“No! ”
Screaming out of my mouth, I don't know.
“Huh? What can't? ”
My father asked me with a curious face.
Oops.
I made excuses in a hurry.
“It's no big deal, and Leira doesn't look like Arthur's lapel. ”
“Why?”
Suddenly, my father questioned me.
“I know Leira Young is possessed by a strong and vain character. A woman like that can't be the mistress of this territory. ”
“How do you know that? ”
She was my wife!
... because I couldn't say...
“This is a story I overheard when I was selling 40,000 sacks of wheat from a hoodie writer. ”
“Mmmm... ”
I said, my father was briefly troubled and lost in thought. But soon I opened my mouth again.
“Well, what do you think? She's young and pretty, but that's fine. ”
He shrugs his shoulders like it was nothing. I looked at my father foolishly because I was so confused. If you're pretty, you're hot!
My father slapped me on the shoulder and laughed.
“Kuhaha! Of course I'm joking. ”
You're kidding, right? Right? And it bothered me that my father had been working as a monopoly for 15 years.
After saying goodbye to Brother Arthur and Rick's mother, even my mother, who was taken as a concubine, died early and had to live a lonely day.
Thanks to you, there's no woman in my family.
Then, my father might be happy to have a daughter-in-law.
“Don't worry. Any woman can handle Arthur. He's a wife-beating pervert, isn't he? Plus, if we get married to the writer Hoodini, it's a huge advantage for us. ”
Nooooo!
That was also true.
Unlike me, Arthur is the owner of a strong heart. It is Arthur who is not the one who has clear standards of right and wrong. I didn't think he was going to be seduced by Leira.
Moreover, the writer of Houdini made an enormous amount of money in the Great Plague. When we become such a family and a widow, our political position also rises greatly.
But you know what?
She lived with me for 17 years! I even had a son! And you're marrying Arthur?
Shhh!
No, that's weird! I feel bad!
I had to rip my head off and suffer.
Of course, it was all in my past life, and now it's all gone. But it's still weird! My heart can't stand it! We must stop it at all costs.
I went to see Arthur. There was also an agenda to discuss with Arthur about the Iron Ore Mine.
I opened the door to the Oval Office... Damn it.
Arthur was smiling with a single smile.
I look at work with a very happy face. A man in his 30s who's finally getting married. Very good. Dead. Dead. How nice it would be if I knocked and walked into the Oval Office.
“Sir, I'm here. ”
“Huff!”
Arthur was surprised and embarrassed as if he had been ambushed.
“Carroc, you're here. ”
“The establishment of a very large armory is going well. Goose was willing to accept that. ”
“Excellent. The family has agreed to make an investment, so let me know as soon as you get an estimate for the investment. ”
“Yes, and now we need to send 60,000 Redinas to the writer of Cornwall for the purchase of the Iron Ore Mine. ”
“I did. The money's ready. ”
“I'm ready, too. ”
I pulled out three 10,000 Redina royal bills. I only need to pay 30,000 Redinas for the mine because my family and I have decided to invest half the amount.
Due to the considerable money, Arthur personally decided to send a family article to the writer of Cornwall.
“Buying Iron Ore Mine and setting up a very large armory. After battling the territory, you're running low on money, but your spending keeps growing." ”
Arthur sighed and grumbled.
“The more difficult it is, the more invested it is. The Iron Ore Mine and its superweapon points will synergize with each other and generate enormous profits. ”
“You're right. The munitions business is always profitable. There will be a war reimbursement this fall, so the financial problems will be resolved soon. ”
It may be difficult to finance because there's a lot of money out there right now, but in the fall, there will be 90,000 Redinas in total. Moreover, since it is harvest time, the food is abundant.
I decided to leave the Iron Ore Mine to the Kunt family as I spoke with Arthur more.
In order to operate the mine, you need a general manager, and you need to protect the miners.
He also needed soldiers to carry iron ore.
After I finished talking about work, I brought up the problem of jealousy marriage.
“I've heard tales of grief. ”
That's what Arthur said.
“Haha, did you hear that? It's a good thing. If you are a Houdini writer, you are a rich family, so it will be very beneficial for you in general. ”
That's why it's such a good idea!
“And the bride is young and beautiful. ”
In my words, Arthur flinched like he had been stabbed. You pervert.
“Heh! Cruelty. I don't care about that. ”
Are you sure about that?
“Really?"
I let my emotions out of my mouth.
“Well, of course. ”
Arthur was embarrassed and stuttered, blushing his face.
...... You were a man.
When I saw Arthur dying like that, I couldn't help but wonder how to disagree.
But this is all for Arthur. She shouldn't be the mistress of this territory!
Rest of my mind!
And to the well-being of our family's economy!
After resolving my mind, I opened my mouth carefully.
“Brother, I'm a bit careful to say this... ”
I said it very carefully.
“If you have an opinion, feel free to speak up. ”
“Yes, actually, I don't have a very good reputation for the Houdini birdie Leyra. ”
I briefly explained being Leyra. Arthur was troubled by my words with a serious face.
“Well, you did. ”
“Maybe I should think about it more carefully. You are the rightful owner of our family and have a reputation for excellence, so you will have many better needs. ”
I didn't forget to encourage Arthur not to feel bad.
But Arthur shakes his head.
“There is no better widow family in this situation than the author Houdini. The writer Houdini is politically neutral in the middle of our royal and rural sects. The last smuggling operation brought us closer to the Jehovah. It is also an opportunity to reconsider their political position. ”
Ugh.
“That's true……. ”
“Moreover, it is not right to judge Leira's infancy simply by believing in rumors. You have to decide for yourself. Besides, even if you have those drawbacks, is there anyone who doesn't? She will also be different depending on how I treat her in the future. Don't worry about it. ”
“Ah……. ”
I couldn't say anything because Arthur was so tired of what he said.
Yes, it is.
People are constantly changing depending on their surroundings.
Basically, you're born with a tendency, but depending on who you meet and what environment you live in, people can change.
Maybe I made a judgment call based on my previous life's experience.
Besides, her previous experience of getting sick from her has judged her badly.
The judging got complicated, so I couldn't talk to him anymore.
“I'll be off for the day. ”
“Yes, thank you for your concern. ”
“You're welcome. ”
* * *
I had a dream that night.
Arthur was a little older than now, and he was kindly standing with my ex-wife Leyra.
Arthur told me.
“Caroc! Congratulations. I've finally become a father. ”
“Really? Congratulations, sir! ”
“Hahaha! Here comes my son. ”
Then a little boy hiding behind Arthur popped out his belly button.
He's cute as a kid, but I don't like his eyes and his crooked smile.
How could you forget that face?
It was my son who was the son of a bitch in my past life.
“This is my son. A child who will be the heir to our family. You're an uncle now. Hahaha!”
“Uncle.”
My son stares at me.
“Aah! No! ”
I woke up screaming.
After waking up, I still have to catch my breath for a while.
Damn, it was a dream.
Looking out the window, it was still the middle of the night.
I calmed the beating heart and summoned Wounded.
- Master...... Does it hurt?
Woundee looks at me anxiously, looking at her cute eyes.
Perhaps my confused feelings were conveyed to Wounded as well.
I stroked Wounded's head and asked for it.
“No, I'm fine. I just had a bad dream. Why don't you wash me off? ”
Woundee nodded her head and summoned a wad of water to wash my body.
My whole body was soaked with my pajamas, but soon Wounded absorbed the moisture from my body and clothes.
When my body became very warm, my mischievous mind sank as well.
“Thank you very much. My Woundees are beautiful and kind. ”
Woundee, who was very happy with my compliment, reached out her head to me. I asked you to pet me. Hahaha.
“Phew, we're so cute. It's like a baby. ”
I lifted my head and stroked it, but it was not enough, so I hugged it and kissed it on my head.
Wounded smiled with joy, but when I went back to bed and asked him to sleep, he went back.
Liing on the bed, I closed my eyes, and again I stood in front of my brother, Leyra, and my damn son grew up in a strange combination.
