191 – Scene 191# Secret Medicine
*
I stared blankly at Hildegard.
The woman who, without blinking an eye, asked to get rid of her husband was sipping her tea in serenity.
Regardless of whether she is an ally or an enemy, one thing is certain… .
‘knave… .’
It’s the same kind as Tristan.
An erring human being who can even throw away humanity for the sake of a purpose.
It is also something to be wary of.
First of all, I made a relaxed expression with ‘Pride’.
“You make a cruel request with a nonchalant expression.”
“Do you think I am a cruel woman?”
“no. I’ve seen many people crueler than you. You can’t even get on that axis.”
“… … .”
Hildegard looked at me with wide eyes as if he was surprised.
She seemed to be trying to read something from my expression, but she probably couldn’t read anything but ‘Pride’.
She burst into laughter.
“Cuckoo… . As expected, he is the son of Millium Ruelberta.”
“I am not a millionaire. Don’t treat me like that man.”
“Did you know that you just said the same thing as Milliam?”
What is Millium?
Suddenly, my impression was frowned upon.
“Ah, what a wasteful man he was. His eyes were so creepy that I couldn’t believe he was the same person. Even if he hadn’t died early-“
“Stop talking nonsense and why would you want to get rid of Gail?”
“Are you curious? I thought you wouldn’t care about the circumstances of other people’s families.”
“I don’t kill people for no reason. I will decide whether to cooperate with you or not after hearing the reason.”
“Well, good. It’s not a big deal, but Gail is starting to notice. my business.”
“You mean smuggling.”
Hildegard’s smuggling is absolutely illegal. However, it would be a big deal if it became known that the Wolfbert family, a member of Chilsung, was smuggling.
Gail, the head of the house, would not stand still.
“At least 20 years. It took 20 years for my business to take off. It would be embarrassing to interfere with my precious business like that.”
“Is that even your husband?”
“Yes.”
Answering without hesitation, she said, “Oh,” and added.
“If I had to argue, this would be about half of the reasons for getting rid of him. The other half is my personal grudge, so I won’t bother telling you.”
I sorted it out for a while.
In the original story, Helga, who harbors a grudge for damaging her mother’s grave, murders Gale. There is chaos for a while, but the Wolfbert family is stable again as Patrick becomes the head of the family.
If you think about it differently, it was also a story that the story flowed just fine without Gale.
‘Hmm… .’
Besides, the reason why I bought Tangmar and prevented Gale’s death wasn’t because Gale was a wasteful character.
It was only in the hope that Helga would not kill her own flesh and blood with her own hands like Tristan did.
I recalled what I had been through in the ordeal.
How he felt when he went back to Tristan’s boyhood and pointed a gun at Milliam’s head. And when he finally pulled the trigger, he knew very well what kind of future Tristan had.
Gail, though not as well as Milliam, isn’t a character that’s had a good run.
A man capable of being a naval captain, but almost incompetent as the head of a family and the father of children… No, he was a man who went beyond incompetence and even hurt his daughter, Helga.
Gale is probably the character I hate more than Patrick.
Therefore, there was no reason to reject Hildegard’s proposal.
“How is it? count. If you cooperate, I will help you when you eliminate the Emperor.”
“yes. Certainly not a bad condition… .”
“Then do you agree?”
“no.”
“Yes?”
Hildegard probably thought that I wanted to get rid of the emperor through the Ruelberta family and the imperial family’s rough relationship.
Seeing that Tristan in the original story eliminated the emperor, her thoughts were certainly not wrong.
But I am not Tristan. I had no intention of getting rid of the emperor.
Of course, there was no reason to say what I was thinking, so I said in a voice full of ‘arrogance’.
“I don’t need your cooperation to get rid of the emperor. Hildegard. The power of the Ruelberta family is enough to destroy the imperial family.”
“… You are quite confident.”
“I don’t have myself. The truth is that it is.”
“Then what do you want? money? Or a new trade route?”
“I want two things.”
I’ve already made up my mind.
Hildegard leaned forward as if to listen to me. That bewitching gesture made it hard to believe that she was an elderly woman.
“Tell me. count.”
“The leading island in Tangmar will be used by the Wolfbert family as it has been until now. However, if you secretly move the grave or touch even a handful of soil on the land without my permission… . Build a hotel on it, I will do as I please.”
“like. What next?”
“Is the last day of this month the ‘starting day’ of the Wolfbert family?”
“Well? Yes? But why… ?”
“Involve my escort knights in the ‘Dangju Dalian’ that day.”
“Yes…!?”
start day.
It is a gathering of the Wolfbert family that is held every year to commemorate the day the current head of the family was inaugurated.
Hearing my suggestion, Hildegard questioned with a very wary face.
“What are we going to do now? Why are your escort knights participating there?”
“She is also Gael’s child. Aren’t you qualified enough?”
“I am not pointing out qualifications. Now, the count’s escort knight… . No, are you trying to put that illegitimate son in the position of head of the Wolfbert family?”
It was natural for her to react this way.
One of the absolute rules of the Wolfbert family is that the strongest of the children of the current head of the family becomes the next head of the head. And ‘Darren’ means that the head of the Wolfbert family is challenged by his children by betting on the position of head of the family.
I calmly explained.
“listen carefully. Make my escort knight the first to deal with Gale. Gail is old, so she’ll get tired before she can deal with Patrick. Besides, if you are in that position, you should be able to get rid of Gale in a legitimate way.”
“… … In other words, you want to help put my son, Patrick, on the throne?”
“yes. Wasn’t that what you wanted?”
“that’s right. But that’s not a ‘sure’ way to get rid of Gale, is it?”
“In exchange, you can definitely kneel down in front of your family. Moreover, I heard that Dangju’s Dalian was originally a fight to keep Dangju’s place by risking his life. Even if Gale’s life is in danger during sparring, only the sparring person can stop it.”
“… … .”
Hildegard was silent for a moment, as if lost in thought. She must be thinking about what would benefit her the most.
It didn’t take long before she opened her mouth again.
“if… . What if your escort knight wins?”
“Do you think Gail will lose to my escort driver?”
“Well… . Nope.”
Until now, the eldest of Gale’s sons, Patrick, was recognized as the strongest. However, the reason Patrick is still staying at the head of the house is because he has not completely defeated Gale.
In other words, it was also a part where we could see how strong a man named Gail was.
“I don’t think a half-punch like that can beat Gail. Rather, it is doubtful that she will be able to cut Gale’s power sufficiently. Even though he is old, Gale is still alive and well.”
“She has been active on many battlefields as my enlisted soldier. It should be able to attack Gale well enough. Besides, even if she loses, it is not too late to find another way.”
“exactly… .”
As I expected, Hildegard remembered Helga, who lost her eye in a magic accident a long time ago, and underestimated her.
As long as we know that Helga murdered Gale in the original story, the outcome of the sparring was already decided.
The possibility remained that Helga, having just become emotional, could kill Gale.
But… . I intend to leave that to Helga. Just like Tristan in the original story, we should be able to give her a chance to make a choice.
The reason I made this proposal was to create such a stage for Helga.
And finally, Hildegard nodded.
“like. I will accept both of the conditions presented by the Count.”
“Good idea.
“From now on, let’s get along with the two families.”
She came up to me and offered her hand, but I stayed still.
The friendly gesture of shaking hands was also not allowed by my ‘pride’… .
“Really, this is the same as Millium.”
“I’m counting on you.”

Damn it.
I held back and shook hands with Hildegard.
‘Pride’ was screaming in me.
I’m sorry but I can’t help it. Even if I die, I don’t want to be treated the same as Millium.
“Then let’s go out soon.”
“Well.”
The two of us finished our secret medicine and got out of the picture quite warmly.
yes. It was just good up there.
The scenery that should unfold before our eyes is definitely the room at the Chinese restaurant where we were a while ago… .
“this… . What are you doing? everyone?”
The restaurant was literally ruined to such an extent that even Hildegard muttered as if he was dumbfounded.
All the food that should have looked delicious was spilled out and broken dishes were scattered all over the place.
And when I saw Helga and Blanche confronting Patrick in the place where the table was, I too felt my head pounding.

Didn’t I tell you to stay calm… .
