“Experience it once, and you’ll know. Insignificant beings like you can’t be opponents. No matter how much you fly or crawl, weak creatures like you can’t make it. That’s your inherent limit.”
Strength entered the foot that stepped on Hibido. Hibido gasped for breath, screaming in pain. But Vita didn’t stop.
“Weak, stupid, and all you know is whining like insects coming out. Pitiful creatures like you should have disappeared and vanished from the wild a long time ago.”
The expressions of the surrounding beastmen also hardened. Vita was speaking of the unspoken discrimination and limitations among the beastmen.
“Under strong beastmen like me, you should just bow if told to bow, and kneel if told to kneel. That’s the meaning of your existence.”
What kind of nonsense!
I was infuriated, and my head felt hot.
Vita’s words were insulting and arrogant.
Perhaps the weak beastmen listening to this would all be thinking the same as me right now.
But even so, it’s frightening to step forward willingly.
I wanted to refute, but the current me was in no condition.
But I’m not like that. I’m not afraid of that arrogant eagle guy.
“Hey, you jerk!”
I ran and pushed Vita’s body. Of course, I wasn’t able to push him, but fortunately, I got away from Hibido.
“What? Erijya?”
“Later, you’ll become a bald eagle from hair loss!”
I grabbed a handful of grapes from the nearby tray.
Then I threw them at Vita.
Thump.
The grape hit Vita’s chest and fell to the floor with a thud. A few fallen grapes rolled around, leaving grape stains on his clothes.
A stormy silence filled the air.
Vita bent down to pick up the grapes. In his hands, the grapes instantly crushed, and purple juice flowed down his arm.
Is that my future?
Am I becoming juice?
Vita slowly approached, step by step.
Uh? What do I do now?
I didn’t intend to provoke him this much. Well, I have Idriesh, a reliable supporter, so I stepped forward believing in that.
But come to think of it, Idriesh hasn’t come yet?
Oh, where is Terminus? Terminus? Where are you?
I looked around desperately, but for some reason, I couldn’t see Terminus.
I’m doomed.
As Vita approached, the front became pitch black.
Vita took a dagger from his waist.
A weapon? It was against the rules to bring weapons here.
But Vita didn’t care about such things.
Oh, what do I do now?
As Vita approached, he raised the knife high.
Aah!
I cowered.
It would hurt if he stabbed me. Could I die? I don’t want to die. Please, anyone, help!
A short carriage passed by.
Hehe, I was going to grow grapes properly next year. I couldn’t even see the big rodeo. Didn’t get to see the child I supported become an adult.
If I’m not there, will Idriesh go back to being a villain? I hope not.
My thoughts grew longer.
Strange. It’s already the time left after being attacked, but?
I opened my eyes slightly.
Somehow my body felt heavy.
Oddly, in front of me, Vita stood still, holding the knife, frozen like a mud doll. His face seemed uncomfortable as if wriggling.
Not only that, other people also stopped simultaneously, frowning, and I couldn’t move freely either.
Others seemed not to know what this unpleasant and oppressive sensation was, but I knew.
‘Idriesh has come.’
Kiik.
The doors of the banquet hall slowly opened.
Bathed in light, he walked in. All the lights seemed to be directed toward him.
Amidst the stiffened crowd, Idriesh strode through. People could barely move their pupils to see him.
Some, upon seeing Idriesh, immediately recognized who he was and couldn’t help but be astonished, while others, unfamiliar with Idriesh, were perplexed.
Idriesh came straight to me.
He calmly touched my cheek and turned away. His sturdy back completely concealed Vita from my sight. In an instant, the fear subsided.
With Idriesh’s appearance, there was a sense of relief that everything would be resolved.
The atmospheric pressure eased. People took deep breaths.
Some murmured, asking their neighbors what had just happened, who the author was, but those who knew his identity found it difficult to answer.
“Who are you?”
Vita’s face was stern.
It was different from when he faced me and Hibido a while ago.
Even instinctively, Vita felt that Idriesh was as hostile as himself, or even stronger.
Idriesh didn’t respond. However, it was Vita who became restless.
“No way…”
Vita mumbled.
“The only legitimate king of Derode.”
Idriesh’s low voice resounded powerfully throughout the banquet hall.
“Idriesh Artigra.”
Sounds of inhaling breaths echoed throughout the hall.
