t listen to anything I say.’

It’s the perfect answer.

Perhaps because he was a wise man, he could clearly read my thoughts. Normally I would feel bad, but at times like this, I feel reassured.

“…”

Luna’s legs seemed to have lost her strength and she sat down.

Ariel burst into tears next to him.

“Sorry… Sorry… Because I’m the only one alive… Because I live shamelessly…”

Ariel, who was able to avoid anger in the system during the ‘Autumn Tragedy’, began to apologize and apologize to Kyle and the dead.

But now there was no one who could accept her forgiveness

“Sorry… I don’t even know that… I am… I resented it every day… Milliam, I hated you to death…”

However, the apology was unexpectedly directed at Millium.

Until now, Ariel must have thought that although Millium was a close friend, she ignored Kyle’s crisis.

However, it was a lie that she sent reinforcements late from the Ruel Bertha family. Rather, as soon as Milliam was discharged from the hospital, he brought Aslan directly to save Kyle. In addition, Milliam, who was the target of resentment, fought desperately to save Kyle and their child.

Ariel, who realized everything about her, feels indescribably sorry and guilty at the same time and blames herself.

I looked down at her without saying a word. She didn’t have anything to say. When I saw her crying, all thoughts of blaming her and questioning her about her misunderstandings, she disappeared. Because she is also a victim of the ‘Autumn Tragedy.’

“Okay…So…”

Then, Ariel suddenly seemed to realize something about her and raised her head.

“That’s why it was like that… !”

The way she looked at me was completely different from before. No. Not only that, but there was also an indescribable affection.

“Because of Kyle’s request… Milliam said that to you…”

Ariel said she was trying to say something. But suddenly the light turned on and illuminated a ‘space’ in front of us.

“There…”

It was Luna who recognized the place.

A castle with luxurious carpets and antique curtains. The place that was familiar to me was the imperial palace.

“Luna Mayka Hell.”

Luna, who was sitting on the floor, looked up at me.

Her solemn appearance she was gone, and even a hint of fear appeared on her pale face.

“Did Maxim say it couldn’t be like that?”

I ignored her and stared straight ahead at her. As she strengthened her resolve for the coming trials.

“We’ll see about that now.”

*

Late at night, a situation of chaos was unfolding in the dark imperial palace.

“Your majesty!” You must evacuate quickly!”

“What is this happening all of a sudden?”

The emperor of the empire, Maxim May Kahel, was astonished at the sight before her.

As expected, assailants invaded the imperial palace, which was tightly guarded by soldiers, and the emperor’s throne room in the very center.

“You cannot touch Your Majesty! These guys!”

“Cut down all the intruders!”

The imperial knights bravely charged at the suddenly appearing invaders.

“Your majesty!” “Let’s go this way!”

Guarding Maxim are knights in red armor. When I saw their armor, I realized.

They are not ordinary knights.

After being almost assassinated by the pirate Mabel, Maxim selected excellent members from the Imperial Knights and recruited them into the Royal Guard under his command.

And that red armor was given only to the most elite knights among the Royal Guard. In other words, the ones protecting the Maxim are chosen and selected among the best knights in the empire.

“Sir, could it be that pirates attacked again?”

“I am not a pirate. Judging by their movements, they are closer to well-trained regular troops.”

“What? So does this mean a civil war broke out?!”

“I don’t know that yet. Because we attacked in the dark, we couldn’t confirm their identities…”

“Ugh… ! What kind of disgrace is this? !”

As judged by the SS knight, they were not a group of pirates. There was no way that pirates who had not even been trained could have broken through the strong defenses of the imperial palace and made it this far.

It was then.

“Your majesty… “Get behind me.”

What blocked them as they tried to hurriedly escape was a group of people wearing black military coats.

“Hey, these guys… At some point we got here…”

The knights of the SS, who saw the uninvited guests who appeared before their eyes without even a trace, were very nervous and drew their swords. Because they were covered in blood, as if they had been swimming in a sea of blood.

“For a moment… If I go…”

The SS knight recognized the steel lion mask they were wearing and opened his mouth.

“Oh, Aslan?!”

“Why are the Luelberta family’s private soldiers here… ?” .”

“Uh, Aidan… ! That guy… !”

Maxim gritted his teeth as if he had been stabbed in the back. However, his guess was wrong.

Because this memory was not Aidan Ruelberta’s memory.

“How dare you try to take His Majesty’s life His His…” ?” . Criminal… !”

“There is nothing to be afraid of! “We are not behind in terms of skills.”

After hesitating at their bloody appearance, the knights of the SS immediately formed their ranks. The appearance was truly that of a carefully selected elite.

“Good!”

And the one who commanded them was a knight of good appearance, the captain of the bodyguard.

“Cut off the heads of those high traitors!”

“Yes!”

At the command of the captain of the royal guard, the knights swung their swords at Aslan’s men. Because they were confident in their abilities, they had no hesitation in attacking first.

But that was only for those who could communicate with one another.

“W-what?!”

There was astonishment on the faces of the SS knights.

Aslan’s crew did not avoid the sword blows they threw. I just blocked the flying sword with my gloved hand.

“Huh?! Won’t you let go?!”

“What kind of power?!”

The knights of the Royal Guard tried to pull out their swords, but the sword was caught by Aslan’s men would not fall out at all. The knights could not hide their bewilderment at the incredible strength that made them question whether they were the same person.

But even for a moment…

Deeply-!!

“Under! “You’re stupid for giving me a gap!”

“Our sword is not one!”

The SS knights all took out the daggers they were wearing behind them and plunged them into the backs of their necks. The blow aimed at the nape of the neck was an attack that would have resulted in the death of any ordinary human being.

However, something strange happened.

“No?!”

Even though the sword was clearly stuck in the neck, Aslan’s crew did not struggle in pain or even scream.

As if no pain was felt.

“What?!”

Aslan’s men grabbed the necks of the knights of the Royal Guard without removing the swords stuck in their necks.

And…

Kwasik-!

“… Huh?!”

“Ugh…”

The next moment, the guard captain’s eyes opened wide.

Spread out in front of him were Aslan’s crew, wearing red armor like paper. And they were the knights of the SS with their hearts pierced and despair spread across their faces.

“Your majesty… ! Hurry… Escape…”

“Do, run…” ” . Hurry…”

“Oh, no!”

Without the guard captain having time to stop him, blood fog spewed out from all over the place.

“Uh, ahhh… !”

Maxim staggered at the tragedy that unfolded before his eyes.

Aslan’s men used their incredible strength to tear alive the knights who were protecting Maxim.

“This person… Monsters!!”

The SS commander, who lost his men in an instant, became furious and swung his sword.

His sword will be caught by Aslan’s crew again. But…

“Under! I think it will catch me!”

The captain of the Royal Guard quickly widened the distance and cut off Aslan’s member’s outstretched hand.

Push shoot!

Dark red blood spurted out violently and spilled onto the floor. Aslan’s crew, who had lost both hands, hesitated. And the captain of the Royal Guard did not miss the opportunity.

“Get lost!!”

He plunged the sword straight into his chest, where his heart was. A blow that would have killed even a demon.

The captain of the Royal Guard smiled in remorse.

Just up to 3 seconds.

“Hey, b*stard… ?!”

The next moment, the guard captain’s face hardened. Aslan’s crew, who had obviously lost his hand and been stabbed in the heart, was still moving. Not only that, he hugged him tightly.

“Huh?! Let go!”

The captain of the SS, who was struggling with all his might, noticed something shining above the other person’s pierced heart.

“Liquor… ?”

As Aslan’s member’s shoulders began to gain strength, the expression on the guard’s captain’s face changed as he realized the man’s intentions.

“S-stop-!!”

The horrifying sound of his bones crunching his rang out. His legs, which were struggling desperately in unimaginable pain, soon became limp.

Whisk.

“Ugh, wow?!”

Maxim screamed as the body of the captain of the Royal Guard, with his entire armor folded at the waist, was thrown right in front of him.

It was then.

“Do you want to live?”

A low voice was heard in the darkness.

Maxim asked nervously at the voice, not sure if it was an enemy or an ally.

“W-Who are you?” ?!”

“I know you, but you don’t know me.”

“What… ?”

The answer came back that he couldn’t do it if he knew that Maxim was the emperor.

“This, this cruel…”

Was it because of the emperor’s pride?

Maxim shouted as if she was squeezing out the last of her courage.

“I am Maxim, the emperor of this country! Please reveal your identity too… !”

“I am Milliam.”

“?!”

The man who finally emerged from the darkness was a slender young man. However, his eyes were so cold that it was impossible to even think that they were the same human being. He spoke to Maxim in a voice that seemed to devoid of emotion.

“The next head of the Ruelberta family… “He is Kyle Roelgreen’s best friend.”
