88 Aunt Helen's different.

Me and old Cloud arrive at Castle Portal Tower in succession. I looked at the landscape from the lookout tower at the top of the tower. In the middle of crowds of drum houses to block the wind, you can see the car's mansion from afar.

Once a royal palace, 70 years after the country was lost, the majority was demolished and it was a typical mansion with only a few sub-buildings left.

‘It's still chubby. ’

Karl has been poor since the time of the Kingdom. It was because the grain harvest dropped significantly because of the cold, barren northern areas, and commerce did not improve much since it was located in remote areas within the continent. Fortunately, a lot of wealth was introduced when building the Metheria maturity, but since it was completed a long time ago, it is now losing its growth power and slowly declining.

was in progress.

That's why all humankind is crowded. Once you draw the sword, you fight to the death.

Grandpa came up behind me.

“Careful, these humans are a bit harsh. I suffered a lot when I was on the expedition. ”

“Don't worry. I'm familiar with the rumors. ”

“How?”

“Duke of Duck. I hear you're pretty grumpy. ”

Grandpa Cloud tasted it.

“Jan? What a waste of talent. But there's no strange side to it. ”

“What?”

“He's just like that when I saw him. But I don't know how I became a master at that age. ”

“Well, at least you didn't see it. ”

I turned around and went down the tower. There are many welcomers beneath the tower now. They were all waiting with their throats cut out, but I thought I'd go down and say hello.

As you leave the Battery Tower, the guests recognize you and look at you at once. It was so weird to dress up. I grabbed a golden shoe and approached a woman.

Helen's aunt. She said she was in charge of managing the territory on behalf of Josef at the Imperial Noble School shortly after she found out I was dead.

“Grand Duchess Ma'am. It's an honor to meet you. ”

Helen welcomed me with a bright face.

“Mr. White, welcome. I'm honored, too.”

“But I don't know if I made you wait too long. ”

“Absolutely not. We've just arrived. ”

“Well, that's a relief. ”

After a polite conversation between the two, the muppets in the territory looked relieved to see the car following them. In fact, I'm famous for being unstoppable.

Aunt Helen looks at old Cloud behind me.

“And who might that be? ”

“This is my acolyte. Old age laziness is inevitable. Hey, Rad, pick up. ”

and I threw the burden on his shoulder to Grandpa Cloud. As Old Cloud's eyes gradually narrowed, I blew my gaze with ridicule. It was a thorny look.

Aunt Helen led me outside the front door to the wagon.

“But I've heard that you are close to the forces of darkness, is that true? ”

I shrugged.

In fact, there was no such thing at all. He was from the realm of Caligo, the forces of darkness, and Armida was an absolute servant of faith to the forces of darkness.

In addition, Padilla stopped by the Shrine during the Dark Party's watch and became the Holy Lady of Water. She is also friendly with the Orcs, Zen Bee Azaz.

“It was originally a medium-sized force, but the people of the Light were a bit strict, so they became friends with roughly the people of the Dark. ”

“Oh, yeah. But people who believe in the doctrine of light are arrogant. ”

I looked at Lady Helen. I don't know what's wrong with her all of a sudden. Although she secretly believes in the faith of darkness, she must believe in the faith of light externally anyway.

We must not blaspheme the doctrine of light in public in this gathering.

‘Then I don't see any cooperatives. ’

Karl's territory is divided into three factions:

One was a cooperative group that befriended the Yosrahim Empire, the more autonomous there was, the more autonomous there was, and finally, the hardened Independents. However, there are very few cooperatives present. Often one or two were noticeable, but they were distorted in the corner.

Cancer alone has made the cooperative group seem to have been pruned for the past year.

‘This woman, really. Independence must look to the situation. You wait a few years, and they come right out, and you can't even look at them. ’

Still, we must not be independent after a few years. The joy of independence will soon come, the age of destruction. If they had established a hostile relationship with the Yosrahim Empire now independent, there would be nowhere to flee, and they could all be killed on their homeland.

“When is the Grand Duke coming, by the way? I've seen you before, but I just wanted to say hello. ”

At that moment, Helen's eyes became dim.

It feels significantly different from before. When I heard that my father was coming to the land, the man who was brightened from the color of his face was now showing a completely different face.

“You said you would come with the Great Lady Yingyang. ”

“Oh, I see. ”

When I arrived in front of the wagon, I saw a middle-aged man with a rich beard. The target of this quest is Birch Brian.

As soon as he saw me, he bent to his waist and welcomed me.

“I'm Birch Brian. It is an honor to see the Holy Father who saved Kara's kingdom. I was eager to hear the rumors and see you. ”

“What.”

I rode on an empty horse with no strings attached. Helen asked me to get in the wagon with her, but politely refused. When I get to know my aunt well, my mother in the basement gets upset.

As the procession makes its way to the mansion, Birch Brian grabs onto me.

“I've heard great things about your victory last winter. It was truly astonishing to defeat a vast army of Bastein kings. I would love some advice, but would you be okay with that? ”

“What advice? ”

“First of all, what was the winning factor? ”

“First, the king was incompetent. ”

“The late King Robos? So there's a rumor that King Robos is working with Mr. Whitface, is that correct? ”

“Yes.”

I have distorted the truth. There was nothing in it for me to tell you that I destroyed the Kingdom of Robos with a joke. The destruction of the Kingdom of Robos had to be self-sustaining, so that King Bastein could rule it entirely.

“And then?”

“The Kingdom of Robos was at war without punishment. Why crawl into such a vast desert when you can mobilize an army? I don't know if you know this, but Kara's territory is equal to that of the entire Prosia continent. It's difficult to supply and there are many conquests to defend, making it easy to authorize a bypass sneak attack. So I can arrive at Fort Polkin without any resistance.

There was, and the war was over. ”

“Hmm, I see. But I heard that Orc Meadows are also incredibly spacious. ”

Baron wanted to talk about the war between Yosrahim and the Orcs that was coming. In fact, Orc Meadows are very spacious. The combined size of the entire Great Desert and the continent of Prosia equals the size of an uninhabitable land of ice. Anyway, it's huge.

“Why is that? ”

“There seems to be a war between the Yosrahim Empire and the Orcs soon. How do you see the war? ”

I glanced closely at the cloudy duchess walking behind me. And as sure as I was, I answered a lie.

“100%, the Yosrahim Empire is defeated. It's 100 times stupider for a human army to enter the Orc Meadow than it is for the Robros Kingdom to enter the Great Desert. ”

“Why? ”

“It's so cold. It's cold here, too. How cold can Orc Meadow be? In fact, Orcs don't need to fight. If you work hard and use Cheongya tactics, Yosrahim will freeze to death without even seeing Orc nostrils. ”

“I see. I think the same thing. ”

Birch Bryan smiles brightly. Perhaps the masquerade was the key to gaining independence using the next year's war between the Yosrahim Empire and the Orcs.

It was definitely a feasible plan Even if the Yosrahim Empire is wiped out in a 1 million mobilized wars, its power will be greatly diminished. At this time, if we join hands with other Independents and mutually uproot them, we could easily gain independence.

The only problem was that the Yosrahim Empire was victorious.

These Orcs are tactical when the opponent attacks, and they rush at you for nothing. If you use Cheongya Tactics, you'll win easily. I don't know why you're such a pervert.

Shortly after, I arrived at the villa. It was my place to stay.

“This house is reserved for Mr. White. Rest well while you stay in our territory. ”

Aunt Helen told me to hold my head back.

“Yes, thank you. ”

“Let's take a break, then, and I'll see you at the banquet tonight. ”

“Very well. I'll see you at dinner, then. ”

“Yes.”

A procession of Birch Brian and Aunt Helen departs. A few escort knights who were on standby immediately took me inside the annex.

I glanced at one of the knights. That article was a Roland.

‘Roland has been assigned to the annex where I live? ’

Roland was supposed to help me defeat Birch Brian on this quest. Then he was at the mansion where I was staying. It looks like the client is fully prepared.

“You can stay in this room. ”

“Got it. Back off. I'll call you if I need you.”

“Yes.”

As Roland and the knights retreated, I entered the room. It is not glamorous, but it is a room with a royal style. The carpet is covered in shaveltiger fur, and the wallpaper is covered in mild yellow.

Grandpa Cloud, who followed you in, frowns.

“You didn't see it that way. It's a bluff. ”

“What else? ”

“Spirits, do you think our Yosrahim Empire will be defeated by the Orcs of Grolmog?" ”

“Yes.”

Grandpa Cloud shakes his hands firmly.

“That's because you don't know Orcs. ”

“I'd know better than an Orc. ”

“You know that. Why would you say that? ”

“The Yosrahim army will be defeated for sure. ”

“Why?”

I made an expressionless face.

“If one of you has to die, it's better for Grandpa to die. ”

The Duke of Cloud narrows his eyes.

“What do you mean? ”

I lay on the bed with my clothes on and shoes on.

“Grandpa, don't stop looking at the troll. I know what Grandpa's trying to kill Gromlog for, but killing him doesn't mean anything. ”

“Why?”

“Maybe someone to replace Grolmog will show up. ”

“Who?”

“Anyway, I feel that way. ”

“Are you referring to Zenbe, the saint who is with you? Then it's meaningless. No matter how much he climbs to the Mind Master, there are Ilpane Cydes. ”

I looked at old man Ziggy Cloud.

“Where's Grandpa going? Why is Ilpane Cydes coming? Is it time for you to leave? ”

Old Cloud's eyes widen. If word gets out that Grandpa is dying, there will be a big adverse effect on the war ahead.

“You bastard!”

“Otherwise, why are you so nervous? ”

A long sigh sat on a chair nearby.

“Never mind. Let's talk about something else. ”

“What?"

“You. What do you think is happening here in Cars' territory? ”

“Who cares? All I have to do is take down Birch. What do you think of Grandpa? ”

“You'll probably die a lot. ”

I looked at the jealous old man.

“Why?”

“Otherwise, they'll all die. ”

“In Grandpa's hands? ”

“Of course. Especially not as much as Helen High Bitch and Birch Brian." It's too dangerous for the Empire or the Karl for the territory. ”

I laughed bloody.

“But I'm not going to kill you as much as Mrs. Helen. ”

“Why?”

“I have a favor to ask of you. ”

“Did you get another assignment? ”

“Yeah, something like that. ”

“Who the hell is this client? ”

“You don't need to know. He's already dead.”

Old Cloud blinks.

“If you're dead, you don't have to carry out the quest. ”

“No. The client is very strict. Well, not as much as Grandpa. ”

Grandpa Cloud looked at me like it was fun.

“You take orders from the dead, too? Your excitement is well credited. ”

“Yes. Our excitement is the best when we give credit. ”

“Then may I ask you for a quest? ”

“What quest? ”

“Save me if the Yosrahim Empire stands at the crossroads of destruction." ”

I immediately waved my hand.

“No. That's a request you can't accept even if you give me 10 million dollars. ”

“Why?”

“It's out of my hands. ”

“What's wrong with that? ”

“We have to kill Grandpa first and then start. Obviously, it's too much for me. ”

Old Cloud's eyes are wide open.

“Do you think I will lead the Yosrahim Empire to destruction? ”

“I'm accelerating. ”

“Why?”

“I don't know. There's got to be some way to explain it. Just watch from the sky. It's gonna be awesome. ”

I immediately turned off my nerves and closed my eyes.

I don't know how to fix this, by the way. It seemed to me that there had been a big change in Cars territory over the past year, but it was ridiculous why it was so twisted.

When I saw Helen earlier, I could see the grudge against her father in her face.

I don't know why.

Aunt Helen would have been willing to work as a proxy for the territory, and her father would have argued a lot because he didn't want to do it. Meanwhile, Aunt Helen would have had a lot of grudges against her father, and then she would have gone over the advice of destroying Brian's homeland.

By the way, how can the people who used to practice such abstinence turn away from power? You never know.

‘Huff. My dad's nice, too. If you do what you did to me, Helen's gonna be pissed. ’

If there is only one thing that concerns me, it is my father's intention. My father would know about this, and he would be prepared for something. And a lot of people will die in between.

But I don't know how far my father has gone to write a suicide note.

You're so deep, you know you have to kill Birkhoff for the territory, but I can't be sure that the murderer doesn't have a name for Helen.

If my father wants to kill Helen, I don't know what to do.

I quickly opened my eyes and looked at Old Cloud.

“Grandpa.”

“Why, you? ”

“There's a will he used to say to his children, and there's another will he left just before he died. But the two of them are completely opposed. What kind of will do you have to listen to? ”

Old Cloud's eyes are wide open.

“Kid, are you trying to get me killed? ”

“Not the old man, there's someone else. ”

Grandpa Cloud pauses in his jaw and replies.

“Well, that's his decision, isn't it? Dead fathers don't have a choice. ”

“Who doesn't know? It's a tough decision. ”

“So you have to decide for yourself, and not for anyone else. I don't know what difficulties he has left. ”

“I don't. I do. ”

Eventually, I felt like I had to do whatever I wanted to do.

I don't know why I have to make these complicated choices by being reincarnated into my past life. Anyway, the God who gave me my life, I'll blow the cage when I see him.
