It had been three days since Daniel came to the Holt Territory. These three days were extraordinary; I started feeling like Amelia did not hate me.
When I used to work, she would come to me and ask me about my condition through writing in her book. She would keep towels ready when I came from training. The food was also excellent that Amelia would cook it herself without speaking to any of the servants.
And she always comes to me as if she wants to talk with me. I hired a twenty-year-old girl servant for her so that she could speak to her as she also understands Amelia's gestures.
But Amelia would still try to come to me, which was very difficult for me to understand why she would want to talk to me, Roy, who she hates the most.
But that might be my illusion as well. I must not forget that Amelia is in love with Andrew; she is the game's heroine who will be with Andrew in the end.
"Master Roy, won't you take any soldier with you?"
It was time to go to the Turner Territory, and I was in my room, sheathing my sword and holding it over my body. Daniel was standing outside near the carriage. Maybe he doesn't want to meet me anymore.
In character description, it was told that Daniel is a prideful warrior who is kind to the weak, and in contrast, Roy is his complete opposite, so it could be the case that he doesn't want to meet Roy.
I was not taking any soldiers from the Territory with me to Turner Territory, which Lawrence asked in concern.
"You think that for your Territory, I will take soldiers from my Holt Territory. You should dream, considering your worth."
I could not take soldiers from Holt Territory.
If I take a soldier, they will see the condition of Turner Territory and speak to Harrison, then I will get into unnecessary arguments.
Why did you go there? You should worry about yourself, that's all.
Second, I have to help differently, considering I am the villain. For which I have already made all the arrangements, so you do not need to worry. Soon the message of arrangement will also come.
"Master Roy, but if you don't take any help with you-"
Ben entered the room before Lawrence could finish his entire sentence.
"Young Master, Master Hugh, has arrived in the territory and is meeting madam at this time in her room."
Lawrence looked at Ben in surprise.
"Reinhardt?"
Lawrence could not understand why Reinhardt, a Baron, would have come at this time. Is it a coincidence, or did Roy call himself? He doesn't have a way to know this.
A smile appeared on Roy's face as he listened to Ben.
"Tell him to get ready because he has to go on the journey again. He will not get any rest."
Ben nodded his head after listening to Roy, but there was a concern.
"Young Master, this is not your job, you must wait for Master Harrison to come, and there is a danger that your life may also be in danger."
Danger? I know, but I must go there otherwise; if we go by the plot of the game, then the ruin is visible on both sides of Turner Territory and Harrison to be punished in the future.
I have to go. Whether I want to or not.
"You think I will wait for Father to get a solution for such a small disease. I am not as weak as all of you. Such a small disease can't even spoil a single hair of mine."
"Small?"
Lawrence, hearing Roy's words, turned to look at him. Roy addressed a disease that has taken many lives with a minor illness.
'I don't understand whether he is too powerful or too stupid.'
This was the doubt in Lawrence's mind.
"But Master Roy Still Yours-"
"Enough! I'm getting late; you shut the shutter of your mouth. I have more work to do."
Roy got ready after cutting Ben's words and started leaving the room. Lawrence also started following Roy. Ben was looking at Roy as he went.
'Who did not even think it necessary to talk to others? He is going today to help others.'
Ben, shaking his head here and there, began to put the room's contents in their place. There was a slight smile on Ben's face as he kept it.
'Truly how much one person can change another, I found out today.'
***********
Daniel and Lawrence were coming with us in separate carriages as we left the Halt Territory. Amelia was in another carriage with her personal maid and in the carriage with me.
"Now tell me why you invited me here and why are you taking me with you to the Turner Territory."
Hugh was sitting.
I wrote a letter to Hugh saying that he should come to Holt Territory and after writing my letter Hugh had no other way but to obey me; reason?
Because I am the heir of the marquis and his sister is married in Holt Territory, and Holt was helping them, how will he not listen to me. Hugh also brought along some of his soldiers at my behest, who are coming behind us on horseback.
As Hugh asked, Roy handed over some papers to Hugh and asked him to read them.
"What is this? A Drawing?"
Hugh grabbed the paper by Roy's hand and looked at it; a picture had been drawn.
"You must have heard that some disease is spreading very fast in Turner Territory and has also caused many fatalities."
Hugh shook his head as Roy said it.
"Yes, I have heard that. Due to this, we have increased surveillance in our Territory as well. But what does this have to do with the drawing made on paper."
Hugh was looking intently at that picture.
"This drawing is of some monster, I think, and what is it written in this drawing by putting red circles all over the place. I don't understand."
Hugh was looking at the picture made on that paper but could not understand what Roy wanted to say from it.
"This is the root of that disease."
"What?"
At Roy's behest, Hugh started looking at him.
"This monster is hazardous; these man-eating creatures attack every creature and make it their food. This monster is called Kreman Monster, which is very rarely found."
Roy started telling Hugh the same theory that was said in the game.
I also don't know much about it, but I know as much as it was told in the game, and only I know the solution.
"But still, what is the relation of that disease to it. That disease has happened without any monster attack."
"Your brain will be tiny. Can't understand such a thing? You are an idiot."
With Roy's remarks, Hugh started looking at Roy with a sharp eye.
"Every part of this monster is poisonous. Even if it kills a monster and eats it and leaves it on the ground for some time, if someone touches it, he will fall in the grip of this disease."
All this was told to me by my friends while playing the game. I used to reprimand them for not telling me, but I didn't know it would be that useful.
"This monster looks like what you see in the picture. And the red mark around him is his weakness, along with the details. Read it well because you have to go to defeat this monster."
"What?"
As Roy said this, he looked at him in surprise.
"Isn't this the Lord's job? For whose work you are asking me."
This is Lord's work, but if you help Turner, you and he will develop a friendship that will allow Daniel to meet Andrew and help him.
"Are you afraid that even if you know all your enemy's shortcomings and only then will you die? I used to think you are only weak, but you are also a coward; I came to know this today."
Roy was mocking Hugh.
Hugh's character was described as being responsible, kind-hearted, and caring, so I know that Hugh will never hold back from helping others.
"I didn't say that I'm afraid. If it's all you wrote, it won't be that hard to beat those monsters."
After Roy made fun of him, Hugh began to read the papers thoroughly.
"And yes, one more thing, that girl will also accompany you in this monster subjugation."
"Are you crazy? Do you want to kill Amelia?!"
At Roy's behest, Hugh stood up in anger from his place. But Roy looked more comfortably at Hugh.
"Have you failed to protect your sister from that monster even after telling you all this? If you only think that going with you will put her life in danger, stop calling yourself an aristocrat."
With Roy's stern reply, Hugh began to sit in his seat, facing down.
"Amelia doesn't need to go. I'll see for myself. You don't need to worry about it."
But Hugh still didn't agree to take Amelia along.
Amelia must accompany him. I just want to put this kind of impression on Daniel that I don't care about Amelia, and I'm sending her to kill the monster, risking her life.
"You will not be alone; the people of Turner Territory will also be with you. And I have not asked you; I have told you that that girl will go with you. You don't need to give your opinion on this."
When Roy spoke, Hugh looked at him angrily.
'Amelia told me that this boy is very nice.'
When I met Amelia, she had a smile on her face. Many things were kept in her room. And Amelia was telling in happiness that this boy had been looking to help them for three days without sleeping to see how he could help them.
But the one who works hard to help others will let his wife go into danger.
"May I ask what you will do? I understand that if you are telling all this, then your work might be significant. I am interested to know your work."
Hugh, looking at Roy, started asking him what he would do. Because if Roy is telling all this to Hugh, then Roy's work will definitely be critical.
At Hugh's behest, Roy smiled and looked outside.
"Is this even something to ask? I'll rest."
"rest?"
The one who has worked so hard to make all these papers has written the ways to defeat one monster, and the one who has written on the paper what to do every step, is saying that he will take rest. What could be a bigger joke than this?
'If this is a boy like Amelia has said, then there must be something going on in his mind that he would not want to tell others. I must trust Amelia.'
Hugh, after seeing Roy, began to read the paper.
"As you wish. Take a good rest if you are destined to?"
Hugh looked at the paper. Roy looked at Hugh, and he was surprised.
'Won't he argue with me about my decision?'
I had a feeling that Hugh would start arguing with me about my request, but he accepted my point and started looking at the paper. I don't know what is going on in his mind.
But whatever it is, it is my advantage; I will not have to argue much.
Roy looked outside.
"Well, I want to know one more thing. How did you know that this monster is the cause of the disease."
The papers were very detailed as if Roy himself had gone and monitored this in the Territory.
"You don't need to know this. Do what you have given the work, do it without question."
Roy was looking outside, ignoring Hugh.
'Was he already gone to their territory to find the reason behind it to help them?'
It is impossible to know all this in three days. So it means he was already thinking about helping them for a long time, and even after working so hard, he called me; maybe he doesn't want to take credit for all this.
'Is he really such a nice person'
Hugh was looking at Roy in amazement. Hugh really couldn't believe that anyone could be that nice.
"What are you looking for, do the work you have been given."
Roy started scolding him on seeing Hugh.
"you are crazy."
"what?"
Hugh began to reread his paper, shaking his head here and there.
'I must believe him; perhaps he is a very good man indeed.'
Hugh got back to his work, and Roy looked at him.
'What happened to him now.'
After seeing Hugh for a while, Roy started looking outside, giving up.
'I also have to go and do my work which I have to do.'
Roy had this in mind
And so the journey continued.
********
It had been a long time since the journey started, we left for Turner Territory in the morning, and it was night by the time we arrived here.
Coming to the Turner Territory, the atmosphere here seemed like mourning. Kiamia disease had spread, and people were suffering from it in many homes, and some even lost their lives.
Coming to the Turner Territory, I did not see many people coming out of the house. Perhaps they must have been afraid to step out because of the fear of this disease.
"The atmosphere here is worse than I had heard. Looking here, it seems as if no one is ready to come out of their house."
In front of me, Hugh also looked outside the carriage, looking at the plight of the people of the Territory. It was obvious that if a disease comes in such a way that there is no solution, then fear is bound to arise in the person's mind.
The same was happening here as well.
"Didn't I tell you to go to that girl's carriage? Why are you here with me."
I told Hugh to go to Amelia's carriage and read this in her carriage so that she would not feel lonely after talking to her brother, but Hugh was back in my carriage.
"I was halfway in Amelia's carriage, so can't I stay halfway in my brother's carriage."
"Who told you that I am your brother."
Brother? Hugh was described as a responsible person in his family. Who cared a lot about the happiness of his family. So what is he doing here, leaving his sister alone?
Isn't he angry with me for what I did with Andrew and Amelia?
"I probably need to remind you that you and Amelia are married. On this basis, you will also be my brother. Why? Did I say wrong, Brother in Law?"
What has happened to these two siblings? Have the intellects of both of them become corrupt? They treat me as if they do not hate me, but they consider me a family member.
But how is this possible.
"What happened, brother-in-law? What did you think?"
Seeing Roy lost in thoughts, Hugh started asking Roy.
"There is no need to talk to me much, that you are closer to me. You are still below me, so call me by name."
"Will anyone even allow him to be called by name whom he deems inferior?"
When Hugh's question was raised, Roy looked outside with embarrassment.
"Get lost; you are not allowed to ask me questions. Do what you've been given, don't gossip too much."
A small smile came to Hugh's face after seeing this behaviour of Roy.
'Really, he's not such a bad guy.'
Hugh took the papers given by Roy and looked at them.
"By the way, this picture is very well made on paper, and everything is also given in detail. If this monster is the reason for this disease, then it will be much easier to defeat it."
"What else? If I have made it, it will be good."
In the number of files, an engineering student has made diagrams; hardly anyone else can make them because of which the drawing of more than half of the engineering students is good.
Obviously, so it will all be in detail.
"Really, sometimes I feel that you are not younger than me but older than me."
"Shut up, get your eyes treated if you see this."
Hugh is twenty years old, so I am one year younger than him, so how can this make me think of him as more senior. I know all this. I know this is the game world therefore I know some things you do not know.
But I am still nineteen years old, not more than that.
"Okay, okay, my mistake, forgive me."
Hugh smiled and went back to his work. And Roy had also turned his face out to the other side. Turners' Mansion was also visible. And the carriage was just about to arrive.
And there was a slight wrinkle in Roy's face as soon as he saw the Mansion; something was on his mind.
'Just as I have planned, everything should be done the same way.'
**********
Our carriage had stopped a short distance away from the Mansion. Daniel and Lawrence's carriage was also starting to follow us, and Amelia's carriage was a little further away from us; she was also getting closer.
"Young Master, we have reached the Turner Mansion; now you can get down from the carriage."
The servant who was driving the carriage was opening our door and asking us to get down.
As soon as the servant opened the door, I started descending, and Hugh came downstairs behind me.
"We have to go for monster subjugation tomorrow night; we don't have to go now, right?"
Hugh came down and started asking me.
"If you are fond of dying, go now; no one will stop you. If you want to be alive, then as said, go only tomorrow night."
Kreman monsters have weak eyesight at night, due to which they are not difficult to defeat, and some part of their body glows at night, making it easy to differentiate them from other monsters.
"Your tongue is really sharp. Can't you ever speak with love? Alright, if I have to go tomorrow night, I'll be able to prepare too."
If I could speak with love, why wouldn't I have talked already? this is my compulsion.
"My words are perfect for someone like you. Don't call me anymore now, I have to go to rest. I don't have time to argue with you."
I also have to prepare for tomorrow, the work which has been given to you and the work which I have to do is different but essential, so both of us should rest.
"Okay, well, Mr Holt, as you say. Let's go."
Hugh was not taking offence to my words but was behaving as if a friend was talking to another friend. But what could be the secret of its rapid transformation? I still could not understand it.
'Now all this will think later; first, this work is done, then there is a lot of time for this.'
Roy started walking toward the Mansion, and Hugh began to follow Roy. When Hugh and Roy started walking, only then did a voice come from some distance.
"Save my grandmother, please, I beg you. There is no one in my family except her; if she passes away, how will I live."
At some distance, a twenty-two-year-old boy was crying to the guards near the Mansion. And he was asking all of them to save the body lying below.
Seeing this, the guards were also avoiding answering the boy.
"You should perform his last rites now. By keeping them together, you are putting your life as well as the lives of others in danger."
That body was starting to decompose; now, it was easy to know that it could not be saved by looking at that body. Due to this, those guards were explaining to the boy a little sad with a soft expression.
"Don't make fun of me. Apart from her, who is there in my life? Save her, tell those nobles; they know magic and can definitely do something."
But the boy was adamant on his insistence. He was not taking the name of leaving from there, ignoring the truth by getting carried away in emotion.
"Garrett, have courage; control your emotion."
"Garrett, Jia is right; now accept the truth. And free your grandmother from this world."
The boy was accompanied by a girl close to his age and a woman close to forty years old asking him to go back.
"I won't be going back. I will not let my grandmother go anywhere."
But the boy was still stubborn, crying and telling the guards. Due to this, the guard was finding it difficult to say to him now. He was feeling sympathy for that boy.
"This disease is really very dangerous. We have to eliminate it completely as soon as possible."
Hugh was also looking at the boy, saying. Hugh had shown a very kind character who cared very much for others. Perhaps seeing this, his heart must have been hurting.
Roy was also looking from a distance towards this scene. And Roy was also looking at that dead body.
'Tomorrow, we have to eliminate the root of this disease, the Kreman Monster.'
If this does not happen, then many more such deaths will occur. Due to this, many children are orphaned, many parents will be left without any other families, and many families will be ruined.
"If you have spoken, stick to your words and show them. Don't run away out of fear."
"I never run away from what I say. I am also an aristocrat, don't forget that."
"If you just keep doing this nonsense, how will you be ready for tomorrow. Hurry up; there's no time to stop."
Hugh clenched his fist and started following Roy, determined to eliminate the root of the disease in his mind.
"Fine."
Roy looked at them for a bit and started walking back, turning his face towards the Mansion.
When he was leaving, someone called him from behind
"You are noble, aren't you?"
After hearing that voice, Roy and Hugh started looking at the back; that boy started coming closer to them while moving those guards here and there.
"Oi, wait. You can't get near them."
"Hold him."
Those guards tried to stop him, but he escaped, came close to Roy and Hugh, fell at Roy's feet, and caught hold of him.
"You're a noble; you can use magic. I beg you, please cure my grandmother; everyone says she is dead. But I know she can still be fine."
Hugh was looking at the boy with pity without speaking. He could not say anything.
"Please, cure her, or if she is not there, then I will also die."
Roy was also looking at her.
'She's dead.'
Had she been breathing, there is a way she could have been saved, but I still do not use that method. Because in that way, only a maximum of five to six people can be cured entirely.
If I saved some people out of many sick people, riots could happen in the Territory, and I don't even know that other people should not try to kill those who have been saved.
Those suffering from this disease can only depend on their blood's ability to eliminate infections. And those who are more in the grip of illness, then there-
"Please save her."
The boy was not taking the name of leaving Roy's leg.
*************
The carriages of Lawrence, Danielle, and Amelia were also now near the Mansion. They were all starting to get off the carriage.
"Daniel, we should also hurry; he must have gone inside the mansion."
"Yeah, okay, but I still don't trust the guy completely. I don't believe he will be able to solve our problems too."
"Daniel, we'll argue that later; let's go first."
"Yeah."
Daniels and Lawrence also got down to go to the Mansion, and they both waited for Amelia's carriage.
"Ma'am, let's get down; we have come before the mansion of the Turner Territory."
Lena was taking Amelia down with respect, with one hand towards her.
Amelia was also coming downstairs, holding her hand. And when she got down, she had her staff in her hand.
'I will also be of use to help someone.'
Brother Hugh told me that I would have to go with him tomorrow to kill the monster because he was told so by Roy, and the brother told me he had a plan that he probably won't tell anyone.
Well, in reality, he keeps many things buried with himself without telling anyone; perhaps he does not trust anyone much.
But if our relationship goes well, maybe he can tell me. I should try to make this relationship good.
"Please save my grandmother."
As soon as they all got down from their carriage, their eyes went to the sound coming.
A boy was holding Roy's feet and was probably asking him for help.
"He has come again. I told him that now the diseased body should be burnt with this; otherwise, it can spread the disease to others. Maybe I will have to decide now."
Lawrence also looked at that scene and nodded, agreeing with Daniel's decision.
"Daniel, we must make this difficult decision and burn that body ourselves."
Both Daniel and Lawrence started moving towards him after seeing him. That boy often came to them with his grandmother's body to ask for their help.
But who can bring the dead back, so Daniel had asked him to give him the last autumn with great love, keeping an eye on its sentiment, but the boy was still not listening to him.
And now, if this spreads the disease to others, Daniel must decide for himself.
"We cannot put the life of others in danger for the sake of one's feelings."
Both of them quickly started going towards him, and as soon as he approached, Roy put his foot on the boy's head.
"How dare you even touch me."
Roy's red eyes started to glow.
'No, not again, please.'
All of them stood there only after hearing Roy's voice.
Keeping his foot on his head, Roy started applying downward pressure.
"How dare you even bring this garbage in front of me, thinking that I will give mercy on you, filth."
Seeing Roy speaking like this, Hugh was trying to stop him.
"Roy, I think you-"
Saying Hugh, Roy's eyes went towards Hugh.
"Don't speak in my midst, or else I will make your condition like this garbage."
Roy's red eyes were glowing as if threatening to kill Hugh.
Hugh also got a little scared as soon as Roy spoke.
After looking at Hugh, Roy started looking at the boy again.
"She's not a garbage; she's my grandmother."
The boy, despite being in such a condition, was forbidding Roy from calling his grandmother garbage.
"She is garbage; no, she is worse than garbage now. A small intellect like yours does not know what to do with the garbage."
Roy was putting more pressure on the boy's head with his foot, and that boy was then asking Roy to speak appropriately.
"Don't use your filthy language to refer to my grandmother. She's not garbage."
Keeping Roy's feet on the boy's head, the three people who had come with him bowed down and asked Roy to leave the boy.
"Young master, forgive him; we'll just take this body."
"Yes, Young Master, this was the only last member in his house, please understand. He is unable to understand the situation because of his sorrow."
"Young Master, Garrett is very nice; he always helps others; please forgive him."
A man, a woman with him who appeared to be his wife, and a girl as old as a boy who appeared to be their daughter were all asking Roy to forgive Garrett.
Everyone present there was watching this scene, and Amelia was also standing away watching this scene.
'What are you doing? You are not this type of person.'
Your tongue is dirty, but you are pure in heart, so why? Why are you doing this?
Roy was putting his foot on the boy Garrett's head, and blood started coming from his mouth too. The three were asking him to leave Garrett; he was not listening to them either.
'No, it's my illusion; it's not true
Amelia's eyes started to water.
"If you don't know what you do with the garbage, then I will show you what you do with the garbage."
Roy started pointing his hand towards that body.
'No, stop. Why? why are you doing this
Amelia closed her eyes and closed her ears. Despite it being true, she wants to consider it all to be a lie. She wants it to turn out to be a lie.
"Flame"
As soon as Roy said, the stream of fire started coming out of his hands. And went and started burning that body.
"Grandma!!!"
The boy had started going towards that fire, but due to Roy's foot on his head, he could not go.
Seeing this form of Roy, everyone stood behind in fear. He did not dare to go to Roy.
Daniel and Lawrence were also watching this in amazement, and Amelia looked at it as if the ground had come out from under her teeth. Her tears started flowing.
'why?'
Roy's magic started burning her whole body, and the boy's tears also started coming out; he was rushing to stop that fire. But Roy was not taking his leg from his forehead and smirked in the face.
"You must be feeling happy; haven't you seen a filth being reduced from this world."
Roy was making fun of that boy, and the boy was looking at Roy angrily.
"I'll kill you!!"
The boy was looking at Roy in the trench with tears.
"You will kill me? You will not be equal to the top of my toe; you should be glad that you got a chance to see a noble using magic."
Roy was making fun of that boy, and everyone was shocked to see Roy's cruelty; Hugh was also looking at Roy, but he could not gather the courage to calm Roy down at this time.
Seeing all this, Amelia started moving closer to Roy. And slowly, she was reaching close to Roy.
'why?'
Roy was moving his leg and pressing his head under the ground.
"You are so lucky that the commoner's family like you got a chance to go through the magic of a noble like me."
Amelia was just approaching Roy.
'why'
"You are happy today-"
Before Roy could finish his entire sentence, a loud slap came across his face.
"A-Amelia, this–"
Hugh was also surprised to see this; the slap was so firm that his voice was audible to everyone.
Roy kept his hand on his face and looked at the person who hit the slap; he was not saying anything.
Standing beside him was Amelia, who had tears in her eyes; she was looking at Roy.
'Why did you break my expectation in this way. I came to-'
Amelia's tears began to flow, and Roy was looking at Amelia.
It happened back again. I had no control over my body, and after saying all this, I can now control my body freely.
Roy stood in front of Amelia and looked at Amelia's face.
Now I don't even need to understand what Amelia would want to say because I believe the same thing now.
That dead body was burnt entirely, and everyone looked at Roy and Amelia. Everyone was getting scared of Roy. And they were more than surprised by Amelia's behaviour.
Roy was looking at Amelia without saying a word. And he was calm, and there was resentment and anger on Amelia's face.
But I do know one thing that what everyone must be thinking, and I also believe that-
'I hate Roy.'
