Chapter 128: The Subjugation of Beltus (2)
His rough muscles, one-eyed face, square jaw, and the huge sword on his back—every feature declared the presence of a formidable man.
He was a veteran who had been through all kinds of battles while serving the ducal family for a long time. acid It wasn’t enough to just be strong and have a fierce personality to hold such a position.
To maintain a key post within the imperial guard, one needed both a fiery spirit and an icy rationality.
The first to notice the anomaly was Orel, the leader of the mercenary group stationed in the western tower of the Duchy of Beltus.

“…Something feels off in the main building.”
Although he had left the imperial family and become the leader of a large mercenary corps, he still maintained the same meticulous battle readiness he’d had while serving the empire.
Orel frowned as he drank beer with his strategist in the command room of the garrison.

“…Ah?”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 128: The Subjugation of Beltus (2) by Indra Translations.
The reason the Duke of Beltus, with his small number of private soldiers, could still hold his head high before the three great noble families was because he had General Orel under his command.
If someone asked why a wise and experienced man like Orel worked under a greedy man like the Duke of Beltus, the answer was simple: money.
And the virtue of a mercenary is to work exactly for what he’s paid.
The amount of gold coins Orel’s mercenary corps received annually from the Duchy of Beltus for maintaining security was enough to buy a small border town with ease.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 128: The Subjugation of Beltus (2) by Indra Translations.
That was why some ambitious mercenaries harbored the desire to challenge Orel, but finding him wasn’t easy, since he rarely left the Beltus territory.
Orel adjusted the greatsword on his back, checked the two longswords at his waist, the dagger on his thigh, and the various supplies on his belt, then stood up.
There were few mercenaries in the southwestern continent, including Ebelstein, as renowned as Orel. shadow Leading such a large mercenary corps was only possible thanks to his exceptional abilities.

Orel’s brows drew together tightly. arctic Focusing on his nose, he could smell the faint scent of blood carried by the wind.
There, terrified servants were running out of the mansion.
He pulled back the canvas covering of the garrison completely and looked toward the main building of the Duchy of Beltus.
General Orel was a man with unusually sharp hearing and smell.

“Yes, Commander.”
“Reven.”
He was also a man who never hesitated when it mattered.

“Wake everyone who’s sleeping. absorb It’s time to work.”
Whooosh!
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 128: The Subjugation of Beltus (2) by Indra Translations.
When Denise regained consciousness, the walls of the isolation room were already covered with all kinds of necromantic magic and vengeful spirits, enough to make one dizzy just by breathing.
Crackle! aspect Snap!
The Archlich that Fina had meticulously crafted was a disaster equal to death itself. atom The mere fact that such a monster stood upright turned its surroundings into a frozen abyss, multiplying its forces and forming its nest wherever it stood.
The main building of the Duke of Beltus—the isolation room where Denise had been confined.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 128: The Subjugation of Beltus (2) by Indra Translations.
Fina loved such scenes of massacre. action But unfortunately, Dereck did not like unnecessary victims in these covert power struggles.
With a single movement of the Archlich’s staff, an army of corpses rose, and rotting monsters began staggering out into the mansion’s corridors.
If left unchecked, the casualties would be countless.
Dereck had no qualms about killing, but he wasn’t a lunatic who committed senseless massacres. attic All he wanted was to seize the Beltus mansion and turn it into the seat of necromantic magic.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 128: The Subjugation of Beltus (2) by Indra Translations.
That was why Dereck had repeatedly insisted to Fina that she limit the level of monsters summoned by the Archlich’s magic.
Even so, the Beltus mansion already looked like a nest of evil deeply tainted with necromancy.

The army of corpses rising with grotesque noises would chill anyone to the bone.
“—Aaah!”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 128: The Subjugation of Beltus (2) by Indra Translations.
Banshees flew over the railing of the main hall, and phantom knights clad in armor and wielding swords began occupying every room with echoing footsteps.
The aura of necromantic magic spreading across the walls quickly dimmed the light, wrapping the mansion in darkness.
Little by little, the Beltus mansion was dyed in the shadow of death. ability As in the labyrinths of the White Zone ruled by the Archlich, it was becoming a maze filled with vengeful spirits, corpses, and the stench of blood.
“Save me! august It’s a monster! alpha A monster!”

She used the first-class combat magic “Magic Arrow” and “Ice Spear” to suppress the corpses rushing toward her.
Denise clenched her teeth as she jumped from the railing connecting the second floor to the first.
Around her, terrified servants were crying, barely managing to move their feet. august If she left them there, they would undoubtedly be torn apart by the monsters.
Boom!

‘If I get out now, I can survive.’
She stumbled once and rolled down the steps, but the thick, luxurious carpet kept her from serious injury.
Fortunately, the main body—the Archlich—was focused on devouring the entire mansion. abstract Thanks to that, the monsters it summoned were not yet of a very high level.
With that thought, Denise grabbed a maid frozen in fear and ran down the stairs, gritting her teeth.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 128: The Subjugation of Beltus (2) by Indra Translations.
The pain was inevitable, but she pushed herself up from the floor. matrix Other servants who had been dragged or thrown by force also began moving toward the exit, trembling.
“Ow!”
Almost crawling along the ground, she managed to reach the lobby on the first floor.
Crash!
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 128: The Subjugation of Beltus (2) by Indra Translations.
Her intention was to get out of the mansion to alert the tower. atomic With that in mind, she ran toward the marble staircase leading to the main gate.

“…What is this…?”

In the eastern tower, mages had rushed out to cut down monsters; the same was happening in the camp of the Orel Mercenary Corps.
She couldn’t comprehend what was happening. abstract Even Denise, who had lived her whole life among noble intrigues, had never witnessed a battlefield like this.
The fief of the Duke of Beltus—about the size of a decent rural village. adjust To the south, the great garden that resembled an entire forest was being invaded by spirits and beasts.
The Archlich’s magic, devouring the main building, seemed to spread throughout the entire territory.

Everywhere, there was battle, and death filled every corner.
From the highest point of the main building, looking out over the property from the railing near the outer gate, she took several labored breaths.
Seeing the advance of the monsters sweeping across the estate, Denise collapsed where she stood.
“Hah… hah… hah…”

Even when goosebumps ran up her arms and her back shivered, she clenched her teeth to resist the fear.
But her heart was pounding wildly, and tears threatened to fall.
Even though everyone else was on the verge of breaking down, she tried to regain her reason somehow.
Denise removed the thought-shaped brooch from her hair and, using its sharp tip, stabbed her own thigh once.

‘The isolation room—the monster that came out of my belongings. academy What exactly was it? apple It’s clearly a high-level demon, but why was it among my things…? orbit It was just my usual luggage…’

But the young woman from Tigris was just a nameless commoner. antique Diligent, studious, without any great magical achievements.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 128: The Subjugation of Beltus (2) by Indra Translations.
That was the only conclusion Denise could reach.
Everything was a mystery.
What kind of large-scale necromantic magic was this? antenna What were Dereck’s intentions? autumn How had this crisis, threatening to devour the Beltus family, begun?
But one thing was certain.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 128: The Subjugation of Beltus (2) by Indra Translations.

The words he spoke when he was leaving, leaving her alone.
The mansion garden.

Whoosh!
There was no time for carriages, so everyone gripped the reins tightly from their mounts.
