Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Earl Eisen is the most powerful nobleman in the Brent Kingdom. He was able to do anything he wanted, not only because he had the trust of the king in one body, but also because he had many nobles under his influence.

And the fact that Count Leon, who was taken from the land, belongs to Earl Eigen's clan.

It was the Earl of Eigen that caused Lycaen to make a name for herself at the time of the Territory War. This is because Earl Eigen's objection to the aftermath of the Territory War is quite bothersome.

Things were going well back then. Borrowing a hundred years ago is ridiculous, but there's no way to argue with it. However, there was no guarantee that Earl Eisenhower would not hold a grudge. Because Prince Leon was one of Earl Eisen's big money strings.

But Lycaen smiled and said,

“If I was afraid of that, I wouldn't go to the capital. Hurry back.”

Anton was unable to speak any more because of Ricaien's cut-off attitude.

“Very well. Please be careful. ”

It was then.

Two or two!

Someone is running towards you with a horse through a crowded clan of potters. I turned around and saw the man in uniform calling out in a loud voice.

“Earl Frocus! ”

The knights who heard it hurriedly surround Lycaen. It doesn't look dangerous, but it is quite surprising that someone suddenly comes from this place.

Lycaen sees a knight running this way, muttering to Elisha next to him.

“You must know me when you see me coming straight this way. ”

“Your hair is noticeable everywhere you go. ”

“Damn, his silver hair. Is there any way to change your hair forever? ”

“Well, just stay. They look great on silver hair. ”

“Tsk, that's all anyone ever says. ”

Meanwhile, the knight arrives in front of the group and hurries to get off the horse.

“Is Earl Lycaen Prokers right? ”

Asking politely did not seem particularly hostile. Lycaen nods and asks.

“Who are you? ”

The knight leans back and says:

“I am Dunbane, Earl Gronst's acolyte. ”

Earl Gronst is the Lord of Caventes. Lycaen looks at Dunbane with sharp eyes and asks.

“Why are you looking for me? ”

“I'm here to convey the Lord's will that I wish to invite Earl Frost to Castle Gronst. ”

“Me? Why? Earl Gronst and I don't get along so well. ”

“He said that he wanted to invite me to dinner. He also offered to accompany them on their way to the capital to attend the State Council. ”

“A companion to the capital.... ”

Dunbane smiles lightly as Lycaen mutters with a cautious voice.

“Our Earl also added that if you want to hunt in the capital, you must be full, so don't refuse." ”

“Hunting... ”

State meetings are not just a place to discuss state affairs.

Most of the kingdoms on the continent are in good standing. In other words, the powers of the nobles are not as great as those of other kingdoms.

But that doesn't mean that all things can be done according to the king's will. When nobles gather their opinions together, it sometimes breaks the king's will.

Thus, each king leads his own way by soothing or intimidating his attendants.

The State Conference is an event to build a smooth relationship with senior nobles that the king may oppose. It was such a way of forming relationships with senior nobles gathered for state meetings, promising support through separate meetings, or threatening the fault of the other nobles.

One of them was fox hunting. The King of Bren Kingdom calls on elite nobles to the Hunting Contest every time there is a State Council, offering the winning nobles a bow sealed by the royal family as a prize. However, it often offers visible awards, in fact, a salutation or a secret benefit, which was an open secret among the senior nobles.

Lycaen glares at Dunbane's words. It is because Earl Gronst knows that hunting means something else, not Fox Hunting hosted by the King.

“Yes, it takes stamina to hunt. Earl Gronst seems to want to hunt something more special than a normal fox... Am I right? ”

“Our Earl said he wanted you to know the beauty of hunting as well. ”

“I see. Well, I'm suddenly curious as to how great the entertainment of the Gronst ball is. ”

Dunbane smiles brightly.

“I'll get the wagon. ”

“No, if you want to bring a wagon to a crowded place like this, you'd better get busy. Lead the way.”

“Yes, I'll lead the way. ”

“Oh, before that……. ”

Lycaen makes Dunbane pause, hurrying for Anton.

“Hurry up and take the children back to the land. ”

“Shouldn't we accompany you only to Earl Gronst? ”

“There you go.”

Anton eventually had to break his stubbornness in response to Lycaen's cut underground.

“Very well. Please be careful. ”

Anton, the maids and knights duck down deep and take a hard step. After watching it for a moment, Lycaen says to Dunbane, who is waiting.

“Let's get going. ”

The wagon is located just outside of Cabentes Port, surrounded by four knights escorting it. Dunbane looks back and says.

“I've prepared my own horses, so you two can ride them. ”

Tom and Jack ride naturally, and the rest of the party board the wagon with Lycaen.

As the wagon begins to move, Lycaen, who remembers Elisha recognizing her at once in the Republic of Morellia, asks in a faint voice.

“What do you know about Earl Gronst? ”

“I don't know? Imperial Intelligence flies with huge amounts of information every day. Inside the empire, of course, is information about each of the continental kingdoms. But I can't remember all that, can I? I recognized the Earl at the time because I saw that the roots of dyed hair were silver... Oh, by the way, I don't think Earl Gronst had changed that long ago either. ”

“I did. I remember it was last spring, so I became an Earl half a year ahead of me. I think he was my age, too. ”

“All I know is roughly. How long have you been accumulating so much wealth thanks to Caventes' portfolio? ”

Markets are formed where people gather. And where logistics converge, there is a large commercial right, not a market. And Caventes Pouch was one of the largest in the Pollen River. Earl Gronst has been making a lot of money in the commercial space formed in Caventes Porto for quite some time.

“Definitely the largest in the whole of the Pollen River. Hmm... ”

I have recalled earlier, but there is not much information about the current Earl Gronst. Riccianne was formerly an outstanding talent, but she was surprisingly vulnerable to new information because she didn't interact with the outside world much. There's only one piece of information left.

Lycaen asks for Elisha.

“Earl Gronst says he's good enough to hear that he's a zealot. What do you think of that? ”

“A good personality? That means... one of two things. Stupid……. ”

Lycaen finishes Elisha's words for you.

“Scared the hell out of me. Which one do you think Earl Gronst is? ”

“I think it's the latter. I think he was watching the Earl... ”

The reason Lycaen came here as soon as he arrived was that he knew he was on a boat in advance. Of course, you don't even know the urgency to change people.

However, what it meant was that he had been watching over Lycaen for a long time. Simply a good person and such work is far away.

Lycaen nods and Elisha adds.

“Especially considering the hunting story that the Acolyte told me earlier. ”

“Hunting... I guess you know what that means. ”

“Hehe, I know what to call Earl Eigen. ”

The old fox of the east. Those who hate Earl Eisen call him by his nickname. Earl Gronst's hostility toward Earl Eigen was revealed to Lycaen by the King's Hunting Competition.

“But Earl Gronst won't be familiar with Earl Limón... ”

If Earl Eisen is one of the king's favorite nobles, then the Limón Era is a force made by nobles who are not of the mainstream.

Though not as massive as Earl Eisen's clan, it was somewhat insurmountable. Earl Gronst, however, was not in the company of Earl Limón. Quite frankly, it was like Lycaen, a completely non-alcoholic.

It was a little unclear that Earl Gronst was hostile to Earl Eigen.

“Well, we'll see. ”
