Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

And Prince Leon walks the opposite path. This family, which has been developed for generations, has made outward chambers and revolved around each province, reaching for anything from the ring money to the sale and the opium. And the barons of Benos Leon were as vast a territory as the erl himself.

Among the vast areas of the Duke of Leon was a significant portion of the land that belonged to the former Duke of Prokers.

When I heard the word "Earl Leon" as Earl Procurus, I felt like I was popping out of my body and feeling unconscious for no reason.

Then I hear someone's voice outside the door.

“Wolf, Feron. I've been summoned by the Earl. ”

Now that we've reached the acolyte, it's time to meet with Bird of Leon. However, the erl hardly seems to fall off his feet, twisting the Federation's head and grooming the clothesline, not thinking about getting up.

Keeping an eye on him, Hildor speaks quietly toward the Earl.

“If you're so anxious, why don't you go talk to Reek? ”

“How can you discuss such a thing with a sick child? ”

When I thought the illness had been completely cured for three months, my son lay down again with the same illness.

“Rather, you'll be disappointed if you don't come. So you should go to Reek first. ”

Hildor silently raises the Earl and pushes him toward the door. But the Earl insisted.

“No, I'm going straight to the tangential room. ”

Opening the door, Wolf and Feron are standing in a uniform they haven't worn in recent years.

“Phew!”

The erl lets out a long sigh and takes a step that does not fall.

The Earl could not open the door, although he walked for a long time in slow steps to get to the front door. But in the end, I had to go in.

The erl takes a deep breath and gives the Wolf a small gesture. Then he opened the door and went inside.

“Earl Procus is coming in. ”

Earl Leon, who was sitting on the couch, stands up and the Earl goes inside with him. Then Wolf goes out again, closes the door, and sets into a protective position in front of him.

“Have a seat.”

“Thank you."

It took some time to get in. Once in, the Earl does not hesitate to speak or shrink.

“I heard business flourishes every day. What a talent. ”

“Haha, just lucky. Edmond.”

As Duke Leon gestures, Edmond, standing behind you, steps forward with a small box. The Feron picks up the box, carefully checking it, and drops it in front of the Earl.

“What is this? ”

“This is my small gesture. I don't come here often, but I can't come here empty-handed. ”

The Earl looks at the Feron and opens the chest. Suddenly, a dazzling glow emanates from within the box.

“Hmm?"

“A goddess made of pure gold. ”

As Birch Leon had said, there was an unparalleled Statue of Splendor cast in pure gold and stuffed with colorful jewels.

But the Earl shakes his head quietly.

“My house is too pristine, so I don't think this fancy stuff is right for me. I'll just be thankful. ”

Despite the Earl's refusal, Prince Leon nods, smiling strangely as if he doesn't care.

“Next time I see you, I'll need to get you a tea that the Earl's mistress enjoys. I'm not sure I'm the only one messing with the Earl's mind as a gift. ”

“No. But I don't think I came here to give you this.... So, what brings you here? ”

Baron reaches out to Edmond in the back again. Edmond hands over a rolling piece of paper to the birch.

“Actually, this is why I came to see you. ”

“Hmm? What is this? ”

Earl Prokers, who was looking at the paper, suddenly froze and looked at the letters on the paper.

“This, this……. ”

Erl Leon smiled at Earl Frost, who was surprised and unable to speak properly.

“As you can see, it's borrowing. ”

The amount listed on the loan was 30,000 platinum. In Argent, the most commonly used currency unit on the continent, it is 3 million. It was a fraction of what Earl Frost had been collecting for a year.

Moreover, the seal of Earl Frost was clearly stamped. No matter how thoroughly I looked, the seal was definitely the seal of Earl Procurus.

Earl Frost asked with an unbelievable look on his face.

“Are you saying I borrowed this money? ”

The seal on the loan was definitely his, but Earl Frost had never borrowed money under oath. So it was best to ask this question.

“I understand that the seal on the loan was definitely Earl Procures' seal? ”

“Of course, I never borrowed money. ”

“But I did lend you money. ”

“So who put a seal on this loan? ”

“I'm Rotes Bowen, the administrator of Erl Procures. ”

“What!”

Earl Frosty's eyes widen, calling out to Lotes in haste. However, it was only surprising that Earl Frost would be welcomed.

“The marshal says he hasn't been seen since last night. ”

Wolf came back a long time later to look for Rothes. What was in Wolf's hands was a rather thick collection of documents.

“This was in the administration room of the clerk. ”

Pussy.

Earl Frost's hand trembles violently beyond belief. His eyes, which were reading the documents, were also out of focus.

The contents of the documents were the expenditures of money. And that is, the rent of a huge villa in the mountains, chefs, liquor, women…….

In other words, it was documents that Earl Frost had borrowed enormous sums of money and was overwhelmed by purple.

“Rothes!”

Earl Frost, who has never raised a voice in his life, grows old despite the presence of Earl Leon.

"I abandoned my dead son and fell in love with a woman? ’

But Rothes isn't here right now.

I only borrowed money, used it, and don't actually see the money. And Rothes in the center was already gone.

The situation was clear.

Rothes teamed up with Leon to create fake borrowings and fake transcripts. It's a fake borrowing, so the money on it is money that doesn't really exist.

It was a complete joke to Earl Frost.

It would not have been possible if it were an ordinary noble family. But Earl Frost was weaker and weaker than the rural lord of the province.

That's why Gacin is able to do this ungrateful thing to his family.

‘Phew, if only Lycaen were healthy... …. ’

Suddenly, that thought hit my mind.

Not because he's his own kid, but because Lycaen is really good. I tried my best in many ways, and there was nothing stopping me.

It was then that Earl Frost would be able to regain the glory of his past once he inherited his son's title.

But was the sky jealous of such extraordinary abilities? His son, who was so proud, was sick one day.

I was miraculously cured once, but I was lying down again not long ago.

Unknown disease.

A disease that doesn't seem to be healing at all.

"Whew, did Earl Procurus end up like this? ’

The Earl bowed his head without even knowing it because of the frustration that was being pushed like the tide.

Suddenly, I felt the urge to insist that this seal was not the work of the Earl. But I couldn't. It is because if a nobleman denies his seal, all documents made of that seal will be nullified.

The invalidation of all official documents of the erl meant that the territory would be turned upside down. So I couldn't.

At that moment, the door opened quietly, and Wolf entered the tangential room. Then he handed the little note to Earl Procurus.

Hmm?

Earl Prokers' eyes open as he reads the note.

‘Let's hear what you're asking and be positive. And then you have to buy time. ’

It was Riccianne's handwriting.

You mean there's something you can do? ’

To buy time means to do something with it. In other words, there is hope.

‘First, I have to do as Ricaien says. ’

Earl Procurus asked with a firm expression.

“So, why did you bring this car today? ”

Earl Frost doesn't have that kind of money. Everyone around him knows that. If so, it means that there is another reason.

“Of course, I'm here to exercise my rights as a creditor. ”

“Is that so? But judging by this loan, it looks like the repayment deadline is still here." Do you have anything else in particular to say? ”

I didn't have to try to change my words. The opposing Pokémon knows anyway. In this case, it is best to ask directly.

“I know that. I said I was exercising my creditors' rights. I didn't say I was going to get paid. ”

“Creditor rights? What right do you have besides getting the money you lent me? ”

Duke Leon tilts his head and says to Earl Procurus, with a very twisted smile.

“You have the right to tear it up with pleasure. ”

“Torn right? ”
