I am inheriting the family head-1
“Isn’t your schedule in the South almost over?”
“Perhaps. Because the mages have been postponed until later.”
“I’m a little sorry. Originally, the purpose of coming here was to become a wizard.”
When the regretful Adrian said that, I also nodded in affirmation.
The reason why the original purpose of investigating the wizard was canceled was because of the movements of the different races.
Originally, they should have been quiet at this time, but they suddenly moved, so the schedule originally scheduled for one month ended in two weeks.
After hearing that someone had used the relic, Mirazen went back to the imperial family, leaving only Adele and Adrian behind.
Even that was on the way back now.
Anyway, considering what I had to get here in the South, I think I got it all.
He succeeded in securing the artifacts to give to the crown prince, and gained Adrian’s support, which was more important than anything else.
At least as long as Adele and Adrian are on my side,
By using the power of the Church and the North, it could be used to stabilize Taylor after becoming the head of household.
It was rather an advantage that the schedule in the south ended quickly.
Doesn’t it mean that Yuria can strike first at an unexpected point?
Even if I thought I would notice soon, it was still clear that YuRia didn’t know about my return.
It was a time when spring was not too close to say that winter was over yet.
It wasn’t long after the New Year, when things got messy.
In this situation, if YuRia moved first, there was a high probability that she would become a self-infestation.
The power Yuria possessed under the name Taylor was by no means small.
Some kind of ‘number’ was needed to overturn this whole situation at once,
Even if he succeeds in that, he is not guaranteed to become Taylor’s family head.
That’s why I intentionally leaked about my movements to YuRia.
I hope my ankles are caught by the possibility, and if it’s not, I hope I completely ignore whatever I use.
I hoped it would be the latter if possible, but I learned from Leonald’s report that YuRia was quite concerned about my movements.
‘If this happens, there’s only one thing I have to do.’
To the maximum extent possible, clearly revealing my intentions through my circulation.
The mere fact that the saintess and the grand duke were with me was enough to make me uneasy.
I’ll be able to make a more accurate judgment after seeing Renald’s report next time.
Wouldn’t this movement alone be slowly giving me victory?
It was okay to still take some time off.
At least until I set foot in the center, isn’t there anything I can do right now?
It was enough to wait until the news he had been waiting for came.
I felt the eyes on me, lost in thought for a moment, and when I turned my head, I realized that Adele was looking at me.
“…Do you have anything to say?”
“No, I just watched it for a while. Because I have to go back to the North now. When will you come next time?”
“I do not know. I’m probably going to be pretty busy until summer.”
I’m going to beat YuRia and become the family head. Even so, the first priority was to get support from others right away.
And if you think about stabilizing… it will take at least a few months.
Delivering artifacts to the crown prince and approaching him was also a problem.
When I was in the South or North, I could say that it was comfortable in many ways.
There were so many things that made my head hurt when I came to the center, so I knew very well that I really didn’t have much time left.
Adele, who frowned when she said she didn’t know, swallowed her saliva when she said that she would be busy until summer.
Anyway, I had to go to the North within this year. It was between fall and winter that Keitel called Adele.
If I wasn’t there at that time, you’d be anxious yourself. At least I was thinking of watching the case I knew myself.
“Still, I’ll give it a listen sometime in the fall. At that time, it would be Duke Taylor, not Robert Taylor.”
“Are you confident? The power that Sogaju has built up must be formidable.”
“There is none. Wouldn’t you have headed north and south to be sure?”
If you ask me if I have been convinced by doing this, I think I can answer yes with a little bit of confidence.
Worth it. It wasn’t as drastic a difference as before.
It was great that the northern and southern harvests were greater than expected.
I have the upper hand, at least when it comes to the names of those I have gained support for.
Since the relic of the dragon was secured, there would be Keitel’s connivance, and the saintess and the grand duke’s support.
As each person represents the Church and the North, it means that if Yuria makes an unreasonable number, I have the power to deal with it.
“Don’t push yourself too hard. Because you know better that Yuria Taylor doesn’t know what to do.”
“I plan to move with caution. We’ve already been receiving reports to some extent, so when we get to the center, we’ll have to move right away.”
“Is there anything I can do to help?”
“At least until becoming the head of household, you have to reach it alone.”
Authenticity is a particularly important factor.
Legitimacy and recognition were more important than anything else in this aristocratic society, no matter how low I placed on him.
Even if he becomes the head of a family by force, if he is not recognized by the nobility, he will become the head of a family in disguise.
It was something I had to do without having to use the name Taylor, and at least I had to maintain my current status.
Hearing my words, Adele smiled and shook her head.
I don’t know if it was after I became the head of the family, but before that, the position of the head of the household was something I had to reach only with my own strength.
…In the past, I didn’t have much interest in the name Gazoo, but it was quite funny that I thought it was so important now.
Maybe the value that I think is important has changed over time.
What would have changed if I had been interested in the competition for family heads from before?
It’d be foolish to think that way now, but I couldn’t help but think about it.
If only he had beaten YuRia earlier. If only I had excluded it from life in the first place and moved on.
No matter how I think about it, I know now that it was in a positive direction.
But I can’t help it.
As I did with Theresia, in the end, wasn’t what I chose to go forward with everyone in mind?
Of course, this time it was different.
Throwing away the meaningless things one by one and moving on is the purpose of this life.
No matter how much I thought of them as family before, in the end it was nothing more than a stepping stone for me to step on.
After all, Yuria is just one of them.
An existence that must be stepped on someday, trampled to such an extent that it will never rise again.
The precedent of Theresia taught me many lessons.
If you were going to rule out, you had to move quickly, and if you were going to step on it.
that you have to step on.
Inside the rumbling carriage, I glanced at the window for a moment.
The trees stretching towards the sky disappeared, and wide plains and cities began to be seen instead.
Leave the North to the South, then leave the South to the Center.
The feeling was new. It will probably be the first year of my entire life.

– What’s your name?
It was quite recently that the owner he served changed.
He was always seen as weak and swayed by others, and was in fact completely ignored by the Taylor family.
At least he was alive because of the name Taylor, but wasn’t it Robert who didn’t say anything even if he ignored it as a mediocre butler?
But one day, suddenly everything changed.
There was coolness in the young boy’s eyes, and the hesitation in his actions disappeared.
His unstoppable move changed the game within the Taylor family.
That firm Yuria Taylor was shaken for a moment.
The connection with the imperial family was loosened, and the position of Yuria Taylor, who was certain to become the head of the household, was not the same as before.
Even so, it was certain that he showed an overwhelming difference from Robert Taylor, but rumors were still circulating within the duke’s residence that he might not know.
‘Although I spread it.’
Ronald raised his collar and gave a small smile.
At first, I even complained a lot about being tied down by Robert Taylor.
No matter how you think about it, it’s not a rotten rope.
Even if it was inevitable because of her family, if there was an opportunity, she would always betray and stick to Yuria Taylor.
But now? Is there any reason to stick to Yuria Taylor?
Reynolds was no fool.
He knew that the reason he was able to survive ignoring Taylor’s only eldest son was because of his own unique ability.
I knew when to fall, and I knew when to move on.
At first, it seemed like a rotten rope, but Robert’s actions exceeded Yuriana’s own expectations.
He had a close friendship with the Grand Duke, was already openly close with the saintess, and now has a relationship with the princess.
So, there was no hesitation in reporting Yuria Taylor’s movements.
After peeling off the rotten skin, you can see gold, so why would you do something stupid to run away from here?
“And public opinion is not bad now.”
The first thing Robert did before leaving for the North was to send medical aid to the manor.
It was as if they were expecting a plague to circulate.
In fact, a plague spread in some areas, and it was easily overcome because medical aid was dispatched.
It was Robert Taylor who ordered the medical aid, although Yuria was tricked.
Reynolds started spreading rumors in his own way, revealing that it was Robert Taylor’s doing.
Spreading rumors was what Ronald did best of all.
No wonder he was the one who spread the bad rumors when Robert was first ignored.
I feel a little sorry for him now, but back then it was a time when I never imagined he would be hiding what he saw.
town-
Coincidentally, Yuria Taylor’s behavior also became bizarre.
I think I heard that he had an argument with Robert before he went to the north, but I didn’t know what he was saying that made it so much worse.
When he heard the news that Robert had reached the south and moved with the saint,
What Yuria did was to invite the nobles she had made friends with to the social church.
I only knew part of what was going on there.
However, what is certain is that he has declared that he will soon become the head of the household.
At the same time, he began to check Robert Taylor. Ronald, who wrote down those two facts, swallowed a small sigh.
Actually, there was one more thing I had to tell you, but I couldn’t help but be careful about it.
It meant the completion of this uneasy, yet game-changing number against Robert Taylor.
What would happen to you if this letter leaked out?
If Yuria found out, she would be as good as a dead person.
Yuria’s declaration that she would become the head of the household had two meanings.
One meant that he would really become the family head, but Taylor’s family head had to be acknowledged by the former head of the family to have meaning.
Now that the current head of the family is interested in the battle for the head of the family, will he easily give up the position of head of the family to Yuria?
Reynolds shook his head and smiled bitterly.
A cold sweat trickled down his forehead, and he wiped off the sweat that wet his head before he knew it.
“Crazy, crazy.”
Up until now it had been smooth, but from now on I couldn’t think of it that way.
It was literally standing on a single wooden bridge.
Yuria’s plan to ‘forcefully’ usurp the position of the head of the household failed.
It was Renald’s own decision, but he stole the drug that would be the beginning of the plan.
Reynolds took a deep breath and started writing again using the pen that had stopped.
He just hopes that the rope he holds is really golden.
The moment I sent this letter, it seemed as if I could clearly see the future in which I would die if I failed.
[It has been secured.]
A letter that is simple but has more meaning than anything else.
Renald sighed as he enclosed the small vial.
It was now in Robert’s hands.
If he couldn’t become the family head, he would have to die too.
