Day 2 since Baran visited the secret mansion.
“Ugh... This place...? ”
“You're awake now. It's been a long time, Baran. ”
Finally, he opened his tightly closed eyes, grabbed his dizzy head and got up on his feet.
The man who got up from his seat shakes his head a few times and looks surprised at my face.
“Ka, Kaiyan? Why are you here...? ”
“That's...”
“Young Master! Are you awake?" That foil!! ”
As I tried to talk to the man who couldn't figure out the situation, the foil standing behind me ran into tears.
“Sir Hoyle? Now, wait a minute! ”
Baran hurriedly pushes Foil out of his hands, fearful of the bitter-looking, older adult's tears running down his face.
“I'm glad you're up! (* Sobbing *) I should have protected you! ”
“Protect? Ah... I was attacked by assassins. ”
“Apologies! I will give my life whenever you want me to! ”
“That's it. That's how you stay alive. Arms and legs are fine. What the hell is Kaiyan doing here? ”
“That's... ”
You push forward the foil, wondering how to explain it.
“I'll tell you what. ”
“Kaiyan.”
It's been a long time since I've seen Baran face to face like this. I smiled in my mouth without knowing how happy I was.
“Varane, take a good look around. Where do you think this place is? ”
“What... of course... Hmm? This isn't the Cartier Mansion. But I don't think it's the Temple...”
“Yes, this is not the Temple of the New Testament or the Carsia Mansion. I don't know the exact location, so don't ask. Just think of it as a secret house. ”
“A secret mansion... What were you doing in a strange place again? ”
You may be wondering why you opened your eyes here, but you raised your mouth like you didn't care.
“Varane, things have changed a lot over the years. Now I have to say I'm the heir to the Marquis of Wealth. So, how you feeling? ”
“I'm fine. I feel healthier than before I fell. ”
“Of course. I used a few potions to wake you up. ”
“I'm sorry about this. So it was you who healed me, Kaiyan? But where are the priests...”
I remember falling unconscious in an assassin attack, but I didn't realize I was lying there poisoned.
It doesn't make sense to be stunned and know that.
“The priests worked hard to heal you. Assassins used poison. Pretty nasty poison. ”
“Poison, maybe for assassins. ”
“That's why I brought you here. By communicating secretly to the late Carsia. I had a way to crack your poison. ”
[That was me! Me!]
I sat on one side of the bed, holding Rieka tightly again, trying to get out of my arms with a flash of my hand.
“My father? Hmm... With you and your face, is that even possible? No matter how much I think about it, I don't think my father would take it so lightly. ”
“Oh! But I know you're family. That's why the Count of Carsia vouched for me to bring you in. ”
“Huh... If you want me to trust my father, did you bring any royalty? It can't be... ”
“Yes, thanks to your help, I had the help of a certain royal family. ”
The joker opens his mouth wide with surprised eyes.
It's been a long time since I've seen his stupid face. A smile burst out of his face without me knowing.
“Who...? ”
“Isabelle, merchant of the Lucuba Merchant Guild and Princess of Manislan. It's like she vouched for me. ”
As long as you have any knowledge of the Garonne family, the erl of Carsia will know about it. That's why he told me to bring his son to me quietly.
“... This is amazing. I wonder if Lord Hoyle would look on my face right now. ”
I turned my head to Baran and looked behind me, and his face turned really funny, just like he said.
With two eyes as big as a tear and a fist as wide as his mouth.
“Well, I can't explain this in any way, so just think of it that way. If you're better than that, let's come up with a plan. ”
“What plan? ”
“A plan to kick the Countess' ass. Baran, you may have noticed, whose mastermind the assassins were moving with. ”
“But that's just doubt, not certainty. And I'm sure my father is already working on that. ”
I punched Baran in the back of the head, which was quite stuffy.
Phew!
“Grrrgh!"
“Master, Master! Kaiyan, what are you...! ”
Baran looks at you, frowning as if to see what you're doing. The foil rushes up and grabs my collar.
“No, I said something stupid, so I don't know why. ”
“Stupid talk... Lord Hoyle, I'm fine, so step back. Come on."
At his command, Foil took three steps back, releasing the hand that grabbed his collar while biting his lip. If I hit Varane again, I'll keep my eyes wide open as if I were always running.
“Kaiyan, why does that sound so stupid? ”
“You mean you already know who the culprit is and you don't have any evidence. ”
“…. Nobles have laws to keep. So just wait until Father finds the evidence...”
“Since when do you say that you have kept the law so well? So the Countess tried to kill you through assassins, but she kept the law? ”
“That's...”
Law is something that can be used when the opponent moves within the law.
The moment the opponent has already broken the rules, justice is lost in both fights, and the only thing left to do is to use whatever method to win.
“I don't understand. You're not that stupid. Are you... Are you doing this for Lian? You think Lian's gonna be sad? ”
“ …. ”
“Looks like it's real. ”
I wondered why Baran thought such a foolish thought, and his face hardened.
“That doesn't mean we can't leave the Countess alone. As you said, there will be no escaping the punishment until the Count of Carsia is found. ”
“I know that much. But I don't want her to be sad. ”
“It's nice to think of your brother, but why would he sacrifice you like that? ”
“Kaiyan, Lyann has already lost Jansen and is deeply saddened. But to grieve again...”
After a few years, I thought I had matured quite a bit, but my mind remained the same.
If I was born in a noble family, I'd rather be greedy and think only of myself like the other nobles. I'm so weak.
‘Well, I'll tell you what. ’
Linda of the Marcaine family, who had nothing to do with the thought of her brother, and Mayand of the Lecco family.
Perhaps the reason Baran and I are close is because we have similar personalities.
‘But... I can't go through with it this time. ’
If the Marquis's family had nothing to do with Astia, it would be a way to postpone the punishment as far back as Baran wants, but not now.
“Baran, you know the official inauguration ceremony will take place in Ménislan, right? ”
“I know. Hmm... How many days has it been since I fell? We have to get to the castle before it's too late. ”
“The formal appointment is tomorrow. That means one more day. And if you hadn't woken up today, Lian would have been there instead. ”
“Lean? Then that's his idea. ”
“Yeah, that's probably what the Countess was after, too. To keep you from participating in the inauguration ceremony if you don't die. ”
“Appointment ceremony... ”
Baran bites his lips, his eyes closed for a moment.
“I see. Even if I could find evidence of diarrhea, it would be difficult to punish the Countess." But my father would know that much. ”
“That's it, you know. I just don't know what's behind the late lady's family. ”
“What are you talking about? ”
“I can't tell you that. What matters now is that if you keep hanging around like that, it's gonna be Leanne. ”
If you don't know about Astia, you have no reason to explain or tell her. That would be good for the Karsias and good for Baran.
However, we need to speak firmly to the man who does not know the seriousness of the situation. At this rate, things will go according to the viceroy's plan.
“Varane, listen to me now. If you really think about Leanne, she'll tell you how to behave. ”
* * *
The day of the official inauguration of the heir.
Fancy wagons lined up at the entrance to the castle to attend the inauguration ceremony in Ménislan.
“Welcome to the Roseblon family! Let's go inside!”
They were sent inside, one by one by the colorful, complex guards, and the carriage with the Karsian symbol stopped at the entrance.
The manager, who confirmed his appearance, is furious and calls his supervisor to rest in the back.
“Ah! Baron Gulon! The Karsias!”
“Carsia? Oh! I'll do it myself! ”
Baron Gulon, who was in charge of the entrance of the castle, stood up and approached the wagon. He carefully knocked on the wagon door, and the window opened and the little girl pushed out her face.
“Oh! Hello! I am Baron Gulon, who will be in charge of the entrance to the castle today. ”
“Baron Gulon? I'm sorry, but you don't remember the family. ”
It is an obvious disregard in noble societies to say that they do not know even after revealing their families.
However, Gulan grinned and grinned, rubbing his hands and bowing his head deeply.
“It's all my fault! I should have greeted Lian beforehand... Haha! May Lean forgive me for my mistake with mercy. ”
“Baron Gulon, please let me in when you're done. I'd like to go inside and meet my father. ”
“Yes, sir! What are you doing?" Without taking Lian's wagon! ”
It really shows that this is the power of power.
Gulan smiles and frowns as he watches the wagon ride through the entrance to the castle.
“A child already acting arrogantly... Tsk, tsk. If I'd known this was gonna happen, I should have lined up on the spot. ”
“Baron Gulon! This is the Avino.What do you want to do? ”
“What are you gonna do! If you're an Abyno, you're a local baron, and you want me to step in? ”
“Oh, no. ”
Baron turns his head again in the direction of Lean's disappearance as he sees a lesser manager running to meet the Avino wagon.
“How can I like that young man... If I can see the successor of Karsia, it won't be too hard..." Hmm. "
Gulan's interest in Lean, who doesn't even remember her family, is because she participated in the inauguration ceremony instead of Baran.
That means there's a good chance that Lian will be the lord of the Karsia family by witnessing Baran.
“Perhaps I should ask Earl Jeriel to arrange a seat for me. How many bribes do I have to bribe the Earl? ”
And that was such good news as the rain of drought for the nobles who had no connection to the Karsians.
Unlike Baran, who is already filled with nobles, Lian suddenly became his successor and had no connection with the other nobles.
In other words, even the lesser nobles, or the more influential nobles, were targeting her in order to benefit from Lean.
Day 2 since Baran visited the secret mansion.
“Ugh... This place...? ”
“You're awake now. It's been a long time, Baran. ”
