38 – 7-My dear hometown
Intention to trip me. Anyway, he’s got his toes in the battle for succession.
Of course, if it was Earl Yakhok, he would be able to get over it.
For example, by actively supporting Aidan when he is selected.
But it was clear that it was a political irrationality.

And it also means that the situation of the yak is urgent enough to throw such an irrational number and return to the territory quickly.
The invasion of monsters continues, and the number of knights available decreases.
Then, once the critical point is crossed, it becomes unstoppable like a dam with a hole.
As the number of articles decreases, monsters cannot be killed, and by-products cannot be obtained because monsters cannot be killed.
Yak Hormone people can’t even engage in their livelihoods because of the monsters.
Thus, the yak’s face is destroyed.
“At this meeting, Count Yakhok will obtain mining rights in the Gray Mountains. However, it is not something that can be used immediately.”
Miners are needed to mine, and knights are needed to protect them from monsters.
However, before the yak or shovel can properly open, the mine will be taken away by monsters.
“The wheel of circulation of goods will come to a halt soon. To make matters worse, the number of Humanity Lighthouses guarding Kelderlin Fortress will gradually decrease. They will go up to Lighthouse Village to prepare for the demonic invasion.”
So it will be after this meeting.
Yak, he listened to me without saying yes or no.
“The Count wants to find mercenaries or wandering knights as soon as possible. But he will soon realize that he can’t do that. Goods are scarce, and many of them will be pinned down by the Marquis. This is done in the name of preventing a demonic invasion. That tax you stamped at the meeting.”
It doesn’t matter because I can afford it now, but the moment the economy of the Yak Ghost, which rotates as a byproduct of monsters, is destroyed, dissatisfaction will pour out from within.
What is the Marquis doing while the monster is destroying the territory?
The tax is so high that I can’t stand it any longer.
Is this more than just telling everyone to die?
“But Your Excellency will not respond to that protest.”
Just by coincidence, the demons in Homeland will move wildly.
So that the troops in Lighthouse Village could not be removed.
“The voice of shame will soon spread to a life-and-death struggle. The people of the Yak Ghost will rather fight and die than die. You will soon become the leader of the northern rebels.”
After the meeting in Esteria Electric, the Dejewitz and Haenrel families join forces to purify those against their will.
Among the targets of the purge was the Yakhok family.
The Yakhok family, suffering from the monster invasion, is quickly annihilated by the northern allied forces.
When the Yakhok family, which guarded the gate of the Gray Mountains, collapsed, and the demons began to invade, it is still a long way off for the great demon of beasts to lead the monsters and enter the central region without any damage.
“So you’re saying that His Excellency is going to purge me?”
“To be precise, House Haenrel will instigate that. They will drive forces dissatisfied with House De Yeezitz towards you, and brand you as an impure person who throws the North into chaos at a critical time.”
“And I’ll ask your Excellency to choose between Haenrel and Yakhok. My question is, what the hell is the House of Haenrel like?”
“The House of Haenrel wants the North. You are the obstacle. Need another reason?”
To be precise, it was to cut down the northern power for when the demons descended south, and to help the monsters on leashes enter without blood.
That’s no different than saying you want the North.
I just omitted the fact that I was going to offer it to the devil.
The de Yewitz family has no reason to go against the will of the Haenrel family.
If you go all the way there, the Yakhok family is just an impure element whining in front of the demonic invasion.
Rather, it’s better to sort things out as soon as possible.
“I’d like to dismiss it as bullsh*t that builds a family within a family… But Count Haenrel is definitely a gloomy guy. If the monster invasion gets worse here, it’s a story that’s likely to happen. It’s not a possibility at all.”
It’s not a likely story, it’s the future that will come to the North in the future.
I’m trying to stop that.
Earl Yak Hock brushed his beard and thought hard about something before opening his mouth.
“First of all, I’ll be honest. I like you. You’re so smart that you can’t believe it’s your son. You bravely fought against the great demon of plague at a young age. I respect you as a warrior. I help you in the Great Hall. That’s why I gave it to you.”
It’s bullsh*t.
From what we’ve seen so far, Yak or Jung is not a man to be moved.
If he hadn’t noticed the intention of calling me here, he would have taken twice as much money for helping me.
However, Yakhok went to the main point with such rhyme.
“You can’t just throw the family’s destiny at the family. There’s no justification for me to jump into the heir race with you at the forefront, and it’s hard to win in a battle for power with the Haenrel family.”
“Are you saying you’ll help me find the evidence?”
“How do I find evidence that the House of Haenrel intends to purge me in order to take control of the North?”
“I can find it.”
It was just a matter of revealing that Count Haenrel was a demon cultist.
And I also have a detective dog, Saint Mion.
“So let’s make a deal. I will reveal Haenrel’s plans.”
“I don’t have faith, but if you can figure it out, what do you want from me in return?”
“Please play with me for a few more days. I can’t give you an afterword, but it will be useful to piss off the Haenrel family.”
Yakhok immediately understood the meaning of my words.
“Are you using you to hasten the selection of a successor? Are you even clowning around?”
“Exactly.”
“Hmm, I don’t understand. It will take time to find the evidence, but I’d rather waste that time.”
“You’ll know that later.”
“Then, there’s nothing difficult. Sword dancing is originally my specialty.”
After listening to Yak Hok’s agreement, he poured the remaining tea into his mouth.
I finally felt the sweet scent in my mouth.
In terms of time, it would be appropriate to get up right now.
To deal with the last opponent to end the day.
“Then tomorrow at the Great Hall.”
I will see you tomorrow.
I left the room with a short greeting.

Upon leaving Count Yak Hock’s room, Helga let out a sigh of relief.
“I’m glad things went well. I never thought Count Yakhok would be such a communicative person.”
“Since all the hard work is done on this side. There is nothing to complain about.”
But the one who laughs at the end will be me.
I don’t know if he knew he was caught up in the scheme.
Helga said that she just said she couldn’t stand it.
“Tell me exactly. Didn’t I have to do a lot of that hard work? I want you to know how hard it is to track someone down and go undetected.”
“Was whining before starting work taught you in the dark? Or the Knights of the Holy Cross?”
“Keuheuk, don’t talk!”
Ignoring Helga who beat me in the chest saying that she would die from being sick, I spoke to Mion.
“Mion, did something strange happen in your room just now?”
“Ummm… The knight escorting Count Yakhok kept looking at me with strange eyes. Then, when we met eyes, he turned his head away. Why was that?”
“…….”
Mion crossed her arms and stroked her chin with one of her arms as if she really didn’t know.
That article must have fallen in love with you, that a man looks at you that way when he falls in love with the opposite s*x at first sight.
What the hell did I do to this innocent child!
“Keuheum! You mean there was no dark energy? Got it.”
“Still, Bjorn-sama had some shame.”
“Shut up.”
I cut off Helga and looked down the hallway.
Now it’s about time to make an appearance.
Just then, at the end of the hallway, which turned in the shape of an ‘L’, the sound of footsteps clattering with the force of breaking through the floor was heard.
“Yes, that’s how it should come out.”
How do you not go beyond expectations?
Eileen de Yewitz, my hateful stepmother.
“Bjorn! Bjorn! What the hell have you done!”
Eileen, accompanied by only one of her escorts, grabbed the hem of her skirt and approached me with momentum.
“What did you discuss with Count Yakhok separately? Tell the truth right away!”
“Did you leave the answer? What the f*ck are you asking for without shame?”
“What, what?! What did you just say?!”
Eileen’s hand went up toward the ceiling.
I was in the mood to blow my ears right away.
I laughed hard at her.
“Are you curious? Let me answer. I showed off my family to Yakhok. He said that the treasure of De Yeevitz was between my stepmother’s crotch. The Count was cocky.”
Now, hit it.
Hit my cheek with her self-defense flag and break her pretty wrist yourself.
And howl.
Just like I did the day I broke my hand holding the sword.
“Lee, Lee! Lee Iik!!”
Eileen waved her hand impatiently.
The cheeks turned with a clicking sound.
Not my cheek, but my nanny’s cheek.
“Bjorn.”
Helga grabbed my wrist.
Only then did I realize that her hand was about to reach for the hilt of her sword.
“You seem to have problems with your education. Even so, can you still be called the head maid in charge of the children of the Djeevitz family?”
Dude, once again the sound of palms slapping cheeks spread through the hallway.
“Is it okay to act like this in the ducal family? Or are you just going to prove that you’ve been following the dirty?”
Jack, jjaak, jjak, Eileen slapped the nanny’s cheek in succession.
The nanny’s lips parted and her blood came out, and then, as if her anger was relieved, she stopped stabbing her hand.
“……Sorry.”
“We’ll see. If Bjorn shows me this kind of behavior one more time, then she’ll have to be prepared.”
Eileen looked at me and smiled softly.
I know that smile well.

That smile you made when you threw me in the stable and threw me a piece of rye bread when I was about to die.
“I’ll ask you again. Bjorn, what did you talk about with Count Yakhok?”
