Adventure 5 ─ The mysterious "Kukuku", the sharp-eyed princess and the hero

Night fell after we left the city.

We stayed camping in the forest until it was time to infiltrate the territory of the idiot marquis.

He seems to be an important man from what I was told, but I'm not interested.

Night is the best place to infiltrate places.

The marquis' mansion was located in the center of the city. Which was surrounded by knights from corner to corner.

It was easy to outwit them when you dress like a commoner.

That is to say, I left the girls' clothes dirty and they thought we were beggars and ignored us.

I will rescue Alice's older sister, get information from that mysterious order and then go to the kingdom to save them.

We arrived at the Marquis's mansion, from the back, better said.

I said to both of them.

"You must stay here, I will cause a ruckus, but don't worry, the first princess will be rescued."

"By the way, how does your sister look?"

Alice began to give me explanations of her sister's appearance.

"She has the same hair color, blue eyes, always dresses elegant so you'll be able to identify her as soon as you see her."

"That sounds like you have a very unique older sister..."

I said it sarcastically, but she took it as a compliment.

"Hehe, my big sister is the best in the world."

"She's always very serious and firm in her choice."

"Ah, I forgot, my sister is very arrogant. So you must show that you are a vassal, otherwise she won't trust you."

"Show her this and she will know you are an ally."

She handed me her butterfly ribbon, I carefully put it away.

"Okay, let's get to work. Don't come in for anything in the world."

I climbed the wall and checked to make sure no one was around.

Soon the fun would begin.

I deal with humans, unless there's a high level mage, I'll have no problem getting rid of assassins and knights.

◇◇◇

When Lion came up, Alice sensed something strange.

"What's wrong princess?"

Louise asked her, Alice touched her head trying to remember.

"I feel like I forgot something to mention about my sister, I don't remember..."

Suddenly, they heard an alarm, Lion's attack started.

Alice screamed.

"Nooo!"

"What's wrong princess?"

Alice stood up quickly.

"I forgot!"

"Something very important like that I forgot."

"Louise, we must go in too."

"Huh? But we're just simple civilians, we don't have military practice or know how to use anything but magic."

"And it's not like our magic is useful here."

"It's not that!"

Alice shivered, it was due to a suppressed memory.

"I forgot about that."

"Something scary with my older sister that I ignore."

Louise shivered too.

"I-It's true. How could we have been so careless?"

"Louise, we should go inside and quickly look for Lion-kun and tell him that my sister is dangerous now more than ever!"

"B-But he told us to stay here."

The shouts from inside the mansion intensified.

"Louise, if my big sister meets him. She would be able to kill him."

"After all..."

Alice decided to go inside to prevent a misfortune from happening.

"My older sister feels repulsion to men."

◇◇◇

In the marquis's mansion, two people were in the luxurious dining room.

The walls were lined with paintings of the head of the house.

The red tablecloths were imported.

The chandeliers, chairs, silverware set, even down to the napkins they used, everything was fine.

Marquis Reiss was a man who lived like a king despite having a small territory.

"Kaka, aren't you going to eat your dinner?"

"Today's meat is very rich as it was bought especially for us, the ranchers spent years to grow the beef to be perfect for slaughter."

"Best of all, the cattle ranchers didn't see a penny, which makes it better for me, kakaka."

He was a man with a twisted personality, he took great pleasure in watching people without power or wealth beg or plead for food or money.

The marquis would gobble like a polite pig his food.

The person at the other end of the long table did not think so.

"I have no appetite."

Said a beautiful voice.

That irritated the marquis.

He stood up and walked over to the person who was standing with their arms crossed.

He grabbed its head and rubbed it against the plate.

"Don't try to play hard to get girl."

"Right now my men are looking for your useless younger sister, after you lure her away, kakaka."

The girl with leftover food on her face sent a stern look at the marquis.

Even if she had her feet and back tied to the chair.

Just by turning her face and sending a look of disgust to the marquis.

It was enough to make him afraid.

"Guh, take her away, take her to wipe the dirt off her face and then lock her in her room."

A couple of servants arrived and took the girl, who, after untying her, dragged her to the bathroom.

The marquis was very angry to see how she did not yield to the pressure.

"Guh. That damn bitch princess."

"If it wasn't that the slave market has a high value these days for virgin princesses, I would have made sure all my knights used them and then had the dogs devour them."

"I can't sell just her, I need the younger sister because I offered two sisters for the same high price."

"I would look bad in front of the merchants if I brought only one of the products."

"But kakaka, your foolishness will soon end, soon Serpente will bring along with Laffan your stupid younger sister and I will have the last laugh."

"Kakakaka!"

◇◇◇

A young girl was roughly thrown into a dark room where there was no light.

There was only a flashlight illuminating the place.

Standing up, revealing a dirty and tattered dress, the girl, the first princess of the Lespinasse Kingdom, dusted herself off.

Like her younger sister, she was an undisputed beauty.

Her honey blonde hair was so long that it reached to the small of her back.

Past her shoulders, that hair twisted like ringlets and gradually approaching the end of her hair, a beautiful sapphire blue color shimmered.

Her face, unlike her sister's, which exuded the cuteness of a princess, hers showed a woman who succumbs to no one.

Reflected in those ice blue eyes, covered on the right side by a fringe.

Showing off her proud tiara that proves she is the crown princess, Rosemary Sara Lespinasse sat all high and mighty in a dingy chair.

Her elegant aura stood out so much in that horrible place.

The one who brought her in was laughing at her.

"Hahaha, look at you, acting all smug and proud, you can't get any more pitiful than this Princess Mary."

Rosemary was only called that way by the only people she accepted to be called that, her mother and younger sister.

She glared with deep hatred at the man who used her name in vain.

"I did not give you the confidence to call me that, traitor Langland."

A handsome blond-haired man named Langland, he was a knight in charge of the crown princess's security as the captain of the royal guard.

He is called "was" because it was he who first betrayed the princess by taking her hostage.

Langland approached Mary, taking in her beautiful blue blonde curls.

"Princess Mary, none of this would have happened if you had accepted my proposal."

Langland wanted to marry Mary, he used the role of being someone close to her since her childhood and even being captain of the royal guard protecting her, he believed he had the right more than anyone else to marry the first princess.

Mary rejected him of course, she told him that a mere knight could not marry a princess like her.

It may seem very classist her comment, but Mary did not mean it as contempt.

It was really impossible that a mere knight could betroth the crown princess of a nation.

But misunderstanding her words, Langland was angry with her, and when the marquis told him of his plan, he agreed without hesitation.

"I am a respectable man, if you accept even at this moment, I can help you to keep you from being sold."

"That would save my younger sister and my nation?"

The princess asked with a serious tone, completely ignoring the pawing at her fine hair.

Langland stopped sniffing her hair and whispered in her ear.

"I'm afraid that can't be possible, your sister is a valuable commodity, you are different."

"About the country... Who cares about a small third rate country?"

"...!"

The moment he finished speaking, the princess's anger erupted.

Mary is a woman who loves two things in this world.

The first is her family, the second is her country.

But she must put her nation before her family, she was born as the crown princess.

She was born with such a great responsibility that from the time she was a little girl, she always prepared herself for that position.

Therefore, she thought that her husband should think the same as she did.

But often as she grew up, she realized that the men who were in charge of the country were repulsive pigs.

That made her generate a deep hatred not only for incompetent people, but also for men.

She did not hate men, a husband was necessary for her lineage to endure, she hated useless men who show off and do nothing.

Quickly Mary stood up and using the toe of her foot, kicked Langland hard in the groin.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

He made that sharp sound after he could feel his manhood being crushed.

Dropping to the floor and grabbing his crotch, Mary stepped on him again.

Disgust was reflected in those predator-like sharp eyes.

"I don't mind sacrificing my chastity, I don't mind throwing away my pride or humiliating myself for the sake of saving my family."

"I would have the children of a pig if possible if it meant that my homeland would be saved."

"But..."

Her mouth distorted in a way that made her heel dig hard into Langland's skin.

"Talking trash about my country, the very place where you grew up!"

"You're a piece of trash, a mold stain in my sight."

"Get lost and never speak to me again if you don't want me, with these same pedicured hands, to rip off your genitals and cook them in your face."

Mary was a very proud girl.

Her mother made a joke once.

"I'm sure the reason your breasts are so big is because they are stuffed with pride fufu."

It was said that the reason Alice had big breasts along with Louise was because they eat a lot of sweets.

While Mary's breasts were much bigger because they absorb some of her pride.

Among the maids there was a rumor that, if you became very proud, you could grow your breasts like the first princess.

Crawling across the floor, Langland fled.

After closing the door, he acted all cowardly.

"I-I'll remember this you fucking ugly bitch!"

After leaving, Mary stared at the wall, on it was an old picture, it was of the Marquis' family when he was a child.

She thought of her own family.

"I wonder how mother and Alice are doing?"

She folded her arms.

"I don't like to stay useless, but there's nothing I can do, committing suicide is not an option considering the possibility of there being a rescue."

She remembered something from her childhood.

As a child, she had hoped one day to meet a wonderful man.

"Father is not exactly the example of an exemplary man as such."

She always wished that her life partner, would be a man who fit her criteria.

"It is necessary that he be someone reliable, strong, above all that he is not useless. I'm not interested in looks because it's somewhat suggestive."

She had another motive, but she would never say.

"Is it so hard to find a non-trash man in this world?"

Suddenly, she heard a shout upstairs.

"What's going on up there?"

◇◇◇

The marquis was quiet in his office counting his money.

"10... 100... 500... 1000."

"A thousand gold coins collected in a single day!"

"I love how the money comes in so early in the day."

It is natural for an ambitious man to enjoy his money, but Marquis Reiss is a man who exaggerated to the point of counting up to thirty times the same amount.

"You really make me very happy. I already want those fools to come back with the princess and so sell both."

"A couple of princesses, especially chaste ones, ufufu. The money I'll collect from them will be gigantic."

The door was opened abruptly.

"I-I have a report to give!"

The marquis was of course angry.

"Insolent fool, I'll have your head chopped off for interrupting my moment of peace and quiet."

"My Lord, I am sorry to interrupt you, but this is something important to report."

The marquis bristled at that.

"Tch. If it's important, say so."

The words the knight said left him disconnected from reality.

"We were recently notified that several hours ago the lifeless bodies of Laffan-dono and Serpente-dono were found in a neighboring village!"

"... Excuse me?"

The marquis could not believe it.

"N-No, Laffan and Serpente are not weaklings, they are strong..."

A tremor was felt by the marquis and the knight.

"What was that?"

Through a megaphone that was in the room, they heard a terrifying news.

"Attention everyone!"

"An intruder has invaded the mansion!"

"I repeat, an intruder has─ Gyah!"

"..."

The sound of an object being cut was heard throughout the mansion.

Panic spread throughout the mansion and the servants rushed out.

It was rare for someone to dare to enter a nobleman's mansion, but attacking was different.

But having killed the one who was in charge of reporting it, frightened the civilians.

The marquis sweating profusely said to the knight.

"Go and tell everyone to catch that vermin now!"

"Don't kill them, leave them alive."

"Y-Yes."

The knight left the place, the marquis sat in his armchair biting his fingers.

"Damn it, one problem comes and now another."

The door again was opened without knocking and a mysterious figure was standing in that darkness.

The marquis became aware of the mysterious presence.

"It's you..."

"..."

"I usually don't call you for anything, but just in case, go take care of the girl."

"Remember well, don't kill or hurt her."

"..."

The mysterious figure bowed his head and left the place silently.

"Tch. That damn ghost is scarier than Serpente, he doesn't even say a word."

Marquis commented after being done in his pants.

◇

"Hello, good evening."

"I'm looking for a blonde, blue-eyed princess, have you seen her around?"

"Catch the intruder!"

"Don't let him escape!"

"Gyah!"

After infiltrating the mansion, I quickly attacked the guards.

Not a smart plan, but at least I avoid spending irritable time that I'd get caught in the end.

It was always the same, I would disguise or erase my presence, they would detect me and I would have to fight.

But now I'm the one attacking and leaving them confused.

I am looking for the princess and after locating her, I would kidnap her and run away from here.

I would escape out the front, use magic reinforcement to gain speed and then turn around to leave hidden, go after those two and then reunite the sisters.

The problem is that I can't find the princess.

I already checked the entire second floor, there seems to be a basement, but it's hidden somewhere, was what a knight said before I slit his throat.

I kept thinking in a corner.

(What would be the best place to hide a princess?).

"There it is!"

(The basement is a good choice, but it might be a trap and take her out quickly to get her out of my sight).

"He's immobile, let's go get him!"

(But if it was upstairs, they could get it out of the basement... What will be the correct answer?)

"Die!"

These guys came up to me while I was thinking.

They are really annoying, so I decided to slice them up.

I realized I could interrogate them, but I killed them all unintentionally.

"Guh, around here there must be someone who can help me."

I found a small man running.

"Hey you. I need to ask you something."

"...!"

I walked over and grabbed him by the neck of his shirt.

"I won't hurt you if you tell me where the princess is."

"Don't think you can get away with this!"

"...?"

Suddenly he said something strange.

"What are you talking about?"

"In this mansion there are many knights protecting the marquis, they will kill you and your companions."

This little bastard got cocky, I must educate him.

"To begin with, little man, there are no intruders other than myself."

"So if you don't want to get hurt..."

I took one of his fingers.

"You're going to tell me where the princess is."

I bent it to him like a twig.

"Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

He started whining in a funny way, even rolled on the floor.

"You, when you get caught I─ the marquis will make sure to torture you before killing you!"

"You know the marquis?"

"I-I do, I'm an important piece who was trying to run away to ask for help, if you really value your life─ Bbh!"

I stuck my foot in his mouth.

"I don't give a shit who you are, even if you're the real marquis. Tell me where the princess is."

"There she is!"

More knights were approaching.

The guy pointed above me and I removed my foot from his mouth.

"O-On the top floor of the mansion is..."

"The marquis won't let you get away with this!"

"That woman is very valuable to him."

The guy ran off, I already knew where she was.

So I hurried to cut these guys off and quickly climbed the stairs.

I ran up until I got to the top floor, there were no rooms around, but there was one at the bottom.

I quickly ran up and there was a guy standing guard there.

Bingo!

I approached and heard him say....

"Intruder, you shall not pass!"

"The great knight Langland will─"

I didn't give a shit what he meant, I gave him a hard kick and sent him flying backwards.

I cut the door in two, momentarily there was darkness, but after a while the dust cloud was gone, I noticed a beautiful girl sitting elegantly on a dirty chair.

I bowed quickly, unlike Alice, she did exude an aura of a princess.

"Good evening princess, I have come to rescue you on behalf of your younger sister."

"..."

She doesn't seem to believe me, I quickly pulled out the ribbon in the shape of a butterfly.

"That's from Alice..."

"That's right, Alice-sama asked me for help after rescuing her from some kidnappers."

"... Alice did that?"

"Yes, I'd like to explain further, but we need to get out of here as soon as possible."

I don't want to waste my time with these guys, I want to leave now.

She stood up and when she was walking in my direction.

"Kukuku."

A strange smile I heard.

It was the same weird smile I heard with the guy with the redcap.

I turned around and the guy I sent flying earlier was split in two.

The lights in the place were destroyed and a darkness surrounded us.

Out of that darkness emerged a strange man with torn, dirty and blood stained clothes.

His appearance was terrifying as well, hair disheveled, half of his face burned and without an eyelid.

He held a katana in his hands.

A katana!

"Kukuku, I was bored, really bored."

"Hey, do you know how bored Ibiza was?"

"Ibiza?"

The guy unsheathed his katana, all the metal was rusted and covered in blood.

"Azumabito Ohma is my name. I'm also known as the Dark Smile."

(They didn't exaggerate with the name.)

"Ibiza is my sword, this little guy is thirsty."

"He wants your blood."

"He wants blood of a princess!"

I cursed my bad luck to run into this kind of crazy.
