Earl of London (6)

the reason for paying off the debt.

It's not just a favor.

Roman Dmitry was clear what he was trying to achieve with a series of situations.

"When people crashed into the mansion, when a wagon loaded with 100,000 gold left the road. I clearly warned the Count. A little bit of tolerance will take the fear out of the hearts of the citizens, and what may happen from then on. But the Count trusted people. I didn't think the cornered people would attack the wagon in the middle of the capital."

It was a mistake.

It is said that the agitators led the situation, but citizens' dissatisfaction in the first place created the present situation.

Count Rondon.

a good person

Although he said he was not a patriot from the beginning, the roots of inheriting the same blood from his father have not changed.

So I had to make a mistake.

Because the world I live in is beautiful, I did not think that people would go beyond their common sense.

"The Count's choice was arrogant. At the very least, if you're borrowing someone else's money to solve an important problem, you shouldn't trust anyone but yourself. As a result, the Count broke his promise to the Dmitry family. Even with 100,000 gold, the problem could not be solved, and the Redford Kingdom would have been embroiled in a vortex of war if it had not been paid for the debt of the Golden Bank. What are you going to do then? Do you regret what has already happened, and will you come to me once more and borrow money by making promises? We all know that the heirloom and the land of Rondon that the Earl has pledged as collateral is of little significance. If we were to rank the debt, the Golden Bank would pull out the pillars of london before Dmitry could even exercise his rights."

the existence of collateral.

From the beginning I knew it was pointless.

When the Golden Bank begins to lead the war, Rondon's property cannot be claimed in pieces of paper.

War is like that.

A war was waged to take away everything from the loser, but what on earth would a document signed by Count Rondon, the owner of the land, mean anything?

Knowing this, Roman Dmitry accepted the offer.

Despite the possibility that 100,000 gold would never be returned, it was worth accepting.

attacking a wagon.

stood by

If Earl London died.

His name is there.

Just as Yoohyeon, a magician student, died, he is only paying the price for what he chooses.

At that time, he would have given up on the card of Rondon and brought up a suitable person to lead Redford.

" Sorry.

dripping, dripping.

Blood dripped from Count Rondon's head.

He was dizzy from not properly healing the wound, but he couldn't take his eyes off Roman Dmitry.

"I am well aware that no words are an excuse. Redford and Dmitry. In this unreasonable relationship, contrary to what was said, I did not bear any responsibility. I lost money, and my choice was clearly wrong. So please tell me the answer. The fact that Roman Dmitry paid off the debt without abandoning Redford, I think, is what I hope for."

red-stained eyes.

tainted with poison

Good eyes faced reality, and he realized that he couldn't solve the problem his own way.

Rondon survived.

If so, it was time to implement the original plan.

Roman Dmitry said.

"The promise of Dmitry and Redford is valid. There is no set time limit for the 210,000 gold money, but I will pay double the price in the future. And what Count Rondon has to do is clear. I'm going to tell people the truth from now on. I will tell everyone what Earl Rondon has been up to, and that he was a patriot, not a patriot as they say. so ."

from the moment we first met.

Roman Dmitry drew a picture in his head.

Seeing the appearance of Count Rondon, who was suffering to the point of being foolish, he decided that such foolishness would be helpful in the future.

Kronos Empire.

Those who compromised with reality were absolutely irresistible.

"Count Rondon, revolt and usurp the throne."

* * *

Redford's pub.

There was a festive atmosphere.

People who had a lot of work ate and drank and enjoyed the overflowing joy.

drink!

"For Redford!"

bang-

hit the glass

Jacqueline opened her throat and gulped the beer with a drunken face.

It was fun.

In the process of handing out the gold coins, people held Jacqueline's hand and shed tears, saying that he was the hero who saved Redford.

A few days ago, he was only a servant.

It was a moment when a man named Jacqueline, who had been thinking about how to make a living right away, leaped into the hero Redford looked up to at once.

A hand holding a beer mug.

stained with blood

Although he saw blood in the process of attacking Count Rondon and his men, he had no regrets for his actions.

'I was just doing something for Redford.'

it was fair

The Earl of Rondon, who fell bleeding from his head, had only paid the price for having committed such a mistake.

What people say about maekookno.

Garbage, who coveted wealth while maliciously destroying rivals, would surely have taken away the country's wealth and favored it if left alone.

drank beer

People gathered around him, and everyone praised him as a hero.

"But where did the owner of the pub go?"

"What do you know? You said you can drink all the beer in the pub, so let's enjoy this moment to the fullest!

Things are getting sorted out.

The owner of the pub has disappeared.

But with Jacqueline, the most important, people didn't really care.

attack on nobles.

It was a huge felony.

There was a possibility of being arrested by the guards while in the capital, but Jacqueline and the people were not concerned about the matter.

Jacqueline is a Redford hero.

What would happen if you touched Jacqueline while those who received gold were screaming their name as if they would risk their lives for Jacqueline?

There will be a riot.

From the moment they attacked Count Rondon, the people couldn't stand it any longer.

"Jacqueline. No need to worry about guards. you saw it too When we attacked Count Rondon, even the Aura swordsmen fell without a hitch. Actually, those guys are okay. If we push ahead, even sending troops from the Redford Royal Family has no way to capture you."

Roman Dmitry was right.

one precedent.

broke the wall

As soon as the fear of the opponent they had been looking up at disappeared, they were able to do anything.

People laughed and chatted.

I didn't think about the future.

as far as now.

I wanted to enjoy a happiness that was never allowed before.

That was then.

Bump.

"Find Jacqueline and bring her to me."

A group of troops entered with the door open.

It was a moment of bliss, a moment of shattering.

* * *

The pub has become a mess.

People threw beer mugs and grabbed their weapons, blocking the path of the soldiers.

Jacqueline can't be touched!

"Damn you bastards. What have you done to us so far, have you touched Redford's hero!

Anger exploded.

Those who had already gotten drunk, before the soldiers even attacked, first swung their weapons like a deokdal.

die!

sure.

It was a steel sword.

Since it was a weapon obtained by defeating Count Rondon's soldiers, the appearance of wielding a weapon that he had not normally dealt with was quite the same.

Still, the man's face was overflowing with confidence.

Having tasted a single victory, they did not see the soldiers as a threat.

That moment.

flash.

blood splashed

As the man's sword was cut off at an angle, the man's head floated in the air.

Ahh!

"Mmm, my head flew away!"

People screamed.

single blow.

I couldn't even look at it properly, but in an instant, the man's head fell to the ground.

That's it.

People knew the situation was not serious.

The soldiers who came to the hop house were wearing Dmitry's designs on their chests, not those of Redford.

"From now on, those who block the road will be summarily executed."

it was chris

Citizens of Redford.

They did not know Dmitry's decrees.

No matter who the opponent was, he didn't put matters in his hands, and Chris, known as Roman Dmitry's right hand, was a disaster.

At first, there were people who rushed to understand the situation.

However, when even they took care of everything in the blink of an eye, people could no longer rush in.

terrified

The people who had promised to protect Jacqueline faltered, as if they didn't want to be in the same room with Chris.

The road was open.

Chris walked over and looked down at a man.

"Are you Jacqueline?"

the boundary between life and death.

Jacqueline swallowed dry saliva.

He knew that he could die, but at the memory of being held up as a hero, he proudly opened his chest.

And then.

He appeared resolute in the face of death.

"Yeah, I'm Jackle ."

wow.

"Great!"

Chris grabbed Jacqueline's hair.

As she was dragged along, Jacqueline struggled and screamed in pain.

he eventually

was just the general public.

As the pain took over his head, there was nowhere to be seen of the triumphant figure he had just seen.

Park.

thrown on the floor

Jacqueline trembled with fear.

As he looked up with swaying eyes, he met Roman Dmitry, who looked down at him.

* * *

Jacqueline.

He dragged him to the square.

He grabbed people's hair and dragged them away, and people saw him writhing in pain.

"Jacqueline is being dragged away."

"Aren't you supposed to help?"

"These bastards. How dare you touch Redford's hero!

people were outraged

At first, people who didn't know what the English language was, followed Roman Dmitry's steps and headed to the square together.

Their faces showed signs of anger.

He wanted to save Jacqueline by attacking Roman Dmitry right away, but seeing Dmitry's soldiers did not give him the courage to run.

However.

Some of them were bold.

They ran all over the city, raising their voices for people to hear.

"Redford hero Jacqueline is being taken away by Roman Dmitry! He is the one who saved us from even the Redford royal family! Everyone, take up your weapons! What happens when we touch Redford's hero, that we don't abandon our hero. Let's show it to that heinous crowd!

"Everyone must go to the square! There, Jacqueline-sama is there!"

shouted against evil.

Their cries, ignoring death, colored the terrified crowd.

People raised their arms.

Anything that can be used as a weapon if you don't have a proper weapon, or a farm tool if you don't have it

They held each other in their hands, showing poison.

I didn't know if Jacqueline died, I'd have to spit out the gold again.

It was absolutely unacceptable, so they were willing to risk their lives to protect their own safety and the hero.

Jacqueline was just a servant.

But the moment people accepted him as a hero, he became an iconic figure.

"Jacqueline! Jacqueline!"

"Jacqueline! Jacqueline!"

"Jacqueline! Jacqueline!"

People raised their voices.

Forming a group at various places along the way, everyone sailed through the square.

At the end.

There was Roman Dmitry.

Kneeling Jacqueline down, he waited for everyone to arrive.

People flocked to the square.

Seeing the crowds flocking to each other with no more time to step, Roman Dmitry recalled what he had said to the Earl of Rondon.

"Keep in mind that compassion is also prejudice. The moment you think you can help someone, they'll just use your compassion to pull them down to the bottom. Criteria for judging people. It must be based not on the circumstances of the person, but on the clear facts the Count has seen and heard. Just because the count is a good person, it is dangerous to believe that even those who have been helped by the count are good."

perhaps.

Maybe that's what he wanted to say to Yoohyeon.

looked ahead

A crowd filled with anger.

Finally.

The perfect stage has been prepared to reveal the truth.
