Playing the Perfect Fox-Eyed Villain Chapter 261

Episode 261. The Terrible Man I Respect (2)

Chuck, chuck, chuck.

The knights marched forward, sternly dressed. The sound of the knights' boots echoed clearly, as they dressed neatly for the day.

However, Urhar did not hear it. He was so shocked by what Yurian had said earlier that he even started to hear tinnitus.

"what?"

Haven't you been to Cheonseong High School?

That's what Yurian said.

'I bet you didn't tell anyone.'

It was a secret that Urhar had been to Cheonsei High School. He had not told anyone.

There is a 'caretaker' who faces you, but he is someone who does not act unless he is the 'Emperor', has a 'seal' given by him, or is a 'royal family member'.

'The manager wouldn't have said anything. Then who told Yurian that?'

Sneak.

I looked at Yurian, but he still had an expression on his face that was good at hiding his emotions.

Even, they are just watching the battle unfold as if they have no interest in it.

“It’s really fortunate that we are under the direct control of the royal family. How ridiculous it is to do such things in this blazing sun.”

Even Yurian was snickering while looking at the knights who were being judged.

“It was an event personally hosted by His Majesty the Emperor. Even if you think so, it would be better to refrain from speaking.”

At least, Urhar spoke gently, thinking back to their days at the Academy.

“Oh, I made a mistake. I am absolutely not dissatisfied with His Majesty the Emperor’s opinion, so please pretend I didn’t hear that.”

Yurian put his index finger to his lips and made a gesture asking for a secret. He almost got angry at her sly behavior, but Urhar had to resolve the 'question' first.

“I want to talk about something that happened a little while ago.”

“Do you see it over there?”

However, unlike Urhar, who was trying to continue the story, Yurian was whining and pointing with his finger to the square where the parade was taking place.

“Lord Schwarz is over there.”

Where Yurian pointed, there was indeed Schwartz, the leader of the Knights of the Blue Lion.

“Your sullen expression is still the same. Well, since my days at the Academy, I’ve been someone who absolutely hates the hot sun.”

As Yurian said, Schwartz was expressing his 'discontent' with his characteristically expressionless face.

In that respect, Urhar felt ironic.

One side is expressionless, while the other side always shows their emotions clearly.

The other side always had a smiling face, but hid their emotions so that no one could read them.

“You and Senior Schwarz still have a grudge?”

In fact, it was something he said to himself as well. The shadow of 'Geumseong' was bigger than he thought, and it was enough to make him look at the character 'Yurian' with colored glasses.

“Well, I am in a one-sided position. I treat everyone equally under the imperial discipline.”

Another useless remark. Yulian has been like this since his school days.

Whenever I heard something difficult to say or something I didn't want to say, I would mutter something like this.

'for a moment.'

This isn't the problem right now.

“Wait a minute, stop beating around the bush, Yurian. What I’m wondering is whether you have any connection to the Black Knight.”

Yurian just smiled slyly after hearing Urhar's words.

After a moment of silence, Yurian looked around.

Actions such as searching for something are probably intended to confirm wiretapping.

There are no eyes to see.

Even if you have listening ears or 'magic tools' installed, they won't be able to be properly eavesdropped on due to the noise made by the knights inspecting.

“The missing horn.”

Yulian, who felt it, opened her mouth.

The atmosphere felt serious, unlike the smiling face, so I felt a strange sense of conflict.

“What did you feel when you saw that?”

“What did you feel……”

“Haven’t you talked to the Black Knight?”

Kukuk.

Yulian gave a short sneer.

Although he felt annoyed by that sight, Urhar barely held it in.

“There is someone who currently possesses the Horn of the Demon God and is trying to cause disaster. Didn’t the Black Knight ask you to check Cheon Seong Go to find out who it is?”

It was as if Yurian knew the conversation between the 'Black Knight' and Urhar at dawn.

The problem is that we cannot be sure whether we heard it from the mouth of the 'Black Knight' or through 'some other means'.

“I checked and came back.”

“Then, I guess you’ve come to your own conclusion.”

“You’re not the one who should tell me the conclusion, Yurian.”

Yurian knows that the 'Black Knight' and Urhar have made contact, but that doesn't prove that 'Yurien' and the Black Knight are working together.

“I intend to tell only the Black Knight, the actions I will take from now on.”

“Haha, you’re so stubborn. What are you trying to hide?”

Yulian gently placed his right hand on his chest and said with a smile.

“I am the black knight.”

"what?"

The moment Yurian revealed his identity as the Black Knight, Urhar felt embarrassed.

After that, a strong anger boils up from the lower abdomen, enough to wash away the 'embarrassment'.

“I can assure you, Yurian. You are not the Black Knight.”

“It’s true.”

“If you say such nonsense one more time, I might actually draw my sword on this spot.”

Urhar's sanctuary where one can never open one's eyes and watch others belittle them.

It was once the 'Black Knight', but it is now the 'Black Knight'.

“If he was such an admirable person, we could have cooperated from the moment we met.”

Despite the fierce anger directed at him, Yurian only smiled.

***

Crazy guy.

Even though he made a big decision and revealed the truth about himself as the 'Black Knight', Urhar still didn't believe him.

‘… … Well, I knew this would happen.’

Although it was a decision I made and said, I actually predicted that people wouldn't believe it.

Yurian.

Black Knight.

The only thing these two have in common is that they both use the 'Black Sword' school.

Even the unique 'Moon Jang Sword' is dyed black by 'Angelica' when acting as a black knight, so there will be no way to recognize it.

'The social perspective is also very different.'

A villain who easily commits evil deeds with a smiling face.

A good deed that works for the people in a strict atmosphere.

I think that the temperature difference between 'Yurien' and 'Black Knight' is probably around this level.

'still.'

I turned my gaze to Urhar.

“If I had known about the incident involving the Horn of the Demon God when we met the other day, my answer would have been different. Someone with such a noble mission would not do something wrong.”

Urhar speaks with eyes filled with respect only when talking about the 'Black Knight'.

'I never thought you'd be so serious.'

It was a bit shocking.

In the past, they used fear to exploit the name 'Laughing Squad', but isn't it time that their notoriety was diluted a little?

'It's nothing special.'

I feel a little bit lethargic.

'Should I come back and talk to the Black Knight again?'

Honestly, I don't want to do that. I thought it would be too much of a hassle, and at the same time, I thought that if I were to show myself as the 'Black Knight' so often, my identity might be revealed to the world.

'I said it with my own mouth a little while ago.'

I found his actions ridiculous, but let's just move on.

“The Black Knight will not appear before you in the near future.”

“Why?”

“He’s busy too. In dark places, he’s my agent. In bright places, I’m his agent.”

In fact, just saying this can be a huge hint.

I'm actually a black knight.

Isn't that what you're saying?

However, due to the conflicting atmosphere, no one could guess that even a statement close to 'coming out' would go that far.

Well then, let's get to the main point.

“……Why are you the agent of the Black Knight?”

No, let's get to the point. Urhar was still unable to get over the fact that he was the 'Black Knight' and his agent.

“Ahem.”

He coughed once in a gesture of calming down. Only then did Urhar come to his senses and scratch his head.

“As I said before, the Black Knight doesn’t have much time.”

There isn't much time.

That's right. Playing two roles is always a race against time.

“The Black Knight would like you to tell Lord Urhar where the ‘Horn of the Demon God’ is.”

There was no answer. When I looked at Urhar, his eyes were filled with confusion.

Still, the inspection was coming to an end. If more people came, there would be no place to have such an intimate conversation, so I quickly continued.

“If you find out the location of that horn, please contact me, and I will relay that information to the Black Knight.”

After saying that, I got up from my seat.

“With Lord Schwartz gone, I guess there’s no reason to see the inspection. I’ll get up now.”

I left, laughing.

Urhar was still just sitting there, blankly.

weird.

It's certainly a surprising story, but to be that shocked is amazing.

I had doubts about whether I had heard the story properly, but I had no choice but to leave, thinking that he had understood the request.

***

As the inspection ended, noises began to arise in the surrounding area.

Knights and royal officials, and Prince Osborne's servants lined up, with people moving up and down between them.

‘… … Black Knight.’

Urhar was still sitting in the seat where he had been talking to Yurian.

With a shocked expression, he swept his face with both hands.

– “As I said before, the Black Knight doesn’t have much time.”

Why.

'In this system… … those with noble intentions.'

Is it really this short-lived?

Urhar's eyes began to get moist.

Complex emotions began to surge through his chest like a tide.

'The Black Knight, now I know why he plays such a forceful and violent game.'

I have been wondering for a while now. Why does the 'Black Knight', who hides his face, carry out his work for the Empire with such force and violence?

The reason was simple.

Because I don't have time for myself.

He has to produce results within a limited time.

'Something that someone like me can't even say.'

It is an indescribable patriotism.

Urhar rose from his seat. The words of the incredible 'Laughing Executioner' had been spoken, but that fact was no longer important.

– “The Black Knight would like you to tell Lord Urhar where the ‘Horn of the Demon God’ is.”

Because he covered his face, even if he died, no one would remember him.

So, we have to make him bear some 'fruit' before he dies.

I.

I have to help him.
