How to Live as a Tyrant’s Spoiled Brat Chapter 36

How to live as a tyrant’s spoiled brat Episode 35

(35)

“I bought ten bottles of whiskey. I bought three cases of wine. I bought five shirts. Now I just need to buy some dried fruit and six kinds of sausage.”

Rudy walked through the streets of the capital, checking the list.

Since she mostly paid extra to have her store child do the deliveries, her hands were free.

Valencian suggested that they go together even if it was his vacation, saying that he would be drinking all the alcohol and eating all the fruit anyway, but Rudy shook his head and said it was okay.

Maids exist to make the person they serve comfortable, but if they accompanied the royal family to the market in the capital, they would be disqualified as maids.

‘I have to protect him.’

Who is going to protect whom?

Rudy let out a small sigh.

She didn’t know it, but that was a concern that the Knights of the Platinum Order also shared with Jaylilith.

Valencian loved dried fruit from the South, and in a world where self-sufficiency was the norm, it was a considerable luxury.

If it weren’t for the money he earned from casinos and such, he wouldn’t have been able to even dream of living on the royal pension alone.

Rudy walked towards the area where the southern upper class gathered to buy dried fruit.

At that moment, several pairs of eyes followed her.

“That’s right.”

“okay.”

“let’s go.”

The maid’s uniform, with white lace and ribbons added over a formal dress made of stiff black cloth, attracted attention everywhere for its many meanings.

Even more so if it is worn by a court lady with soft brown hair and green eyes like trees in late spring with a gentle expression.

No matter how red the moon was in the palace, the palace maid was a good bride.

She too had several opportunities to marry into the capital’s bourgeoisie if she had wanted to.

But those who followed now seemed distant from romantic activities such as dating or courtship.

Clap, clap, clap, clap!

Rudy quickened his pace, seeming frightened.

Thud, thud, thud, thud!

The footsteps behind her also grew louder, as if mocking her.

“!”

Within a moment, Rudy slowly stopped.

The road in front of us was blocked in the middle by a high wall.

* * *

In a dead end alley, the men following her let out a bitter laugh.

“Isn’t that Rudy, Miss?”

“It doesn’t really matter if that’s not true.”

She looked back slowly.

There were five of them, all large and looking nimble.

His arms were thick but his stomach was shallow, his beard was neatly trimmed, and his teeth, which were visible whenever he smiled, were also neat.

They weren’t some low-class street urchins who had just rolled in from somewhere.

“Who are you? Why are you looking for me?”

The men answered her question.

“We used to work in the red-light district, but we got fired because of the person you were serving.”

“You are amazing. You are good at swordsmanship and punching. I don’t know when your Majesty learned such skills.”

“He completely destroyed our store. How can someone like us take revenge on him? We just have to endure it.”

“I thought so, but there is a way to get revenge.”

Okay.

The men drew their clubs and daggers.

“I’ll cut off your limbs and sell them in the slave market. I won’t get much, but I don’t care.”

Rudy never even thought of gathering people by screaming.

Objectively, the imperial capital was a safe place.

But in the cities of this world, good public safety meant that there were no murders on the streets in broad daylight.

Moreover, if the opponent was from a red-light district casino, it was certain that any guard or vigilante would have played with him.

“You’re not even making a sound?”

“Look at those eyes. They’re no joke.”

“Looking at the poisonous things, the master and the maid are the same.”

“Hey, grab it. You said to do it.”

“It was going to be like that anyway.”

The men approached one by one.

Rudy took a step back with a frightened expression.

Bam.

“There’s no place to retreat now?”

As her back touched the wall, she raised her head and said.

“That’s right. That’s fortunate. There’s no place to retreat.”

“what?”

“Are you crazy?”

“Are you crazy because you’re scared? I’ve seen a lot of those kids in stores. Kids who lose everything and laugh.”

“Me too,” she continued, her voice cracking.

“This is my first time in this situation. I’m scared. But if my limbs are cut off, I can no longer serve Lord Valen. So.”

Her hands slid down the side of her skirt.

“I can shoot without hesitation. I can’t help it. Yes. I can’t help it.”

Her green eyes flashed, and two six-shot pistols appeared in her hands.

The monks who saw the strangely shaped tool they had never seen before smiled with wrinkles between their eyebrows.

“What is that?”

“These days, maids carry all sorts of things.”

Rudy shook his head slightly from side to side.

“Go back quickly. I’ll give you one last chance. Unlike Valen, I’m not used to this kind of thing.”

“flaw.”

A man approached me with brisk strides and said.

“You’re talking like it’s an opportunity.”

“Then you brought this upon yourself.”

Rudy lowered his pistol and pulled the trigger.

Looking at the other person’s face until the end.

Ta-ang!

The gun held in his right hand fired.

The magical tool that had been sleeping peacefully since its creation carried out its mission for the first time according to its master’s will.

It spits out magic bullets faster than any arrow.

The basic magic bullet with the strengthening and acceleration spells engraved on it also dashed through the air for the first and last time.

The expensive magma bullets, which traveled 5 meters faster than the speed of sound, crushed human skulls like crispy French fries.

puck-!

Clumps of flowing red and sticky white splattered everywhere.

“what?”

“Me, me.”

“What the heck!”

The remaining prayers clenched their teeth and rushed in.

It was a courage I had to muster because I didn’t know what was going on.

Rudy looked at them one by one with shining green eyes.

“This is the world that Valen lives in.”

Taang-!

“How comfortable have I been living all this time?”

Taang-!

“You must have been lonely a lot lately, right?”

Taang-!

“I will follow you until I die. I am a gambler, a bastard, and the handmaiden of a murderer of his family.”

Taang-!

The bolt went down, the cylinder spun, and each time the trigger connected circuit to circuit, a bullet was fired.

“Haa, haa, haa.”

Rudy fired three shots with the gun in his right hand and two shots with the gun in his left hand, then took a deep breath and leaned back against the wall.

My wrists were throbbing with the recoil.

But she did not close her eyes and stared straight at the sight unfolding before her.

It was a spectacle she created.

Maybe they could have just shot one or two as an example and let the rest run away.

Everyone could just hit the back of the hand.

But she didn’t do that.

She was now twenty years old, but she was different from other twenty-year-olds who had just graduated from the academy.

She entered the palace at the age of ten, served the seven-year-old Grand Duke Valen, and experienced the factional strife of the palace maids called Bokmajeon from a young age.

There was something I learned from living for ten years in that cutthroat world that was like a sheet of ice.

You shouldn’t maintain an uncomfortable relationship with your partner.

If you’re going to face someone with a smile, smile until the end, and if you have to fight, don’t give your opponent a chance to counterattack.

Like a snake that is usually slow, but when hunting, it sinks its fangs in quickly.

“You, you. That is… …what kind of magical tool is that?”

Some people didn’t die instantly because they were hit in the leg.

Of course, his body below the knees was completely blown away.

“The greatest masterpiece and the worst failure of a wizard. That’s all I’ve heard.”

Of course, I had no intention of showing mercy.

I had to ask you something, so I left it for a moment.

“Are there others besides you who are after me and His Highness Valen?”

“I, I don’t know. I wasn’t the one who wanted to target you in the first place. We all did what he told us to do.”

He pointed to a particularly large man.

The man was lying on the ground with a hole the size of his head in the middle of his stomach.

“!”

At that moment, the man’s eyes opened wide.

Eyes that are pitch black without a single white sclera.

The hand that shouldn’t have moved moved and grabbed the other leg of the old colleague who had fallen next to him and lost his leg.

“Hey, hey!”

A man with a hole in his stomach grabbed the ankle of a man with a missing leg.

The veins on his arms seemed to bulge, and the man with no legs trembled and screamed.

“Ahh!”

Suddenly Rudy thought that he was eating people with his hands.

It was such an unrealistic sight that it didn’t feel real.

The man with the missing leg and the man with the hole in his stomach overlapped each other, and the blood and flesh melted into one along the bulging blood vessels.

She looked at the sight with a feeling that she might faint.

I once heard an explanation about such a being at church.

A monster.

“… … Abomination.”

It was a type of corpse-shaped undead, such as a zombie, but it was a monster that could grow as large as a mountain depending on the individual.

“ha ha ha.”

She trembled with fear and shed tears.

Until this morning, she had been praying to God, preparing meals, and waking up the sleeping Archduke, but now she had come face to face with a monster that had killed five people and been transformed by otherworldly powers.

“I guess Valen has always seen things like that?”

She muttered, aiming the gun again.

* * *

Even though I was on vacation, I headed to the main palace.

The first reason was that the main palace, managed by the court wizards, was warm in the winter and cool in the summer, and the second reason was that they wanted to watch from the side, fearing that Jaylilith might decide to go to war on the spur of the moment.

And there was a third reason.

“Archduke Valen. Although he is on vacation, he has returned to your side, so I would like to ask you. There are constant reports that Marquis Freuheit is gathering troops under the pretext of the Demonic Realm. How should we respond to this? No matter how much I think about it, I think it would be best to leave my hometown.”

Because he had to beg, plead, and appeal to Jaylilith not to start a war before she had even ascended the throne a year ago.

“Although the Marquis is behaving suspiciously, there is a distance of several countries between him and the Imperial Territory, and there are many barons loyal to the Imperial Family surrounding the Imperial Territory. If Your Majesty, who has only recently ascended the throne, launches a preemptive strike against the great nobles, it will put undue pressure on the other great nobles… … .”

If you fight, you are sure to win.

But in the grand scheme of things, we can win without fighting, so there is no need to fight.

At least there won’t be any stupid nobles who would invade the capital city first since there is a Sword Master and a 6th Circle Archmage, and as time goes by, the system will eventually stabilize.

“That’s a long story. Then, can you cut off the Marquis’ head?”

“If it is your order, I will follow it. However, please understand that I cannot kill the Marquis even if it costs me my life… … .”

“Didn’t I clearly order you to train in swordsmanship? Why aren’t your skills improving?”

I let out a sigh of relief inside.

At least now there will be no more doubts about why your skills improved so quickly.

“Jim became a Sword Master at the age of fifteen, but why is it that you, his twin, are only a beginner Sword Expert at the age of seventeen?”

uh?

I asked with a heart-stopping feeling.

“Your Majesty. Why do you think I am a sword expert? I am still only a sword user… … .”

“stop.”

She cut me off firmly.

It’s ruined.

“Just by looking at my opponent, I can tell how much mana they have and how great their level is.”

“You are amazing.”

“Hold on, Your Majesty. Could it be that you were trying to hide your realm from me? What were you dreaming of by hiding your power? Could it be that you too covet this position?”

The corners of Jaylilith’s eyes furrowed.

She was wearing a sleeveless dress made of thin black silk today, but suddenly the bottom of the dress began to bunch up in various places and stretch out into long, black thorns.

I could only laugh in vain as I looked at that strange sight.

“Your Majesty, please listen to me for a moment… … .”

“your majesty!”

Then the attendant came running and cut me off.

“They say the remains of Abomination were found in a back alley of the market.”

Whatever being created it, the Abomination was a being that was not supposed to come out of the back alleys of the market.

The content was so shocking that Jaylilis immediately got up from her seat.

“Are there any witnesses to the incident?”

“Yes. That is… …Rudy, the maid of the Red Moon Palace.”

“?!”

This time it was my turn to get up from my seat.

“Your Majesty, she is my maid. I will listen to her circumstances!”

And before the answer could even come, he ran out.
