Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Chapter 3. One year later (2)

“That's how far you're willing to go?! ”

“But the half-sane King Bren relies solely on the Count of Poldenbine. We can't rule out the possibility of the Kingdom of Bren itself going into civil war if we push it wrong. In that case, the Emperor of the Empire may show unexpected movement, and it may also compromise our plans……. ”

“Stupid! We didn't have the strength to just turn around like that! ”

“Sorry!”

“When you return, proceed to the plan immediately! ”

“Yes, Master! ”

At the same time as Rudia's answer, Crohan waves his hand at the three men who were lying on the ground.

“Back off!”

At the same time, Crohan's appearance disappears, and the three of them rise slowly. However, there was no one who looked at each other. I just walked quietly out of the room.

‘Umm…. Where the hell are you crawling into? ’

Roban was troubled, not even thinking about stopping, even though the blood from his torn forehead was drenching his forehead vigorously.

‘Damn, I didn't think they'd come out like this...' ’

It was Earl Gronst's wedding day when things started to go wrong. In other words, it was completely torn from the first battle to deal with Earl Frost, who had been provoking the PerGrande Mountains.

‘I should have gone myself...' ’

Rowan frowns and mutters.

There were over 200 elite troops deployed to raid Earl Gronst's wedding venue.

‘You worthless rat...' ’

I was reminded of that day, and Rowan's teeth parted unwittingly.

200 Elite Soldiers who raided the wedding venue were destroyed at the same time.

It was unimaginable for Rowan. There were also a lot of alcoholic clemency among those troops.

But something even more embarrassing happened next. Immediately after destroying the forces of Circus who attacked, Earl Frost and Earl Gronst suddenly disappeared. It wasn't just the two earls. Not only did the tolerance become empty, but the knights of the two Earls and the common soldiers disappeared like smoke.

Since then, Rowan has searched the entire continent with every force he can muster to find Earl Frost and Earl Gronst. However, until almost a year later, there were no traces.

Suddenly, someone's voice buries into Rowan's ears.

“You're having a hard time with the missing Count Frost? ”

“Hmm?"

It was Rudia who was coming towards Rovann, who turned nervously.

“It's none of your business. ”

“Well, I tried to give you a clue, but you didn't need one, did you? ”

At that moment, Rowan felt like his ears were glowing without my knowledge.

“A clue?! ”

For over a year, there has been no place left untraceable from the snow beyond the FerGrande Mountains to the remote islands of the southern sea. Nevertheless, it was the late Earl of Progress who was nowhere to be found.

However, it was impossible to let go of the truth for a moment just by listening to it, even though I said I would give you a clue.

“Well, what is it? The clue? ”

“Hmph, aren't you ashamed enough to ask for it for nothing? ”

“I don't have time for jokes with you, so tell me! ”

“I don't think I'd feel much like talking about it until the end. ”

“Profit!”

Rowan stares at Rudia, making a bad impression on Warak.

But she couldn't have been so keen as to stare at the man who could also take the crown of Circus.

After fighting for a long time, it was Rowan who opened his mouth first. Either way, I had to duck down and enter from the unfortunate side.

“Okay, what do you want? ”

“Knng, that's what you should have done. ”

“Say it! ”

With Rowan's life-saving appearance, Rudia smiles from her face. It's because I know that I have to stimulate Roban to look bad.

“Did you ever think that was weird? ”

“Is that weird? What?”

“Earl Frost. ”

As Rowan, it was a sudden thing to say.

What's wrong with Earl Frost? Of course, it is strange to be able to hide such longitudes. But that's not what Rudia says.

“What's wrong with him? ”

“How did we know we existed? ”

“What?"

“Earl Frost suddenly withdrew from us investigating the PerGrande Mountains, which means he may have found out about us. What's the trigger? ”

“Suck!”

Rowan looks at Rudia, flabbergasted.

‘Then, I was curious once.... ’

I questioned the identity of those who first entered the FerGrande Mountains. I was more curious about how I got to know Circus than who was investigating Circus. However, while he was investigating his disappearance and attacking Lycaen, he naturally withdrew from the question.

Rowan asked with a meaningful voice.

“You seem to have something on your mind when you bring it up. ”

“Well? There's nothing in particular. But think about it. Don't you think there's something missing from the search for the Pergrande Mountains? ”

“Fall out?”

“Earl Prokers, who knew nothing about us, suddenly began searching our homeland, the FerGrande Mountains. But this is the part where we get to know our organization and investigate it. It's like you just happened to notice us in the Per Grande Mountains. Which means it can't happen unless someone intervenes. ”

“Intervention?”

“Yes. If Earl Frost had been investigating us from the beginning, we wouldn't have known anything. I didn't even notice that. I came to the Grand Fernande Mountains. I mean, all I can think about is that someone told us who we were and who told us about the PerGrande Mountains. ”

But Rowan shakes his head.

“There were those who were digging about us before Earl Frost arrived. ”

However, Ludia smiled and added an explanation that she also knew.

“There were people digging. The last of the House of Byron, the Witch Tehaz. And that old lady has a close relationship with Earl Procurus. But Tehaz didn't do a lot of digging. That means that Tehaz would never give up information about us to Earl Proquus. ”

“Did you?”

“Well, there's no way to find out, but it's going to be. If Tehaz had gone that deep, we wouldn't have known. ”

“So that's what I'm going to do... is find that ‘someone’? ”

“Something like that."

Rowan snorts as Rudia nods without delay.

“Huh, did you think I would make such a deal? ”

“Hoho, you didn't say that. I'm not asking you to find it, I'm asking you to take a lead. And, of course, there's some clues to that clue. ”

However, Rowan glances at Rudia, his eyes still mixed with suspicion.

“Then you'd better do it yourself. ”

“I've got a lot of work to do. And it has something to do with finding Earl Frost. ”

“Khh, are you going to feed me to the end? ”

“Hmmm ~ Or there's a way for me to find Earl Procurus... What should I do? ”

“Hehehe, is that the last threat? ”

“Well, think whatever you want. I've been thinking about it.... I can't help it if I don't want to. ”

In the end, Rowan nodded, making an impression on Rudia as if it didn't matter.

“Fine. This time, I'll take the loss. Well, why don't you tell me what you want me to know first? ”

“Before that, I'm sure you'll keep your promise, right? ”

“Of course.”

As Rovann nods, shoulders outstretched, Rudia gives a suspicious glance for a moment, but nods as if giving up.

“Well, I have to believe you. ”

“Come on, then, tell me. ”

“There was a rumor in the war a year ago. ”

“What rumors? ”

“An heir to the Earl of Poldenbine joined the ranks of a soldier in the Earl of Marcus. ”

“Hehehe, what? I thought I was gonna say something big, but was that just a rumor? ”

Rowan said with a goofy look on his face. Perhaps Rowan had already heard of the rumor.

“You think that's a myth? ”

“So it's true? Does it make sense for an Earl's heir to join the army in another territory? ”

“Normally, it doesn't make sense. Have you thought about that? ”

“What?”

“Where was Rudy Poldenwein, the heir to Earl Poldenwein during the war? ”
