After my rebirth, Miss Saint turned evil

It can also be said that the torrent of Bruda's life was not stopped. He achieved reconciliation with his sister and was indeed saved in a sense.

However, it is precisely because of this that Bruda will not stop.

No, it should be said that he would not allow his will to be stopped.

Until the very end, until the very moment of his death, Bruda would not abandon Vistalinu.

Just like that, she would lose her life along with Vistalinu and her beloved family.

Murphy knew very well that deep down in her heart she was conflicted.

Using Bruda as an opportunity, Vistalinu fell and Belphein itself was shaken.

In other words, my goal has been achieved, and there shouldn't be anything better than this.

However, the result was that the former good friend lost his life again.

So, do I really have the right to regret this?

Without Bruda, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

It was precisely because of Bruda's existence that it was possible to drive a stake into Vistalinu's chest so smoothly, forcing her to bare her fangs at Moldo.

Yes, everything is thanks to Tobruda.

In the final analysis, I can't do anything by myself. I just acted as a pusher, connecting the link called "opportunity". I just did such boring work.

The result was that two family members who had finally reached a reconciliation after a long time were sent to their deaths, and one of them was someone he called his best friend.

Is this the result I expected?

- Not only did he sacrifice the life of his former friend to reach out and grab his own glory, but he also made an act of mourning the death of his friend in his heart to comfort himself.

Is this really the result you want?

Thinking of this, Murphy bit her lips tightly.

Behind him, Vistalinu's mercenaries, or her adopted sons, followed him out of the high-end tavern with noisy footsteps.

Although they were still confused, they still chased after Vistalinu.

"Listen, I will follow my own will... and question Lord Mordo."

Although this place is remote, it is undoubtedly on the streets of Belphein.

And on such an occasion, the Iron Princess Vistalinu said this in public.

——Whether you obey yourself or not, you are free to do whatever you want. There is no need or meaning for you to continue to be connected to yourself. After all, humans can only decide what to do on their own in the end.

Vistalinu slowly opened his lips and continued speaking in a resonant voice.

"If you still wish to continue following this so-called Iron Princess, turn around here. If you do not wish to accompany me, please do as you please. I will not give you any more orders."

There were sounds like swallowing saliva all around, which announced the confusion in the hearts of the mercenaries.

First of all, I have no idea what Vistalinu is talking about.

Could it be that the implication of that statement was that she wanted to break with the lord?

After realizing this, the mercenaries' faces turned pale.

However, even after realizing this, they still refused to leave Vistalinu.

Although the mercenaries showed various expressions, most of them finally chose to chase after Vistalinu's back.

Ah, they too are dying.

Who created that deadly place? Moldo? Or Vistalinu?

Or is it yourself?

Murphy watched carefully as the people who had already started to take action.

Vistalinu no longer rode the armored magic horse as before. Now she walked side by side with Bruda on the street.

And for a moment, Bruda glanced back at Murphy and muttered.

"Well, employer, you're surprisingly not bad. Well, rather, you're excellent—if we can meet again, yes."

——If we can meet again, let’s go eat venison together to celebrate.

Having said just this, Bruda's figure gradually disappeared in the tide of mercenaries.

As if he was sure that Murphy would not chase after him, he no longer looked back.

Chapter 44: Iron Princess and the Former Loyal Minister (3000)

A close confidant of Lord Mordo Gorn of Belphein, named Tolga.

Tolga has served Mordor since his youth.

His character was described by others as frank and upright, and his status was improved because Moldo appreciated his honest work attitude.

However, only Tolga himself knew that it was actually wrong.

Rather, contrary to that, the reason why he could become Mordo's confidant was because he had a frank and upright character.

Tolga's master, Mordo, is skeptical of things, as befits his status as a lord.

Rather than saying that this is a problem of human nature, it is better to say that suspicion is a necessary element to being a superior person.

Especially for upstarts like Mordo, they do not have the abilities that the nobles have cultivated since childhood, so they often do not know how to deal with the doubts in their hearts.

It is for this reason that Moldo trusts Tolga and regards him as his confidant.

Tolga himself fully understands what his master needs.

And Tolga knows no other way of living than to go forth in a straight and frank manner, and so he often responds well to the requests of his master.

As a result, he won the highest trust among the retainers and was even appointed as the guardian of his master's beloved daughter, the Iron Princess Vistalinu.

The mission assigned to me this time was also due to the master's trust.

The mission was to escort and monitor one of the visiting duo's knights, Filia Reinhardt.

Although I can't imagine what action the other party will take, maybe nothing.

However, if one considers that the other party might have some dangerous plans in mind, they need to be monitored.

So, having been told this by his master, Tolga now stood here.

Although it is somewhat different from the previous mission, in Toerga's opinion, this time is actually the same. He just needs to act according to the assigned responsibilities.

Yes, Tolga thought so from the bottom of his heart.

But now, the emotions in his heart were shaken as never before.

The reason for this is that the streets are covered with groups of mercenaries who are completely opposed to the private soldiers led by Tolga.

The master of those mercenaries was none other than Belphion's Iron Princess, Vistalinu.

"Torga...it just so happens that I have something to ask you."

The sight of the Iron Lady marching along the street with a large group of mercenaries was actually quite common, and Tolga had no reason to be bothered by such a thing.

But the problem now is those eyes.

Under normal circumstances, those eyes would usually show affection or similar feelings towards Tolga.

But now, there was a hint of cruelty in it, as if nothing could be believed.

Tolga had seen such eyes before, and he had seen the colors hidden within them.

It was the color of the pupils of none other than his master, Mordo.

That is the color that appears in your eyes when you doubt someone or something from the bottom of your heart.

And now, those pupils filled with doubt are now looking towards him.

Tolga seemed to have a vague idea of ​​what this fact meant.

So, Tolga murmured while slowly moving his lips.

"Yes, Miss Vistalinu, if I may answer."

The private soldiers standing behind Tolga watched the conversation between the two with incredible expressions.

"My mother... No, tell me everything you know about my parents."

The moment he heard these words, the wrinkles on Tolga's face deepened.

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

"...Ms. Vistalinu. If it's a family matter, I'm sorry I can't answer."

——Please forgive me.

Having said this, Tolga lowered his head deeply.

Vistalinu just glanced at him without any drastic reaction.

Because she knew very well that even if Tolga really knew everything, all she would get from him would be the answer that she knew nothing.

He is loyal wherever he goes and it is impossible for him to betray his master.

Yet, at the same time, he wouldn't lie.

Therefore, the question I asked just now was only to express my will to the other party, that is, to tell the other party why I came here.

The question itself doesn't have much meaning.

"Understood. Then please withdraw. I will return to the Lord's Mansion next. You just need to complete your mission well."

In a completely different tone from before, Vistalinu said goodbye to Tolga, his loyal minister who had been supporting him for many years.

Vistalinu wondered if Tolga really knew everything about him.

If he really knew, his heart would still be filled with sticky sadness.

But even so, there should still be some feelings from the past left.

Then, you can still allow yourself to say goodbye.

Therefore, it is best for you to deliberately respond arrogantly like this and say goodbye in this way.

Judging from the fact that he was leading his own soldiers, he must have been assigned some mission by Mordo, and he didn't seem to have any intention of staying here.

Then, as if to declare that he no longer needed you, Vistalinu took a firm step forward.

Then, a familiar yet slightly old voice came into her ears.

"...No, Miss Vistalinu, I can't let you pass right now."

It took Vistalinu a while to accept this statement in his heart.

For her, this was actually an unexpected answer.

Because until now, although Tolga had gently rebuked her, he had never chosen to refuse.

And Tolga himself is a man who demonstrates his integrity and loyalty wherever he goes.

Therefore, that answer was completely beyond Vistalinu's expectations.

And Vistalinu was not the only one who was shaken by his language.

The private soldiers who followed Tolga, although only a few, did show signs of hesitation in their eyes.

As if questioning his true intention, the private soldiers turned their attention to Tolga.

Then, time seemed to fall into a momentary blank, and it seemed that no one could decide on the next move.

At this moment, Tolga chose his words carefully and said this sentence.

"Miss Vistalinu, what are you going to ask Master Mordo?"

"Everything. Everything about me. When he couldn't answer—"

It is no exaggeration to say that Vistalinu's answer was very rude, his words were like biting ice, and his eyes were full of hostility.

Vistalinu admits that he is currently seriously lacking in mental stability.

I'm afraid that the reason why I can still maintain this bit of rationality is probably because I have my sister by my side to support me.

For a moment, Vistalinu's eyes glanced to the side as if searching for something.

Over there, my elder sister was looking at me with a smile on her face. When I thought about her situation, how could I be so crazy and panicked?

This is Vistalinu, the only pillar now.
