“that is… Actually, Lady Der’s sisters have a weakness… … .”
At Lian’s words, Julia’s face was full of doubts.
“What kind of weakness is it… ah. Excuse me. Anyway, what does that pig b*tch’s weakness have to do with the former countess’s hawk?”
“that is… I don’t know if I should get married if I do it wrong. My dream was to marry a beautiful woman like Lady Der… … .”
At Lian’s words, Julia opened her mouth wide.
‘The damn pig b*tch is playing.’
Then I suddenly thought that things could be solved easily.
The brothers are already under their own ki.
If you push me a little… … .
“Do not worry. Prince Leon. The girl will solve it for you. There’s nothing special about the power that b*tch has.”
“after… It won’t be easy. In fact, the reason I was able to make a name for myself in the war between the Ingleson Kingdom and the Serang Empire was because that woman lent her subordinates.”
“yes?! No way. The warriors of Count Der already support me.”
Half right and half wrong.
Because he hadn’t fully become the successor yet.
Whether she was naive or stupid, she mistook favor for support.
They were ready to change at any time if the successor position was shaken even slightly.
It’s not like I took an oath of allegiance.
“be careful. She’s a scary woman. They are secretly growing their power. And I know I have enough money to hire mercenaries.”
“why… when… … .”
“It must be aiming for the position of head of household.”
“eww… Have you seen such a cunning year… … !!”

Julia was so angry that she forgot that she was in front of Lian and showed her emotions.
Ryan saw it.
‘Tsk tsk. That’s why I’m not moderating you.’
His abilities are halfway there, but his personality is also that way, so when he becomes a master, he bumps into everything.
“I recommend increasing your power as much as possible. And if you can get help from your mother-in-law, get it.”
“If so… Things are getting too serious… … .”
“The successor belongs to Julia Der. Even if it attracts foreign forces, it is justified enough.”
What kind of servant would welcome foreign powers?
Of course, the people will also buy antipathy.
What is the point of antipathy from the people? It may be said, but it is not.
Horsemen are mostly from the gentry (wealthy commoners).
The main force in land battles tends to be horsemen.
“hmm… … .”
“I will be your eyes when I return from work.”
“I’d appreciate it if you would, but… … .”
“Please save me from that wicked woman. Then I will go in as Lady Der’s concubine. By the way, this ship is also mine.”
Unless you’re a wealthy count, you don’t have the luxury of being an amphibious person.
If it is used in a rebellion, it will be a headache, so the state does not approve it well.
“great. Can I call you Ryan?”
“As much as you like. Lady Der.”
She got up and walked closer to Ryan. And then kissed him on the forehead.
“Hardly Lady. Call me Julia now. We are about to become a couple.”
“yes. my Julia.”
By the time the atmosphere is in full swing.
“Captain. Time is too late.”
“Huh~ I don’t notice. Vice-Captain.”
“sorry. Captain. Still time… … .”
“all right.”
The vice-captain cut it off moderately.
There are subtle signs of convulsions on his face.
“after… That’s too bad. Julia.”
“so do i. In my heart, I wanted to confirm my love even today.”
“Please wait a minute. Until I go to Synsenrom.”
“Why the hell is Synsenrom… … .”
She wondered what going to her mother’s family had to do with the novelty.
“I can’t go into detail because it’s a military secret. We are still at war.”
Lian gave a slight glance.
The vice-captain pretends to be Patrasche’s helper.
“okay. Are you better than that? Our relationship will be known to that pig b*tch… … .”
“I might like it more. That pig hates Julia so much.”
“after. I can’t let that pig b*tch take you away. I’ll be sure to save you. Just be careful.”
“There are many sailors on the ship who support me. I will come and help you.”
At Lian’s words, Julia nodded.
‘I’m more greedy than I thought.’
Aside from being a handsome boy with a promising future, seeing him obedient to himself moved my heart.
I was also unpretentious like a child.
I’m not an adult yet, so I won’t be able to get married right away, but I’ll just have to wait a few years.
He’ll get older, but he thought it was worth it.
Especially since he became a rival with his younger brother, should I say that he burns even more?
“ruler. receive. It’s a sign I’m giving you Don’t lose it until you see it again.”
She took a handkerchief from her bosom.
The pattern of Count Der and her autograph were embroidered on it.
It is a tradition of the Isle of Ireland nobles to always carry it in case a woman gives it to a man as a token.
Of course, she is not the traditional aristocrat of Airy Island.
“thank you. Julia.”
The two of them had to part with such regret.
Wheein~!
After a while, the Going Missha began to move slowly.

Julia waved for a long time at the ship that was moving away.
“Captain. Please stop.”
“You really have no romance.”
“But Prince Leon… No, aren’t you too young? Do you want to know about the love affair?”
“no. He already has a crush on me. Ahh. cute guy. You can brag about it wherever you go.”
The percentage of nobles in the total population is small.
Aristocrats usually marry nobles, and of course, as the ratio of nobles is small, the number of handsome and beautiful women is also small.
In other words, the good looks of nobles were more valuable than jewels.
From nob le mt l. com
Julia knew this better than anyone.
Even if you don’t have to look far away, isn’t it the object of envy to the young nobles of Airy Island?
“I need to prepare more thoroughly than that. I don’t think my father will live long anyway.”
Even the priests gave up on Count Der’s illness.
At least he would live a little longer if he recuperated, but he went on a pilgrimage with his body.
Maybe he will never come back alive.
Ryan was well aware of that fact.
“Mmm ha ha ha!!!”
“Didn’t you like getting a kiss from that woman? kid.”
“Although she is beautiful, she is not really my taste. Women have to be pretty at heart.”
“Why don’t you try fixing your mindset first?”
“What am I doing?”
“What the hell is this plan? Didn’t you decide to have a side with the pig baron? Are you going to change?”
Lian laughed and manipulated the crystal ball with her feet.
Her clothes were already half loose, and her shoes and socks had long since been taken off and thrown away.
As he lived with the pirates, Lian was also colored.
“You have to raise the plate. If it’s too easy, our ransom is sh*t.”
“no way… … .”
“hehehe. told me The pig baron is preparing a rebellion.”
“under… Seriously, you have no demons. The riots never end.”
Ryan twitched his nostrils.
“I struggle day and night to feed my pirate family… … .”
“If you feed them two more times, the entire continent will go to war.”
At that, Lian smiled brightly.
“Rather than that, weren’t we supposed to borrow a flag from your mother’s family and go to the Synsenrom Empire?”
“yes. It’s meant to be.”
“Can you leave knowing when civil war will break out in Dublin?”
“Do not worry. It will be hot and ripe by the time we return. You can go and eat it then.”
At that, the vice-captain had an expression that he did not understand.
Although the Earl of Der is now away, that doesn’t mean they can’t fight a succession war between their children.
As long as the count is not dead, most of the count’s forces do not move.
“Do not worry. The god of war is preparing to smile for us.”
that was bullsh*t Because he knows when Count Der will die.
“Great. Do you know when people will die? If you do as you say, kid, you are my older brother.”
“I will remember those words. hehehehe.”
Ryan comfortably leaned back on the helms seat and steered with his toes.
It looked really peaceful. Unlike the bustling places.
* * *
The office of Count Artrone.
“What the hell is this about?”
A stout old man with white hair pounded on the desk while reading the report.
Telegram from the capital by long-distance communication.
[The Countess of Atronne will respectfully greet Lian Leon, the hero of the war against the Thrang Empire. And I will cooperate as much as possible.]
Long-distance communication magic takes a lot of energy.
Only the essentials were to be conveyed.
In short, I couldn’t figure out what the hell was going on.
“A war hero. Didn’t that guy go back to Count Leon?”
“you’re right. I took a maid and an escort knight with me.”
The attendants were very poor for the return of the heir to the count.
Only that number of people participated in the war? Furthermore.
“Isn’t Mujae a kid who never had any talent?”
“Isn’t the Count well aware of the fact that an insignificant amount of money was spent just to open the Mana Road?”
“yes. Still, I can’t give up because I’m the only grandson. How could such a child be born in my family’s bloodline?”
The Countess of Artrone was born with an aura-friendly bloodline.
Naturally, they became a family of knights who valued military power.
It was natural for Lian to fall out of favor with the head of the household, Count Atronae.
“For such a young boy to make a contribution in the war. It’s a strange thing. Perhaps the Ingleson Kingdom is playing tricks on us.”
“That won’t be it. Here in the middle of Airy Island, we are playing the role of holding the center. If we falter, Ingleson’s tightly knit grip crumbles.”
It is safe to say that Atrone’s power was the strongest on Airy Island.
However, the method by which the Ingleson Kingdom controlled the Countess of Atrone was certain.
It’s the one that was put on a leash with trade goods and customs.
Atronae was located in the heart of the Isle of Eili and therefore had no sea.
Also, the soil is not fertile, and food is always scarce.
“I used my hair too much, so I went out. Would you like to eat one?”
Thanks to that, I focused on potato farming.
“no. It’s been a while since I ate.”
“A knight needs to eat a lot to use his strength.”
Count Artrone shoved a potato into his mouth. And the moment I was about to put another one in my mouth.
“Count!! It is said that Master Rian’s rich ship has arrived at the dock.”
“Have you already arrived? for a moment! Wealth?”
The Count narrowed his eyes.
In the telegrams from the capital, the story of opulence was missing.
* * *
Atrone’s floating dock.
It was a place where floating merchant ships, sometimes overland, came to unload goods.
Being floating in the air doesn’t mean you can navigate all terrains.
Even if you can go there, you will take a route through uninhabited wasteland because it destroys things around you (houses, farmland, roads, buildings, trees, etc.).
Ding Ding Ding Ding!
Seeing the approach of a rich man in the distance, the bell rang.
“What is that?! It’s a strange-looking opulence.”
When the Going Missha arrived at the pier, everyone looked at it curiously.
Fortunately, the pirate flag was lowered.
“I heard that they are making new battleships these days. Baron.”
The adjutant answered the question of Gais Artrone, the second grandson of Count Atrone.
By the way, Gais had recently received the title of Baron from his grandfather, Earl of Artrone, and was running the estate.
The reason I came to this pier was because I had something to dispose of.
“hmm… That’s great. The liner will not arrive until evening. Aren’t they merchants too?”
“I don’t think so. As I just said, there are only new warships that look like that. It is inefficient to use as a merchant ship.”
The streamlined shape is good for maneuverability, but not so good for loading cargo.
Cargo ship owners prefer to load more cargo at once than speed or fuel economy.
“What is the warship doing here? Where was the war… … .”
Airy Island had never had a war in particular.
Taxes were tight because it was a situation similar to that of Ingleson’s colony.
It’s hard to make a living, but where is the strength to fight?
Chunk!
The Going Missha arrived at the pier. And the first person to get out of there… … .
“Lian?! Why are you out there?”
It was a pity that the toy was gone, but is it back?
I really couldn’t be happier.
