Playing the Perfect Fox-Eyed Villain Chapter 270

Episode 270. The Remaining Whereabouts (2)

“Ugh…….”

The day after burying Kikubad in the mansion of Pulgorn along with the 'Horn of the Demon God'.

The first thing that greeted me when I opened my eyes in bed was pain.

– “Krrrrrrr……”

The pain was not caused by the wounds sustained in the fight with 'Kikubad', but by the backlash caused by 'Angelica's' violent attempts to destroy the house. At that time, 'Angelica' moved her body violently, causing an overload in her 'Mana Blood'.

“Damn it. How much did you swing your body?”

People often think that the 'mana blood' is an organ that only stores mana, but in fact, the 'mana blood' is closer to a muscle.

That's why, if you use 'Mana Blood' too vigorously, you will experience pain similar to muscle pain.

'Was it a problem that I gave away one mana point due to an incident a while ago?'

I don't really regret it, since that was the only way back then.

“Ugh…….”

No, I regret seeing the pain creeping in.

When I complained of pain, Angelica approached me cautiously, realizing that it was her fault.

“If you’re so worried, why don’t you exercise some self-control?”

After giving a curt answer to Angelica who approached him, he pushed the guy into the shadows.

"butler!"

After that, as I called the butler, I began to hear hurried footsteps outside the door.

“Did you call, master?”

“Please tell Captain Odwin that I will be late for work today due to a special mission.”

“……A special mission?”

The butler, who usually followed along without saying a word, briefly looked puzzled at the mention of a 'special mission'. However, he soon nodded, perhaps thinking that it was not something to be suspicious about.

"All right."

Soon, the butler left and I lay back down on the bed.

“I feel like I’m going to die…….”

I stuck out my tongue at the strange sensation, different from the intense pain I had felt until then, and buried myself in my pillow.

'I almost died yesterday.'

Because of the pain, I was indifferent to what happened yesterday, but after thinking about it carefully, I realized that it wouldn't have been strange if I had died right there.

Now, I no longer feel that fear. But there is one thing I regret.

'I had to see with my own eyes that the horn was completely buried.'

Judging from the buried location and the fact that the 'Resonance Stone Barrier' has been completely destroyed, there is a high probability that the buried horn is still intact.

Worst case scenario.

'It is possible that Kikubad survived and recovered the horn.'

So, now is the time to move and check.

“fu*k.”

I stood up, swearing. I wanted to rest from the pain I felt from the 'Manablood', but now I didn't know what would happen if I stayed still.

'Of course, I'm not going there myself.'

I'm not stupid enough to show up at the scene of the incident again.

If possible, it would be better to use the cards you already have.

“It’s where the horn is buried.”

Upon hearing the information I had given him, Third Prince Kaldrak swept his chin once.

“Except for the horn you have now, you are saying that it is one of the horns that Yules has?”

I nodded as if it was obvious to Kaldrak's question.

“Yes, that’s right.”

“I won’t ask you how you found out the place. After all, we both have to remove the horns.”

Normally, I would have been suspicious of such timely information, but Kaldrak had great confidence in me.

“But, it’s rude of you to come to me with that information.”

“Is that so?”

"of course."

Kaldrak nodded and opened his mouth.

“What you want is for me to dig up that place with the ‘wedges’ I have, right?”

As expected, he's quick-witted.

“But, since you’re using the wedges instead of yourself, it seems like your involvement in this case shouldn’t be officially revealed.”

Seeing that he was able to figure this out quickly, I had the feeling that he was not the prince after all.

“I’ll play along with your tricks.”

Although he created an atmosphere that seemed like he was rejecting the request, Kaldrak readily accepted the request.

If he had been the original 'Third Prince' Kaldrak, he would have hated being played around by others. It wouldn't have been strange if he had immediately turned over and tied my body with 'wedges', befitting the title of 'Iron-Blooded Prince'.

'You've become mature.'

So, are you the Iron-Blooded Prince?

“My goal is to kill Yulsis. That’s all.”

Kaldrak, who said with a refreshing tone, 'I want to kill Yulsis.' Looking at him like that, I spoke in a slightly embarrassed tone.

“Didn’t you say before that it was for the Empire?”

“I just said that because there were a lot of eyes watching.”

Kaldrak chuckled and then confessed his true feelings.

“I couldn’t even count how many times I died because of that guy.”

Kaldrak began to tremble as he recalled his experiences as a 'repeater'.

“Above all, we have to kill that bastard for Abisha to live.”

Kaldrak's expression became more serious when he said the name 'Abisha' than when he said anything else.

Actually, that's probably why I saw it.

“Then, I think it would be best to move right now. I want to deal with the ‘Horn of the Demon God’ as soon as possible and reduce Yulsis’s power.”

With those words, Kaldrak stood up from his seat. Judging from the fact that he was ordering the 'Wedge' right next to him to gather, it seemed that he intended to proceed with the work in an instant as he had said.

“Come to think of it, I forgot to tell you this.”

“What?”

“It is possible that Kikubad was also buried there.”

Kikubad.

When that name was mentioned, Kaldrak flinched slightly.

The original 'Kaldrak' has no reason to fear 'Kikubad'. However, it is safe to say that the current 'Kaldrak' is far removed from the flow of the story.

You must have seen 'Kikubad' through several 'repetitions', and there must have been conflicts in the process.

“Is he dead?”

“If that were true, that would be nice.”

“Then I guess I’m alive.”

With those bitter words, Kaldrak left the place with the 'wedges'.

***

Go find Yurian.

After hearing those words from the 'Black Knight', Urhar opened his eyes and went straight to 'Closed Eyes'.

'ah.'

In the process, Urhar forgot to put the Royal Knights' seal on his chest. When he saw the 'seal' that he had picked up without thinking, complex emotions began to rush over Urhar.

'I don't like it.'

When I first received this seal from the royal family, my heart was racing so much that I couldn't sleep. However, as time passed, I began to wonder what value the seal of the 'Royal Knights' held.

'I have to stop.'

Some people might point fingers at me and say I was a coward who couldn't stand the pressure of being a 'Royal Knight' and ran away. But it didn't matter.

For now, he was just seeing off the 'Black Knight' on his final journey. With that thought in mind, he entered the building with his 'closed eyes', and a nobleman greeted Urhar.

“What are the Royal Knights doing here?”

He is a noble with a slightly nervous feeling. As I searched through my memories of seeing him at the social gathering in the past, I realized that the noble's name in front of me was 'Pintel Obradin'.

“It’s nice to meet you again, Sir Pintel. I have some business to attend to at the ‘closed eyes’ right now…….”

“So, I’m asking you why you came to see me with your eyes closed.”

A clear and obvious hostility. The 'Royal Knights' could not be said to be on good terms with the nobles, but they were not bad enough to show such hostility.

That is why Urhar was quite bewildered by Pintel's hostility for no reason.

“Wait a minute, I came to see Yurian.”

Before anyone could even question why Pintel was here, Urhart had stated his purpose.

I thought that if I could quickly state my purpose, the hostility might disappear.

“Are you talking about Sir Yurian?”

However, contrary to expectations, Pintel's hostility grew stronger.

“What is your purpose as a Royal Knight?”

“……It’s personal business.”

“It’s personal business.”

Pintel glanced at Lazrot, who was standing next to him, with a displeased expression.

“I’m sorry, Lord Urhar, but Lord Yurian is currently away.”

“So when will you be back?”

“I have a feeling you won’t be back today…….”

As the apprentice of 'Closed Eyes' also looked at him with distrust, Urhar thought to himself.

'What is it?'

Did I do something wrong? No, after thinking about it carefully, I think it's because of my position as a 'Royal Knight'.

That would be the case, since the 'Royal Knights' came to meet the 'individual' in person, so there is a high probability that it was a 'call' or 'punishment'.

Even recently, Yurian was imprisoned under the orders of 'Yulsis'.

'……no way.'

Urhar looked back and forth between Lazrot and Pintel, then thought.

'Are you working for Yulian?'

Working for that weirdo? It's just ridiculous.

A person who has no hesitation in killing people, and works for his own selfish desires rather than for the 'empire'.

Of course, most nobles had such tendencies, but in the case of 'Yurian', the desire to prove himself was very strong.

“Following such a strange species…….”

Urhar let out a word he couldn't understand in an incomprehensible situation.

"what!?"

The one who reacted the most to Urhar's monologue was Pintel.

Pintel, holding his magic wand, slowly approached Urhar.

“What did you just say? Did you just say that Sir Yurian is a weirdo?”

Pintel expressed his anger with bloodshot eyes.

"yes."

Normally, Urhar would have apologized for his slip of the tongue, but he became excited at the name 'Yurien'.

The only human trusted by the Black Knight who lives in the darkness. Thinking that he is a different species like 'Yurien' still gives me a headache.

“He has thoughts that you, the likes of whom are beyond your reach.”

“So I guess that’s a good thing. I don’t understand that kind of weird thinking.”

Urhar's attitude was not at all shaken by Pintel's words. Looking at the two, Lazrot expressed his discomfort.

“I, I….”

If you're going to do it, don't do it here, go out and do it. Those words were right on the tip of my tongue, but how could I, a mere citizen, say such things to the 'Arch Bishop' and the 'Royal Knights'?

“Looking at your short-sightedness, it seems like the person you serve is no different from you.”

Pintel, his teeth chattering with anger, spouted out harsh words. Lazrot looked at him in surprise.

If you are served by the Royal Knights, 'Urhar', then it was decided, so what you are saying now is equivalent to 'insulting the Imperial Family'──.

“He is not like Yurian. Do you think that you can judge someone more than the imperial family, more than the empire?”

Lazrot felt a sense of relief. Fortunately, there was no mention of the 'royal family', so it seemed that Pintel would not be dragged in for blasphemy.

'however.'

Who else but the royal family is Urhar, the 'Royal Knights', serving? As such a question was rising in Lazrot's mind, the only person who could calm the situation entered.

'Sir Yurian!'

Yurian, who had gone out to run an errand for a while, has returned.

Pintel and Urhar.

Watching the two giants fight, the squinty-eyed man could only smirk.

At that moment, Lazrot let out a sigh of relief, knowing that the situation would be resolved at any moment.

“You are the one who judged others as you pleased! How dare you judge Sir Yurian with your pitiful knowledge…!”

“The first one to start was Sir Pintel!”

Watching the two arguing, Yulian thought.

‘… … My body is already in so much pain.’

What are these kids doing here?
