Return of the Calamity-Class Death Knight Chapter 106

The Return of the Destruction Level Death Knight Episode 106

Episode 106: Count (2)

The news that Viscount Haksen had been promoted to count family quickly spread throughout the West.

The nobles of the West who heard the news literally began to seethe.

In the eyes of the nobles, Viscount Haksen had too many shortcomings to be promoted to count.

“Does it make sense to call it an earldom for a family that until recently was an unremarkable family whose location was unknown?”

“It is said that the Haksen family’s entire fortune is a small wheat field. How can such a small family be promoted to a count family!”

“When I found out, there weren’t even any guards, let alone knights! “How can a family like that be a count?”

In fact, the Haxen family was not as small as they thought.

This is because Olivia Copperhead became independent and took over half of the family’s land, and Damian Haxen was crucial.

A middle class status, closeness to the religious order, and a hero of the kingdom who prevented treason.

Considering Damian Haxen’s achievements, it was not at all strange for Viscount Haxen to receive the title of earl.

However, a person’s jealousy has a way of narrowing their way of thinking.

“It’s just that the children are good, but the family is doing well.”

“If it weren’t for Damian Haxen, it would be nothing.”

The nobles of the West began to slander Viscount Haxen and Damian Haxen separately.

There was another reason why the reaction of the western nobles was particularly strong.

“If this continues, won’t Viscount Haksen become a new great nobleman?”

Great nobleman was not a separately appointed title.

It was like an honor given to the family with the most power in the area.

However, it was the nobles who were hung up on it.

There was definitely something that came with fame.

Originally, the position of great nobleman in the West was held by the Earl of Copperhead.

However, the Copperhead family recently got into big trouble when they held a joust and it was linked to black magic.

Not only that, but Olivia Copperhead, the eldest daughter, inherited half of the land and became independent.

Now the Copperhead family was just a noble family in disguise.

So, recently, the families that were said to be using a lot of power in the West were all aiming to become the next great noble.

In such a situation, there was no way that Viscount Haksen could have looked nice since he had suddenly received the title of earldom.

Then one day, an invitation came to the nobles.

The nobles who looked at the contents of the invitation could not help but feel absurd.

“what? Are you holding a celebration to commemorate receiving the title?”

“Viscount Haxen, this man is truly crazy!”

The nobles’ reaction was literally like pouring fuel on a fire.

“everyone! Take a look! “Viscount Haksen is openly showing his ambition!”

“Why are you inviting us? “It’s to find a family to become a vassal!”

“Viscount Haxen must be targeting the great nobles too!”

In the eyes of western nobles, the Haksen family’s actions seemed like a declaration that they would become great nobles.

“The country bumpkin is overexerting himself for no reason.”

“A man who ran a wheat field the size of his palm is holding a celebration? “What a ridiculous thing to say!”

“It seems like they thought it was just a neighborhood party. “I’m so dumbfounded.”

The nobles of the West began to laugh at Viscount Haksen’s actions.

“I don’t know if we found the right place to hold the celebration.”

“At any rate, that old mansion will bring people together.”

“I don’t know if I’m going to prepare the food properly? “I went there and they only served food that looked like beef porridge, didn’t it?”

“How pathetic music can be… … “Isn’t that taking a circus troupe from the streets and having them perform?”

“I’m more curious about what type of hair they will come out with than anything else. “What do people in the countryside know about fashion?”

The western nobles were sure that it would be a terrible celebration.

“I plan to participate. “I can’t wait to see how pathetic the celebration will be.”

“I feel the same way. “You can’t miss out on such a fun spectacle.”

The nobles of the West united in spirit.

Thanks to this, the number of participants in the celebration increased.

“This is Spring Castle!”

At a time when the western nobility was at its peak.

Damien and his family were at a castle built on the Gargari Plain.

“Oh my, the castle is really beautiful.”

“Mother, look over there. “Who on earth carved it?”

The family was amazed as they looked around Spring Castle.

Spring Castle, which was built relatively recently, was a castle that considered not only functional aspects but also aesthetic aspects.

The shining white walls were as beautiful as well-made pottery.

In contrast, a black roof covered the spire.

At the main entrance, a delicately carved statue stood ready to welcome visitors.

“Damian! “Did your Majesty really say that he would hand over this castle to us?”

My father, Count Haxen, asked with an excited face.

Having a castle was the wish of every nobleman.

But not everyone could have it. The price itself was expensive, and the operating costs were also high. And I had to prove that I was in the right position.

In such a situation, I couldn’t help but be happy that I was able to get such a wonderful castle.

“It was clearly written that way in the school paper.”

“As expected, Your Highness is very generous!”

The family toured the castle and headed to the banquet hall.

The banquet hall prepared for large parties was very spacious and luxurious. It seemed like it could easily accommodate several hundred people.

“Oh my, it would be really cool to have a celebration in a place like this!”

My mother was happy as she looked around the banquet hall.

Count Haxen looked at his wife with a happy face.

“By the way, Sae-ah, what happened to the Cook Love Band?”

“Yes, father. No need to worry. “We recruited the best talent.”

Olivia immediately answered Count Haxen’s question.

“These are people who are often called by the Count Copperhead family. “I have never heard a single harsh review until now.”

As the eldest daughter of the Copperhead family, Olivia participated in many family events. Thanks to her, her network in this area was quite wide.

“All preparations are going smoothly. “The celebration will end without any problems.”

Viscount Haxen looked greatly relieved. Then Damian said as if asking what he was talking about.

“Father, the most important thing still remains.”

“huh? “What is that?”

“We need to prepare a tailcoat for the celebration.”

Count Haxen laughed loudly at Damian’s words.

“Haha, you look down on this father too much. “As for his tailcoat, he has one, so you don’t have to worry.”

“Those worn-out clothes?”

Damian knew. He said that all the tailcoats his family has now are of no use.

On the day of the joust commemoration banquet, I found out about Abel’s old tailcoat.

I was surprised and asked what happened, and was told that I had borrowed my father’s old tailcoat.

Because of Damian’s foolish behavior, the family power was weakened, so there was no proper tailcoat.

“It’s worn out! Even so, these are the clothes that were popular when my father was young!”

“Aren’t you saying that it is not only outdated, but also out of fashion? “If you wear something like that, everyone looks at you funny.”

People were inevitably evaluated differently depending on their appearance.

This is especially severe among nobles.

Damian had no intention of putting his family in those old tailcoats.

“Mmm.”

But my father looked like he couldn’t understand it.

Damian sighed softly. If you think about it, his father has always been indifferent to clothing.

In this case, I had to persuade them in a different way.

“Don’t your mother and sister need new clothes too?”

Damian looked back at the two people. My mother and sister said with embarrassment.

“Honey, actually, I want to get fitted for a new tailcoat, too.”

“Father, so am I.”

With the two of them appearing like this, Count Haxen had no choice but to change his mind.

“Damian, I will do as you say… … “Even if I tried to fit clothes now, it would take several months.”

My father said with a worried face.

Then Olivia opened her mouth.

“Father, don’t worry about that. “I will search around and find a seamstress who can afford it.”

Then this time Damian shook his head.

“You can’t entrust the clothes you will wear to an important event like a celebration to someone like that.”

“But, sir, then there is no place to get clothes made.”

“Last time I looked, a place called Moonlight Waves had good skills.”

The whole family couldn’t help but be shocked by Damian’s words.

“Damian, you don’t seem to know what kind of place the Moonlight Waves are.”

“It’s the most famous dressing room in the West.”

“You have to wait a few years to have clothes made.”

Each family member said something. Nevertheless, Damian had a confident expression on his face.

“Everyone, there is no need to worry. “We have already prepared measures.”

“What do you mean by countermeasures?”

Everyone looked at Damian with puzzled faces.

Abel was the only one who understood what Damian meant.

“Brother, no way… … !”

Damian nodded and said.

“There is no business when it comes to money.”

* * *

Peter Lloyd, the owner of ‘Moonlight Waves’, a clothing store in Landwalk City, was enjoying a break with high-quality black tea.

“Hmm~ Hmm~.

Tea time to enjoy after a full lunch.

It was Peter Lloyd’s favorite time of the day.

Even if I could tolerate everything else, I couldn’t tolerate anything that would disturb my rest.

Peter Lloyd approached the window holding a cup of tea. Through the window, I could see a sky full of dark clouds.

“It looks like it’s going to rain tomorrow. “Should I take out my umbrella in advance?”

Peter Lloyd, who was observing dark clouds, suddenly remembered a memory from the past.

It wasn’t a very pleasant memory. It was a memory that was so unpleasant that it made me angry.

“It was like that that day too… … It was just this kind of weather… … .”

It had already been several months, but it still felt vivid.

That day too, Peter Lloyd was enjoying his break with tea.

Meanwhile, a strange man suddenly burst through the door.

-I heard you are good at making clothes?

He had a handsome face, but a bad attitude.

‘Moonlight Waves’ is the most famous clothing store in the western region.

It’s a place that’s not only famous, but also has three years’ worth of reservations backed up due to the influx of aristocrats who want to place orders.

But are you good at making clothes? It was the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard in my life.

-What’s going on?

Still, guests were guests. Peter Lloyd responded by suppressing his anger.

-I’m trying to find a tailcoat to wear to the banquet.

-There is a backlog of orders right now, so you need to make a reservation.

-How long does it take to make a reservation?

-There is a backlog of orders, so you will receive it at least 3 years later.

Peter Lloyd looked at the young man with a triumphant expression.

The ‘Moonlight Waves’ you ignored so much is such a great place… … .

-It’s taking too long. The banquet is coming up, so I need clothes right away.

The young man was lost in his thoughts. Peter Lloyd frowned without realizing it.

-Looking at it, there are a lot of clothes made.

-It’s not possible. All the clothes here have a designated owner.

Peter Lloyd said firmly.

I’ve received similar offers before, but I’ve always turned them down.

All clothes produced at Moonlight Waves were custom-made.

These are children whose owners have already been determined from birth. I couldn’t pass it on to someone else.

That’s Peter Lloyd’s belief… … .

The young man stretched out his hand. Gold coins poured out of a black hole that appeared in the air.

-You pay three times the money.

Peter Lloyd looked at the gold coins with his mouth wide open. My drool was swallowed by itself.

-Oh, no! Guests who have made reservations are waiting!

Peter Lloyd was able to keep his wits about him.

Then more gold coins fell from the hole. A large pile of gold coins confused Peter Lloyd’s eyes.

-Five times.

-What kind of clothes should I choose?

In the end, Peter Lloyd had no choice but to give in to the young man’s financial power.

“Because of that child, my beliefs that I have maintained for decades were broken… … .”

Thinking about it now, I couldn’t hold back my anger.

Thanks to this, I made a lot of money, but I was embarrassed when I thought about the effort that went into remaking the clothes the young man brought.

“I was crazy for a moment back then. From now on, no one will be able to break my beliefs.”

It was a time when Peter Lloyd looked at the dark clouds and made a firm resolution.

“Are you there?”

With a jingle, the door to the dressing room opened. Peter Lloyd smiled brightly and looked back at his guests.

“welcome. Elegant and beautiful like the moonlight. Peter Lloyd, CEO of Moonlight Waves… … .”

The moment he saw the guests coming in, Peter Lloyd’s eyes widened.

Peter Lloyd trembled, pointing at the customer with his index finger.

“Da-da, you… … !”

“It’s been a while since I last saw you.”

The young man I saw that day, Damian Haxen, was smiling.

“Why on earth are you here… … !”

“Is there any reason to come to the dressing room? “I came here to get dressed.”

Damian took a step to the side and four more people came in.

“Oh, this is Moonlight Wave.”

“Oh my, look at those clothes. “It’s so beautiful.”

The group, who appeared to be Damian Haxen’s family, dispersed here and there and began looking at the clothes.

As Peter Lloyd looked at them, an ominous feeling began to creep in.

“I’m planning to throw a celebration soon, so I’m trying to match my clothes.”

As expected, the ominous premonition came true.

“Woah, you can’t use our Moonlight Wave without a reservation!”

“Hey, it’s happening again. “Last time I looked, there were a lot of pre-made clothes.”

“That’s because the owners are all determined…” … .”

“If it’s money, pay enough.”

Damian Haxen created a hole in the air again. Gold coins rained down.

“Five times.”

It quickly went back to Peter Lloyd’s mind.

Since there were six people in total, if they sold five times as much, they would make a huge profit.

“… … “That’s not possible.”

But Peter Lloyd vowed never to give up his beliefs again.

That’s why I firmly refuse this time… … .

“Seven times.”

More gold coins poured out. Peter Lloyd burst out laughing as if it was ridiculous.

“We will do our best to serve you! “Please come this way.”

Peter Lloyd guided the family, thinking that this time it was invalid since they had been defeated by the same person.
