Chapter 133 Trouble Is Brewing Again

(Erens PoV)

Hey, boss One of my subordinates called out to me with this unfinished sentence. I already knew what he wanted to say, but I shivered from even thinking about hearing it, so I didnt reply.

A loud sound of something being hit echoed from outside.

Lets think about this carefully. Theres surely a mistake somewhere. Why would I be made king as a reward for my work so far? I dont want that and I dont even know if she means making me Hermagnes king or making an independent country of our own Nonetheless, both propositions are equally absurd.

The sound of something resembling an explosion echoed from outside.

I mean, how would we even become independent? Theres no way that the nobility of Hermagne would let us easily move away, and lets not even think about how absurd it would be for me to become Hermagnes king.

Moreover, Im already overwhelmed by the work I currently have as a lord, I cant even imagine how Id find time to sleep as a king.

There was a sound of something being dragged coming from outside.

At the very least, the fact that wed still be together with Belzenstock regardless of what happens is a bit of a relief, as I have no idea how wed be able to manage if we were cut away from the resources that come from the port.

The sound of something breaking came from outside

They may have that weird religion of theirs, but theyre still very important for the kingdom, no matter if they were slaves in the past or not.

A thunderous roaring sound from outside

Also, them having a close connection to one of the Order gods surely helps them quite a bit, being their allies is very beneficial.

Something was being hit over and over again outside

Not to mention how the port can make trade with the Empire, which can be risky, but also quite beneficial due to how unstable they are.

I dont even know what this sound is anymore! How am I supposed to focus and try thinking about our current situation like this!? Just what kind of hellish magic is she practicing in the courtyard!? Why cant she have at least a minimum of common sense!?

Boss My subordinate called out to me again.

I know, I know, I just Wanted to avoid actually seeing it. I replied. I just didnt want to look out the window and face the reality in front of me.

I understand, but My henchman started saying, but I cut him off.

We dont have any special training scheduled for today, do we? I asked. I mean, it would be easy to understand those noises if the men were all practicing hard

Theres no training scheduled, boss My subordinates expression was a bit troubled.

Maybe were testing some magical tools? I asked him before he could finish.

Boss No tests. His expression was pitying me now.

And we dont happen to be under attack, right? I asked Because being attacked would certainly be better than the alternative justification that explains this current mess.

You know that Rena is the only outsider inside the mansion right now My henchman replied. I gotta appreciate that he at least kept up with me as I made those absurd questions whose answers we both knew in advance.

I sighed, I really cant escape reality anymore now, can I? I asked him.

Yeah, sorry boss Was his answer.

Truly Why does she have to be like this? I sighed once more, got up, then slowly moved towards the window Each step was harder to make than the last I didnt want to see it. I didnt want to see what she did to what was supposed to be our courtyard.

My breathing was rough, my head was aching, my body felt heavy But I reached the window. I saw what she was doing with my own eyes

From the third floor, I looked downwards at the courtyard which was surprisingly still standing In the middle of it, was that monstrous woman mounted on top of a strange thing It was like a horse, but it had no head And instead of legs, it had two wheels I couldnt even dare to imagine what that thing could possibly be.

That woman saw me staring and waved before moving around in that strange thing Whatever it is.

I gave up on understanding and sat down, sighing in relief At least we still have a courtyard.
