I Fell into the Game with Instant Kill-Chapter 68.2: Emergency Call (3)

Chapter 68.2: Emergency Call (3)

The Thunder Lord immediately protested.

“This is unacceptable. If you break the rules, pay for it, for whatever reason!”

The Overlord nodded her head.

“Okay then, we seem to have varying opinions, so let’s do a vote. The Second Lord is obviously in favor of execution, and what about the other Lords?”

The Black Sea Empress was the first to step forward.

“I’m also in favor, Overlord. That man is so shameless. It’s unlucky.”

“Ah, I’m also in favor.”

The Mad King immediately seconded.

It was as if she had been gearing to fight because she had been holding the hilt of her sword since earlier.

“The First Lord?”

In response to the Overlord’s question, the Wiseman said with a calm face.

“I will obey the will of the Overlord.”

Her gaze then turned to the Third Lord.

He opened his mouth, who had been staring blankly into the air with a face full of annoyance.

“···I will also do as the Overlord tells me.”

Now, only the Fourth Lord- the King of the Dead and the Ninth Lord—the Giant King remained.

The King of the Dead, who glanced at me, was silent for a moment, then spoke.

“I will oppose execution.”

The other Lords looked at him in surprise.

“What is it, Fourth Lord? With your personality, I thought you would be in favor? Were you scared?”

At the Mad King’s words, the King of the Dead only laughed.

I was also a little surprised inside, because I didn’t know he would object.

At least, as far as I knew, the King of the Dead thought that keeping the proper order of things was the most important alongside the Wiseman and the Thunder Lord.

…Maybe he was trying to pay off the favor for the body of the warrior that I gave him?

Anyway, now only the Ninth Lord’s decision was left.

He sat quietly with his arms crossed and his eyes closed, then opened his eyes and said.

“I will also obey the will of the Overlord.”

The Thunder Lord frowned at him.

Three in favor, one against, but three left the decision to the Overlord, so the overlord had four votes.

With this, it ultimately left the decision of what would happen to me in the Overlord’s hands.

“Well then, can I decide?”

The Overlord spoke calmly, as if she had roughly expected it, and fixed her gaze on me again.

I waited for her decision.

What if she decided to execute me here?

···Then I have to survive even if it things turned ugly.

Of course, I had no intention of giving up my life.

Even if I had to give her information about the future, if it could lead to my survival, they I had no choice but to bring everything I knew out in the open.

But in the end, if there was a battle, it would be unfair if I was the only one who would die alone, so I would still take out as many as I could.

After quite a long silence, she opened her mouth.

“Seventh Lord, I still think you have to take some responsibility for this. A Lord killing another Lord, it’s not just something that could be easily overlooked.”

She smiled brightly.

“So, I want you to grant me three favors.”

“···?”

“Of course, it will not be an unreasonable request, so don’t worry. The first one would be to attend with me to the Neutral Nations Conference that would be held shortly after.”

Neutral Nations Conference?

As I looked at her with puzzled eyes, she explained.

“Some time later, there is a meeting between Santea and the neutral countries. I would like you to accompany me. This would be one favor and the remaining two would be decided later. How about it?”

I thought about her proposal for a moment.

Three favors: Lords could not be completely free from the orders of the Overlord as much as they enjoyed all the privileges of being a Lord.

That’s why each Lords’ meeting decided what each Lord was supposed to do according to the Overlord’s decision.

Of course, if the justification for an order was not enough, even the Lords could reject the Overlord’s orders, but…

I don’t have the right to refuse those favors.

But, well, it wasn’t a bad suggestion to get through this situation safely.

Besides, it’s a request that wasn’t too difficult if one was to accompany her to a meeting with Santea.

I didn’t know why she suddenly wanted to take me to that conference out of the blue.

Of course, the Overlord wasn’t such an easy-going person, but I could not reject the offer, anyway.

“I accept it.”

I answered obediently.

The Overlord laughed softly.

“Okay, so that’s it. The Seventh Lord won’t be executed.”

At the Overlord’s declaration, the Mad King murmured with dissatisfaction.

“Tsk, and I thought we will finally be able to fight…”

The Black Sea Empress also looked at me with an expression that showed her displeasure, and then she turned her gaze away.

I breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

I really wondered what would happen, but I finally overcame this crisis safely.

Just as I was wondering if it would all end like this, suddenly a shout rang out.

“···I cannot accept it!”

All eyes were focused on one side.

The Thunder Lord who got up from her seat was vigorously staring at me as if she was about to kill me.
