Chapter 377 – Count Dritna -3-

The platinum adventurer, whose face I have known since before our relationship as lovers, confirms this.

Angry Eclair has a trait that only he recognizes.

In a way, it’s natural.

It’s the same whether it’s an empire or a federal state.

Among the famous people on this continent, there is absolutely no one who is soft-hearted.

Eclair Dritna jumped into the battlefield from a young age.

He was a knight who made a name for himself by conquering barbarians, turning the white snow field red enough to sting the eyes.

She did not pull the Dritna family out of the deep sea by appealing to her affection.

Eclair’s journey of devoting a long time at the front and accumulating achievements is nothing more than a record of patience and hardship walking barefoot through a thorny path.

No one should attribute his current status to luck or coincidence.

In everyday life, she awkwardly displays cuteness and fawning in Roman’s arms to receive love.

It’s definitely a side of her that shows her kindness and warmth while taking care of her family in the capital.

There are hundreds of different appearances that a person can have depending on the person and situation.

Eclair’s current appearance, which is familiar to the knights of the Dritna territory, is probably a part of her.

Pak!

The paper left Eclair’s hand and became lodged in the wall of her mansion.

Judging by hearing alone, it is a violent yet cheerful sound, like hitting firewood with an axe.

The piece of paper that had lost its mana finally found its delicate essence and fluttered, limply.

“Keuuu…?”

When a solid red line was drawn over the guard knight’s neck and his eyes widened. No one other than Eclair could properly judge the situation.

His head, dripping with blood, fell to the floor at an angle.

The knight lost his balance and fell to the floor with his armor still on.

Demolition truck!

Isabel’s hands and pupils shook like crazy as she realized the reality of the blood pouring out.

Then she opens her mouth so much that her jaw drops and lets out a scream.

“Kyaahhhhh !!!”

As a loud scream rang through the mansion, the resident knights of Dritna quickly gathered.

Some people, including the employees, stuck their heads out here and there to observe the situation.

“Stop. Don’t come closer.”

After the crowd of knights stopped and closed their mouths at every word Eclair said.

I gathered rough information just by looking at it.

A count who is groaning and unable to do anything, five low-pressure knights whose minds are twisted, and the corpse of a familiar guard knight and its owner.

The knights held their breath and listened to the somehow imaginative picture.

“Lu, Luka…? Lies. Lies… Isn’t it?!”

“It’s ridiculous. I thought good things were good things in the territory and tolerated them, but did you think I would just laugh off this over-the-top behavior?”

Isabel Pedro, who had appeared cheerfully just a few minutes ago, was broken into pieces.

Eclair lifted her butt off her chair and no longer used her respect.

“Isabel Pedro. Answer me. What kind of life do you think I lived before I came to this place?”

Haha···!!”

A trace of her loss appeared on Isabelle’s face as she watched her guard’s severed head.

She twitched the corners of her mouth, trembled irregularly, and her voice broke.

“If you don’t answer even though I asked the question twice, I can’t just sit idly by. Dritna’s prestige has fallen to the point where he can be ignored by a woman from the top of Pedro.”

Ting-!

Eclair’s words as she pulled out her beloved sword from the floor were sincere.

5 The count and the knights here know that knights don’t make clumsy scares or jokes.

Eclair, holding his sword, pointed it at the woman who was sitting down without hesitation.

‘As expected, it’s a good thing I came alone.’

If possible, I didn’t want to show myself like this in front of Chloe anymore.

This is especially true because it is assumed that it will be taken for granted.

“Eclair, stop! This is the head of the house’s order!! Isabel, go back to your room!!”

“···.”

The count raised his voice and stormed in. Eclair sighed and stopped walking.

Looking over my shoulder, I made eye contact with Isabelle, who had stopped losing her mind and had her face contorted like a devil.

“I will curse you for the rest of my life…”

“Isabel-!! Can’t she hear me telling her to go back!!”

Feeling a pounding headache, the Count held his forehead with one hand and pulled Isabelle with the other.

Even as she was being dragged by Count Dritna’s hands, she did not stop struggling.

I feel like I’m about to shed blood-filled tears right now.

She glared at Eclair without even blinking her bloodshot eyes.

“Try to kill me like Luca… Kill me with that great power! If you don’t kill me today, you will die!!”

“Isabel! If you open your mouth one more time, you will be severely punished!”

Even as the Count shouted, he was embarrassed and glanced at Eclair’s reaction.

Even if you spit out a poison comparable to a curse and throw out your crazy voice, there are opponents who can communicate, and there are opponents who are not even close to it.

If you say something like that out of desperation, it is an eclair that will accept it as is and cut it down.

“I understand. If you want, I can do that.”

Count Dritna’s ominous prediction was correct.

Eclair, with a calm expression, nodded his head and twirled his sword once.

The Count, who was frightened to see Eclair approaching her with her strides, moving her feet from where she had been with her sword, hid Isabelle behind her and blocked her.

“Matriarch.”

“Eclair… Isn’t Isabelle acting like that because she has never experienced the outside world properly? Please understand that she is an uneducated child. I will tell her very harshly so that such misdeeds and rudeness will never occur again! “

“It’s already too late. Have you forgotten my specialty that the head of the family praised?”

“···!!!”

The Count’s eyes widened as he understood the meaning of the words.

Eclair’s specialty is that the criminal’s eyes cannot even detect the trace. A quick sword that does not even allow imitation.

The moment the Count swallowed his dry saliva and turned his head back.

Her lines were etched across Isabelle’s body, and the gaping slit was spitting out red liquid.

“Lu···ka···.”

At the moment when she was certain of her death, instead of looking at the head of the family with whom she had made a public relationship, she cast her eyes at the ceiling and pondered the name of the escort.

The count closed his eyes tightly as he saw a pile of flesh that had been severed all at once and was pouring out.

“Declaring that you will kill me means that you will discredit the leader of the Silver Wing Knights who protect the imperial family. This result was for the preservation of the Dritna family. Do you have any objections?”

“···Nothing. It was the right response.”

What I wanted to say was Taesan.

But I can’t spit it in Eclair’s face now.

“Pedru Sanjang’s daughter will not be lonely as she has embarked on an eternal journey with the person she truly loves.”

“···.”

“I don’t know if the head of the family was aware of the relationship between the two, or expected it. If even this was a decision for the future of the family that you mentioned earlier. I will not say any more than this.”

There was no answer from the count, who was trying to answer something.

Eclair, who turned his back, glanced at the knights who were still frozen in their seats at his words.

At least among the things seen at the estate today, this is a satisfactory picture.

Nodding her head, she sheathed the sword without a drop of blood on it and raised her voice.

“The knights of Dritna should burn these two bodies. They are the ones who tried to disgrace His Majesty’s knights.”

“””Yes!!”””

As soon as Eclair’s order was given, the knights who had been guarding the place came in like a cloud and quickly removed the body and disappeared.

Next, the workers brought a bunch of cleaning products and started to remove the blood.

A small fire starts at the back of the mansion for incineration.

As if nothing really happened.

Eclair sat down in his chair and opened his ledger again.

“There are more than one or two suspicious circumstances related to cash receipts and disbursements. After confirmation, the moment we find out, we will clear the matter all the way to the top of Pedro.”

I had clearly learned from Roman while living in the capital that such things should not leave a trace or a trace.

Eclair twirled his pen and quickly read the circulation of money.

“This father is worried. How can she be so cold and heartless? Even though Isabel is not related by blood, she is family and a member of her family.”

The head of the family is expressing her dissatisfaction in her own way.

Eclair smiled insincerely as something came to mind at those words.

“It’s the fact that I can’t see reality properly until I realize it after being dealt a harsh blow. I think it’s the history of my family, excluding Chloe.”

“···?”

“Up until now, I have only tolerated and observed the matriarch’s operations. This is my original nature and appearance.”

Tup.

Place the pen in the middle of the ledger you were looking at and close it.

Eclair spoke while looking directly into the eyes of her matriarch, who did not yet fully understand what she meant.

“I don’t mean to embarrass you, but to put it bluntly, the head of the family has less influence within Dritna than I do.”

“Know···.”

“And what is the result? The family is in complete disarray as they are unable to properly handle the power and enormous finances they have for the first time.”

“···.”

The Count slightly avoided his eyes as his energy was suppressed by the gaze he was facing.

“Father, as you said in the past, I will manage the Dritna family from now on.”

The title changed from head of the family to father.

Count Hyun was unable to protest and lowered his head.
