Chapter 45: The world spreads its betraying arms!
Tetsuya was a man of unfathomable charisma that was often either too crazy and weird. It was impossible to take this man seriously if he were to look at you with his calm eyes which often made people think he is weirdo.
His charisma became crazy the moment he set the goal on something and stomped toward it with his crazy reasoning.
But such a man couldn't possibly keep such an appearance without proper backing. This term was really versatile and could mean truly a lot of things; bloodline, wealth, family… There were many treasures scattered around the world and just one could turn a lucky guy into a promising and brave warrior!
It was why many people believed that Tetsuya was really Yulia Household's descendant after the man just knelt before him.
This man was like a butler and it looked so real and convincing that all former bandits, slaves and just villagers began to believe the show with all their hearts.
Only those who thought a little more could see through it.
For example, the old man, "This butler's eyes changed when Tetsuya took out his sword, so him being able to use this Romantic Swordsmanship is the key." He began to suspect the whole Yulia Household this way.
It's said that this household had been really long here and its roots reached far past. But at some point, every household fell and it wouldn't be that surprising at all! He even spoke about it with Tetsuya back on their first meeting.
Yurek's words brought an understanding to Karola's heart and she nodded, "I see…"
The other one who shared the similar thoughts was Reyas. She already sucked on the pipe and just smoked it, "He might know something about Yulia Household and so he didn't stop himself from killing their young master. Hah, who am I kidding to? This bastard would even kill the god if the god were to look down on him. I guess we got lucky again…" Reyas was already too close with Tetsuya and she didn't even believe the crazy scenario for more than a second.
She pointed her pipe at the closest former bandit boss she had acquainted for a good while already, "Help all injured people and bring them back to our hospital." She then turned her eyes to another former bandit, "You get a small group to take down the remaining noble forces."
The death of the 5th noble son shocked the whole noble forces and they knew that the death was inevitable. It was either the noble head or Tetsuya people killing them.
Reyas saw through their state with naked eye and just sent some people to kill them since they were so vulnerable and defenseless right now.
"And you go gather the equipment from the ground. Take some people to assist you." Reyas then kept her eyes on Tetsuya and waited for him to return.
As expected, Tetsuya returned with the butler by his side, "Good work, Reyas." He reached her long red hair and played with it with his eyes trying to see through her own. It was a gaze filled with many emotions; mainly the rewarding and lustful ones.
Her next move was crucial because of that, "Thanks." She didn't turn away from those and accepted instead. Her red eyes answered everything Tetsuya had written on his own and so he smiled, "I will call you soon."
Tetsuya then went to his house with Butler next to him.
-
"I am not going to refuse this invitation." Tetsuya got invited to enter the Yulia Household as another young master. He would be 4th, replacing his victim. Of course, this victim tried to kill him so Tetsuya would never think of this person like that.
But why would he think of someone dead already?
The butler just nodded and spoke with a normal voice as he no longer needed to pay attention to the surroundings, "If you can use Romantic Swordsmanship, you can become the next master of this household. It's the secret known by the most loyal servants and our royal lineage."
Tetsuya found it funny, "This method brings a lot of problems, doesn't it? I will be one of those." Tetsuya was ready to go here and see more of this betraying world. He felt like it was spreading its arms and inviting him to see the higher and stronger people!
Tetsuya was clear-minded despite those. He believed that sanctuary and any other similar people wouldn't be here yet.
From what Yurek told him, such forces were more like transcended individuals that cared only for their principles. One wanted to purify the world out of evil while others might have the same but opposite goal.
With such goals, the lands and treasures as well as potential people would all follow.
Tetsuya took out his sword and played with it, "How is my swordsmanship?"
"You lack experience." The butler said with genuine intent. Though Tetsuya's moves were perfect, there was something stiff about it. It was clear he hadn't spent a lot of time by the sword and just needed enemies to behead to erase this weak side.
This was a scary thought as Tetsuya just ignored all other essential steps, "You are like a rough diamond in this case."
"I will forgive this one." Tetsuya spoke as if insulted, however, "Since you spoke such melodious to my heart words just a few minutes ago, I can't possibly punish you. It would totally erase this melody within my heart."
"..." The butler was speechless.
