“Chairman, we will be arriving soon.”
Somewhere in first class on the transcontinental railroad.
Edward felt like he wanted to hang himself when he heard the secretary’s voice.
‘Oh, I don’t want to get off.’
His face is pale as he lets out a soulless laugh.
There was no strength in my body at all, and even my voice was deadened.
“Okay, I should go… .”
That was the moment when he suddenly woke up.
“Oh, and.”
“What is it again?”
“There are people who get off at Wibin together. “First class.”
Suddenly, Edward’s body shook.
The gaze turned to the secretary. He had a somewhat serious expression on his face.
“… “It’s the Empire side.”
“It’s sick, really.”
Edward clicked his tongue and rolled his head.
‘I absolutely refuse to let the situation become more complicated than this.’
Whatever it is, you can’t help but take action yourself.
As I move while thinking, my body is already out of the seat.
When I saw the seat with the door just opening like that, I saw it.
“Oh, what is Geumgong doing here?”
There was a man coming out pushing a wheelchair.
Next to him, there was also a man who looked like a man wearing a bowler hat.
Edward had to work hard to manage his facial expressions.
“Is this an amazing coincidence?”
“It’s a coincidence, I don’t think so.”
Elbus Graham, the Empire’s Greatest Leader, smiled and answered back.
Edward’s fists clenched.
‘Why is that person… No, it’s natural since he’s Kasha’s friend, right? In that case, the author next to me must have come along because of his business.’
Even though he wore a fedora, I was all too familiar with the appearance of that lanky man.
After all, does it make sense to do business without knowing the face of that famous person?
Edward bowed his head.
“… “I see noble blood.”
The 3rd prince of Mahir, the royal family’s king, was here.
I guess it has to be a purpose.
‘I’m not the only one who thought of Kasha.’
The war in the West began in earnest.
Those who wanted victory took action.
To obtain a joker card called Sword Demon.

The atmosphere in the Portman household was more chaotic than ever in recent times.
It had to be that way.
Wizard.
The workers must be nervous because a high-ranking wizard with gold-plated robes has visited a remote area like this.
There was more to it than that.
“You’re here to meet the master, right?”
“You look really young? Plus a woman… .”
“Master, where on earth and what have you been doing?”
“Why, you know what? A lover I met during my wandering days… .”
“Oh my god, that’s not right… .”
thud!
My fist hit the wall.
The maids were excited when they saw the woman who appeared.
“Hi! Chief maid?!”
“What are you doing? Why don’t you go to work already?”
To Elric, she was a warm grandmother, but to the maids, she was like a god of death.
When she spoke sternly, the maids bowed their heads and left.
“… You can come out now. lady.”
Tyria, who was standing behind the door, finally entered the room and sat down at the desk after all the maids had left.
There was sadness in Rhonda’s eyes as she looked at her.
‘You really came out like that for no reason.’
The moment Tyria brought the wizard, Elric immediately took her to the drawing room, saying he had a private conversation with the wizard.
Everyone in the mansion could see him grabbing his wrist and dragging him away.
In other words, the workers had to see Tyria left behind.
There was no denying that it was a scene that stimulated the imagination.
In other words, it was a scene that made the mansion’s discipline lax.
Doesn’t the fact that there are rumors worth chewing on mean that respect and fear for the owner have diminished?
In times like these, we need to push the users even harder… .

“lady?”
“… “I went out alone and I was tired.”
Tyria was in a state where she could not do that.
Rhonda had been the person who had watched Tyria closest ever since she first came into this household.
It is inevitable to know.
That expressionless face is a mask, and the real Tyria Portman hidden beneath it is actually a very delicate girl.
However, I couldn’t hastily offer comfort.
Because I know that it will make Tyria miserable.
It was not the servant’s role to lift the mask she did not want to take off.
“First, I will go back and treat the guests. Madam… .”
“I will rest here for a while. “Please tell me when the matriarch leaves the parlor.”
“Yes, I will come.”
With a click, the door closed, leaving Tyria alone in the room.
*
I want to lie down.
Tyria, who was curled up in a chair, thought of such thoughts.
But the reason I can’t do that is because today’s work isn’t over.
Once I’m done with the work in the living room, I’ll have to go down again to meet them. If I lie down, my hair won’t get messy and my clothes will get wrinkled.
Even at moments like these, the thought of maintaining dignity as a hostess floats through my mind.
Tyria washed her face dry.
Even though I was cancerous, I felt uncomfortable because my mind was not in order, and my stomach did not calm down and I felt nauseous.
I took a long breath, but the longer I held my breath, the more the anxiety inside me grew, rather than calming down.
-Okay, getting married… ! yo. this!
-Well, the pseudonym… It seems like I’m writing… yo. this.
-I’ll take you… yo. this.
What comes to mind is a girl who seemed full of shyness.
The girl’s blushing cheeks as she spoke clearly showed her feelings, and her reaction the moment she met Elric was extremely clear.
As I face that feeling, my thoughts continue to grow.
Even though I promised not to ask, I wonder what Elric’s last 10 years were like.
What kind of life did he live and who did he meet when he was away from me?
I wanted to know, but I was scared.
I’m afraid that something I don’t want to hear will come out.
I wonder if my relationship with that girl is really what I thought.
‘ah… .’
It seems stupid.
I felt like such a fool that I was losing my mind alone.
Yeah, that could happen.
Isn’t he someone who lived as a wanderer for 10 years in his prime?
You must have met a lot of people and built up a lot of relationships, but it would be even more strange that none of them were relationships that could be called romantic relationships.
The reason this fact hurt so much is because I expected it.
As the saying goes, the higher you fall, the more it hurts, and it must have been because Elric was so kind when he came back.
You shouldn’t fall into these thoughts.
I tried to calm my mind, but my thoughts kept going in a bad direction.
What kind of intention was behind Elric’s actions of pulling her and trapping her in his arms at the moment of meeting?
Didn’t you want to show your expression?
Was it an instinctive desire to hide the fact that he had an affair?
No, is it right to call this an affair?
‘… house owner.’
I thought back to myself.
When I tried to find the reason for my anxiety, there was only one answer.
‘I am… .’
I’m anxious.
I’m afraid you’ll leave.
Like the girl said, I’m afraid we’ll leave this place together.
I’m afraid of being left alone again.
That’s so unsettling.
To the point where I regret spending such happy days.
“Huh… .”
My breath came out shakily.
My head hurt.

Elric recalled.
It was about several battles with Igret Valentia.
‘I should have killed you when we first met.’
No matter how many times I thought about it, it was like that.
It was a defeat to just faint because they thought it was just a child.
Even considering how I have been interfering with everything on the battlefield since then.
Especially when I think about today’s events.
I should have killed him.
It was complacent sympathy that created this situation.
Elric looked at Igret with such regret in mind.
Sweet.
The atmosphere in the drawing room was sharp.
Igret, sitting across from me, was sipping tea with her robe covered up.
It’s too late to regret, so think about the future.
Why didn’t she use magic right away, as I knew she would?
‘It must be depletion of mana. The mana felt is not yet complete.’
So why are you hiding your identity?
‘Because he is someone who shouldn’t be here. ‘Because this is when the clash of the seven rivers began.’
The situation isn’t all that bad.
The best option was to get her out of the way through conversation.
How can you not know that it is best to win without fighting?
However, if that fails, the next best option is to secretly kill her at this point.
You can leave the body to Danal to dispose of.
and,
‘There are challenges that must be resolved before using the next best solution.’
Who else knows that she came here?
Who else should we kill to treat this as a complete disappearance?
The answer was obvious.
‘Golden Ball.’
The friendship between Geumgong and Yeomhwa was already widely known.
It was natural since 10% of EW’s shares were in her control.
Therefore, it is obvious that it was because of Geumgong that his location was discovered.
After all, was it really necessary to dispose of gold balls on the train that day?
‘… No, if you kill Geumgong on the train, you will not be able to escape the investigation net.’
It really hurts that this was an unavoidable situation.
Elric gripped his staff tightly.
And he asked, spreading his fierce life throughout the space.
“Why did you come here? “I haven’t heard about that yet.”
At that, Igret slightly raised her head.
It was red. Hair, eyes, clothes, and skin.
“Yes… .”
She answered, avoiding Elric’s gaze.
“… “He got along well with his wife.”
Elric’s brow twitched.
It was a soft voice that did not seem intimidating and seemed impossible to come out of Igret the Flame’s mouth.
“what?”
“It was nice to see. just… .”
Igret lowered her head.
“… I hope you continue to do well. Because it looks good. huh. so.”
Is she crazy?
Elric thought of a foul word.
I couldn’t figure out her purpose at the moment.
Is it favor, or is it intimidation?
“Are you here to talk about that?”
Discomfort began to well up inside Elric.
