How to survive as a loser in the Yoo Seong-geom family
Episode 91
Gray Tower (1)
“Run faster!”
Inside the carriage, shaking without warning.
At Isabelle’s urging, the coachman sitting on the coachman’s seat showed his reluctance.
“Oh my, Your Majesty… … We are going at top speed now. The horses are on the verge of death… … .”
As he said, the two horses pulling the carriage had foam at the mouth.
He looks like he might collapse from exhaustion at any moment.
“No way. Stop the carriage for a moment. Your Majesty! Bring the stamina recovery potion you have!!!”
“Do you even know how much a bottle of this costs? It’s not something you put a lot of effort into making just for horses… .”
“Your Majesty is about to die, so why would you waste that kind of money? Right now?”
“… … That’s true.”
Violet took out two bottles of potions as if she had no choice but to listen to Isabelle’s chilling voice.
Isabelle grabbed it as if she was snatching it away and approached the horse, forcing open its mouth as it panted heavily.
Hehehe-
Isabelle poured the potion into the mouth of the struggling horse, unable to overcome her evil spirit, and asked the coachman in a pressing manner.
“Top 1… … So how long does it take to get to the Gray Tower?”
The coachman flinched at her chilling gaze and spoke with a slightly trembling voice.
“At this rate, I think we’ll get there in a day. By the way, I’ve been running day and night for four days to get here, so the price you mentioned is… .”
The groom’s face, which had been struggling to bring up the subject, was as haggard as the horses he was riding.
That’s because he also ran without rest for four days and nights, enduring with Violet’s potion.
“Don’t worry. I’ll give you as much as I can, more than the promised amount, so all you have to do is go as quickly as possible.”
“… … Yes, I understand, Your Majesty. The weather seems to be getting warmer, and we will be leaving soon, so please get on the carriage.”
It was a forced march that made me regret it, as they barged in out of the blue and offered me an enormous amount of money.
‘It really feels like my life is being shortened.’
After confirming that Isabelle was in the carriage, the coachman sighed deeply and swung his whip at the horse again.
“Cheer up, sir. We are in a very urgent situation, so please understand.”
The mouse sitting next to the stable patted his shoulder comfortingly.
The original sister-in-law was more hateful. The coachman sighed deeply again as he recalled the image of the mouse sleeping on the coachman’s bench every night.
one side.
The sight that came into Isabelle’s eyes as she entered the carriage was that of Jean, who was fast asleep and unconscious, with Violet’s thigh cut off.
Violet looks like she’s in her mid to late 20s, but her makeup is heavy and she’s actually older.
Besides, objectively speaking, it’s quite beautiful.
Jin, who was sleeping deeply with Violet’s thigh cut off, looked somehow annoying.
Even knowing his physical condition, I would want to hit him if he wasn’t unconscious.
“Oh my, Miss Isabelle. Why are your eyes open like that?”
“Huh? What did I… … .”
“Your eyes have become very narrow. Is there a problem?”
“… … It’s nothing.”
Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of anger for no apparent reason.
Isabelle, who felt that her own unwavering mind, which was like a clear mirror, was gradually wavering, sat down quietly.
‘It wasn’t like this before… … It’s clear that I’ve been influenced by the master.’
Blaming all of this on Jin, who was passed out.
Right after.
The carriage, which had been stopped for a moment, began to move with a jerk toward the gray tower ruled by Faust.
* * *
“We have arrived, your majesty.”
The coachman, who was almost dead, got down from the stable like a zombie and called out to the three people.
“You’ve finally arrived. Thank you for your hard work.”
After Isabelle, who was carrying Jin, got out of the carriage, Violet searched through her bosom while the mouse was gathering the remaining luggage and put a 100-gold coin into the coachman’s hand.
“Take it. It’s the promised wages.”
“Oh my… … Thank you! The rumors were true after all.”
The coachman’s face, which looked like it might die at any moment, suddenly brightened.
But what about rumors?
Violet asked a question after hearing the coachman’s last story, which he blurted out.
“What are those rumors?”
The coachman, who realized his mistake too late, covered his mouth.
“Ah! That’s… … nothing. I made a slip of the tongue, Your Majesty. Please forgive me!”
“Go ahead and talk. It’s okay.”
The coachman opened his mouth as if he had no choice but to respond to Violet’s urging.
“That’s… … The coachmen and innkeepers who transport the young masters from the Yuseong Sword Family definitely get a big cut of the business… … I heard that there was even a coachman who took gold coins for transporting them for only two days.”
“… … Yes? You gave me a ride for two days and only gave me one gold coin?”
The price was ridiculous.
Considering the average unit price, it would be an unbelievable fortune to receive 1 gold in two days, but a hundred times that.
‘What on earth is your ulterior motive for spending so much money? It seems like you have some kind of ulterior motive… ‘
The coachman cautiously added his words to the puzzled Violet.
“That’s not all. It’s a fact that has spread not only in the Magic Nation but also among the grooms of the kingdom. Wherever the young master goes, he spends money like crazy… … No, not like crazy, but in a flashy manner… … No, ughhhhh… … .”

The coachman, whose mind was worn out and who had made repeated slips of the tongue, hurriedly covered his own mouth.
“Hmm… … Well, that’s fine. I’m sure you have your own thoughts. You may go back now.”
“Yes, yes! Thank you, Your Majesty!”
Violet, who had been rubbing her chin for a moment, gestured to the coachman. As if it was the moment, the coachman bowed and quickly drove the carriage away.
Then, a mouse carrying all sorts of luggage came towards her, squirming.
“Your Majesty, is this the capital of the Magic Nation with the Gray Tower?”
His voice was extremely cautious, as he had vividly witnessed her cruelty during her time in the Underworld.
“Yes. Do you see that tall building over there? That’s the Gray Tower where Faust rules. It’s the de facto royal palace of the Magic Nation.”
The mouse, who followed her finger, opened its eyes wide. The tower, built so high that it seemed to reach the sky, looked much more luxurious than the palace of the Magic Kingdom that could be seen in the distance.
It was a sight that was difficult for a mouse to understand. A building more luxurious than the one where the king, the highest person in the country, resided.
Violet added an explanation to the surprised mouse.
“You can tell just by looking at the exterior of the building. Who is the real power in this country?”
Of course, the king of the Magic Kingdom is not Faust, but at this point, the position of king is merely a nominal one.
He is a wizard who has reached the 9th level of transcendence and a monster elf who has lived for over a thousand years.
Because Faust Rune, one of the three heroes recorded in history, is still standing strong in the capital.
“Then, shall we go meet our long-awaited evil friend?”
Violet walks towards the ash-gray tower without hesitation.
Isabelle followed her, carrying Jean and a mouse, who was carrying Isabelle’s spear, even though they were not carrying two backpacks.
Soon after, they reached the entrance to the tower, where four wizards blocked their path.
“Stop. First, state your purpose for visiting the Ashen Tower and your identity.”
It seems like each and every one of them is a wizard who has reached a considerable level of skill.
These were people who radiated extraordinary aura that could not be compared to the iron golems that guarded the Tower of the Iron Lion.
“We are from the Meteor Sword Family. My name is Violet Aster, the head of the ceremonial family. The people behind me are also all from the Meteor Sword Family.”
Violet took out her identification card and handed it to them. The wizards who saw the vividly engraved symbol of the Meteor Sword Family let their guard down and spoke.
“Somehow, your demeanor is unusual. You must be from the Meteor Sword Family of the Kingdom of Cassel. And if you are Lady Violet Aster… … aren’t you the head of the House of Ceremony, one of the four major collateral families?”
“Yes, I am honored that you noticed.”
Violet smiled and answered them. One of the wizards, who seemed to have completely let his guard down, asked Violet a question.
“But… …Why is the head of the ceremonial family here?”
“Oh, it’s nothing special, I just came to see an old friend. I need his help right now.”
“If you say friend, tell me his name and I will bring him to you.”
“Faust Rune, the master of the Ashen Tower. Something has come up that I need to see his face for.”
Ssaaaah-
As soon as Violet finished speaking, an ominous energy emanated from the wizards’ bodies.
Did it hurt their pride to hear that the great wizard Faust was their friend?
Suddenly the wizards started spewing out hostility.
“I’m sorry, but I think you must go back now. The great Faust Rune told me a few days ago that he would not be accepting any guests for a while as he needed to focus on his research.”
“Hmm… … Then that’s difficult. Can you at least tell them that Violet, the herbalist of the Yuseong Sword Family, has come to see me?”
“It is impossible. Master Faust… … .”
Kwaang!
Before the wizard could finish speaking, a giant hand made of black mist shot up from behind Violet and slammed his head into the ground.
The well-maintained ground caved in, sending shards of brick flying everywhere.
“Oh, right. It’s the same old story now as it was then. If you knew I was coming, why did you make it such a hassle… … Tsk.”
“What are you doing!”
“You attacked a wizard from the Ashen Tower out of the blue!!! Even if you are the head of a ceremonial family, this is going too far!”
It wasn’t just the wizards who were taken aback by the sudden turn of events. Isabelle, who was carrying Jin, was also shocked and shouted at Violet.
“Violet! What are you doing! We need help from the Ashen Tower… … .”
Before Isabelle could even finish speaking, the wizards who had risen into the air were reaching out their hands toward her group.
Wooooow-
An unusual flow of mana began to rush towards the three wizards.
It was an action that clearly showed an intention to attack. Violet clicked her tongue as she watched their actions.
“Tsk tsk, Miss Isabelle and those people don’t know anything.”
“What do you mean?”
Hwaaaaaaaah-
A black mist rose up behind Violet’s back.
Right after.
Just like before, a mass of fog transformed into the shape of a giant hand and flew towards the three wizards.
The shocked wizards tried to dodge or block Violet’s blows, but it was impossible.
Kwaang! Kwaang! Kwaang!
It was a powerful blow that made the walls of the magic tower cave in. With a bang, the magicians who had been vomiting blood fell unconscious to the floor helplessly.
“Eww!!!”
“What! What’s going on!!!”
“Gyaaaaaaah!!!”
The sudden commotion caused citizens to scream and quickly scatter in all directions, caught in the confusion.
“Oh my. Be quiet.”
In this chaotic situation, the only one who remained calm was Violet.
Isabelle unconsciously shouted at her.
“Do you know what you’ve just done? If you’re not careful, you could end up in a diplomatic situation… .”
“That’s not it. I just gave Faust what he wanted. Don’t worry, there won’t be any problems.”
“… … What do you mean?”
Violet spoke in a calm voice to Isabelle, who was looking puzzled, and to the mouse whose face had turned pale to the point of bluish-white.
“It’s true. Maybe it’s because I’ve lived for so long… … or maybe it was just like that from the beginning… … .”
Wheeing-
A gust of wind blew and the space above the entrance to the tower began to distort.
As if she had expected this, Violet continued speaking, staring up into space.
“That bastard Faust, he’s so obsessed with playing king that he only reveals himself when his subordinate gets beaten up.”
Right after.
Faust, who appeared through the distorted space, smiled faintly at Violet.
“You pervert. Even though we’ve been friends for a long time, your words are a bit harsh.”
