Chapter 168 – Only Successful People Attend Class Reunions (03)

His hairstyle and clothes were different, so he looked like a different person, but I could tell he was Hollyo just by looking at the features on his head and his unique frowning expression.

The Alphyrio family is from a low-class noble family, but has unusually formed a clan and is currently active as the head of the caravan troupe thanks to Hollio’s ability while other clans are collapsing.

And after a while, members of the Davin duchy arrived, and Gordon, his adjutant, and the previous pig noble were approaching.

“Your Highness the Duke. I will drop you off.”

“I will go in like this.”

“You must walk to the throne room on your own feet.”

At those words, a blunt sound rang out, and when Gordon bowed down, the child who was being carried behind him came down to the floor.

A young boy in his early teens with plump breasts.

“My legs hurt, Sir Gordon.”

“But rules are rules, so there’s nothing we can do about it.”

“Hmph. I have no choice. When this body becomes king, I will change these rules right away.”

Seeing the child saying something childish, both I and Richard were dumbfounded and burst into laughter.

‘Someone asked Duke Davin… Did he put forward a kid like that?’

They are probably claiming that Duke Davin is the crown prince’s illegitimate son or has a distant lineage.

In fact, when compared to Saili An, there was a slight resemblance to her, such as blonde hair or something like that, but it was still impossible to determine whether the resemblance was just because she was a stranger or if she was really related to Saili An as her uncle-nephew.

“Let’s go in.”

Gwaik-

As everyone gathers, swordsmen from the famous sword family open the door, go inside, and head to the table in front of the throne room.

It was a marble table and chair that had been scorched by fire but still maintained its appearance. Although burn marks remained, there was no problem with each person sitting down.

‘If you sit for a long time, your butt will hurt’

The famous prosecutors stand up as if guarding the table, the middle-aged prosecutor sent by Sir Andre as his representative sits at the head of the table, and then they each sit at the table in order.

Duke Davin sits at the head table next, then Hollyo, and finally I.

In this way, a meeting began where all the leaders of the royal faction in the area gathered together.

‘Then… What should I do from now on…’

While I was secretly watching Hollyo and Gordon, Hollyo glared at me with fierce eyes and said.

“First of all, I have a question.”

“Please speak.”

When the famous swordsman was allowed to speak, Holyo glared at me with such irritation that three wrinkles appeared on his forehead.

“Obviously, I received a letter in the name of [Shadow Family Head].”

The secretary showed Inori’s letter her her, which was neatly laid out next to her, and Inori’s handwriting her her, which was quite bad, was written crookedly.

‘For the sake of the dignity of the [Shadow Family], I have to have Inori catch me and teach me some handwriting practice.’

My dexterity is so good, but my handwriting is so and so.

“Why didn’t Sogaju come?”

Little Duke Davin asked me as if he had been waiting for Inori.

“This time, I came as a representative.”

First of all, Inori also came, but the representative of this group was me, not Inori, so my answer wasn’t a lie, but it wasn’t the truth either.

The moment Duke Davin heard those words, Duke Davin’s cheeks swelled, and before he could express any displeasure, Hollyo intervened first.

“Why has someone you’ve never seen before, and not the small head of the family, appeared? And is there any evidence that this person replaces [The small head of the shadow family]?”

Now that I was used to it, I lowered my hand and Inori took out a scroll from the shadows, and I slightly unfolded the scroll and placed it on the table.

“I’m not saying that. I’m just calling the heads of each faction and asking why they sent a representative even though I am the representative of the head of the family.”

Oh, it’s more correct than I thought.

Certainly, it would be best to ask Yujiro’s father and send a letter as the [Head of the shadow family], And if that doesn’t work out, then only then should Inori appear as a substitute.

But now, I have appeared here as Yujiro’s father’s representative, Inori Sogaju, so I can’t do anything if I get angry with others, at least the Davin family and the Alphyrio family of Holio.

Actually, the story is different here.

“I have a higher command priority than Rita, the head of the small family. So, in effect, I am the head of the small family, and the small family only delivered the letter.”

The others start glaring at me with shocked expressions.

Actually, that’s right. Even during the Shadow Family defense battle, I gave orders and everyone followed them, the head of the family and the hostess gave permission, and Inori and Rito also followed my orders without a word.

Because I was the lord of Inori, the lord of Soga.

“I heard that the [Shadow Clan] Are closed-minded and have black hair like jet-black silk and black eyes that do not reflect any light that enters them.”

Hollio said as if he was shocked, but I had nothing to be afraid of because I was recognized as a member of the [Shadow Clan] By proving [Shadow Ninjutsu].

‘If I summon Inori right away, I won’t have to worry about this…’

First of all, Inori decided to hide in the shadows as the ‘Joker to use in case someone tries to take my life’, so I had to just ignore it until now.

And if Inori appears, it will be difficult for me to lead the meeting if others only talk through Inori.

“It may have already spread as a rumor, but I was the one who blocked the attack of hundreds of communist soldiers without harm.”

Reputation 50 is very low, but in a time like now where every piece of information is important, the fact that my reputation has increased means that other powers have also received information about me.

If the [Shadow Family] Had actually stopped the soldiers of the duke faction using the [Shadow Ninjutsu], They would not have cared much, but if an outsider came and said that the ‘defensive battle’ was successful, wouldn’t they at least come out of curiosity?

“I will mediate. First of all, the [Shadow Family] Has officially transferred authority to him, and this is a letter of guarantee in the name of the Dnevarin Family that he is the representative of the [Shadow Family].”

When he came out like this, Hollyo just looked dissatisfied and couldn’t argue further.

“The last time I saw the head of the Shadow family, she was mysterious and beautiful…”

The adjutant next to him noticed the grumbling Duke of Davin, but he did not stop looking at me, the Duke of Davin, with resentment.

Okay. It would be nice if my pretty older sister came too.

“Then, let us begin the meeting in earnest. Tell us the reason for convening us. Representative of the Shadow Family.”

When the famous swordsman got to the point, I closed my mouth and remained silent for a moment.

Duke Davin wasn’t interested anyway, and the swordsmen of the High House were very patient, until Hollyo, who was already very irritated, took off his glasses and hit the table made of his scorched marble.

“Are you planning on wasting time now?”

Why has my child’s personality become so dirty?

In the past, when Cylian had an accident in the men’s dormitory and Kay broke something, she was the one running around saying she would fix it.

“For now, calm down and listen. It’s not anything special. This time, we’re talking about reorganizing the [Shadow Family], Restoring the solidarity that was lost, and then uniting as one to block the offensive of the duke faction. “

Now, they were fighting separately from the operative faction to keep each other in check and keep an eye on each other, so they couldn’t fight back organically.

Originally, in the first route, the Sailians were the central point, and even if they gathered the royalists, all they could do was barely defend themselves, but since there are no Sillians, should we say that there is a blind spot in this respect ?

So, this time, I gathered the forces that my friends belong to, and the Duke of Davin explained a little through Gordon, and the Master of the Sword, since Marian is away, established cooperation through Sir Andre. First of all, I thought we could block the Duke faction’s major offensive.

So now we are at the stage of proposing to create an alliance and gather forces…

“Speak quickly!”

“I was organizing my thoughts in my head for a moment.”

The story doesn’t progress.

Holyo was hitting the desk in a state of extreme excitement, and the Duke of Davin was so frightened by the sound that he ran away into Gordon’s arms his.

The swordsmen of the famous family were also showing displeased expressions, and Richard, who followed me under the pretext of escorting me, was also nervous with an expression that made him think, “This isn’t right.”

“Relieve your anger. Why are you so excited…”

“Call me Alfirio Sangsanju! You’re calling someone else’s name carelessly just because you’ve seen them before!”

“I saw it a lot. To be specific, I saw it in a little less than a year?”

The next thing I saw after Ophelia was Hollyo and Seri who were celebrating Marianne’s birthday. In fact, I saw it even before class F was introduced.

“And you were the one who told me to call you Hollyo…”

However, the strange thing is that Hollyo is not the type of person to scream like this no matter how dirty his personality gets, but it is not easy to find reason here.

‘What’s wrong with this guy?’

“Damn, from that face…”

“What? What are you talking about? Holly…”

Hollyo was so embarrassed that the moment I called his name her, he was covering his her ears her her her.

Is it because of the ‘voice’?

Since I had to calm him down first, I continued talking without provoking Hollyo as much as possible.

The reason why the royal faction must gather, and with the current status of the front line that has been pushed back, the [Shadow Family] Will also actively help from now on.

However, the reaction of others was very lukewarm.

“So, is Sogaju transferring to the Davin duchy?”

“No.”

“Tch. Then we’re not interested.”

Duke Davin showed interest only in Inori and left everything to his lieutenants, but the lieutenants and the pig nobles were also reluctant to appear as if they were cooperating in a vague way rather than coming under their control his.

The swordsmen of the famous family were silent, and only Hollyo was glaring at me with an unpleasant expression.

“We, the Dnevarin family, cannot actively cooperate, but we will not stop prosecutors who want to cooperate with you. When Lady Marian returns, we will send you a message.”

Hollyoak was still silent.

‘Well… Is this normal with a reputation of 50?’

Now that the position was established, it was time to personally work hard to gather allies.

The Davin family could go at any time, so I passed on it, but the famous sword family didn’t seem to have any intention of actively stepping forward until Marian returned.

First of all, the location was the furthest away and as I approached to bring in the top of Hollio, who had remained silent, the mercenaries were the first to block my path.

“I’d like to talk. Alphyrio Sangsanju.”

“Say it there.”

Since you are the representative of the [Shadow Family], There is a risk of assassination, so you are going to speak behind the guard.

In these matters, it is basic to talk to him face to face, so although Hollyo’s behavior his was not polite, he accepted it as being cautious and continued his speech.

“If it is beneficial, the Alphyrio leader guarantees cooperation. But what can the [Shadow Family] Do?”

“Provision of information and cooperation.”

“No, first of all… I want to see Sogaju… Rita… What were you thinking by sending something like that here…”

There was anger coming out of Hollyo’s voice, as if he was forcing himself to swallow it.

“As expected, the Shadow family members are cold-hearted. She seems to have already forgotten everything. She can have someone who looks like her by her side…”

“Holio?”

“Don’t call me by that name! No one, not you, has allowed me to call you that voice!”

This reaction was so familiar.

When I sacrificed my friend in the first round, the hysterical reaction of my friends who left me.

This was the reaction he had when a friend he cherished died.
