chapter 25

The knight commanders questioned me about what I had to do, but I just laughed and answered the question. It was a silent expression of my intention not to answer.

Actually, I could have said it.

It may be a bit sudden and completely unbelievable, but who would object to the idea of killing the guy who brought them to this point and has been picking on them every time without any consequences?

Even Iris, who is very strict about the principles, will agree, albeit passively.

But the reason I hid what I was going to do from now on was because the lord might be eavesdropping on the conversation inside the castle.

Although the player cannot use it directly, there was definitely a magic in the game that allowed for constant surveillance and wiretapping of a certain area. The NPC who used it was Arcana Magic Tower Lord.

That's why the Arcana Tower, which you face as a boss when taking the Human Hostility Route, is rumored to be really fucking tough for various reasons.

While using surveillance and eavesdropping magic spread throughout the fields of the Magic Tower and the Library to monitor players, he himself stays in the boss room and shoots out magic.

In other words, from the moment you enter the Magic Tower and the Great Library until the moment you reach the boss room and defeat the Arcana Magic Tower Lord, the entire field can be considered a boss battle.

'It must have been that NPC who cast a magic spell to restore everything to its original state in this castle, but I'm not sure if he also installed a detection spell at the lord's request.'

To begin with, this part was different from the game in that the magic that was applied to the castle was different, so I had a hard time being certain.

Of course, in the game, there was no surveillance magic installed, but in that place, all the lords and knight commanders were men, and now one of them was a woman, and the other wanted to make them sex slaves.

If that crazy pervert was the one who did that, it wouldn't be strange at all if he did something like wiretapping.

So, even if you could say that you were insulting the lord together to avoid arousing suspicion among the knight commanders, you could probably get away with it, but you had to keep your mouth shut about dealing with the lord.

If you get caught, you can't even say it's a joke.

"What, why are you here again?"

"I have come to report to the lord about the subjugation of the demons."

I used the ability check bead to focus my stats on divine power, asked Iris for a favor, and headed to the mansion. The knight at the main gate was still extremely rude.

It was quite a sight to see him acting like that, not knowing what his future would hold.

As I entered the mansion with my horse's head held high, looking for the lord, the servants all frowned and grumbled so that I could hear them, then disappeared somewhere with my horse's head held high.

As he was leaving, he started swearing at me as if he wanted me to hear it.

This time, a maid led me to an empty reception room, and I waited there for a long time. I thought she was a little polite when she made the suggestion, but now that she thinks she has the upper hand, this is how she ends up.

"You're here."

"Yes, my lord."

This time, too, after a considerable amount of time had passed and the table in the reception room was laden with refreshments, Yeongju came in, dragging his heavy body in a wobbly manner. Every time I saw him, his physique was strange.

"I saw what you brought as evidence of the subjugation. You alone caught the monster that Claudia reported failing to kill."

"It was nothing special."

"Yeah, yeah. Khuhheh. I have an eye for people."

'People-seeing eyes?'

When I heard that, I could barely hold back the laughter that was about to burst out.

If you really had an eye for people, shouldn't you have noticed that the person sitting right in front of you was trying to deal with you?

"Saddam, why did you call me? You didn't ask to see me just to report something like that. Don't you have something to do by now?"

The lord leaned back against the back of the sofa with an arrogant expression on his face. It was an expression that made you want to punch him in the face.

Since I had to do what had to be done, I looked into the lord's eyes with a very serious expression.

"From now on, can you please keep everything I say a secret?"

"Okay, I promise. Tell me."

"I need you to swear seriously that you will keep this matter a secret, no matter what."

Seeing how stubbornly I was holding on, the lord must have realized that something was not normal, and the smile disappeared from his face. He replied that he understood.

I took out the book with the devil in it from the pocket on my waist. As soon as the lord saw it, his eyes almost popped out. Greed was slowly rising in his eyes.

"that...."

"I'm sure your lord can guess what this is."

A book that gave off an ominous aura just by looking at it, something ominous that made one feel like something was wrong. Yeong-ju stared blankly at it, then quickly walked over to the window, rolled up his sleeves, drew the curtains, and returned.

"Tell me right now. Where did you get that?"

"It appeared after I killed that monster. It seems to be connected to the devil."

"devil...."

I lied without blinking an eye. The point of this conversation was to make the lord interested in this book by any means necessary. The process was not important.

It was the same in the game. No matter what ridiculous choice you made here, if you ended up making the lord take the book, you cleared the level.

Common sense tells you that if you make a deal with the devil, you would tell others what was said during the process. If you get caught, you're dead, no matter how much power you have or how many connections you have.

"And, would you like to know the pattern on the cover?"

"Hmm, no. I have no idea."

When I pointed to the letters that were scribbled on the cover, the lord shook his head. They were letters I didn't know anyway, but that wasn't the point at hand. It was time to lie again.

"I have overheard a little of this knowledge before. I dare say it has something to do with the demon of lust."

"A demon of lust, what is that?"

"It is a devil who promises men infinite sexual energy and women endless sexual desire and a body that can make them climax just by brushing against a man's collar."

Of course, this is all a lie. In Blizzard 4, there were no demons like those in novels or games.

To begin with, the demons here are all just monsters crazy for killing. They don't kill men and rape women, but they kill men and kill women.

But since Yeongju didn't know about this inside story, he could clearly see the desire that had been slowly rising in her eyes suddenly being pulled away. Now, my work is done. This book will take care of the rest.

"Hoo… … ."

The lord's eyes were filled with greed. Hehehe, he smiled and reached for the book, so I pulled my arm back slightly. The lord's hand wavered in the air.

"No, my lord. Why would someone who knows the truth do this?"

I smiled slyly. The lord glared at me for a moment, then seemed to realize that I had the upper hand in this deal, so he leaned back against the back of the sofa and let out a long sigh.

"Okay, what do you want?"

"Well, I think your lord knows better what I want."

I didn't want anything more than his life, but in these types of deals, you have to make the other party present their own terms.

I kept a sly smile on my face, and Youngju frowned deeply and thought deeply. After groaning and thinking like that, his mouth opened cautiously.

The tone was much more polite than before.

"I know what you want. I'll give you a woman you can break and destroy at will. She'll definitely satisfy your desires."

'… … Are you crazy?'

When did I ever do that?

I tried to control my expression while trying to suppress the desire to seriously hit him on the head. In fact, even if I hit him on the head here, he would never give up the book, but what happened after that was the problem.

"Let me listen first and then decide. Who are you?"

"My daughter."

For a moment, I was so shocked that I almost dropped the book. I barely managed to keep my fingers strong enough to prevent such a disaster, but there was no way my actions just now would have gone unnoticed by that bastard.

The lord chuckled.

"You look quite surprised."

"Of course you'd be surprised. The lord's daughter? Is it okay for you to hand her over to someone like me?"

"Of course it's okay. You can have another child anyway, and it wasn't something you cherished. Also, shouldn't you naturally pass the successor position to your son? I'll give you my daughter, so use her as a sex slave or a prostitute to make money, do whatever you want with her. I can just pick a suitable woman and have another one."

Yeongju chuckled to himself as he did so. His cheeks and belly fat rippled at the same time.

Sure enough, I was wrong. No, he was crazy. He was going crazy, much worse than the game.

"So, will you take the deal?"

"I have one more question. Since you are the lord's daughter, you are guaranteed to be beautiful, right?"

"Hmm? Hahahahaha! Right, I forgot to tell you that! I can vouch for your looks! Of course you're pretty! So much so that I thought I'd touch you before you became an adult!"

'....'

Use it.

I just casually asked the question to avoid raising suspicions since it seemed like something that would be natural to ask when receiving a woman, but I never expected to get such an answer.

As the crazy world line of the card said, I felt deep in my bones that there is a bottom even in the bottom. I never imagined that human nature could be such a mess.

"Okay, I'll accept it. Please call your daughter here. But, what are you going to explain to your daughter?"

"Do I need a reason to treat my child? Of course, I should do as my father says!"

The lord laughed with his mouth wide open, seeming very happy that the deal had been made.

'Oh, that crazy guy.'

Whatever my feelings, this was a done deal.

I put the book in my pocket so that no one else could see it, and the lord ordered the maid to call his daughter.

Soon, a girl came into the room, panting. She had long black hair that reached down to her waist, was wearing a dress, and had golden eyes.

He must have run all the way here, but he was panting for breath. He quickly put his hands together in front of his lower abdomen and bowed his head politely to us.

It was more like he was looking at someone higher than his own father.

"Did you call, Father?"

"Say hello, Aurora. This man has decided to take you away."

"yes?"

The golden pupils of the girl called Aurora shook slightly. It must have sounded like a bolt from the blue to her. Honestly, I didn't know that Yeongju would be so quick to attack me like that.

But apart from that, I felt satisfied that things were going well. Of course, it wasn't because I could use Aurora as a sex slave, there was another reason.

That's because, in order to quickly and without confusion after killing the lord, the lord's daughter had to take the empty seat of the head of the household. Only then would the story proceed without a hitch.

The reason I was so surprised when I heard the offer to give my daughter to him earlier was because I was wondering how to meet the lord's daughter, and that was resolved so easily.

"Oh, Father. What is that… … ."

"Don't be so picky. It's already been decided."

Aurora asked back with a trembling voice, but the lord firmly stated that he would not accept rejection. Sadness and despair filled his golden eyes.

"Well then… … ."

The lord smiled and extended his hand, and I handed him the book, including the pouch. The lord gave a mean smile, shook my hand once, and then left the reception room, holding the pouch in his arms.

'Ugh, shit.'

I wiped my hands vigorously on the sofa.

Now, in the living room, only I was left wondering how to start a conversation, and Aurora was hanging her head in despair.

After thinking about it for a while but no good idea came to mind, I was about to start the conversation with the safest thing, "Hey… … ."

"I apologize for coming here without any preparations to welcome you, as this was a sudden decision."

'huh?'

As Aurora said that and bowed, I froze in my position, about to open my mouth, wondering what was going on. Whether I did or not, Aurora continued talking.

"If you would like to taste my body, I will gladly accept it. However, I feel that I cannot properly serve you in this state, so I think I should prepare myself separately before that."

"No, just a moment-"

"Please wait on the top floor of the mansion annex."

Before I could even stop her and tell her to wait a moment, Aurora turned around and left without even listening to me. Her back quickly disappeared into the distance.

Left alone, I stood blankly in the room.

'… … Surely you're not going to run away like that?'

If you do that, you can solve it, but I was worried before that happened. If you buy time like that and then become pessimistic about your life and make an extreme choice, or if you just run away, I'll be in big trouble.

'Please don't do that.'
