Playing the Perfect Fox-Eyed Villain Chapter 263

Episode 263. Underwater work (1)

I'm not very happy about helping Yulian, but I have no choice.

'This guy is the only one who can mediate the Black Knight right now.'

Even the one who told me that the 'Black Knight' had a limited lifespan was Yurian. I didn't like that, but I had to see this guy's face in order to help the 'Black Knight'.

As if he had read Urhar's thoughts, Yurian opened his mouth.

“I doubt it.”

He ran his hand over his lips and spoke with a suspicious air.

“On the day of the inspection, didn’t Lord Urhar speak to me in a tone that showed he didn’t trust me?”

Yurian's gaze turned to Urhar with a sneer.

'……this guy.'

He knows what he thinks of the 'Black Knight'.

Blinded by his sublimity.

I admire your actions.

I can do anything for him who has a limited time left.

Noticing that, Yurian asks in a mocking voice.

'For the discipline of the empire, or for the cause of the imperial family.'

I wonder if they are not working for such grand things, but are simply motivated by ‘selfishness.’

'What a rascal.'

Stand before yourself as a 'common man', away from the grandeur of working for the 'royal family'. That's what Yurian is saying.

I know that it has nothing to do with this incident. If I react to this, I'll just end up being played by Yurian's annoying game.

“Although it is radical, I realized that the Black Knight also works for the Empire.”

Still, Urhar opened his mouth.

“And, come to think of it, it doesn’t seem to go against the cause.”

“The Black Knight is an outlaw. It is not against the law to help him.”

Haha, this time Yurian laughed at Urhar again.

“Even if he is an outlaw, it is certain that he works for the empire.”

Urhar's stern gaze turned to Yurian.

“I see. Since the Black Knight and I share similar tendencies, you decided to help us?”

How can the two be on the same level? Urhar felt a little angry at Yurian's question, but he bit his lip and held it back.

“Unlike you, who only talk about the ‘Imperial Rules’ with your mouth.”

“That’s a little funny. Are you saying that there’s something different between me and that outlaw?”

"of course."

Yulian noticed his feelings. Aside from that.

'I wonder how this guy will react if he finds out that the person he respects so much is a traitor right in front of him.'

Yurian barely managed to hold back, wanting to say that he was the 'black knight'.

***

Central Park of the island. In this place where they could enjoy their leisure time while soaking up the warm sunlight, Zahat felt the somewhat different appearances of the two.

Because Zahat, who had lost his eyesight but had heightened his other senses and detection using his 'Aura', was able to sense the tension hovering between 'Yurien' and 'Urhar'.

Feeling the atmosphere between the two, Zahat swallowed a hollow laugh.

'The atmosphere is ominous.'

It's amazing that this park, filled with the warmth and love of families, has such an atmosphere.

"dad!"

Suddenly, Zahat slowly turned his head at the sound of a boy's voice coming from behind him.

Zahat stuck out his tongue in bewilderment at the head that moved reflexively even though he wasn't called.

'hmm.'

A sense of emptiness enveloped Zahat's body. A bitter taste began to linger on the tip of his tongue.

“Hey blind man, what are you doing here?”

Someone recognized Zahat and spoke to him.

It was Zahat who had not used his 'Aura' because he had been momentarily lost in thought, so he only now realized that he was approaching him.

Fortunately, the voice is someone I know.

“Let me tell you something. What were you doing here?”

“How can a blind man know who I am right away?”

In response to the question from the man who spoke to him, Zahart slowly began to expand his 'Aura Sonar' to cover the target's entire body.

Zahat's auror rose above the man and swept his head once.

“Hey you son of a bitch.”

Felcor, who noticed that such an 'Auror' was scanning his head, started to curse.

“Of all the guys who recognize me, there’s only one with such a tall head, so I couldn’t help but recognize him, Felcor.”

Pelkor clicked his tongue once.

“So, I didn’t hear an answer. Pelkor, why are you here?”

“Why are you here? I’m working.”

As he said this, Pelkor showed the name tag pinned to his chest.

Temporary security guard at the Central Park in the island.

There was such a sentence written on it, but Zahat couldn't read it because he was blind.

“Oh, I’m sorry I couldn’t read it because my eyesight is bad.”

"hmm."

Zahat sighed at the venomous insults.

“But, I wonder if there’s any need to do it. You too, in a way, are…….”

Zahat, who was about to mention the name Dawn Society, let out a cough.

“But, wouldn’t it be possible to say that he is one of the group’s executives? Wouldn’t support come from there?”

In response to Zahat's question, Pelkor approached and whispered carefully.

“……You’re busy with the internal construction right now. You don’t have time to worry about a monsignor like me.”

Ah, that makes sense. Zahat nodded.

“Your skills aren’t completely useless, so you should still be able to join the Knights.”

“How much do you know? Are you just saying that to tease me?”

Zahat seems to be unaware that he was a member of the Knights of the Blue Lion, but was expelled for bad behavior.

“Anyway, I have the label of being kicked out of the royal family. Because of that, I can only do things like this.”

“I see. It seems that you not only had no brains, but also no job.”

“……Haa, this kid.”

Pelkor ran his hand through his hair, swearing, and then spoke in a very serious tone.

“How many people?”

“It looks like there are two people.”

At Zahat's words, Felcor looked around. He felt a strange presence. He couldn't tell the number of people, but Zahat was able to identify them accurately through his 'Aura Sonar'.

“Did you come after Sir Yurian, or did you come after those Royal Knights?”

Although he is not wise, Pelkor seems to have a keen eye for detail, built up through experience.

He looked at Yurian in the distance and Urhar, who was talking in front of him, and quickly figured out the situation.

“Perhaps, it was someone called by Urhar. It doesn’t seem like Yurian called any other escorts besides me.”

“Then I guess it would be better to just sort it out quietly.”

As he said this, Pelkor began to relax.

“Pelcor, are you thinking of moving too?”

“If the group is rebuilt, Sir Yurian will probably take on one of the roles, so I should show him a lot of good things. I want to stop doing this kind of thing.”

“Why, but I think it suits you well.”

“What is this invisible guy? Besides, it’s not that I don’t like this job.”

Pelkor pointed to the business card again.

“I’m not a full-time employee, I get paid daily.”

Somehow, it was a convincing statement.

“By the way, the problem is how to capture that stalker in such a crowded place.”

Zahat said, sensing an 'ominous presence'. It was clear that Urhar and Yurian were still being watched. However, it was obvious that there would be problems if they did this in a place with so many people.

“I have a way.”

“Well, is there any good idea?”

"okay."

Pelkor smiled like a bookworm.

***

Urhar is going around investigating their background.

In order to export the 'Resonance Stone', the Rose Knights began to move when the wizard they had recruited told them about it.

The first thing we did was to tail 'Urhar'.

What caught their eyes as they followed behind Urhar was the sight of him talking to 'Yurien'.

“……This traitor.”

The members clicked their tongues at the sight. Prince Yulsis was the fourth prince, but he was of noble blood. Doing something against him was similar to breaking the rules of the 'royal family'.

“What do you want to do? Full-grained Kyung.”

“What should I do? I have to tell His Majesty Yulsis about this right away.”

“……You’re the Royal Knights, right?”

To Danwon's question, Punggorun just clicked his tongue.

“Even if you are the Royal Knights, you cannot go against the current decline of Yulsis.”

Fullgorn turned his gaze towards Yurian and Urhar.

'Urhar.'

You've gone too far. I thought to myself as I was about to leave.

“Ouch!”

As he was walking, a boy running through the park bumped into Fullgorn's leg and fell down.

“Tsk.”

Fullgorn clicked his tongue as he looked at the fallen child. Judging from his attire, he was not a child of noble birth.

A figure who appeared to be his father hurriedly approached him. As expected, he did not seem to be a nobleman, Fullgorn was certain.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”

“That’s why we shouldn’t change the park to a national park. It’s demeaning to have such a dirty little brat wandering around.”

Looking at the apologizing Shinmin, Fullgorn raised his hand to slap the man's cheek.

One, the moment I was about to strike, I felt my shoulder stop moving.

“What, what is it!?”

He looked to the side and saw a huge lump of wood grabbing his arm.

“Sir, this is a national park. You know you shouldn’t make any noise.”

“Do you know who I am and why you say such things?”

“Then, sir, do you know who I am?”

The large man pointed to his name tag.

[Temporary guard of the Central Park of the island]

[Pelcor]

“What do you want me to do, you idiot…….”

Phew!

It happened in an instant. As if a 'certain word' had triggered a trauma, the man slapped Fullgorn's cheek in the blink of an eye.

As the evil hand touched Fullgorn's cheek, a sound like the impact of a blunt object was heard.

“Hey, are you okay, sir?”

The large man, Felcor, shouted in an urgent voice.

“He’s unconscious! We need to take him to a rest area and treat him right now!”

“Yeah, what are you doing right now…!”

As Felcor, carrying Fullgorn on his back, prepared to leave at any moment, the remaining member of the Rose Knights spoke in an urgent tone.

As soon as he showed signs of drawing his sword, Zahat approached him and held his staff behind his back so that no one could see him.

“Ugh, ugh……!”

“Hey! Are you this person’s guardian? Please follow me!”

“Kkk, so this is what the clever plan was talking about.”

Zahat said as if he was incredulous. Then he whispered quietly to the Rose Knight.

“If you don’t want to die, then follow me. Isn’t it something you have to live a long life to see?”

The knight nodded cautiously.
