Subaru Natsuki, who returned from the new Three Kingdoms

Then Roswaal will never be able to achieve the origin in his lifetime.

no!

We must come up with a reasonable explanation to appease Subaru Natsuki.

At least you have to extricate yourself from the situation!

Although he felt uneasy, Roswaal still wore his usual smile.

"I received an emergency signal from the mansion and rushed back immediately."

That statement is, of course, a lie.

Before Reinhard appeared, Roswaal had been hiding in the sky above the mansion, clearly watching Capella enter Rem's room and Subaru Natsuki rush to rescue her.

He spread his hands, his tone becoming drawn out again.

"Seeing the Archbishop of Sin of the Witch Cult here, I was momentarily worried about your safety, and my attack was inevitably a bit too heavy-handed."

"Subaru, I'm only doing this because I care about you, and I wanted to save you..."

Roswaal's voice trailed off, sounding quite aggrieved.

If it were anyone else, even if they didn't believe Roswaal's lies, they wouldn't feel comfortable continuing to speak ill of him at this point.

Unfortunately for Roswaal, he was facing the Grand General Natsuki Subaru!

Natsuki Subaru crossed his arms and stared coldly at Roswaal, saying:

"Why did you stop talking? Please continue. How are you worried? How will you save me?"

Roswaal opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a moment.

The more Subaru saw him like this, the angrier he became.

His fists were clenched so tightly they cracked.

This clown is still pretending to be stupid!

The next moment, he grabbed Roswaal by the collar.

"Stop pretending with me!"

"You wrecked a perfectly good horse like this. You say you did this to save me, so I have to accept your kindness?"

Seeing Subaru's persistent attitude, Roswaal's smile finally froze.

They even resorted to the sob story tactic.

Nothing could sway Subaru Natsuki's anger.

Anyone with normal human emotions should be moved by this!

Is this guy in front of me a heartless devil?

Or did he really see through me?

Or perhaps both are possible?

In short, Roswaal has no idea how to end things now that things have developed to this point.

Shall we take action?

If we can't solve the problem, then let's solve the people who created it?

Stop messing around!

Leaving Reinhard aside.

He can't even handle the extreme speed that Natsuki Subaru has shown so far.

He's not like Capela, a tank warrior who can quickly heal himself and has dragon scales protecting him.

He is a monk!

How many mages can defeat an assassin in a one-on-one fight?

If Subaru Natsuki were to cut him down with a single sword strike, then that would be a fatal blow...

Roswaal's breathing quickened, and he instinctively took a step back.

Considering whether to simply escape before everyone could react, and flee to the Sanctuary...

That way, if Subaru Natsuki catches up, he can use his own death to force Subaru to release the Sanctuary...

Liberate your teachers...

But the question is, can I really escape?

Seeing Natsuki Subaru's hands still gripping his collar, Roswaal felt increasingly uncertain.

If he can't escape, he'll really have nothing left...

"Release Lord Roswaal."

Just then, Ram's icy voice suddenly rang out.

She stood a few steps away, raising her hand with a gloomy expression.

A thin bamboo skewer was held between her fingers, its tip aimed at Subaru's throat.

A wisp of wind had already wrapped around the bamboo skewer, as if it would burst into the air at any moment.

This man had just saved Rem, and Ram was unwilling to immediately turn against him.

But no matter what, he was just a guest at the mansion.

Now she dares to grab the collar of her beloved Lord Roswaal?

This caused her to lose her temper instantly, and she no longer cared about the situation, roaring:

"Let go immediately."

"Ram will count to three. If the guest still does not release Lord Roswaal, Ram will personally calm the guest down."

The mighty Ram actually spoke up himself.

Even in his rage, Subaru Natsuki felt immense pressure, his mouth went dry, and he regretted not having a drink before dealing with Capella.

At the same time, his gaze toward Roswaal became even more contemptuous.

What a Roswaal! To send his noble servant to save him, he's no hero at all!

"one."

As soon as Ram uttered the first number, Reinhardt took a step forward and stood between Bamboo Skewer and Subaru Natsuki.

He did not draw his sword, but simply raised the scabbard and calmly looked at Ram.

"Miss Ram, please wait a moment."

"Lord Roswaal's actions certainly warrant explanation, but now is not the time to take action."

Ram did not lower his hand.

"Sister, no..." Rem quickly ran over to prevent Ram from doing anything that might hurt Subaru.

Rem pleaded for Ram's life, and Ram wavered for a moment, but finally steadied his hand.

The bamboo skewer, still separated by Reinhard, steadily points towards Subaru Natsuki.

Subaru, on the other hand, felt a significant reduction in the pressure from Ram thanks to Rem's support.

He thought to himself how wonderful it was to have a servant who was loyal to him.

This further solidified Subaru's determination to steal Rem from that bastard Roswaal and make her his personal servant!

The situation in the courtyard reached a stalemate for a moment.

Emilia looked at Roswaal, then at Capela, whose head was the only thing remaining in the pit, her expression blank.

Ram realized that she had acted rashly, but it was too late to do anything about it now; putting down the bamboo skewers would only make the situation more out of control.

Reinhard looked calmly at Ram, confident that Subaru would be alright as long as he stood there.

Roswaal looked at Reinhard blocking his way, then glanced at Ram who still hadn't put down the bamboo skewer, and finally gave up the idea of ​​running away immediately.

Turning away now would only confirm Subaru Natsuki's suspicions.

He could dodge Subaru Natsuki, but he couldn't dodge the Sword Saint.

Now all he can do is... plead for mercy.

"Subaru, don't be angry. It's just a batch of mounts~ I can make up for any mount you want~"

"How's the earth dragon?"

"I can get you a priceless earth dragon with the most noble bloodline!"

"A thousand soldiers are easy to find, but a horse is hard to come by! How can your ordinary earth dragon compare to our Capela?"

Subaru Natsuki was not persuaded.

He's been mesmerized by Capella's dragon form for a week now; can any other mount ever make up for that?

Subaru Natsuki gripped Roswaal's collar tighter and tighter.

He really, really wants to punch this clown in the face!

But then he suddenly remembered something important!

A precious sword.

Roswaal still owes him a sword.

He had seen that sword in his last reincarnation!

Even Capella's incredibly tough dragon scales in his black dragon form were no different from tofu in front of that sword!

If Roswaal is damaged now, who will keep their promise?

A small leak will sink a great ship.

Once we have the sword, it won't be too late to settle the score with this scoundrel for injuring the horse.

After making a difficult decision, Natsuki Subaru finally loosened his grip on Roswaal's collar.

"Never mind."

He snorted coldly.

"Considering you're fairly honest, we'll discuss this later."

Subaru Natsuki deliberately emphasized the word "loyal and honest".

Seeing this, Roswaal felt no relief whatsoever.

He knew all too well what Subaru Natsuki was doing right now.

Just a moment ago they were furious, but in the blink of an eye they can suppress all their anger.

This is a sign of shrewdness and deep calculation!

Subaru Natsuki had indeed become suspicious.

But he chose to remain silent for the time being, which must mean he was planning something even deeper.

"Subaru-kun~ I actually..." Roswaal wanted to try again.

Natsuki Subaru ignored his explanation.

He covered his still-bleeding chest with his right hand, but stretched his left hand out in front of Roswaal.

"A precious sword."

"what?"

"Give me the sword you promised me."

Roswaal's smile froze slightly.

He glanced at Reinhardt, who was not far away.

Reinhard maintained his gentle smile, but his gaze remained thoughtfully fixed on him, his right hand never leaving the hilt of the Dragon Sword.

When he turned his head again, Natsuki Subaru was glaring at him.

The look in his eyes seemed to suggest he wanted to devour him alive on the spot.
