Chapter 386

Episode 386 Us (5)

Baroness Bjorn Yandel.

There was not even the slightest trembling in the eyes of the Marquis who spoke the name.

Perhaps if Erwen or Amelia had looked at me like this, I would have honestly confessed all my mistakes before getting further scolded.

It was such a confident look.

But…

the Marquis and the two are different.

There would be nothing more naive than trusting the eyes of a politician who has been through all sorts of hardships and has kept the kingdom’s second-in-command position for decades.

“Isn’t the Marquis misunderstanding something?”

He never ruled out the possibility that he was floating and maintained a ignorant attitude.

Of course, the Marquis didn’t even listen.

[It’s very awkward to hear the honorific language. I still have a clear picture of you on the day of the awarding of the title.]

“…Is Erwen the cause of this misunderstanding?”

[I understand your position, so I won’t blame you for lying in front of me. But…]

The Marquis behind the crystal ball lifted his back from the chair and put his elbow on the tabletop.

[Anyway, in order to have a proper conversation, you must first create a situation where you have no choice but to admit it.] A

situation where you have no choice but to admit it?

Are you trying to use number items like verification magic or misplaced trust?

Either that or torture?

While maintaining a poker face, I checked and checked various possibilities in my head, but as a result, all those expectations were wrong.

[I’ll tell you this first.]

What the Marquis chose was ‘conversation’.

[Do not be wary of Baron Yandel. I am one of the few people who know that you are not an evil spirit.]

Yes, they come out hard from the start.

***

When my identity was discovered, what surprised Amelia the most was this, nothing else.

How could I, an evil spirit, receive a title of nobility?

[…Hmm, now that I think about it, the royal family might have known but tolerated it. At that time, you were no different from a hero in the city.]

At that time, Amelia made such a guess, and I accepted it with some degree of credibility.

But…

‘If what the Marquis just said is true, it must mean that he really didn’t know.’

Of course, there is a possibility that the Marquis threw the bait knowingly.

However, for the time being, I decided to listen to the words that followed in silence.

Sometimes the latter has an advantage over the first.

It is not too late to make a decision after hearing everything and then act.

[Lichen Scheuitz and Baron Bjorn Jandel. The similarities that exist between these two explorers will not be discussed separately for the sake of time. Is it okay?]

“Yes, I’ve actually been misunderstood a few times…”

I nodded, and the Marquis explained the reasons why he believed me to be a baronet one by one.

[Once, it was easy to figure out that you weren’t Lichen Schuitz himself. I was able to hear the whole story from the employee who accidentally damaged and destroyed your data.]

What kind of woman came and threatened you?

It was then that the suspicion deepened.

[Of course, I thought it made no sense at first. But do you know what is the most important thing in administrative work? You only see numbers. No matter how logical and convincing the story is, if the numbers don’t match, it’s a false story.]

[That was the case with you.]

Bjorn Yandel died.

The moment the proposition was denied, the Marquis said, all clues began to connect.

[You were too strong to be Baroness Bjorn Yandel. However, given the time and support of two years, it was possible enough.]

[How could he have been hiding from us for that long? This also makes sense if you didn’t stay in this city.]

If not this city, where was it?

It was so obvious.

[Did you have contact with people from Noark when you went missing on Parune Island?]

The timing was too unfortunate to be a coincidence.

Even as a result of the investigation, I reappeared two years later in the now-closed underground fortress.

The fort is known to have a road leading to it outside the walls.

[You appeared after Blood Spirit went there.]

Now that I see it, the article didn’t break down the door of my house and say the charges against me.

At the time, I thought it was just an excuse.

[Now then, would you like to tell me how you feel after hearing my story?]

Soon after, the Marquis looked at me through the crystal ball and grinned.

It was a story that I was sure enough to convince.

Rather, this is much more probable than the two years of time travel.

But…….

‘Uh…….’

After hearing the long story, my impression was only one.

Just looking at cancer, it doesn’t sound like bait, but it sounds like you’re talking with sincere trust.

‘Should I say that this is an excellent imagination or a lack of imagination…’

You can interpret this like this.

***

The time to worry was not long.

I have a habit of always prioritizing when setting goals.

Number one is our survival.

The second priority is to regain the identity of Bjorn Yandel.

The third priority is to get rid of the evil spirit charges.

I headed here and set my priorities like this.

That’s why…….

“Certainly he’s smart because he’s the chancellor.”

He takes off the mask of Lichen Suits and reveals the appearance of a barbarian.

The reason is so simple.

As I said earlier, what is more important than being accused of evil spirits is getting back the name Bjorn Yandel.

It doesn’t matter whether you know me as a demon or a traitor.

This was a problem that could be overcome sufficiently through negotiations with the Marquis.

‘If I was going to kill him as a traitor in the first place, I wouldn’t have called him here.’

“Yes, I am Bjorn Yandel. Long time no see Marquis.”

I felt it again, but there was power in words.

If it wasn’t for that, the moment I threw off my human mask, the confidence that I could overcome everything wouldn’t come out like this.

I guess I’ll live for a while now.

[Haha, good luck. If I had denied it here too, it would have been really annoying.]

I laughed at the Marquis’s bone-laden words.

‘It almost bothered me……’

In fact, this was the reason I revealed my identity at this point. After this, ‘object’ will be used, not ‘conversation’.

When I found out that ‘thing’ didn’t work for me, it was clear to me where the arrow would go.

Erwen Amelia Raven.

It’s only a matter of time before the truth of that absurd misunderstanding will be revealed anyway, if they go into intense investigation.

In that case, I decided that it would be better to admit it coolly and move on to the main topic.

Somehow, deceiving others became my specialty.

[Now then, I guess we’ll get to the main topic now.]

Soon after, the Marquis finished the chat and lowered his voice.

[What is the reason for being attached to Noark, Baron Yandel?]

“Well, is that important?”

[Such uncooperative attitude is not good. Aren’t you a smart friend?]

“There’s no need to say that I joined. I just stayed for a while for my purpose.”

[…]

The Marquis silently looked at my answer with strange eyes.

But the more I did, the more confidently I straightened my shoulders.

Didn’t you say something completely wrong?

Actually, I went back to the past and stayed at Noark.

That too for six months.

He even said he smashed Seongju’s head at the end.

[…doesn’t sound like he’s lying—]

“Fuck.”

[…?]

“I’m sorry. I’m full of air.”

It really wasn’t on purpose.

In fact, it’s because my stomach has been bloated since before.

[You must have been nervous too.]

But maybe it was because of a sudden hiccup that changed the mood a bit?

The Marquis also moved on without asking further.

[Anyway, can I understand that you mean I’m not with them right now?]

“Of course.”

[Even if you say that, I don’t understand it. If you’re not Sejak, what’s the reason for hiding your identity?]

“The royal family first announced that I was an evil spirit. Before clearing my name, I wanted to find out what my intentions were.”

[They said they were wary of us… It could be true.]

Soon after, the marquis nodded slightly, and now it was my turn.

Originally, exchange of questions is the best, isn’t it?

“So, I’m asking you while talking about it. Why did you make such an announcement? If it’s you, Marquis, I’m sure you know the reason.”

[I can’t elaborate on that. Just assume there were political reasons. Besides, we didn’t even know you were alive then.]

After, I was curious about this part the most, but I didn’t hear the most important part.

It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t sorry, but I moved on to the next one without regret.

“Then tell me this soon. What do you want from me? If you really thought I was a traitor, it would have been more correct to assassinate him instead of bringing him like this.”

[The royal family doesn’t handle things that way.]

Damn not that way.

If you only bring the royal palace, all kinds of stinky smells are mixed and your body is full.

“So you mean you don’t want anything from me?”

[Actually, if you said that you were Sejak, I was going to conciliate you and use you in the war.]

Look at this, it comes right out as soon as I say it.

“Then it’s a pity.”

[Well, is there anything to be sad about? I don’t think the current situation is too bad.]

“Isn’t it bad?”

[Because war always needs heroes.]

When do you make an announcement with a demon?

It was absurd to see him say shameless words without changing his expression, but he must have risen to that position because he is such a person.

[Come back to the royal family of Baron Bjorn Yandel.]

“Why do you have to do that?”

[Because you need us.]

“Well, I’m not sure.”

When I bounced one more time, the Marquis revealed his true intentions.

[Whether or not you broke ties with Noark, isn’t it true that you held hands with them? There would be no problem with a summary execution.]

“Simply put, if we hold hands, will you make it happen?”

[Is it just something that didn’t happen? I will help you recover all of your noble titles as well as your original names.]

“What about the announcement that you are a demon?”

[If there’s a proper story, I’ll understand.]

Apparently, the Marquis seems to have already drawn a picture in his head of how to implement it…

[Didn’t he say that he stayed in Noark for a while for a purpose? If it’s something you’re emotionally reluctant to do, think of it as a deal.]

I felt a little weird.

No, should I say it’s embarrassing?

I came here with the feeling of going into the tiger’s den after assuming the worst.

‘Can things go smoothly this far…?’

My heart beats fast and I feel anxious because things are progressing in my favor.

But…

[If you’ve made the decision to become a baronet, will you answer soon?]

The options you could choose right away were limited.

Even if the marquis and the royal family were playing some insidious tricks together, what else could they do here?

I’ll accept it here and figure it out on my own later.

“Okay. So talk about the details. How do I get my title back and what seaʀᴄh thё NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

do I expect in return?” I immediately agreed to accept it, and the Marquis nodded in satisfaction.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to say something.

Quaaaaaa!

A huge vibration from the garden area. It bloomed.

I wondered what kind of commotion this was, but soon I heard the cause through the mouth of the Marquis .

[ It seems that she

came like that.

Let her continue later, and you should calm her down before it gets any more noisy.]

“…That’s right.”

That’s how the conversation for the day ended.
