Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1180. Benzel! Don’t do anything you’ll regret!

next day.

Viscount Camilo Kusman, the commander of the Knights, called Benzel to his office.

As soon as Benzel saw the knight commander, he said as if he felt unfair.

“Captain William did nothing wrong. Rather, he did the wrong thing. If it hadn’t been for William, I would have drawn the sword.”

“Even if you did, the results would not have changed.”

“Captain! William and I are also ordained knights. A knight can do that much! The investigation must have been completed last night, so why are you still not releasing it?”

“It is not that simple.”

“What’s complicated? All William said was when he saw the task force driver harassing me.”

“Did you even pull out the knife?”

“The opponent chose first, so William had no choice but to respond. Check with the other people in the tavern.”

“I checked. They say that William started the fight with the task force driver.”

“It is a lie!”

“Even if it looked like that in their eyes, the task force must have tried their hand. The important thing is that the investigation turned out that way.”

“So what? What will you do with William?”

“Not only can you be disqualified from being a knight, but you can also be hanged.”

“Nonsense. Are you saying you’re going to kill a knight for false testimony? Is that what honorable knights serving the emperor do?”

At that moment, the knight commander hit the table with all his might.

Boom!

“Benzel! Don’t make fun of your mouth! The opponent is the special task force of the Inspection Department. Do you think it would be difficult to kill one or two knights appointed by them?”

“…”

Benzel trembled, but couldn’t refute.

In fact, it was because even the great nobles in the center had that much power. Not to mention the special task force of the Inspection Department.

It is possible to make and kill even an innocent crime, but in this case, even a witness has been secured.

William’s fate was in the hands of the task force.

The knight commander, who was staring at Benzel in despair, suddenly asked.

“What is your relationship with William?”

“I’m a year senior at the Knight Academy.”

“Is that all?”

“Is that all there is to it? no. He was a very righteous knight.”

Knight Commander Camilo Kusman was relieved that the relationship between the two was not between a man and a woman.

If it had happened, it would have ended very tragically.

“There is one way to save William.”

“What is it?”

“You just need to become His Excellency’s lover. If so, William’s disgrace can be forgiven. Because William was out to protect the honor of the Marquis. At that time, it would be forgiven even if he drew his sword against the viscount rather than the baron. Do you know what I mean?”

“…”

Unexpectedly, Benzel didn’t say anything for a while.

After a while, Benzel opened his mouth.

“Are you pretending to be lovers? Are we supposed to be real lovers?”

“Yes, of course it is real. It is an opportunity to become a woman of the Grand Duke of Knauf. Do you think there are only one or two aristocratic families aiming for that position? Even for you…”

“Are you asking me to become one of the many women the Marquis passed through?”

“The Marquis doesn’t just throw away the woman he’s drunk. You pay the price you deserve. Whether it’s money or a title, whatever the other person wants. Women related to the Marquis also draw attention from social circles. Are you going to refuse a position that could bring you great benefits?”

“Selling yourself for money and a title? How is that different from a prostitute? Are you asking me to become a prostitute? Knight Commander?”

The head of the knights, who was startled, let out a long breath and calmed the fever.

“William stood out for you, was arrested and awaits hanging. Could you be the Marquis’s lover for him and yourself?”

“no. If I become a prostitute for William, he will be ashamed.”

“You are… quite a selfish person.”

“Aren’t you ashamed to say that a person who refuses to become a prostitute is selfish? Do I have to tell you who is selfish?”

The knight commander suppressed his boiling anger and once again tried to persuade.

“The Archduchess of Knauf is the pillar that supports the empire. It’s the only family that doesn’t have to disarm when meeting the Emperor. As a woman, it is an honor to receive the Grand Duchess of Knauf. Do you know how many noble ladies are aiming for the position you say is a courtesan?”

It was true.

In order to obtain the ‘vision’ and ‘talent’ of the Grand Duke of Knauf, the nobles of the empire offered their daughters to the marquis.

“Don’t think of me as a noble like you. Captain, can you abandon your wife for a higher title?”

“Shut up! How dare you make such a foolish statement in front of anyone! I will ask you one last time. Will you accept the courtship of the Marquis? Or are you going to let William die like this? If you accept the courtship of the Marquis, I will register you as my daughter. What are you going to do?”

The Knight Commander thought Benzel would accept this time.

But Benzel did not give up.

“I refuse.”

“Benzel! Don’t do anything you’ll regret!”

“Do you regret abandoning my mother, Captain?”

“I have no regrets. Your mother and I live in different worlds.”

“I will not regret it either. The world I live in is also different from the leader.”

“What is different? If you get a title, you will become a noble too, right?”

“I live according to my convictions, but the leader comes and goes.”

Viscount Camilo Kusman frowned at the meaningful accusation.

“ha! benzel. You don’t know what kind of people the great nobles are. If you end up hurting their pride like that… eventually William will die in your place. Do you really want William hanged?”

“I told you. I will never become a prostitute for anyone. Even if the captain’s life is at stake, my determination will not change.”

“You are the only one who calls His Excellency’s woman a prostitute.”

“If you give your body for something in return without love, that is a whore.”

Viscount Camilo Kusman, who shook his head excitedly, waved his hand.

“good.”

Benzel bowed his head to the knight commander and then turned around and left.

Benzel, who had left the office, stood still for a while and did not move.

The words are hard, but the heart is not like that.

However, no matter how he thought about it, it was not him who was wrong, but the knight commander.

Becoming the woman of an unwanted marquis in order to save William?

I came all the way here with the determination to become an honorable knight, but to be invited to do something only prostitutes would do!

‘That’s also from the person who is the captain and father of the knights…’

It feels like all the efforts he’s made so far to become a knight have been denied.

***

Sea area of the horse.

When the port of Hades was noisy with William’s arrest, the magic sailboat was quietly roaming the demonic waters.

It was already the third voyage, so the crew and Elio were all calm.

In particular, unlike before, Elio did not fret despite the good weather.

Maybe that’s why the expressions of the sailors coming and going on the deck were also soft.

When you empty your mind, things you wish for often happen.

After reaching Top Castle, Wright could not bear the hunger and dozed off.

Even if it wasn’t so, I didn’t even try to wake up because Light decided to doze off.

Light, who had fallen asleep sweetly, opened his eyes with a strange feeling.

I opened my eyes to the eerie feeling of being watched by someone, but no one was there.

‘ah! fuck! It’s a surprise!’

Looking down, it seemed that the northern nobles were still under the canopy.

Something caught his eye as he swept his chest.

There was a black dot on the horizon.

The experienced man immediately recognized that the black dots were dark clouds.

It was a precursor to the long-awaited change in weather.

Heaven helped.

If I had slept for another five minutes, the other crew would have noticed first.

He looked down and shouted out loud.

“It’s a dark cloud at 3 o’clock!”

The sailors, who were walking slowly, shouted ‘It’s a dark cloud!’ and ran around.

In preparation for strong winds, they untied the sail lines and tied up items that might fall into the sea.

Elio’s face, which had been calm, became lively.

“Yah! How old is this dark cloud?”

“It’s not been a while since Viscount, it’s the first time we’ve been to the sea.”

Fabian, who was looking at the dark clouds with a nervous face, made a sound.

“Oh yeah? Why do I think I’ve seen it before?”

“All I saw before was fog.”

Captain Althelm turned the prow toward the dark clouds for the northern nobles.

When sailing, you often encounter dark clouds.

Dark clouds are not avoided by avoiding them – when the routes coincide – there were times when we jumped in without avoiding them like now.

“How does the scale of Delos look?”

“It is great. Are you leaving tomorrow morning?”

“Ask all but the essentials to go inside. If you fall into the sea for no reason, you won’t even get a corpse.”

“All right. What about the northern nobles?”

“Leave it alone. They will figure it out.”

Delos ran out of the wheelhouse without delay.

After a while, the sailors on the deck went inside and only Elio and his party remained.

Elio said as Fabian removed the awning.

“Fabian, you go inside with the Count.”

“yes.”

Fabian refused to stay.

It was the same for the sword master, Count Larva Omar.

As we got closer to the dark clouds, the wind got stronger and the waves got rougher.

Count Omar, who has lived on land all his life, was afraid of the wild sea.

Fabian and Count Omar of Larva had to hold on to each other and walk precariously as the deck was tilted by the big waves.

Elio moved to the side of the mast, grabbed the pole with one hand, and stared into the sea.

Thinking that there was a star somewhere in this roaring sea made my blood boil.

Finally, the magic sailboat went into the dark clouds.

Shoot aaaaaaaaaaa!

Wheein-!

slam-! slam-!

Rain, wind, and waves hit the magic sailboat without rest.

The magic sailboat floated like a leaf in the stormy dark sea.

Captain Althelm held the rudder with both hands and kept his eyes on the waves.

Right now, I had to focus on surviving, whether it was the sky star or whatever.

Althelm sometimes conforms to the waves and sometimes fights against them.

The waves were so high that they crashed over the deck without stopping.

Even worse, he shouted at the helmsman Dilos.

“There will be no need to raise sails! Send all the crew inside!”

“yes!”

At the command of the captain, Dilos was thrown out again.

The sailors who held on to the sail line moved inside one by one.

Finally, as Dilos was about to turn, the boat suddenly tipped to one side.

In an instant, Dilos’ body floated up into the air and then plunged into the sea.

It really happened in an instant.

‘Ah!’ An exclamation flowed out.

Wouldn’t it be a calm sea?

Falling into the sea in a storm meant death.

that’s when

Elio, who remained on deck, grabbed the rope and ran forward.

Soon after, he leaped into the air and threw the rope he was holding.

Whiririk-.

A rope that flew in a straight line entwined Delos floating on the sea.

Elio snapped his hand, and Dilos’ body floated into the air.

Elio, who had fished up Delos, stepped on the air and returned to the deck.
