There Are Many Possessors in This Romance Fantasy

27. Count Erabasta

I had a dream. Somewhere familiar scenery and strangers on their way to work. Around the time when I feel bored with my daily life that is repeated every day. A strange story came out in the news. The story of a shooting star that fell in the middle of the day.

When the shooting star was setting, it fell somewhere in the world, showing off a suddenly darkened sky and brilliance that could be seen anywhere in the world. People tried to find the shooting star that caused the unusual phenomenon, but there was no trace of it anywhere.

In the end, the falling stars ended up fizzing out as a result of burning them all. The special news that heated up the world for a while was forgotten in people’s memories as the years passed, as always.

And within a few months, a special game that captivated the world was released.

And soon after, another unusual thing happened to the world, but it was buried in indifference.

People were cruelly interested in things other than their own, then forgot about them or were indifferent.

Even when people who got out of the game went back to their daily lives, the incidents were forgotten without being re-examined.

A single person left alone in the world fell ill and died in the midst of people’s indifference.

No matter how much he shouted, no matter how much he tried to get attention, people ignored him, as if he were a person without him. There were people who looked at him from time to time, but after a while, as if he had forgotten, he stopped looking for him.

I live among the crowds in the world, but I was lonely more than anyone else. He was lonely and miserable.

I hated the people who left me behind and disappeared in vain. After making such a promise, why did you leave me alone?

The man dying in solitude moved his parched lips and made a sound. Every time he moved, his lips were torn and blood flowed and he felt pain, but he didn’t care.

I’m more afraid of being quiet.

Loneliness hurts more.

I hate loneliness.

What is this empty space?

Those words and thoughts he repeated to himself were eating away at him. He also looked creepy like a living doll. Is he that or is he a dying man.

Then a brilliant light shone in front of his eyes. He was neither a vision nor a hallucination as he died. The light, intense enough to sting his eyes, became brighter and brighter as if enveloping the man.

After the light disappeared, the corpse-like man disappeared leaving behind traces of where he had been lying.

Returning to the mansion, Froden quietly packed up his people. The information guild he created while living up to now. The 4 knights made completely of their own people. And Uni, smiling and clinging to the side.

“Young master has a good stomach. To think that a man who used to be a man acted like a fox like that, but he didn’t throw it away and let it go.”

“Speak straight. It’s not that you don’t throw it away, it’s that you can’t.”

With platinum blonde hair. A combination of colors that seems to argue that if a noblewoman in a novel is a lady, she would look like this. In terms of appearance, in this empire, at most Tina has such perfect features that she can be compared.

Eline Mayrill. Originally, the female protagonist of the game that was the foundation of this world. She is the owner of the destiny to have it all in the world.

And another possessor.

“I’m glad you’re sincere in preventing destruction, but what does that have to do with wiping out Count Erabasta?”

“It’s a personal anger. I don’t think I’ll be able to do anything else if I don’t let go of this anger and resentment.”

Suddenly, he took off Uni, who was rubbing his chest, and Proden leaned on the sofa. Without a change in expression, she lightly blocked Uni with one hand and looked at Elin.

“So if I want to find Tina, and she wants to kill those dog witches. Help me with my work.”

In fact, Froden himself was more nervous than anyone else. He wanted to wander all over the continent to find Tina right away, but first he wanted to achieve trivial revenge by destroying the Erabasta family. That way, when I find Tina, I can keep her by my side, not at home.

“They break into Count Erabasta’s family and kill only the immediate family. Because they are the main culprits who suppressed and trampled on Tina’s life.”

“I’ve known since the last time he choked me, but he’s a real piece of trash. He’s always so sweet to her fiancée.”

“It’s okay to strangle me. If that makes Gongja-nim excited.”

“If you visit with Mayril Maker’s new product, your guard will be drawn there. First of all, tie up the Countess. The informants who have infiltrated the Countess will take care of the surroundings, so you only take care of the Countess.”

Only then did Elin realize that this bastard had urged her to create a new product while she was busy. Seriously, he eats people too hard.

“Uni, you draw a magic circle around you to prevent anyone from approaching the Count’s house.”

“Does it have to be maintained even after the work is over?”

“At least until I reach the borders of the empire.”

“If you give me a lot of Gongja’s genes, it might be possible.”

Froden ordered that and looked back at Hadun this time. He is one of the few people of his own who always moves competently and firmly supports his back.

“Hadun, you concentrate all of the information guild’s manpower on collecting information related to witches. You will have to work hard while moving yourself.”

“I will do as you command, Master.”

Beside him was the captain of the knights standing stiffly with a stiff face. It was not a stiff face from nervousness, but the appearance of a faithfully trained dog that would go to war if given a command. A faithful dog whose usual appearance is nowhere to be found.

“When the captain is all organized, deal with the knights escorting the countess. The captain of the escort knights is said to be more skilled than you think, so be careful.”

“I will follow your orders.”

The operation went well. Concentrate the escort forces on the wife by using Count Erabasta, who cherishes the countess. In the meantime, he exterminates his family and kills the Countess. It was a simple operation.

“But can you easily kill a wife with such a concentration of troops? I don’t know what’s different from just attacking.”

“Because the Count himself is one of the most skilled in the Empire. With knights who have teamed up while training and subjugating as usual, it will be difficult for us alone to overthrow the Count.”

“I thought it was just an ignorant strategy, but you’ve thought about it.”

As I silently glared at the way she spoke to scratch her temper, Elin shut her mouth tightly and stepped back from her. One of her qualities is dirty.

“You must have made an appointment to visit?”

“Don’t worry, I’m going to visit you tomorrow.”

“Then, move the people who can move first, then the knights and I wait and move secretly along the top.”

After each of them scattered for their work, the only people left in the room were Yuni and herself.

“Gongja-nim, I missed an order that you have to give me.”

“Please do what you ask me to do.”

“Yes. I understand. Instead, you should give me your genes when you’re done.”

His head throbs with a headache. I keep hearing that crazy sound, but why can’t I get used to it? It’s like a real mystery.

-Hwarreuk

The bright red flame was swallowing everything. The beautiful garden the countess said she liked, and the cursed mansion where Tina had lived her entire life in solitude. On the other hand, all the magnolia flowers planted for peace of mind.

The family of Count Erabasta was engulfing and swaying as if the flame were alive and moving.

I could feel the heat that would burn my skin just by approaching it as it spewed out black smoke. The beautiful count’s mansion collapsed as the timbers that could not withstand the force of being burned by the fire collapsed.

At the unexpected and absurd conclusion, Froden just stared at the red mansion in dismay. His mouth didn’t come off at all. The anger she had been suppressing all along pounded her chest and was preparing to erupt.

“What the hell just happened.”

In a place where the flames couldn’t reach, Yuni lay covered in blood. She ran right away and forced her to wake up. She wanted to ask what had happened.

“The countess was a witch.”

The stories I’ve heard and experienced so far were so shocking that I thought I wouldn’t be surprised anymore. I thought there could be nothing more surprising than that.

“So?”

Her mouth was forced open. Perhaps because she was eating at the inside of her anger, a weak voice like scraping iron came out. His voice sounded like his vocal cords were dry because he hadn’t drank water.

A member of the Information Guild, who was waiting behind Froden, knelt down and replied.

“This morning, he suddenly poured a curse on the spot where the wizard was and made fire and covered the mansion in an instant.”

“The count family members.”

“I was surprised and slaughtered all the people who came out.”

“The Count? Tina’s brother?”

“Yes. I killed everyone without exception and disappeared in an instant.”

Froden thrust a knife into the guild member’s throat with her eyes deadened by emotion.

“I’m sorry, Young master. It happened so quickly that I couldn’t report it.”

Despite the guild member’s words, Froden did not put away his sword. Elin, who had been silent in a serious atmosphere, stood next to Froden.

“This person didn’t do anything wrong, so why don’t you forgive me? This isn’t urgent right now.”

“Obviously the countess said she slaughtered them all.”

“Yes, I’m sure. Isn’t this person alive because of Uni’s protection? Just looking at his bloody figure shows his perfect size… Kyaaak! What are you doing!”

The severed neck muscles wriggled and spewed blood like a fountain. Covered in a torrent of fishy blood that gushed out like an explosion, Elin screamed at her.

“Uni was cursed at first and fell down, and there was no one to protect her. But how could this guild member be alive?”

Elin, who was closing her eyes to stop the blood from getting into her eyes, looked at Froden in surprise. She heard and looked and she did. It was so natural and obvious that I didn’t even think about it.

“She must have been controlled by a witch. Perhaps if you had been by her side, not me, she would have been stabbed to death.”

Losing her head, her corpse spurted blood and then collapsed helplessly. At the same time, a metal sound was heard and the small dagger hidden in her arms fell.

“You knew everything, Countess. It was your fault that Tina suddenly got sick.”

A sudden serious illness that even a priest could not discern. Also prepared a witch who doesn’t even know how to contact her. If the Countess is a witch and has been in charge of all her affairs, the story naturally follows.

“I have one more purpose. I must find the whereabouts of the Countess.”

If it wasn’t just her illness that drove her into her solitude, it was on purpose. If he had done such a terrible thing on purpose when he was trying to get her happiness back. If she’s the one who made her Tina’s life her gutter and her life in despair.

I will kill the countess by any means necessary.
