“You have to come to a social party like this…”
Griff Gus, the eldest son of Viscount Griff, arrived at Count Espera with a frown on his face.
I got an invitation from the last social party, but I didn’t go there on purpose.
In addition to the chaotic atmosphere of Viscount Griff, Viscount Griff, a public official of the Empire, thought that it would be demeaning to invite a rising nobleman to the Count Espera family.
There were rumors that Espera Louie, who was the target, disappeared immediately after arriving at the family.
Griff Goose did not go to Count Espera’s social party because he was old.
However, this party was a little different.
It was because rumors had been heard that Espera Louie, who had been brimming with rumors, was participating in the party himself, and that an unknown person, trusted and cherished by the Count, would participate in the party.
It was difficult to deal with the Count directly, so Goose was going to approach a person who was trusted by the Count.
“Twitch, it’s luxuriously built.”
Gus tried to calm his heart by thinking of the humility of the nobleman, but when he saw the mansion of Count Espera, a wealthy nobleman, he felt unbearable jealousy.
If their ancestors hadn’t done stupid things, the Count and his position would have been diametrically opposed by now.
He tried to comfort himself and calm his heart, but the envy did not easily disappear from his heart.
” shit. “
There is no choice but to soothe a sore stomach by drinking the wine that the user brought to him for tasting.
“Even if things went well!”
In the eyes of the aristocrats of the imperial capital, I thought that I would be successful as a knight.
However, they only took my father’s money and washed their mouths, and Viscount Griff’s property was completely lost.
It would be possible to meet the needs by raising the tax rate of the residents of the territory as soon as possible, but even so, this loss was painful.
For himself, who should lead the author of Griff in the future, a shabby and poor family was the worst.
I had to do whatever it takes to refill the empty warehouse, even if it meant plundering the territories.
“I’m so sorry, I’ll have to go outside.”
In that sense, this party was an opportunity for Goose.
It’s said that close friends with whom we usually interact often also come here, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to find them and then wander around.
“I like it.”
However, if there is one problem.
It was his drinking habit that couldn’t be corrected even after taking knighthood classes.
He is usually quiet, but because of his crazy habit of turning his eyes when he drinks alcohol, Gus had received a prohibition order from his master.
It was heard that the count loved his servants terribly, so he had to be careful not to touch his servants while getting drunk.
“I’m going to have to be extra careful today.”
I want to drink a lot, but I can’t show my ugliness in a place where the distinguished guests are gathered.
However, I didn’t like the fact that Count Espera had sent an invitation to Viscount Griff, who was a cheeky nobleman.
I don’t know now, but Griff is a prestigious family who contributed to the founding of the empire in the past.
Goose, who had great pride in him, did not like his position as he had to keep an eye on the count.
Still, he hated his situation, which should not be seen as hateful to the Count, so he was very angry.
” shit..! “
Yeah, if it doesn’t work out, it’d be nice to go out on the street and have a drink.
Gus thought so, got up from his seat and walked outside.
With his beloved sword wrapped around his waist.
******
“I have no mind.”
Now that he’s been busy getting ready for the social party, Rommel went outside to cool off.
The purpose was for a walk, but it would be more accurate to say that he went out to examine the public sentiments of the Espera estate in the future.
If only the pirate case is resolved, the darkened Espera estate will regain its former bright appearance and become the most prosperous city in the empire.
“Hahaha! This time I’m shooting!”
“Yeah? Hey! He said he was shooting! Everyone, let’s go to the tavern!”
” good! “
For workers returning from arduous sailing work, now is probably the most comfortable time.
As I entered the tavern and watched people laughing and chatting, a feeling of comfort that I had never felt in my own writers began to fill my heart.
The expropriated Youngji people, the upper classes who are busy just filling their stomachs.
An incompetent housekeeper who pays bribes every month to impress the nobility of the zodiac.
Nobility? If you stand on top of the lives of thousands or tens of thousands, you have to take that much responsibility.
The past of living with stupid members who want to enjoy their rights and lose their duties was truly pathetic.
In the middle of saying gossip about the family like that.
” uh? “
A familiar face began to appear among the crowd.
A member of a family that has persecuted and tortured him for several years.
A person who makes you feel sick inside and frowns just by looking at it.
” ..under. “
The eldest son of the Griff family, Griff Goose, was looking straight at Rommel.
Gus had also found Rommel, grimacing and slowly walking towards Rommel.
“Why are you here? The waste of the family.”
“..why are you here again?”
“You? It’s short for the elders of the family.”
match!
Perhaps he didn’t like Rommel’s vocabulary, Goose immediately raised his hand and slapped Rommel on the cheek.
Perhaps it was because he took a knight class, Goose’s power was stronger than that of ordinary people.
Thanks to that, Rommel’s face turned to the opposite side.
“Hey.”
Rommel spit out the blood that had been stagnant in his mouth, and then stared at Goose with an oblique angle.
The emotions reflected in Rommel’s eyes were clearly hate and anger.
“Your eyes don’t die at all, I guess I’ll have to re-educate.”
Abuse and violence perpetrated in the name of education since childhood.
Fortunately, the current Rommel did not suffer direct violence because he was the possessor, but the trauma and wounds left deep in his heart made Rommel angry.
“Are you going to do that shit again?”
“I went to the academy and it seems that I lost my mind. I don’t know what you believe in, you have no talent in magic or swords, but as an older brother, I have to teach you manners again.”
thump.
Goose grabs Rommel’s collar and lifts it up while releasing his fists.
I don’t know if it’s because of Rommel’s low weight or because Gus’s power is too strong.
“If this was a Griff and not Espera, you would have been taken to the punishment room earlier. Think of it as a blessing.”
“..Ha, the idea of the chosen people is still ingrained in them. They’re like assholes.”
“His mouth is so cute.”
puck!
Gus throws Rommel to the floor, wondering if he can’t hit Rommel.
Whether he was conscious of the gaze of others, he couldn’t possibly reveal the wealth that was happening within the family.
“Know the subject, idiot. I don’t know why you came to Espera, but it would be good not to go around saying that you came from Viscount Griff. You, a shame of the family, are the abominations of Viscount Griff.”
“I didn’t even want a family like that.”
” ..to the end. “
As Rommel continued to annoy Goose, Goose frowned and raised his fist again.
“What’s over there?”
“Do you think we’re fighting now?”
“Raise your fists on a happy day? Heh, I think he’s a nobleman.”
When a quarrel between brothers broke out in the middle of the road, eyes gradually began to gather towards this place.
Gus was also conscious of his gaze, lowering his fist and releasing Rommel.
“Those bugs saved you.”
“Damn it, see you later.”
Rommel consistently raises his middle finger while spitting blood.
It was Goose who almost lost his reason for a moment, but as people’s eyes were gathering more and more, he swallowed his anger and had no choice but to retreat.
wow.
Although the sound of grinding teeth could not be hidden.
“The moment you show up at a social party, think you’re dead.”
“Namisa.”
” ..her. “
Goose now gives a twisted smile somewhere and hides in the dark.
“See you later. You bastard.”
“Just go out and search.”
Rommel smiled slowly, staring at Gus who had disappeared into the darkness as if dying.
He deliberately did not say where he was in Espera.
The best way to eat meat is after it has undergone sufficient resting.
What kind of expression will Gus make when he sees Count Espera caring for him?
Even just imagining that much, an intolerable pleasure began to surge up.
The wind was blowing gently, and the eyes were focused in this direction.
The plate was laid.
The knights protecting the count were also coming here.
With the important party ahead, the issue of security within the territory was a problem that had to be resolved.
If an unfortunate thing happens in a yard full of distinguished guests, you will not have any prestige.
“Are you okay?!”
“Yeah, that’s fine.”
Perhaps one of the knights recognized Rommel, and Rommel was attached, and Rommel also deservedly accepted his escort.
“I’m going to be the count.”
” ..Yes, I’ll call the doctor right away.”
“Thanks for the convenience.”
Rommel enters the castle with the escort of a knight.
His face was full, but his face was smiling brighter than anyone else.
