Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

“It's been a year. ”

A relaxing smile comes to Earl Poldenbine's face as he greets Lycaen. Lycaen nods politely.

“Have you been well? ”

“Haha, there was a special note. But thanks to your consideration, I was able to get you out of here safely. I'd like to say hello to the Knights who worked hard afterwards, but I need you to make some space for me. ”

“Of course. But I have company today, so are you okay? ”

“If I'm going with you, I need to talk to you. And the Count of Poldenbine does not abandon his visitors. ”

Lycaen takes a step aside, returning the favor by lowering his head again. And Likayen's companions step forward.

“Haha, it's been a long time. ”

“I'm late, but congratulations on your wedding. How is the Earl's wife? ”

“Yes, of course. ”

After a light hello, Caith stepped aside, and this time, Senna grabbed the hem and leaned over to greet.

“Have you been at peace? ”

Although her face was chaotic, her beauty remained. Rather, blackened skin gave me a vibrant and healthy feeling.

“Sheena Yang looks healthier. ”

“I think you're still wonderful. ”

Earl Poldenwein greets Senna with a big nod.

It would never have been easy to live in seclusion for a year. Nevertheless, Senna looks really lively. And strangely, there is something profound about it.

“I feel good even when I talk rubbish. Haha, if I wasn't Rudy's father, I would have opposed marrying my son.

I pass it around as if it were a joke, but a little serious. Recently, Rudy's appearance seemed to be getting worse and worse, so I was heartbroken and disappointed. It was very comparable to Senna who appeared to be very mature in just one year.

Earl Poldenbine thought he wanted to talk more with Sena, but now he has someone more important to talk to, so he postponed that thought.

The person standing behind Sheena was today's most important guest.

I read the mind of the Earl of Poldenbine, and Senna carefully stepped aside. And then Derek slowly approaches.

“I think it's been years since I've seen your face like this. You've become much younger since you passed on the title to your son? ”

Judging by his years, he was 10 years older, so Earl Poldenbine greeted him politely first.

“Haha, isn't it also embarrassing for a person to grow old and become younger? Earl Poldenbine still looks lively, so it's good to see him. ”

“Anyway, welcome to my house. Let's just rest for a while and go. ”

“The situation is enough to make me smile. ”

“Will that work? Okay, let's get you inside. ”

Earl Poldenbine escorts the group to the Bow Bin. The room was not glamorous, but magnificent, and it clearly reflected the attitude of the Earl of Poldenbine.

A fiercely scented car sits in front of everyone. Earl Poldenbine picks up a cup of tea and opens his mouth.

“We've prepared you for tea. I don't know if you like it. ”

Derek nods with a relaxed expression.

“You're very welcome, very good. ”

“That's good. The Earl's wife says she's very skilled in cars. When will you give her a chance to try it?" ”

“Haha, welcome anytime. Of course, he's still wandering around without a home, though it might take a while. ”

“Is the house a problem? Wherever you can sit, it's a great place to enjoy a car. ”

“I might think so. ”

Derek nods casually, and Earl Poldenbine takes a moment to look at the others and opens his mouth carefully.

“By the way...... there's something I've been preparing for a long time. ”

“Prepare for what? ”

“I'm thinking of building a house.... I couldn't find any owners to live in. ”

The words are quite meaningful. And everyone sitting in their seats was able to guess the hidden meaning of the word. It was because he knew that Earl Poldenbine was no longer hopeful of the Bren family and was preparing for the birth of a new dynasty.

Throughout Lycaen's cover-up, Joel was constantly gathering information, most of which was given to Lycaen. And within that information, Lycaen was able to recognize the Earl of Poldenbine's leadership.

Derek, too, was briefly told by Lycaen, but for now, pretended not to know.

“Haha, you build a house without a master? ”

“This is only the end of the plan, and nothing has been set in motion. But in fact, there is one landlord who has been thinking about it. ”

“Is that so? A house built by Lord Foldenbine would be great and big. Who do you think owns such a house? ”

Derek already has some expectations, but he asks with a blunt look.

And Earl Poldenbine answered without hesitation.

“I want Ser Derek Prokers to be the owner of the house. How would you like that? ”

“Suck!”

Suddenly, Derek feels suffocated. Derek thought it was his son, Lycaen. But I never thought his name would come from the mouth of an Earl of Poldenbine.

But Derek didn't want his son to be king. However, the Brent dynasty had already entered the path of the Dead Kingdom, and its reflexes were ready to rise. The change in dynasty caused great confusion. And it was probably the people who suffered the most from the chaos. Derek thinks Lycaen can put the chaos to rest and bring the government back to normal in no time.

“W-what did you say? ”

Derek asks, not hiding any embarrassment.

“Sir Derek Prokers said he would like you to be the owner of a new home. And by the way, that house is going to be built in Edelschut. ”

Earl Polden speaks in a wedge. But Derek was so confused, he could hardly calm down.

“Haha, I don't know. I don't really need a big, fancy house. A small space is enough for me and my inner circle to feel at ease. ”

Derrick suddenly felt a sense of camaraderie.

“Hmm?"

As he hurriedly looked around, Derek quickly realized the identity of the painting. The rest of the people, except for themselves, were not embarrassed. No, Earl Poldenbine nods his head as if it were natural.

It was as if Earl Poldenbine knew what he was going to say.

Earl Poldenbine's explanation followed.

“I've been thinking a lot, too. However, no matter how difficult the territory was, it was determined that there was no suitable person except Sir Derek Procures, who ruled the territory with the highest priority. ”

Earl Poldenbine first came to mind as he was preparing for his reign, in fact, Earl Dobbon. Not only was he gaining inspiration from many nobles, but he had a lot of education and character. It doesn't have much ambition, but it can't ignore the magnificence of a decent predator. He was the new king who had the ability to hold the ground and stabilize the country.

However, Earl Poldenbine had no choice but to withdraw his thoughts. The biggest reason was the age of Lord Dovern. After the reign of Governor, the kingdom was in great turmoil. It took a lot of time and strength to capture the chaos and stabilize the country. It was determined that the age of Lord Dovern was too much to maintain that time and strength.

Moreover, the late Lord Dovern had no son. There was Earl Gronst, the only biological granddaughter and granddaughter son-in-law, but the authenticity could have been compromised. As soon as the dynasty changed, it was another risk of creating chaos.

That's why I thought of Derek. He was a person who could rule people with inclusion rather than oppression. And his son, Lycaen, had the power to weigh his father's throne. And his powerful son had no problems with the throne. Likewise, after the change in dynasty, Lycaen was also able to push through the debate over the interests of the foreign officials, which of course had to worry about.

A person who looks different but has similar advantages and disadvantages to the Duke of Dorbon. Earl Poldenbine was more and more suitable for viewing.

But there was something a little bit surprising, which seemed to be Likayen's natural reaction to what she had to say. No, seeing that you brought Derek here, you seemed to know that you were having these feelings.

Derek shakes his head in embarrassment.

“I don't think I can live in such a house because I'm uncomfortable. ”

“We adapt to living in the space we used to live in. ”

“But I don't think I fit in somehow, rather than me.... ”

Derrick gives a blurry speech, then gives Ricaien a sneak glance.

“Well, I'm ashamed for you to say this, but wouldn't my son be more fit in that big house than I am? ”

The answer came directly from Lycaen, not Earl Poldenbine.

“No, Father. ”

“Humility is not a place for virtue here. ”

“It's not humility, Father. I don't fit in. ”

And Caith said the same thing.

“I don't think Lycaen would fit in. You may be fit for two new kings, but you're not fit for one. ”

Derek tilts his head in a way that he doesn't understand. In most of history, the first to open a dynasty has mostly grown in power and captured the frame of the country.
