E - Rank Hero In Another World
Chapter 36 - Reality
'Braa!!'
The big door in the castle opened very hard. What was behind it were dozens of soldiers who had come due to hearing the many voices and shouts within the castle.
A moment after they saw this situation....
"W-what just happened?! Miss Reina?! What's going on?!" Ask one of the Warrior Commanders.
At that time, Reina could have lied and said there were Devils or monsters. Save yourself from trouble. But nevertheless....
"I killed them. They are more dangerous trash than devils." Reina said as she walked slowly towards the Warrior.
His right hand dragged the iron sword filled with blood across the floor. His left hand was helpless.
His footsteps began to slow down.
His face looks so exhausted. Even so, Reina walked in with an attitude ready to fight anything that would stand in her way.
Overpowered by the confusion, those Soldiers could only fall silent. Letting Reina pass by.
At first, they were still confused as to what should be done.
On one hand, Reina was an adventurer who contributed greatly to this Maelfall region. Even the idol of the commander as well as his role model. But on the other side....
"Quick find Earl Barlor's whereabouts!" Commandant of the army.
Instantly, the entire army moved and began to search for his whereabouts.
A few minutes passed with the soldiers continuing to inspect the various rooms and bodies lying on the ground. Until finally....
"Commander! We've discovered Earl Barlor's whereabouts. But...."
The commander approached and saw what the soldier meant.
What was in front of him, was the figure of Earl Barlor with his head that had been crushed to pieces by a large enough stone. Of course his life could not be saved.
Seeing that....
"Command the whole army. Arrest Reina. No matter how great his service, He has killed a Sovereign." Said the Commander while clenching both of his hands.
He didn't want to do it at all.
He didn't want to believe it at all.
But what lies before him is reality. It's not a matter of believing or not. And as one of the higher-ups in this city....
"By soon, Commander!" Reply to the Soldier where He immediately spreads the command to the other Soldier.
Everything ran neatly. Their goal was only one, which was to capture that figure named Reina.
Amidst his solitude within this blood-stained castle, the Commander just stood silently watching the figure of his Master.
"Miss Reina.... Why are you doing this? What did Earl Barlor do until you killed him?" Ask the Commander because he knows nothing.
......***......
Reina was walking in the middle of the city. His feet that were covered with wounds were no longer able to move properly. With her left foot as the main pedestal, Reina dragged her right foot along with that one-handed sword.
His eyes looked so exhausted that they could faint at any moment.
His body that was filled with blood gave off quite a piercing smell in all directions. Including making everyone who had previously been so praiseworthy, now began to drift away.
No one helped him. Not even a single person approached him.
Where were those who previously wanted to shake hands with him?
Where were those who had previously begged to be able to fight with him?
Where are those who have said they will always support him?
They all just disappeared. Every now and then, Reina looked at the gazes of the citizens of this City to her.
What you see is very clear. It was a gaze filled with fear and disgust. What's more....
"Everything! Reina is a traitor in this town! He just killed Earl Barlor! Whoever saw it, help us catch it!" Shouted a soldier with the help of a hardening magic.
There was not a single person who did not hear the Soldier's cry in this City.
And the result of that scream....
'Bruck!'
'Fmr!'
'Scoop!'
Fruit, wood, stone, and anything near them. Everything started to be thrown at them.
Some people even ran because they were scared of Reina. It was because there was not a single person who did not know about his strength in this region.
The others ran to find the Soldier and tell them the location of Reina's whereabouts.
"Basic traitor!"
"So this was your plan all along?! To kill the Landlord?!"
"Just kill you!"
"Go to hell!"
"Use that sword to kill yourself!"
"Someone! Call the adventurer to kill him!"
Various kinds of shouts and blasphemies began to be directed at the figure of the girl. A girl who only fights to protect herself.
Is all that wrong?
Should He give up?
No. gabe.... He thought about it well. There would be no point in regretting it right now.
Even so, Reina could only stare at the ground with a faint smile.
'Is this my reward for everything I've done so far? The humans.... It's easy to change, huh?' Reina thought in her heart while trying to keep smiling.
The pain all over his body started to numb him.
Without realizing it, the water began to wash over his face. A little rinsing his face from the blood.
Reina kept trying to walk, leaving this City. But, he has heard it. He has seen it.
A line of soldiers with thick shields and spears in his right hand. They had surrounded themselves in the middle of these streets.
There was no way out for him. Even the dozens of archers standing on top of the building were ready to fire their arrows at any moment.
Behind all that, the figure of an army commander is seen walking through the ranks of the troops.
"Reina's. You have made a terrible mistake by killing one of the nobles, even more so an Earl.
In accordance with the rules of the human kingdom, we will sentence you to life imprisonment, or the death penalty right now if you refuse to cooperate." Clearly the Commander was putting on a very serious face.
His right hand held his sword tightly. Prepare to kill Reina with his own hands right now if He refuses.
The answer from Reina?
"I have no regrets at all, and will never regret it forever. Just kill me if you can." Reina said in such a soft voice.
His power is running out. Standing up was very difficult for him.
Hear that answer....
"Miss Reina. We all know how strong you are. But look at your condition? You can't even lift your sword. Do you think you can fight 500 soldiers alone with that condition? You're even having trouble facing 40 people, aren't you?
Work with me. I don't want to see you die in vain like this when humanity needs as many great people as you can. I'll find a way to free you." Whisper the Commander after closing in on Reina.
Hearing that, Reina actually felt that there was a hint of hope in this situation. But nevertheless.... He can't believe it.
As soon as her life was within their grasp, coupled with her helpless self, Reina had no idea what they were going to do.
