While Rommel and Cynthia were talking about memory manipulation in the bedroom, the Count and Louis were talking in the office.
The Count’s office, which no one but the Count and Louis could enter, was decorated with all kinds of luxuries like the Espera family.
“Ughhh
“Heh heh, didn’t you write all the replies anyway? The noble girls around you were very sanctified. Louis, how much did you say you missed it..”
“It’s not like they’re the only ones who approached the family based on their wealth and power anyway.”
Louis pouting his lips and complaining about the count’s words.
As Louis said, there were many people who approached him in order to be friendly with him.
It’s just that the intentions were very impure.
Louis had also seen through the minds of such people before, so he was deliberately keeping a distance.
“I had a good excuse to call the academy..Coming back to the family..I’m going to die of hardship! Papa!”
“Aren’t you also a well-known heir to the Espera family?”
“That’s all but…”
Louie takes a deep breath while drinking tea filled with honey.
Wearing pajamas made of soft material, she sat down on a chair and stretched her body.
“Your daughter must be very tired.”
The Count puts the processed documents on the table and approaches Louis with a smile.
” …Today was a very dissatisfying day. I was buried in a pile of letters all day…”
“Are you sorry that you couldn’t see Rommel?”
“Fufu!!”
Louie spews out the tea he was holding in his mouth.
As if in shock, he began to tremble as he looked at his father, the Count, with a trembling body.
” ..How does Papa know that?!”
“I made a tee like that, so how can you not know?”
” ..Nonsense. “
I thought the poker face was perfect, but…!
I mean, where the hell was the error?
Looking at Louis who was tearing his hair out and crying, the Count gently stroked Louis’s head.
“Do you really like a child named Rommel?”
” ..I felt a feeling I had never felt in my life. It was something cozy that I wanted to be with you.”
” ..is it. “
Suddenly, the Count remembered Louis’ mother, who died giving birth to him.
During the season of yellow flowers, he met and fell in love with Louis’ mother, and the two shared passionate love.
Unlike other nobles, who married without love by engagement, the Count and Louis’ mother truly loved each other.
Thanks to this, the Espera family was able to focus on commerce without any major problems, and Louis, the fruit of love, was also recognized as the heir to the Count Espera family without any noise.
” haha. “
The Count bursts into laughter while looking at the wall with his wife’s picture hanging in the office.
Her daughter, who was a newborn baby, has grown up and returned to the family with the man she loves.
Even the man was not an ordinary man in the Count’s eyes.
My hands trembled at the thought of having to entrust my pretty daughter, Louis, to an outsider.
Because he, who has suddenly turned into a wretched body, cannot be in the place of Gaju for thousands of years.
I had to hand over the family to Louis as soon as possible.
And a man named Rommel will make up for Louis’ shortcomings.
“A kid named Rommel, I did a brief background check, but the situation in the family isn’t that good.”
” ..I’ve heard about it, and I know it. It seems like an irrational family…”
“Yeah, it certainly wasn’t a normal family.”
Rommel also doesn’t seem to have much attachment to his hometown, so Viscount Griff thought it would be better to organize it sooner or later.
It’s possible that he could gain access to the wealth of the Count Espera’s family.
“I’ll have to sort it out soon.”
The future prospective son-in-law shouldn’t have a single problem, Cancer.
The Count stroked his beard to organize his thoughts on Viscount Griff.
” ..What do you think of Rommel, Papa?”
Louis looked at the Count with an anxious look and spoke.
In the past, he had already noticed that the count’s attitude toward Rommel wasn’t very good.
Because Louis also knew that the Count loved him terribly.
He had no choice but to worry that he might play a prank on Rommel, whom he had brought.
” ..a rotten bastard.”
The Count frowned and evaluated Rommel.
He dared to seduce his own daughter, though it is absolutely unacceptable as a father.
If only considering his ability, he must be a talent that cannot be overlooked as a head of state.
“However, he seems to have quite a bit of ability. A young man like that is unlikely to be common.”
“That’s right! That’s right!”
When praise for Rommel came out, Louis jumped around and liked him.
There was no reason not to dislike the praise of the man he loved.
” Hehe.. “
“Is it that good?”
“It’s so good…! How great Rommel’s balls are…!”
” ..haha. “
After that, Louis’ praise for Rommel followed, and the Count could not sleep until late in the morning listening to Louis.
********
Early moning.
Because of what happened in the morning, Rommel stayed up all night and was confused about the handling of the Second Prince’s subordinates.
To make matters worse, Cynthia is a selfish witch.
If she changes her mind and does her own thing, the plan sinks into a quagmire.
There is no means to restrain her.
So Cynthia was nothing more than a walking bomb.
“..I have to get up.”
Since an appointment had been made between Xavir and the Count, Rommel lifted himself up heavy.
“Drung, Kuwaak.”
“When did this bastard come in?”
Looking to the side, I saw that Hans was lying down while snoring.
I don’t know when he came in, but seeing him snoring, I thought he must have been quite tired.
“Let’s get ready.”
Now, all that remains is to negotiate with the Kingdom of Spesia, the Prime Minister of Levante.
I think the expression of intimidation is more appropriate than negotiation.
“Let’s go out at once.”
Leaving Hans sleeping, Rommel opened the door and walked towards the Count’s office.
To explain all your plans for the future, what needs to be done, and what you plan to do.
********
“Come here, Rommel.”
“You’re a little late.”
Upon entering the Count’s office, Xavir Sangju and Count Espera, who arrived early in the morning, sat on chairs and waited for Rommel.
The count’s eyes were red and bloodshot because he had been working on papers late, and his body was shining as if he had used expensive spices.
The two giants are already ready to hear Rommel’s story.
” Forgive me for being late. “
Rommel hurriedly took a seat.
After having a cup of tea in front of him, Rommel took turns looking at the two giants.
“..so what are your plans for the future?”
“I’m looking forward to it too.”
“From the point of view.”
After drinking tea, Rommel slowly puts down the teacup.
And Rommel’s mouth begins to slowly open.
“Minister Levante, no, I will send an official letter to the Kingdom of Spesia.”
“…An official letter to the Kingdom of Spesha?”
“Yes, we also suffered damage, and we were also damaged by pirates, so this is an official letter asking us to send reinforcements.”
Yesterday morning, I took out an official letter I had prepared in advance and showed it to Xavir and the Count.
“…Huh, if it’s something like this…”
After reading the official document once, the count’s face begins to turn earthy.
To summarize the content.
We suffered damage from pirates, and not only ourselves but also ships from other countries suffered damage.
I understand that your ship has also suffered damage recently, so let’s work together to get rid of the pirates.
was the content.
” ..if it’s something like this, can’t we just ignore it?”
“Ignore? Do you think you can do it?”
“There is something.”
” Yes, if you think about it slowly, the answer is simple. Although Espera, Java, and many others suffered damage, the members of the Spesha Kingdom did not suffer damage from pirates. You can use this part well. “
” no way..? “
The Count’s eyes widened, and Xavir tapped his knee as if he had realized something! and hit
“We’re going to use people’s suspicions!”
“That’s it. Already, the Kingdom of Spesha is looking at the outside world. In this situation, if there is a rumor that the kingdom of Spesha is behind the pirates…?”
” ..anxiety and doubt will increase.”
“Yeah, they’ll think like this. What if the pirates blow everything? If the rumors that the pirates looked after the Ottoman Empire and the Holy Ruth Empire even got into their ears, it would provide an excuse for war. It could be…”
Prime Minister Levante is an overly cautious person.
However, excessive prudence leads to excessive greed.
Being overly aware of the international situation, they have to get rid of a force they have raised themselves.
I was faced with such a contradictory situation.
“Yeah, you should have hit the short. Are you going to eat your life raw with the long?”
By now, there must have been a rumor that the Spesha vessel was buried in the ears of Prime Minister Levante.
What kind of reaction will he show, and what kind of expression will he have?
Rommel smiled happily.
