Chapter 252
Minefield Sword Master
The Bankrupt General, Janine Clive.
As the youngest daughter of three sons and one daughter in a knight family, no one expected her to grow into a knight.
However, she began operating aura while watching the duels of her much older brothers.
At age 9, she defeated her own master; at 15, she defeated her eldest brother who had reached Sword Expert.
And at 20, she attained the realm of Sword Master, serving faithfully as King Hudret's subordinate for 12 years.

The term One Man Army was no exaggeration for the Fast Swordsman Janine Clive—she was also the ideal of swordsmen.
"Jed Swallowwww!!!"

That woman was now screaming a man's name in front of someone else's castle.
It was nothing short of horror.
Isabella, who had been watching the situation, hurriedly came out to greet Ferda.
"I pay my respects to the Regent-nim, and... Sir Jed has come as well."
Е́ ńü m̃ а́ . і d̃_
Disgust toward Jed flickered in Isabella's eyes.
"Haha, greetings, Administrator-nim. Today you're also remarkably intelligent and beauti—."
"Shut it. You say that even after seeing what you've done?"
"My apologies."

Jed quietly closed his mouth and made a repentant expression.
Ferda asked Isabella.

"The Bankrupt General should be famous, so why didn't you let her in?"
"Due to the Doppler Incident, anxiety about demons is heightened in this uneasy situation. The word came out that we must not carelessly admit outsiders, especially uninvited nobles, so we're conducting entry procedures thoroughly. And..."
"And?"
"Before the report even reached my ears, you'd already done something like that."
A look that said she didn't like it.
Janine's eyes were also incredibly displeased, but what was even more displeasing was Jed.

"We'll handle this here, so you go on back."
"Understood. Resolving this quickly will be good for your well-being, Sir Jed."
"Yep."
Jed climbed up the castle wall at those words.
However, seemingly unable to show his face, he hesitated several times before looking for his partner.
"Pepe. What does that woman's expression look like?"

"Check it yourself. Why make me do it?"
"The Bankrupt General is a tremendous beauty."

Like a dog hearing the dinner bell, he poked his head out drooling.
"She's not my type, but for a swordsman over 30, she looks incredibly young?"
"I said describe her expression, you crazy bitch."
"She looks like a tiger that's had about four nose hairs plucked out."

"We're screwed."
Jed covered his face.
Ferda looked down pathetically at Jed hesitating that much.
"Shouldn't you take responsibility?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"What responsibility are you talking about?"
"Seeing a Sword Master come all this way demanding responsibility, isn't it the price for playing with your lower half wrong? Having your first child be an illegitimate child isn't a pleasant thing."
Е n ũ.m а̊
"Hah? Wait a minute. Do I look like some idiot who goes around impregnating women without responsibility?"
"Isn't that you?"
"Ha, just how little do you think of me?"
Jed spoke with a face saying his pride was hurt.
It was absurd, but Ferda could tell he was that confident.
Master Thief, Jed Swallow.

Thanks to his handsome looks and spirited exploits, over hundreds of women had claimed to be his lovers.
And just as many women had claimed to be carrying Jed's child.
'All lies, though.'
What those lovers didn't know was that Jed was of the Red-Eyed Tribe.
Those of Red-Eyed Tribe lineage possess eyes that distort the flow of mana, but illegitimate children didn't have such abilities.
It was a truly mysterious thing.

He played with his lower half that much, yet not a single person got pregnant.
Anyway, if responsibility wasn't that kind, then what responsibility was the Bankrupt General, Janine Clive, claiming?

"That's not important."
Jed tried to worm his way out of that responsibility somehow.
"Let's do this."
Jed scratched the stone floor as he explained the operation outline.

"First, I'll go out and talk to her, get her all dazed and loopy. At that moment, Regent-nim binds her in one go with that secret shadow of yours! Then we can buy a few seconds, right? And Pepe, you charge in at once and erase that woman's memory. Perfect, right?"
"Wh-wh-wh-what!? You want me to grab that crazy woman's head?"
"Regent-nim will hold her down good. You will, right?"
"Don't just casually include me like it's obvious."

He really was an absurd bastard.
"And you think a Sword Master like that would easily fall for a third-rate demon's memory wipe? The Bankrupt General has fought mages dozens of times."

"What! Are you saying my magic is trash!? You're looking down on me!?"
"Then you gonna jump in?"
"I'm a trashy third-rate demon. I bare my crown to Regent-nim's great judgment, woof woof!"
Wanting to play it safe, Penelope clung to Ferda.
"Then... I guess we seduce that witch and somehow—."
"Jed Swallowww!!"

First, I need to stop that eardrum-bursting howling.
Ferda leaned against the castle wall and showed himself.
"Sir Clive. A request—could you stop with the shouting now?"
When Ferda asked politely, Janine placed a hand on her chest and gave a polite greeting.
"I pay my respects to the Regent of the Valdrova Grand Duchy! Regent Ferda! I am Janine Clive, a knight of the Hudret Kingdom! Please forgive the discourtesy of setting foot in another's territory!"
The volume of her voice had certainly decreased from when she was shouting, but it pierced right into Ferda's ears.
Е̄n̄ ǔ mа
From her tone, one could gauge how high a realm she had reached.
"There was a clash with the sentries who said they couldn't admit outsiders carelessly. I respect the relationship between the Hudret Kingdom and the Far East, and I wish to resolve this matter amicably!"

"What wrong could you have done? Bankrupt General, I'm certain you're not at fault."
Ferda looked down at Jed.
Cold contempt flickered in his eyes.
"Jed Swallow! I know you're there! Show yourself at once! If you're a knight, face me like a knight!"
E ñ u ḿ a. і̀ d
Jed tried to sneak away.
No way.
Ferda waved his fingers, binding Jed's feet with shadow and wrapping his whole body.
Jed made a bewildered expression at his stiffened body.

Ferda forced him to stand up without giving him a chance to respond.
Then a surprising thing happened.
È nů ṁ а̇ ._і̂_d
The moment his face was visible, Janine's attitude flipped completely.
The face that looked like she'd die was gone, replaced by a sleazy swallow bird.
"Did you call for me, Janine?"
"Jed...!"
It wasn't just Jed who changed.
The moment she saw Jed's face, the anger on her face melted away smoothly, turning into a face dripping with honey.

Jed made a wistful expression and spoke to her.
"Janine, I'm sorry... I couldn't face you, so I kept hesitating. Will you forgive me?"
"I, I understand. I want to see you up close, so can you come down here and talk?"
"That might be difficult."
"Why...?"
"I'm also a knight, am I not? I belong to Regent Ferda, and the Regent-nim is currently in very poor condition. It's dangerous for you if I'm not by your side."
Е n̂ u m̊ a
Ferda thought.
Should I just throw this bastard away?
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"So please accept talking here."
"Okay, got it."
She nodded as if that absurd demand was fine.
"Why didn't you reply to my letters?"
W êbn̊о̃v̆ ē ĺ Е̌nŭm̈а
"Letters... you say?"
"Yeah. Didn't I send letters to you consistently? Why didn't you reply right away?"
Jed answered with a face trying to hide his dumbfoundedness.
"Janine... a letter takes at least three days to arrive even if sent."

"Why not hire an Express Messenger? I sent Express Messengers every single day, so why didn't you send them to me!?"
Express Messengers were the fastest couriers, charging over 50 times the fee of regular post.
Е_n̈um а̂.. іd
For Jed who saved money like his life depended on it, there was no way he'd use them, and Ferda didn't use them either unless absolutely necessary.
Above all, it had only been a week since they parted.
"Did you not want to see me that badly?"
"That's not it."
"Don't lie! Didn't you say you'd become my pillar!?"
Janine was enraged, and Ferda glanced at Jed with his eyes.

> Asking what the hell that was about.
"Well, that is..."

-You're truly vigorous. You're on a different level from men who just spout lip service.
-What are you talking about? Don't you feel this final flame trying not to miss the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
-What once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

-I wanted to have the name of not a man who embraced the Bankrupt General, but a man who satisfied her.
-Hmph, you speak teasing words well. If you weren't decent-looking, your head would've already flown.

-I'm honored you say that. I didn't know the Sword Master who governs discipline so strictly had such a maidenly side.
-Wh-what nonsense? Maidenly? Don't mock me with such words!
-It's fine. You can show me anytime. For this moment, I'll become your pillar.
-Hmph, I don't believe it. Men's lip service. If you truly love me, come at me with full power again.

"That's how it happened."
"......."
"No, you said you don't believe it, so why'd you believe it?! Isn't that right?"

"No need to convince me."
Ferda gestured downward with his eyes, indicating the target to convince.

With each moment the conversation failed to continue, Janine's face colored with anxiety.
"My love, no, Janine, no no, Sir Clive."
Jed drew a line.
"The events of that night were deeply meaningful to both of us. However, wasn't it you, Sir Clive, who proposed we end it as a one-night fling? I respected that intention as well."
"Didn't you say you wanted me!? Was that a lie?!"
"That's not it, my love. No, Sir Clive!"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Ugh, this mouth!
The swallow's instinct reflexively tried to grab his ankle.
Janine's face filled more and more with madness and malice.
"Look! You also say you love me!? How long will you deceive yourself? How long will you toy with this maiden's heart, Jed Swallow?!"
"Puhahat! 32 years old and calling herself a maiden. Guess she has no conscience."
Penelope's voice rang out strangely loud, and silence fell.
Е̌n̂ um̄а . і́_d̂
> Two mouths that brought ruin.
It's freezing.

Felt like this whole castle would blow away at any moment.
Looking down at Janine's face, her face was bright red as she screamed.
"Which bitch is it!? Which bitch dares to insult a knight of the Hudret King!?"
"Sir Clive! The name of that rude guy who just shouted is Penelope! If the knight's anger subsides even a little, I'll gladly throw this damn bitch to you!"
Ēñ_u ḿа̀ .іd́
"Aaaaaah! What are you doing?! You crazy bastard! Let go! Let go! Kyaaaaak!!"
Penelope flailing like a pig being dragged to a slaughterhouse.
Ferda didn't care, he just wanted this situation to end quickly.
"I heard something happened but... just what on earth is going on?"

The one appearing amid the chaos was Garnet.
She climbed up the castle wall, took a quick look, and nodded.

"Understood."
"Really?"
"In short, it's Sir Jed's lower half that's the problem, isn't it?"
Correct answer.
As expected of the Black Bandana Leader's information processing ability.
Garnet looked at Jed like he was a bug.

"Well, that was an intelligence operation—."
"Shut your trap."
At Garnet's words, Jed closed his mouth.
Garnet let out a long sigh and bowed her head to Ferda.
"I'll handle Sir Jed's matter, so please set aside any anger you may have."
"It was bound to happen eventually, what's there to be angry about?"
Еn ũ m.а̌ .ì d̂
There's nothing more foolish than getting angry at something that'll happen eventually.
"I'm just grateful for your understanding."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"But how do you plan to resolve it?"
"I'll go down and try talking. It seems like it'll end well if we talk nicely with the Bankrupt General."
Will it really go well?
Ferda was worried too, but Garnet was the only one he could fully trust.
Е́n̄úm̆а
Garnet, now an envoy, went out the castle gate and started talking with Janine.
It looked like she was going to touch a wild tiger barehanded, so no one could relax.
"Garnet-unni, isn't she gonna die like that?"
It's an unlucky thing to say, but Ferda was worried inside too.

The talk continued for about 10 minutes.
Just when it seemed like it'd wrap up, a surprising thing happened.

Janine hugged Garnet.
Then she quietly wiped away tears and looked up at the castle wall.
"Regent Ferda! I'll be on my way now. Please forgive the disturbance I caused in your territory."
What could Ferda do if he didn't forgive? He raised his hand to signal it was fine.
Janine's polite tone twisted viciously as she cursed Jed.
"You trash-like idiot bastard! Don't live like that!"

Janine flipped Jed the middle finger and turned her horse around.
The moment an unavoidable catastrophe ended with three inches of tongue.
Garnet returned with a tired face and said this.
"There won't be any more friction with the Bankrupt General."
Her face seemed to radiate a halo like a savior.
