Chapter 106
‘F*ck…’
Hert felt his heart sinking as he approached Tessa’s room. He saw more and more of his soldiers strewn about on the ground, collapsed after they had been attacked. He hoped that she would at least be safe.
Arriving in front of Tessa’s room with a trembling heart, Hert hurriedly entered through the open door, putting his sword back into its scabbard.
“Tessa!”
The room was kept relatively clean. But Tessa was nowhere to be seen. Hert couldn’t decide whether to be relieved or anxious about that fact.
It was still unknown whether Tessa had left the room on her own accord and escaped the castle, or if she had been dragged out of the room unwillingly and was being dragged elsewhere. There was also the possibility that she might still be wandering somewhere in the castle.
“Tessa, it’s me! Can you hear me?!”
Hert came out of her room and called for Tessa. Just in case Tessa didn’t escape and was hiding somewhere, he hoped she’d hear him and come out.
Some time later, Hert noticed an unexpected figure in the distance, bleeding from his head and moving rapidly, running along with two soldiers.
“That punk…”
It was Ferdale, the Young Marquis of Jutert who wanted to kill Hert by stepping on him. Since Hert hadn’t seen Ferdale in the battlefield, he wondered if Ferdale had sent his troops only instead of himself. But Hert never thought Ferdale would be sneaking around like a rat over here.
Hert took a quick look around and picked up a bow and arrow lying on the floor.
Hert, who skillfully shot an arrow from the bow even on the unstable floor, aimed his bows at any of the two soldiers moving with Ferdale.
He wanted to put an arrow right through the Young Marquis’s head, but he didn’t have the slightest desire to send Ferdale to death that easily.
He was planning on giving Ferdale a very terrible, excruciating end.
Fwoosh—!
As soon as Hert let go of the bowstring, the soldier was hit by an arrow in the forehead, collapsed to the floor and tumbled down the stairs. Because of this, Ferdale, who was busy moving, completely stopped and looked around while screaming.
“Sh*t! W-What!!”
Hert picked up another arrow and shot the other remaining soldier cleanly. As the two soldiers protecting Ferdale died in an instant, he trembled greatly and drew the sword he was holding and swung it randomly into the air.
“Don’t be a coward and attack from behind, come out and attack!”
Hert, who had thrown away his bow, strode toward Ferdale. Before long, Ferdale saw Hert and stepped back in surprise. He looked surprised that he did not expect to see Hert here. Hert had the urge to shove and stab Ferdale’s face with a dagger.
“You, you, you…! How…!”
“Are you able to wield that sword properly?”
“Don’t come!”
As Hert closed the distance, Ferdale once again swung his sword carelessly while shouting. The attack, which everyone could see was sloppy, made Hert’s stomach twist and boil in a different way.
Thinking that Tessa had been abused for a long time by such a brat made him feel ridiculous and angry.
“Sh*t, don’t come—”
“Shut up.”
Thump! Hert kicked Ferdale on his legs, easily knocking him over. It was not difficult for Hert to subdue a man who was neither a knight nor properly trained.
“Because it’ll all be the same.”
“Aarghh!”
With the sudden attack, Ferdale fell down with his nose on the floor, and naturally lost the sword in his hand. Not missing the opening, Hert trampled Ferdale’s chest with his feet and restricted his movement.
“You’re just a bug—”
“Kuhk, heuk… fu, ack!”
“You tenaciously cling to life.”
“Ku-uhk… I can’t b-breathe…”
“I should have just killed you then.”
Like looking at something less than a bug, Hert looked down at Ferdale. His blue eyes, sunken low, were filled with murderous intent. Ferdale’s body trembled at the thought that he might really die on the spot because of that murderous look.
“Did you do it?”
“Kugh, did w-what…!”
Ferdale pushed down Hert’s foot, which stepped on his chest and reached out his hand. However, Hert’s legs, as hard as iron rods, did not budge. Hert sneered seeing the Young Marquis struggling and put more strength on his feet.
“Kuohk, if… you do this, you will…! Regret it…!”
“That would be you. I should have searched for you sooner, I regret wondering why you were still alive for no reason.”
“Hu-ohk… st, stop…”
“Tell me straight. What were you trying to do by sneaking into the castle like a rat?”
“I, I… am going, kuhk!”
Hert’s patience was gradually running thin at Ferdale, who was only yapping about while being trampled on by him and unable to move.
In fact, he didn’t have enough time to talk here. The castle was collapsing, and he did not know when it would turn to rubble completely. It was fortunate that the castle’s disintegration rate was slow thanks to its huge expanse.
“You don’t seem to understand, don’t test my patience. I’m holding back from wanting to rip off your neck right now and throw you away. What did you do to the castle?”
“Huk, s-sh*t… It’s, it’s not… Kuk, what I did!”
Ferdale screamed out in anger. Thinking that if this continued, his lungs might really be crushed and he would die.
“I, I also… didn’t… expect this to happen…!”
From Ferdale’s point of view, the current situation was quite unfair. He really didn’t expect the castle to collapse. If the castle collapsed in the first place, not only would his plans be disrupted, but it would be a painful loss for him, who would inherit the Jutert family, as he would lose one of his precious assets. He had no reason to tear down the castle.
‘I’d be crazy! How much exactly is this castle worth!’
It has been a long time since Jutert Castle lost its function as a fortress. However, apart from that, the castle itself had considerable value.
It was called a living history, proving the legitimacy of the Jutert family, and since it had ruled the area for several hundred years, the interests entangled with it could never be ignored.
Therefore, if the castle collapses, Ferdale will suffer only losses without any gains.
“…Haaa, more than that… do you, have time, to… keep me here now?”
Ferdale breathed heavily and looked at Hert. He had to somehow catch his opponent off guard and run away. Otherwise, his chest will really burst at Hert’s foot and he will die.
Fortunately, Ferdale knew one Achilles’ heel that could put a crack in that perfect-looking face.
“You’re not looking… for that woman? Kuhk… Shouldn’t you, go… save her?! I, I’m sure, you’ll… regret, huohk!”
“…If you don’t want only half of your neck left, you’d better talk properly from now on.”
When Tessa was mentioned by Ferdale, Hert removed his foot and grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up. Ferdale’s height was slightly above the average male height, but even that seemed small compared to Hert’s gigantic body. Soon after, Ferdale was picked up by Hert and hung up in the air.
“If you kill me…”
“Where is she! Where did you take her?!”
“I, won’t… say it, kuohk!”
As the hand that grabbed his collar tightened and strangled him, Fer Dale struggled in pain. This, this, let go… The strangled Ferdale’s pupils were about to rise, leaving only the whites. The castle shook violently with a loud noise, and the walls and ceiling cracked apart, pouring out debris.
Booooooom— the castle was gradually breaking down with a loud noise. His life would be in danger if he did not escape immediately.
Hert bit his lower lip as he dodged the falling debris from above. On the other hand, Ferdale, who had been held in his hands, was floundering around, half-conscious.
“Sir Shine! We must escape!”
The scattered soldiers gathered one by one and went to Hert.
