Count Scribe's Tutor

“Nercio's purpose is to be recognized by three warlords. Only then can I inherit the throne without the military assistance of the Empire and the Holy Land. ”

Empires and Holy Nations are strictly foreign.

If we get their help, the day will surely come when we will have to repay them by ship.

Nercio knew this well, so he sought only to inherit the throne with his own strength and power.

“But to be recognized by military bees, you have to have authenticity. Nercio may be of royal blood, but his succession ranks lower than mine and his brother's. ”

I was just mentioning the word 'King Hyun'.

Vernia's glabella crumpled for a moment. It was an expression of contempt.

When Ferda notices this, she suddenly hesitates.

"Why do you call him King Hyun? ’

King Carter, the current monarch of Jerome, is the father of Princess Bernia.

However, instead of calling him Avamarma, he used the name Hyundai. With a look and a voice full of contempt. I was curious about this, but I tried hard to suppress it.

That's not what matters right now.

Ferda listens again to Vernia's story.

“So it's best for the man to take those who are already authentic into his own hands as his wife. And now I'm the only one in the court of Jerome who meets all these criteria. ”

Finally, Bernia closes her mouth.

Meanwhile, Ferda's face still had deep questions.

‘I know what Nersio's purpose is. ’

Capturing authenticity and drawing the bees under control.

And using it to usurp the throne.

This is the man's purpose. However, the problem was that we could not understand the process of achieving this goal.

Why do you want to go back to the easy way? ’

If Ferda were Nersio, she would have assassinated Prince Bernia and Prince Berther by now. Then only Nercio will be left to succeed.

‘Then the military bees will have to admit it. ’

But why would he want to marry Bernia?

No, before that, Nersio and Bernia were uncle to nephew. You take a blood-soaked relative as your wife? Ferda's common sense did not allow me to understand. So I immediately asked out of my mouth.

“I understand that the prince and the man are connected by blood. ”

“Oh! I didn't get a chance to say that. ”

Then, Bernia stopped speaking to him.

Then he smiled and said.

“The current king and Nersio are brothers, but their mothers are different. ”

As soon as I heard this, I understood at once.

In other words, Nersio was a bastard royalty. And when I realized this, I understood a little bit why Nersio wanted to use chi and gain authenticity.

‘Of course, not everyone understands. ’

There were some questions that remained unsolved in Vernia's explanation.

After clearing your mind, you look back at Vernia and open your mouth.

“Let me just get a few things straight. ”

“Ask me anything. If that's what I know, I'll answer it. ”

Bernia smiles.

He lowers his head, then asks a question.

“First of all, is the information about the suitor reliable? ”

Ferda never heard this story before today.

Moreover, the reliability of the information was very low because I heard it directly from the protagonist of the story. So I wanted to make sure this information was clear first.

“Yes. Earlier this year, I made an offer directly from the New Year's Eve. ”

In response, Ferda claps her mouth shut.

It was because I didn't think I would hear it myself. Meanwhile, Bernia takes Nersio's offer from the New Year's feast out of her mouth.

“Nercio said that if he accepted the marriage, he would allow him to live a life as rich as he is now. He also said he wasn't going to take Berter's life. ”

Words are suggestions, they're actually threats.

Ferda nods quietly. If you heard it yourself and even remembered it, the reliability of the information would be as clear.

“The next question may be a little sensitive, but · · · · · ·. ”

“It doesn't matter. Ask me anything. ”

I asked the question straight to a cool answer.

“How much power does the princess have? ”

“It's okay to say very little. I've never made one. ”

The answer came back without hesitation.

A moment later, Bernia adds an important piece of information to her face that reminds her of what she forgot.

“Ah! But the power of the outside side is a little strong. It's an Eastern military family. ”

Duke of Darcas.

An outsider to Princess Bernia and the largest military family in Jerome's kingdom.

As soon as I heard this information, I realized why Nercio had not chosen assassination. If you assassinate Bernia, you will turn the Duke of Darcas against you from that moment on.

Moreover, according to Bernia, the Western warlord Seul, the southern warlord, and Odvan, have also had ongoing interactions with the Duke of Darcas.

Meanwhile, Ferda, who was listening to the story, was a strange face.

"No, there's no power. ’

You're already intimate with the forces that Nersio so desperately wants to possess. It's only now that I understand Nercio's choice.

“So is that all of your questions solved? ”

Bernia smiles as she finishes her explanation.

Ferda shakes her head, out of her mind. It was because there was one more important question.

“I have one last question. ”

“What is it?”

“I would like to inquire about King Carter's health. ”

As soon as Ferda's question ended, Vernia's expression became stiff.

Probably because he realized the intentions contained in the question.

‘Jerome's throne is not a vacancy. ’

Unlike the civil war in Laderon five years ago, King Carter, lord of Jerome, is young and healthy. Perhaps a decade more will sit on the throne.

Then why are you already planning to take the throne?

Is there a hidden lining that you don't know about?

This is what Ferda really wanted to ask. And it wasn't until a long time later that Bernia responded.

“· · · · · · It's hard to answer the details, but I'm sure of this. ”

Darker bitten face.

Immediately, a cold voice came out.

“The current king has recently accepted Nersio's offer. ”

The moment I heard that.

Rarely fitted pieces of the puzzle come together.

‘I see. Is that why you have a different attitude? ’

When I spoke with Robert and the emissary found Jerome, King Carter showed a completely different attitude. I didn't know why at the time, but now I understand somewhat.

‘I don't know the details, but... ’

But I see how things are going.

Ferda looks back at Bernia, who has finished cleaning up her mess.

And then I came up with the whole point.

“What do you want, then? ”

“There are two things I'd like to ask of you. ”

Bernia replies as if she had waited.

Soon after that, Ferda snatches the answer.

“One of them must be the extermination of the insects. ”

“Phew, you're quick to notice. That's right."

Bernia blindfolds her eyes and smiles, covering her mouth with her hands.

A moment later, she settles for one last favor.

“Another request would be to investigate the purpose of those from the Holy Land. ”

With that, Ferda's eyebrows twitch.

People from the Holy Land. Wasn't it just the High Priestess?

At a time when facial expressions were out of control, Vernia followed further explanation.

“I hear the Holy Nation has decided to take over the Ethiopian mines in exchange for Nersio's cooperation. But it's a mine that closed down decades ago, and there are so many monsters around it that it doesn't even go near it. ”

A closed mine. But the Holy Land demanded it in return.

I smelled something. It smelled ominous and hideous. When I nodded with a stiff face, a question popped up.

“But isn't that place got nothing to do with the princess? ”

Bernia's objective is to destroy the Elite Soul and clear up the forces under Nersio. I was not relaxed enough to care about the Holy Nation. Meanwhile, Vernia answered Ferda's question with a fair attitude.

“If you're in charge, there is. It makes sense for suspicious people in the front yard where I live to be concerned about suspicious things. ”

Was it a blatant setback?

Ferda bursts into laughter without even knowing it.

“I see. I see. ”

“Then may I take your request? ”

Vernia, naturally followed by horses.

I almost nodded my head. But it's too early to tell.

“Before I do, I have a question for you. ”

“Phew, is there still a question? ”

Bernia sighs as if bored.

Unfortunately, this is not a question. Ferda asks with a serious expression.

“If you do me a favor, what can you offer the erl? ”

At the end of his question, Bernia's expression changed.

Is that what the Surprise Bunny looks like? She looks at Ferda with her eyes wide open. Then I asked again with a trembling tone.

“That's an unexpected question. Aren't you Robert's squire? ”

“I serve only Earl Sernerk. And most of all, the Earl's safety and profits. ”

Ferda smiled and said.

“This is very important for the Princess. It's also a very difficult request. Some of the bugs the princess wants to exterminate must also include Nercio. ”

After Ferda's words were finished, Bernia was troubled.

I didn't expect it to come out like this. After a while, she opens her mouth after finishing her worries.

“Let me ask you the opposite. What do you want from me? ”

“There are also two things I want. ”

Ferda grins as she unfolds her index finger and stops.

I folded the stops first, then added the words directly.

“First of all, one day, do me a favor from Earl Serenek. ”

“Impossible. It's like asking for a wish, right? ”

“You have nothing to worry about. I'll make you a deal. ”

“Condition?”

“Yes, I will not ask for the lives of Jerome's people, nobles, or royalty. Nor will I ask you to threaten the kingdom. ”

Vernia frowns on the conditions coming out of Ferda's mouth.

I'm sure I blame him for not being able to predict his intentions.

“I don't get it. So what are you asking me to do? ”

“I'll tell you about that later. ”

“· · · · · · It's a little awkward, but good. On that condition, I think it's possible. ”

Bernia nods as she ponders.

Then Ferda folds up the rest of her index finger and says,

“The other is an independent alliance with Independent Serknek. ”

“Which alliance specifically? ”

“An alliance on the same terms as Laderon. ”

In response, Bernia's expression turns dull again.

I couldn't understand why he was making such a request.

“Hmmm, I don't know what the intention is, but it's possible. That's how long my brother will be on the throne. ”

When Bernia kept talking.

Ferda's eyebrows frown. He opens his index finger again and politely says.

“I'm sorry, but I will correct the content. ”

“I beg your pardon?”

“Prince Berter's ascension to the throne is beyond calculation. ”

Ferda has never actually seen Berter.

I just heard he was weak. Above all, there was no one to trust between Berter and Silas. That means you're a total stranger.

‘But Prince Bernia is different. ’

There is Robert between Bernia and Silvan.

This alone is quite an insurance policy. It will be much easier to get intervention when there is a problem later, and it will be much easier to cooperate.

‘And more than anything else. ’

I liked that it was fairly quick to notice.

I think I saw Robert like five years ago. Show the power of reality, and if you curl it properly, you'll be a great chess horse like Robert is now.

Meanwhile, Ferda said that Bernia was embarrassed.

“However, if it is not Berter, then a worthy candidate is · · · · · · · ·. ”

“Wouldn't the candidate be right in front of me? ”

Ferda pushes back with a cheeky face.

He chuckles as Vernia's eyes grow larger.

“May the princess be king of Jerome. ”

“ · · · · · ·! ”

“And let the princess pay for her own deals. If this is not the case, I will treat it as no transaction. ”

Vernia bites her lip tightly.

Suddenly, a lot of thoughts and worries came to her eyes and disappeared. After a short time, my closed lips opened.

“· · · · · · Do you have the power to do so? ”

Of course there is.

Five years ago, he was the one who ended the civil war in Laderon. But Bernia doesn't know him. So Ferda decided to use a more intuitive approach.

“I thought you might say that. ”

Ferda grins and pulls out the paper and pen from her arms.

Bernia tilts her head in surprise.

“Is this · · · · · · · · · ·? ”

“Write down a list of the bugs you want to exterminate there. ”

Seeing Vernia's eyes shake, she looks up at her mouth.

A moment later, he said in a dry voice.

“I will show the Princess the power of Sernerk. ”

So intense that I'll never forget it again.

Ferda's mouth is filled with cynicism.
