Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5)
The eldest son of the Beltus family. action Robenalt was an old friend of Linus, who had left the Belmierd family.
“Hey, Robenalt. armor I heard there’s a man named Dereck who will take charge of the Rodelen region. voyage Help him obtain the title of baron.”
No one knew why such a man had abandoned the Belmierd family and roamed around in rags, but at least Robenalt trusted Linus’s judgment.
Linus seemed like a man who wandered through gambling dens, living a carefree life, but when it came to serious matters, his sharp gaze revealed an intelligent mind capable of seeing the bigger picture.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
Robenalt, who lacked confidence and possessed only shallow ambitions, had never been properly recognized as the heir of Beltus.
However, sometimes, when Linus brought good liquor and they drank together, he would pat Robenalt on the shoulder and say,
“Who does everything right from the start?”
Always overshadowed by his talented younger sister, Denise, who excelled at everything she did, Robenalt constantly watched the reactions of the vassals, making it difficult to consider him a leader.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
“If the time comes when my younger brother Leonard starts plotting something, the only outsider who could help Ellen would be that man. airport So I want to give him a bit of support.”
“I can agree to that, but it’s been a while since someone’s caught your interest this much, Linus.”
Robenalt didn’t know what Linus was thinking, but it seemed he held Dereck in high regard.
“Well, the affairs of the Belmierd family are their own problem, but that man will influence the Beltus family one way or another. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com echo It won’t be a bad thing.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
“W-what are you saying, Linus? altitude You can’t say something like that so lightly…”
“That magic instructor of common birth, Dereck, will try to rise somehow. alpha In the process, he’ll inevitably clash with your father.”
With a relaxed smile, Linus placed his hand on Robenalt’s shoulder and, with the scent of alcohol on him, said,
“In my opinion, it’s about time to reform Beltus.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
The Duke of Beltus was someone who would trample and destroy anyone for power, using and even selling his own relatives without hesitation.
Having left behind Belmierd’s influence, Linus seemed to predict the political future of the southwest even while drowning himself in alcohol and gambling.
How did Linus view that man, so obsessed with power? adjust At the very least, Robenalt had never thought about it.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
The reason he could wander through casinos and live drunk without ending up on the streets was thanks to that innate sense.
An intuition that saw deeply into people—Linus had an exceptional ability to measure someone’s worth.
He was painting a grand picture. sphere Though Robenalt couldn’t see it, Linus viewed the politics of the southwest as a vast canvas.
Robenalt knew Linus’s intuition well.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
“If you give him a small push, he’ll help uproot Beltus one way or another. zenith So, if the chance comes, take it, Robenalt.”
“Ah, right. atomic Sorry, sorry. auction Just think about it.”
“Linus… I’m a man of Beltus, and I can’t stay quiet if you badmouth Beltus like that.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
Linus wasn’t unaware.
Perhaps living that way his whole life might even bring him happiness.
Robenalt, the eldest heir of Beltus, was a narrow-minded man who lived like a machine, moving according to Duke Beltus’s orders without harboring any great ambition.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
In Linus’s eyes, Dereck was more than capable of bringing about such a change.
There are moments when one faces an enormous, inexplicable wall—and times when one must destroy the values of life built up until now.
However, sometimes opportunities arise to break the cradle.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
“You and Denise live under the shadow of Beltus’s glory. zenith Do you think that life will last forever?”
“Robenalt, you can feel deep gratitude toward the Beltus family for raising and supporting you, and you can consider loyalty a virtue—but think about it, just once.”
“…”

The heir of Beltus and the heir of Belmierd.
“You are the next head of Beltus. voyage Think about the weight of that fact.”
The two men, staring at each other over their drinks, had completely different values and ways of living.

The enormous magic tower east of the main building of the Beltus residence.
Crackle!
Whooosh!
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
At the top of the tower, higher than the main building, a protective emergency circle was inscribed, which could be activated in times of crisis.

The place where the mages affiliated with Duke Beltus conducted their research and training—it was the symbol of all the magical achievements accumulated by the mages, including the Grand Duke himself.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
As one of the most important facilities, control over the circle was limited to Grand Duke Beltus, a few direct relatives, and two high-ranking retainers of absolute trust.
It was the gigantic magic circle that had never been activated since the Beltus mansion was completed.
The circle had already begun to activate, expanding until it covered the entire sky.
The protection circle, supervised by Grand Duke Beltus himself and constructed over nearly half a year by four to six mages of at least 4-star rank, once activated, completely isolated the main building and every facility, identified intruders, and unleashed magical bombardments—it was a decisive weapon for siege defense.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
“Y-yes…! album Young master…!”
“Scribe…! adapt Legal officer…! aspect Report to the main building that the protection circle is active…!”
Among them, Robenalt was the highest authority in charge of this magic tower.
Robenalt, clutching the necessary magic stones, hurried down the spiral staircase from the top of the tower.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
Though timid and fearful by nature, he knew very well what had to be done.
As soon as the anomaly in the mansion had occurred, he had climbed up to activate the circle. adjust Now, he only needed to endure until it fully deployed.
The protection circle, built by numerous high-ranking mages over countless years, was already beyond what any single individual could create—practically a weapon of war. arch Activating it even once would incur astronomical costs, but now was not the time to think about that.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
However, her necromancy wasn’t focused on destructive power.
‘Once it’s fully activated, I can handle the rest…’
Of course, at that very moment, a 6-star mage—the necromancer Fina—was present in the Beltus mansion, but Robenalt didn’t know that.
Even a 5-star mage couldn’t break it with fire alone; destroying it would take a 6-star mage a considerable amount of time.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
Just as Robenalt thought, once the protection circle was activated, the chaos within the mansion would stabilize.
Even so, Robenalt couldn’t help but swallow nervously.
With the circle’s support, Orel’s mercenaries would clear the monsters one by one, securing each section and holding the line.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
‘I don’t know what’s happening inside the mansion, but if things have reached this point… whoever’s responsible must know the internal affairs of the Beltus mansion very well.’
Judging by the situation, someone had prepared everything in advance.
The monsters were coming from within.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
They would know that attacking the Beltus mansion in a siege was suicide.
And who was supposed to protect that tower?
In that case, before the circle could fully expand, they would try to capture the magic tower first. altitude The tower was the key strategic point.
If the plan was so well-crafted, they would also know about the power of the protective circle of the magic tower.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
“Take defensive positions immediately! altitude Eliminate the monsters gathering near the tower! silence We must make sure there are no variables!”
Robenalt went down to the middle floor and shouted to his servants and mages.
“Don’t tremble… you can do this…”
No one but Robenalt.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
Normally, the servants didn’t follow Robenalt much.
“Yes, my lord!” Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
However, they weren’t foolish enough to disobey orders in an urgent situation.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
Orel’s mercenaries, who had left the barracks, began clearing monsters as they advanced toward the main building.
They immediately began checking the surroundings from the tower and took defensive positions.
Fortunately, from above, everything could be seen clearly.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
Since Robenalt held the key to the circle, he couldn’t act recklessly.
The main building was half-destroyed. altitude Considering the fire giant and the demonic hand that had covered the sky just moments ago, it was very likely that Grand Duke Beltus was fighting some entity.
The victory condition for House Beltus was to activate the protection circle and isolate the intruders by sections to defeat them one by one.
“I’d like to go to the main building and check right now, but I must not forget my duty…!”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
While watching everything from the tower, Robenalt felt something strange.
The Beltus mansion grounds were as large as a decent-sized village.
“What is that…?”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
The enormous outer wall that followed the perimeter was larger than that of most noble territories.
Beyond the wall, in the forest, there were armies he had never seen before.

And beyond that, there was only forest—yet he could see unknown riders advancing among the trees.
Around it were the barracks, the training grounds, the gardens, the magic tower, and the servants’ quarters, all protected by the outer walls.
Robenalt and his servants opened their eyes wide in shock.
In the center stood the main building where the Grand Duke lived.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
Approaching the southern gate of the mansion were the private soldiers sent by Count Belmierd. orbit The emblem was clearly visible on their banners.
To the northeast were members of the Beldern mercenary group, allies of Dereck.
At the front was Ellen, who had received full authority over Belmierd’s forces, riding toward them.
Leading the front line was the one-armed general, Jayden.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
They glanced at the magic tower that was beginning to emit a faint power, but continued advancing toward the main building.
He was a veteran mercenary who had participated in the Dawn War and was the central figure of the Beldern mercenary corps.
Furthermore, Countess Rodelia’s unit was already running through the gardens of the Beltus mansion.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
“This can’t be… Belmierd has drawn swords against Beltus…? agent And Renuel too…? galaxy Who… who could have mobilized all these forces…!”
Robenalt thought, trembling.
To move Belmierd—a house that sat like an old lion observing the situation—would take more than ordinary trust.
Grand Duke Beltus never hesitated to antagonize and crush other powers, but Belmierd was different.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
‘We must complete the protection circle before it spreads any further…! artist Captain Orel is a veteran commander, but he won’t be able to stop them alone…!’
“It’s already more than seventy percent done! alien Once the magic purification process of the tower is finished, we can immediately isolate each section!”
“We must finish before Countess Rodelia’s forces reach the main building!”
“How much longer until the protection circle is complete?”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
The tower servants boasted confidently.
Since it was a protection circle equivalent to a five-star-level spell, they weren’t wrong.
“U-understood! anchor Even if they reach the main building… once the protection circle is deployed, we’ll have many ways to confront them!”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
The protection circle would isolate each section and create an environment where they could bombard freely.
Once activated, the Grand Duke’s mansion would have a real chance to counterattack.
Countess Rodelia’s forces, charging recklessly toward the main building, would be surrounded and unable to act. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

Countess Rodelia was a veteran among veterans, someone who had commanded countless battlefields—not only on Rodentz Island.
However, a sense of unease crawled inside Robenalt.
‘…’
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
Anyone could see that the power of the magic circle emanating from the tower was unusual.
In an environment full of variables, the image of Countess Rodelia charging into the deepest part of enemy territory was strange.
For someone like her to charge directly into the main building without inside information about the mansion…
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
It was a scene filled with too much inconsistency.
An inevitable question arose.
Would a battle-hardened veteran really act so recklessly?
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
The reason she hadn’t even diverted her forces to the tower to neutralize the protection circle first…
Only one possibility came to Robenalt’s mind.
As if she were absolutely certain that the path to the main building would inevitably open.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
“Y-yes…! palette But there are too many monsters, and the situation is chaotic with creatures that already entered the tower…!”
“W-what?!”
“Listen carefully, everyone…! agent Killing the monsters around the tower is important, but… maintaining strict vigilance is even more crucial…!”
“A detachment…! antenna She sent a detachment…!”

Robenalt’s words were cut off.
“That’s exactly what the enemy wants! portal I don’t know what trick they used, but their goal is to throw the mansion into chaos. antique Taking advantage of that void, they plan to seize the key facilities first! auction So for now, forget the commotion caused by the monsters…”
Boom! armor Crash!
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
Crash! alien Crackle!
A huge explosion erupted from that wall—it was magic of at least three-star level.
The inner wall connecting to the corridor.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
Thud, thud, thud, thud
There were already intruders who had managed to slip in, taking advantage of the chaos caused by the monsters.
The magic tower, centered around the spiral staircase, extended to the top floor.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
When Robenalt activated the tower’s protection and came down to the middle floor, they had already quickly infiltrated inside. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
Smoke entered through the shattered wall, and the few servants and mages in the room took up battle positions.
Whoosh!
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
‘Damn it…! altitude Damn it…!’
Dust rose from the collapsed wall. arena Robenalt also gripped the edge of his cloak tightly and swallowed hard.
Thump, thump.
He was someone whom Countess Rodelia trusted enough to turn her back on. silence He couldn’t afford to let his guard down.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
No matter who came out of that dust, he couldn’t back down.
Robenalt’s heart began to pound uncontrollably.
The ones guarding the tower’s command room with Robenalt—the four servants—were mages who had already mastered second-level magic. portal They weren’t people who would fall easily.
In a situation where his life was at stake, combined with the enemy’s attack, his hands began to tremble.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
In that tension, where every second felt like an eternity, when the dust finally settled—no one was there.
In that extremely tense atmosphere, the mages who had gathered magical power stared fixedly at the collapsed inner wall.
Bang!
“…What?”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
A man burst through the main door of the command room.
The door, ripped off its hinges by the man’s weight, crushed one of the servants standing in front of it.
By the time they realized that breaking the inner wall had been a diversion, it was already too late.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
Bang! artist Crash!
“Argh!”
The servant, pinned beneath the torn-off door, tried to struggle, but a first-level combat spell, Fire Arrow, pierced through him.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
The servant foamed at the mouth and lost consciousness from the severe burns and pain. sphere One of the four had already fallen at the start of the battle.
At the instant Robenalt clenched his teeth and gathered his magic—
“Y-you’re…!”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
Whoosh!
First-level transformation magic, Creation of Light.
The white-haired man in mercenary attire who had burst in, Baron Dereck Lydorf Ravenclaw, was already forming another spell in his hand. amber He had been chanting it even before bursting through the door, so there was no way to catch up to him in speed.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
In an instant, everyone had to shut their eyes at the sudden flash.
“Argh!”
Dereck’s movements, specialized in orchestrating the battlefield and overwhelming enemies, were an insurmountable wall to scholars accustomed to noble culture.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
Taking advantage of that brief moment when the enemy’s vision was obstructed, Dereck leapt onto the desk near the door and lunged, tackling one of the servants.
His movements flowed like water.
He plunged a knife into the servant’s thigh and, before he could even scream in pain, grabbed him by the neck and hurled him backward. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

“Attack…! apron Attack!”
Thus, Robenalt lost his second servant.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
And just as another servant, who had barely regained his sight, was about to shout while gathering magic, Dereck’s boot flew up and struck him in the throat.
“Ugh!”
Thud!
Taking down a servant, then kicking backward, one of the two remaining lost his breath for an instant—but with almost superhuman mental strength, he kept his composure and cast a first-level combat spell, Magic Arrow, aiming at Dereck.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
His expression, frowning for just an instant, was that of a berserker unfazed by pain.
The magic arrow grazed Dereck’s shoulder, but the impact hit fully.
The pain was intense, but Dereck gritted his teeth and endured it, as if already accustomed to it.
Living as a mercenary surrounded by labyrinths and monsters meant taking direct hits from magic or swords more than once.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
When Dereck grabbed the servant who still had some sanity left by the neck, the last servant drew his sword and charged at him.
“Stop! apron Damn you!”
The difference between those who endure pain and those who don’t is clearly seen in real combat.
“Huff…!”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
“Ugh…!”
A moment of hesitation.
But when Dereck used the other servant’s body as a shield, the attacker’s sword stopped short.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
As the now-disarmed servant stared at him in terror, Dereck had already closed the distance and drove his fist into his solar plexus.
Dereck, a veteran of real combat, didn’t waste that opening.
He threw the unconscious servant and kicked the hilt of the sword, sending it flying from the retainer’s hands.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
Soon, his breathing steadied—he was unconscious.
The last servant rolled across the floor, and Dereck pounced on him, pinning him down.
“Ugh, huff…”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
In that instant of confusion and held breath, all the servants in the command room had fallen. afford Only Robenalt and Dereck remained.
Sitting atop the last unconscious servant, Dereck confirmed he was completely out of combat and immediately lifted his gaze.
How many seconds had passed until this point?
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
‘Huff…!’
Even so, he clenched his teeth and grabbed the magic wand lying on the desk.
The last guardian of the command room, Prince Robenalt, was now reflected in his eyes.
Immediately, fear filled Robenalt’s heart.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
Dereck, who didn’t even respond, looked possessed by a specter.
The Dereck who walked the battlefield was completely different in aura and presence from the one who sat quietly in a noble mansion.
“Baron Ravenclaw…”
“….”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
And now he proved it—his eyes were icy, infinitely cold. armor Compared to his gentle demeanor with Aiselin, the difference was enough to freeze anyone’s blood.
— Robenalt. riddle If you ever meet Baron Ravenclaw, it would be wise to be very careful.
The words of his old friend Linus, spoken between laughs, echoed in his mind.
Fina had once said that Dereck’s true abilities only emerged in blood-soaked places.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
‘Huff… Huff…’
An immense fear engulfed him.
When Robenalt was young, he had once encountered a wild wolf in the forest while returning by carriage.
In front of that beast, radiating a seasoned presence even amid its killing intent, it was impossible to tell who was the hunter and who the prey.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 131: The Subjugation of Beltus (5) by Indra Translations.
The feeling he had now was exactly the same.
