126 – Scene 126# Infiltrate
*
“I have committed a mortal sin… .”
Wendy’s father, Henry, bowed his head in the dirt.
“I didn’t even know you were the owner of my daughter… .”
I was coldly looking down at Henry, who trembled and begged for forgiveness.
“You can speak comfortably. Didn’t you say that you would do everything you said and live?”
“Oh no! I, I want to live a long time… ! Please save my life… .”
“Sorry, sorry… ! sorry! Count… !”
It was Wendy who lowered her head at the same time.
He must have felt responsible for his father’s slip of the tongue.
And beside me, the youngest Ruri cutely bowed her head in front of me.
“Are you a mother?”
Well… . It’s like he just doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
I looked around the house.
I didn’t expect it because it was a hut, but it was very shabby inside.
There were dirty household items and clothes close to rags.
There were four people living in this poor, destitute house.
I sighed inwardly and opened my mouth.
“… You can stop asking for forgiveness.”
“Ha, but… .”
“I won’t say it twice. Patient, lie down like a patient.”
“Yes, yes… !”
Henry hesitated and raised his head.
If you’re going to forgive anyway, it’s better to forgive quickly.
This situation where a sick patient begged for forgiveness was also inconvenient.
“thank you. cool cool… !”
“Oh, Dad! Are you okay?”
Wendy helped Henry and laid him down on the straw.
I wondered why there were straws in the house, but it must have been a bed.
I asked with tears in my eyes if I hadn’t been this bad when Wendy was here.
“Dad… . Why do you live in a place like this? What about our house?”
“I was kicked out because I couldn’t pay my rent. cool cool… . It’s just a relief that I haven’t been kicked out of town because of late taxes since I got sick… .”
“What about the money I sent you?”
“money? cool cool… . What do you mean? It’s been a while since I didn’t get your letter.”
“Yeah??”
Henry said with a puzzled expression.
“Since there was no letter, I was worried that something might have happened to you. If only I was healthy, I would have gone to see you… .”
Having heard this far, I thought I knew roughly what was going on.
I’ll have to investigate, but what’s certain is that someone in the middle was intercepting the money Wendy sent.
‘I’d rather eat the flea’s liver…’ .’
It made me feel sick to my stomach thinking that some kind of worm would have taken the money Wendy worked so hard for.
But now is not the time to be angry. This anger must be saved until it is clear who it is.
“That… . Count… .”
“… ?”
“I’m so sorry to have you in such a humble place… .”
Henry said, perhaps misunderstanding my dark expression.
“Cool, cool… . There is no place to sit… . Even if I talk about the situation and sit next door-”
“never mind. It just came in on its own.”
I waved my hand like that, but something caught my eye.
Looking down, the youngest Ruri was staring at me.
“… … .”
When our eyes met, I opened my hands wide.
as if asking for a hug.
“Don’t be silly.”
“I’m not stupid! I know!”
“… That is foolishness.”
“Ugh… !”
Ruri puffed out her cheeks as if she wasn’t afraid of me.
Ordinary children are busy crying just by looking at Tristan’s face.
“Lu, Luri! You’re rude to the Count!”
Wendy tried to stop it, but Ruri ignored it and continued to open her arms.
“I know!”
“It’s cheeky… .”
In the end, I clicked my tongue and hugged Ruri.
At that moment, I couldn’t help but be a little surprised.
Because the 5-year-old girl I just held was too light.
Looking at it, Ruri’s limbs were as skinny as the starvation I saw on TV.
Perhaps he suffers from malnutrition.
“Gongbiangjin grandiose!”
However, Ruri showed me a smile so bright that it could not be called a starving child.
I handed Ruri over to Helga, who was next to me, as I thought that smile would break so easily.
“Hold you.”
“Yes? Oh yes… .”
The moment Helga accepted Ruri, her expression changed to pity as if she had the same thoughts as me. Sick children have no choice but to look pitiful to anyone.
At that time, Henry muttered blankly.
“… The Count seems to be a very different person from the rumors.”
“rumor?”
“Yes… . When will serfs like us ever get a chance to see you? It’s all just rumors… .”
“I want to hear it.”
“Yes?”
“That rumor. What are they saying about me?”
“That, that… .”
Henry blurted out his words as if he was troubled.
If you think about what he said earlier, the contents are obvious.
“You’re a fat tyrant who treats people below you as worms… . Of course, it’s just a rumor… ! I never thought so… .”
“done. You don’t have to defend yourself.”
Even if I listened roughly, it matched the appearance of Tristan before I was possessed.
Maybe it’s because I’m in the countryside, so my recent news hasn’t been conveyed properly yet.
But it was rather good.
“Wendy.”
“Yes?”
“You are taking care of your family here. I have somewhere to go with Helga.”
“Uh, where are you going?”
“Where are you going?”
It was so cute seeing Wendy and Ruri tilt their heads at the same time.
If you have two daughters, you must feel this way.
But aside from that, I answered with a solemn face.
“It’s a place kids don’t need to know.”
*
Richard’s bar, ‘Golden Ear.’
It was a fancy place that couldn’t be seen in a bar in a ghetto like Richard’s.
Charlie glanced around.
It was a pub with an old-fashioned interior.
The ceiling chandelier was dyeing the second floor in vermilion.
Beneath it, young and beautiful servers were walking around wearing revealing clothes.
Unlike the first floor, which is operated as an ordinary bar, the second floor where Charlie is sitting is not a place where anyone can come in and out.
It was a place where rich, useless rural aristocrats, so-called thugs, came in and out.
“I’m behind.”
Charlie shook his head and threw the card.
“Kuhhh… .”
The bald aristocrat across from him smiled and swept the stakes off the table.
It was the moment when all the money Charlie bet disappeared.
Charlie, who couldn’t see it, got up from his seat.
“Hey, Charlie. Where are you going besides playing games?”
“oh my. I am done now.”
“It’s the funniest time, is this what it is? uh? This will make you sad.”
pestilence. It must be fun because you win the money you lose.
However, Charlie, a mere serf manager, cannot say such a thing to an aristocrat.
“a. Please take a look. It’s the weekend, so shouldn’t I go with a woman dressed as well?”
“You man. Why are you already skipping the game to flirt with a great girl?”
“Yes. You’re going to find a really cool girl. Because this guy is running rampant today.”
Charlie gave a vulgar grin as he pointed at the bulge between his crotch.
The bald aristocrat who realized the meaning said with a smile.
“Ha ha ha! OK! I watched this time Bring that girl too next time. Just be ugly. yes?”
“Yeah! Enjoy!”
Charlie shook his head and turned around.
Considering his position in managing the village serfs, this was an unsuitable place.
The reason he was able to come to this place must have been because of his recent resourcefulness.
But… .
“Write… .”
Sitting at a bar table nearby, Charlie ordered a drink.
It had been said a while ago as an excuse to get out of the gambling table, but it was true.
Charlie scanned the women around him.
When I saw the clothes of the servers with their buttocks exposed, the desire I had been holding back began to boil.
It was because he was so busy with the recent harvest season that he didn’t have time to enjoy women’s colors.
Charlie checked the money left in his pocket.
As a rough estimate, it seems to be 5 million kaels. This would not be enough to buy a lot of smooth prostitutes and enjoy them until morning.
Charlie sipped his drink and rolled his eyes.
The servers here are also women picked and picked from the area.
However, in Charlie’s eyes, it was not all satisfactory.
‘…ok?’
Charlie’s eyes caught a strange sight as he searched for a woman he liked.
All the eyes of the women around me were looking at one place, one person.
Charlie’s first impression of him was that he was a filthy handsome man.
A black nobleman with a neat suit and calm demeanor was sitting.
Looking closely, it was a chillingly cold impression. Maybe because of that, I felt something inaccessible.
‘It’s a face I’ve never seen before… ?’
Charlie tilted his head.
At most, he was a man who seemed to have reached adulthood not long ago.
‘Golden Isaac’ is a pub and gambling place where the rich aristocrats of the area visit to enjoy nightlife.
It was quite out of place for a man like that to exist in a place like this.
“… What?!”
Charlie’s eyes widened as he looked suspiciously at him because he found the woman next to him.
Make sure to read from noble mtl com
Dressed in an unreasonable uniform, her face showed off the innocence of a young girl and the maturity of an adult woman.
Even under dim lighting, she stood out. The soft hand gestures and facial expressions reminiscent of a cat caught the eye.
And above all, she was the most beautiful woman Charlie had ever seen in his life.
If only I could spend one night with a girl like that… .
It was then.
“Mr. Charlie?”
The server spoke to Charlie, who was unable to take his eyes off him.
“what?”
“Yeah… . The nobleman over there is looking for Charlie… .”
“me… ?”
Coincidentally, he was the man he had been watching a while ago.
The man was looking at Charlie now with a cold gaze.
Mr. A. Did you catch stealing the girl Ji brought you?
Charlie scratched his head and walked over to the man’s table.
“…What is it?”
“Are you the one who manages the village?”
However, a different question popped out of the man’s mouth than expected from Charlie.
“Yes?”
“I heard that you are the manager of the village. Am I right?”
“uh? uhh… . Rather than a village, Jain Deppsho manages the serfs… ?”
“Right.”
The man beckoned Charlie to sit down.
I didn’t know the English language, but I decided to sit down.
I didn’t know his status, but he looked like a nobleman.
“I hear you know a lot about the town around here.”
“Yes. Everyone knows. Do you have anything to ask me?”
“yes… . I have a lot to ask.”
If Charlie hadn’t looked away, he might have sensed a dangerous energy in the man.
But even then, Charlie couldn’t take his eyes off the woman sitting next to him.
The more I looked at her, the more beautiful she was. A mysterious odd eye was watching Charlie.
My eyes went to the legs that were coquettishly crossed under the coquettish eye smile. Her thighs, sleek because of her absurdly short skirt, were reflecting in the light.
Charlie licked his lips at the strange sight.
Judging by her attire, she must be a high-class courtesan brought in by this young scion.
It’s obvious that he’s a mediocre nobleman or a bastard who doesn’t have a high title anyway.
‘Anyway, I can’t stand it… .’
I wanted to take her to that woman’s inn and do all sorts of vulgar things.
Is it because the longed-for desire is boiling?
Suddenly, a good idea popped into his head.
“Good. Did you say you had something to ask me?”
“yes.”
“When I look at it, I don’t think you are from this town. Is that right?”
“yes.”
“Then I can’t be fooling around with my mouth. I am the one in charge of managing the serfs in this region. Wouldn’t it be okay to give out information to outsiders?”
After saying that, Charlie made a circle with his fingers.
“… That makes sense.”
The man who easily nodded at the bribe demand asked again.
“Then can this be enough?”
“… ?!”
Charlie couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
I thought it was a bundle of money that the man took out of his chest, but unexpectedly it was a jewel.
It wasn’t huge, but it was definitely… .
“It’s a diamond.”
“Dia, Dia… ?!?”
A groan escaped from Charlie’s mouth.
I thought he was an ordinary rich man, but he was a rich man with an extraordinary scale.
That money was incomparable to the pennies he had stolen from the village serfs.
Charlie, who had been swallowing saliva unconsciously, hesitated.
‘No. Something’s wrong.’
At most, what kind of aristocrat would willingly offer something worth such a huge amount to him who manages the serfs?
I’ve seen a lot of rotten riches, but I’ve never seen a man like this.
‘That means… .’
Either that jewel is fake or… .
That the man in front of you is a foreign spy.
This land of Rihat is an important granary for the great noble Ruelberta family.
In particular, this is also the place where Aslan, a powerful soldier of the Ruelberta family, supplies his troops.
There was a possibility that the young Nompang was a spy disguised as an aristocrat.
In the end, it wasn’t good news for Charlie either way.
In my heart, I wanted to just refuse and leave, but to do so, the prostitute the man had brought caught my eye.
There was no way a woman like that would ever appear in a country like this again.
‘yes. At best, a bastard or an undercover spy. I will thoroughly use it.’
Charlie smiled slyly inwardly.
“Kuhm… . It’s not that I don’t believe in you, but… . Wouldn’t an ignorant guy like me not know if it’s a real gem or a fake one? To be honest, it would be embarrassing to offer something like that in a rural town like this… .”
“understood. Then what else do you want?”
“Rather than the jewels you just showed me… … .”
Charlie licked his lips and looked at the woman next to him.
“I want more of the beautiful jewels you brought me… .”
