Episode 91 – Do you have anything to say?
91. Do you have anything to say?
A conference room of the Asonia family.
A beautiful twilight colored the interior, signaling the beginning of the night in the archipelago.
A total of 10 people were sitting at a large rectangular table.
“······.”
First of all, it was Cheren, the eldest daughter of the Asonia family, who took the head table. As usual, she had her arms crossed and maintained a cold expression.
“””······.”””
Seated on the left were the five central nobles, led by Count Wendel Borsha.
Someone was trying to suppress the fluttering corners of their mouths, someone was trying to straighten out their narrowing eyebrows, and someone was trying to keep their twitching cheeks still.
So, everyone is feeling uncomfortable, but they are holding on tight.
“Well, well. Alalalala-. Arrr-.”
The person who was turning their stomachs in real time was Leon, sitting in the center right. He was wriggling his face and making strange noises, releasing his mouth and tongue.
Leon’s behavior was a little different from his usual behavior.
She wore uncomfortable but dignified clothes that she normally would not wear, and with the help of her maid, she neatly styled her hair.
With that alone, his seemingly innocent appearance transformed into a confident nobleman.
The one sitting here now was Leon Crusiv, the third prince of the Crusiv duchy.
There were two beautiful girls to the left and right of Leon. Celia and Aria came with Leon, paying a little attention to their attire.
On one side is Celia, the princess of the Duke of Helbridge.
On the other hand, even if Aria just sat quietly with her mouth closed, she felt like a noble lady. None of the nobles to her left thought of her as a commoner.
And the last one.
“······.”
Lemon’s eldest brother, Lehman, a member of the Crucif family, also attended.
He gave the impression of a vast lake. He was calm, serene, and heavy. He was also one of the reasons why the nobles who came to him in a fuss couldn’t open their mouths.
Soon, Leon spoke.
“Nice to meet you all.”
The figure of him sitting with his legs crossed, his arms resting on one of his armrests, and his back tilted. There was a relaxed atmosphere.
“As you can see, my name is Leon Crusiv, who visited the islands this time.”
“I have heard the name of Young master, who is rising to prominence. “My name is Count Wendel Borsha.”
It was Count Wendell who spoke as a representative. He had the most calm demeanor among the nobles.
Of course, regardless of the outside, the inside was burning with heat.
Kendrick, the son who had never been touched in his life, was beaten by that guy and came back as a rag. It is said that because emergency measures were delayed, both legs would become completely damaged.
This was the same for the gang with Kendrick. Their calves, which had been trampled to dust, were difficult to repair even with high-ranking priests.
“Something unpleasant happened this time.”
Asshole maker, Leon said.
“—To me.”
There was silence in the hall. The nobles on the left were momentarily dazed and just blinked.
“······Young master, what does that mean?”
Count Wendell was the first to come out of shock. Even in this situation, he showed the appearance of a seasoned politician who did not raise his voice.
Leon began to move his released mouth.
“Today was a really good day. The sky was clear and the wind was warm. It was a commemorative day, the first day of the tour of the system. “As a swordsman, I cannot express in words how excited I was to join the famous swordsman Asonia family.”
Instead of using quick sword techniques, he performed kwaeseol techniques (快舌術). In other words, he used his tongue very quickly.
“When I arrived here, with my heart pounding, I headed to the training center of the famous Asonia family. After looking around the training center with a lot of admiration and admiration, I entered the training room and practiced my sword in a good mood. Meanwhile, my sword suddenly started shaking like a lantern in the wind.”
He was talking incessantly, but without warning, he screamed.
“Oh my God, Joohyang! That was the main flavor! The terrible smell of alcohol hit me like the heavy rain that day in Freeville! Unbelievable! “The smell of alcohol in a sword training center!”
And he didn’t forget to subtly mix his majors.
“I was in a daze and saw an even more shocking sight!”
His blood-red eyes were shining with madness.
“The swordsmen rush at me without question or answer, swords drawn!”
One of the nobles closed his eyes tightly.
“They were fast! Swollen muscles and veins rising to the face! Dilated pupils! It felt to me like I was completely ready to fight!”
Leon suddenly lowered his voice.
“At first, I thought they were trainees with a strong desire to win and excessive motivation. And he showed generosity despite the rudeness of swinging a sword at random. Obviously, I’ve warned you several times. I have no intention of fighting. “If I put our swords together, you wouldn’t be able to get past ten.”
“······.”
No matter who I bring, they won’t be able to argue with that statement.
He is the head of El Prime Academy. He is a man with the best skills among martial artists of his age.
“Oh, Artius. Their eyes had already lost their sense. “Only bizarre laughter and screams came out of the open mouth.”
Exaggerated hand gestures and speaking style, like an actor in a play.
“First, I tried to subdue him. I tried to make him faint, but strangely enough, really strangely, he wouldn’t faint. “At this time, they showed clear murderous intent and hostility toward me.”
Leon deliberately repeated the word strange twice to emphasize it. He was watching closely the changes in the other person’s expression. His mana-infused eyesight captured subtle changes in facial muscles.
“How much longer do I have to endure? I ended up breaking my leg. “It’s amazing to see him swinging a sword while lying down even though he can’t walk.”
“That’s it!”
Leon’s voice was cut off by someone’s growl.
Boom!
“Does that make any sense now! “I keep listening and listening, but I don’t know the end!”
One of the nobles hit the table and threw a fit. Guien’s father was Viscount Tulen Anbers.
“What?! Do you rush in first with a knife? Aren’t you fainting? Aren’t these all Young master’ claims? Even if all of that were true, is it right to turn people into that type of person? “My son is suffering from convulsions to death right now!”
Tulen shouted in great excitement.
It was then that a voice like frost fell.
“Viscount.”
At the head of the table, Cheren muttered coldly.
“I hope you will lower your voice. Now, you seem to have forgotten where this is.”
The prayers she secretly shed were filled with anticipation like a blade.
“······!”
Viscount Tulen trembled and closed his mouth.
“Viscount Tulen.”
Leon leaned towards him with a smile.

“······I am listening.”
“So are you saying that I’m lying?”
“That…!”
“hahahaha. The system is a really fun place. “When you see absurd things happening several times a day.”
“What I am saying is, please pass by.”
“Excessive? “Are you sure you don’t know what throwing water at me means?”
“What, suddenly! “What a living water!”
“If holding a real sword and trying to cut someone down is not lifesaving, what is it? That too, against a large number of people alone? He didn’t even try to communicate, didn’t listen to warnings, and showed fighting spirit until the end even though he was subdued? Although I am not familiar with imperial law…”
“······.”
“Isn’t this a situation where it doesn’t matter if you kill me on the spot?”
“Young master!”
“Nevertheless, despite discomfort and threats, I just suppressed him. But you don’t even know the grace I gave you, and now you’re going to make me out to be a liar? Do you raise your voice and get angry? Are you having trouble understanding the situation?”
Viscount Tulen’s face turned red as if it were about to explode.
It was Count Wendell who came to the rescue.
“Young master is right. “I am grateful for the deep generosity shown by Young master.”
And he readily gives recognition and gratitude. Unlike Viscount Tulen, he was good at controlling his emotions.
“But isn’t it true that there is no physical evidence? Did you see anyone around? Even under imperial law, as Young master said, summary disposition without clear evidence is impossible.”
“Who said there was no evidence?”
“?!”
Count Wendell’s eyebrows twitched.
Tap!
Leon placed an object on the table.
It was a small ampoule containing black powder. The amount of powder in the ampoule was all slightly reduced.
“This is something from them. “He held each one preciously in his arms.”
Finch!
Leon’s keen senses sensed that the nobles in front were agitated.
He grinned and looked at them one by one.
“Looking at your reaction… It seems like you know what this is?”
“······.”
The corners of Leon’s mouth rose as if mocking him.
“Do you have anything to say?”
