The Return of the Destruction Level Death Knight Episode 40
Episode 40: Different Dreams (1)
It was only after hearing my father’s words that the memory came back to me.
Sophia Russell.
Viscount Russell’s eldest daughter and Damien’s former fiancee.
She was such a beautiful woman that no one in the West knew her name.
‘She was such a waste to me.’
Damian Haxen, who was just a fool, was not a woman he could dare touch.
Nevertheless, the reason he was able to get engaged to Sophia Russell was because of the promise his grandfathers made.
The predecessors, Viscount Haxen and Viscount Russell, had decided to marry each other when they had children.
However, both born children were male. Therefore, their promise was postponed to their grandchildren.
Thanks to this, Damian Haxen was able to pick the coveted flower without much trouble.
‘Unlike me, she really disliked Sophia Russell.’
Sophia Russell did not welcome this engagement.
Damian Haxen was a bastard who had nothing to boast about, and his behavior was downright dirty.
Therefore, even though they were engaged, their relationship did not become closer at all.
‘Then the previous Viscount Russell died… … They announced the breakup of the engagement over there.’
After the death of the previous Viscount Russell, Viscount Russell unilaterally notified of the break-up of the engagement.
Damian, who heard the news, ran wild and headed towards Viscount Russell.
And then I saw it.
This is the image of Sophia Russell behaving warmly next to a strange man.
-Sofia, who is that man and is he mad at us?
-This is the fiancé I told you about last time.
-Oh, you mean that bastard?”
Enraged, Damien lunged at the man.
And I was literally beaten to the point of death.
-How dare you attack me, a fool worse than a scarecrow?
-I tried to quietly send Sophia back out of concern for her face, but it wouldn’t work.
-I will make sure you never appear in front of me or Sofia again.
Even though the man was young, he was a low-class talent.
Damian Haxen, who was beaten by ordinary people, was not an opponent he could beat.
-Damian! What’s going on!
-Lou, Louise! Hurry and bring the potion! hurry!
The father questioned Viscount Russell about Damian’s assault, but only received a mocking response.
-This is all because you educated them incorrectly.
-Even bugs know how to hide their opponents. What kind of confidence did Damian have when he rushed in?
-It makes my blood boil to think that we almost married off our Sophia to this kind of family.
Viscount Haxen was so angry that he tried to visit Viscount Russell in person.
However, his family stopped Viscount Haxen. It was because of Sophia’s new lover.
As a Haksen writer, he did not have the ability to handle the enormous power of the low class.
“If it’s a tourney, not only will Sophia Russell come, but her new lover will come too. “What if you can’t control your anger after seeing those two?”
My father said with a serious face.
I didn’t stop Damian because I was worried he might get in trouble again.
With Damian’s skills, he could kill that knight with a single sword.
That was the problem.
Killing people at an event held by Count Copperhead?
If that were the case, the Copperhead Count would not remain silent.
“Father, I no longer have any lingering feelings for Sophia.”
In fact, Damian couldn’t even remember Sophia Russell’s face, let alone regret it.
“Are you sure?”
“Really. Please believe me.”
It was true up to this point.
“Are you really confident that you won’t get into an accident?”
“yes.”
But from here on it was a lie.
‘How dare you touch my body?’
Even Damian thought to himself that he wasn’t in a good mood for an engagement. It was the same even if I reversed her position and thought about it.
But that was that, and this was this.
‘And how dare you insult our family?’
What was most unbearable was the fact that Viscount Russell had insulted his father and family.
Insults directed at oneself cannot be tolerated!
Insults against the family are even more intolerable!
For this reason, Damian planned to use this opportunity to bury those two people.
“Even if I see those two, the situation your father is worried about will never happen.”
But no matter what I was feeling, I had to lie now.
First, you must get permission from your father before you can go to Count Copperhead House.
“Honey, please believe Damien when he says that.”
“that’s right. “Has Damien ever disappointed his father lately?”

My mother and sister, who were watching from behind, helped me one by one.
Even the two of them were like this, so Viscount Haksen had no choice but to raise his hands.
“good night. “I will allow you to participate.”
Damian’s face brightened at his father’s permission.
Damian said, putting his arm around Abel’s neck.
“Abel, did you hear? We can go together. “You’re lucky, aren’t you?”
“What a blessing! “It doesn’t matter if you don’t follow me!”
“You idiot, you’re saying things you don’t mean.”
Viscount Haxen looked at the two brothers with concern.
The older woman said, poking her husband’s side.
“Do you really think Damian is that untrustworthy?”
“It’s not because of that.”
“Then what is it?”
In response to his wife’s question, Viscount Haksen spoke with a serious expression.
“Damian… … “Haven’t you become quite famous these days?”
“Yes, of course. “Whenever I go to a meeting these days, everyone asks about Damien.”
Madame Haxen often gathered together and chatted with noble women she knew.
Because of that, I knew very well how much of a hot topic Damian was.
“But haven’t you become famous so quickly that you’ve never shown your face in social circles?”
“Yes.”
“Then isn’t this your first debut?”
“that… … “That’s it, right?”
“Then will the other nobles stay quiet?”
“ah.”
Mrs. Haxen finally realized what her husband was worried about.
* * *
Viscount Haxen immediately sent a letter to the Copperhead family.
The letter contained a heartfelt congratulations on Lady Olivia’s birthday and a wish to participate in a tournament that would be held soon.
A few days later, Count Copperhead sent a response saying that participation was welcome.
Damian Haxen is participating in the tournament hosted by the Copperhead Count!
This news quickly spread throughout the West.
It didn’t matter who spread it. All attention in the West was focused on Damian Haxen.
These days, whenever the nobles of the West gather together, they talk about Damian Haxen.
“Did you guys hear that? “What do you mean, Lord Damian Haxen is participating in the Copperhead Count’s tournament?”
Whenever two or more noble women gathered together, they always talked about Damian Haxen.
“Damian Haxen is the knight who defeated the Archduchess of Marquess Ryanblum without even drawing his sword, right?”
“The Grand Duke of the Marquis is famous as a genius among geniuses. “Someone like that?”
“That’s why it’s even greater. “Isn’t it really cool?”
There was no story that piqued the interest of noble women as much as a young and capable knight.
“According to the information I have been researching, he also has a rather handsome face.”
“Oh my, my.”
Moreover, since he was a handsome man, noble women talked passionately about Damian Haxen.
“If he was so outstanding, why didn’t he stay in the Gold Pixie duchy?”
“Could it be something like this? He couldn’t find a lady to whom he would be loyal. “That’s why I wander the world.”
“Oh my, my.”
It was a ridiculous delusion, but it didn’t really matter.
The women let their imaginations run wild.
In the women’s delusions, Damian Haxen had suddenly become a talented but lonely wolf.
“Then the reason for participating in this tournament is… … .”
“Of course. “She wants to woo Lady Olivia.”
When the story of Lady Olivia came out, the noble women became sullen.
Olivia Copperhead was a woman so beautiful that she was called the flower of the West.
Plus the powerful background of the Copperhead family.
She was a woman that every knight would envy.
“There is no guarantee that two people will become lovers. “Don’t we have a chance too?”
The women’s eyes lit up at those words.
“that’s right. “You never know what will happen to people’s relationships.”
“Lady Olivia may be beautiful, but she may not be to Sir Damien’s taste.”
The women began discussing ways to seduce Damian Haxen with heated faces.
* * *
Of course, there was not only a favorable response to Damian Haxen.
“Damian Haxen is participating in the tournament!”
“You mean that bastard is coming?”
Among the nobles of the West, there were quite a few who learned about Damian Haxen’s past while researching him.
“Not long ago, you got beaten up and kicked out of a bar, right?”
“It is said that because there was no relief, the fiancée’s family unilaterally broke off the engagement.”
“Does it make sense for a person like that to defeat the Archduchess of Marquis Ryan Bloom?”
People who found out about Damian Haxen’s past were not in a position to be suspicious.
About whether Damian Haxen is really a great person.
“We will take this opportunity to confirm his true identity!”
“If you’re a fraud, I won’t leave you alone!”
In this way, all the nobles of the West began to flock to the tournament.
It all happened because of one person, Damian Haxen.
***
Small town Rivercross.
A high-end tavern located there.
“Jackson, please do it.”
A young woman picked up a piece of fruit with a fork and held it out.
A man with a sharp nose opened his mouth to eat the fruit.
“Hmm, it’s sweet and refreshing. Sophia, I think it tastes better when you feed it yourself.”
“Oh my, do you think I’ll be happy if you say such obvious things?”
The woman, Sophia Russell, burst into laughter while sitting on the man’s lap.
“What should I get you next? grape? apologize? “Just say it.”
“More than that, Sophia, did you hear the news?”
“What news?”
“I heard that the Count Copperhead family is holding a tournament.”
The man, Jackson Cutter’s words made Sophia Russell remember. She seemed to have overheard what the women of the city were saying.
“Oh, I think I’ve heard of it. “We’re holding a joust to celebrate our eldest daughter’s birthday, right?”
“Some say it is to find a suitor for the eldest daughter.”
“Ah, that’s why so many nobles gathered at the blacksmith shop and dressing room.”
Olivia Copperhead.
The count’s eldest daughter was famous for her good looks, so much so that she was called the flower of the West.
Plus the great background of the Copperhead family.
It was a condition that men could not help but desire.
“But why is that? “Why are you talking about another woman in front of me?”
Sophia Russell said with a distressed face.
Jackson Cutter waved his hand and explained.
“No, I just heard that Damian Haxen was participating in the tournament.”
Sophia Russell frowned for a moment at those words.
Damian Haxen? There was only one Damian Haxen she knew.
“no way… … “Are you saying that bastard is participating in the tournament?”
Sophia Russell reacted in a ridiculous way.
In fact, Sophia Russell had completely forgotten about Damien Haxen until not long ago.
To be precise, I tried to forget and live. Because he was such a worthless man.
“That swindler is participating in the joust? “It’s absurd.”
Meanwhile, one day, I started hearing rumors about Damian Haxen.
Things like slaying a warlock, shattering a large organization in Landwalk City, and subjugating the Grand Duke of Marquis Ryan Bloom.
Sophia Russell didn’t believe any of the rumors.
Because the rumors are false?
There was that, but the biggest reason was because I knew very well what kind of person Damian Haxen was.
Damian Haxen, whom Sophia Russell remembers, was an unremarkable person with not the slightest defect.
Sophia Russell was convinced that Damian Haxen had spread false rumors.
“You think so too, right? So do i. “When I heard this rumor, I thought it was absurd.”
Jackson Cutter laughed and said.
It was then.
“Uh, uhm… … .”
A moaning sound was heard from the floor. Jackson Cutter looked down.
Surprisingly, there were more than five men lying on the floor.
Judging by the calluses on their palms and the knife attached to their belt, they were not ordinary people.
The articles were clear.
“you… … This bastard… … .”
One of the knights raised his head and glared at Jackson Cutter.
“What are you doing? “Why did you attack us?”
“Why did you attack? “You flirted with Sophia first.”
Jackson Cutter hugged Sophia Russell’s waist. Sophia did not reject Jackson’s touch.
“ Flirting? Flirting?”
Suddenly, the knight gritted his teeth and shouted.
“What kind of flirtation have I made? “I bumped into someone on the street and I only saw your face for a moment while apologizing. Why is that called flirting?”
“Sophia, did you hear? “You deliberately bump into me and then make an excuse?”
“Hmph, it’s even more disgraceful that such an incompetent man even lies.”
The driver was so dumbfounded by the conversation between the two that he was at a loss for words.
“How dare I insult you like this? Do you know who I am? Author Dolphin’s… … .”
“Oh, you don’t have to say anything. “Why should I remember weaklings like you?”
“Hey, are you weak? Just because your mouth is open… … “Ugh.”
Jackson Cutter stepped on the back of the knight’s hand with a face that said he didn’t want to hear it. The knight groaned.
“You’re low class, right? The rest are semi-article accidents? If five people attacked me and broke up, I should feel ashamed and just shut up. “Why do they say I’m like this?”
Jackson Cutter put more effort into the foot resting on the back of his hand. The knight’s moans grew louder.
“Let me ask you one question. “Do you know who I am?”
“How do I know who you are!”
“Don’t do that, look closely. “Then you will know.”
Jackson Cutter grabbed the knight by his hair and lifted him up.
As a result, the driver had no choice but to look at Jackson Cutter’s face.
“You can’t let go of this right now! “It wouldn’t be okay if I killed you by tearing your limbs apart, you bastard!”
However, the driver only cursed and did not recognize Jackson Cutter.
Jackson Cutter sighed and let go of his hair.
“Sophia, do you think this makes sense? “No one recognizes me.”
“Jackson… … no. That person is just a stupid idiot.”
Sophia said with a sad expression.
In fact, Jackson Cutter was not completely unknown. He even had his own title.
Let’s kill the ogre.
It was a title given to him for hunting alone the ogre, known as the king of the forest.
It was a great achievement to hunt down a dangerous monster like an ogre alone.
However, the title Ogre Slayer was not that famous.
This is because things like monster hunting did not attract people’s interest.
“Look at Damian Haxen. Everyone knows it, unlike me. “You’re talking about that bastard without even knowing what he really is.”
Like Sophia Russell, Jackson Cutter never believed the rumors about Damien Haxen.
That was because he had also met Damian Haxen in person.
No, it wasn’t just a matter of meeting him, he even fought Damian Haxen.
“I can’t do it. “I have to tell Master.”
“yes? “What are you trying to tell me?”
“I have to participate in the joust. Go there and clearly inform people. What a great article I am. and… … .”
A firm determination appeared in Jackson Cutter’s eyes.
“What a terrible bastard Damian Haxen is.”
