Price of Management

“A good battle always wins. ”

“That's exactly what I'm saying. ”

“Kuhahaha!”

Duke Rompel laughed as if it were funny.

It looked rough, but I could feel its proficiency to my age. He would do the same thing, and he quickly came out and talked to me and laughed and laughed. It's possible, of course, because I responded.

By the way, how old is this guy?

It's been a while since I heard you were over 100 years old. He's probably 110 by now. I've never met anyone who's outlived me.

We talked and talked and walked into the mansion together.

“Oh! I've seen it from afar, but it's so beautiful to come inside! What a beautiful mansion! ”

“Thank you for the compliment. ”

“I never cared about my house, but this changes my mind a bit! ”

Around the garden, Duke Romfel makes a commotion.

What a fuss.

Unless you're wasting your years, you have every intention of doing something about it.

If you insist that you are harmonious and acting like a freak, but you have just come to me for no reason, I will not believe you.

I've lived long enough to be so careless.

“But what brings you to me? ”

I got lucky.

“Well, well. ”

Duke Rompel and I made eye contact.

As he exchanged his gaze, Duke Romfel chuckled.

“I came to see your face for a reason like that. Did I come to you so suddenly and bother you? ”

“No way. ”

I laughed too.

Later, the butler, Nievel, and his servants huddle together to greet me.

“Welcome, Grand Duke Rompel. Please accept my sincere apologies for the lack of hospitality. ”

Duke Rompel waves his hand at the mercy of Nibel's inspiration.

“Never mind. Never mind. This body is from the military, so it can eat anything. Just a lot of sheep! ”

“I understand.”

Then I whispered something in Nibel's ear.

“Word of mouth.”

“Don't worry. I've already warned my servants not to set foot. ”

Nibble inspiration.

It will be very noisy if word gets out of Duke Rompel's visit. There may even be people who insist on killing Grand Duke Romfel who came on his own feet.

If I were the owner of such a swift and cruel heart, I would have killed Emperor Kars at once. Now you come to see me, Duke Romfeld? Nonsense.

He's not the enemy until he becomes the enemy.

We must be prepared to be enemies, but we must not be hostile.

That's my philosophy.

And the bigger question is, this duke Rompel is not an easy man to kill because he decides he wants to.

I've never seen an unarmed man with so much error!

I am proud to have met the most powerful man on the continent in my own way. Nearby father and brother Rick, Duke Meutton, Duke Briton, Duke Great Gen, Duke Halstein, etc.

They weren't like this either.

Look at that body!

A bowl over two meters is surrounded by strong muscles like steel. I don't think I'll go in with a knife.

If we use error, we might actually be able to generate more power than an Ogre.

Even a brave father cannot easily hear the sound of a fight when he sees this man.

One of the strongest UAVs I've ever seen! The most powerful monster on the continent is right in front of me. It's so overwhelming.

I feel frustrated to think I might be able to fight someone like this in the future. This one man will slaughter the soldiers of our Kingdom of Leaden in a thousand units.

“Huh? You don't look so good. Are you okay?”

The Duke of Rompel suddenly asked me to look at my face. It's not good for you.

I sighed and said,

“I just have one question. ”

“What do you mean? ”

“How strong are you? ”

“How strong is this body? Hmm, let's see. You look old from strength, but this body is made up of two great little kids. ”

Ugh...

I'm more scared because I'm not bluffing.

In the cafeteria, alone with Duke Romfeld began his meal. Usually with the family, but today I decided to do it alone with Duke Romfeld. I don't want my wives to meet this creepy guy.

“Oh, so many! Plus, it's delicious!”

Duke Romfel began to tear down the feast, teasing the knife and fork hard. I thought it might be a mouth-to-mouth meal. The pleasure of drinking soup in one shot.

Then I'll have fun eating before I take all the food.

I made a knife out of clay out of gnome and then cut and ate the food.

Then, whether he was aroused, Duke Romfel wrongfully picked up a rooster. Stop. No way.

Wadduk!

Oh, my god.

Duke Romfel chewed half a chicken in one bite. He sent an error to his teeth and came out in horror as he chewed the chicken bone without cause. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I couldn't impersonate him unless I was an error master.

In the blink of an eye, Duke Romfel slaughters the chicken and smiles joyfully.

“Kuhaha! What do you think? ”

“I've never seen a master make such good use of his authority in real life. ”

“You're the one who uses animosity in all the real life. I've never seen a human as comfortable as you. ”

“Hahaha.”

After all the food on the table was exhausted, Duke Romfeld put down the dishes. It looked like I saw an ogre who had eaten for a year.

After a meal, we had a drink on the terrace, and we talked.

Unlike before, it was a rather quiet conversation.

“Fantastic.”

He admired the taste of a sip of red wine.

“Woundine did her best, but she doesn't taste bad, does she? ”

“Not only the taste of alcohol, but the view of this mansion is beautiful. You're living happily ever after. ”

“Thank you."

“But he's not young. ”

“What? ”

“I don't see the young desire to build up their power, their wealth and their prestige. A mansion that is already complete and has no room for art. ”

Duke Romfel had a sharp corner.

Looking at me, he said,

“You're so weird. It's not even thirty yet, and I feel like my brother. Bright and cheerful, but I don't see any youthful hits or childishness. ”

I couldn't help but get hot.

Certainly my mental age is comparable to that of Duke Rompel. But even so, I'm a young man. In my second life, I never thought I was old.

And yet, Duke Romfel felt it intuitively.

Later, Duke Romfel shrugs.

“Maybe it's a spirit. ”

“Well, I thought I'd live in glamour and luxury enough to build a garden and a sculptural mansion on it. You have a very different view of the Grand Duke. ”

“There was so much going on in this battlefield that this body was born as a humble identity. ”

Speaking of which, Duke Romfel was moved to see if he recalled more than a century of his past.

Tom Romfeld.

He was a soldier from the commoners. All I had was my size and strength, so I walked the soldier's path. Every time I fought in battle, I learned control and practiced martial arts.

Even after becoming a master and gaining a high position and territory, the life of Duke Rompel was unchanged.

He lived his whole life as a soldier, being a bird of age in his mid-teens, so he did not know any other way of life than the way of the soldier.

That's why he's been wandering the battlefield for almost 100 years, studying in big and small fights, and eventually becoming a flying machine.

It is this old man who is in front of me who has endured such a life ordeal.

“I just lived as a soldier without thinking, but as I got older, I saw more and more. Since we have lived for 110 years, we can show people what we can't see. ”

It was Duke Romfel who stared at me with meaningful eyes.

“I see.”

I was just being moderate. I couldn't figure out what he meant by that.
