Even after finishing all his work at the tailor shop, Elric felt frustrated.
It was because this guy’s heart rarely listened to words.
What came to mind was what happened with Aman Nimrud, Tyria’s explanation afterwards, and my own reaction at that moment.
‘hate.’
I hated the idea of Aman Nimrud’s future with Tyria.
No, it wasn’t just that, I felt a terrible feeling of disgust for anyone in the world who was next to her.
It was unpleasant.
I felt like the creeping emotions were squeezing my throat.
That made Elric feel truly ashamed.
‘… ‘Selfish.’
So I reprimanded myself.
Why are you criticizing someone for being nice when you left her alone in the first place?
If she wants someone, she has to bless them.
And she is in a position to apologize for the past years.
But how selfish of you to hate it.
“Matriarch, are you feeling unwell?”
When she spoke first, my negative feelings began to increase in indescribable amounts.
When I turned my head, green eyes resembling spring ears caught my eye.
A thought comes to mind.
If someone has to make her happy,
‘That’s me…’ .’
Is it not possible?
The moment he remembered it, Elric trembled.
“house owner?”
“Oh, it’s nothing.”
Feeling his fever rising, Elric hastily answered.
I needed to change the subject.
The thought that I needed to get away from this thought kept rising.
“But you don’t have any other plans?”
Yeah, this would be good.
“There are still two days left until the banquet. I’ve come all the way to the capital, and there’s work to be done… “I was wondering if there was something like that.”
When I said that, fortunately Tyria responded.
“No big deal.”
“exactly?”
“Yes, it is common to have relationships with other nobles, but the Portman family is a new family that has just been incorporated into aristocratic society, so there is no connection with them.”
Tyria said, turning her head to the royal castle in the distance.
“I’m worried. “I think we need to make some connections at this banquet.”
At those words, Elric felt a prick in his stomach.
-Please go. Try your best to think of a way to avenge this insult. I’m waiting with a happy heart.
It reminded me of my job at the tailor shop.
It’s fate, so I don’t know if it’s an ally, but it seems like it’s definitely created an enemy.
Tyria asked as an awkward smile appeared on Elric’s lips.
“… “Are you sure you’re okay?”
“It’s okay. “It’s really okay.”
Did you make an enemy by making a hasty choice?

No, that writer, Nimrud Yeongsik, was too reckless for that to be the case.
How disgusting it was to see a beast-like person suffering from venereal disease set his sights on Tyria.
For Elric to endure it for the sake of his family’s future, it’s something he couldn’t even imagine.
When I arrived at the mansion, trying to calm my anxiety, Rdio, who had left early in the morning, had returned.
“Ah, did you finish your outing well?”
Rdio welcomed me with a grin.
But there was a hint of trouble in that look.
Elric responded with puzzlement.
“They said the clothes would be delivered tomorrow. “But why does your expression look like that?”
“Well, that…” .”
Rdio looked at Elric and Tyria.
“… “They said it would be difficult to deliver the bed today.”
Elric felt his heart sink with despair.
“Well, what does that mean?”
“I tried to get something even if it was small, but the timing was jealous. It is said that local nobles often came to the capital and looked for new furniture. Because of that… .”
Rdio could not bear to continue speaking and lowered his head.
Elric looked at Tyria blankly.
She looked at Rdio quietly with a puzzled look on her face and said.
“… “I guess I’ll have to share the same bed again today.”
It was dangerous.
Today was really dangerous.
I didn’t know what the danger was, but I instinctively had the thought that it would be harder to sleep today than the day before.
Elric looked at Rdio with the meaning of rescue, but he just turned away from Elric.
It was that moment.
“Have a meal!”
The maid broke the mood.
Rdio slithered away like a shadow.
Elric screamed inwardly.

If you had to choose the richest family in the Kingdom of Ferdin, the name that came up was none other than the name of the count family.
It was a strange thing.
Usually, the person who held the real power of the kingdom was the royal family or a great noble belonging to a duke or marquis.
However, such a strange occurrence could not have been completely unheard of.
The person who proved it was Count Dalton Nimrud.
The wealth of running a large estate comparable to that of a duke’s family, the power to move through numerous connections both inside and outside the kingdom, and even the ambition he himself has.
Dalton Nimrud was a count with great power that rivaled even King Ferdin.
However, it would be a lie to say that he also has no weaknesses.
No, he had a weakness that everyone knew about.
“… Baron Portman?”
“Yes, yes…” .”
The office of the Nimrud family residence located in the royal capital.
In the middle of a space filled with colorful decorations and radiating light, Dalton bowed his head and looked at the kneeling man.
Aman Nimrud was his son.
“Not even a baron. “I understand that he is effectively a Young-sik who did not even complete the succession process properly.”
Anger began to appear in his voice.
“Are you just going to get beaten up by a guy like that and then make a fuss?”
Dalton’s eyes sparkled with anger.
At that, Aman’s body shrank even more.
“… “Ugly guy.”
Clicking his tongue, Dalton thought about Portman.
‘We’re involved again like this.’
Dalton’s wrinkles were deep.
What comes to mind was something that happened a few years ago, when Portman’s previous matriarch was still alive.
‘Hoven Portman, I didn’t like him either.’
I approached him out of interest because he was a new nobleman who took control of the territory after driving out Wei Bin, who had guarded the region for over a hundred years.
This was due to the belief that any capable vassal should be recruited at any time.
However, Hoben Portman rejected Dalton outright, as if he knew such intentions.
-I am grateful for the favor, but it feels like it is too much. He is merely a village father who runs a small estate and merchant shop in the countryside.
He humbled himself politely, but it was immediately clear that he just didn’t like being put under someone’s feet.
Because that was his attitude.
Dare to reject Nimrud from Ferdin.
This was a man I really didn’t like.
When he thought about it, Dalton’s frown deepened.
“My son or my father… .”
“Oh, father?”
“go away. “I don’t even want to see it.”
Hehe, Aman took a deep breath, nodded, and quickly left.
Dalton sighed.
“That kind of thing is also a bastard.”
It was absolutely useless.
It’s not a secret place, but a dressmaker’s shop on No. 1 Street, which has the most traffic among nobles.
The rumor that Aman was attacked by Elric Portman could not help but spread.
It wasn’t a good picture.
Since the man who was the face of the family was harmed by an idiot who was no more than a baron, he had to take care of it for the sake of his prestige.
Dalton left the mansion immediately.
‘What has already happened cannot be helped.’
One, such things should not be easily seen by others.
You can commit rudeness, but you must show that you are fully responsible for it.
The place he arrived at was a corner of an alley remote from the royal capital.
A person wearing a robe with a sword stood in front of the shabby wooden door.
He must have recognized Dalton, but he stepped out of the way from the door.
It was the moment I walked in the door.
“… “It’s difficult to come here so often.”
A gloomy voice rang out.
Dalton tensed up.
He was someone who could not be pushed aside by the power of his power, but he needed to be careful with this opponent.
“Things have changed a little.”
“If it has changed, which one? “What happened to your son getting beaten up?”
Did you already know this?
Dalton’s brow furrowed.
The man covered in a robe smiled and waved his hand.
“Well, since I’m helping you this much, I’ll understand. “I know I wouldn’t have come this far if it weren’t for you.”
He got up from his seat.
Dalton took a deep breath and spoke to him.
“… “Can you handle it?”
“Let’s make sure first.”
“what?”
“We don’t know any other way than to kill. “Is that guy who kidnapped your son worth killing?”
The tone of voice that showed no qualms about murder was very scary.
Tension welled up inside him, but Dalton was not a sloppy person who would let it show.
“As long as there is no evidence that the murder was related to me.”
“I’m asking you to clean up after yourself. I like my hair too. And then the guy who bullied your son passed away! “All we have to do is spread the rumor, right?”
He said something I don’t know if it was sarcastic or not, and then shrugged his shoulders.
It was an affirmation in its own way.
“Please take care of me.”
Dalton said and added a word.
“I have no doubt that you, the so-called messengers of the West, would be able to accomplish this with your eyes closed.”
The man grinned at those words.
“Thank you for using Wolyoung today. “Noble nobleman.”
Wolyeong, it was the name of a group of assassins who assassinated the most influential people in the western war zone.
