After my rebirth, Miss Saint turned evil

"Ahem! Then—"

"—If you want to live, then be obedient and follow me outside immediately, Your Highness... No, is it your daughter?"

Improvised villain lines, huh, just playing dumb... thinking of this, my cheeks couldn't help but relax slowly.

"You're wrong, Murphy. You're wrong. Not a princess, not a rich lady, but just Filia. Ordinary Filia, how about that?"

That's right, if she were to steal from Reinhard's house, Filia Reinhard would have to change accordingly.

"Oh, by the way, Murphy, you—aren't you an accomplice of my ordinary Filia?"

Ordinary Filia, at this moment, was squinting her eyes.

Murphy slowly opened her lips, as if choosing her words, and muttered to herself.

"...Uh, ah. Of course."

It was a confusing moment.

It is obvious that the other party is the one who is being stolen, and it is obvious that you are the one who is stealing others.

But why is it that the current situation seems to be the opposite?

Chapter 125 The idea of ​​"genius"

"...are you serious, man?"

Facing Murphy's question in a surprised tone, Filia just curled her lips and asked, "Then why don't you tell me when I've ever made a joke?"

"No...I mean...I was just...just joking." Murphy spoke intermittently, choosing his words.

As soon as the words fell, Murphy felt that the air around him seemed to suddenly freeze.

"...Are you kidding?" Filia's voice reappeared, but the tone was quite cold.

As she was talking, she suddenly became excited: "You are kidding me... You! Are you kidding me?! I am——"

Seeing that her voice was getting louder and louder, Murphy quickly reached out and covered her mouth, forcibly interrupting her words.

Then, he leaned close to Filia's ear anxiously and whispered, "Shh! Keep your voice down. Those are your family's private soldiers outside. If they find us in here, we'll both be finished."

After hearing this, Filia stopped struggling.

No, it would be more accurate to say that she stopped struggling after Murphy covered her mouth.

However, perhaps because her mouth was covered and she was having difficulty breathing, her face looked a little red.

But even so, she still kept staring at this side.

After a while, seeing that there was indeed no possibility of her being exposed again, Murphy slowly loosened his grip, sighed, and explained, "What I said before... was just... how should I put it. Explanations, do you understand? Those were just excuses I gave you because I wanted to take you away. It doesn't mean that I really have my eyes on your family's property."

However, facing his explanation, Filia just raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "So what? Anyway, I promised you, so I must do it."

Perhaps to express her determination, she stared at Murphy earnestly and said, "If you don't agree, it means I haven't fulfilled my promise. In that case, I will return to the capital to find my father."

This woman...is there something wrong with her brain? Why didn't I see that she was missing a nerve before? I can't explain it.

Murphy's cheeks twitched violently as she thought of this.

But no matter how he thought about it, he would never say what was in his heart.

Because he knew that Filia was really capable of doing such a thing, and then everything he did would be in vain.

There was no other way. After thinking for a moment, he could only sigh again, mutter softly, and complain: "Who would bring a thief to steal their own things?"

However, because the two were quite close to each other, although his complaint was very soft, Filia could still hear it clearly.

Facing Murphy's helpless murmur, she curled her lips and responded with a smile: "Have you forgotten? I am no longer the daughter of the Reinhard family. I am just an ordinary Filia, that's all."

Her smile grew wider, even her silver eyes curved slightly. "So, this isn't my home anymore. So, is it okay for me to bring my accomplices as thieves to the Earl's castle and steal some valuables to have some fun?"

...speculiar arguments.

Although I knew she was making excuses, I couldn't refute her because I couldn't win the argument.

This woman is not only good with a sword, but also has a tricky way of speaking.

"I know what you're worried about, but don't worry. I grew up in that castle and am very familiar with it. So if I take you in, no one will be able to discover us."

Perhaps to comfort Murphy, she added, "And I know exactly where those valuable things are hidden, so it won't take long at all. I just need to take a few valuable things and leave."

As she spoke, Filia crouched down and started moving.

Seeing this, Murphy could only shake his head helplessly and followed her silently.

That's right, they are no longer in the royal capital, but in Wilfred Castle in the earldom east of the royal capital.

Originally, Murphy's plan was to go directly east to Leinburg, then head south from there to the Great Forest, and then turn west to the free city of Crossmaria to settle there.

The reason why they had to go to Leinburg first was because when Murphy asked Selena and her siblings to return to Lars, she asked them to do a few things.

If you calculate the time, by the time they arrived at Leinburg, Selena and Wood had almost completed the tasks he asked them to do, and then went to Leinburg to wait for him to meet up.

Originally, Murphy had planned everything, but something unexpected happened on the way.

If one wants to travel from the capital to Lars, the Reinhardt Earldom is a territory that cannot be bypassed.

Therefore, even though there was a risk of being discovered, Murphy had to take Filia into the Earldom.

And just now, they passed the border of the earldom.

However, when they crossed the border in disguise, they saw a large number of fully armed men standing by.

Murphy didn't know who those people were, but Filia knew very well.

She could tell at first sight that they were the family's private soldiers led by her uncle Frederick Reinhardt.

As for why this group of family private soldiers gathered here, it was naturally to pick up their head of the family, the Earl who escaped from the royal capital.

So after meeting them, Filia suddenly had a bold idea - she wanted to secretly return to Wilfred Castle and take some valuable things from it.

To be honest, when Murphy heard this plan, he even thought that Filia had gone completely crazy.

Hence the initial conversation.

But it's no use saying anything now, it seems that Filia has made up her mind.

Murphy knew that no one could stop Filia once she made up her mind.

So now we can only pray that the private soldiers guarding here will not go back for the time being.

But to be honest, Filia's plan is not unfeasible.

Because when Murphy took Filia away from the mansion, Patrick had not yet left his own mansion, and Filia's sudden disappearance would definitely cause them some trouble.

Therefore, even though they have left the royal capital and entered the earldom, Patrick may not have come out of the royal capital yet.

-------------------------------------

I owed 10 and a half chapters before, and I owed some more these two days while working on my graduation project. I updated one chapter the day before yesterday, two chapters yesterday, and I should owe one more chapter today.

So far I have already owed 14 and a half chapters, or let’s count it as 15.

The mid-term defense of the final project will start on Saturday afternoon. I will start paying it back immediately after the defense and try to finish it before the end of May.

I have kept a careful note of the chapters I owe, and I will definitely pay them off, so don't worry, dear readers.

Chapter 126 The Legend Itself

"...What is this?" After hesitating for a while, Murphy finally asked the question in his mind.

Completely different from the excitement she had when she arrived, Filia's expression was now filled with respect and solemnity. She explained to Murphy, "A sword. It belonged to Reinhardt. This is... the sword of my ancestor."

...The sword master's sword? This? This... tattered piece of shit? Are you kidding me?

The surprise in Murphy's heart at this moment was no less than when he first heard Filia make that ridiculous decision.

But it's no wonder that he had so many questions in his mind, because what he saw at this moment was not a shining sharp blade, but a piece of tatters.

No, to say it's tattered is even an exaggeration.

The object in front of him, which vaguely resembled a sword, was already covered in rust. Not to mention being used, it was so worn that one would even wonder if it would be blown to pieces by a gust of wind.

The doubts in Murphy's heart were already written on his face, so perhaps seeing something, Filia continued to explain to him with a respectful expression:

"—This is... my family's heirloom. In legend, it's known as a mystery and a miracle."

...No, of course I know the legend of that sword, but to be honest, how can this thing in front of me look mysterious and miraculous?

Murphy knew the swordsman Reinhardt, and naturally knew the legend of the sword he wielded. He learned all this when he asked the mice to help him collect intelligence.

That sword was a heirloom, passed down from generation to generation by Reinhardt's descendants.

In a sense, the sword is the legend itself.

As for the legend, the general content is: If someone can get this sword, then he will have the opportunity to obtain the skills of the sword's owner, that is, the sword master Reinhard.

But this thing itself is just a legend after all, although the story describes it seriously and even gives many examples.

But in reality, people have never heard of anyone actually obtaining the Sword Master's abilities, not even the Reinhardt family who have inherited the sword.

And, this is most likely the case.

After all, the thing in front of him now looked like just a piece of junk.

This thing... well, let's just call it a sword.

Although the sword was fixed solemnly on the table, no matter how you looked at it, it was not a valuable item, and it did not feel like an antique.

Honestly, there's only banality attached to this sword.

It's not just the value that has been lost, even its meaning here has been lost.

Because the sword was placed casually in the underground warehouse of Wilfred Castle.

Yes, it’s not a treasure trove, it’s just an ordinary underground warehouse.

An underground warehouse dominated by darkness, dust, stench, and a chill that creeps up from the heels.

Even the door of the warehouse was open.

And this sword was stuck in the deepest part of the warehouse so openly, and there was no trace of the legend itself at all.

Just as Murphy was thinking about all sorts of things in his mind, Filia, who had been facing the sword with her back to him, suddenly turned around.

"...Merphy, could you please take it away for me?"

The tone was one of solemn request and the expression seemed serious, which made Murphy feel a little surprised.

But it's not hard to understand. Although it's just a piece of junk in his own eyes, for Filia, a member of the Reinhard family, this sword must have a special meaning.

…So, why don’t you take it yourself?

Murphy did not say this out loud. After all, although he did not know what Filia was thinking, it was not a big deal for him anyway.

Thinking of this, he nodded slightly, then walked to Filia who had taken a step back, stretched out his right hand and grabbed the hilt of the sword.

...I hope it won't be crushed.

With such concerns, under the constant watchful eyes of Filia behind him, Murphy slowly moved his shoulders and tried to pull out the sword.

Then......

Then he drew his sword.

Well, nothing special.

As expected, no unusual phenomena occurred, and the sword was simply pulled out from the pedestal.

Although I felt some resistance at the beginning, it was only a little bit and lasted for a very short time.

After picking up the sword that looked extremely ancient, Murphy turned around and looked at Filia.

The next moment, he asked with some confusion: "Um...is there a problem?"

Just as he turned around, he did see the complex look that flashed across Filia's eyes.

Although it disappeared quickly, he still saw it clearly.

However, Filia didn't seem to want to explain to him. She just shook her head slowly and said, "Nothing."

Murphy pondered for a moment and decided not to bother with the matter anymore.

How should I describe that look just now... At least in his understanding, he didn't see any reluctance or other negative emotions.

Since it won't cause any harm to you, there's no need to worry about it.

So, he shrugged, handed the sword in his hand to Filia, and said, "Here, your heirloom, take it."
