28 Example I

"That is... It's 3 days horse ride southeast from our territory, milord." Viena replied, still worried from my unwavered expression.

"Then, let us depart for them at once. Come, Wendel, I'll have you see the destruction of your entire foundation... The entirety of your family's riches."

I held the man's head once more and cast a recovery spell that healed most of the destroyed brain parts he have. Soon after, the man awaken from his dream and chose to be delusional once again.

"I-I... W-what have you done to me!!!"

"What a truly disappointing human. I will show you what will be done."

I grab ahold of the man's arm then flew directly towards the roof, breaking the wooden ceiling of the municipal hall.

I ascended to the sky, then finally saw the full view of my territory. And there was even a hint of the earlier battles.

"You have caused this..."

"S-so what?!!"

"You have caused my people's death..."

"And!!!?? What will you do!? I was given order to do exactly that! I have no obligation to remorse alongside with you!"

"Then, since you are captured, you know very well what's going to happen to you."

"W-what?"

I look at the man with a chilling gaze, this cause him to tremble in fear and face me with a terrified expression.

"Y-you!!! You can't kill me, I have the protection of the Willemson family!"

"Oh... That's surprising. Truly is."

Contrary to what I said, my expression remain fixed as I tried to locate the direction Viena has given me.

Southeast of my territory, 2 days of horse ride.

So it seems I have to travel around 100 kilometers.

"This is tiring."

I grasp a forceful hold to the man's arm, and throw him upward, then immediately held his collar.

"Just wish that this grip of mine is as strong as your resolve to live."

Then I started to fly towards the direction of the Topper territory, leaving the Pearson territory for the first time since I arrived in this world.

I didn't commit to a fast travel, a sonic speed, or a light speed travel. Why? Because I can't afford this man to die without even giving him a proper punishment that befits his already ruined morality.

And since I didn't do such thing, I was forced to hear a great number of complain from the man who has yet to finally realize his current situation. Forcing me to bear the great consequences of my action that I don't deserve.

His mouth is like a running boiler, unkept, then it will surely get louder by each time. However, unlike a boiler, his doesn't sound so alarming at all.

His face has long since lost its expression of dignity and was replaced by his usual which I met numerous time in my process of invading his memory.

Our travel also proved to be more challenging since the man is awake. Almost all of the time since we travel, he kept on moving in a reckless manner. If I were to even let my guard down, he will surely fall from above 24,000 feet.

"Hear this baron, if you ever try to kill me, the Willemson will make sure to destroy your people and burn them to the ground! Know that they will not show mercy to a fake God like you!"

Since we parted from the Pearson territory, whenever he tries to threaten me, I always hear the family of Willemson. And according to the lore, they are the supposed family of mine.

Even Herold, the former Ruler of Pearson, is a Willemson descendant that was the son of my sister and the former prince who was banished from his position as a royalty.

I heard they were strong, but not as strong as they were when my so called father was still the head of family. This is because of the humiliating war that the former prince started.

It was supposed to be a simple show off to try and win a favor from his family. But due to the lack of experience and poor logistic, they lost, despite completely monopolizing my territory.

Hmm... Now that I think about, I will have to give an example to that foolish man as well. And since this man can't shut his mouth, I might as well give him what he wants.

I just hope that I won't get lost in this foreign world.

I have finally arrived in the Topper territory. And once I saw it, I was not disappointed at all.

Below me is a small town that is well maintained by the family who rules this land.

Despite being a disgusting person, it seems his family did a great job running this small territory of theirs.

I can also see villagers from the horizon doing their very best to sustain their daily lives without care of foreign attacks.

They are completely clueless of what's going to happen. And that alone gave me a sense of guilt. What a truly great experience for the growth my personality. I am being sarcastic.

"So this is your homeland... Truly, a great sight to behold, isn't it?"

"What are you going to do?"

I gaze towards the source of the voice. Wendel, captain of the knight who is known for his corruption, asked me a natural question.

"What else?"

A sly grin spread across my face as I stare between the man and the peaceful town of his family.
