308th episode
The article that went inside for the report did not hear from him even after waiting ten minutes.
"...weird?"
I didn't want to be treated, but Jaeho, who is a VIP.
But it didn't make sense to let them go this far.
If you can't do it, if you don't have it, if you say something, you can't do anything, but waiting like this was not your cup of tea.
However, no matter how much I looked at it, I could not feel anyone coming from inside.
The only sign of popularity is a knight who is breathing with a faint heart right in front of him.
"Why don't you go in and see? You're here to fight anyway."
"What are you talking about? We're here to talk."
Sneakly.
Jae-ho, who gave Tina a pint, stepped into the mansion in search of a dialogue partner.
There was no human being in sight while walking along the stone road to the mansion.
What kind of ambition is it to keep guard at the entrance when it's a permanent residence?
At this rate, it seemed that the assassins could get in and out like their own.
"There it is... this way......move fast...….”
a din that began to be heard little by little as it neared the mansion
The source of the sound was inside the mansion.
Beyond the window, the users were seen busily running around, and the knights were carrying large boxes.
"What are you doing? Can you hear what you're talking about?"
Jaeho asked, expecting Tina's hearing.
They're selective, high-audience elf ears, but if they're faint enough to hear themselves, it's possible.
"Yes. They're running away with their stuff.”
"Huh? Run away?"
Why are you running away when you're just trying to talk?
"Stop!"
Bang!
Jae-ho smashed through the tightly closed door with all his strength.
It's a mess!
And Tina appeared coolly, hitting the window right next to her with her whole body.
"Why do you have to...….”
Jae-ho, who was speechless for a while, was surprised and stunned by the people in the building.
"Ahhhhhh!"
It was someone's husky scream that broke the awkward silence.
cudang tang
a fat man who falls to his hips and steps backward
Looking at Jae-ho's colorful outfits, he could see that the owner of the land was made by Deepard himself.
"Diffard himself! I am Alsia!"
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhh..."
Without saying, he recognized Jae-ho.
The scary face I've only heard of is beyond description.
It felt like it was less than the rumor.
Moreover, it was largely due to Jae-ho's title that caused him to fall on his hips.
Your noble families are afraid of you.
A nobleman of his own degree could hardly bear the title of Jae-ho.
The name value of 'Alsia' that can be put on a horse only when it is at least count.
"Calm down. I just wanted to talk to you.”
"The way you talk depends on what you do!"
Tina scared him by adding an additional explanation.
"Ma, speak! Please don't kill me.….”
Defarge replied without even looking at Jae-ho.
"Why did you try to run away when you told me I was here?"
“…….”
"Isn't it because there's something up there?"
For example, if you leave a mansion and then blow it up.
"Heeeeks?! All of them, not worth it! Oh, how could a nobleman like me do such a terrible thing!"
"Really?"
However, it was never easy for him to overcome the situation.
[The other is telling the truth.]
Fortunately, the blindfold informed him that his words were true.
'The grade is low enough to check the blindfold.’
Sadly, what Deepard himself described as shabby was not just an embarrassing statement to escape the crisis, but a fact.
"Well, it's just... I'm afraid the great king will get angry and angry...….”
"Am I angry?"
I'm saying that I'm uncomfortable with something after all.
"And the protesters, too, were you?”
"Mu, what do you mean?!”
[The opponent is lying.]
"That's right."
"That... that..."
As he rolled his eyes around and looked at the articles around him, he felt like an armed situation would happen.
"Calm down. I've already told you, but I'm here to talk. And maybe I can help you.”
"...Yes?"
"Well, is it okay to talk about this in the presence of others?"
At Jae-ho's words, he said, "Ah!" and then the self-critic stood up.
"Da, everybody's done it! The Great King, come here...….”
It was fortunate that he seemed to be quick-witted, though.
On the other hand, I was saddened by the fact that I was a handful of powerful people who had no choice but to be conscious of the situation.….
* * *
Guide Jae-ho to the drawing room, he rubbed his hands with a nervous look.
"I... can you give me any help... No, I don't know if you're trying to talk...….”
Deepard's self-criticism that managed to stop him from coming out of his mind.
"I've heard the Lassel Kingdom is a little noisy these days, but this side is particularly troublesome."
"That's..."
"I know that the Diffords and the Actives belong to the Rassel royal opposition, but they are ambiguous in favor of the development of the Liphen River, right?"
"Hey, that's right! As you can see around us, we're fighting every day in such a bad environment."
“……?”
I can see all kinds of fancy interiors around me.
"Uh... not around me, but around the territory...….”
"Oh, yes. It seemed so."
Jae-ho nodded.
"But... a powerless family like us has no choice but to look around. The Great King said I was on the other side, but... But reality doesn't have the power to reject it. You have no choice but to follow."
Defarge said with a look of resentment and madness.
"Everything around the territory is against the royal family, so we have no choice but to survive."
The system informed him that there was no falsehood in his words.
"You don't get along with the Axic Bitch, do you?”
"What? Why do you want to talk about those beggars...….”
"For my part, I have no choice but to care about both territories. Because it's along the Liphen River."
"Oh... I see. Hm! Those bad guys have nothing but their pride is so strong. He's been acting like he's going to give up everything to the opposition, and he's getting greedy when he hears about the development of the Liphen River.”
"Is the recent fight related to that?"
"That's right. We've had a lot of disputes over ownership of the River, but now we're determined and claiming it to be theirs."
Jae-ho's situation has been outlined.
In the end, as Taylor said, they were the outsiders of the outsiders and had no choice but to be wary of other aristocrats in the kingdom.
That's why they were forced to use the tools of the opposition to check the development of the Elysia plant.
"Then did the protesters in the desert certainly come from this territory?"
"...yes. Ha, but they moved together not only with us, but with the Ecstick!"
It was amazing that protesters managed to organize together as they fought back and forth whenever they had time.
"And again, are you the ones who thought of setting up the demonstrators? Or, of course, the opinion of the opposition?"
"Da, of course I was pushed! I don't even know what it means in the first place. What's the point of letting the common people hold a stick?….”
It's clear now.
The nobles of this world do not know nor understand the concept of protest itself.
"Do you know who came up with this idea?"
"I'm not sure about that. I was told to do that.….”
"Hmm......."
I seemed to have got almost all the information I could get from him.
It is impossible to share the information properly with Deepard himself, who has been neglected even within the opposition.’
Now the rest of the work is done neatly here so as not to cause any trouble.
"I've got something for sure. Self-created by Deepard."
"Ma, say it!"
"Are you sure you want to develop the Liphen River?"
"Isn't it obvious?! There will be a direct route that connects with Elysia flower garden, so I want it no matter what! Most of the nobles in the kingdom of Rasel do not even know their existence. I would do anything if I could leap higher!"
He would have welcomed Jae-ho's visit with open arms if only the pressure of the opposition was resolved.
"Then what will you do with Exit's relationship?"
"...yeah?"
He faltered at an unexpected question.
"I'm thinking of having a conversation with you, but is that okay with you?”
"Wow, that's okay....... How can I be upset about the king's decision?”
[The other guy's lying...….]
He seemed to hate it, but he couldn't help it.
Both aristocrats along the river were important contacts for Jae-ho.
After that, Jae-ho, who left the Dispatch Order of Depad, immediately headed to Exit Jajakryeong.
And exactly the same thing happened, so Jae-ho and Tina stormed in again splendidly.
"Did you believe that beggar-pad guy?"
At a separate meeting, Exit Jajok raised his voice.
"Look where you are! The goddamn guy's got a mountain around him, and he's got animals to eat! But we're just a desert away! What the hell can you do in that goddamn desert?!
He must have been very excited and forgot that Jae-ho is living in the desert.
"The one who ran when his grandchildren fell and his knees were cut off, he was the one who ran! But I can't believe you said that to us!"
They argued that their opponents were the servants of the opposition, but the funny thing was that neither Defade nor Exit were telling the truth thoroughly.
In other words, both of them have been tributes to the surrounding high-ranking aristocrats.
Anyway, both aristocrats found that they did not want to belong to the opposition.
"Then..."
Special measures were needed.
* * *
The two handwriters we met on a boat in the middle of the river.
They were never people to face each other, but there was no way because Jae-ho pushed for them.
"To get out of the opposition of the Rassel Kingdom, two men must hold hands."
Jae-ho spoke bluntly.
"If you don't, you'll end up suffering continuously from the opposition aristocracy."
Of course, that won't give you strength right away.
At least the path to the Elysia Gardens will be clear for them to breathe.
But until then, there was no answer as long as we kept fighting with each other.
If we continue to compete, there will be fights to increase our position within the opposition, and there will be more and more activities that will hinder Jae-ho.
"That's why we need a strategic alliance.”
But the two still look sullen.
No matter how threatened they are, it was natural that it would be difficult to hold hands overnight.
"What the hell is going on with you?”
"...it was a long time ago.
Deepard himself opened his mouth first.
"Our family was originally a count, but... The Exits have caused the house to crash."
"Laughing! Why is it our fault!"
"Because you kidnapped your great-great-grandfather, who was your great-great-grandfather!”
"What? Kidnapped?! You've kidnapped my lord! Our land, which was about to leap high, was ended because of you!"
A battle between two aristocratic families that has festered over a long period of time.
Now that we've come to a generation that has nothing to do with it, we're fighting like this, and when it comes to history...….
"Wait a minute."
Suddenly, however, Jae-ho, who realized something strange in their story, stepped in.
"This is the great-great-grandfather, and that's the great-great-great-grandfather...…?”
"Laughing...! The great-great-great-grandfather who was the housekeeper at the time was seduced by them...….”
"Damn it! My lord has been kidnapped...….”
Both families had their owners kidnapped?
And they're pointing fingers at each other for being behind the incident?
"Did the two families have a good relationship in the past?”
"I heard so. But it's a long time ago, so I honestly don't know."
"I've heard that you have met that beggar-pad's owner and, like this now, met in the middle of the River Liphen often to drink with him."
"But one day, the two of you who were drinking suddenly disappeared. You left a letter, but... I can't believe it.….”
"There were so many dog noises that my great-grandfather burned them down as soon as he saw them.
Jae-ho looked at the two alternately with a look of doubt.
I don't talk, but... Perhaps a progressive love affair, which would never be tolerated in this New World world view, has arisen here.
