YLTESCIA: A Reincarnator's Tale in the Lands of Merusia (3)

Chapter 425: Full-Sweep Clean Up (pt. III)

"I-I'm innocent! You can do this, General! This is abuse of authority!"

"That's right! You can't just barge into our mansion and arrest us!"

"Is this how the Kingdom's General should act?! This is shameful!"

Loudbark and yaps rang throughout the air, several figures pinned to the ground and some kneeling with hostility, their hands tied behind their backs and their heads now lowered forcefully, held down by the knights.

Before them was another figure, silky hair and beautiful eyes red as her flames, a fierce temperament hidden behind a calm facade. The ones kneeling continued to bark yet all she did was look at them remain silent, eyes filled with contempt.

"Even if you're the General, do you think you can get away with this?! I will make sure His Majesty hears of this shamelessness!"

"Haah... Are you really this stupid? To think you still haven't figured out what's happening right now, and you call yourself a noble." ［Cynthia］

"What?! Are you mocking me right now?! His Majesty will neverー"

"You stupid fool. It was His Majesty who ordered this arrest. If only you aren't needed anymore. I would have decapitated your heads already." ［Cynthia］

The General finished her words, a cold and scary glint shimmering in her eyes. Her expression was dark and can be, her words weighing down heavier than boulders as she let the insolent fools before her understand their situation.

She was not the type to joke nor she was the type to forgive. If it weren't for the fact that they can be used as decisive evidence and witnesses against Duke Schemer, she wouldn't have wasted her time and incinerated them already.

However, despite her hotheadedness, she has always kept her calm in front of the enemies. She needed to keep her emotions in check and not be blinded by her rage. Else, she would have already burnt down the mansion to the ground.

"Kugh...! You will never get away with this! Do you know who you're dealing with?! I have connections in the Royal Capital! They will never let this go!"

"Who? Duke Schemer?" ［Cynthia］

"So you knew! Then unhand us already! If you do, I'll act as if this never happened! As long as you repay me the compensation, I'llー"

"Pfft... Haha... Hahaha... Hahahaha! Hahahaha!" ［Cynthia］

A loud laughter burst forth throughout the halls, the General laughing her heart out all the way to tears as she tried to process the words projected towards her. It was so stupid, she couldn't help but laugh, her stomach hurting all the while.

It wasn't just her. Even the knights behind her were chuckling to themselves, trying to hold back their laughter. It was an absurd sight, the man before the General, frozen and still oblivious about what's happening. He was flabbergasted.

"Haha... Haah... You really are stupid, aren't you?" ［Cynthia］

"What?! How dare...! Let's see if His Grace will let this slide!"

"You pathetic idiot. After you, it will be the Duke's turn. If you adore him so much, then don't worry. You will all meet in hell soon enough." ［Cynthia］

Her cold eyes glimmered again, her voice sending chills down everyone's spines as it rang inside their ears. It was only then that the man realized just what sort of situation he was in, his face white as snow as his heart was swallowed by fear.

"Knights, take them away and lock them in prison. Make sure won't be able to escape and make a ruckus. Beat them up if necessary." ［Cynthia］

"G-General! Please spare us! We did nothing wrong!"
