leaving the party

The aristocrats of the Northeast Association gathered at Viscount Conrad's mansion and burst into rage.

"The arrogant bastard!"

"It doesn't seem like the guy who was once called Dmitry's nerd has gained some recognition in the capital."

Yes. Do you remember what he said last time? I will try to the end. Very, very, very cheeky, he is a guy with a sky high. Everyone. This should never be overlooked. If you keep your head down like this, people will think that the Northeast Association is nothing."

Everyone thought the same.

I want revenge, but the problem was that it wasn't easy.

" So, is there any special way?"

It was Viscount Conrad.

He, who had been the main character of humiliation, still had a burning face that did not subside.

"Dmitrypa, led by Viscount Lawrence, sided with Roman. This is a fight we cannot win. So, even though I'm bowing my head, you guys haven't helped me? To be honest, I am skeptical about the meaning of the Northeast Association. To put it bluntly, the Dmitry family's forces are absolutely overwhelming, and they also have Roman Dmitry who defeated Butler. You can't take them down in the normal way."

Unlike the first time when I was confident.

Viscount Conrad turned skeptical.

Even now, when I think of the scene where I bow my head in front of people, it feels like my heart is pounding.

Union nobles.

They were speechless.

He vented his anger, but in fact there was no clear way.

'Since the fall of Barco, there has been no way to stop Dmitry.'

A unique river.

Dmitry's presence was overwhelming.

Recently, to the extent that he prepared for a war against the Castro family, Dmitry showed his power beyond the northeast region from a certain moment.

Conflict with them is not an easy thing to do.

They wanted to hit him properly, but they knew that it was not an easy matter, so the nobles kept their words as little as possible.

That was then.

A nobleman said in a cautious voice.

" Why not try contacting the central government?"

"Are you saying that we should pressure Dmitry with the power of the central government?"

Yes. After the fall of Barco, we did everything we could to get in touch with the central government. Now is the time to use it. I can't ask for much because the relationship with the central government is not strong yet, but it is possible to tie this issue to only the Dmitry family and the Northeast Association. If only pro-Dmitry, including the Lawrence family, cut off the cause to participate in the war. No matter how strong Dmitry is, he is bound to be defeated in the battle for the number."

It's not about going to war.

Obviously, the Northeast Alliance was going to create an advantage, then negotiate and get an apology.

At least it was the best

I had no intention of just leaving.

Because he had to do something, Viscount Konrad showed the will.

"Then I will contact you right away."

* * *

communication is connected.

beyond the screen.

Viscount Konrad spoke of the purpose as the representative of the nobles whom they had formed a relationship with through many bribes.

"Count Fabius. I have one request."

[Say it. It's a request from Viscount Konrad, and of course I have to do it.]

"Thank you so much for saying that. Not surprisingly, there has been a recent dispute with the Dmitry family. The problem is that Roman Dmitry has blatantly humiliated me for that. Count Fabius. Couldn't you use the power of the central government to put pressure on the Dmitry family just once... ."

drop.

Communication is cut off.

As the screen suddenly disappeared, Viscount Konrad urged the soldier with a bewildered face.

"Can you not connect the communication straight? I might offend Count Fabius, so connect now!"

Okay.

The soldier moved hastily.

Communication attempted again.

When the face of Count Fabius came to mind, Viscount Conrad tried to apologize for the unstable communication.

By the way.

[Sigh. It's really not that bad.]

I was speechless for a moment.

Count Fabius, who clearly looked at him with warm eyes, showed contempt as if he was looking at a bug.

[If you live on the edge of the border, do you have to close your ear canals? What? You want to pressure Roman Dmitry? Hey, you bastards. Roman Dmitry is a talent that the Marquis Benedict cherishes. Now he's making every effort to get Roman as his son-in-law, and he's talking bullshit about moving the central government to pressure Dmitry. No, I asked if it would be useful as a link to make friends with the Dmitry family if it belongs to the Northeast, but what are all these bastards?]

My mind went blank.

I wondered if the situation I saw with my eyes and heard with my ears was real.

[Listen carefully from now on. Has the Castro and the Dmitrys had a recent clash? Do you know what the central government's conclusion was then? Castro, who could not even grasp the trend, said that he had no right to speak in the central government, and the Marquis Benedict demolished the Castro family, a close friend. now you know Don't be afraid, in order to live, I think I'll look good to Roman Dmitry.]

That was the last word.

tuk.

Communication is cut off.

The Northeast Association was speechless.

In the meantime, I spent time and money trying to get to know Count Fabius, but in an instant, the tower I worked hard on collapsed.

Not only that.

Count Fabius spoke of the possibility of an arranged marriage between Dmitry and the Benedictine family.

As the Northeast Association, which had been skeptical about Barco's production of people from the central government, it was impossible to hide its disastrous feelings at the word 'arranged marriage'.

this.

"It looks like we made a serious mistake."

But what to do?

I've already crossed the river.

A nobleman, who had been claiming revenge, said in a cautious voice.

" How about apologizing for Viscount Konrad's problem first? Don't look at me with those eyes. For us to live, this is the smarter way than to build up our self-esteem."

The bats of the northeast.

They instinctively started looking for a way to live.

* * *

Disputes with the Konrad family.

the problem is solved.

The Konrad family apologized directly to the peasants and promised not to touch them for the remainder of the contract.

"Master Roman. Thank you very much!

"I heard that the master worked hard for us. I don't know how to express this gratitude. From now on, if it's for the master, I'll do anything even with an insignificant body.

Dmitry's peasants.

They came and expressed their gratitude to Roman.

What happened at the party quickly spread.

There were many eyes to see, and the servants who carried food came and went and listened carefully to what Roman was saying.

"Viscount Conrad. The peasants of Dmitry you touched are my people. My people who live in Dmitry, pay taxes to Dmitry, and pay their allegiance to Dmitry. But you touched them without a word."

my people.

It was a moving word.

It was a moment when Dmitry's loyalty grew stronger, and Roman's reputation grew day by day.

'As expected, the Northeast Association lost its tail. They would have thought of bringing the central government into the conflict with Dmitry, but the current central government has no choice but to support me rather than the Northeast Federation.'

He is the weight of balance.

From the moment the central government turned away from Castro.

Roman found that a temporary 'background' had been created.

So, from the beginning, there was a certainty that the conflict with the Konrad family would not lead to war.

'The Northeast Association is like a bat. In my debates, I did not hesitate to express my anger without hesitation, and I did not hesitate to lose face whenever the situation turned out to be unfavorable. When Viscount Lawrence and Dmitry took my side, I apologized immediately, and when I realized that I couldn't bring in the central government now, I gave up huge profits and made the contract with the Sanghan void. If you end up doing things like this. Dmitry may be able to exert a stronger dominance in the northeast area than before, but there is a high probability that the Northeast Federation Association, which has been waiting for the moment when the central government intervenes, will be struck in the head.'

dangerous variable.

Nothing changed.

So, from the initial planning stage, Roman had no intention of finishing things in such a sloppy fashion.

this plan.

It was divided into three stages.

If the first step is provocation.

'The second step is to face reality.'

probably by now.

Lucas, in charge of the information guild, must be spreading a single fact to the northeast area.

* * *

One fact.

That was very interesting news.

"Is the Dmitry family holding a swordsmanship competition this time? The prize money for winning is not even a penny or two, it's a whopping one hundred gold."

a. Back gold is a lot of money, but can you win the competition with Roman Dmitry holding on? This is Dmitry's plan to raise Roman's status. Hector is a monster who also defeated Butler, who is ranked second in the kingdom, who the hell can beat Roman?"

"Listen to what people have to say. Of course, if Roman participated, the contest would be meaningless. However, Roman Dmitry and Commander Jonathan of the Knights Templar are not participating in this tournament. Not only that, the tournament is divided into six groups. 6 groups and 6 winners. Do you know what I mean? Whichever group it is, the winner of that group gets the hundred gold."

Ugh. Really?!

There was a riot.

conditions of the competition.

It was so attractive.

Competition is bound to be fierce if there is only one winner, but the Dmitry family decided to split it into six parts.

A competition limited to prosecutors working in the northeast area.

Since the participants were also covered, the more I thought about it, the more difficult the odds of winning were.

by nonsense.

If you are lucky enough to be assigned to a group with an underdog, wouldn't it be possible to win as it is?

Rumors circulated.

People wanted to know the truth.

There was an official meeting just in time, and Roman said to people's questions.

"As rumored, the Dmitry family is officially preparing for the competition. The purpose of the competition is clear. As you all know, I went to war with the kingdom of Hector on the Southern Front. People only remember that I won, but then I realized that the world was big. So, we will take the time to prove us through this competition. We experienced the wide world, and that experience made us stronger. 6 sets. Each group will be assigned one person who will follow me. If there is a person who defeats my subordinates and wins, I will unconditionally grant not only the back gold, but also the request of that person as much as possible."

It was an extraordinary talk.

of those who were listening.

Someone asked if anyone belonging to a noble family could participate.

Available. As long as you prove that you are a prosecutor working in the northeast area, we do not look at any other conditions. The competition is one month from now. I hope that I prepare enough and that many people will take on the challenge."

with these words at the end.

Roman made no further comment on the contest.

However, the fact that had already been revealed alone had no choice but to upset the northeast area.

Especially.

The aristocrats of the Northeast Association, who had managed to suppress their anger, clenched their fists as soon as they heard the news.

this is really

For revenge, I was convinced that it was the perfect opportunity.
