Chapter 102 – Dragon Creek (7)

Things were moving at a speed I couldn’t handle. Since the situation in the north itself is a situation, there is no time to be sad. The shocked knights recovered Noivan’s body with a pale face, and immediately went into the handover process.

The knights were trying hard not to reveal their sadness to me, an outsider, even though they showed sorrowful expressions. And after Noivan died, I faced another noble in this castle.

There were still nobility in the north. Rubicon Condrix’s wife, Rubicon Emilia, was that aristocrat. Upon hearing the explanation from the knight, Emilia of Rubicon should have been in charge of her domain her as usual, but she herself vehemently refused, saying that her ability her was not enough, and No Ivan took over as proxy.

Emilia was a sickly beauty with white hair and red eyes that seemed to have taken her north of her. Her pale skin made her suspect tuberculosis or pneumonia. I checked her stats of her.

Characteristic

Strength and Dexterity stats do not increase by more than 4.

Discerning eye
You can discriminate jewels or luxury goods.

Just looking at it, it’s a fucking stat. Garbage with no advantages other than a pretty face. Even if he had a good personality, it was a stat that made me wonder if it would be better to just let a real doll live in the harsh north. Emilia herself seemed to know that too.

She was just a facade and had been crumpling her face throughout the hastily conducted ceremony. The idea of ​​​​somehow escaping from this estate was rampant. There was no hope in this land as long as that woman with such damned stats became a temporary lord. The knights would break the border on their own and then be torn apart, and the northern territories would be turned into soldiers and then become bandits and run away down and down.

In this situation, I did not know what kind of glare I would receive if I told them to support me because I would find a good warrior. If I was in such a fucking situation, even if I escaped, Erina would admit it. The situation is unfortunate, but I had no loyalty to help the North. Who wants to commit suicide? Fuck you?

As soon as I saw the handover was over, I packed my things again. Because now it was really time to go. If you even ask me why I came, the words I will bring out will become ambiguous. I had no intention of running into those messed up northern mountains. I’m going to go home and tell Eve that I’m full.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

“Lord Lucius. I have something to talk about for a while.”

But contrary to my plan, I heard someone knocking on my door. The fact that I came here right after the handover was over meant that there was something I wanted from me. It was clear that this manor was asking for help. Fuck. It was today that Noivan died, but even if he acted quickly, it was too fast.

Besides, there wasn’t a single person knocking on the door. At least 4 people. More than 4 people were waiting for me outside the door. It was clear that they came as a group from the Knights. When I opened the door, as I expected, four real men in armor were staring at me. They were looking at me with grim expressions.

The knight, who had been looking at me with a gloomy face as if he was about to deliver obituary news, opened his mouth.

“Lord Lucius. We know it’s rude for us to say this, but…”

It was obvious why the knights came in groups like this. I had to do my best not to frown. I asked with a depressed expression as if I didn’t know anything.

“What do you want to say?”

The knights knelt down in unison and bowed their heads to me. And fuck this can’t go away These bastards were cleverly blocking the exit and hammering me in the head.

“Lord Lucius! I know this is a rude and absurd request! Just a moment! Please give me your strength so that I can defeat the demons for a moment!”

Fuck. There is no reason to refuse here. I am the head priest of the Daecheonsingyo Church, and I have contributed greatly to the fall of the Grand Duke of the North, and I also played a part in Noiban’s suicide. If the northern part was destroyed after I escaped, the responsibility would return to me as well. That situation had to be avoided.

The knights were moving everything quickly as if they had come together. I said, forcing the knights to calm down. You have to calm down somehow. Because you can’t get your nose stuck in the North. The difficulty of operation was different between the territory the size of my palm and the vast northern part. There’s a lot to manage, tax calculations are hectic, but nothing comes back.

In addition, since Noivan collaborated with Ain for nearly 4 months and gave a damn about his financial situation his, the difficulty level had already jumped several times. And there were not many branches of Daecheonsingyo in the north, so there were not many donations. I tried to convince the knights.

“I don’t have the right to do that. I can’t continue to command here. Also, isn’t Miss Emilia Rubicon, the daughter-in-law of the Archduke Rubicon, acting as the current deputy?”

“He is a very sincere and good person, but he cannot stop the demi-humans of the north. Lord Lucius! Please, lead us and defeat the demons!”

See the future I saw the future beyond my distant vision. If I took command of Nallm here, I would have to put a stake in the North. There won’t be any stupid nobles who want to take charge of the Northern Grand Duke’s territory.

In addition, from the perspective of the Archangel Church, it was an opportunity to expand its influence in the northern region where there were few churches, so it was clear that they would welcome my trip to the north even if it meant appointing me as the northern priest.

In a word, it meant that if I accepted now, I would have to live a fucking life suffering from the cold with the children on the front lines. It was a situation where if I was a little restless, I could accept it and become a slave in the North.

“Please! Lord!”

Wasn’t it like this for the ministers of court who made remonstrations to His Highness His? Knights in armor
He started banging his head on the floor. These kids know it too. If I leave now, the North will perish. I tried to change the subject somehow.

“A proxy has already been appointed, but it is not a good idea to bring in an outsider. Even the Archduke Rubicon in the sky will not like it.”

“I’m already done talking with Mrs. Rubicon!”

That’s the story right? You were promised that you would transfer it safely by ‘talking’, right? Who are the murderous and madness shining around the eyes directed towards?

“I’d like to meet and talk to you in person. Wouldn’t it be better to have a talk with him though?”

“If the lord’s seat were vacant, would you take it?”

One of the knights rushed again. The North has a cold and cold image, but these cubs were as ruthless as the cubs who boiled and ate Excel. Things taken to extremes drove people crazy. These people were more important to the North than to live hostesses.

“I’ll talk to Mrs. Rubicon first.”

Rubicon Emilia was a beauty. At my words, the knights took a step back. One of the drivers opened the door and went out to ask if we could talk. I was troubled in many ways in my room, which was still occupied by knights.

How do I do this? Killing the knights and leaving is the worst choice. In that case, the fall of the real North could have been my fault. All that was left was to make an appropriate deal with Emilia and lead the story in a direction where I did not take responsibility as much as possible.

“Lord Lucius. Will you follow me?”

The knight who went to deliver the news said. For me, who was annoyed to be in the middle of sweaty articles, this was good news. As I left, the knights shouted from behind.

“Please, please!”

I couldn’t handle the rapid acceleration of the knights. I missed the knights of my land, who were like laid-back unemployed men. Noivan you fucking bitch. Will I be able to catch up to the sudden acceleration of a world without you?

Emilia was currently using the lord’s office. She said she was the lord’s deputy and she said it was natural as the current time was her office time her. When she met her again, Emilia was still a beautiful beauty. She scored very high on me, especially for being a widow who had lost her husband and for having her sickly attributes of her.

“Hello, ma’am.”

“Yes. Lord Lucius. Nice to meet you. We are sorry that we are not able to treat you because of the current situation.”

“The knights keep making those… Embarrassing demands of me…”

I didn’t know how to get the word out, so I blurted out the subject. Emilia nodded her head without changing a single expression.

“Yes. That’s right. I also agreed. Lord Lucius. Would you please lead the North instead of me? I know it’s far-fetched.”

Emilia rose from her seat. Her white skin and bright red eyes made her think of a rabbit. Even though she wore several coats, as if she could n’t stand the northern cold, she could tell that her body was dry.

“Please. Even though I have command, I can’t go outside, and I’m not strong enough to defeat the demi-humans. I’m just a noble in name. A human like this can’t take charge of the North.”

Oh, will widows have breast milk? Emilia got up from her desk in her office her and came next to me. As if a rabbit was rubbing her body, he carefully held my hand her. Her eyes her were shaking.

“If the North perishes like this, I will have no face to see my husband even after I die.”

“But how can I take over the North by abandoning my territory?”

I said carefully, pushing her hand away. As I pushed it away, I glanced at the back of my hand, and the smooth skin gave it a different feel. It’s been a while since he couldn’t embrace a woman after coming to the North. Because the last time we had sex was with a mermaid in her back alley her.

Besides, I had never been with a married woman.

“Don’t be too self-indulgent, Mrs. Rubicon.”

“Ah…”

I said, stroking Emilia’s shoulder her. She seemed afraid of my touch. She shuddered a little, then slipped my hand away and knelt on her floor.

“Please. Lord Lucius. I will do whatever support I can from the North…”

Emilia was hesitating. She must be saying this because I’m a priest. But she made a mistake in her judgment of her. Because what was in front of Emilia’s eyes was her was a baby animal.

“Anything?”

Actually, what I was about to do wasn’t such a bad thing. Looking at the situation, I felt that if I tried to take more out of this, the knights would kill Emilia and forcibly entrust her to me.

“Yes. Anything…”

I was forced to take on the job, but wouldn’t someone have to pay the price? Rubicon Emilia probably hasn’t tasted a man for a long time, and I haven’t had sex with a woman for a long time either. So it was clear that this was a good thing for both of them.

I locked the door and asked again.

“You said anything.”

“Ah, that, that’s…”

It was clear that the Archduke Rubicon and the Rubicon Condrix in the sky would agree with my decision. I said as I unbuttoned my pants.

“It’s obvious. What a man wants from a beautiful woman like you.”
