#4 Guest (4)
I had to shut the Imperial Quartermaster’s mouth somehow.
It was self-evident that the situation with such a top task and that one should not move hastily.
Once there were eyes to see.
It was impossible to interrogate him in the presence of Armin and Disha’s Quartermaster, and therefore it was not okay to interrogate him in the presence of the people of the mansion.
The key is to create a situation where you can only avoid people.
In order to do that, there was someone who had to be defeated first.
“This is Tyria Portman. Meet the heroes of the West.”
It was Tyria.
He is so thorough in etiquette that he not only gives the title of hero to the officers, but also gathers all the people in the mansion at the entrance and welcomes them.
Even in the midst of this, the appearance of briefly lowering the head is dignified.
“May I ask for an introduction to them?”
“Ah, that’s how it should be.”
Please don’t make your face look awkward.
Elric spoke to the Quartermasters while standing next to Tyria.
“My wife. He is the one who is in charge of the actual management of this mansion. Madam, these are… .”
It was human nature that we couldn’t help but be awkward when we tried not to be awkward. Elric did too.
Trying to pretend to be normal, he acted more than usual and laughed excessively.
Elric’s hand was on Tyria’s waist.
The title was ‘Mrs.
Elric didn’t know it, but it was the elements that made Tyria’s heart flutter and bewilderment.
Right after that, a skinny man like a scarecrow came forward and greeted me with a pouting mouth.
“Keuheum, Armin’s supplier.”
His gaze scanned Tyria up and down.
At that moment, Elric felt his anger welling up.
Maybe it’s because I’m already sensitive because of Polo, but every little action like that was annoying.
“Your wife is going to make a deal… .”
Armin’s supply officer looked down at Elric.
Elric replied, feeling a vein rise on his forehead.
“Haha, I don’t have any talent for this kind of thing. I am relying on your wisdom.”
“but… .”
Armin’s supply officer smiled crookedly.
That was the moment.
“Well, let’s go in now! I can’t stand at the entrance forever!”
said Polo urgently.
It was an action taken to save Armin’s supply officer, and it was indeed effective.
At least right now Elric is gone.
“Yes, then this way.”
Tyria led the Quartermasters into the mansion.
Their luggage was taken by servants, and they were headed to the restaurant.
It was difficult for Elric.
‘I have to make a gap… !’
There is a mouth like a time bomb that may explode right now, but if you go into a meal, there is no time to block the mouth.
According to the plan, they should have unpacked their luggage and visited him while he was guiding them to their respective rooms, but Tyria’s meticulousness prevented that from happening.
It was a moment when her competence was resentful.
“Meals that can be served on trains are on the poor side, so I heard that. So I culled it with fresh food, I don’t know if you’ll like it.”
“Thank you for the favor.”
Tyria was responding to them with her unique grace, as if it was not awkward to treat guests like this.
The meal was a course.
This meant that the conversation would take place here for at least an hour.
“now… Then would you like to eat first?”
Elric threw a hwadu, hoping that they would focus on eating, but it did not go his way.
This time too, it was Armin’s supply officer who stepped out.
The man’s muzzle was so light that it was at the level of flying.
“But this is a very secluded city. Aren’t you tired of living in a place like this?”
“This is where I was born and raised, so I don’t really think about it. The countryside has its own rural flavor.”
“Hmm, is that so? From what I hear, the head of the house… .”
As the arrow returned to me, Elric felt his sanity waver.
Running away from home for 10 years was Elric’s wrath.
The intention of that man who brought it up in front of Tyria became suspicious.
“All I heard was that the wife was guarding the mansion alone, but I was quite surprised to see the head of the wolf back.”
“… Not long ago.”
“Well, so I guess I didn’t know.”
It was clear that he was smiling.
It was a provocation.
Elric’s hands naturally felt stronger.
pududeuk-
The knife in my hand bent.
That was the moment.
“… It is important to experience the wide world and broaden your knowledge.”
Tyria’s hand touched Elric’s thigh.
Startled, Elric’s body trembled.
The gaze turned to her.
Tyria was looking at Armin’s supply officer with an expressionless face.
“Even while we were apart, we exchanged letters. The head of household did not neglect external studies for the development of Yeongji. I am concentrating on the inside, and the head of the household is focusing on the outside.”
It was a lie.
However, it was definitely her response.
It was impossible for Elric to manage his life without being rude in the slightest and not being radical.
Suddenly Elric felt ashamed.
What would have happened if I had not been able to hold back my anger here?
The transaction, as well as the original purpose of hiding her identity as Kasha, would all have failed.
From noble mtl dot com
Aside from being shaken by nervousness or anxiety, this attitude did not benefit Wee Bin.
A reflection came to Elric.
In the meantime, Polo stepped out.
“What is the meaning of the past! The two of you look so harmonious, so I feel better! You look good!”
Tyria’s fingertips trembled.
“… Thank you for taking good care of us.”
Polo was relieved when she gave a brief bow of her head in gratitude.
‘Ka, Kasha doesn’t seem to hate it too much… .’
Has this sorted things out?
Polo spilled Armin’s supply pipe with furious eyes.
I would have gone at least half of it if I stayed still, but what the hell was my point in poking at beehives? Anyway, like a guy who is crazy about bitches, I couldn’t make sense of my own self.
Armin’s supply officer murmured.
“Eh, not funny.”
‘Shut up!’
Polo let out a scream inwardly.
Polo clearly saw that neither Armin, who was distracted by Tyria, nor Disha’s, who was preoccupied with food, were missing.
At that moment, the knife that Elric quickly hid but was holding in his hand was folded exactly in half and lost its function.
It was a grip that gave goosebumps.
-You have such a light snout. sorry Had I met him on the battlefield, I would have twisted his neck and pulled him out.
Why does that word come to mind?
No, Polo knew.
If he spoke wrongly, either himself or Armin’s supply officer, his neck would break like that knife.
Polo trembled with fear.

The meal ended without incident after that.
The specific deal negotiations were to begin after a break, and Elric had returned to his office along with Tyria.
Bondi tried to find Polo straight away, but she called.
“house owner.”
Tyria said.
“You have been patient.”
She was looking out the window.
Elric’s head was down.
He managed to endure it somehow with her help, but the behavior of Armin’s Quartermaster still upset Elric.
I couldn’t even figure out why I was so angry.
“… he insulted you Are you okay?”
More than anything else, that question pops up.
Tyria’s gaze turned to Elric.
Elric faced her.
“I know that it is wrong for a person who has come to trade to show such insulting language to a seller. He broke his manners. If you wish, I can expel him from this estate.”
After all, it is a supplier of foreign countries.
If the aftermath had to be considered, he could have been dealt with with the help of Elbus Graham.
Elric didn’t like the situation where she had to put up with insults.
no, not exactly.
‘Have you been patient until now?’
A year after her father passed away, she felt guilty when she thought about how much more she had to go through.
In the end, it’s just ridiculous that you have to insert your own emotions in order to fully relate to the situation.
It was not easy to hold back anger because it was not purely anger for her sake, but anger toward his own bad sins.
That was the moment.
“So if you can get past it, that’s fine. However, considering that it will be the seed of trouble, shouldn’t we rule out even the slightest possibility?”
Tyria said that and approached.
Her hand reached out and placed it on the back of Elric’s hand, who was holding the staff.
“I don’t think you will know, but I’m giving you a word just in case.”
Her hands were so thin and soft that they would break if struck.
Even so, Elric felt that hand was very firm.
“A noble’s words and actions must be heavy. This is because each word and action weighs the entire estate.”
At that moment, Elric felt.
How strong a person she is and how rational she is.
And whether he is worthy of praise.
“I can’t harm the estate because of the insult I feel. At least those who lead shouldn’t.”
Knowing how to put yourself down for the sake of others was definitely a great thing.
Perhaps, even if this happened in the future, she would come up with a solution to suppress her feelings like today.
Elric couldn’t do it like her.
I couldn’t be someone like her, and that’s why my thoughts eventually branched out in the same way.
Power entered Tyria’s hands.
She says looking straight at herself.
“But thanks for caring. That was enough for me.”
With an expressionless face, it was a cliché.
Even so, the moment I heard those words, and the moment I saw her eyes, I had a thought that suddenly caught me like a thorn.
‘I… .’
If she leaves again, will she have to endure it for the rest of her life like today?
It came painfully for some reason, and it planted in Elric an emotion that could not be clarified yet.
Those guys were walking on thin ice, my god.
