The World of Masks

Twitch!

Everyone except Jack and Callie, who were with Krafnaps, trembled in unison. Treason, the horror that those brutal and heavy words bring. This country is a nation of identity, the king is the culmination of all men, and must be loyal to the king. Since I was a child, the values ​ ​ that have entered my body can be safely expressed as brainwashing. Obviously, they understand what they are doing and are prepared for it, but their lustful guilt and fear that arises from unconscious denial in their world engulfs the whole body.

"Scared?"

Pow!

You grip your fist tightly enough to protrude from the bloodline and grind your teeth. The traveler must be making fun of you. The only evidence was that the lip area that was bringing out the unfortunate embarrassment was curled up to one side. Those former travelers were less polite, but at least they weren't the kind of bastards who were touching people's nerves like this.

"You have more manners than a scumbag who eats. Why don't you imprint on that rotten brain that I could kill you right here? Do you want me to open that bone pain and carve it with my pharynx?"

Jack shrugs.

"Don't worry. The Earl is not engraved clearly, but I know that I now hold the reins, and that you cannot kill me without my stupid head."

The warning does not work, but only a few times more insults are returned. Rather, the escorts who were next to me chatted more. It seemed very unpleasant that the person they were carrying was insulted.

'I want to cut my throat without hesitation, but · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·.'

No, that's not enough. Once I had disarmed them all, I wanted to torture them thoroughly until I took them to the underground torture chamber in the castle.

'But no.'

Planning was more important than pride. Thus, the wealth and power to come was more important. To do so, I had to make an important contribution to this treason. I hated that the human in front of me really wanted to tear it apart, but I had to put up with it for now.

"Yeah, let's say that. You asked me if I was going to stick to the plan. Of course I will. It's a precious opportunity for me."

You calm your excitement and recover your calm voice. The feverish eyes start to feel cold. Jack was slightly amazed at this. Although not all nobles can be a group of geniuses because of one bloodline, and often stupid and irredeemable garbage, the education from vast wealth has allowed the majority of noble children to be gifted. Earl Krafnaf was also a nobleman. Very worn and worn. Controlling the mind is the first thing to learn.

"Of course, you knew you couldn't get away with it?"

No, just knowing that they were going to start a rebellion in the first place, we had to eliminate them without knowing.

"I know enough."

"Then, why did you pour this on me after you found out?"

If he says no, he'll order the knights to cut off his arms and legs at once. I also had a gaze that I had anticipated. He hoped that the answers he wanted would make his difficulties as they were, and that the opportunity to torture the bastard himself because he could not answer them at all.

Jack smiles.

"The Earl's agreement with the Travelers was that, instead of the Travelers supplying firearms to your army, you would provide the Travellers with a territory as large as the Earl's once you became king. Is that correct?"

Krafnaf nods.

The trigger was a coincidence. When I heard that the weapons used by the travelers were strange and powerful, I confirmed if there was anything I could use. It was more than I expected that there would be such a weapon, and I came up when I was anti-Semitic mixed with the feeling that I wouldn't know if I was a traveler from another world. A weapon that shoots opponents from a distance. You don't need to be skilled for as long as a bow, and it's not something only a few talented people can learn, like magic. Literally a new weapon that would make it possible to slaughter a knight if you'd given me a weapon and trained me for a few days. I thought this was it. After all, I was a nobleman called the Earl and was in a position to speak to the Grand Duke somewhat. So I reported to the Grand Duke immediately. The result was a success. This new weapon was literally a gift from heaven to the Grand Duke who was still after the Hochtam throne. You are ordered to retrieve this new weapon immediately. After that, it was a thousand. I thought about robbing them, but it's no good messing with a traveler for no reason. They are God's people, so they feel bad about their conscience as faithful believers, and they can die and be resurrected at any time. If they miss or die before kidnapping, they become a problem. Moreover, according to this information, the boss is the only one who knows how to make and produce firearms. You can get everything if you catch this boss, but if you miss it, you'll be the hen chaser.

For these reasons, I chose to enter into agreements with the organization through negotiations. But that big, fantastic dream was shattered by the traveler in front of me.

Looking at Krafnaps staring at himself, Jack says calmly.

"The contract, I'll take over."

It was the sound of blessing bells coming down from heaven. At least that's what it really sounded like to Krafnaps. I expected it, but it could not take away the joy. Taking over the contract meant handing over the firearms to him. If that is the case, his progress will again be intact.

"Does that mean you've taken everything from the boss about firearms?"

"Of course."

At that moment, the conflict passed from Krafnaf's eyes. The tissue was literally tissue, but he was alone in front of us. No, there's only two of them, like the Wizard next to them. Should I take it? That's what I thought.

In a moment of silence, Jack's eyes narrow, as if he had realized Krafnaps' thoughts.

"I advise you not to think bad thoughts. We're doing all the safeguards."

"Oh, how?"

"If you're curious, you can turn a thought into an action."

That is, if you want to take it, take it. Krafnaf is troubled. When Jack saw that, he said again:

"What's there to think about? You weren't exactly intimate with those people in the first place. Just between each other, that's all. All you have to do is renew the contract with me. What are you hesitating about? If you sign with me again, all the rosy futures you've ever dreamed of will come true."

"· · · · · · · · Off."

I felt bad that he was being dragged away while he was in charge, but now was not the time for his pride.

"· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Good. I'll take your offer."

"Wise choice."

Jack smiles quietly and reaches out his hand. Krafnaps clasp and shake his hand. When the guards do something rash, Jack tries to kill himself, but he doesn't even flinch.

"Ah! And I have another proposition for you."

"Proposal?"

"Yes, an offer. It would be very helpful for you and the Duke as well."

He smiled like a crescent as if the devil was laughing.

"May I kill the king?"
