The princess of the Dragona Empire bought the loyalty of others, used them to the fullest, then resolutely threw them away when their utility value declined.
Gerard frowned at the notion, but on the other hand, there were things that he could understand.
‘If it was a human being, there might be room for criticism, but that woman is not even human in the first place…’
With that thought in mind, Gerard said to Iscal, who was trembling with his fists clenched.
“Now that you know a little bit about your situation, give up and wait for death. Sooner or later, everything will be over.”
“Now… for a moment! Wait a minute!”
The next moment, Iscal shouted urgently.
At his voice, which had completely lost its composure unlike just before, Gerard made an expression as if asking him to continue, and Iscal spoke to him in a desperate voice.
“I… I will give you information! Information that could be a great benefit to you…your country…Hangury’s future!”
“Oh…go on.”
Gerard reacted a bit to the word that it was information about the future of his country. In response, Iscal spoke to him in an urgent voice.
“Instead…promise me! Promise me you will save me if my information is useful. My information will definitely be worth it!”
“Um… ”
At those words, Gerard nodded slowly, and Iscal spoke to him in an urgent voice.
“You… the person you enshrine as a hero… that Bahamut. In fact, he is a servant of the White Dragon Princess like me! All that he helped you with was to hand this entire country over to the Dragona Empire!”
To be honest, this part was something he wanted to hide until the end. In some cases, there was no possibility that Bahamut could help him. However, the worst situation of being abandoned by the White Dragon Princess took away even the space he deserved.
But…
“Puh! Puhahahaha!!!”
The next moment, Gerard suddenly burst into cheerful laughter.
As a result, Iscal’s face began to look surprised and embarrassed, and Gerard looked at him with a mocking expression.
“Hahaha. No. You ba*tard… you mean you believed it all along? You’re a much more stupid person than I thought.”
“That…what…! No…no way…”
The next moment, a thought that came into his mind turned Iscal’s face completely ashen, and Gerard confirmed that terrible thought.
“Yes, it was all planned. From the beginning, Mr. Bahamut moved to trick you and lead this war to victory! According to common sense, if he really helped you, there would be no way the result would be like this!”
“Kuk!”
Just like that, Iscal suddenly noticed that he had been ensnared by the sweet bait in front of his eyes. However, he still had one more card left to play. A card he never wanted to use more than Bahamut, but… at the same time, in the current situation, it could deliver a fatal blow to the opponent.
‘Yeah… I’m going to die anyway, but I’m not going to die like this.’
In such despair, Iscal, biting his poisonous air, spoke in a cold voice.
“Then…do you know anything about Princess Leira?”
“… what?”
Gerard’s face suddenly stiffened when an unexpected name popped up. In response, Iscal said to him with a cold smile filled with despair.
“Princess Leira. That b!tch that your Hangurian king cherishes…do you even know what that b!tch has been doing!”
“Wha…what are you talking about?”
Gerard showed a markedly different reaction from the previous mention of Bahamut.
Looking at him, Iscal continued to speak in a voice full of ridicule.
“As expected, I guess you didn’t know at all, that innocent, gentle princess that you are so proud of. She was originally a servant of the White Dragon Princess like me.”
“What…bullsh!t!”
“It’s not bullsh!t. No matter how strong we are, what was the reason we were able to take root so easily in Hangury? It was all thanks to that b!tch, who had always been pushed aside by the crown prince. She was the one who helped us and sold out her country.”
“This… this ba*tard…”
“Actually, in my mansion, there are still piles of papers signed by that bitch. You can go and check it yourself if you want. See for yourself what an ugly figure your princess had!”
Iscal pushed Gerard, who was so bewildered, into a loud voice.
Gerard, with a shocked expression, immediately sent his subordinates to find out the truth.
And…
“You…who else knows about this?”
“Keke. Well? At least our master, the White Dragon Princess, would know. The rest is none of my business.”
The next moment, Iscal vomited blood from his mouth in tremendous pain. Looking down, he found Gerard’s sword stuck in his chest!
“This…this…”
With those final words, Iscal died painfully.
Looking at his lifeless body, Gerard automatically frowned.
‘This is quite the headache.’
