Chapter 106

Inside the mansion of the Banfield Family, there stood the figures of Rinho and Fuuka in their maid uniforms.

The maid outfits prepared for them were of the cute variety, and they wore them while looking as if they had been forced to swallow a bitter bug.

As they were from the same school of swordsmanship, Liam had given them special treatment by having these uniforms custom-made for them.

The two felt unbearably mortified.

Even if they had to wear skirts, they preferred the cool-looking ones, yet the maid outfits that they were wearing were frilly and flowery, shaming them to no end.

Why do I have to wear these kinds of clothes?

Rinho really hated the situation.

Fuuka, on the other hand, was feeling embarrassed, and her usually bullish attitude was nowhere to be found.

A-as if Id look good in this outfit!

Serena, who had been appointed as their instructor, was present before their eyes.

Receiving education directly from Serena, the head maid, was a clear indication of favoritism.

Such a barbaric pair of children.

They had prior knowledge when it came to basic etiquette, but they were no good as maids.

They strongly viewed themselves as swordswomen, and their violent behaviors stood out.

Hearing Serenas evaluation, Rinho unleashed her aura as a swordswoman.

Hah? Are you getting carried away? My swords been taken away, but I can still kill an ugly woman like

A child was watching them from the shadows.

Fuuka noticed this and elbowed Rinho to shut her up.

Oof!The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

While Rinho tended to her elbowed waist, Fuuka pointed at the figure behind them in a hurry.

Ya idiot! Ellens watching!

In response, Rinho, still clutching her waist, pretended to laugh.

Ellen stared at them from the shadows.

Ill be telling Master about this.

Even as she smiled, Rinhos expression turned blue upon hearing Ellens words.

Ellen, this was but a trivial matter. Just not to Senior Brother.please spare us from Senior Brother!

It was partially Yasushis fault that they were so afraid of Liam.

He had always watched over them warmly and never yelled or beat them even when he was scolding them.

However, Liam was different.

He was extremely strict, and he never hesitated to pull out his sword when they misbehaved.

As they had attained a certain level of skill as swordswomen, he showed no mercy to his Junior Sisters.

If anyone in the mansion dared defy Liams orders, they would truly be forced to vomit blood.

Under Ellens scrutiny, the two feigned obedience in front of Serena.

Well be under your care, Head Maid!

Please go easy on us!

Seeing how energetic the girls were, Serena worried about the future.

Really, if it hadnt been for Lord Liams request, I wouldve refused to take care of you two.

Would I be able to educate them well?

Serena felt anxious.

In the underground basement of the Banfield Familys mansion, theres a space where only a select few are permitted to enter.

Its where the Black Ops headed by Kukuri resides.

Ive come to visit, and Im currently staring at whats inside a huge casket.

So thirty of you died.

Due to the rampage in the Capital, the Black Ops under Kukuri has lost around thirty personnel.

Im not feeling particularly disheartened though.

After all, we were able to shave off a considerable portion of the Black Ops moving under the instructions of the Empire and Calvin.

Kukuri who is standing next to me appears apologetic.

Please forgive them as their deaths were not in vain.

You state the obvious. They have died for my sake. Naturally, their deaths were meaningful ones.

The dead do not betray.

Nobody knows what theyll be like when they reincarnate, but it doesnt change the fact that they have laid down their lives for me.

They did not betray me until the very end, and for that, they deserve my respect.

Only the living can betray others.

Thats why I refuse to put my trust in humans.

Having said that, those that perished for my sake deserve respect.

I heard that the Black Ops will be conducting a funeral, so Ive carried myself here to send the dead on their way.

What will you do with the bodies?

Kukuri answers calmly.

Our bodies contain the secrets to our techniques, so we will be dissecting them, leaving nothing behind. Those that live on this side of the world are destined to disappear without a trace after their deaths.

What a sad reality.

I wanted to bury them in graves, but theyve refused even that.

Theyre really thorough with their work.

Kukuri, I shall give you a reward.

Pardon? Have we not already received one?

Im the type of person that gives preferential treatment to those around me.

Since I dont have to fret over financial problems, I can reward people with however much I want to.

Nevertheless, as an evil lord, I must be stingy.

I spend a lot on myself, but whether Im generous to others depends only on my mood.

Thus, I only bestow rewards upon those that have been of service to me.

Recently, however, a lot of good things have happened.

Tia has shielded me without regards for her own life, and Kukuri and his subordinates have put their lives on the line to fulfill my orders.

They have all risked their lives for me.

For their service, I dont mind rewarding them.

You guys have been of great help to me. Hence, I will be preparing a reward for you and your men. Is there anything that you would like?

Say anything!is something I would not say.

After all, I have no intention of entertaining unreasonable requests!

Kukuri and his subordinates seem confused for a while, but eventually

Then can we have a planet for our own use?

A planet?

We have lost our mother planet. If Lord Liam can be so kind as to bestow us with a planet that is in good condition, we would like to designate it as our new mother planet.

I check their list of conditions. There seems to be only one such planet within my territory that is suitable for them.

Some people are living on the planet, but they only number tens of millions.

Ah?

Suddenly, the spaceship shook.

W-what!?

An alarm warned Count Norden and his knights that intruders have come on board.

The sound of footsteps was heard, and the door to the room was quickly kicked down.

A woman wearing a purple power-suit entered.

The sword in her hands had saw-toothed blade, and it was rotating like a chainsaw.

It was a vicious weapon designed to maim people.

Found. You~

When the visor to her helmet opened, the helmet folded itself up and was stored away.

The woman whose face was now in the open looked ecstatic.

Behind her were some angry-looking knights.

Nordens knights tried to attack them with their weapons, but all of them were obliterated by the knights that entered.

Shocked, Nordens eyes shot open.

Meanwhile, Marie was thanking Thomas.

Thomas-dono, thank you for relying on me. You were right to call me instead of that minced-up woman. You have good eyes.

Marie, who had been assigned to protect Liams territory, had dragged along hundreds of battleships for this endeavor.

Thomas made a troubled face.

Hes all yours.

Maries hatchet-like weapon was making a high-pitched sound that was painful to listen to.

Norden! Your crime of betraying Lord Liam is a heavy one! Ill slowly teach you all your sins by carving them into your body. Dont worry. I have lots of medicine, so you wont be dying anytime soon.

There was a similar air surrounding the knights around her.

Death to the traitor!

Kill Lord Liams enemy!

Its showtiiiiiiime!

Norden looked over to Thomas for help, but the person in question was already about to leave the room.

He screamed as the knights pushed him to the ground.

SPARE MEEEEEEEE!

Marie grinned.

No. Way.

The United Kingdoms was in a dispute over who should take responsibility for the war that they had lost.

Oya? By that way, what happened to Norden?

Liam had been relaxing in his room and reading the news on his terminal with his back on the sofa.

He recalled the circumstances surrounding Norden when he came across an article about the United Kingdoms.

He decided to ask the question to Amagi, who was preparing drinks in the room.

I received a report saying that he had been disposed of by Thomas and Marie.

Liam yawned.

I was wondering where Marie had went. Turns out she was disposing of the traitor, huh? Its nice to know that shes working hard.

Noticing that Amagi had finished preparing tea and sweets, Liam got up to enjoy their smell.

The tea that Amagi brews has a nice scent.

Arent the leaves used the same as before?

The tea that you brew is different from others.

Is that how it is?

Was Liam talking about a very subtle difference?

When Amagi looked up at Liam, she remembered the events that transpired on that day.

(In the end, what kind of existence was that? He kept shouting Masters name until the end.)

The mysterious existence had appeared in the shape of a man, but he was definitely not human.

A lot of noise was detected in the image when she tried to look at him.

One thing was for certain: the existence was not friendly to humans.

(Is Master being targeted? If so)

Amagi was worried about Liam being targeted by an alien creature.

Liam, on the other hand, was as carefree as ever.

Hm? Wheres Brian? I dont think Ive seen him today.

Upon seeing how carefree Liam was, Amagi decided to just play along like usual.

That was the only thing that she could do.

He has a day off today. I heard him say that he will be going out to eat with his grandchildren.

Brians grandchildren, huh? Ill be paying for their meal. Its good to have him feel indebted in occasions like these.

Understood.

In the outer space, tiny limbs were growing out of the Guides tophat that was floating about.

A mouth appeared on the tophat as well, and it was grinding its teeth in regret.

Damn itDamn it

He was crying.

The Guide had not died yet.

I cant win.

He couldnt even get close to Liam.

The gratitude that Liam received from the people inside and outside his territory allowed him obtain a tremendous amount of power despite being human.

Even in his heyday, the Guide might not have been able to win.

That said, the Guide had not given up.

I wont give up on revenge. Ill definitely end Liams life!

Defeat Liam by any means available.

The Guide renewed his determination.

A dog was watching such a Guide.

It was dissatisfied by the fact that the Guide was still alive, but it disappeared to somewhere else, perhaps believing that it would be fine to leave him alone for now.

The Guide roared.

I admit defeat for today, but I shall definitely return. LIAAAAAAAAAAAAM

The Guide was drifting in space, heading to God knew where.
