That Man’s 101st Bad Ending

How to strangle a tiger-1

Not all of my 101 lives are wise.

I had no purpose, I just wanted a future where I could laugh and be together with everyone.

What on earth did I have to do to achieve a vague and vague desire?

The answer was never found. Because it is a wish that has already been given up. Because I no longer wanted to live for others.

If you ask me if I did my best for the last episode, I would definitely answer yes.

At least it is certain that I lived hard for the goal I set.

Of course, it’s not like I never gave up. I regretted that kind of life, but I don’t care anymore.

So when I thought about how to live this life, I was finally able to clearly decide on one thing.

Not to hesitate this time. It means not to miss an important starting point by being obsessed with family anymore.

I think I’ve already passed the 2nd starting point.

After saving Arwen, he met the princess at the household meeting. How did I use these two starting points?

Personally, I see it as a success.

Adele is involved in saving Arwen, but she doesn’t know the details.

Through the family meeting, Mirazen and Adrian held a kind of line.

Isn’t it worth saying that the benefit exceeded expectations.

After going through these two starting points, what am I really aiming for?

“house owner.”

There was something that occupied the highest place on the desk, above the drawing of Taylor’s hierarchical structure.

I erased my father’s name and put my name in its place.

It was always two or three years later that I was accused of treason.

variable? No matter how bad it was, I had a year to spare.

So there was only one thing I would have in that spare year.

After expelling Yuria, he is recognized by his father and inherited through a ‘legitimate’ procedure.

I could say that making my own forces was the biggest goal of the moment. Looking at the picture, I muttered a little.

…in this life, I,

“Become the head of household.”

Adrian escorted me to the front of the wall tower saying that we would meet again next time.

It wasn’t necessary, but it was a bit burdensome since the princess was also seeing her off.

Including adding that you must contact me again.

I stare at the artifact in my pocket for a while, then put it back in and let out a sigh.

When I saw Miragen, it was true that it was complicated in many ways.

If I were to pick a woman with whom I had the closest relationship in every episode, I would pick her alone.

Theresia was my fiancé, but she was a woman who tried to use my family, and Adele and I had a subordinate relationship, but it was not a special relationship.

However, Miragen is different.

He was a lover, and even rose to the position of her lover.

That episode also failed, but the memory of it still remained with me.

So complicated.

The next time I met her, I was in a position to be chased by her, and later we became enemies of each other.

Was she the head of the subjugation army chasing me in the episode called Swordsman?

Perhaps it was because they were entangled in many ways, but whenever I saw Miragen, I felt a strange feeling in my heart.

“You won’t have to do that anymore.”

It’s true that Mirajen was interested in me, but that doesn’t mean you have to take her word for it.

Calling him Jung-in was just part of a trick to attract me,

Miragen is not such an important position if it only attracts the attention of the crown prince I have targeted.

It can be said to be a little sorry for her, but my interest is only in the crown prince.

Unless Mirazen does something else, wouldn’t it be difficult to have a position that is more than a stepping stone to approach the crown prince?

Of course, it would be different if she had something to do with my death.

Still, the current situation itself could be said to be quite relaxed.

I have to get really busy when winter comes, but until then, I’ll just have to take care of Arwen and YuRia.

Although the weight of the family meeting was set quite high, strangely, things went well.

Perhaps, to summarize what’s left now, talk with Arwen about the future,

After contacting the princess again and meeting the crown prince, all you have to do is start working on the groundwork to get the position of Sogaju.

To explain the groundwork a little, it would be to make the servants of the duke’s residence on my side.

As soon as his name was called, the door opened and Leonard entered.

The bundles of papers tucked into my side were what I had prepared.

Having prepared a lot more than I thought, maybe I personally put a lot of effort into it.

a satisfactory result.

If Renald himself cooperates like this, there won’t be any problems if we continue to be together.

“Are these the things I told you to prepare?”

“Yes, I brought all the family information related to the house attendants.”

“Well done. If you used the money, tell me, I’ll take care of it separately.”

“thank you.”

It was for a simple reason that I was asked to prepare information from attendants.

If you knew about the attendant’s house or family in advance, you could use that to get closer.

Of course, this does not mean that they are threatening them, but it is to cause a ‘misunderstanding’ in a good direction from their point of view.

If there is a slope in the house, in fact, it was because of my help.

If a family member is ill, and by chance you get medical help and get better.

And if medical assistance is my order? Perhaps that gratitude will be directed towards me.

The funny thing about human nature is that we appreciate the origin of the help more than the person who helped us right away.

Even if it was a single minister who made the policy, praise was given to the emperor, and what I wanted to take advantage of was the habit of the people.

If you oppress and fill the chains, you will be more violent,

If I make my people in this way, I believe that I will soon have some pretty trustworthy allies.

However, it is unknown whether those people will follow the act of treason, but it will be better than nothing.

Becoming the family head is part of making my own power.

If I become the family head somehow, the members must follow my orders, whether they like it or not.

Of course, he was reluctant to issue such an order, but there could be a situation where he had to do so.

“By the way, it seems that Lord Soga has been looking for you since earlier. What would you like to do?”

“…me?”

“Yes, I asked the other attendant if the young master was in the house.”

I don’t know what I was looking for, but I got a sense of it to some extent.

Since the work at the Wall Tower was kept a complete secret, he was probably trying to catch the disappearance in the middle of the meeting.

The princess might have noticed what I had done to some extent through her actions.

I think the Miragen I know would have moved by now.

Concerned about the resistance of the different races based on the map, they would have changed their words to slowly reform rather than subjugate.

Since it was decided at the Gaju Council, the relationship between the nobility and the imperial family was going to fall apart.

It was time for the imperial family to think that they would gradually discipline themselves.

Then, how will Yuria react?

You said you were looking for me, then it would be better for me to show up first.

Ronald looked at me with a worried expression, but I said I was fine and left the hallway.

Then, she went to the room where YuRia was staying and slowly knocked on the door.

smart-

“This is Robert. I heard you are looking for me.”

“…come in.”

Upon entering the room, YuRia was still glaring at me with cold eyes.

This time, YuRia, who must have been quite angry, opened her mouth abruptly after biting her lip.

“What the hell are you doing? Why is the princess, who had been accommodating to the subjugation until yesterday, now objecting to the subjugation, citing a different race she has never heard of?”

“I don’t know why you’re asking me that.”

“Ha, did you really think I wouldn’t know? Robert, you better not think it’s just me watching you.”

She tapped the table for a moment, then opened her mouth and opened the copy of the map the princess claimed.

“I knew you recently got a map. And that’s a map with the topography of the south drawn in detail. Didn’t you know that even if you use your money, the record will remain?”

“I know. So, do you think it was me who gave the princess the map?”

“It’s no use even if you run away. Because you already know everything.”

“The map I gave you is correct.”

It was questionable whether I already knew everything, but I nodded my head obediently and answered.

There was no need to hide everything from the opponent who came out with that attitude.

However, Yuria’s eyebrows wrinkled as if she was more angry at that attitude.

“…why? You must be well aware of how important your father regards this subjugation. Hey, it has nothing to do with the succession, so I wonder if I was trying to find a way to live.”

“Perhaps your father knows. There’s really no way your father won’t say anything about something that Sogaju knows.”

Rather, the moment I saw the map, I should have known it was my actions.

Even so, if you think about why you haven’t said anything to me yet.

He must have realized that it was to Taylor’s advantage.

At this meeting, the positions were quite clearly divided.

The imperial family opposed the subjugation, and the aristocrats insisted on enforcing the subjugation.

The power of the nobility was so strong that it seemed that the subjugation was approved at the moment, but

In the imperial family, there was a movement to delay it as much as possible and try to cover it up somehow.

In such a situation, if Taylor stepped up and opposed it, how would the royal family act?

It will seem almost like a lifesaver.

Of course, he wouldn’t take an active move, but if he changed his attitude towards subjugation, the imperial family would pay the price accordingly.

The tug-of-war between the nobility and the imperial family was something only Taylor could do.

YuRia’s face went pale for a moment, then the complexion gradually began to return.

Perhaps he noticed that this was going pretty strangely.

The wind was blowing on me. It was me who spread the sails and set the boat afloat toward the sea.

I would also have realized that I intended and did all this.

“What are you up to?”

“I don’t know what you mean.”

“Don’t even think of playing with me. You’re asking why you suddenly intervened when you hadn’t done anything related to the family until now.”

The shivering of her shoulders indicated that she was quite furious.

As my closed lips turned white, I slowly opened my mouth.

In a dry tone, as if he was just taking what he was saying lightly.

“I want to become a family head.”

“…What?”

“Coming to think of it, I also ‘still’ have the rightful right to the succession. Although it is true that Sogaju was chosen in advance when he was young. Taylor had one rule.”

Prior to the death of the head of household, the qualification to become the head of the family is still valid for anyone unless chosen by will.

It was for this reason that the Taylor family shed a lot of blood, but it was also for this reason that it was able to continue its prestige until now.

YuRia’s gaze became sharper.

Those freezing eyes pierced my forehead, and the chill inside them seemed to invade my whole body.

However, that’s all. She couldn’t hurt me here, so all she could do was get angry.

“Being the head of the family, I want to lead the Taylor family I think. Up until now, I’ve had little interest in power…but it won’t have to be forever.

He smiled once, then added a slight tilt of his head.

“Are you not confident?”

“…a madman.”

“I don’t think so.”

The eyes were looking at me with contempt, but they ate for no reason and laughed.

There was no boundary in her eyes.

It’s the end of just looking at the heart of what nonsense you are talking about.

Judging from what had happened so far, it was clear that I thought there was no chance of me becoming the head of the household.

“Then, I think the conversation is over, so let’s go.”

However, will he be able to maintain that expression after a year?

I always resented the passage of time, but this time it was different.

If time flies by and I see the future where I became the head of household, and if I see Yuria collapsed.

“… Sogaju-nim.”

What kind of emotions am I feeling, that was the only thing I was most curious about.

thud-

The door closed and there was silence for quite some time.

It was such a silence that it seemed like it was going to explode any moment.
