Chapter 338 – If a Person Who Is Not Angry Gets Angry, Run Away -3-

– If you can gain strength, power, fame, and wealth, how far can you let go of a man named Geritz Electra?

The moment that question was asked to Enoch Skadi.

Sensing that this was his chance, Gerritz came up with the best answer after careful consideration.

“If only I could make a new start on a path that was not allowed… I would ruthlessly throw away everything.”

It is proof that his courage and desire have surpassed that of a baronial family in the frontier.

It was proof of the ambition I had.

“Everything? How many times do you think you’ve seen people here making promises they couldn’t keep and making statements they couldn’t take responsibility for in order to gain immediate profits?”

“I…! I pride myself on being different from them!”

“Baron Electra. What you said just now is exactly the same answer as any other woman. It’s not funny.”

“···.”

The more Enoch’s eyes lose interest.

It seemed like the opportunity to leap forward was slowly evaporating right under my nose.

Geritz became impatient, as if a spark had landed on her feet.

“Those who receive my trust have something in common. They all have cool-headed values ​​that are not swayed by family or friends.”

“I will show my earnestness through action…!”

The Marquis’ question, “How?”

Geritz Electra, who had been reading Enoch’s tendencies and mood all along, took a gamble.

“···From today, I will become a baron.”

“Oh, I don’t know if the Baron knows me well because he picked it up somewhere, or if he’s quick enough to read my thoughts even though it’s only my first time meeting him.”

“It’s simply based on my values ​​and wishes.”

“Then it is even more wonderful.”

Because even if he said a hundred words to the Marquis of Skadi, he could not build trust.

When he set out to prove it with his immoral behavior, the Marquis nodded, saying that Gerritz’s spirit was manly.

“I will give you a useful article. Shouldn’t there be no noise or interruption in the succession?”

“It is an honour···!”

“Congratulations in advance, Baroness Electra.”

The word ‘baron’ now felt real.

My blood boiled at the thought that a move that was no different from gambling had worked completely.

“If you come back after finishing your work neatly, let’s have a more in-depth conversation. After that, I’ll bring in some trustworthy gasols as well.”

“Yes···!”

From the point of mentioning the new Gasol.

I was told to clean up thoroughly and not leave anyone behind.

“And – shouldn’t I be empty-handed on this auspicious day?”

A strange drug that temporarily boosts mana when you need to show authority worthy of a baron, and even a knight of outstanding skill.

It was the first time I felt a strong sense of support in Gerritz Electra’s life.

I bowed to the point that my back broke before leaving the room.

The Marquis’ last words pierced my ears.

– Soon the empire will face a period of upheaval. Let someone as capable as the Baron find his place.

‘There’s still something I don’t know!’

A dangerous statement that is tantamount to treason.

The empathy that went through my head and the realization that I had gained enough trust to hear such deep thoughts in an instant.

My heart was pounding and the corners of my mouth went up.

Who would nod if the baron was talking outside?

Geritz was moved by the fact that he heard those words directly from his marquis and left the territory with his head hung.

‘They say life is about not knowing what’s ahead… But real life begins now!’

If he had successfully captured Seria from the capital and returned.

Geritz Electra heard about Nema Natas from the Marquis.

He may have shown a feat of at least getting sidetracked by a group that was targeting the backbone of the empire.

If it was successful.

*****

– All right, next report!

Head of the Intelligence Guild.

Burnecker’s limbs glided in front of Roman’s mansion, moving back and forth busily without even having time to catch their breath.

– As of the current time, Geritz Electra is moving out of the mansion.

I heard information that Gerritz Electra accompanied by a knight came from the Marquis of Skadi.

Roman and the Information Guild, who had some idea of ​​the internal situation, thought that the two would naturally head to the capital.

Lilyne also had the same thoughts as Roman.

‘If you come to the capital, are you going to target Seriana and Liline? Or Rikke directly?’

After all, everything Roman has to protect is in the capital.

It’s none of my business who Geritz Electra meets, who pushes her ass or licks her shoes.

Even if I met Nema Natas’s head, I would have an opportunity to clean things up, so it was really none of my business.

Amazing here.

His actions were unexpected.

Geritz headed to an unexpected destination accompanied by a driver and confused everyone who was watching.

‘Is this guy really crazy?’

This escapade of going to a mansion and committing a massacre is something that goes beyond the information guild that was trying to figure out the destination in real time.

It was an event that Roman and Liline did not expect.

··
··

“With no father to grant permission and no eldest son to inherit, who would object to me becoming a Baron?”

“Uh, how…”

Three words of affirmation that I managed to spit out with a trembling jaw.

Lily’s eyes narrowed.

“···It’s not worth listening to anymore.”

Perfect!

The staff hit the floor once again.

Whiuuu-

A light wind, similar to a breeze, was blowing, not a strong wind.

Fish sit!

“Ugh!!”

As the wind blew, red lines were carved all over Geritz’s neck and body, and blood flowed out.

Roman covered Ceria’s eyes as she shook her shoulder.

The shattered body falls apart with a crashing sound.

Blood from the cut surface soaked the floor.

“···.”

Lilyne threw away her outer robe one last time to cover her body.

It wasn’t a courtesy, I just didn’t want Seria to see this.

“Alice. Could you please tell the waiting group that I have some cleaning to do?”

“Yes!”

Alice, with her horns and scales hidden and restored to their original state, disappears within a month.

Lily turned her body and approached Roman.

“···Mr. Roman.”

“Huh.”

Liline, pursing her lips, saw Ceria in Roman’s arms and completed her decision.

It was already too late for her to turn back.

“Well, it’s strange to say this when I said I would do it, but I’m anxious about being alone…”

“Of course I have to help you until the end.”

Lily had decided that she would succeed to the barony, but it was natural that she was nervous.

When I return to the estate, I can easily imagine what the mansion is like and I am at a loss as to how and where to explain the situation.

Sitting on a title is a completely separate area from adventurer requests, so this is something that Lilyne is also ignorant about.

Roman was equally ignorant, but the scope of power that Platinum could exercise in the empire was different.

“I didn’t want to cause you any inconvenience. I’m sorry.”

“If I apologize one more time, they won’t help me?”

“···.”

“Just feel free to tell me if you need anything. Keep in mind that if you mix it with aegyo, things will get done faster.”

After hearing Roman’s words, Seria’s blank gaze turned to Liline.

Lily slapped Roman on the shoulder and blushed.

‘I’ll come out and watch as much as I can… If I get stuck, there’s eclairs, so it’ll be quick.’

It’s not like there’s no relationship with people in the empire who say they’re using their strength.

If you are too busy to make eclairs, there are endless other ways to make them.

“And don’t even think about settling down in Electra territory. You’ll just have to keep living with me, right?”

“···Ah, I know!”

After being bombarded with reckless affection in Ceria’s presence, Lily Ne forgot her anger and was unable to come to her senses.

“What was it? I heard that the empire will send a civil servant to run the territory on their behalf. If you go and tell them, something will work out.”

“But I heard that the conditions are strict.”

Ceria couldn’t keep up with the pace of Lily Newa Roman, who seemed to have already forgotten her case and was already talking about her solution.

There was a pause in conversation for a moment.

The girl opened her mouth.

“Hey…Adventurer?”

“Hmm?”

Roman was cut off from his thoughts by Ceria’s cooing voice and lowered her head.

“You can drop me off now…”

“Ah! That’s right.”

Let Roman lower you to the floor with an apology.

Lily gently embraced Ceria, who was slowly approaching her, in her arms.

“···Mr. Roman.”

“Huh?”

“Yeongji and I will talk later and decide. Can I go back with Seria now?”

“Of course. I’ll take care of things here with Alice, so stay at the mansion.”

Lily held tightly onto Ceria’s hand, who had yet to fully grasp her situation.

She walked slowly.

··
··

Ceria’s way back to her mansion, contrary to her initial intentions.

Lily put away her laughter and calmed down.

Geritz informed her of what had happened before coming to the capital, and Ceria, who was briefly informed of what happened at the hands of her eldest son, opened her mouth in a daze.

“···.”

Before the incident occurred, she didn’t even have time to think about what she thought was a difficult time.

As always, disaster came without warning.

Man’s persistent malice had no way of judging that darkness.

“Her older sister will hold the family funeral at the same time, so it’s okay if Ceria doesn’t come.”

“···I want to go with you. I will definitely go.”

The hand she held against Lily’s gained strength.

Ceria’s feelings were so confused that there were no words to express them.

If you ask a girl if she loved her parents, she will tell you that she actually resented them.

Still, her parents had the heart to be her parents, and there were moments when they felt happy.

The moment you realize it.

I burst out with emotion and tears flowed down my cheeks.

“Black…!”

Lily gave her handkerchief to Ceria, who was helplessly crying and her snot was running down her sister’s back with her hand.

“It’s okay. Her older sister will protect Ceria.”

“Ugh! After graduating from the academy, if I succeed, I’ll be impressed by my father and mother! I wanted to be recognized…”

They were people who would not accept me in the end no matter what I did.

Lily knew the reality calmly, but she didn’t bother to turn her stomach and kept her mouth shut.

All I could do was hug Seria as she cried so much that she couldn’t even speak properly.

“Ceria was not born to prove something of her own and to repay her parents for giving her birth. It is enough for her to live as she wants.”

After hearing Lily’s words, Ceria cried sadly for a long time and walked down her path, attracting attention from all around her.

“···Sister.”

“Yes. Sister is here.”

It wasn’t until she got closer to her mansion that Ceria found her breath and raised her head with her swollen eyes.

Ceria, who was sniffling her snot, looked into Lily’s eyes and asked.

“Have you had a hard time because of me?”

“Not at all. Her sister was happy to have Ceria and she is happy now.”

After hearing her answer, Seria’s face had a strangely pouty and indecipherable expression.

Lilyne stopped in the alley of her mansion.

“I have something to tell Ceria.”

“Huh?”

Erase your stiff expression.

Lily, who regained her usual smile, grabbed Ceria’s cheek and kneaded it, drawing out her future.

“Sister… I’ll stop being an adventurer in a little while.”
