Swordmaster’s Youngest Son - Chapter 244
Episode 244 Episode
77. Villain (1)
Last night.
“Rani, you must cut me.”
As soon as Jin brought the survivors back to the Holy Land, Vitura had said so.
While Jin was away, he had finished his thoughts on driving out intruders and traitors in the fastest and most complete way in the future.
No, it should be called a decision, not a worry.
“Lord Bitura, what do you mean suddenly?”
“Gongja Qin brought witnesses and brought evidence. Besides, now more eyes are watching the land than ever before due to Advent. It is an opportunity that will never come again. We need a villain to die with to bring them to an end.”
“Are you kidding…?”
Rani asked in a trembling voice, and Bitura shook her head.
“No, I have already made my decision.”
“Why the hell should I do that? There are witnesses that no one can deny, and there is evidence that the saint of the Dawn Carriage Society recorded as he died a martyr in agony. It’s enough that Sir Bitura doesn’t have to be involved with them…”
“That’s a dream-like story, Rani Salome. Do you really believe that it will be possible to regain the country against the giant family that controls the world?”
“Why not! Whether it’s Zipple or Kinzelo, no matter how great they are. How can they deny the survivors’ faces revealed to the world? Besides, according to Gongja Jin’s words, it’s at least because of Gongja’s knife….” “
Of course, it would be possible to put them into trouble just with Gongja Jin’s help. But what next? They will appoint a few people in charge and eat this land again.”
“Even so, you cannot turn Lord Bitura into a traitor! It is nonsense!”
In the silence for a moment, Rani’s anxious breathing stood out.
“Lani Salome. What do you think the holy kingdom needs right now?”
Lani can’t answer.
“He is a leader. We need a symbol of hope that will make us believe that the kingdom is not over. It is time for a leader to appear who can punish the traitors in front of everyone and shout that the only owners of the kingdom are the children of Ayula.”
“Are you telling me to… play that role?”
“okay.”
“Ha, I know what you mean. In that case, Lord Bitura would rather kill me as a traitor and become the leader.”
“rani.”
“To be honest, I didn’t do anything compared to you, did I? She was only loved by the subjects because she was the daughter of the King. By what qualification do you mean to be the leader of the subjects? I don’t even have that ability.”
“…That friend, Miklan, was originally brought here to raise you as a saint.”
“My father never said anything like that.”
“I can swear by the name of Ayula. Michlan received a revelation from Ayula that you will become a holy king.”
“That’s suddenly nothing…”
“Look at this.”
Bitura pulled out a notebook from her bosom.
It was Michlan’s diary. In the middle of the diary, which contained only personal daily life and religious considerations without any mention of state affairs, an anecdote about the revelation of Rani and Ayula was written.
“under.”
There was no way Lani could not recognize Michlan’s handwriting.
“So, if you don’t understand, accept it as Ayula’s will. Aren’t you a child who follows Ayula’s words more than anyone else?”
“Even if God chose me… this is not it. Not really.”
“I’ve been known as a representative Zipline group for a long time, and I’ve actually pretended to be their minion for a long time. Let me know that Ayula’s Volcano is alive and well by killing me.”
“There must be some other way. Lord Bitura.”
It was more difficult for Rani to accept it because she secretly hated Vitura for a long time before the king was kidnapped.
To her, Bitura was not a loyalist, but the first person to become Ziffle’s pawn, her father’s biggest enemy, and a hindrance to the kingdom.
However, the real Bitura had a deep friendship with Miklan more than anyone else, and was a loyalist among loyalists who always pretended to be a villain and kept an eye on internal and external enemies.
Even if you apologize for the rest of your life and repay the kindness, you will be left alone to carry such a heavy burden as a villain until the end. It was a tough job for Rani.
“I don’t have myself Sir Bitura…”
“No you can. You are the one who thinks rationally. In fact, you know that you can’t get better than this, right? Even Gongja Jin, who had no special relationship with us, fought a great fight for the sake of the kingdom. Cutting me is not difficult compared to him.”
“No one but us will recognize your sacrifice! Rather, they will point fingers at you and insult you. Your name will go down in history as a terrible traitor…!”
“Did He ask for reward in doing good? Did He ask for recognition in keeping faith? Did He ask for calculation in deciding to sacrifice? Ayula and the great saints never left such teachings.”
“but.”
“Lani Salome! Don’t be like a child. don’t disappoint me anymore Be patient like me. Are you afraid of the pain of your private heart and will dishonor my determination?”
Eventually, Rani sat down and burst into tears. With a maddening heart, I clutched my chest, banged my head on the floor, and screamed.
At that time, Jin and Murakan saw Ilsun Rani’s body shining brightly. The light was so short that it felt like an optical illusion.
After stroking her back for a moment, Bitura turns her gaze to Jin.
Jin and Murakan had been silently listening to the two of them.
And I was thinking I wonder if there is a better solution than what Vitura suggested.
If anything came to mind, I would have said it. Unfortunately, Bitura’s sacrifice was undoubtedly the most powerful means to stabilize the kingdom.
one called a foreigner.
Naturally, Jin also felt that Bitura’s sacrifice was unfair. If you think about your personal life, it would be much more comfortable to expose the corruption and defect to Hufestor or properly ally with Ziple.
However, it would be a great disrespect to comment on this steely man’s decision.
“Confucius Qin.”
“Yes Sir Bitura.”
“I owe you a huge debt that is hard to repay. I will not forget your hard work for the sake of the kingdom, even after I die.”
“Unlike the case, it started after receiving a promise to receive a reward later.”
“Even so, it was not easy.”
“Sir Bitura.”
“Tell me.”
“I will take responsibility and take action so that Sir Cha Hu’s family can live quietly in Hufester.”
If Bitura’s plan worked, Rani would not be able to take care of his family. It was impossible for the King Seong to take care of the traitor’s family.
Also, Bitura’s family would never be able to survive without someone’s help.
Will Zipple, who has seen a great disappointment, save them?
The subjects of the holy kingdom will realize Ayula’s mercy and will not throw stones at them, but they will not step forward to protect the family of the traitor.
“…I brought it up to say thank you. You are in debt again.”
“As a soldier in the Garden of Swords, please consider it as an expression of respect for your senior soldier.”

“What are these ugly heretics talking about? Doctrine Defense Dawning Society! Get them out now!”
Vitura shouted in an angry voice.
In response to his fierce reaction, the square sank into a frightening silence.
Everyone feels that something is wrong. Ten subjects with obvious traces of biological experimentation, the general commander of the Holy Knights who hurriedly shouted at them as heresy, and the expression of the fake king who was shocked.
All of that was causing a sharp sense of alienation among people.
Chuck Chuck Chuck!
The Paladins of the Doctrine Protection Dawn Society who were by Bitura’s side quickly organized a lineup.
The crowd was naturally blocking Bitura and the Paladins of the Dawning Guardian Doctrine. The Paladins pushed them roughly and proceeded.
“your majesty! They are all heretical. Get away from them! What are you guys from the Golden Shield doing? Without taking those heretics away from You!”
The Golden Shield did not budge even at Bitura’s command and continued to surround the carriage.
While the fake king could not hide his embarrassment, Rani looked at Bitura and screamed.
“How can the commander-in-chief declare that they are heretics! And to think so recklessly draws out the sword before His Majesty even gives an order. Back off!”
None of the people standing in the square were unaware of the political confrontation between King Seong and Bitura.
Unsurprisingly, in their eyes, Bitura’s appearance was that of Ziffle’s dog, who used his anger to fix an accident.
“I am the Commander-in-Chief of the Paladins. I have full authority over heresy judgment. If you have eyes, see Rani Salome. Do those hideous faces look like normal human beings? They must have been in liaison with the demons!”
“That is a matter for Your Majesty to judge! Please order Your Majesty Lord Bitura to step down.”
The fake king only transformed with the help of Boubard, but he had no idea how to deal with it because he was a Zipple person, not Kingelo.
“Your Majesty, I have told you several times that they are heretics. You must subdue them and continue the consecration ceremony before the prestige of the Holy Kingdom declines further.”
“If you talk any more, I will consider you a heretic too, Salome. Get out of the way everyone! Clear the way!”
Let Bitura and the Doctrine Guardian Dawn Paladins get closer to the subjects.
The Golden Shield paladins blocked their way with their swords.
“Don’t come any closer, Lord Bitura.”
“You guys…! You guys are my direct subordinates, so you dare to stand in my way?”
direct.
Thirty knights of the Golden Shield who did not lose their integrity until the end, unlike those who beheaded Jin when Bitura met Jin.
They were aiming their swords at Bitura with tongue-in-cheek feelings.
“Even taking out a weapon without His Majesty’s order constitutes treason. Commander-in-Chief, hide your sword immediately.”
visor!
Vitura ferociously thrust her sword at the Paladins of the Golden Shield.
At the same time, when the knights of the Dawning Society for the Defense of Doctrine began to attack, blood was splattered everywhere.
Bitura charged at the survivors like a man possessed by a demon. As if if only they killed them, today’s situation could be resolved later.
Bitura and fifty Paladins of the Dawn Guard of Doctrine, and Rani and thirty Golden Shields.
The battle was completely melee, but Bitura was showing a force worthy of the name of a commander-in-chief.
He was pushing the Paladins of the Golden Shield by force and narrowing the distance with the survivors.
“I will cut the throats of these heretics!”
As Bitura got closer, the ten survivors clung to the fake saint king.
It was, of course, something that had been discussed beforehand. Within seconds, all the survivors screamed and surrounded the fake saint king, and Lani stood in their way.
Of course, the first to arrive in front of Rani was Vitura. The Golden Shield Society was fighting desperately to prevent the Doctrine Guardian Dawn from entering Lani.
Rani and Vitura’s eyes met.
Both of them stared at each other on the outside, but on the inside, they were indescribably sorry for each other.
“You, Rani, are also heretics. You will be punished severely in the future! Your Majesty Your Majesty! I have come, this bitura will save you from the heretics!”
Caang!
The swords of Rani and Vitura were mixed.
The workshop that the two practiced all night began.
Whereas Rani only needs to dodge and block his attacks. Vitura had to push her away and target the fake Saint King, pretending to kill the survivors.
Chaeng Chaeng-!
While receiving Bitura’s sword, Rani had the feeling that he was comforting her with the sword.
I mean it’s okay it’s okay
Tuong!
Rani was thrown off by Bitura’s thrust and rolled on the floor. At that time, the distance between the survivors of the fake King and Bitura was only two steps.
Vitura passed Rani with a mad look and slashed her sword once more.
The result of the next moment looked like a mistake on the part of Vitura.
“Cheer heh…!”
Bitura’s sword pierced the false king’s neck.
And just as he pauses, disbelieving his mistake, and reaches out to the survivors again.
Rani’s sword, which had just stood up, rushed into the back of Bitura’s neck.
