Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7)

‘Maybe I should tie my hair up once in a while.’

She liked how her abundant hair covered her body, giving her the appearance of a slightly frail girl, but showing a livelier side from time to time was also part of a person’s varied charm.

After living so many years following a similar pattern, it was natural to think of trying small deviations.

A girl walking through the middle of a forest, where the sounds of insects echoed, casually lifted her hair behind her head.

Fina Raffaella Tigris, daughter of a baron, was quietly leaving the Beltus estate without anyone noticing.

The girl walking out of the forest with such trivial thoughts was a great 6-star mage whose name would not be strange to leave engraved in history.

The sun had already set. shadow For her, who could hide among the shadows, leaving the place unseen was as easy as breathing.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

She turned and silently looked at the mansion standing on the hill.

What rose toward the sky were spirits materialized by necromancy. orbit The chaos and confusion pouring out of that cursed mansion were so satisfying that, for this girl made of pure wickedness, they were a spectacle more thrilling than any other.

Within the burning grounds, numerous soldiers ran toward their own goals.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

However, Fina was someone who would use any method to fulfill her purpose.

‘Melverot and Drest won’t stay still.’

The 6-star mages who despised chaos would probably frown upon Fina’s actions.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

‘Even if Melverot doesn’t understand, Drest will. august After all, times change.’

As she walked through the forest, a damp wind blew.

The young heir of Duplain, Leigh, was regaining consciousness and rising to his feet.

The forest’s breeze, tinged with the scent of grass, remained the same despite the passage of time, but people always changed.

She would become a symbol of power, wield enormous influence over the southwest of the continent, and even attempt to swallow the social circles of Ebelstein.

He would resolve all the regrets of what he had lost and, with the help of Aiselin and Diella, attempt to rebuild his family’s prestige.

The next heir of Belmierd, Ellen, already had a reputation that reached the heavens.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

Fina smiled faintly as she walked deeper into the forest.

It was uncertain whether he could become a proper lord, but at least his mental fortitude was firm. zenith In any case, he was someone who would surely be eliminated if things continued as they were, so Beltus’s future was uncertain as well.

The next heir of Beltus, Robenalt, was still going through growing pains.

In the end, generations change, and she had merely given them a small push.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

The only thing those old foxes could do, at most, was that.

In the meantime, take everything you can.

Times change. attic What can the old do?

What filled the sky was the form of a demon summoned by Grand Duke Beltus, master of summoning magic.

Indeed, being originally of 5-star class, even the newly infused necromancy had a considerably high level.

A halo of light rose from the mansion’s main building.

Breaking through the roof of the mansion’s main building, a gigantic demon revealed itself.

That demon, with the head of a bull, had huge horns jutting out from its temples, and its rough, muscular body was covered in heavy armor.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

And when one spoke of summoning magic, the name that came to mind was undoubtedly Grand Duke Beltus.

Of the many mages who had fallen under the vile aura of necromancy, it was especially the experts in summoning magic who handled such spells.

– Rooaar.

Bang! admire Bang!

If anyone could summon a demon of that magnitude, it was him.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

Its scale was so immense that it sounded more like the horn of a massive ship than a roar.

The enormous demon, half-emerged through the mansion’s roof, let out a sound.

Everyone around the mansion had to cover their ears, their faces contorted in pain.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

Who controlled that demon? admire Everyone could only answer in unison.

The demon had arrived. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

Taking advantage of the moment, numerous bat-like monsters began swarming out from the broken roof of the mansion. meadow The horde was so vast it could be considered an army.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

Rodelia, advancing with a detachment toward the main building, cut down monsters in her path.

It was undoubtedly Grand Duke Beltus.

“Has the tower’s protective magic not been withdrawn yet?”

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

Thus, Rodelia advanced by herself toward the main building to subdue Grand Duke Beltus himself.

However, the protective magic deployed atop the eastern tower showed no sign of fading.

Dereck had gone alone to destroy the magic tower. aspect Leading an army would only provoke the defensive forces to appear, so it had been decided that infiltrating alone amid the chaos caused by the monsters was the best course.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

Unless that enormous battle formation was completely neutralized, entering the main building was far too risky.

Flash!

As Rodelia clenched her teeth, staring at the tower—

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

The size of the magic circle blooming at the top of the tower began to shrink little by little until it finally lost all light and vanished.

Bang!

Dereck had indeed managed to infiltrate alone and resolve the situation.

No matter how chaotic the area around the tower was, or how urgent the situation, it was an incredible feat.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

He was a veteran who had repeatedly infiltrated labyrinths and hunted monsters in small groups, accumulating abundant real combat experience.

‘Wasn’t he a former mercenary? agent It seems he possesses exceptional experience in these guerrilla operations.’

But those who saw Dereck usually thought the same. artist He would be a useful talent as an officer, but he wasn’t the type to easily submit to anyone.

‘Steady, experienced, and mature, yet young. arrow If possible, I’d like to have him under my command.’

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

‘Rather, if I could bind him through marriage…’

The only person he even pretended to respect was Melverot, who had reached the rank of 6-star mage. riddle Competing with such a monster was impossible.

But he was already married, and even if his marriage were annulled or he took a second wife, it was unlikely that he would be paired with her fierce daughter Trisha. beacon In any case, it wouldn’t be easy to have Dereck under her wing.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

Setting that aside, the path was already open, and the task was clear.

“The path to the main house is clear! arrow Capture the master of that vile necromancy and report to Emperor Guttrel that we have resolved this disaster!”

Rodelia drew her sacred blood sword and raised it high, shouting to her detachment,

‘…’

“Let’s go!”

Tap, tap, tap.

“Yes!”

They were going to storm that nest of evil, where all kinds of monsters raged and vengeful spirits emerged, and bring the situation to an end.

Even within the hill where the mansion grounds lay, the main house of Duke Beltus stood at the highest point.

Emperor Guttrel, who abhorred necromancy, would surely recognize their merit.

Soldiers are always thirsty for honor.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

– Grooooh.

Many members of the detachment following Rodelia cheered. artist They were veterans among veterans, having conquered Rodentz Island at her side.

As they advanced toward the main entrance, Rodelia’s army arrived at the scene.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

The monster that had nested in that mansion had no intention of allowing intruders.

When the enormous doors of the main hall opened, an Archlich floating in the air awaited them.

The main house of the mansion no longer belonged to Duke Beltus.

They saw pods spewing swarms of vengeful spirits and monsters.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

Thud! meadow Thud!

A monster summoned through advanced 5-star-level necromancy or higher.

Seeing that gigantic creature—something they hadn’t even encountered on Rodentz Island—the expressions of Rodelia’s detachment hardened instantly.

Denise ran out of the main house and down the northern hill.

Grrr!

The Rodelia army was approaching from the south.

Their endurance was also mediocre, so well-trained soldiers or mages capable of using even level 1 magic could handle them without much difficulty.

Goblins and trolls with corpse-like appearances — their looks were grotesque and terrifying, but since their movements were slow, one could escape from them simply by running at full speed. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

Although the mansion grounds were filled with monsters, excluding those inside the main house, their level was not particularly impressive.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

The ones responsible for those tasks were already decided.

However, someone had to deal with the disaster at the main house, block the armies advancing toward the Beltus mansion, and at the same time protect the servants and retainers.

Even though the urgency of the moment and their horrifying appearance were unsettling, as long as one remained calm, surviving wasn’t too difficult.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

It seemed like an overwhelming task, but Orel, the group’s leader, had served as commander of the royal guard for a long time. orbit Without a doubt, he had survived countless crises like this one.

They had maintained such a special relationship that they even had their own barracks within the Beltus mansion grounds. alpha Now was the time to show their full strength.

At that moment, Denise was heading to the western barracks to resolve the anomaly at the main house together with the Orel Mercenaries and somehow block the incoming armies.

They were the Orel Mercenaries, who had protected the territory under contract with Grand Duke Beltus for many years.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

‘If everything gets resolved… what will happen to me…? auction And to the servants who followed me? accent And my personal maid, Bella? action No… what will happen to our family…?’

But even as she hurried her steps, Denise couldn’t help but hold her breath.

That was why Denise’s destination was the Orel Mercenaries’ barracks.

She pushed aside those negative thoughts. adapt Do what you can right now.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

Even though she repeated that to herself several times, the anxiety boiling in her chest wouldn’t subside.

That fact alone was like a thorn lodged in her heart, tormenting her without end.

Especially because she herself had made an enemy of Baron Dereck Lydorf Ravenclaw.

Now, she and Dereck were enemies.

Sometimes she remembered Dereck’s cold gaze — those sharp eyes, the same ones he showed when facing monsters he had to kill or enemies he had to subdue. august They were completely opposite to his usual calm and serious demeanor.

Even if the situation were resolved, Dereck would treat her with hostility.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

She had been used as a chess piece under the cruel Grand Duke Beltus, contributing to the family and living under his shadow for a long time.

Now the time had come to pay for those sins.

Now, the target of that gaze was Denise.

And the reason wasn’t even deep — it was simply because she belonged to the Beltus family. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

Soon, she leaned one shoulder against a tree in a corner of the garden, grabbed a handful of her messy hair, and tried to catch her breath.

Denise’s hurried steps began to slow.

Tap, tap.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

A hollow laugh escaped her. matrix While suppressing the tickle in her nose, Denise mocked herself.

She had run too long with a fragile body. voyage To save her strength, she breathed shallowly and soon pressed her forehead tightly, feeling as if she were about to cry.

‘Don’t cry. adapt Crying won’t change anything. attic Letting emotions take over in this situation will only hasten my death. adapt I have to judge everything calmly.’

‘Even though I lived pretending to be rational and intelligent… now that everything’s fallen apart, I’m nothing more than just another daughter…’

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

The Orel Mercenaries must have already begun to move. riddle They would be eliminating the monsters around the barracks and preparing to clear the main base where the demon had appeared.

If she moved west, maybe she could save her life.

If she headed toward the western barracks, she would surely find them.

Just as Denise finished catching her breath and stood up—

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

Someone appeared from within the forest.

A man covered in monsters’ blood emerged from the bushes.

The heavens abandoned her.

Someone she should never have encountered at that moment was there, walking with a deadly stride, drenched in blood.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

He was carrying someone unconscious over his shoulder.

His eyes still gleamed with a chilling red hue. adjust Though he was covered in dust, his pure white hair shone under the moonlight as always.

It was obvious who it was — the same silver-ash hair as Denise’s, a fragile noble.

The one who had been guarding the magic tower.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

A timid man, without great ambition or notable achievements. antique But if he had dared to face Dereck, the result was clear — he had been brutally beaten, his face swollen, hanging limply from Dereck’s shoulder.

But the murderous look in Dereck’s eyes as he carried him—

Was he dead? acid No, it seemed he was still breathing.

Her older brother, Robenalt.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

Robenalt, completely subdued and unconscious, was proof enough.

As they said, the gods had abandoned Denise.

In a place where there was no one left to protect her, she was now face to face with the very core of the enemy.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

What should she do? aspect Resist?

Dereck was a man filled with hatred toward the Beltus family and would never treat kindly anyone who had lived as one of its representatives.

Would there be any point in opposing someone whose magical ability surpassed hers by several ranks?

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

So Denise let herself fall against the tree and ended up sitting on the ground.

For someone as weak as her, resisting such a formidable man was futile.

Should she throw dirt in his eyes, scratch him, and run?

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

In that final instant, Denise managed to force a smile full of fake courage.

No matter the crisis, she always had to smile and never stop thinking rationally.

“Yes… Dereck, it was you after all.”

Dust clung to her expensive dress, and pieces of bark tangled in her messy ash-colored hair.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

She recalled her private residence in Ebelstein.

That was the attitude she had always lived with — as if it were her destiny.

Even if she were to die the next moment, she wouldn’t lose that composure.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

If the blood of Beltus didn’t run through my veins… could I have gotten along with this man?

Remembering that, Denise thought,

She remembered the moment in the underground art storage, when Dereck had consoled her as she lamented her frail life.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

Like Aiselin and Ellen? Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors. academy Could I have relied on him, shared my worries, faced dangers together, and somehow lived happily?

On a moonlit night, sitting at his desk with a pen in hand, maybe he had hoped someone would understand his inner emptiness.

Suddenly, she recalled the presumptuous Lord Robain.

When he wrote about that foolish noble who lost Tracy because he was dominated by differences in status and family duty… perhaps he had hidden a bit of mockery toward himself.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

Now it no longer mattered.

And so, when Denise gently closed her eyes, that was when she let everything go.

Step, step.

But she never imagined that the arrogant Lord Robain would become her final work. beacon If she had known, perhaps she would have put in more effort — such thoughts crossed her mind.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

Robenalt, leaning against a tree stump, was breathing heavily, completely unconscious.

Thud!

Dereck approached Denise with heavy steps and laid the body of Robenalt, whom he had carried until now, beside her.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

He was a pathetic brother, yes, but at least he had been sincere toward his family.

Dereck’s voice was much gentler than Denise had imagined.

“He tried to stop me to the very end. meadow Knowing what Grand Duke Beltus is like, and still remaining loyal… it seems he believes his duty is to be honest with the place he belongs to.”

He no longer had the fierce appearance of the bloodstained mercenary who hunted monsters, but rather that of the gentle instructor who had once stayed in the mansion and taught her magic.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

“His loyalty was simply misplaced. auction If the Beltus family sets itself straight, Young Master Robenalt will be a great asset to it. atom In the end, what remains is not someone loyal to a person, but someone loyal to his family.”

“D-Der… Dereck…?”

Denise held her breath.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

“You… you are…”

Under the moonlight, Dereck’s calm eyes lacked the ferocity she had expected.

In fact, they were exactly as she remembered them.

Denise lifted her trembling eyes to look at him.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 133: The Subjugation of Beltus (7) by Indra Translations.

“…Me?”

Dereck brushed the dust off his neck and answered with a puzzled expression.

“You… didn’t come to capture me…?”
