Chapter 102 – Plancia (1)

The news that the hero Wolf had beaten the head of the Arend family to death spread quickly.

Aristocrats searched for a way to live in various directions, just like animals looking for nests to avoid storms.

For the fact that he mercilessly killed an old man who came to the gate to ask for forgiveness, there were people who dismissed the hero as uneducated. Some argued that they would be next, and that they should strike first before that happens.

There were nobles who tried to return to their hometown, saying that they could not die in vain in a political battle, and there were others who were relieved thinking that they would not be involved.

“We should rather get closer to the Hero family through marriage. Aren’t you a person who takes care of your own family terribly? No matter how much a beast is, it’s not just an in-law, and you can’t kill a double-in-law. We will survive this chaos as the strongest supporters and companions of the brave.”

The Plancias were ambitious to take this opportunity to establish a closer relationship with the Hero family and occupy the center of the aristocratic society. The head of House Plancia stroked his own long moustache and spoke strongly of his own opinion.

Most nobles nodded their heads as if agreeing with his words, and some applauded in admiration for his brilliant vision. A man sitting with a crooked posture in the middle of the high-spirited people asked the family head.

“By the way, who and who are having an arranged marriage? Isn’t it ridiculous to call a hero’s family a family? Who wants to get married to guys who are all street bullies? Yes? The girl I married last time has also become a vulgar woman.”

The patriarch frowned. As he said, few people from the Florentines wanted to marry into the Hero family. If the little family that the child who had been given out hadn’t been a relative of the hero.

So, if the Hero family and the Plancia family hadn’t made in-laws, this arranged marriage would not have even been considered.

A woman with a wide fan and a large wig said in a low voice.

“Why. He’s there Plancia Isabel.”

The family head frowned at her words. Plancia Isabel because she really was a woman with nothing. Her ex-husband was a demon, her current husband was a slave, and all she had was a run-down house. How could she be blamed for making such a woman the object of an arranged marriage?

The family head reprimanded the woman for her careless remarks.

“Does Plancia Isabel have anything? At least she doesn’t know if she’s that daughter, Alice.”

The man wearing glasses refuted the head of the house.

“Isn’t it too much of a waste of our investment to keep Plancia Alice tied to the house by her arranged marriage? She’s a kid who could be influential enough in the legal profession, if we give her a push. It would be more beneficial for her to connect with a good legal family than to give it to those bullies.”

The woman holding her fan raised the corner of her mouth mockingly and said.

“There is a story that Isabel Plancia of Nothing has recently taken all of her vineyards in her neighborhood into her own. Now she is not a child with nothing, but the owner of a vineyard of her own accord.”

“Is that child?”

Gajoo twisted his face. He said that Plancia Isabel remembered her childhood well. She had a beautiful appearance, but her personality was timid, so she was a child who didn’t know how to do anything right. But how does she roast and boil her local nobles and rule her plantation?

The householder shook his head and said.

“I don’t understand.”

The woman folded her fan and said.

“What does it matter whether the child has the ability or not? With that kind of wealth, even the Hero family wouldn’t turn it down. Handing over the ownership of the local vineyard and a pretty widow.”

“But aren’t you married? What are you going to do with her husband?”

“We have to divorce again.”

“She’s a twice-divorced woman, so the Hero family would love it.”

As the housekeeper sneered, the woman nodded her head with her shameless face and said:

“Isabel. What a pretty child she is If the person you’re going to marry just looks at Isabel’s looks, she’s been divorced 2 times and she’s been divorced 4 times, wouldn’t it matter? Besides, vineyards are rolling in? You know the wine there is really good.”

“How are you going to get a divorce? Wouldn’t she listen if I just asked for a divorce? She has her own funding line, so she can’t even threaten to end her support for Alice. Besides, since Carlson’s death, we haven’t supported Isabel in anything.”

“It is enough to create a cause for divorce. Isn’t her husband her hillbilly and former slave? Hmm, you can catch it somehow. Invite them to come up to the capital.”

“After the invitation?”

The woman clapped her hands. As soon as I heard the clap, a woman appeared from behind the curtain, covering her face with a hood.

“He is a child who works under me. Isn’t it pretty?”

“So, are you going to assassinate this child?”

“If you kill me, there will be gossip. This child will seduce the husband of Plancia Isabel. After dragging her husband into the bed, she swears and then screams at her. She said that Isabel’s husband raped her, and that she came so suddenly and forcefully that she couldn’t resist.”

Gaju snorted. Her masked woman just nodded her head, expressionless, even as she listened to the plan of the operation, which treated her as a tool. Said the woman.

“Raping a servant in the Plancia Mansion, what is this… It’s not a divorce issue, it’s an issue where even beating isn’t enough, right? It is an issue that can be dealt with seriously within the family. If you really love him, you can trade with that man’s life, and if love has cooled down because of this, just hold him in this mansion and push for an arranged marriage right away.”

It was a pretty plausible plan.

The family call was an issue that Plancia Isabel could not ignore. And the trap set by the woman was a powerful trap that Plancia Isabel’s husband could never avoid. Whether men refused or not, the initiative was theirs.

“That’s a good plan.”

“Such a low-level man is not suitable for the Florentine family, so we divorce him and put in a man from the Hero family. Well, I’m going to stick with the same low-level people anyway, so I won’t have any complaints, right?”

Gaju said with a satisfied face.

“Good. Then, write an invitation right now. Be sure to tell Plancia Isabel to come with her husband. Divorce her husband, then force her to marry.”

The woman smiled pleasantly and swung her fan, and Kaju stroked her beard and turned her body.

******

The wheels of the wagon stopped. The bright sun was beating down towards the house that had been returned for a long time. I had a child on my back, and Rumia stood next to me and greeted the priest. The priest took one look at the boy I was carrying on his back and asked,

“Are you adopted?”

I was annoyed and passed the entrance without answering. Rumia roughly explained the situation to the priest on my behalf. The story of being tortured by priest Andre changed to the story of being tortured by bandits, and the name Amaranth Education Center was changed to being alive by bandits.

Upon hearing the situation, the priest clicked his tongue with a sad expression and turned around to focus on his work again. Rumia spoke to me in a low voice.

“Will you go to the mansion first? I will report and go up.”

“Oh, yes. Suffer.”

I patted her on the shoulder and walked towards her mansion. Exhausted from long torture and bullying, the boy could hardly walk and spoke remarkably. I kept talking to the boy.

“No one bothers you anymore, no one is telling you to steal.”

“Really?”

“Okay. Really.”

The mansion was nearby. I quietly opened the rusty door and walked toward the gate. Because they didn’t promise when they would come, if you open this door, you’ll be able to face your daily life.

I took a deep breath. I felt the boy squeeze the hem of my dress.

“Do I have to live here?”

“No.”

There was a hint of reluctance in the boy’s voice. It must be because the gloomy outer walls and gloomy iron gates seemed to imply a harsher life than the Amaranth education zone. But I had no intention of letting this boy live in my house.

If I brought in useless outsiders, Sophia and I’s radius of action decreased. Because I was young, I had to hide the fact that I was a demon.

I didn’t even want to be brainwashed.

What brought this child here? I just wanted to feed them simple food and change their clothes before sending them to the farm.

“Because the farm is much cleaner and there are many good people. Don’t worry.”

I said that and opened the door.

“Uh? Master!”

Sophia, who was carrying the laundry, looked at me with a bright smile. Elena, who was in the kitchen, stuck her head out and looked at me.

“What? Evan! Are you back now? Are you not hurt anywhere?”

Then, I heard the sound of running on the second floor, and Isabel appeared holding on to the handrail of the stairs.

“Evan!”

And the three women looked at the boy behind my back at the same time, and she suddenly looked at me with a frown on her face.

“What? Why. What. Why.”

Sophia said with an interested expression.

“Master. Did you have a taste like that?”

Elena shook her head and said.

“Evan. He’s kinda… Aren’t you young? Too? Besides, he’s a man.”

Isabelle said cautiously, wiggling her fingers.

“Eh, Evan… That… Oh no…”

A boy trembled with fear behind my back.

“No fuck.”
