I Fell into the Game with Instant Kill

Chapter 25.2: Tair Bamon (2) Bonus chapter! Thank you to LKMKACHA for the donation! ^^

The Canes family was a family with a long history in the Fifth Lord’s territory, holding the post of mayor of Wilpeck for the ninth generation.

Colton Canes, the mayor, was having a little late dinner with a distinguished guest who had visited the mansion after a long absence.

“So, there are rumors that the Seventh Lord who was crowned this time immediately crushed one of the merchant corps…”

When Colton hinted, the middle-aged guest nodded and said;

“It looks like the owner of the workshop the merchant group was trying to control had something to do with the Lord. I don’t know the details. Whatever it was, the Lord completely captured the merchant group.”

“…That’s worrisome. What kind of person do you think the Seventh Lord is? I’ve heard that you’re an outsider.”

“How can I know that I’m just an administrator? I know nothing more than you.”

He was Laika, an administrator belonging to the Seventh Lord’s castle, who stopped by here for a while on business.

Also, as you can see, he was also a close friend that a personal acquaintance with Mayor Colton.

“He did nothing other than what he did to the merchant corps. From what I heard, he was looking at a map all day until I left the castle.”

“Huh? A map, why…”

“The atmosphere on the side of Santea and the neutral countries has been unusual lately, so it may have something to do with it. I’m already saying too much by mentioning this, so don’t ask too much.”

Even if they were the only ones here, they still couldn’t talk lightly about a Lord.

The two soon turned to other topics.

Then there was a commotion at the entrance of the dining room.

Colton tilted his head at the sight of his daughter strutting into the dining room.

“You came back early, my dear. You said you would visit the night market, but the sun hasn’t even set yet.”

His youngest daughter, who was born to his late wife, was a precious treasure to him.

Her daughter, Denbri, greeted Laika first.

“I’m sorry for interrupting your meal.”

Laika nodded his head. He was a little offended, to be honest, but it was okay because he knew Colton cared so much for his youngest daughter.

She said to Colton.

“Do you know what insult I just went through out there, Father?”

“…?”

“A lowly person who doesn’t even know the subject dared to tell me I was vulgar! This idiot couldn’t even pull out his sword and just watched!”

Colton hardened his expression and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

Laika also paid attention to the story with an excited expression on his face.

It was a fact that no one in the city did not know that Lady Denbri was an unreasonable scumbag. But did she come back after being humiliated by someone?

“Tell me what happened.”

To that, Denbri explained what had happened at the restaurant.

The employee who spilled a drink on her dress, the escort knight, intervening while she was educating the employee, and even the verbal abuse from the knight’s owner.

As her explanation continued, Laika looked at her with a slightly bewildered eyes.

It dumbfounded him. She would so proudly say that she had committed such atrocious violence for such a small thing.

Colton’s expression was more serious.

What mattered to him was the insult she suffered, not her behavior.

“Do you know who that bastard is?”

“I don’t know. He must be from a filthy family.”

“Hmm…”

“I’m so humiliated that I’m going to die, Father. I can’t live without him beating his head to the floor and apologising.”

Colton asked Gerold, the escort knight, standing next to her.

“How was that knight’s skill? Be honest.”

“…She was much stronger than me. I’m sorry.”

He bowed his head as if he was sorry.

Colton sighed and stroked his chin.

Gerold was a knight with sufficiently excellent skills. That’s why he was given as an escort for his youngest daughter.

If the man involved was being escorted by a much better knight than him, he would, of course, not be an ordinary person.

Maybe not nobles from neighboring family, but nobles from another Lord’s territory or some distant city?

“Okay. Wait.”

Denbri’s expression brightened at Colton’s words.

He didn’t know which family he came from, but at least in this city, Colton was like a king.

But did that man dare to insult her daughter and even order her to be cut down?

“What are you thinking?”

“Whatever it may be, I have to bring that man here.”

Colton gave a simple answer to Laika’s question.

He was thinking of bringing them to the mansion and seeing his face to find out which family he belonged to.

And if it’s someone who belonged to a high family, he would suggest to solve things gently, otherwise I would make him pay for his actions.

“How do they look?”

“The man had black hair and the escort knight was a white-haired woman.”

Colton immediately called the knights and ordered them to find the two people and bring them to him.

Meanwhile, Laika, who was listening from the side, tilted his head.

A black-haired man and a white-haired female knight? Why was that…

What nonsense am I thinking?

Immediately dismissing it as an absurd imagination, he burst out laughing. I thought it was a pretty strange coincidence.

It made little sense. Why would the Seventh Lord, who should be in his territory, suddenly be here in the Fifth Lord’s territory?

In any case, Laika thought he had a pretty interesting spectacle to watch, and waited for the knights to come and bring the fearless ones.
