Dmitry's Nerd (3)

It was a month ago that Lawrence and Dmitry both talked about getting married.

Flora's father.

Viscount Lawrence put Flora in front of her and said with a troubled face.

"Daughter. I don't think it's necessary to explain how bad Yeong-ji's situation is right now for our wise daughter. We need strength now. It could be financial power, and it would be even better if it was force. What is certain is that in order to receive a reward sufficient to solve the difficulties, the Lawrence family's treasure, you, must be offered as a target for arranged marriage. I am so sorry. Because of this ugly father, he made me make this choice."

that day.

Flora's world collapsed.

Most aristocratic young girls get married as if they were sold as arranged marriages, but Flora still had her own values. Forging a lifelong bond with the person you truly love. Even if the opponent was not a prince on a white horse, he believed that conditional problems could be overcome if there was love between them.

But Dmitry!

This was a lightning bolt.

'Twenty years ago, the Dmitry family was an ordinary commoner's family. No matter how much I wish for a prince on a white horse, I have to make a lifelong bond with Dmitry, who is infested with workers in the mines.'

It is said that the conditional issue is not very important, but it was acceptable when the premise was that the other person was a person who truly loved him.

Either way, it's not Dmitry. I didn't want to dedicate the dream of marriage, which I always had as my own romance, to Dmitry's miner like this.

The problem wasn't just that.

At first, he tried to marry Dmitry's second son, who had a promising future, but at some point the subject of marriage changed to Dmitry's eldest son.

I've heard rumors about him. What a lousy person he was, and even Lawrence knew that Roman Dmitry was called Dmitry's nerd.

'I really hate it.'

It was terrible.

Dmitry's nerd.

The protagonist of the rumor that he is confined to the territories of the outskirts and immersed in enjoyment without even dreaming of entering the capital until his mid-twenties because he lacks talent in both martial arts.

Heard at a noble party a while ago that even the appearance was not good.

In Flora's romance, there wasn't even the slightest fit.

So I was worried.

Flora has been living a good life as a wise daughter, but there was an area she couldn't give up on either.

'This is not real.'

Youngji's situation?

I know it well.

But even so, he didn't want to be sold to Dmitry's nerd.

As her father thought, she was not a wise and devoted daughter, and she decided to leave the situation after the breakup to heaven.

The purpose of visiting Dmitry is to meet and spend time with the target of an arranged marriage in advance externally before marriage, but the actual purpose is to notify the general breakup of the marriage.

That's how I met Roman Dmitry.

And I was sure.

'As the rumors say, he's a poor guy.'

mid 170's tall.

He had dark hair and had a sharp and masculine look, but his charisma was eroded due to poor skin.

Above all else, there was a strong scent of perfume from Roman.

Nobles originally liked to use perfume, but Roman used too much.

Flora, unaware of the fact that it was Roman's consideration to get rid of the smell of blood, thought that Roman, who lived in pleasure as rumored, had been buried with the smell of a woman.

The more we met, the more certain it became.

Flora said in a firm voice.

"I wish our marriage would have never happened."

Your opponent will probably object.

As a person who actively argued for arranged marriage against his beauty, it would take considerable effort to convince him.

Flora clenched her small fist.

No matter how her partner reacted, she was sure to end this marriage.

By the way.

"Yes, we do."

Roman's answer.

At the unexpected reaction, Flora's eyes widened.

" Are you really going to break up with me?"

Flora's voice trembled slightly.

I tried to manage my expression, but the awkward expression on the whole showed a look of embarrassment.

"I am human too, so I am well aware of what people are saying about this marriage. You are called Lawrence's flower and every man's desired marriage partner, but I, who is called Dmitry's nerd, is too short to embrace you. So I had a lot of thoughts. I thought every night whether this marriage was the right thing to do, but in fact, it had already happened, so there was no way I could stop the marriage with my own opinion. But not now. Now that I know your thoughts, I must make a decision."

Roman was quiet.

In fact, from the moment he heard the word breakup, Roman thought that things were going according to his intentions.

Flora Lawrence.

She was a beautiful woman, as rumored.

However, for Roman, the criterion for judging a woman is not limited to just one appearance.

When I was living as Baek Jung-hyeok, the number of women who would devote their whole body and mind to him was large enough to reach the Great Sea.

The background of Moorim's apex and his handsome appearance. And with Baek Jung-hyeok's humane attitude toward people, women tried to win Baek Jung-hyuk by any means and methods.

Of course, there were also conspiracies from hostile forces in the process.

Baek Joong-hyuk, who had to think a lot when meeting people, naturally put the value of his appearance in the background.

pretty.

However, that is all.

Roman is now in the midst of designing a new life, and he has no intention of carrying the burden of Flora Lawrence.

Flora said.

"Are you really serious?"

"Why would I tell a lie?"

"But isn't this marriage accomplished by your insistence? Originally, I was in a situation where I was getting married with the second son of the Dmitry family, and I heard that you wanted me so strongly that the situation became what it is now. Still, you're going to accept the divorce without any conditions? It doesn't make sense to me."

eating.

Roman laughed.

She was truly a strange woman.

Until recently, he asked about breaking the marriage with the momentum to somehow persuade him, and when he accepted it willingly, he rather bit the tail.

"So you want to marry me?"

" That's not it."

"Then let's not make things that make each other tiring for nothing. I respect your opinion, and I plan to break up the marriage because we both agreed. And I will take full responsibility for the breakup. I'm called Dmitry's nerd anyway, even if I add the title of a broken man, there won't be any big problems, but isn't it different from Lawrence's flower with a bright future? Like the rumors floating around, let's assume that my female side is the reason for the breakup. I think this is a satisfactory enough answer."

There was no consideration for Flora.

broken man.

That title will be a good excuse to cut off the troublesome conversation that will follow you in the future.

It was entirely for Roman himself, but Flora had no choice but to accept it differently because she did not know the truth.

'What the hell is this man?'

Flora's eyes fluttered wildly.

It was a series of disappointments.

According to the rumors, Roman should have an inside as unassuming as his exterior, but the more you look at Roman's words and actions, the more he looks, the more he doesn't match the nickname of Dmitry's fool.

One's own definite subjectivity and the ability to act. A person who meets at least these conditions cannot be short enough to be called an idiot wherever he goes.

The brain was intricately entangled.

However, the water has already been spilled, and the breakup has become a reality.

"The more important the task, the better it is to be dealt with quickly. So, drink some tea and wait. With this matter, I will come to see you."

He couldn't hold on to Roman any longer.

At the sight of Roman moving in a flat manner, Flora looked at her back with complicated eyes for a while.

* * *

bang!

What are you talking about! Breaking up!"

It was the expected reaction.

The moment he mentioned the word breakon, Baron Romero, the lord of Dmitry, could not hide his explosive anger.

"It is as I said. I can't do this marriage. I have already finished talking to Lawrence's young Ae, so I don't think we can go back to that choice."

"Hey, profit !"

Baron Romero's face flushed red.

This was a notice.

Rather than asking for permission to make a choice, Roman had already made a decision and informed it unilaterally.

"What a stupid bastard! Even if people call you Dmitry's idiot, I tried to pass on a good environment to you as a father's dory. You are different from my other children. They enjoyed wealth and honor as children of aristocrats from the time they were born, but you and I experienced the days of commoners together. So even if you act like an idiot, I understand. Since the environment has changed, there must have been a lot of things that I wanted to do as a child."

His beard was trembling.

It was just as Baron Romero had said.

When he got the opportunity to supply weapons to Cairo, Baron Romero had an only son, Roman.

A child who was a commoner became the son of a nobleman.

Roman's childhood went like this.

When the children, who had looked down on him, bowed their heads, Roman's personality changed for the worse.

and currently.

Roman became Dmitry's wife.

It symbolizes that Dmitry was a commoner, and that's why he doesn't want to show it to others.

"The union with the Lawrence House is a very important matter for our Dmitry to fully establish himself as a nobleman. Did I expect a big role from you? All you have to do is marry the pretty noble young girl you so desperately wanted, and you can't do that, ruining your business.

Sorry.

"This is not a matter of apologies!"

Pak!

Baron Romero threw the object he could get at Roman.

A strong shock hit Roman's head, but Roman calmly bowed his head despite the blood dripping from his head.

This is a matter of responsibility.

Since you broke the promise, it is right to accept the price for it.

"If all goes well, I was trying to somehow solve the problem of you performing your national defense duties. But you've messed things up here, so you'll have to leave for the battlefield in the next six months. Do you have anything to say about this?"

There is not.

"And I heard that there was an incident with Blood Fang. Witnesses say you punished them, but I don't believe them. Well, that doesn't make sense. How can a guy who can't wield a sword properly punish them? Maybe someone helped. The problem is that Blood Fang is a beehive that even I cannot touch. son The moment you fail to fulfill your duties as a child, you are obliged to solve your own problems. So, you have to solve this problem yourself. I am not going to give you any help on that."

It was not a rational decision.

Baron Romero was angry, and he uttered every word that could punish Roman.

military duty.

Blood Fang.

It was a problem that a normal Roman could not handle.

Baron Romero expected, of course, that Roman would get down on his knees as usual, weeping and begging for forgiveness.

'If the fact of the breakup of the marriage is not known externally, there is still room for resolution of this issue.'

It was his judgment.

He was thinking of breaking Roman's spirit completely and doing things as intended.

By the way.

Okay. I will take care of it myself."

What?

"It happened because of me. As my father said, I think it is right for me to deal with it."

Baron Romero was perplexed.

unexpected development.

Roman bowed his head, got up from his seat, and spoke one last time.

"Then I will solve all the problems and return."

left the place

Baron Romero was so embarrassed that he couldn't even catch Roman.

Roman came out.

As he wiped the blood dripping from his forehead with his sleeve, there was a man in front of him staring intently at him.

It's Flora Lawrence.

After hearing all the conversations outside, she unwittingly spoke her heart.

"Are you really crazy?"
