80 – Scene 080# Kkongnyangkkongnyang

*

There was a very short silence before Laura spoke again.

“Warrior… ? Did you say you are a warrior now?”

“yes.”

“A hero who said he would defeat the demon lord?”

“yes. I was talking about that warrior.”

“Puhuh… … !”

In the end, Laura burst out laughing.

“Puhahahaha! You didn’t see it like that, did you know how to do this humor? Warrior? I can’t believe the count still believes in such fairy tales!”

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

Does it come out like this?

It’s not that I don’t believe it because it’s Tristan. Even if someone other than me said it, the reaction would have been the same.

According to the original novel, there are two warriors in total.

Grace, the first hero, and Peter Wingfield, the main character and Wendy’s older brother.

At this point, since Grace, no hero has appeared in this world.

In addition, a very long time has passed since Grace defeated the Demon King.

So, the reality is that the story about the hero is treated as a fairy tale or a tale rather than history.

Leon, the head of Peyrigris, stroked his chin and agreed with Laura’s words.

“Well! To be honest, what the count said is hard to believe! We are not naive enough to believe such stories! Besides, I’ve never heard of a demon lord appearing, and it’s not like God gave a revelation! Not even worth thinking about!”

“It is too soon to conclude. Leon.”

Odell, who had been watching this situation all along, spoke for the first time.

“According to tradition, a hero is someone who can use ‘all attribute’ magic.”

There was a strange resonance in Odell’s voice.

The power that compelled listeners to listen to him was like that of a prime minister who had supported the Meikahel Empire.

The elderly chancellor looked at me.

“In other words, if there is someone who uses such magic, even if a hero appears, they will have no choice but to believe it.”

I did not avert Odell’s eyes.

Among the aristocrats pro-imperium, Odel Ryumin is the closest aide to the emperor. Because he was a difficult opponent for Tristan in the original story.

“Mmm! If there is someone who uses magic of ‘all attributes’, I would really like to see it!”

“Me too. The count probably isn’t the type to joke around like this. If that’s the case, that means you’ve found someone who uses magic of all attributes. Am I right?”

“yes.”

“Then show us the proof.”

Everyone gathered here looked at me.

yes. After all, evidence is needed to convince them.

If Wendy, who is of the blood of a hero, shows how to use magic, they will believe that she is a hero.

Just like in the original work, people believed him to be a hero only after seeing Peter wield magic of ‘all attributes’. But… .

“It cannot be shown.”

“Hmm?”

“Can’t you show me?”

Laura or Leon frowned.

Odell tilted his head.

“Why?”

“If the identity of the hero is known at this time, not only the empire, but the entire country will fall into chaos. They will also do all sorts of tricks to acquire a hero from another country.”

The appearance of a hero is a sign that a demon threatening the world will soon appear.

In addition, the country where the hero first appeared could be the main axis in subjugating the demon king.

This may not be a bad thing from the point of view of other countries.

Everyone wants to be a protagonist in history.

“That’s why I can’t show the hero. All I can tell you is that a hero has appeared and that I am protecting him.”

“Um… .”

The heads of Chilsung thought for a moment, wondering if they understood what I was saying.

Among them, the one with the most serious expression was Mondri Cremont.

He is the only person here who knows the identity of the hero I am talking about.

Looking at my eyes, I couldn’t even bring up the story.

don’t step out and stay like that Mondry.

In the end, as expected, Laura was the first to break the silence.

“I can’t believe it either.”

she said in a rough voice.

“Count, are you just lying because there is no evidence? Let’s see, let’s see, what do we look like? Thinking of cheating on us like that. yes?”

“Believe it or not, you are free.”

“yes! So I won’t believe it!”

“but.”

I advised them in an arrogant manner.

“Think carefully about whether I have any reason to lie to you.”

“… … .”

Prestigious nobles sat at a loss for words.

Then, the servers appeared dragging trays.

Above the heavy silence, the servers began to place food one by one.

The reconciliation meeting had just begun.

*

The meal continued in a quiet atmosphere.

You can only hear the occasional rattle of the food on the plate.

I looked at the food on the round table.

As if it were natural, the food that would come out of a Chinese restaurant came out.

Foods that are either fried or sautéed.

If you think about diet, you can’t eat it recklessly, but it’s okay to taste it.

Even though they must be nobles, I was a little surprised that they were using chopsticks casually.

Is it because of the fantasy world?

I also tried to pick up the food with chopsticks as elegantly as they did.

“count.”

A soft voice sounded in my ear.

It was Bella.

“Are you going to eat now?”

she asked me with a smile.

“Um.uh.go.nya.go.yo.”

It was as if he was seeing Bella’s anger at Duke Fred in the past.

She is smiling, but her eyes are as cold as my ‘anger’.

He must have been angry at me for hiding the fact that I had a hero.

Arguing with Bella here is just tiring.

I asked while picking up the food right in front of me with my chopsticks.

“Would you like to try one?”

“I beg your pardon? I can’t see you’re angry.”

As she was about to start talking noisily, I put a warm, hot air balloon into her mouth.

Bella, who had been looking at her with resentful eyes for a moment, began chewing on the kanpunggi that entered her mouth.

But that’s for a while.

“?!”

Bella’s eyes flashed open.

She hurriedly drank the water next to her.

“Puha… . What’s this?! It’s spicy!”

“Didn’t you like spicy?”

“When am I… !”

“I thought it was because I ate tteokbokki well the other day.”

“uh?! no… ? It was, but… … .”

Bella tried to say something to me as if she was embarrassed, but stopped.

The conversation between the two of us couldn’t continue.

Because we weren’t alone here.

“I’m fed up. I was very fed up… .”

Laura was staring at us as if bewildered.

Colin, on the other hand, was eating his food, yawning or not.

In the middle, the attendant next to him was sweating to help him eat while waking him up, as if he was drowsy.

And Leon, who had emptied the food vigorously, nodded his head.

“Well! Well! I heard that the princess broke off the engagement, but I think I misunderstood!”

“Leon. It is true that our engagement has been terminated. That’s right, but… .”

“Hmm?”

Bella coughed.

“Kuhm… . I think I was a little hasty, so I’m going to think about it a little more.”

“okay. By the way, what part of the Count did you like the most?”

“Yes?”

Patrick Wolfbert, who was eating quietly next to him, opened his mouth.

“I am asking because I am curious. The Count, who had hated it so much, suddenly thought of seeing him again. What attracted you to him? If not… .”

Patrick asked Bella with a roaring laugh.

“Have you found a weakness?”

As soon as the words were finished, I had to reach out my hand to stop the guy behind me.

“Stay still.”

“… … .”

Helga, who was trying to restrain Patrick, reluctantly stepped back behind me.

It’s not like a wild dog… .

Seriously, I’m thinking about putting a leash on it.

And Bella didn’t have to answer Patrick’s rude questions.

Because a deep voice intervened.

“Let’s put those little things aside for a moment. Let’s get down to business.”

It was Odel Ryumin.

“count. Can I ask you something?”

“Tell me.”

“Why didn’t you tell us about the hero’s appearance before telling His Majesty?”

It was a sharp question like Odell, the Chancellor of the Empire.

In the original work, he was Tristan’s biggest stumbling block, but ironically, he was the most communicative man in this place.

I opened my mouth as if I had been waiting for Odell to speak.

“As you know, Your Majesty does not trust me.”

The current emperor, Lucy Meikahel, who is trying to regain the authority and power of the imperial family, is wary of the growing power of Ruelverta.

Of course, as the head of Ruelberta, they wouldn’t believe anything I said. therefore… .

“However, you, Chilsung, have stepped up whenever a crisis has come since this country was founded. Your Majesty would believe it if it were your words.”

I sipped my tea.

“As I said earlier, I am here to warn you. This world will soon be engulfed in great chaos. I will prepare for it from now on.”

“Are you preparing?”

“yes. We will strengthen our power.”

“Well… !”

At my words, Leon clenched his armor and stood up.

“Are those words announcing that the Count’s enlisted army, Aslan, will increase his strength even more than now?”

“Yes.”

“That’s a statement I just can’t get over! If the Count develops Aslan’s strength any further, it becomes a threat to this country!”

“Do you think I’m going to start a rebellion?”

“Mmm! No such thing! Aslan is not an ordinary soldier, but has a force comparable to that of the Imperial Army! If it belongs to one family, it’s a big problem!”

“If that’s your complaint, increase the size of the Imperial Army.”

“Well?!”

Leon froze in place.

Let’s push hard from now on.

“You seem to be misunderstanding something. I did not come here to ask for your cooperation.”

I ordered them with ‘arrogance’ to the fullest.

“You guys cooperate with me. Serve me as the leader of the Seven Stars and ask His Majesty to prepare for future crises. If that happens, as your leader, there’s nothing I can’t lend you my strength for.”

By this point, they should know that I am not bluffing.

I didn’t even expect them to cooperate with me.

I have already achieved my purpose.

With a sense of crisis, they convey the news that a hero has appeared to the emperor.

And to strengthen the power of this country in their own way.

If Aslan’s power is strengthened, the Imperial Army will not stand still.

I sipped my tea, satisfied with my heart.

“I know what you mean.”

Then Odel Ryumin stroked his chin and said.

I’m also glad he’s quick to understand.

But the words that came out of his mouth were not what I expected.

“There is only one way to determine whether or not the Count is qualified to become the leader of the Seven Stars. Lady Gong.”

“Yes?”

An unexpected proposal came from Odell’s mouth.

“How about voting now? Whether or not to accept the Count as one of our members.”
