If you start, you must see the end (2)

Moment.

Viscount Barco's expression was terribly distorted.

Roman Dmitry's remarks completely crossed the line that should not be crossed even in a hostile relationship.

"Yeah, man! How dare you make such a fuss about where you are!"

Viscount Barco and Roman Dmitry.

status is different.

If Viscount Barco is the head of a family, Roman is just a kid from the baron family who has not yet inherited the title.

But looking straight at you and uttering offensive remarks.

Even a toothless tiger could never stand by Roman's atrocities in front of others.

OK. tell me what you did wrong You would have thought that you, a vulgar who does not know the laws of the nobility, could intervene in other people's wars without any cause, but that is not allowed in the Cairo Kingdom. Why do you think Barco has just declared the territorial war? According to your logic, it would be enough to attack before Lawrence was ready, but we did this work with the law of the nobility and with the approval of the central government."

War with Lawrence.

It was a long plan.

He made the dispute public based on forged documents and emphasized the justification that no one could intervene in the war.

It was perfect.

Even if he didn't like Barco's behavior, there was no room for others to intervene.

But why?

As Viscount Barco, he could not understand whether Roman Dmitry had appeared on the battlefield.

"The nobles of Cairo are not fools. War without cause deserves burial in aristocratic society, and I will take your actions into question and get the Dmitry family a price to pay for it. The Dmitry family cannot avoid that responsibility. No matter how great a family's prestige is, there is an implicit agreement that a family that violates the laws of the nobility will be destroyed by the neighboring families in solidarity. If you were just a little bit interested in the history of the aristocracy, you would know that there were actually many such examples."

The voice was raised.

Seeing Roman's calm expression despite the harsh words made me feel even more twisted.

"It is not an excuse to say that you did not know the laws of the nobility. Do you understand now? how stupid you are Baron Dmitry will suffer greatly because of you. It means that the Dmitry family, who would have lived in peace for having one son wrong, will be criticized by the nobles in the northeast!"

Quang!

knocked down the table

As he got up from his seat and exhaled a rough breath, Roman only looked up at him silently.

"Are you finished?"

what?!

calm voice.

Despite the storm-like rage, Roman looked around at the faces of the surrounding nobles with a relaxed expression.

"Then, from now on, I will tell you why I got involved in the war and the cause."

The atmosphere subsided.

Breaking through the tension where even the sound of breathing had to be careful, Roman's sharp voice penetrated the ears of the nobles.

"Lawrence and Dmitry were originally engaged to be married. However, I decided to break the marriage for reasons that were not revealed externally, and in that way, I became an idiot who suffered the divorce. What do you think was the reason for the breakup of the people gathered here? my reputation? female bias? Or, simply because Flora Lawrence simply didn't like me? All of that is not true."

tuk tuk.

I tapped the desk with my finger.

At the sound of scratching their nerves, people swallowed dry saliva.

"Barco's eldest son, Anthony Barco, threatened me to break up with him."

" ?!"

"It's time to go back to Barco's social party. I was acquainted with Anthony Barco, and even after promising to marry Lawrence, I attended the party at his invitation. And I fell into a trap. Drunk I woke up in a room with Emily Barco, Barco's colleague, and realized that Anthony Barco had dug a trap to get Lawrence and Dmitry away. As expected, Anthony Barco used the incident as an excuse to threaten to annul his marriage to Lawrence."

in Roman's words.

The nobles were agitated.

If Roman decided to break up the marriage due to Anthony Barco's threats, the justification for holding Roman responsible became vague.

"The moment you reveal your teeth, you no longer have them."

A time when we were walking on thin ice due to the succession structure of the magic school.

Baek Joong-hyuk suffered from all kinds of harm.

Roman Dmitry's reputation was reduced to a ridiculous level of garbage, but Baek Jung-hyuk at that time solved the problem by breaking through the rumor head-on.

What if it's garbage?

His people trusted Baek Joong-hyeok, and as he dealt with the enemies one by one, the rumors that were growing behind him gradually disappeared.

so that.

Roman first blocked the cause of the threat.

After all, he had no reputation for falling any further.

In a situation that was unusual for Viscount Barco to turn around, he shouted with an agitation.

gibberish! Do you think you would believe that? Come on, I'll call Emily Barco right away and check the authenticity. Everyone knows how trash Dmitry's eldest son lived, but it's disgusting to see your tongue trying to cover up the truth while treating it as a threat.

"I knew you would say that. Had it been someone who would admit the truth, we would never have met like this. I take this opportunity to make a fact clear. The reason I got involved in Barco and Lawrence's war is not revenge through intimidation, but because there is another reason."

"Another reason ?"

the more you talk.

Viscount Barco felt like he was drowning in mud.

The words he said, the attitude he showed, all acted like puppets in Roman's expectations.

said Roman.

"Everyone knows that Anthony Barco followed Flora Lawrence. In the process, Anthony Barco crossed the line. Flora Lawrence tried to molest her and failed, and Flora Lawrence, shocked by the incident, eventually decided to break up with her. The reason for the breakup of the marriage was that even after going through such an incident, I could not show my face at the wedding with a smile.

"Hey, what is that?!"

"Do you think this is also not true? good. Then call in Emily Barco and Flora Lawrence, both to find out the truth."

overturned the argument.

Anthony Barco lied to the trap.

if so.

You should do the same for yourself.

If Emily Barco falsely tells Roman sexual harassment, Flora Lawrence can do the same.

Whether the truth?

It didn't matter.

As long as there is a justification to dispel the opponent's criticism, Roman's plan will be perfectly successful.

And.

'At first, Anthony Barco said he was molesting Flora. Even if it wasn't as good as having me and Emily Barco in one shot, he crossed the line well enough before we got married. Since such acts are known around them, even Viscount Barco, Anthony Barco's father, cannot believe the truth.'

lie mixed with truth.

Finally.

Roman completely tapped the opponent and pressed them down.

"Anthony Barco touched my woman at the time I promised her to marry Lawrence. I will ask Viscount Barco and those gathered here. Do you really think I have no cause to intervene in war? I intervened in the war only with my own power, without borrowing the power of my family. That is the only reward I can give for her, who did not know the truth about Flora and accepted the divorce."

It was perfect.

The argument was scattered, and the cause was won.

Viscount Barco.

He fell into an outlier.

Viscount Barco was speechless.

A cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and fifty thousand thoughts ran through his complicated mind to find a solution.

'no method. Roman Dmitry's cause is perfect.'

Anthony Barco's threat.

ugly.

and revenge.

It was the perfect reason.

In addition, Roman thoroughly intervened in the war on his own, thinking that he might take issue with the involvement of the Dmitry family.

Then there was nothing to say.

The moment he brought Roman's cause of vengeance for Flora Lawrence to the surface, Barco was going to face a headwind and be condemned.

Dizziness occurred.

Mouth was dry.

'He's a monster. The nobles who were trying to help me are being shaken by Roman's words.'

The nobles who found Barco.

They turned away from Viscount Barco.

If Roman's words were true, Barco changed his expression as if he was not going to fall like him.

now.

The truth battle was meaningless.

Even if he was biting Emily Barco, he knew that there was nothing Barco could gain.

'There is only one way for Barco to survive. taking time off. Rather than giving the other person a perfect excuse, we must first avoid this situation and find a new solution.'

He opened his face eagerly.

As if nothing had happened, Viscount Barco said in a calm tone.

"I don't think what you say is true. I think Anthony Barco is no different, just as you, who have been reputed to be Dmitry's jerk, deny your relationship with Emily Barco. So, we will clearly confirm the truth about this and contact you again. Sorry, everyone. I didn't call you for this... ."

His words were verbose.

Embarrassed, he appeared to try to hold onto the nobles and not lose sight of the link.

to him.

Roman laughed.

One day ago from now.

Roman recalled his conversation with Chris.

"Are you really saying you want to go to Barco?! That is suicide. Viscount Barco, I can't leave you unattended!

Roman's plan.

Hearing that he was going to Barco, Chris stopped Roman in a panic.

It was natural.

Roman completely ruined Barco's plans, hoping to go to Barco and survive was over-expected.

said Roman.

Kris. What do you think the future will be like in my relationship with Barco?"

" For Barco, he would think of his master as an all-powerful supporter. If the master hadn't interfered, they would have defeated Lawrence and walked down the boulevard. But even so, there is no reason to touch an enemy who has nothing to lose. If possible, it is better to avoid fighting."

no.

Until you reach the top of the magic bridge.

While slaughtering many enemies, Baek Jung-hyuk established an iron rule.

"If you haven't started, you don't know, but if you start, you have to see the end. We know that Barco will hold a grudge against me. Then when they are at stake, this is a good opportunity to uproot revenge."

And now.

Roman saw Viscount Barco.

"Viscount Barco."

eyes were focused.

Viscount Barco, who comforted the nobles with a bewildered face, and the nobles around them also showed their eyes as to what they were trying to say.

looking at them

"Choose one from now on. Would you like to end with Antoni Barco getting the proper punishment for my personal problems with Anthony Barco, or do you want to escalate this case as a family matter?"

alternative.

Roman thrust the sword under Viscount Barco's chin.
