The Villainous Noble Who Kept Rewinding After Death: The Story Somehow Changed When I Committed Suicide

Chapter 239: Unleashing Fangs

It had been just over a week since Kamael and the others arrived at the village of Nalon.

While waiting for Mashuri, who still hadn’t brought any evidence, they were passing the time by maintaining their weapons and practicing magic since there was nothing else to do.

“It’s taking too long.”

“Seriously. I wonder if she ran away.”

“That’s impossible. I’m controlling her with my magic, so she won’t betray us. Maybe she’s just hiding the evidence in some troublesome place.”

“I’m also keeping an eye on her using animals just in case, and it seems she’s trying to fulfill her role. However, it’s tight security since it’s a state secret. Plus, there’s other assassins watching her, so it looks like she can’t find the right timing.”

“Then there’s nothing we can do. Fiera, can you hold on a bit longer?”

“No way. I think it’s fine to just kill them all. If we’re going to kill everyone in the castle anyway, going now wouldn’t change a thing. I just want to see El. El… El… El…”

Maybe patience was wearing thin; recently, Fiera’s murderous intent was leaking out without her trying to hide it, to the point where Kamael needed to use magic to conceal it so the building wouldn’t detect her instability.

The one silver lining was that Lewis, who seemed to be bored, had been in touch with Fiera every night, so despite her restlessness, she hadn’t taken action until now.

However, a few days ago, it seemed Lewis had gotten busy. After notifying her that he had arrived in Saramāju, he stopped contacting her, and though Fiera tried to reach out, he didn’t respond.

Because of this, Fiera’s stress increased, and she was now on the verge of charging solo into the royal castle.

‘Fiera, can you hear me?’

“El. I can hear you.”

Just then, at the perfect timing, Lewis reached out to her, and Fiera’s demeanor changed as though she were a trained dog, wagging her tail happily with a smile on her face.

“Where have you been?! You said we’d talk at least once a day, but you completely vanished. I was waiting this whole time. I didn’t get a reply when I reached out, and I was worried something happened. Plus, I was scared you’d abandoned me!”

“Ah, sorry. I had a bunch of things to deal with. More importantly, I have something I need you to do, so pass that on to Kamael.”

“Got it. But since you broke your promise, you have to give me a bigger reward when you get back!”

“I’ll consider it. Now, let me tell you what I need…”

After that, Lewis conveyed what he wanted from Kamael while catching up on each other’s current situations.

“Alright, I’m counting on you.”

“Yes. Leave it to me.”

Feeling pleased that Lewis had asked her for help, Fiera responded cheerfully and quickly turned serious as she faced Kamael and the others.

“It was a message from him, right? What did he say?”

“Before that… Sonia.”

“What is it?”

“Can you change my voice with magic?”

“I can, but who do you want it to sound like?”

“El.”

“Got it.”

Sonia complied with Fiera’s request, using a disguise spell to alter her voice. After that, Fiera dismissed the recognition-obstructing magic, returned to her original appearance, cleared her throat, and changed her expression and gaze, adopting an air that closely resembled the real Lewis.

“‘Fiera told me about the situation over there. Based on that, I’ll convey some changes to the plan.'”

“Huh? Changes to the plan?”

“‘Originally, the strategy was to gather evidence discreetly and kill a few royals and nobles to prevent the war. But due to circumstances on this side, those people have become useful for something else. I won’t go into details, but we need about 70,000 live humans for capture instead of killing. However, since leaving any royals alive could spark a war, kill everyone involved in this matter except those who had no part in it. Also, since we need a lot of people, after collecting the evidence, Kamael should give instructions to capture the nobles who supported the war and the knights who pointed their swords at us, then bring them back to Saramāju.'”

“Wait…”

“‘Finally, I heard from you that the security is still tight after a week, and I understand that your plan to wait for solid evidence before moving is sound, but it’s taking way too long. We just initiated our plan on this side. Therefore, let Fiera and the others initiate a bold assault, and when the security weakens to stop them, go collect the evidence. They’ll have a script prepared for resistance when they are captured. Even if it’s not about the war, just say that they resisted because they were abducted. Then it’ll flow that they ended up gathering evidence for the war. I’m sure you can sneak into the castle without anyone noticing, right? Use Fiera and the others as bait. It’ll be more efficient. That’s all.'”

‘……..’

In the end, Fiera smirked as if to conclude, and because she shared the same hair color as Lewis, she looked strikingly similar. Watching her, Shuvina and the others felt a thrill at her chilling command.

“Wait! What do you mean by capturing nobles and knights? What if there are innocent people involved? That would just give them a reason to start a war! And you want to take care of the nobles and knights in our territory? You can’t manage that many!”

“No problem. Regarding that, El told me: ‘If Kamael complains about involving innocent people or a lack of manpower, say to judge innocence after capturing them. But first, you must issue a call for them to surrender, and if they still point their swords, capture them mercilessly. If you don’t have enough manpower, use your magic to create pawns, and it won’t be a problem to capture those nobles who supported the war. I’m not accepting more complaints; just make your pawns, give instructions, and you can return. It’ll be easy for you. Instead, I’ll grant your wishes, so help me this time.’… he said.”

Kamael, lost for words at the precise instructions and suggestions that felt like he was being read inside out, stood there dumbfounded for a moment before he inexplicably began to laugh joyfully instead of getting angry.

“Ahaha. I see. You did know my wishes, huh? Alright. Then let’s start by granting your wish.”

Kamael’s demeanor darkened into a smile that was almost sinister, appearing dangerously unstable, causing Fiera and the others to see an uncanny resemblance to Lewis.

“We will change the plan. We’ll act according to his instructions. You three head straight toward the royal castle boldly.”

“Does that mean we can make a flashy entrance?”

“That’s fine. You three want to wreak a little havoc too, right? Feel free to go all out. Just be sure to issue a call for surrender once before the combat starts. If they lower their weapons, leave them be, but if they come at you, capture them all.”

“What should I do?”

“The Saintess must ensure that innocent bystanders aren’t harmed by erecting barriers. Mainly, I think the royal castle will be the battlefield, so please circle around the castle.”

“Understood.”

“While everyone attracts the enemies, I’ll sneak into the castle and regroup with Mashuri to collect the evidence. I’ll also take care of the king and others.”

“Got it.”

As Fiera responded, Shuvina and the others nodded in agreement, and everyone stood up. Fiera, getting equipped, has her fists ready while lowering her stance.

Then, with a forceful motion, she smashed through the wall of the nearby building and stepped outside, drawing the attention of those around them.

“Let the rampage begin. Everything is as El wishes.”

And thus, the monsters that had been quietly sharpening their fangs finally targeted the Clan Kingdom, ready to unleash their sharp fangs and take action.
