Episode 300
Chapter 1
There was a pause.
Let’s first understand the situation.
Mason Theron, Gray’s father.
Clearly, he was not the kind of man to be swayed by external events.
A man of strong convictions.
Would it be easier to say it like this?
He is just a natural born soldier.
A soldier who does not hesitate to sacrifice himself.
That’s the overall framework.
Oh, really.
{Confucius.}
“Oh, tell me.”
{… … Do you trust me?}
What’s the point of saying it twice?
I don’t accept just anyone as my person.
Gray Shearan.
I accepted him as my person because I believed he was trustworthy and worthy of my faith and trust.
He smiled at the guy and said.
“Oh. Trust me.”
{… … .}
“No matter what happens, I won’t blame you. Do as you believe.”
gray.
The guy says, bringing his clenched right fist to his heart.
{……insect!}

A story from father to son.
This word refers to the son inheriting his father’s personality, behavior, habits, etc.
Clearly, Gray Shearan resembles her father, Mason Shearan.
I also inherited a lot.
As mentioned earlier, Gray was thinking of killing all the rotten nobles and even the king for the sake of the people.
Because that’s how I learned it.
Because Gray was like that, Mason Theron, the father who raised Gray like that, deserves to be highly evaluated.
For the people.

He managed his territory firmly, maintained discipline, and punished people regardless of their rank.
Clearly, Mason was a nobleman who was praised by the people.
“Aveiro, you said.”
This is the first thing Gray heard from Mason when he came down to the Marquisate of Cierran.
“I don’t like it.”
“What are you saying?”
Mason’s brow furrows.
“I really don’t like the idea of a commoner, a commoner at that, being in such a position.”
As soon as he heard that, Gray was taken aback.
“What are you talking about?”
Mason, who was savoring his tea, asked back at his son Gray’s words.
“Do you really not know what I am talking about?”
“… … .”
“Do you know how many nobles from other kingdoms have recently visited the Marquisate of Cierran?”
It wasn’t the kind that would catch you off guard.
What I had hoped and hoped would happen just happened.
As Jack had expected, the Marquisate of Cearran was prey to many nations.
“They offered me many things, including trade rights, troops, and military supplies, but I refused them all. Among them was the Tulcan Empire.”
Mason put down his teacup.
widely-
Why is that sound so loud?
“Jack Valantier. He’s a great man. He’s been on the scene for only a few months and he’s been shaking the whole continent. A man like that is bound to do great things. And he trusts you.”
“… … .”
“Didn’t you want to be by his side and with him?”
“Yes, I would like to be with him. But what does that have to do with the previous conversations? Why on earth is Mr. Aveiro in this conversation?”
Mason’s brow furrows.
“Aveiro… … Sir? Sir?”
“… … .”
“You call him your master, a mere commoner? Have you forgotten? You are the eldest son of the Marquis of Siren. The man who will become the Marquis of Siren is your master to a commoner?”
The closer you are to someone, the less you know, and the closer you are to someone, the slower you notice.
“We are different from commoners.”
“What do you mean?”

“station in life.”
These brief conversations brought Gray to a realization.
If I had to add a modifier, I think the word ‘just then’ would be appropriate.

What kind of man is Mason Theron, a father and a man who is praised by all in the Marquess of Theron?
Only then did Gray realize.
“Jack Valantier, that man is a nobleman. He is the manager of those who are nothing more than livestock.”
Gray felt breathless.
“Why would a loyal subject be loyal? If livestock is above the manager, then it is wrong. Isn’t a person who can advise someone who is serving them wrong truly loyal?”
Gray couldn’t stand it anymore and jumped up from his seat.
“What are you talking about now!”
There were nobles who sacrificed themselves to feed the people.
They thought that they were no different from the commoners, that they were essentially the same, just in the position of administrator.
They were most of the nobles of the Teslan Kingdom who were not killed by Jack.
If you look at it broadly, Gray Shearan also falls into that category.
Gray thought.
My father would have been in that category too.
But I guess that wasn’t the case.
A sense of chosenness.
Isn’t this the real sense of chosenness?
Gray felt dizzy.
It was complicated and confusing.
All sorts of strange thoughts come to mind.
‘The reason my father took care of the people was different from mine. Because he was a nobleman, because he was a manager who managed livestock, he took care of the people for his own convenience… … ?’
‘It seemed like a self-sacrifice, because I thought I was fundamentally different from commoners, but in reality, it was completely different… … Oh my god.’
Gray’s grip loosened.
Because Mason’s tone of voice and expression in front of me right now were all telling me that it was ‘true.’
“father!!”
Mason frowned quietly at Gray’s old age.
“Why are you so angry? Think about it.”
Gray turned away as if he didn’t want to hear any more, but stopped when Mason continued speaking.
“If there is no man named Aveiro, the position is yours.”
It wasn’t just that it stopped.
At those shocking words, Gray turned his head and could see.
A smiling Mason.
“The Kingdom of Teslan, do you think that man will be satisfied with this small country? Read the situation and the world. Marquis Siren can become Duke Siren in your generation, or he can become a prime minister or an archduke like other countries.”
Mason also stood up from his seat.
Then he slowly approached Gray and placed both hands on his shoulders.
“Don’t be a branch that stays on the periphery, but become the center. If you don’t become the center, it’s meaningless.”

“… … .”
“You may be skeptical. It may seem complicated and confusing. So think about it this way. Can you trust a man named Aveiro?”
“father…….”
“Why are commoners commoners? They are commoners because they have problems with their bloodline and their lineage. That is the difference between nobles and commoners. The history of their bloodline that they have built up. Yes, that history. Our history that they do not have. That history should always be ours. We should be the masters.”
Mason didn’t see the distorted expression on Gray’s face.
“You are like me. You are the same as me. You care about the people and taking care of them. That is what an administrator is. That is what a true nobleman is.”
Gray closed his eyes tightly.
I didn’t know that maybe this was inevitable.
A new type of enemy.
As Jack’s powers are revealed to the world, new enemies emerge.
These people are packaged as allies, but in reality, they are completely unable to read Jack’s intentions and act in opposition to him, causing trouble.
An internal, cancerous presence.
Gray was sad.
The fact that his own father was such a cancerous being.
“You seem to be deep in thought. Go and rest. If you can’t sleep, take a look around the border.”
Gray entered the room.
So, after spending over a week in his room thinking over and over again, Gray finally decided to pick up the communication device.
{Oh. Trust me.}
“… … .”
{No matter what happens, I won’t blame you. Do as you believe.}
That was the end.
Gray slowly stood up from his seat.
Five Death Knights approach him.
They ask.
(Have you decided?)
It’s a bit strange, but Gray has been ordered by Jack to take a vacation.
Gray walked from the Ascendible Estate to the Cierran Estate where his home was located, like someone going on vacation, and the Death Knights became his companions.
That period lasted a whopping 9 days.
Nine days is not a long time, but it is not a short time either.
Gray had been locked in his room for the past week or so, and the Death Knights hadn’t heard Mason’s conversation at the time, but they were quick to notice.
So I could sense Gray’s feelings.
I’m not talking about one Death Knight, but all five.
Gray looks at them and says.
“egg plant.”
After his mind was definitely made up, Gray’s head was clear.

Because it was clear, Gray’s footsteps, now walking ahead, were more than twice as fast as usual.
Should we say that this is an urgent situation?
I didn’t see through all of Mason, but at least.
At least Gray could sense what kind of judgment the ‘General’ Mason Theron was making.
Gray’s expression slightly distorted as he led the Death Knights to the main building.
I hope not.
I thought to myself that something like that might happen, but I hoped it wouldn’t.
As the saying goes, “a dream catcher catches a person,” this also actually happened.
A large number of knights lined up in front of the main building.
They were soldiers and knights, the elite of the Marquis of Cierran.
It is a kind of unit that is made up of only people of at least commander level.
In terms of circles, there are twenty circles in 7, ten circles in 8, and a whopping four circles in 9.
“At their center was Mason Theron,” he said.
“Have you decided?”
Gray didn’t answer, but looked at the lined up knights and asked.
“What are these?”
“hmm.”
Mason swallowed softly and said as if it was nothing.
“There is a saying that destiny belongs to those who carve it out for themselves. My son, don’t you know it when you see it?”
“Are you an assassination squad?”
“okay.”
It was obvious who was going to be assassinated.
“Do you really want to kill a man named Aveiro like that?”
Do you want to kill me?
Mason did not deny it.
“I know he is capable. I know he is a great man, but he is a commoner. Commoners, no matter how great they are, are still commoners. They should be ruled, not ruled. That is the world, that is fate.”
Gray, who had been bowing his head, slowly raised it.
His expression looked very sad.
I feel like crying.
“Why are you making that face?”
Why are you doing this?
Because I have no choice but to build it.
“I know my father. He will succeed no matter what. I can guess what kind of plan he has devised. He will definitely succeed. After that, my father.”
“I’m going to die.”
“… … .”

Mason smiled, as if relieved.
“That’s why I asked you. If you had decided.”
“… … .”
“I’m going to die. Unlike you, I don’t have that man’s trust.”
Mason continues slowly.
“Ignore me and pretend you don’t know. This ‘Suicide Squad’ will be made up of people who have nothing to do with you.”
“father…….”
“You know nothing. Remember, this is just a stepping stone.”
scaffolding.
It was literally a stepping stone.
“A stepping stone for the revival of the Marquis of Sheeran. I think it’s a really good idea.”
