197 195 Beast King and Blue Cat Clan

War has already vanished from the Beast King. Fran doesn't break his guard as he stands, but he's not letting go of the killer anymore. Because Royce started healing Zephmate's wounds.

"What the hell is going on?

"Sire, haven't you explained?

"Uh, well."

"Not at all... you provoked him with a great attitude, not telling him the key thing anyway, didn't you?

"Mm..."

"Ma'am, are you hurt?

"... None"

"Really? What does blue pride have to do with you?

"Zephmate is... a friend. I hate the others."

"Uh, I see. Your Majesty?"

"I get it! He said I was sorry!

"So why did you try to kill Zephmate?

"Because he sheltered the rest of the team."

"Oh, let me explain"

Roche explained in detail what is happening now.

Oh, my God, now Beast King Rigdis hasn't admitted to the slave trade, but rather is turning around freeing the slaves of the Black Cat Clan.

Because of this, I did not agree with my predecessor the Beast King, and because he was about to be abolished, he had a coup d 'état on the contrary, killing my father the King and seizing his throne.

He's been working out as an adventurer thinking about that time for a long time and secretly recruiting his people. The coup would have been an easy success, too, because you say all adventurers above Rank A in the Beast Kingdom are Rigdis' men.

In addition, the slave traders and spies of previous generations were solemnly cleared, and now they are protecting the Black Cat tribe while searching for and crushing slave traders operating outside the country?

"Then why were you fighting Zephmate?

Though it seems more like Zephmate and I would like each other.

But Zephmate, who sees blue pride as family, couldn't agree to take his life, even if he was a traitor. And I begged him to wait for punishment because I would rehabilitate him.

Well, there's no way the short-tempered Beast King would accept it, and it's a battle with Zephmate. Then Fran broke in and said he had come.

If you listen carefully, the Beast King's words were just rambling and he did not scorn the Black Cat Clan.

"Anyway, that means you're gonna side with these guys, right? To the Black Cat Clan scum?

That statement means as it is. I was just asking if Fran, the Black Cat clan, would take the side of the slave traders when he wanted to free them.

"Haha, it's a beautiful friendship between the Black Cats and the Blue Cats! That's so funny and pathetic!

That meant something similar. It can also be taken as a provocation, but he didn't even have the will for the Beast King.

And while we were dealing with the Beast King, we were told that members of the Blue Pride had been captured by the Beast King's men.

"Damn......"

Zephmate groans in remorse.

"If you resent me, resent me. But I'm supposed to have sent out a circular to all Blue Cats telling them to stop the slave business, right? Ignoring that circular, it was these guys who were doing the slave trade with Kosokoso. And it's also your fault for missing out on the beauty and not realizing what your men do."

"... I understand"

I guess I regret it because I know. This would not have happened if I had firmly held my men's reins and been aware of their sins.

"How many did you survive...?

"About 20 people."

"Really..."

"Dear Rig, I have brought the mastermind"

There Gododarfa showed up dragging two Blue Cat clans. Literally, he dragged the Blue Cat clan rolled to the ground with the tip of the string tying the Blue Cat clan in his hands.

"These two are part of the slave syndicate that was connected to the previous Beast King."

"Lord Seneck, Lord Toldo... did you two fool everyone?

"... Hmm. The Black Cats, etc., are not able to evolve too. So much so that I sold it off, why in these eyes......!

"That's right! I'm just doing it for us, uselessly!

It was the old men of the Blue Cat clan with the nasty eyes who said so without any cowardice.

They seem to be elders participating from the launch of the mercenary regiment, which is the predecessor of blue pride. When the mercenary regiments of multiple Blue Cat subjects were integrated and became one, did they treat them like counselors?

And he has led the slave trade in shadows, hiding the heads of historical regiments and their bellies.

It seems that Zephmates and others were raised by them to dare disgust the slave trade. Because it is easier to deceive the public eye to be a clean and white person, such as the captain of the regiment. That's why Zephmate grew up with a different personality than the rest of the Blue Cat clan, and her sister, raised to partition the back, grew up scumbag with an education similar to brainwashing.

It's something I would have noticed if injustice had been done in my own mercenary regiment, but I guess the elders were better at one or two than Zephmates. It was also pure, but therefore it was thought that he did nothing to doubt his companions.

"It's just a little too much. When I did it, it was easy for me to shake it."

Rigdis tells Senec to make even more of a fool of himself by sniffing his nose to make Zephmate look like a little fool.

"A tail drop would say."

"Don't say that!

"Tail drop?

About the guy with no tail.

Tails seem to be an important part of the long tailed species among the beasts. And losing that tail is a lot when you show your back and you run away, and without your tail, they say you fall off your tail and make fun of you?

You can recover with potion or healing magic immediately, but in severe cases, you will recover from your hands and feet, so if you lack the means to recover, your tail may not heal.

An old man named Senec certainly had no tail. I thought you were putting it in your pants, but they told me it was impossible for an Orc with a tail to hide his tail. I don't get it. You have a commitment.

Senec, who told the Beast King about his tail, is staring at Fran for some reason.

"If only you black cats hadn't... my tail...!

"Hmm?"

"Damn! Don't look down on me with that abominable little girl's face!

"Little girl?"

"That's right! You look just like the fucking kid who said Chiara took my tail or something. You!

"You know Chiara?

"Oh! She was a really annoying little girl!

From your resentment of Chiara, you seem to hate the Black Cats. If this guy raised me, I'd grow up looking down on the Black Cats.

"Well, you've been taken by the hand of the Beast King! You'd have had a shitty life being enslaved anyway! Ha ha ha! Sounds good to me!

Fran approached Fran frantically for a laughing senec. And put your hands on me.

"Fran, wait! It's no good killing this guy here!

You'll have information on other slave traders, and you might buy the wrath of the Beast Kings.

Fran, who managed to stop at my word, began to alternate beat Senec and Told in the face. Uh, maybe this is still a little too much? I tried to stop Fran where the shape of Grandfathers' faces had changed, but the Beast King was controlling Fran faster than I was.

"Well, wait, little girl. Hey, listen to one thing, is Chiara talking about Grandma Chiara from the Black Cats?
