Chapter 12-2

Then a notification appeared in Ottos eyes.

[Notification: Camilles attitude towards you has changed!]

[Notification: Camilles favorability towards you has changed from Pity to Expectation!]

As Otto demonstrated his abilities, Camilles favorability was gradually upgraded.

***

Meanwhile, Condor, who had managed to escape safely, went deep into the mountains to rejoin the main body.

There, the knights of the Orth estate and 500 soldiers were encamped and waiting.

Unfortunately, the assassination has failed.

Condor said as he gathered his knights.

The Otto de Scuderia was not what I had heard.

Was he?

Alan, Condors most trusted knight, asked in surprise.

Are you saying that because of what he was like, my lord, the operation failed?

He acted as if he knew the plan beforehand.

Otto that lowly w***ch did?

It seems that rumors are not to be trusted. He was more of a seasoned trickster than any b**tard Ive met.

With that, Condor ordered him to fetch some strong drink and bandages to tend to his wounds.

Even he could not help but suffer minor cuts from the battle in the banqueting hall.

Hmph Now that the easy assassination is out of the way lets move on to the next operation.

I will prepare immediately.

Condor had various plans to reclaim his territory.

In other words, the battle between Otto and Condor was just beginning.

* * *

A few days passed.

Camille.

Yes.

Keep an eye on this secret passage here, because I think the Condor will try to infiltrate during the night.

Understood.

Camille didnt ask how Otto knew the location of the secret passage.

He knew that if he asked, hed be told it was a <trade secret> and wouldnt tell him.

That night.

We move quietly, infiltrate quickly, eliminate Otto de Scuderia, and incite the people to riot. Do you understand?

Yes, my lord!

Condor, along with his knights and soldiers, tried to sneak into the Oort estate through a secret passage.

But then.

Enemy! Enemy!

Theres Condor! Get him!

As soon as they passed through the secret passage, Iotas army began to attack the Condors.

It was as if they were expecting the Condor to attack tonight.

Regret! Retreat! Quickly retreat!

In the end, the Condor was forced to flee in haste, unable to even enter the Orth estate.

Good run.

Standing on the ramparts, Otto watched the fleeing Condors and smiled.

They say the Condors strength is so great that the enemies didnt do much damage.

Doesnt matter, damage is not the goal.

Otto shrugged.

The night air is cold. Lets go inside. Itll be quiet for a few days.

Okay.

Another few days passed.

The merchant guild has requested to stop here for a while. Ive confirmed that its the merchants who regularly pass this way.

Camille reported to Otto.

Oh, them? Thats Condor and his men.

What?

The merchants are all knights of the Orth estate, and there are probably soldiers in the wagon as well. Grab them all and put them in jail.

I understand.

Camille, feeling deceived, obeyed Ottos orders.

The result.

Let go of me, you filthy Iota!

Ugh!

Otto was right.

It turned out that the entire merchants of about fifty people were knights and soldiers of the Orth estate.

How?

Condor was furious at the report that the operation had failed once again.

Damn it, he said, Let the people riot immediately!

But even that failed.

My lord those who were supposed to stir up the people they were all forcibly enlisted in the Iota Army and sent on a mission to exterminate monsters in the northern mountains.

What?

Condor honestly couldnt believe the report.

The identity of the people who were supposed to be encouraging the commoners was a secret that only Condor and his loyal knight Alan knew.

And yet, they were all enlisted in the Iota Army?

Something was wrong.

It felt like Otto was reading his thoughts.

And the conclusion it drew was Suspicion.

ALANNN..! Wheres Alan?

Condor immediately summoned Alan.

Yes, my lord. You called for me?

I trusted you.

Yes? What do you suddenly mean by that?

You were the only person apart from me who knew the details of the operation.

N-no, my lord, I never betrayed you.

You filthy traitor!

Slash!

Condors sword slashed through Alans throat.

Suspicion had led him to cut down the knight he trusted most. The one who had been most loyal to him.

All all listen.

The enraged Condor held up Alans bulging-eyed skull and commanded his men.

He doesnt realize that hes just beheaded an innocent Alan.

Whoever whoever betrays his country will meet this same miserable fate do you understand?

Y-yes, my lord!

The men shuddered in fear at the sight of Condors murderous stare.

Otto de Scuderia, you treacherous bastard you must be laughing at me by now but from now on it will be different for I have dealt with the traitor within and you will no longer be my foe.

Condor gritted his teeth as he remembered Ottos face.

Little did he realize that he was walking into a Pit-Hole, that Otto had dug for him, and that he was becoming increasingly corrupted.
