Chapter 96: Provocation
"Your Excellency. I followed your orders and won."
"Yeah, good work"
I really want to be more frank, but I can't do that because of the eyes around me
The people around me are glaring at me with terrible looks
It's a good thing I didn't say it out loud.
"Referee! This is an injustice! This man has cheated!"
Viscount Barbatt, right? He's the only one who complains.
"It's not cheating. It's a rule to tell the referee at the goal what was conveyed at the starting point, right?"
"So how did you know that in such a short time! Faster than a horse or a bird!"
"By using something faster than a horse or a bird, right?"
"There's no such thing! Money! You must have bribed the referee!"
I wouldn't do that. I'm not you guys.
"Viscount, you just don't know. There are things in this world that are faster than horses and birds and all living things."
"You think the barbarians in the countryside know more than we do!? Do you think we are fools!?"
"I am not mocking you. But, you are right that we are better than you."
"You!"
He swings his iron sword at me.
This man is unfit for politics.
To use violence with this level of provocation
The surrounding nobles and their subordinates rush to stop him
On the contrary, neither Wince, Sedona, nor any of my men move.
No wonder
"Wha!"
At this level, I can stop it with my bare hands
"Don't underestimate the barbarians, okay? How long do you think we've put our lives on the line?"
A slight grip on the wrist made the Viscount unable to move.
What should I do?
"Should I crush your wrist like this?"
"Hii! Let go!"
He said so, so I let go of him.
Just before the viscount was about to raise his arm, he fell on his back.
"Ah~h. You've got dirt all over your clean clothes."
"Y-y-youu!"
I waved lightly to Wince and the others
“Everyone, get ready to move out."
Get the idea.
“Well, don’t underestimate your opponent too much. Pride makes you careless, don't you know? Damn brat."
"Damn... brat!"
I'll provoke you with this
Oh, man, this guy is funny. He's so quick to act on his emotions.
“I'm a count, you're a viscount, and by the way, I'm in my 40s. You should know your place."
"Don't compare a countryside count from the central!"
"Magic Arrow"
I released magic near his face
"Violence is bad, right? But I was unharmed, so I didn't hurt you either. If I get hurt, I'll hit you this time. Understand?"
I turned my back and left as coolly as possible. Yeah, I hope I look cool.
"You bastard, remember! I will definitely kill you!"
"Don't do that, okay? If you cause trouble for the country, you'll be cut off from your family, you know?"
He's being cocky, but his voice is trembling.
It's a pity that I can't look behind
He could have possibly peed his pants.

"You've just stirred up a lot of trouble."
Wince reprimanded me in the carriage on the way home.
“Yes, I know I went too far. But what can I do, he's the one who's thinking of sleeping with you two."
Anyone who thinks about taking away my beloved wives should have his testicles removed.
I'm sure he would scream and writhe in agony like a pig, right?
"I can't say it strongly enough, since your acting out of concern for us."
"Yes......"
I'm forgiven.
"I think you should finish him off properly, don't you?"
Ah, you're reprimanding me due to that?
Don't kill
If we act like we're at fault, no one will help us.
I have to make sure that the other party is the first to set it up.
"Father, is everything going well for Quies?"
Sedona was worried about that one.
"I'm sure Quies is doing well. Don't worry."
And another immediate problem comes right behind
A man riding a running dragon reported
"Your Excellency! We're being followed!"
Far behind us, strangers are chasing us.
They're maintaining a reasonable distance
“Father, what do you think they want?”
“Maybe they want us to think that they've brought an army to the demi-human lands.”
"Would they go that far?"
If it was a nobleman's arbitrary decision, that would be fine.
"I hope it's not the order of the state. Maybe."
If Quies failed, we'd have to deal with that number.
“Worst case scenario, if Shiro-san casts your most powerful magic, they would vanish.”
"I don't think violence is good, Wince."
"I don't think Father is in a position to say that."
Yes, that's right
But I don't need to worry about that.
Ahead, one of the demi-human nations.
The werewolf nation of Ulfrica
Two flags were erected on its borders
Ulfrica's flag and Berdreich's flag
"Well, I'm glad that I seem to understand it better than the people in the central."
I don't care if people call us countryside.
I still like the far north
