Chapter 6, Episode 19 [Enemy Enemy Is...] One of

At the end of the dinner party, the invited guests enter their carriage next, leaving behind the Count Salzberg residence.

Liang Zhen, who watched the condition through the office window set at the corner of the second floor of the mansion, turned his gaze backwards when he laughed satisfactorily.

It's a dim room.

Speaking of lights, is it about the moonlight that plugs in through the candlestick lights and windows placed on the desk?

"I can't believe this is the end of Act One."

"Yes, everything is exactly as we thought it would be... they will choose their thoughts. I think it is a very good way to apply pressure to entertain with products that are not available to them in the end. Especially the performances I made when serving that fish dish were a sight to behold. When they show you, many of the nobles will understand whether or not Liang Zhen has the financial resources."

To that inquiry, Laura nodded small as she waited in the corner of the room.

"Well. Direct intimidation can be counterproductive for some opponents. Because that's obvious if you look at General Ahreberg's stupid end..."

The woman, who ascended to the general of a country by her own effort and talent, lost her husband and beloved daughter in the worst possible way by a malicious fornication plot.

And as a result, her heart transformed from a noble military god to a vengeful demon.

So much so that we can't help but put General Arleberg and his family at the mercy of his culprits.

The advantages and disadvantages of the act of direct intimidation.

Because we know it, we put pressure on the nobles by imitating the performance that Charles Maurice de Taleran, a Napoleonic gastronomer and spicy diplomat, supposedly performed, saying that he once dropped the fish dishes he had picked up with more money than far away.

(Targeting a family is not such a bad hand if you look out for reason, humanity, the way you feel when you are exposed to your surroundings, etc... but it is also a dramatic drug that, if used incorrectly, can exhaust your life to the family)

That's Liang Zhen's true and untrue heart.

Nevertheless, this is an untold story against Elena, who actually lost her family.

That's why you can't put a crack between Ryo Trun and Elena with inadvertent remarks.

That said, targeting a disturbing human family can never be a bad choice.

No, you might even say it's the best as a deterrent because it's unreasonable to ignore morality and everything.

At least, Ryo Jan does not deny the validity of the threats.

It would be a used development for a movie or comic book villain to hold the main character's family and lover hostage.

But being used up is never a bad thing.

Because it is an effective means, which can also be described as an exhausted means.

Of course, I can't say I like it and want to choose it, but if I decide it's necessary, Ryo won't hesitate.

(However, it doesn't make sense if any effective means can't be used appropriately)

In that sense, the actions of a man now named the late Hodrum Ahleberg would run out of crude words.

Indeed, it is not so bad as an eye-catcher to slaughter Elena's husband, expose her neck, and press her to kidnap her daughter and pull herself out of the rank of general.

The fact that the kidnapped daughter was sold off to a slave trader, and the fact that the slave trader drove Elena's daughter to her death without remnants, is not a problem now, regardless of the good or evil of the matter.

(At that time, it is certain that there was no other way for Hodrum Ahleberg to take up the position of general of Roselia. actors are too different in Mr. Elena and that guy)

The problem should be in terms of what General Arleberg wanted and wanted and what appropriate action he took to get it.

"Is it in that Liang Zhen severs General Arleberg as foolish... keeping Master Elena alive?

"Well, if I say it in the end..."

Liang Zhen never considered General Arleberg a preferred person.

No, I even think you're a good kind of person to say out of the question if you put it in a nutshell.

Except that's just the part about his humanity.

If it were pure ability alone, Elena and Hodrum wouldn't make that big a difference.

After driving Elena to retirement, she has been working safely for more than a decade as a general in charge of the military of a single country.

I'm sure the ugliness he showed in earlier civil unrest and his dissatisfaction with authoritarianism over the years are significantly underrated by a man named Hodrum Ahleberg around him, but it's hard to conclude that he was incompetent alone.

Nevertheless, it is a different story from being able to work without being overwhelmed and being the right person for that position.

From that point of view, it is certain that General Arleberg was not an instrumental amount to stand on people, no matter what he saw, and that's what he saw around him.

Besides, Elena and Earleberg are not that old apart.

At a time when Elena puts retirement in perspective, Hodrum will have to consider retirement as well.

It would be quite impossible for Arleberg to take over the general position as a cauldron.

In that sense, it is never too bad to cut off from the formal means and try to eliminate Elena as a means to do so.

Yet Arleberg mistook the last claw, whilst being a greedy flourish until he himself was ready to get his hands dirty, even if not directly.

"At least if you killed your husband and daughter, then look at the timing and Mr. Elena should end it too"

The biggest problem Ryo Trun feels.

That leaves a source of resentment.

If you're forcing your family to retire to a story, you don't actually need to attack your family.

What makes blackmail effective is anxiety about the possibility of a future in which you might be harmed and deprived of something important.

Conversely, if you are actually hurt and deprived of something important, all that remains after is anger and hatred.

Killing my husband in the sense of giving credibility may be effective, but surely I buy Elena's grudge.

Pretty high risk.

Besides, all I would say is the worst bad hand at kidnapping my daughter and not returning her under Elena.

Not to mention it's self-evident that Hodlum Ahleberg would be the most powerful suspect, even if there was no evidence given the relationship at the time.

Then, at some point, I could have predicted a future in which I would strip myself of my fangs.

(In fact, the whole story came out of the mouth of one of the executioners, the slave trader...)

"You think General Arleberg didn't understand that?

To Laura's inquiry, Liang Zhen slowly shakes her neck to the side.

"Well, now I can only speculate from the results, but that one has a strong side of jealousy and resentment towards Elena, who is from the civilian class but who became a general of Roselia. I don't think you killed Elena, but rather than being afraid of her reputation and her popularity, you were happy to see her lose her family and get beaten up."

Regardless, it would certainly be risky to physically eliminate Elena.

But rather than fearing that risk one way or another, Earleberg's sticky dark hatred of killing haters for free is hidden.

However, given the nature of the means of intimidation, it is just the pinnacle of stupidity.

"Well, in that sense, it's just not the same prerequisite as talking about Arleberg... but it's the fact that we need to be careful how we go about talking about them being powerful and prized people like this one... considering that tonight's dinner party is not a good idea"

There is no way you can be dissatisfied with the fact that you received more favors than you could have imagined at the Baron Goshiba's dinner party, which you despised with the ascendants.

(So far so good... later...)

Sure enough, the dinner party ended well.

But today is not the end of the day.

"Well, I'm here late at night... because I'm sorry to keep you waiting any longer... Laura, call Viscount Gerhardt"

Laura nodded small at the words, leaving the room behind.

From between the clouds, the moon faces, and a blue and white light plunges into the room from the window.

That was as if pointing the way against Ryo Trun.
