Episode 142
##142
There were three sheets of parchment in total.
One of the two heirs of Count Atronae and one of Lian.
For reference, the brothers’ parchment had the same content, but Lian’s had a different content.
“I will sign first.”
“pledge
I, Lian Leon, declare in the name of Tangle that the person of Lady Julia Der will be handed over to the one who gave up the succession of Count Atrone among the connected parchments. The conclusion of the contract occurs from the moment the signed parchment is simultaneously raised.”
Lian lightly stabbed his fingertip with a dagger and drew on the parchment.
Then, the unique aura of the god of war was activated.
“I… A god of war… … .”
“It would have been impossible to make such a contract if it was not at the bishop level… … .”
The two started to panic.
It was not just a magic parchment, but a parchment with the name of a war god on it.
If you don’t, the moment you die, your soul will suffer forever.
‘also… Isn’t the title of Marquis light? … .’
‘Is this King Ingleson’s idea to prevent the Marquis from having his own dominion as his hometown?’
Rather than dissatisfaction, the two brothers misunderstood as ‘Marriage with Julia = Marquis’.
“Look through your brothers’ contracts as well. The content is the same for both of them.”
Lian unfolded the other two contracts as well.
“I give up the title of Countess of Artrone forever in the name of Tangle. The moment of signing is established when no one else can see it. After signing, no one else can see it until the contract is concluded.”
It was much simpler than Ryan’s.
There doesn’t seem to be anything to write about.
“Both of you, please sign and bring it to us by tomorrow morning.”
Then, the two of them with meaningful faces took parchments and got off the boat at the same time.
They spoke kindly to each other.
“Brother, I speak out of my old heart, know the subject.”
“Brother, please calm down. Do you know how many things you have to worry about when you become a marquis? It’s because you can’t do it with your brother’s head.”
“joy! I warn you, I really intend to give up.”
“I will give up too.”
The title of Marquis flickered in front of the two of them, so could a Count or something like that come into sight?
And sincerity had no intention of giving up the county.
‘It’s because I’m giving up, not that my children are giving up.’
A contract is a promise with God that is limited to oneself.
In other words, human affairs are not included at all.
According to human law, you can become a count at any time, so if you have a child, your child has the right to succeed.
‘I just have to give birth to a child and bring it back.’
As the only Marquis of Airy Island, all the counts nominally come under him.
Of course, the Der count family would be the only one to have direct control, but it didn’t matter.
Because vassals are obliged to pay taxes and soldiers to the higher spirits.
“okay. Let’s see what happens!”
The two brothers laughed and went back to their barracks.
Then the staff members rushed to greet them.
“How was it?”
“What’s going on? Listen everyone. Hopefully, I may become the sole marquess of Airy Island.”
“yes? What do you mean?”
I showed the contents of the contract to the staff because I only had to sign and seal it after signing it.
“this… This.”
“Why?”
“her… There is a point.”
Call it collective intelligence.
There were also people who were familiar with contracts made in the name of a god.
“What’s wrong?”
“If both of you declare waiver. Count Leon’s contract becomes null and void.”
“hmm… That doesn’t really matter. Even if it wasn’t a contract, I’d have no choice but to give it to one of our two brothers anyway.”
The two brothers did not care much.
Lian wasn’t even an Ingleson aristocrat. He didn’t even own the land.
“if. If both of you give up your cause… Count Leon… … .”
“joy! Grandpa couldn’t do that.”
The two, blinded by greed, did not listen to the advice of their subordinates.
“Then what if both of you give up? Is Count Leon making a decision arbitrarily?”
“I guess so. Then of course he will give it to me.”
“How can you be sure of that… … .”
“Because he likes me. It was he who gave me advice. If it wasn’t for that guy, I would have been beaten with my eyes open. It must have been his arrangement that the contract came into being like this.”
The contract was just a fluke and it was two people who thought Lian would have intervened for a painting like this.
So why are you so self-indulgent?
“Rather than that, can you really trust this contract? I can’t believe it’s a marquis.”
“That guy. He had the badge of the Marquess of Ingleson Kingdom. Unless King Ingleson is an idiot, there’s no way he’ll be given the title of marquess.”
Hearing that, I thought that the staff felt the same way.
“Then what do you plan to do?”
I guess the answer to that would be no brothers.
“Of course I have to give up!”
“Of course I have to give up!”
The same answer came from both barracks.
Then, without thinking long, he entered the private barracks and immediately signed the autograph.
Churrrup!
Meanwhile, Lian spread a folding sunbed on the deck of the Going Missha and sipped milk.
Next to him was a woman with a leash on her neck… … .
“I… really. Are you going to sell me to them?”
“If you don’t go to them, where are you going?”
“no way… Really at the brothel on the pirate island… … .”
“Think for yourself.”
However, it was Julia who was anxious.
“Both of them looked like their eyes were completely turned… If you give up on both… … .”
“Then my contract is invalid, so will you go to the pirate island? hehehehe.”
Hearing those words, Julia knelt down and begged Lian.
“Just that, please. Don’t rain like this.”
The brothel on the pirate island was notorious.
The problem is that, like franchises, there have been cases of opening a port in another country, and Airy Island also has a place related to pirate islands.
Pirate Island is also terrible, but what if it is placed in the window of Airy Island?
“Is that the attitude you’re asking for?”
“my… please. I’d rather make you the Marquis’ slave.”
From nob le mt l. com
Julia asked, putting her head completely on the floor.
Being a slave does not mean completely losing one’s reason.
If you accept the slave seal graciously, you don’t have to lose yourself except in loyalty.
If so, isn’t there anything different from the article?
“good. You have seniors, but you don’t have to suffer. Uncle Sebas.”
“yes. Captain.”
“Talk to Vic and prepare the slave seal. Tomorrow, if both brothers give up the title of Countess of Artrone, they can become slaves.”
“All right.”
If you’re willing to become a slave, you don’t have to go through a brainwashing process.
In fact, I had no intention of handing Julia over to my cousins from the beginning.
If Julia is raised well with sincerity, it is possible to become a top-class waitress.
If you throw away this kind of talent because your personality is dirty, it’s sewage.
Plus, her lineage isn’t bad, so you can make her the lord of a land that’s difficult to manage. You can make him the temporary governor of a colony with strong resistance.
There are times when an individual’s military power is more important than commanding ability, because if a weak governor is placed in a place where resistance is severe, he will die like a sunfish.
“But what if neither of you give up?”
Even Sebas, who usually has a heavy mouth, seemed curious.
“what. I can’t help it. I must have overestimated the greed of the two of them.”
* * *
next day.
As soon as the sun rose, the two brothers wrapped up the parchment and ran to the Going Misha.
From nob le mt l. com
Judging by the look on his face, it seems that he didn’t sleep well.
‘what… up to the leash… … .’
The two nostrils flared after seeing Julia.
Would he have imagined that the arrogant woman would end up like that?
I couldn’t contain my excitement at the thought that I would get her, who is said to be the most beautiful woman on Airy Island, along with the Marquis.
“Ugh. You are here early.”
“Can you make our cute little cousin wait?”
“older brother. Are you cute to your older cousin now? That’s great. Does Lian still look like a child?”
The two people’s eyes flew thick sparks in the air.
“ruler. then. Shall we proceed with the ceremony?”
Ryan spread the parchment he had on the table.
Then he puts the parchment the brother brought on top of it.
flash!!!
Immediately, the parchment reacted and the light emitted penetrated the three of them.
“Ugh!!”
“ah!!!”
“Huh~!”
It just happened in about a second to see.
However, the three felt like they had been to another world for at least an hour.
‘crazy. It turned.’
That other world was the world of God.
It is also the territory of the tangle.
It was like hell there.
-please… please… stop… kill me!!!
It was already a dead soul, but screams screaming for death could be heard from all sides.
The souls that were not destroyed in battle and came to the rear complained of pain where they were lost.
Nevertheless, after being temporarily calibrated, it is put into war again.
Until it expires or the period is exhausted.
-sorry. my… Please just disappear… … .
Earlier, the soul asking to be killed begged, enduring pain in front of the messenger of God.
From nob le mt l. com
Just as a wound to the soul inflicts so much pain that it cannot be compared with a wound to the body. Extinction, called the death of the soul, aroused extreme fear just by thinking about it.
“under… … .”
The three of them didn’t say anything for a while.
Hearing it in words and experiencing it indirectly were on a different level.
“then… I will check the results.”
After a while, Lian unfolded the parchment for the two of them.
“Big brother gave up… Then the second brother… I’m giving up too.”
In the end, as expected, both of them chose to give up.
“no. How good was friendship? I misunderstood something.”
“greatness. Then, to whom do you intend to pass the title of marquis?”
The eldest, not very patient, asked Lian.
“yes? Marquess?”
“Wasn’t it to hand over the Marquisate with Julia Derre?”
“What do you mean. The reason I was given an honorary marquess was to suppress the rebels?”
They were two people who made stupid faces at Lian’s words.
“Look at this.”
Ryan showed the deed from King Ingleson.
They didn’t even know that rebels had risen up in the lands to the south.
“why… what is this Then what about Julia Der?”
“I took part in Derga’s succession war as an ally and received it as a trophy? I never thought that both of you would give up your right to succeed because of a woman like this.”
The two of them felt their bones go numb at Lian’s words.
“cow… You cheated!!! Ryan!!!”
The excited first started to raise momentum.
behind it.
thud!!
Charlotte slammed her spear into the floor of the deck.
Then the momentum disappeared in vain.
“her… … .”
You might look at this and call it pre-choice anger control disorder.
However, the second was slightly better than the first.
“Did you think Grandpa was watching this?!”
“Oh, that’s a big deal.”
This time, Lian also showed a troubled expression. just inside.
‘I can give you a duke’s seat, but not as much as the Countess of Artrone.’
Because you don’t know what else they’ll do if you give these fools the land of their legitimacy.
Legitimacy comes from a land that has been passed down from generation to generation.
If you don’t give them the Countess of Atrone, their tradition will come from the halo of Lian.
“no way… Is there no solution?!”
Seeing Lian’s reaction, the two fell into deep despair.
However, breaking the contract reminded me of what I had just experienced.
“phew… first. Calm down, you two.”
“Did it look real?”
“It’s a really big deal. It was a major accident.”
Ryan smiled brightly.
“there’s nothing we can do. I have no choice but to give you two other lands.”
At Lian’s words, the two of them made absurd expressions.
“Where did they say there was land to give us!”
“It will happen soon.”
“Look at the certificate you received from the king. To exercise your authority… … .”
“The rebellion will spread.”
Ryan said with a confident face.
“no way… You mean Count Desmond responds to the uprising? It is impossible.”
“If that’s the case, the two older brothers should help me both physically and mentally. Wouldn’t that make land for the older brothers to own?”
“Of course I would do that… Would that be possible?”
