CH 22

“She’s chatting with your boss in his room.”

Sylvano, who stretched his legs out of bed, was caught by Guillermo.

“Sylvano. I don’t know what you’re going to do, but it would be better if you stop thinking about it.”

“Let go! A guy who doesn’t even have a family house would never understand!”

“So you want to die with the family house?”

When Sylvano’s shoulders flinched, Guillermo clicked his tongue.

“Wake up. The fact that 『Her Majesty』 isn’t normal, Sylvano, you probably didn’t know either.”

Sylvano rubbed the palms of his palms against his face, which was red as if he wanted to cry.

“D*mn. How did something like that roll into our organization!”

“Ehem. Well. It’s not that I don’t understand what the Consilieri feels, but I’m envious of you too. You. You were incredibly lucky. You know?”

Guillermo’s argument was correct. Thanks to Blanche, the Giotto family ended a humiliating peace treaty overnight and became the rulers of the Eastern sector.

Sylvano, who looked twice as old as his peers because he had devoted his youth to bad things, looked at the boy.

“I know, you b*st*rd. I know it well, so tell me about what happened during the day.”

Guillermo smiled faintly.

“Yes? You passed out, old man.”

“D*mn, I know I passed out in an unsightly way! What happened after that! Did you really need me to say it?”

“Uh-huh! That’s right, you passed out on the spot! It was so funny!”

Guillermo laughed like his belly button would fall out.

Sylvano had no choice but to put on a horrified expression.

“I am done now. The criminals of Digitalis will look down on me!”

He wanted to go back to before he fainted, even if he had to pluck his eyes out.

Guillermo couldn’t stop laughing.

“If that’s the case, don’t worry, Sylvano. You’re not the only one who passed out in front of everyone.”

“Ah. There were guys from the Miele family too. They’re probably in a mess by now.”

The strongest family in the South, who lost not only the boss and members of the organization, but also their property in one day. It was clear that war would not cease in the Southern region for the time being.

Silvano snorted through his nose.

“That Blanche girl! If she was going to make this much trouble, she should have discussed it with me first, the Consilieri! D*mn! It was a great opportunity to eat the South as well as the East!”

“Wow. Old man. Aren’t you too greedy?”

“By the way, you keep calling me old man? Hey! Didn’t I say I’m still in full swing?!”

“Yes you did tell me~”

“You punk! Get out of my room! You too, go steal the Miele family’s treasures!”

Guillermo closed the book he had not read since Sylvano woke up.

“I’m not that st*pid. The idiots seemed to think that Blanche’s second order was a punishment to the Giotto family, but I did not. Old man.”

“Hmmm.”

“Kki kki. Look. You know, old man. Blanche has a plan.”

Sylvano rubbed his throbbing temple.

“She did a lot of things, what does that girl want to do to the city.”

Guillermo’s amber eyes twinkled. Unlike Sylvano, he showed signs of excitement.

“Wasn’t 『Her Majesty』 wonderful today? Besides, she said it with her own mouth. She wanted chaos. Hi-Hi. If she’s gonna be my girl, she would have to be like that!”

It seems that Guillermo was really attracted to Blanche. If not, he wouldn’t have shouted, ‘That power! That spirit! So hot!’

Sylvano gave Guillermo a look that said ‘pathetic’.

“Why don’t you wipe the white runny marks left on your nose while saying things like that? And don’t cross the line, you b*st*rd! Blanche will marry our Ricardo! Whether it’s a man or a woman, his body and looks are the best among all!”

Guillermo grumbled, perhaps embarrassed.

“Once I move, should I wash up everyday?”

Sylvano’s two cheeks were grumpy.

“Are you moving too? Where?”

“Aren’t you going to follow 『Her Majesty』 to the Scusa’s former Family House?”

“Hey!”

“Keep your voice down, Sylvano. I’ve already gotten permission from your boss.”

“Even if you’re moving in, I can’t possibly live with you under the same roof!”

But Guillermo was still relaxed. That’s what it was. He had a point of belief. Also, the source of Guillermo’s confidence was not Illia’s permission.

“You can’t live? How are you going to cover the vast Eastern sector? Aha. After winning, you seem to be abandoning the West together with all your regrets?”

“Are you crazy, you bastard? The Giotto family is an organization that has ruled the West for 100 years!”

If there were strong families like the Scusa and Miele in the East and South of Digitalis, the West would be a land of opportunity to wage war on.

The North was a barren land, full of pr*stit*tes and orphans.

Guillermo smiled mischievously.

“Then there’s your answer. Don’t you think so? Right now, the Giotto family has to borrow the power of a rookie like me.”

It was true, but Sylvano was not going to back down easily.

Sylvano threatened.

“Stop playing tricks and get lost. We have 『Her Majesty』 that you like so much. Huh. I’ve already figured out everything I need to know. Blanche overwhelmingly smashed Amerigo, right? Then it’ll be safe for a while! Besides, all the crazy people in the city have turned their eyes to scramble for the treasures by now, so there’s nothing lacking from this side!”

Huh, Guillermo snorted.

“You’re more naive than I thought, Sylvano. Do you believe in 『Her Majesty』 like that? How long do you think a strong person like 『Her Majesty』 will be under the Giotto family?”

“At least, she won’t be taken away by the likes of you.”

“You have to look at it with the short and long terms in mind. You watch. Because of this body’s overflowing charm, 『Her Majesty』 will soon become my woman.”

“Annoying b*st*rd! Hey! How old are you this year?”

“19 years old! What do you think? Compared to Old Man, am I not just the right age?”

“Hmm. Seeing how your head thinks, it’s understandable why your organization is so popular.”

It was a sarcastic remark, but to Guillermo it only sounded like a compliment.

It’s because if he’s done something really stupid, the Giotto family’s Consilieri was the kind of person who would say, “Well done.”

Guillermo chuckled.

“Hey. After living for a long time, the day will come when I will be recognized by the Giotto family’s Consilieri. Huh? Where are you going, old man? Are you going to eat?”

Sylvano, who suddenly grabbed the doorknob, screamed.

“Am I supposed to report my every action to you?”

“Are you going to your boss? At this point, tell our wonderful 『Her Majesty』 that this Guillermo has perfectly fulfilled the order to take care of Sylvano~”

“Get out!”

Sylvano shouted for him to leave, but it was himself, not Guillermo, who left the room.

Sylvano strode across the hallway. Perhaps they were already in the midst of preparing to move as everyone in the organization was busy putting things in boxes.

Finally, standing in front of Illia’s bedroom, he swallowed his anger and knocked on the door by slamming his fist.

“Hey, it’s me! I’m coming in!”

So Sylvano entered without permission. He saw Illia sitting on the bed and Blanche standing far away from him.

For some reason, the atmosphere between the two of them was quite harsh. What’s going on? It wouldn’t be strange if a fight broke out right away.

Of course, if there was a fight, the winner would be Blanche.

Sylvano blinked blankly.

“What. What’s with the mood?”

Illia sighed.

“Sylvano. Look over there.”

As soon as he followed the boss’s hand gesture, Sylvano ran to the scene and sat down. The wall, which had been decorated with stuffed animals and statues, was a mess.

In particular, Sylvano screamed when he saw the statues of six human heads that filled the bottom row were broken as if they had been hit with a hammer.

“Who did this? Who would dare do this to our bosses-!”

In his astonishment, Blanche nodded her head with a determined expression.

“It’s me. I did.”

“What’s wrong with you again this time!”

“I can’t bring such abominations to the house I’m moving to.”

Sylvano lamented, stamping his feet at the water already spilled.

“Illia! What were you doing not stopping the situation that it got to this point?!”

“Do you think Blanche would have listened if I tried to stop her?”

“But you should have told her how important these people are! Blanche! Maybe it’s because you don’t know, but these people are the former bosses of the Giotto family! In the future, Illia’s sculpture will also be erected next to these… Arrggh! Illia! Why didn’t you at least stall for time until this Consilieri woke up!”

Blanche casually seized Illia’s opportunity to speak.

“It’s okay. Sylvano. I wouldn’t have listened to you either.”

“Arrggh!”

Sylvano forgot his age and began to tap dance in a fit of rage. He didn’t miss a beat as he jumped in place.

After a while, he regained his composure, reminding himself of Blanche’s overwhelming power.

“Blanche. Speaking of which, let me ask. Why are you trying to burn our family house down?”

“One of the members harmed the whole city, so I thought it would be quiet if I did this much.”

Sylvano breathed fire from his mouth once more at her attitude that seemed to be talking about other people’s affairs.

“That was your fault!”

“Yes it was.”

“Besides, you also have the right to immunity from becoming 『Her Majesty』.”

“Yes.”

“But why the hell?!”

“The Scusa Family House has hot water. We need to install water pipes here, so until when should we wait?”

“Is that so?”

Sylvano, tearing off his hair with both hands, seemed like he would be able to chew and swallow steel right now. But what kind of a man is he? Has he become a man whose bones are made of steel?

After a while, he became a gentle dog in front of the absolute powerhouse, Blanche.

Most of all, he was very concerned about the icy atmosphere between the two people in front of him which still hadn’t dissipated.

Sylvano asked.

“Okay. So what were you talking about now?”

“Not a big deal. I just turned down Illia’s offer. Right?”

As Blanche blinked, Illia calmly nodded his head.

“Yes.”

But Sylvano knew. He realized it.

Even if he did a handstand, this atmosphere was not nothing!

Needless to say, unlike Sylvano, Illia had accurately grasped the situation.

Illia thought.

‘If things progress the way they’re going, we will never be able to control Blanche.’

In an instant, a sharp light passed through his cold eyes.

‘I need a chance to break Blanche’s spirit.’

Sylvano had no choice but to move on.

‘Since they both decided that it’s nothing special, it seems that they agreed to cover it up like this.’

Sylvano made a face that looked like he was tired and dying.

“Okay. Don’t fight with each other. Just don’t.”

‘Because then I’m going to be in a lot of trouble,’. He gulped down his throat.
