Baron Romero's Troubles (4)

Waiting for Hendrick.

Baron Romero recalled memories of the past.

3 years ago.

At the meeting to decide the successor, Hendrick reacted fiery to the words of the vassal that he was still the eldest son.

"Is being the eldest son important enough to throw the future of the family to the ground? Yes, Roman is the eldest son of the Dmitry family. And if you go out on the street and ask what kind of person Roman Dmitry is, they will say that all ten are Dmitry's jerks. Do you still want Roman to become Dmitry's successor? Everyone, please come to your senses!"

vomited out anger

And.

He made a remark to put an end to the controversy.

"Young lord. Dmitry's roots are in the forge. Most of the Lord's followers work in iron mines and blacksmiths, but what would everyone think if the next successor could not handle iron at all? There is nothing so funny. And it's not that we don't have other alternatives. Rodwell Dmitry learned his chores at a forge from an early age. There are outstanding talents who have proven their talents even in the capital, and I believe that appointing Roman Dmitry as the successor is a decision that puts the family at risk."

Hendrick carries the gun.

The part where everyone had to be careful.

When he said that he would remove the eldest son from the position of successor, the vassals and vassals also supported Hendrick by adding words.

like that.

Rodwell Dmitry was nominated as the successor.

Roman, unaware of this fact, continued to live as a scum, convincing the vassals that their judgment was correct.

'Now, three years have passed, Roman has changed. Even vassals who were fervent like Hendrick asked to reconsider the possibility of a successor to Roman, and the public sentiments of the iron mines and the general residents are no different. However, that does not exclude the opinion of Hendrick, the master of the forge. As he said, Dmitry's roots lie in the forge, so he cannot blindly support Roman, who neglected his duty as a successor.'

I had a headache.

son's growth.

It would have been easier to solve the problem if he had proven his worth a little sooner, but thinking about the succession issue now makes it difficult for him to get in trouble.

Being in good shape recently was a different matter.

Although Roman has grown up as a swordsman and showed shocking moves, what Hendrick considers important as Dmitry's successor is whether he understands the work of the blacksmith.

There was no doubt that it was the basic knowledge of the Dmitry family.

If you were in charge of the family, you would have to manage the blacksmith's work yourself, but Hendrick couldn't accept the guy who didn't know anything and obey his orders.

Hendrick.

He was the master of the forge and a companion of Baron Romero.

If such a person objected, even as Baron Romero, the question of succession could not be enforced.

'Perhaps Hendrik will be very much against my opinion. Still, I have to ask Since the mainstream wants Roman, if we encounter opposition from Hendrik, then we should discuss the current issue again.'

It wasn't a guess.

strong conviction.

Having seen Hendrick for a long time, he was sure of how he would react.

By the way.

"Of course I agree. If you are Master Roman Dmitry, I think you are qualified as a successor."

Hendrik, who was faced with it, uttered a statement different from what he expected.

Baron Romero blinked in disbelief.

If it's Hendrick.

If you are the master of the blacksmith.

Of course, it was normal for the road to run wild and vomit out anger at the remarks about raising Roman as the successor again.

" Are you serious?"

"How can I tell a lie against the lord? There was a time when Roman Dmitry felt unworthy of a successor. But now it's different. As demonstrated in his recent war against Barco, Roman worked hard in places we couldn't see, blood and sweat. As a result, he was able to grow as an aura swordsman, and he shows an attitude to understand Dmitry enough to work in an iron mine on his own."

I couldn't believe it even after hearing it.

Hendrick defending Roman.

As if the words were still not over, Hendrick recalled what had happened in the past.

"Actually, I had an incident with Roman a while ago. Roman put in a quest to arm the soldiers, and I told him to take the things that were not good for his antipathy towards Roman. But do you know what Roman said to me back then? Your act of handing over these things as soldiers' weapons was no different from murder, and they shot me at me. Yes. It was a violation of craftsmanship, but that night, as I reflected on Roman's actions, I had this thought."

today.

Hendrick saw the true face of Roman.

Memories of the past were glorified, and even the quarrel with Roman was interpreted as a good memory (?) at will.

"Your master Roman has an eye worthy of the Dmitry family. Otherwise, it is impossible to accurately determine the condition of objects with the general eye. And today, I witnessed Master Roman working directly at the blacksmith. I see him concentrating on his work while facing the scorching heat in front of the fire... . Ha, that was a look I couldn't help but fall in love with as a blacksmith."

Once upon a time.

called it bad luck.

However, from the moment he received the gift from Roman, Hendrick fell in love with Roman.

Hendrick handed the sword.

At the sight of the sword shining brilliantly under the light, Baron Romero showed a questioning look.

"What is this?"

"This is a sword that Master Roman made himself. If you are the Lord, you will recognize it at once. How great is the value of this sword. At first, I didn't believe it was Master Roman's skill, but after seeing how he was working today, I knew it was the truth."

Baron Romero opened his eyes.

sword in front of you.

It was a famous sword.

Like Hendrick, Baron Romero recognized the value of the sword at once, and could not hide his bewilderment.

" What is this?"

how.

How did Roman make such a sword?

Roman's recent move.

Baron Romero had a slight regret.

Although he is growing rapidly as a swordsman, he still neglects his family duties as a person who once risked his life at a blacksmith's office.

if it's your own son.

I thought that the eldest son of the Dmitry family should at least show an interest in the forge, as Hendrick strongly insisted.

By the way.

Hendrick reveals the shocking truth.

This was not simply a result of interest, but it proved that Roman was qualified enough to kick and fall.

Hendrick said.

"The roots of Dmitry are in the forge. Three years ago, Master Rodwell was selected as the next successor, but now that Master Roman is proving his worth, we need to reconsider our decision."

The situation was reversed.

Hendrik, who was opposed to the fundamentals.

Contrary to Baron Romero's intention to persuade his opponent, he was rather trying to persuade Baron Romero.

"This is true."

laughter came out.

Hendrick.

Master Blacksmith.

The last gate that Baron Romero was worried about was the moment when it collapsed in vain.

private office.

Baron Romero, who had sent Hendrick back, remained alone in his office, reading the letter he had received a year earlier.

[father. This is Rodwell. Not long ago, Kairos Royal Academy promoted to S-Class. From now on, it seems that I will not only take theory classes, but also go to practice and gain experience as a commander. My father wants the Dmitry family to seek peace on the outskirts. But my dream is different. After graduating with the highest grades from the Kairos Royal Academy, I will surely visit my father as a proud son and show him the future of the new Dmitry.]

Rodwell Dmitry.

It was the second letter.

He was Dmitry's mutant.

Unlike Baron Romero, who lives a simple life, he is born with an ambitious character who always wants to be the best.

And it actually produced results.

Kairos Royal Academy is the highest educational institution representing the Kingdom of Cairo, and being promoted to S-Class, the highest class there, meant that Rodwell Dmitry's talent was recognized.

At one time, receiving a letter like this made my heart pound for the future of the new Dmitry.

He hoped that Rodwell would have wings based on the foundation he had built well, but recently, Roman's growth has been complicated.

Roman and Rodwell.

Both are great talents.

However.

Looking at his recent moves, Roman was not just a talent that could be expressed as a talent.

'Roman is a talent who will make fame on the continent, not in the Cairo Kingdom. Rodwell clearly showed that he was faithful to his duty as the heir of the family, but even Rodwell, who is called a genius, cannot be compared to the current Roman. So, what decision should I make for my two sons?'

The worries were deep.

And.

made a decision

The people want Roman.

The vassals of the family, the servants who follow Roman, the masters of iron mines and blacksmiths.

He wants Roman to become the heir, but he can't push Rodwell to the end because of past decisions.

blast furnace.

'There is still time. After Rodwell graduates from the Academy and Roman fulfills all his military duties, the race for succession will be declared in earnest. There is no distinction between the eldest son and the second son. If either of them shows qualifications to lead Dmitry, I will select and support him as the heir to the family.'

finally.

The worries that gave me a headache are gone.

Baron Romero left Iman's office.

After a long time, it seemed like I could get a good night's sleep next to Rihanna.

last month.

What were the priests of Valhalla doing?

Willas, who should have arrived at Dmitry immediately, spent a considerable amount of time in the opposite area.

"Sir. The results of this ranking match seem really shocking. Bertov, who was ranked 99th just a year ago, won the ranking match against Fernando, the 30th-place goalkeeper. When the ranking list for the new Cairo Kingdom is announced next year, everyone will be in a rage. Bertov doesn't belong yet, doesn't he?

"I will."

To the apostle's words, Willas reacted bluntly.

The day I was going to leave for Dmitry.

They received an official ranking match request.

99th Bertov applied for a ranked match to Fernando, and Fernando accepted the challenge without hesitation.

Long time no see.

The official ranking match was completed.

The result was Fernando's defeat, and the resulting administrative action forced Willas to spend a lot of time.

said Willas.

"Actually, Fernando's defeat was foreseen in the first place. People revere Fernando as the number 30 gatekeeper, but even after reaching the status of a four-star swordsman a long time ago, Fernando never made it into the top 20. In the end, the limit must have been reached. By the way, I wasted too much time because of this ranking match. If it went as planned, I should have already reached Dmitry."

"Do you want to see Roman Dmitry?"

Of course.

The reason why Willas is so blunt.

Because of Roman Dmitry.

Rumors continued to swell in the northeast area.

The Barco family was destroyed, and Roman's ability to defeat Homer in the process is truly real.

Most didn't believe it.

However.

Still, Willas wanted to see Roman.

'Common sense, it is correct to think that variables occurred in the confrontation with Homer. The problem is that Roman Dmitry, the protagonist of the rumors, was such a poor person that he was called Dmitry's jerk. Even if the rumors about the Battle of Daejeon are exaggerated, it must mean that there has been a change that will shock people.'

Life in Cairo.

It was really free.

As a Priest of Valhalla, Willas was on a dispatch mission, and now halfway through his period, he needed something interesting.

Then I heard Roman's story.

People were enthusiastic about the battle between Bertov and Fernando, but Willas somehow wanted to see the truth about the northeast area with his own eyes.

hastened to walk

I've done all the rankings before.

Now it was time to leave for Dmitry.

"Let's go to Dmitry first. Since Homer #49 died in an unofficial showdown, shouldn't we check if Roman Dmitry can even get into the bottom of the rankings?

and a few days later.

The transfer didn't take long.

Suddenly, before their eyes, Dmitry's gray walls began to appear.
