I became the sick nobelman

Chapter 9 - I'm Back (3)

"As you wish."

Cassion's hands, each held a dagger in them.

Ruel looked at Mineta with determination.

His journey will begin by using him as his stepping stone.

This was a world where strength spoke better than the law.

It was quite common to see people lose their life on a mere command.

Knowing this, Ruel didn't turn his eyes away, he watched while pinching his thighs tightly.

The assassin's dagger danced.

With each swing, blood gushed out like a fountain from the knights' necks at the smooth, swift motions.

Ruel frowned.

"Ugh!"

The scream came from Mineta.

This was because the sharp blade was aiming at his neck.

"Never mind, keep going."

Ganien did show any intention of stepping in. There was no point in coming forward in the first place.

There was no one here to beat Cassion.

Shoosh.

A knight approaching Ruel was dead before uttering a single sound..

"It's over."

At those words, Ruel finally relaxed, loosening the hand that held his thigh.

Only then did he feel the pain.

Ruel stood up enduring the pain, walking with a cane as his support.

Tak.

At the sound of the cane getting closer, Mineta trembled violently, as if experiencing a seizure.

He was desperately wishing this was merely a nightmare.

All the knights he brought with him were slain in an instant.

"Slug."

A weak sound came out of Ruel's mouth.

But the fear in Mineta's eyes didn't disappear.

"You're just a puppet. Isn't that right?"

The slow-witted man was not the one at the top.

The real culprit was borrowing the slug's hand and was sucking him like a parasite.

"So who told you to do this?"

Ruel said a bunch of random names he knew at the start. And only at the end did Ruel bring out the names of the culprits.

The real mastermind of the Setiria crisis, which was later revealed in the novel.

"......my aunt, Carbena Setiria, and your wife, Jane Setiria."

Mineta's face froze.

Ruel looked at him coldly.

"Did the people of Setiria, really wanted to kill my parents that badly?"

"......AAH!"

At the screaming, Cassion and Ganien gaze hardened at once.

"Ganien, I want you to be quiet."

My head was ringing because of the loud scream.

He had already been in the worst condition due to the time he spent on the carriage.

He activated the power of recovery and barely spoke, so he didn't have the spare energy to focus on anything else.

Ganien stabbed a sword into Mineta's thigh, while covering his mouth.
