Chapter 156 – 156. Meeting
“Hmm.”
The food luxuriously prepared on the spacious table was nothing compared to a banquet in the royal palace.
Even though Violen is the Bright family’s territory located relatively south, the food is made with precious ingredients such as seafood from the western sea and fruits from the eastern sea.
A strange silence spread over it.
If it was natural, it was natural.
Originally, it was supposed to be a meeting place for the Verdi family and the Bright family to congratulate each other.
In the meantime, the Geronia family became involved.
Even though the Bright family wanted to send a wedding invitation, they had no choice but to keep their mouths shut after hearing that Deius, the host of the event, had invited them.
The name ‘Sanggyeonrye’ has long since become meaningless. It even makes you wonder why we have to endure this awkward situation together.
“Mmm, it’s delicious.”
Of course, there were people who were not swayed by the atmosphere.
In the case of Deia, she was quite satisfied enjoying the delicacies that are not usually available in North Wales.
“Try some of this.”
“Eat on your own.”
“Then you wouldn’t be as skinny as you are now. “Make sure to eat a lot.”
While sighing, Deia glanced at Erica, who was sitting on the other side of the table.
“You should have stayed with me and taken care of it. “I’m a person who does great things, but I wonder if I’ll collapse if I keep doing this.”
A word that is said with a smile but is clearly filled with hostility. That alone makes the atmosphere cold.
“If you force-feed them food, they will become stressed. I like Deius the way it is now. Even if you fall, I will be by your side and support you.”
Deia flinched slightly when this person also answered openly. I had no idea that Erica would express her love for Deius so openly.
“Erica usually takes great care of me. “She doesn’t have to worry.”
Even though he was secretly worried that I was thin, including the last time he brought me dessert, he tended to bring delicacies to the lab without being forced to do so.
Wow.
A feeling of weight and soreness on the top of the foot.
When I glanced at Deia who was stepping on my feet, she was smiling like a mask.
“why?”
“… … “Do it in moderation.”
I don’t know why you’re fighting with Erica, but now is not the time.
Turn your gaze to others.
In the case of Gideon, who came from the Xeronia family, and the head of the family, Gilthea Xeronia, their mouths twitched and they wanted to say something right away, but they were unable to say a word because they felt like they had unintentionally become uninvited guests.
“Hmm, Lord Deius. “Now I think you need to explain the reason.”
In the end, it was Elan, the head of the Bright family and Erica’s father, who spoke.
“I thought today was an opportunity to further solidify the betrothal relationship between Erica and Lord Deius, but I guess that wasn’t the case.”
He slowly turned his gaze towards Geronia and continued speaking.
“Aren’t there guests you don’t really need?”
Gilthea, whose red hair stretches back like a lion’s mane, snorts and replies.
“We also have a relationship with that young lady.”
“… … .”
“When did you come to me wagging your tail and say you wanted to marry Gideon, and then insult us like this just because we hesitated for a moment?”
bang.
Gilthea, who must have been overcome with emotion as she spoke, suddenly stood up and glared at me.
“I will tell you clearly. “The other members of the family all said that it was a chance to become a genius given by the goddess and that they should show off to you, the chief priest.”
“Ah, father!”
Gideon was taken aback by Gilthea’s sudden reaction to overturn the board and tried to stop him, but Gilthea’s fingertips were already pointing at me.
“We will rise again eventually. From the looks of it, it looks like they called us to discipline the Bright family, but I will make you regret calling us out like mutts later.”
Gilthea turns around to go outside. I’ve heard that he has a rough personality, but he definitely has that tendency.
In particular, it was a thick forearm that gave the impression that the martial artist’s veins were really well embedded.
First, I tried to open my mouth to catch him.
“That’s terrible.”
Deia, who was eating chicken next to me, rested her chin and said something.
Gilthea’s gaze returns to those words. Even though his viciously distorted murderous spirit poured out at Deia, Deia stabbed the chicken with a fork and flicked his wrist.
“It’s your fault that Zeronia fell.”
“What did we do wrong! “We have nothing to do with His Majesty’s assassination!”
“If you get close to the sun and it burns up, is it the sun’s fault or is it the person who got close that is at fault?”
“Four years… … !”
“He shouldn’t have grown so big that he could threaten the throne. “You better start a rebellion, you bastard.”
“That comment you just made! “Can you take responsibility?”
It was quite a risky situation to just casually say the word rebellion.
Deia shrugs her shoulders and answers.
“I don’t know, I guess I have an evil spirit in my body.”
Deia glances in my direction and laughs it off. They were confident because they knew that their position would not be broken by making such a statement.
“And there is nothing wrong? What you did to the people of Setima was truly outrageous. “What kind of bullshit is this?”
“That was war and that is what our ancestors did in the past! We also built a hugely valuable piece of land and a memorial stone for him. “Aren’t the enslaved Marias living in that land now?”
“If you take responsibility like that, you can just admit it and move on. But you’re just saying it’s unfair because you’re so stubborn!”
“… … .”
“Honestly, did you really reflect on yourselves and give up the land to build a memorial stone? “I cut my own flesh while begging the royal family to stop pecking me.”
It wasn’t wrong.

Therefore, Gilthea’s words could no longer continue, and one-sided verbal violence began.
“In the end, I came here because I wanted to gain something. “I was wondering if the memorial priest would show us some mercy.”
“… … .”
“But when I actually got here. what? It looks like things are going to go crazy? Hey, this body is unmanned! Are you going to try and catch me? I’m just shaking my head in shame! “If you’re going to do that, pull out your sword and attack me!”
Deia speaks very passionately. Erica glanced at me and asked me if I was really okay with this, but I just nodded softly.
But I guess that’s what I saw.
“hey! You are Mr. “Her brother is fighting so hard because of you, so are you flirting with her fiancé with just a glance?”
“… … You can stop. Now sit down.”
“Ugh, anyway, these guys are all so weird.”
Meanwhile, Deia takes a swig of wine. Her actions may have been seen as innocent.
Do the people here know that this is actually quite calculated?
Deia and I had already agreed to speak before entering the banquet hall.
This situation is one where both parties are uncomfortable.
It is a self-evident fact that the one who lacks nothing gets up first.
How much can each family endure? To see where the line is for them, Deia went on an emotional rampage like this.
What I couldn’t confirm from my position was that Deia forcibly took the cards from their hands for me, even throwing away the image, and showed it to me.
Thanks to you, I was confident.
The Bright family never showed any signs of backing down.
The Geronia family.
“Please sit down. “I will warn Deia.”
Gilthea cleared her throat at my words and sat back down in her seat, feeling embarrassed.
What ended up happening and being aggressive was a kind of spirit fight. The intention may have been to declare that we will not be manipulated by you.
Deia’s side came out stronger, and in the end, their hand was completely ruined.
Although we started from an advantageous position, Deia still won in a kind of psychological warfare.
“The reason I called you here is none other than this.”
Everyone pays attention and listens to what I say. If Deia gave the whip, it’s my turn to give the carrot.
“It is to give you the opportunity to contribute to the Kingdom.”
It may sound like they’re trying to use you, and that’s true. Rather, the expressions of the two families slowly brighten.
At a time when the royal authority is soaring to the sky, we already know that there are a lot of people who fall just by serving the royal family and coming into the royalist faction.
“It wouldn’t be a bad offer.”
* * *
A kind of secret meeting held in the name of a meeting.
Although the three families spent time until late evening, no conclusion was reached yet, so they decided to continue the discussion tomorrow.
A kind of operation time.
The Bright family’s eldest son and second son headed straight to their father, Elan’s office.
As soon as you enter, Elia, the eldest son, opens his mouth.
“The Commander’s proposal is not that bad. But it’s a pity.”
It was good that he was given the opportunity to become friendly with the royal family, but I had a strong feeling that his engagement to Erica had actually been broken.
The Xeronia family will probably accept that they have a chance to wag their tail at the royal family.
For the Bright family, who wanted to solidify the relationship between their families through marriage, it was a result that, although not bad, was not very satisfactory.
Suboptimal, not optimal.
“It was obvious that that stupid bitch, Erica, was already taking the memorialist’s side.”
At Elia’s words, Elan, the head of the family, also let out a deep sigh of regret.
At that time, Edwon, the second son, joins in with a confident smile.
“Then let’s go in a different direction.”
“hmm?”
“Is there some secret plan?”
Edwon pounded his chest with confidence as he received the gaze of his eldest son and father.
“I will marry Deia Verdi.”
“… … “Is that possible?”
They were two people who viewed Deia Verdi with untrustworthy eyes because they had personally seen Deia Verdi’s strength and intelligence.
Rather, Edwon responds with a refreshing smile.
“From earlier, Deia Verdi kept glancing in my direction. “When I counted the number of hits to the eyes, the number was over double digits.”
Although the two people are surprised by those words, they also see possibility.
Edwon was a particularly handsome man in the Bright family. Of course, her side with women is quite spectacular, but that would be an advantage in that she could skillfully seduce Deia.
“Well, I liked it because it was pretty even. “Erica failed, so I will take responsibility for it.”
In fact, even if I say it this way, Edwon was also quite satisfied with Deia’s appearance.
“Now that I see her, she is quite an emotional woman. If I just make a few fateful situations natural, my speaking skills will be enough.”
Edwon had already made eye contact several times and was convinced that Deia had a crush on him.
* * *
The next morning.
Since the meeting called ‘Sanggyeonrye’ is scheduled to be held in the evening, it is time to freely walk around the surrounding area for a while.
Deia was sitting on a bench in the Bright family’s garden, with her arms crossed and her legs crossed.
Over there, Deius and Erica were spending time looking at the flower beds, which was odd and annoying.
‘Why is that idiot doing something unnecessary?’
I’m not going to marry Erica anyway, so why am I wasting my time?
It’s been a while since we got together as a family, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have a conversation among family members.
Isn’t family more important now than family planning?
‘That woman wasn’t even planned in the first place.’
Deia, who had been glaring at the two while sighing, slowly turned her head when she sensed a sign of popularity next to her.
Edwon Brillian, the second son of the Bright family, stood smiling brightly and holding flowers.
“I thought you liked the family flower, so I picked it.”
“… … Ah, yes.”
Deia looked at Edwon while trying to control her expression as best as she could.
The fierceness visible through a bright smile.
‘Ah, I finally got it out.’
Yesterday, Deia kept looking at Edwon because he was bothered by food stuck in his teeth. It was so annoying that I had the urge to pull out my teeth, but fortunately it didn’t last until today.
“Would you mind spending some time with me?”
‘What is this, you bastard?’
I wondered why they suddenly started working on it.
‘Ha, did she look like a light-assed bitch?’
In a split second, Deia could clearly see what the Bright family was trying to do, and she snorted.
I felt like there was no ventilation in my brain, so I was going to ask if you could at least make a bullet hole.
Looking at Deius and Erika beyond, I felt heartbroken for no reason.
“Follow me.”
Deia suddenly got up and walked towards the two people.
