Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero chapter 187

“It’s cold, what are you wearing?”

I pretended to be okay and spoke to Laurenne. Because I thought it was better than not saying anything in an awkward atmosphere. But Lauren doesn’t seem to think so.

“What, what! What’s wrong with what I’m wearing!”

The reaction was intense.

‘Why are you here?’

Did I say something so angry that

Is it because of last time?

If so, I don’t feel a bit embarrassed.

It’s true that I did something harsh, but half of it was her choice.

If you really hated it, you shouldn’t have applied for a Dalian every day.

“Why are you so angry?”

“It’s my heart!”

“…Is that so?”

It seems that normal conversation is not possible right now. It was the moment I turned my back to go back to the palace. The sleeve was caught. Turning her head, Laurenne said with her head bowed.

“Later… talk to me later.”

“…when later”

“When you’re ready… I’ll find you.”

“You are responding so quickly to the summons. Be brave. As a man like this is his successor, the Kalita Kingdom will reach its heyday.”

The emperor smiled contentedly and said to Lorian, who knelt down on one knee. Lorian managed to resist the frown on his face.

‘You must know everything in the Prona Kingdom.’

An unequal treaty between the two kingdoms in exchange for the return of Lorraine and Lorraine.

Lost trust of nobles.

No matter how excellent Lorian’s governing power was, the Kalita Kingdom would have a hard time reaching its heyday. Even if they welcome it, they won’t even be able to surpass the pros or the realm.

Because the inequality treaty contained a toxin clause that allowed the tax of the Prona Kingdom to increase as the tax of the Kalita Kingdom increased.

The emperor also knew about it and told Lorian.

Know the subject and behave well.

With a deep burning anger in her chest, Lorrian smiled.

“Compared to His Majesty who led the empire to its heyday, there are many shortcomings.”

The emperor was satisfied with Lorian’s humble words. After a few more gilding, Lorian could be freed from the emperor.

As Lorian came out of the audience, a middle-aged man waiting outside followed him.

It was Lorian’s lieutenant, Albert.

“You did well.”

“Face doesn’t make sense. All in and out.”

“Didn’t you comply with the summons order to solve it?”

“…Yes.”

Due to his failure in the Prona Kingdom, Lorian’s political foundation was severely shaken, and his reputation fell to the ground.

Of course, as long as he is a warrior, his succession to the throne will not change, but…

It was impossible to wield uncontrolled power as much as initially planned.

Lorian, unable to let go of his desire for power, found a breakthrough in the problem in this summons.

“If it is the Demon Realm, there must be many precious things that we could not have imagined on the continent. If only you could bring them…”

“I will be able to regain my prestige that has fallen to the ground.”

This world follows the logic of power.

someone says

There are several types of power.

But it’s all bullshit, Lorian thinks.

wealth

If you do not have the strength to protect yourself from external forces, it is not as good as nothing.

Charm

If you don’t have the strength, you’ll end up just being someone’s puppet.

authority

The arrogance of that damn emperor comes from the power of the empire. The Imperial Knights… No, even if the Platinum Knights were gone, the emperor’s attitude would be much more polite.

After all, everything stems from a fundamental force.

The power to protect yourself and trample on others!

Lorian responded to the summons to go to the Demon Realm to obtain it.

To gain strength, trample over everything and rule.

“By the way… I haven’t seen her before. I heard you were in the Imperial Household…”

As Lorian mumbled, Albert drooled inwardly. He was strong in the face of criticism from the Kalita nobles, but his attitude was only related to frillite.

‘Now is the time to focus on the big business. How can you be embarrassed by one woman?’

Frillite’s prestige was too great to be called only one woman. Her family is also her family, and she herself is a warrior with excellent skills. If it had been normal, Albert would have come up with a plan so that Lorian could get closer to her rather than be in trouble.

But now is not the time.

Albert held back his breath.

“I’ll take a look.”

“Would you please?”

“Yes. That way, Lorian-sama would be more comfortable.”

Albert bowed his head and left Lorian’s side.

a day after that.

“Frilite-sama said it would be okay to meet for a little while.”

“Okay, when and where should I go?”

“After dinner tonight, you can go to his room.”

Lorian’s eyes widened.

“Hey, did she really say that to her room?”

Albert nodded his head. Lorian’s expression brightened.

“I didn’t expect hospitality, but I hope you’ll invite me to your room.”

Unable to contain his joy, he even smiled a slightly sullen smile.

Seeing his expectant expression on his face, Albert hardened his expression.

‘Is this something I’m really good at?’

He was skeptical of his decision, but then shook his head.

‘It’s better to cut off your clumsy relationship right now.’

Even Lorian would be able to endure the pain of a broken heart.

At least he thought so.

After dinner that day, Lorian headed to Frylite’s room as promised.

As he walked down the hallway, he calmly continued his thinking.

‘I thought she would hate me.’

The words and actions she had shown him during that time made him judge that way.

‘But apparently it wasn’t.’

I don’t even think it’s a state of being liked. He also has that kind of discernment. But if you invite me to your private room, you wouldn’t have any resentment.

That was enough.

Because likes can build up slowly in the future. You can take advantage of the commonality of being aristocrats. She values even the common people, so you should approach it that way.

‘I have to reduce the tax on the estate for the time being.’

I unintentionally ended up doing something good for the Youngji people, but what about it? They’re good, he’s good, and she’s good too.

As I walked with anticipation, I arrived at the front of Frillite’s room.

The knight guarding the front of her room stopped Lorian.

“This is the room of the warrior, Frylite. What is your business?”

“This is Lorian. You must have an appointment with Frilite.”

“for awhile…”

The driver went into the room to check. After a while, he nodded and left.

“You can go in.”

“It’s a lot of work.”

Lorian, who was in a good mood, patted the knight on the shoulder, congratulated him for his hard work, and then went into the room.

bright room.

Frilite was sitting at the table and filling out the paperwork. He didn’t pay attention when a guest entered the room, but he didn’t care. Because the profile of Frilite, who was absorbed in the paperwork, was very beautiful.

After looking at her as if possessed for a moment, he came to his senses and coughed in vain, revealing his presence.

Only then did Frilite’s gaze turned to him.

“Oh, I’m sorry. Stop reading more documents, even for a moment.”

“it’s okay. If you’re busy, it might be. There are more documents than that… Is it related to the Knights Templar?”

“It was a takeover.”

The answer came from somewhere other than her. Lorian’s expression hardened upon hearing the voice. I slowly turned my head in the direction the voice came from.

Cloud was lying in a sullen position on the gorgeous and huge bed.

‘Why is that child here’

Did Frilite call you to help?

No, I don’t think I’m holding a single document.

Then why is that child lying comfortably in my bedroom?

Although he was full of doubts, Lorian was so embarrassed that his mouth was still open. Cloud, who felt frustrated watching that, spoke up first.

“Don’t just look at me like that, say something. I didn’t come here because I had something to say.”

“…why are you here, isn’t this Frilite’s room?”

“I came to ask about that.”

“Is that possible! I-“

“stop. don’t shout I am tired and my head is ringing.”

Just as Lorian’s voice was about to rise, Frilite interrupted. Lorian lowered his voice as he watched her frowned and rubbed the back of her nose.

“Ah, sorry. If you look down to the dark circles, it looks like you didn’t get a good night’s sleep. I think there are a lot of things to take over.”

“It’s true that I didn’t sleep well, but it’s not because of work.”

“Yes”

While Lorian was puzzled, Cloud got up from bed and walked over to Frylite and looked at her face.

“Really. The dark circles are so thick that it wouldn’t be strange to die from overwork soon, hey.”

“Who is this for?”

Frilite rolled her eyes as if she was dissatisfied.

“…Would you like me to rub your shoulders?”

“If that’s the case, please. Let’s get a cold massage somewhere.”

Cloud put a hand on her shoulder and started massaging her with strength.

“Aww, look at how stiff it is. How united are you? It’s like this because you’re sitting all the time. Sometimes I get up and do some stretching.”

“Well, stretching doesn’t seem to be the problem.”

“…okay. I am guilty of treason.”

“I would have known.”

Frillite and Cloud, the two of them, only talked to each other as if Lorian didn’t care.

In a way, it was quite rude, but Lorian did not intervene.

I don’t know why, but it seemed that there was a wall between the two of them and Lorian.

A wall that can never be broken even if you try to break it.

Something… something is wrong.

Lorian’s eyes rolled madly in unexplained anxiety, and his eyes stopped on the bed.

Exactly on the pillow on the bed.

There were two pillows.

“ah…”

Lorian’s mind wandered. He lost strength in his legs and nearly collapsed.
