My Wife the Empress is Becoming Frightening

Episode 6

“What is that? A magic tool?”

The watch Paris pulled out didn’t even look ordinary at first glance. Aside from looking expensive, a considerable amount of mana was detected.

I was looking at it thinking it was a self-defense item, but I just pressed the button on the watch.

“… … uh, why?”

With a look of incomprehensible despair on her face, Paris hit the button frantically. It’s not a self-defense item, but it looks like a giant like a communication device to call your subordinates.

“No one is coming. They are already dead.”

“Nonsense! What tricks did you play!”

“What is the trick? I just killed him for attacking him.”

“lie!”

I can’t help but believe it, but it was annoying to explain it one by one.

Yes, Diarose is one of the main sources of funding for Abrarum, so of course the organization itself must have been different.

Among the people I killed on the way earlier, there was a mix of former A-rankers and first-class criminals with a similar level of power to them.

To be honest, it was quite strong. If I did it wrong, my bladder would almost overflow.

“No, that is nonsense! What kind of ‘hero’ do you think you’re going to be!”

“I do something similar.”

That was the reason why he had to return home once a year, so it’s no lie. Of course, you won’t believe it if I tell you, so I don’t even have to explain it.

Even as he shouted at me, Paris’ eyes were rolling quickly. I think I can hear the squeezing of the head.

probably roughly.

‘The information itself that the empress chose him as a shield for the defense of the marriage and a sacrifice horse for the enemies was wrong. That guy was the empress’ hidden sword from the start. Even the prodigal life, which was only seen as a wealthy lame, was all aimed at himself or to distract those who would later target him. Other than that, this situation cannot be explained!’

… … You must be thinking something like that. Unfortunately, everything is wrong. Not to mention the front, and the back as well.

There was no need to be distracted, and there was no thought. I was just playing moderately while researching.

Abrarum was an organization that could not be easily touched even by Marianne in terms of size and power. It is even more so now that there are no available manpower due to the countless problems and rebellion that the ancestors had wrapped up.

That’s why I came. In order to help his wife, who is suffering from both hound work and double duty.

“good. I will surrender.”

Paris, who had come to her own conclusion, raised her hands and announced her intention to surrender.

It’s obvious what these guys think. If there is only life attached to it, there must be an infinite number of ways to escape.

In fact, not a small number of the imperial executives had Abrarum’s breath. If you use them, pickled with bribes and drugs, the imperial law will be just a decoration.

If the ledger and other documents and papers that this guy must have come into the world, the organization and Paris himself will suffer a considerable blow, but he must have thought that it would be better than dying and that he would live and take revenge on me.

Even backed away too much. If it had been right after I came to Jedo, I would have wondered if they were treating me like an idiot.

“Ouch?!”

I grabbed Paris by the neck and lifted him up. In an unexpected situation, Paris was looking at me with an expression of incomprehension.

Ask what’s in your eyes. To that question, I kindly answered.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t know anything complicated. All I can do is put the trash in the trash can. Smart kids will take care of separating water and recycling.”

“Cheer, kuck… sleep… … !”

-Duduk.

Faris, whose neck was broken by the slight exertion, died as it were. After roughly throwing away the dead Paris body, I looked back and said,

“come out.”

A figure of a person appeared in the darkness. Haria, who had taken off her hound-shaped mask, was looking at me with a very nervous face.

“Don’t be so scared. I didn’t call you to get angry. You said before that you knew about tailing.”

After Haria spoke in her usual tone so as not to be frightened, she picked up one of the cigarette packets lying on the desk of the dead Faris.

That’s good. The bad guys always pick the good ones.

I took out a cigarette, put it in my mouth and lit it.

“Oh, it’s a luxury item, too. It tastes very good.”

Unfortunately, there was only one left in the box. As I was rummaging around the desk to see if there was anything left, Haria asked with difficulty.

“… … Did you come to Diarose with this in mind from the beginning?”

“huh. It’s true that the hospitality was better than I thought, so I enjoyed it for a few more days.”

It’s a pity, but I think this was the last time at the beginning of the year.

As I was enjoying the scent of what I was biting while thinking about getting the same thing next time, Haria asked the question again with a face that still didn’t make sense.

“You definitely ate the teal miracle. But how could you be fine? Did you get the information and take the antidote beforehand?”

“No way. Do you think that I, who have just arrived in the original system, will have a means to extract inside information from the empire’s strongest criminal organization?”

Outside of the organization, I managed to gather information. Those who had a grudge against Abrarum were so numerous that their feet were trampled, and there was enough money to open their mouths.

However, it was unreasonable for any country to obtain inside information. I expected that he would use medicine to use me anyway, and it worked, so it didn’t matter in the end.

When I laughed at that explanation, Haria kept her mouth shut for a while. It’s pitiful for you to be like that, so as the captain, should I show you a little more kindness?

“And there’s no reason why the so-called blue-green miracle didn’t work. It’s just that I ate too much and developed a tolerance for it.”

“yes? What is that? Don’t talk nonsense. Do you know what the blue-green miracle is?”

you know well so that’s what you say

“Or are you making fun of me?”

“You’re not the type to be teased because it’s not fun to tease you. Anyway, what you call the blue-green miracle was originally used mainly by the elven assassins.”

I don’t know the exact name, but the medicine that Meyer Kingdom roughly calls ‘toad skin that lives in the hell swamp’ was one of the means used by the elven assassins.

One of their main tricks was to mix the powder into food served to the enemy in the name of surrender or building friendships between groups.

After that, all you have to do is slaughter the drugged enemy. It was a tactic that did not work well anymore because it was so common and well known to the soldiers of the Mayer Kingdom.

“At first, I also suffered once, but the effect did not last long. Still, I felt better, so I used to eat it whenever it happened, but it’s no longer effective because I ate too much.”

“Such nonsense… !”

It’s the first time I’ve seen Haria react so furiously. He seemed to have a rough idea of where the blue-green miracle was on the continent.

“By the way, this seems unknown, but there is a way to decipher it.”

“Is that true?!”

I really didn’t mean to do this, but if this is my help, it will be my help, and above all, it will benefit the Kingdom of Mayer, so it’s okay.

“I said that, but I’m a bit embarrassed to even call it an antidote. This is just a method used by the ancestors of the Meyer Kingdom, who were successful in fighting against other races.”

“So what is it!”

“All you have to do is make tea with the sunflower grass and drink it. It can be completely cured without any side effects, including symptoms of addiction as well as withdrawal symptoms.”

Hearing my explanation, Haria became embarrassed. Why are you doing that? Do you feel cheated because it is so simple?

However, Haria’s continued words made me realize that I was mistaken.

“Is that hard to find?”

“huh? Isn’t that also in the empire? It grows like a weed in the Mayer Kingdom… … Ah, so you used it because it was a drug?”

The sunrise plant was a truly common grass in the Kingdom of Mayer. Although it is common, it is definitely an herb, so you usually drink a decoction of it when you have a cold.

I also drank a lot when I was younger. mainly on the battlefield.

“then… .”

“Put a letter in Meyer Kingdom. “I will send you enough to feed all the people of the empire.”

It was a pity that I could not see the faces of my father and family in person to receive the letters. I’m sure you’d be very embarrassed.

When the explanation to Haria was over, there were people who came to visit. Like Haria, they were hounds wearing hunting dog masks.

Came sooner than expected

“this… .”

“how… … .”

“How did… … ?”

I didn’t want to die, but my men would have thought I was dead anyway. However, when he arrived, all the combatants had been slaughtered and even the manager was dead.

That’s bound to be embarrassing. Still, it was distasteful to explain the same thing twice.

“Listen to Haria for details. Because I need to take a shower.”

I walked past the hounds and suddenly remembered that there was something I had forgotten, so I looked back and told them.

“Did you see it? Don’t worry anymore because your captain won’t die.”

—

Isaac left for a real shower, and the eyes of the hounds, who were staring blankly at him, all turned to Haria.

In response, Haria sighed and said.

“I will go back to the headquarters to explain. First of all, let’s start by securing evidence of illegal organization activities here… … You can’t lose the merit the captain has made so far to the Jedo Guards, can you?”

None of the Hounds were so dull as not to notice that Haria’s title had changed. Also, since she said that she would go back to the headquarters and explain, there was no point in asking anyone.

Because of this, as soon as Haria finished speaking, the hounds began to move. Haria, who was organizing an explanation to give to such co-workers, turned her head and looked somewhere without realizing it.

This was the direction Isaac had disappeared. Even though it was already invisible, Haria blankly looked in that direction for a moment.

—

late night. The Empress of the Blata Empire, Marianne King Blata, was looking down at a report in her study.

I am not reading. Have you already read it once? Normally, she wouldn’t look back at a report she’d read once, but now, for some reason, she couldn’t take her eyes off it.

Reports from the Hound detailed what her husband had done.

It’s about how Isaac took down Diamond Rose, one of the biggest sources of funding for Abrarum, all at once.

The process itself was simple. There was an investigation of its own, but in the end it was destroyed by force.

It was certainly surprising that he did it with his own strength. whopping.

But what Marianne really cared about was something else.

The report from the Hound had, of course, Isaac’s signature on it. Haria wrote the report itself, but the final payment is Isaac’s role, so there’s nothing strange about it.

Not strange. no it’s weird

Marianne looked at one of Isaac’s brief notes about the reason for bringing down the Dialose.

“… … .”

There was only one word written on it, ‘My Father’.
