The Only Ending for the Evil Count Pig Is Destruction

207 – Scene 207# Appointment

*

In the throne room, the heads of the Seven Stars had arrived and were waiting for the emperor.

After lightly greeting them, Gale opened his mouth heavily.

“I plan to step down from my position as head of the Wolfbert family for the last time today.”

The heads of the family were quite taken aback by his sudden declaration.

In particular, Prime Minister and Odell, who were close friends with Gayle, seemed very shocked.

“Lord Gale. That means… Was the rumor that you were defeated in Dangju Dalian true?”

“That’s how it happened.”

“Huh… I would have thought that Lord Gale was on active duty…”

“I still think of myself as active duty. However, I can say that my child surpassed me faster than I expected.”

“Umm…”

It must have been difficult for Odell, who knew Gale’s abilities, to accept. However, Gail, who appeared with bandages all over her body, looked like an absolute loser. Moreover, Gale’s attitude did not seem like he was lying.

“What? Game. Are your children that big already?”

The head of the Elsink family, Laura, also intervened and said something.

“Okay. “It seemed like that.”

“Ugh. Then why did you make such a strange thing as a couplet between the head of the family… The head of the family is supposed to eat until he dies!”

“Hmm! I heard that it was not Patrick who defeated Sir Gayle, but his daughter!”

This time, Leon, the army captain and head of the Feyrigris family, joined the conversation.

“I remember that Count Ruelberta’s bodyguard that I saw at the last reunion was the Lord’s daughter! Then, Kyeong-eun-.”

“Okay. Leon. “I lost to that kid.”

Gale admitted defeat as if it was no big deal. The fact that he acknowledged defeat and wasn’t ashamed made me think that he was a warrior to the core.

“Hmm… ! So, does the Count’s bodyguard become the head of the Wolfbert family?!”

“Uh? I know? What happens?”

In addition to Leon and Laura, I was also curious about that.

With everyone’s attention focused, Gale shook his head.

“The leadership of Wolf Wert will be passed on to his eldest son, Patrick.”

“Then your daughter… ” ?”

“That child is an excommunication. Step…”

It was only for a moment, but Gale’s gaze turned towards me.

“I will not deprive the child of the name Wolfbert.”

Indeed. Did you reach an agreement like that? .

The relationship between father and daughter, which had been severed for a long time, was festering. In the original, the tragedy of Gale being murdered by Helga ultimately resulted from the lack of communication.

When I admitted Gail and Helga to the same hospital room, I meant for them to talk to each other. Of course, I didn’t even want the two to return to a normal father-daughter relationship now. It was just a simple wish that we could return to a less bad relationship than we have now.

“What? “What kind of ripple effect is that?”

“An excommunication is an excommunication. As has been the case until now, that child will never set foot in our family in the future.”

Fortunately, after listening to Gail’s words, it seemed that my wish had come true to some extent.

But. Gail seemed to want to put Helga in the position of head of the family, but that would only cause greater confusion.

There is no way Hildegard and Patrick, the powerful figures of the family, will stay still, and there is no way the family members will recognize Helga, who suddenly appears, as the head of the family.

Although it was an awkward agreement, I was somewhat satisfied.

“Hmm… ! “If Sir Gale’s family circumstances are the same, there is nothing we can do!”

“Joy… “I could just ignore it and sit in the head of the family.”

“Thank you for your hard work. Gail.”

“Haha… It’s a shame.”

“Haaam…”

Except for Colin, the head of the Richette family, who just yawned as if it didn’t matter, the atmosphere was generally understanding and accepting of Gale’s retirement.

Come to think of it…

Bella, who had been standing next to me from earlier, said nothing.

After arriving at her throne room, she didn’t even look in my direction.

“… “Don’t talk to me.”

“… ?”

I didn’t say anything… ?

She spoke coldly while staring directly at her.

“Don’t even look at me.”

“… “I didn’t look.”

“I thought you were looking at me now. “I’m not allowed to even think about it.”

No. What the… ?

Perhaps because she had been hit by the so-called “Wall” Due to her “Pride” Earlier, Bella was more gloomy than ever. She was just like a cat, not looking at me and not wanting to leave my side her her her her.

“It seems like everyone has gathered.”

Everyone turned their heads to the voice that suddenly sounded.

The emperor finally appeared in the throne room.

“Meet Your Majesty.”

The heads of the Chilseong clan knelt down on one knee and bowed as if they had made a promise.

Except me.

I was looking at Luna who was sitting on her throne with her back straight. However, he wouldn’t have been seen as a fool who didn’t know manners.

Because it was natural for Tristan, the head of the Ruelberta family and a great nobleman that no one could touch in this country.

It’s not like Anhamuin. It’s just a natural behavior that comes from a good understanding of who has the upper hand.

“… “Hmph.”

Luna, who was furious at first, now looks like she’s okay with you doing that.

“Everyone raise your heads.”

“Yes.”

“You might be wondering why Jim suddenly called me at this hour.”

Luna crossed her legs arrogantly and said while looking at Odell, Leon, and Gale.

“Before that, Gale.”

“Yes. “Your Majesty.”

Gale bowed deeply at the emperor’s call. Her body was so large that even when she lowered her head, she was at the same eye level as Luna on the throne.

“I heard the news. Are you resigning from your position as head of the family?”

“Yes.”

“Okay. Jim can’t interfere with that. But were you planning on resigning from your important position?”

“… I’m sorry, but that’s true.”

Gale said with his head down.

“I cannot continue to hold the position of captain of the Imperial Navy, as I am not the head of the family or anything else. Please, if His Majesty dismisses me, that would be a blessing… “I won’t forget.”

“That’s not right.”

Luna flatly refused.

“Game. You are a talent that the imperial army absolutely needs. As long as you are here, I have no intention of handing over the duties of naval captain to anyone else. You are my appointee. Fulfill that responsibility.”

“… “If your Majesty says so, I will gladly accept it.”

“Are you coming?”

Luna nodded her head as if satisfied with Gale’s simple reaction and spoke to us.

“Some of these people may already have heard of it and know it. “Jim decided to recapture the North.”

“Your majesty?! Speaking of the North… !”

“Umm… Is it Northern Garden? .”

He muttered as if he remembered Mondry.

Luna nodded her head thoughtfully.

“Yes. “I plan to regain the land I lost during the reign of the former emperor and repay the humiliation I received from his demons.”

“But Your Majesty.”

At that time, it was Bella who stepped in front of Luna.

“How dare I, as a subject, fathom the humiliating feelings the former emperor experienced, but Northern Garden is occupied by many monsters… Perhaps the most dangerous area in the country. If you’re not careful, you could end up making a big sacrifice.”

“Okay. It’s as you said. Bella.”

Luna smiled as if she was satisfied with her point.

“In the meantime, the Northern Garden was full of monsters and demons, so it was not easy to approach. However, according to Jim’s research, the number of monsters in Northern Garden has been rapidly decreasing in recent years. This is the only opportunity to regain the northern strategic point that this country desperately needs… “Jim thinks.”

The northern part has been a region where demonic spirits have been strong since ancient times, so demons frequently appear.

Northern Garden, located in the northernmost part, was a strategic point that prevented monsters from moving south.

The emperor, who knew its importance, emphasized to us that it was absolutely necessary for the empire.

Laura, who had been listening quietly, opened her mouth.

“I understand your Majesty’s intentions. If Your Majesty says so, I have no intention of opposing it. The only thing I’m curious about is… This is the reason why all of our Chilseong were summoned for the Northern Expedition.”

“It’s simple. Laura. Because we need your help in the northern expedition.”

“Yes?”

“100,000.”

Number presented by the emperor. That number is none other than…

“This is the number of the Northern Expeditionary Force.”

“… !”

Have you already collected that number? .

Hearing the enormous number of 100,000, it feels quite realistic that it is an expeditionary force.

“Preparations for the expedition are progressing smoothly. We’ve already secured troops. However, the problem is that there are not enough commanders compared to the number of soldiers.”

Only then did I understand what the emperor was trying to say.

The accepted emperor my opinion and increased the armament of the imperial army and began conscription on a large scale. However, the only thing that increased was the number of soldiers.

The number of experienced people to command them has not increased significantly.

“I plan to give command of the northern expeditionary force to those of you who have sworn loyalty to the imperial family. I believe you will handle my army skillfully.”

“Your majesty…”

“If you don’t want to, you don’t have to participate in this expedition. Some of you may be distant or reluctant to fight. I can understand if you can’t help me.”

Luna, known as the cruel emperor, asked us in an attitude that was not her own.

As you can tell just by hearing the sheer number of expeditionary forces, this expedition is an important task that must never fail.

She probably decided that it would be better for her to appoint people she could trust, even if they were not very good at the position of commander.

“So as not to repeat the ‘autumn tragedy’ like it did during the time of the former emperor… You guys lend me your strength.”

“Mmm! Hey Leon! “I join Your Majesty’s will!”

At that time, Leon intervened in a loud voice.

“The imperial army has also expanded its armaments and become stronger than before! Moreover, if Count Ruelberta, who has excellent private soldiers who wiped out monsters in the outskirts, takes overall command, it can be said that it is not a battle without a chance of victory!”

“For a moment… Who is in overall command?”

As Leon spoke, Bella looked at me and the emperor in turns as if it was the first time.

“Hmm! With great insight, His Majesty decided to entrust the overall command of this expedition to Count Ruelberta! Haha! So you have nothing to worry about! We will be victorious as long as we fight according to the count’s plan! Everyone, please rest assured and follow His Majesty’s will!”

Leon was confident, beating his chest.

He, who leads the imperial army, has already finished talking with the emperor about the expedition.

It may have been his intention to give strength to the emperor’s opinion, but what he actually said was a spoiler.

That’s a big spoiler too.

“Leon, that idiot…”

The emperor covered his face and regretted it, but it was already too late.

“Your majesty!” Is what Sir Leon said true?!”

“Okay. The overall command of the expeditionary force… That guy will do it.”

The emperor pointed at me as if he was very displeased.

Luna is the ideal emperor’s personality born in Lucy’s mind. In other words, because he was an outstanding emperor, he probably knew better than anyone else that I was the only one suitable for this expedition.

And as I expected, the backlash was fierce.

“I don’t understand. Even though it was His Majesty’s order his, that man…”

The first to express dissatisfaction was Laura.

And I thought the next person to rebel was Mondry, but he was someone unexpected.

“Your majesty!” Please think again!”

It was Bella.

“Even if the Count has a strong private army, I think it is different from commanding the army. Although he may ask for advice on expeditions, the huge task of overall command is not suited to him. Moreover, the Count lacks experience in combat. At least a warrior like Leon or Gale, or someone well versed in swordsmanship, would be a better fit…”

“I can’t help it.”

However, despite Bella’s active appeal to her, Luna only shook her head resolutely.

“This is a decision that Jim thought about for a long time. As of today, Jim will appoint Tristan as expedition commander. From now on, those who will participate in the expedition must follow Tristan’s instructions.”

“They say so.”

“Count…” .”

Bella looked up in exasperation.

It seems like you never want to acknowledge me as the overall commander, but that’s not possible.

Because I must lead this expedition.

I slowly opened my mouth.

“As the overall commander of the northern expedition, I will give you an order.”

The expedition hasn’t even started yet, but I gave the first instructions. That’s the content…

“You should leave this expedition. “Bela Isaachel.”
