Chapter 208: Fugitive
Translated by SoundDestiny
Edited by SoundDestiny
“Yo-you-you…are!?”
Rewir’s voice trembles with intense agitation as he turns? his frightened eyes on the woman standing in front of him.
The woman: Angelica Ilkas, Chief of the Thousand Horsemen of the Kingdom of Zain,stood menacingly with flames behind her.
She has one eye and one foot, and holds a glowing torch in her right hand and a sharp ice-pick-like dagger in her left.
Angelica is cloaked in a sharp presence, as if she were ready to cut him down if he came near her. Rewir even feels she is beautiful in spite of the situation.
‘This woman is not…… human…..!’
How could a human being possibly radiate such a terrifying presence? Not even a skilled executioner, accustomed to decapitation, could have such cold, sharp eyes.
The woman standing in front of him is the god of death who reaps all kinds of life. She must be an emissary of the Dark Lord who crawled out of hell to earth.
“How, how did you get here ……?”
“Do I owe you an answer to your question? There’s no point in telling someone who’s going to die.”
“Go-going to die…..!?”
When Angelica closes the distance, Rewir falls back on his buttocks again and his expression becomes terrified.
“I-I’m not the kind of person who should die in a place like this……I’m the kind of person who can achieve greater things…..I’m the kind of talented person who can become a great man who will go down in history…! I can’t die despite not having achieved anything yet….!”
“What’s it have to do with me? Do I have to hear this until the end?”
Rewir was stringing words together as if begging for his life, but Angelica’s expression remained the same.
There is no pity or compassion. Only a hunger to kill the other person is in her eyes, which are now only one-eyed.
He has no value for his own life. Angelica’s look is even colder than the one she gives to a mushikera, and Rewir’s lips quiver and stiffens.

“………!”
“If that’s all you have to say, it’s time to kill you. Disappear, ……you filthy traitor.”
“Hiii……!!”
Angelica steps towards Rewir and tries to trample the life out of him.
Whether she pierced it with a dagger or kicked it with her metal prosthesis, there was no way for Rewir to avoid it.
“…..!”
However, someone suddenly intervenes between them and catches the swinging reaper’s blade.
“You ……!?”
“I am glad to see you are safe, Count!”
The man who saved? Rewir’s life in his time of need was a man of about fifty years of age. He was the captain employed by him. The captain came with his warhorse and with a spear in his hand, he flicked Angelica’s blade away.
“I see…..some people are still able to fight for him. I’m surprised.”
.
Angelica retreats slightly and turns her wary gaze to the Captain.
The captain dismounts from his horse with his eyes on Angelica and without looking at Rewir, says.
“I’ll take care of this! Please take this horse and run away.”
“Ca, captain…..!”
Rewir tears up as if moved to tears, but …… his eyes suddenly widen and his face becomes angry as he raises his voice.
“And rightly so! All this happened because you didn’t see the night raid coming! Take responsibility and serve as this count until I escape!”
“………..”
“But I’ll give you credit for…… your last act of loyalty!I will leave your name in the history I draw. You will thank me!”
After saying this unilaterally, Rewir mounted his horse and rode northwards.
Angelica watched the man run away in silence, and…… mumbled to the Captain.
“…..that thing, is it worth risking your life to help?”
“Doesn’t matter. I’m only a hired hand. You’re the one who has to chase a fleeing commander.”
“I really don’t care. It’s a little present from Onee-chan to give to her cute little brother.”
“……ah, I see. Well, good then.”
(Tl:I feel sad for him)
The captain simply dismisses it and points his spear at Angelica.
“So you are the 『Slaughter Princess of Ilkas』. You are not lacking for a final opponent for an old soldier! Let’s have a one-handed death match!”
“………..”
Angelica remained silent and spun the dagger around in her hand.
