I’m a Bastard But You’re Worse!

Meanwhile, the Lion Kingdom pirate ships that attacked Brutos were anchored near a small island not too far from the Sapphire Kingdom.

Bartolonow Cristina Blutlied had brought 10 large pirate ships from the Lion Kingdom. Around the small island, however, a much larger fleet was gradually assembling.

What a splendid sightIm getting wet just by looking

is that so.

Cristina was enraptured by the sight of the ships surrounding the island. The subordinate next to her managed to subdue the sheer horror he felt at her sight and utter a comment.

Along with the ships, the reinforcements sent by the Lion Kingdom were gathering in the island Cristina used as a temporary base.

The fleet now numbered more than 100 ships, of various sizes, manned by over 2000 pirates.

Even if Brutos refuses to surrender, we could even crush them with numbers at this rate. Mwahahaa perfect setting for my grand debut!

is that sourp

urp? Did I hear that right?

Apologiesa fly got up my nose.

Cristina, decked in heavy make-up as usual, glared at her subordinate, then sighed wistfully.

If only you men were a bit more useful, we wouldnt have wasted all this time on the Sapphire Kingdom. You better not mess up tomorrow, okay?

Certainly. If they surrender, we will capture the governor and all of the towns leading figures, then take control. If they dont, we will blow away the soldiers with cannon fire and take over by force. That is all right, yes?

Yes, yes it is!! If you do a good job, I might even kiss you!

Eeek!! Anything but that, please!!

And what is that supposed to mean!?

An irritated grimace rose on Cristinas face.

It can be pretty troublesome to be as beautiful as I am, since it can be intimidating for othersis true beauty fated to be never understood by commoners?

Truer words have never been spoken, Lady Cristina. So true I feel my urge to kill is rising.

Why in the world would you feel an urge to kill!? Youre not making any sense!

The subordinate, in order to escape Cristinas uncomfortable pressure, tried changing the topic.

Incidentally, what should we do in case there are no soldiers at the port?

Oh? How would something like that happen?

Well, they might be scared and run away.

Hmph! Just take over the governors palace then! Did you really need to ask such an obvious question?

Huffing and puffing, Cristina continued giving instructions to her subordinates.

You lot!! Make sure to supply the flaming arrows and explosives to the reinforcements! We still dont have enough Overthrowers, remember!!

Cristina had brought 10 Overthrower cannons from the Lion Kingdom.

They were newly developed weapons, so their numbers were still limited: making just one of these cannons required a massive amount of time and money.

I would really love for them to surrender quietly, though. If we mess up the port too much, we wont be able to use it after the town becomes ours.

Hopefully they will make the wisest choice.

The subordinate raised his head and noticed that the sun was setting.

The sky looked particularly red that day: as if it sensed the blood that was about to spill. Cristinas subordinate felt a chill run down his spine.

What a beautiful sunsetI feel its already celebrating my victory.

It must be praising your beauty, Lady Cristinapfft!

You better watch out, one of these days I might really kill you

And soa long day ended, and the day of the final battle began.

Who will emerge victorious in the battle over Brutos the young hero or the abominable monster?

why do I feel like someone just insulted me?

It must be your imaginationbfft!!
