Chapter 53: Hero Returns

"Catch!"

"Hee hee hee!"

At Hazel's command, the soldiers of Butler's estate rushed at Talion.

But Talion is still a divine beast.

The soldiers of the Territory were being blown away by Talion, who rebelled wildly, and I just watched.

The only thing I allowed Hazel to do was take off Talion's horn.

That is why he said that he had no intention of cutting off Talion's horns with his own hands.

"I-I… I will try."

Hazel saw the helpless soldiers and stepped forward herself.

The night before, I had preached quite a few sermons to Hazel, and maybe Hazel's behavior was caused by that sermon.

Hazel D. Butler.

In her previous life, I thought of her as a stupid woman who only cared about her own comfort, but her reality is a bit different.

In fact, Hazel, who was born in a shopping district, was not a bad brain.

It would be more accurate to say that various circumstances made her a passive human being.

Hazel said that she was ordered by Geoffrey, the former Earl, to guard her Lloyd, and she was a woman who lived only thinking about that order to the point of foolishness.

'If that's stupid, then it's probably stupid.'

Maybe that kind of Hazel's appearance was similar to my previous life with her, where I was only focused on her goal of killing her demon lord, so I might have given her advice that didn't work for her.

"It is dangerous. The words are too harsh."

"It's okay. Those words sounded strangely friendly to me, so maybe I could."

I watched as Juan and Hazel, who commanded the soldiers, were having a conversation.

After persuading Juan, Hazel rolled up her arms and approached Talion with a confident look, and Talion stared at Hazel.

"Now, stay still! I'll take it off without pain."

"Hee-hee!"

But as Hazel approached, Talion twisted her body away from her side.

True to her story, Talion seemed unwilling to give her own body to Hazel, who had lost her virginity.

"Uh, what?"

In the end, what Hazel was looking for was me.

I saw Hazel like that and made her yawn, and Marianne, unable to see the situation, stepped forward.

"I will try."

Marian took a small dagger handed to her by a nearby soldier and began to slowly approach Talion.

"Talion, you are nice. Come on."

Marian was hiding her dagger behind her back, but the Talion guy started approaching her with a happy expression, unaware of her.

Marian came over to her and grabbed Talion by the neck as he stuck her head in, and she plunged the dagger right into her bastard's horn.

With a snap, the tip of her horn was cut off and fell to the floor, but Talion was busy wagging her tail as if he were just content with Marianne hugging him.

"That's Okay!"

Marianne shouted, picking up Talion's horn that had fallen to her floor.

Realizing that his horn had been cut off, Talion let out a plaintive cry, but no one paid any attention to it.

'Well, it's fine if I'm happy, even for a moment.'

Still, I, the owner, was the only one who had only a tiny bit of interest in Talion's pain.

**

"Ugh."

To me, it was just a moving maiden detector, but Shinsoo was definitely Shinsoo.

As soon as he powdered Talion's horn and applied it, Lloyd's wounds were seen to regenerate.

Its efficacy was a recovery speed similar to the immortality power given to me by the goddess, so I raised the value of Talion very slightly.

"Lloyd, are you out of your mind?"

As the little boy regained consciousness, holding onto his stomach, Hazel jumped at him and asked.

Seeing her shed tears, anyone could think that Hazel was the bastard's biological mother.

Juan, this bald guy, turned around and wiped away his tears.

A truly magical party.

And, of course, the one who reached the climax of the party was little Lloyd.

"You son of a bitch! Do you know how much I hurt because of you?"

The efficacy of the unicorn horn was beyond what I thought.

I must have fully recovered in that short time, and the little guy rushed at me.

I dodged the little boy with a troubled expression, and thanks to that, he lost his balance and had to roll beautifully on the floor.

"Lloyd!"

Hazel shouted to stop Lloyd, but the guy, whose pride was hurt as he stomped on the floor unseemly, found that his brakes were broken.

I waited for Lloyd to approach, estimating how strong he would be to keep him from dying.

Match-.

Hazel's movements were a bit faster than mine.

"Uh, Mom?"

Lloyd, who had been slapped on the cheek by Hazel, muttered that with an expression of disbelief.

The night before, she told Hazel about the affair between me and the ghetto old man, but I didn't expect her to change so quickly, so I looked at Hazel with a slightly surprised expression.

"What kind of rudeness is this? Lloyd, apologize to the hero right away."

"Shi, I hate it."

"I don't like children who have no manners. Lloyd, you don't want to see my face again, do you?"

Was it because of Hazel's completely changed attitude toward her?

Lloyd's face turned white.

"I'm sorry."

In the end, the little one couldn't beat Hazel and began to bow her head at me, even as her tears were dripping with her resentment on her face.

Of course, I didn't think that that one apology had changed the little guy.

However, since Hazel has changed, I just thought that the little boy would change little by little.

"Juan, please check the damage in the castle. And the refugees are treated the same as the existing Imperial citizens. We need at least one more hand now."

Hazel started giving orders to Juan and other soldiers with her pretty smart attitude.

Looking at her like that, she thought it would be okay for her to go home now.

Hazel was still clumsy in many parts, but there was no more trash like Charlie left by her side.

"What kind of magic did you use?"

Seeing Hazel's completely different attitude from the previous day, Marian asked me with a puzzled expression.

But to me, Marian's question only felt cunning.

That was also because Marianne, as usual, was watching what Hazel and I were doing and what conversations she was having yesterday.

Perhaps it was also because she had heard Hazel's story the night before that Marian changed her attitude and cut off her Talion's horn herself.

'Look at the dark circles.'

I just shrugged her shoulders as I looked at Marianne, whose eyes were full of fatigue, probably because she had missed the night.

It was because she knew everything anyway, so she didn't have to tune in to Marianne, who was asking her questions about her.

'Has Lilith returned?'

I looked around the castle, where the demon army had completely escaped, and thought of the succubus queen.

In her previous life, she had only been seen as a nuisance, but she was a more capable demon than I thought, and she seemed to have something to use often in the future.

She thought she would come, since after her work with Lilith, she had decided to go to bed, but she didn't seem to be right away.

'Well, he'll find it on his own.'

I approached Talion after feeling that my business at the Butler Manor was completely over.

As soon as he saw me, the guy whose horns were cut suddenly raised his spirits, but when he saw Marianne, who had cut off his horns, he started wagging her tail.

'Crazy guy.'

I grabbed Tallian's reins and jumped on his back.

I felt a bit of rebellion but completed the suppression with one life.

"Come on, Marian. It's time to go back."

I stretched out her hand for Marian, and Marian smiled broadly and took her hand in mine.

Although he still had a little bit of a lingering attachment to a woman named Hazel,.

'I'll see you again soon.'

Anyway, the war with the demon king's army had just begun, and there would be something to meet again with Hazel, who had started to take charge of a territory.

"Yo, hero!!"

I saw Hazel running towards me from a distance, but I kicked Talion in the waist without hesitation and started to leave the castle.

**

"Good job, warrior."

Upon returning to the capital, I was immediately escorted to the imperial palace and had an audience with the emperor in Daejeon.

The emperor, who was sitting in a luxurious chair, said that to me with an expressionless face and left the palace.

If there was anything different from before, it was that Mary, the princess, was next to the emperor.

Mary looked at me with a look that she had a lot to explain, and she gave me a sneak peek and left Daejeon helping the emperor, who had trouble walking.

"You did a very, very good job. Warrior."

As I stood still in the Great War, where the Emperor had escaped, Crown Prince Aaron approached me and said so.

Of course, it wasn't a literal meaning; it was an expression close to irony.

I frowned when I realized that neither the Emperor nor the Crown Prince were dissatisfied with me for saving the Butler estate.

"I stopped the demon king's army, but I didn't know that I would be treated like this, if not with hospitality."

"Ha, who told you to defeat the demon king? Or, did the goddess give another oracle?"

I could see the remaining nobles in the Great War laughing at the words of Crown Prince Aaron.

As soon as I returned, I felt my head getting colder little by little as I saw Aaron arguing with me.

'Should I just kill him?'
