CH 160

Two-way (3)

The problem started with the report of the captain of the guard.

The captain of the guard, who opened the gates early in the morning, reported to the superior that a person to be aware of had entered.

"You mean the people of Roman Dmitry have entered?"

Yes.

"What is the purpose of your entry?"

"One of the servants of the Dmitry family is Hans. Roman Dmitry is the person in charge of, and his granddaughter, who lives in the Adelian estate, has a birthday today. Judging from the fact that they prepared a variety of items for the birthday party, it seems to be to celebrate the birthday of their granddaughter, as they say."

" Hmm."

Count Adelian responded with suspicion.

Hans is just a servant.

However, sending someone to take care of a servant's granddaughter could not be understood by the common sense of a nobleman.

'But it's impossible to just get over it.'

Roman Dmitry.

It is the dominant force in the northeast area.

By absorbing the Northeast Alliance against the Dmitry family, the Dmitry family had an overwhelming power.

In particular, Roman Dmitry has been acting as an acting lord a lot lately.

People could not be ignorant of the flow of power, and while pretending not to be interested, they focused on Roman Dmitry's moves.

he like that

sent someone

Count Adelian felt strongly that something was there.

'The northeast area united under the name of the Dmitry Alliance. It is true that the nobles of the provinces marginalized in Cairo should protect each other, but the alliance exerts a kind of binding force. The forces outside the eyes of the Dmitry family. They cannot actively seek the help of the alliance.'

Adelian.

They were located in the outermost part of the northeast region, and because of their geographical advantage, they could be called the center of commerce.

Conversely, it also meant that they were most vulnerable when civil war broke out.

It was ironic indeed, and Count Adelian knew that, so he always cared about his relationship with Dmitry.

It was the same this time.

The part that he could just spill over, he bit and drooped to the end.

30 minutes later.

The captain of the guard has learned more about Hans.

"Hans has almost raised Roman Dmitry from an early age. He stood by his side even when he was called Dmitry's fool, and it is said that he has a say in the Dmitry family, perhaps because of the accumulated years. It seems that he is really trying to take care of Hans. Considering that Roman Dmitry has shown a certain way of giving to his people, the picture of taking care of Hans is not so strange."

"That's right!"

my mind brightened

If Roman Dmitry is a person whom he cherishes.

The painting that the Adelian family actively took care of was a golden opportunity to appeal with certainty.

servant's identity?

That didn't matter.

If Roman considers Hans important, from then on, Hans is no longer a person to be treated as a servant.

"Call the family vassals right now. We will now consider what we can do for Hans. So that Hans may not be uncomfortable, and that Harrison, Hans' son, may be happy. Their happiness will reach the Dmitry family, and Roman Dmitry will make us think positively!"

5 hours before the party.

The Adelians were the quickest to seize the opportunity.

* * *

Adelian wasn't the only family watching Dmitry.

Lawrence.

They listened to the information one step slower than Count Adelian.

"Lord! I heard this from someone who works in the Dmitry family, and Hans, the servant, has decided to leave Dmitry early today because of his granddaughter's birthday. What should I do? The lord was going to report everything related to the Dmitry family, but I don't know if I should take care of the servant's condolences.

The information was not perfect.

Adelian confirmed the purpose of the visit from the captain of the guard, but Lawrence had no way of knowing that.

nevertheless.

Viscount Lawrence did not miss the opportunity.

'If it's Hans, he's the one who takes charge of Roman Dmitry. Even if Roman doesn't take Hans's existence very seriously, he needs to take care of Roman's people carefully. Basically, human emotions are derived from trivial things. If everyone who follows Roman has positive feelings for the Lawrence family, even if it takes a long time, it will one day reach the top.'

last year.

Viscount Lawrence took care of every detail of Dmitry.

At first, people like Hans didn't pay attention, but he always showed his face in the condolences of Baron Romero and key figures like Rihanna and Knights Templar Jonathan.

And now, I have broadened the scope of my interest.

Knowing that Roman Dmitry cared for his people, Hans was only a servant, but as Viscount Lawrence, he didn't want to miss it.

to give you a birthday.

No special effort is required.

I thought that a friendly relationship with Dmitry would be completed with such a trivial effort.

"Hans is a person worthy of taking care of congratulations and condolences. Find out what his granddaughter likes, and prepare a gift for her."

Okay.

Start with Adelian.

Next was Lawrence.

They thought they were moving secretly, but there was no way that the foxes in the northeast area were unaware of their suspicious movements.

The nobles who heard the news belatedly. The lights went out on their feet.

As Viscount Lawrence did not take care of them as meticulously as Viscount Lawrence did, they thought that they did not want to be left behind by others, so they prepared a present in a hurry.

The gift craze spread like a fever.

2 hours before my birthday.

Viscount Konrad, who had slept profusely the night before, was the last to hear from Dmitry.

what?! Why are you saying that now!"

" The Lord was sleeping, so I couldn't wake him up.

"Hey, you idiot. I always said If it's something related to Dmitry, I'd like you to report it unconditionally even if there are two sides of the sky. What if we are not good enough because we have karma that we have done, and we are falling behind others!"

Sorry.

The knight bowed his head.

There was no time to rebuke now.

Viscount Conrad looked pale and shook his head quickly.

'What gift should I give you?'

There was no time.

In my mind, I wanted to prepare a customized gift for my granddaughter, but the time to deliver the gift in two hours was tight.

finally.

He hurriedly ran to his wife's room.

When his wife smiled softly, he hit her jewelry box without even looking at her.

"Hey, honey?!"

Sorry! I'm really sorry!

a few days ago.

I gave my wife an expensive ruby ring as a gift.

Thinking that it would be the perfect gift, Viscount Conrad, who took out the ruby ring, ran without looking back.

on that look.

"You crazy husband!"

My wife threw an object from behind.

But what do you mean?

The future of the family is at stake.

He couldn't even imagine that Hans' granddaughter was six, and Viscount Conrad's face was full of triumph, who stole an adult-sized ruby ring.

'This could be the perfect balance for a birthday party.'

this birthday party.

The truth of the baptism of the gifts of the nobles came from their excessive loyalty to Dmitry.

gifts in front of you.

it was dazzling

Harrison didn't know what to do with the ruby ring and various luxuries that his wife wouldn't mind using.

' What is this?'

Thank you for preparing the gift.

However.

From an early age, Harrison was told to know the subject and live.

Those words were heard enough to be engraved on the bones of not only Harrison, but also of commoners.

It's something you don't know what kind of danger it might bring.

Worry took precedence over pure joy.

'I don't know for what purpose the nobles sent the gifts, but except for a few gifts, they are not for my daughter. If you are greedy for these things, you may pay a price you can't afford. Now that you have given us a present, we will show our joy in front of them, and then we will return them all separately.'

organized my thoughts.

Because his father lived the life of a servant, he knew how dangerous it was to covet the nobles.

"I will open the last present."

It was a small envelope.

Since the size was very small, it seemed that this time was not a gift from a nobleman.

Harrison, who was expecting a small gift such as the mail, opened his eyes when he checked the contents inside.

Ugh.

one sheet of paper.

What was written in it caught my eye.

[Recommendation letter for admission to Glory academy]

My hands were trembling.

Glory Academy.

With the exception of the Cairo Royal Academy, where only the sons of the noble nobility were admitted, it was the best educational institution that commoners could dream of.

A place where even if you have money, you cannot easily enter.

Harrison once wanted his daughter to attend Glory Academy and have a better life than him, but he knew it wasn't easy.

By the way.

Received a recommendation letter from Glory Academy.

It was a different gift from other gifts, and I confirmed that the sender was Roman Dmitry.

" Roman Dmitry wrote a letter of recommendation for admission to Glory Academy for my daughter."

Moment.

The silence has subsided.

people were astonished

The previous gifts were great, but they knew that Glory Academy recommendations were much more than that.

'surely.'

Harrison had a sudden thought.

a month ago.

I told my father about my daughter's future.

At that time, I lightly mentioned Glory Academy, and I thought maybe my father breathed it into me.

saw my father

A father who, like himself, cannot hide his surprise.

The fact that even my father didn't know, my emotions surged.

'Thank you, thank you so much.'

Roman Dmitry.

His gift was a surprise that even Hans did not think of.

* * *

that day.

The party ended successfully.

Hans, who returned to Dmitry early, saying he was worried about Roman, went straight to Roman and said:

" You gave too much gift. I don't want a special gift from the master. Just by remembering and acknowledging that I am, I feel a great sense of satisfaction in my work."

His voice was moist.

He tried to speak calmly, but it seemed that Hans was somewhat moved by Roman's sincerity.

Roman looked at Hans.

'Hans is a bond left by Roman Dmitry.'

relationship with him.

Roman was not intentionally formed.

From the days when he was called Dmitry's nerd, Hans had been by Roman's side, and despite all sorts of humiliation and contempt, taking care of Roman was his top priority.

Because I inherited that memory. Roman accepted the sincerity of a man named Hans, even though he had never experienced it himself.

As Roman Dmitry, he was the first to be in his fence, so Roman did not think of Hans merely as a servant.

"Hans."

Yes.

"These are hazy memories now, but looking back on my childhood memories, I spent more time with you than with my father. At that time, my father had just received the title of nobility and had many things to deal with, and my mother was a good person, but due to childbirth and surrounding events, I couldn't take good care of me. That is why, to me, a person named 'Hans' is special. Regardless of the difference in status, I think so."

" young master.

Hans' eyes reddened.

this case.

it's nothing

Roman only took care of his people, and because he gained strength, the nobles sent gifts.

such a situation.

Roman left it alone.

He hoped that his halo would brighten his people.

"Human emotions are not one-way. Hans, you are mine. So just as you gave me blindly pure feelings, so you deserve what I give you for no reason."

Hans looked at Roman.

Looking at Hans like that.

Roman laughed.

"Happy birthday to my granddaughter."
