Returning to the Count’s family, I went straight to the Count.

“What is going on?”

“Please allow me to live with Count Warrug.”

At my words, the count’s feather pen, which was signing the papers, broke.

His brow furrowed as he raised his head and looked up at me.

“Suddenly it… See what happened.”

Seeing my face, the Count fell silent.

I was in a hurry. Ahar continues to grow stronger even now, but am I the only one who is stagnant?

At the very least, before meeting Ahar, he had to develop a sword master or equivalent power.

And to do so, sparring with the mercenary king was not enough.

I needed more opponents, and I needed to experience the swordsmanship of someone who uses the same sword as me.

‘As much as Count Warrug is a sword master, there are many things we can learn from him.’

Although the Mercenary King is a master like Count Warrug, he uses his fists and I use his sword.

No matter how much there is a saying that it is a noble species, it is a story when you have some skills.

If you learn this and that from the beginning, you will become neither one nor the other.

It’s not just about digging a well.

In that sense, Count Warrug can help me in many ways.

It is strange that he is not helpful because he has experienced war once.

“What is the reason this time?”

The Count hadn’t already refused.

I’ve been like this a few times already, so I know I’m not the kind of person who won’t do it if I say no.

“I want to become stronger.”

He plainly stated the reason.

But I guess it was too plain.

“Isn’t it enough that you went to the north last time? Moreover, although annoying, the mercenary king is also here. Do you still have to go see Bane?”

“Yes.”

“I get it.”

The count gave permission more easily than he thought.

It was so easy that I was embarrassed to be the one who asked for it.

“What are you so surprised about? Did you think I wouldn’t allow it?”

“To be honest… Yes. I thought you would say no at least once.”

“If it was original, it would have been. But it doesn’t mean that you won’t go because I refuse, and you will go anyway, so there’s no need to waste your energy.”

“okay.”

He nodded.

He understood me to some extent, so this was comfortable.

As he said, I will go even if he tells me not to go.

I can do anything to live.

Even if it meant going against a king or an emperor.

“I will tell Bane. Go through the gate tomorrow.”

“thank you.”

“I hope you get good results. I think I would be angry if my son was treated the way he did back then.”

He must have been worried about what happened then, and as he spoke, a ferocious spirit emanated from his body.

“The knight commander must be sad. I was gritting my teeth to teach you a sword… .”

“what did you say?”

“It’s nothing, go back when the business is over.”

“Yes.”

As he said, there was no more business.

I left the office and headed to my private room.

‘Ah, come to think of it, I’ll have to tell the mercenary king.’

But I don’t know if it will be okay.

He didn’t seem very friendly with Count Warrug.

Considering Bane’s reaction, it was rather bad.

However, if I said I was going to Count Warrug, and that it would be there for quite a while, his reaction was obvious.

I’ll shout out loud and tell you not to go.

“Why on earth are you going to such a place!”

And that prediction was exactly right.

It was only natural that sparring with the mercenary king would become difficult once he went to Count Warrug.

So, out of courtesy, I tried to give him a word in advance.

“I am against it! It’s against death!”

However, the reaction was a little more intense than expected.

“But I can’t sparring with you forever.”

“Why? I love it!”

“I hate it. Did you know that there are many kinds of side dishes? Because one thing is not enough, there are many things.”

“Are you saying I’m tired now?”

“It’s not that I’m tired of it, it’s that I want to experience a variety of things. You’ll get what you don’t get from you, who only uses your fists.”

“That means you’re tired!”

He said he was sulking and turned away from me.

He scratched his cheek, stared at him for a moment, then shrugged.

Whatever he said, my mind was already made up.

The Count was not happy to let her go, so he even prepared a seat for her, but there was no reason not to go just because he told her not to go.

“Yes. Then, have a good time at work.”

“Wait a minute! Is it a real store? Leave me like this?”

“Then what should I do?”

“Can’t you just say something and think about it? What did I come here for!”

“I never asked you to come.”

“uh… That’s right.”

He scratched his cheek with an embarrassed face.

I never called him. I never thought of calling him in the first place.

he came to know

What do I mean by that?

“Still, you still have affection up to this point.”

“I am saying this with that feeling in mind. If there was no affection, I left without saying anything.”

I’m not friendly, so I had no reason to tell you this.

At my words, he looked at me with a moved face.

He is a very easy-going person.

“So are you really going?”

“Yes.”

“How long will you be there?”

“I plan to stay a little longer.”

“Um… I got it once.”

Knowing something, he nodded with a serious face and left the seat.

***

The morning was bright.

I was in good shape because I had a good night’s sleep.

There was nothing greasy, and I felt refreshed.

My heart was pounding strangely at the new thing.

Since Alice said she would take care of things like clothes, I just had to move my body.

Now let’s go and learn properly… .

“Bocchan, the Count is looking for you!”

It happened within 5 minutes of thinking about it.

At the butler’s call, I frowned and headed for the office.

“What happened?”

“Come and sit down.”

It seems to come here quite often.

Most of them were due to the Crown Prince’s contact.

-Five. How are you Raymond?

It was the same this time too.

“Yes. long time no see.”

We met only two days ago, but he nodded.

-How come you don’t look happy?

“no. Very nice to see you.”

-yes? Nice to meet you too

The Crown Prince was smiling.

It wasn’t until I sat on the couch that I realized that there was something missing in that smile.

“What’s going on?”

-Work? A lot of work. This is why I contacted you.

As the head of the house took a sip of the tea, the Crown Prince continued.

-The Lucius Gun is well finished. There are so many evidences of his corruption that I think he could get a life sentence.

“That is fortunate.”

-I want to beat the death penalty right away, but when I think about it, death seems like a luxury to him. I plan to roll it every day to the point where I feel like I’d rather die.

“I believe you will do well.”

-You should do well. It’s a worm that eats the country. Write if not

As the objectionable being disappeared, there was no need to worry about that aspect.

-I thought about it in terms of compensation, but I want to give you land, but the royal atmosphere is chaotic right now, and you have the name Millennium to give you a title. So I’m thinking of rewarding you with money. Don’t be offended.

“Thank you for caring me.”

It was good so far.

As he said, he didn’t want to get a title right now.

It is difficult to obtain a title or to have a personal estate.

At least now I don’t have time to worry about that.

‘No. Do I really need to care about that? I have Daria.’

Since Youngji, I thought of her who has the power to attract talented people.

Since she was actually building a kingdom in the future, she should be able to manage at least one small territory without difficulty.

Furthermore, you will be able to receive help from the count, so it can be of great help in creating your own forces.

‘I’ll have to think about this.’

The title can be made under the crown prince, or even the viscount can be appointed with the individual authority of the earl.

Since he has a lot of wealth, it is not difficult to increase the power of the land.

– The reward was this. How did you find out about the raiders? I heard from the Count that the head of the secret society is a man named Knox.

“Ah, I have something to say about that.”

-right. I thought you would have figured something out.

Not only the Crown Prince, but also the Count were interested in those words.

All the Count knew about Knox, that’s all.

Other than that, little was known.

Looking at it, you can see how good William’s information gathering skills are.

‘It’s not called the information king for nothing.’

Despite the fact that he had just begun to have an intelligence network, he had an ability to collect information that surpassed that of a count or crown prince.

Looking at it, I thought that he hadn’t left the kingdom for nothing and even the emperor of the empire had requested him.

‘Since this guy is with Mahol, it’s understandable that Ahar is suffering.’

There was no way he could win because he pushed his opponent with overwhelming intelligence.

“The name of that organization is Terris… .”

I summarized the information I had heard from William and told only what was necessary.

-Hmm, indeed… .

Listening to my words, the Crown Prince occasionally nodded.

“Are those guys this good at information? It wouldn’t hurt to meet him once.”

I thought I could hear the earl muttering vaguely, but I ignored it.

William wasn’t doing the work for free, and in order to commission him, he had to pay a fair price.

“… That’s it.”

– That’s good. Certainly you are trustworthy. Seeing how well you figure out what you didn’t entrust. Why don’t you be mine?

“My answer is always the same.”

-That’s too bad. What do you think, Count?

“I respect Raymond’s opinion.”

– Well, I guess.

The crown prince nodded his head with a face of anticipation.

The playful atmosphere disappeared for a while and started to become serious.

The Crown Prince opened his mouth in a heavy atmosphere.

– This time things got a little tricky.

“What is it?”

-You know we belong nominally to the Empire, right?

“Yes.”

-So, the royal family used to visit the royal family often, but this time, one of the royal family came to visit.

“… So?”

For some reason, I became more and more anxious.

Why are you telling me about going to the royal family?

Most of the time, bad things happen when you say things like that.

-The third prince is coming.

“… .”

-And the third prince likes Daria.

“Sigh… .”

A sigh came out.

I guessed what he was going to say.

‘I’m coming to the Millennium Countess to meet the princess… .’

-They said they were going to the Millennium Countess to meet the princess.

oh sh*t

Why is my premonition that it will be troublesome not wrong?
