Chapter 344 A Country That Lost Romance (2)


    30 minutes ago.


    Billy visited Roman Dmitri.


    It was to schedule an appointment as ordered by Count Bragan, but ran into difficulties from the start.


    “I’m sorry, but I can’t meet you right now.”


    It was Hans.


    In a situation where the meeting itself was not allowed in the first ce, Billy earnestly asked in the most polite voice.


    “I know that Roman Dmitri is busy. But Count Bragan came as a representative of the Valha Empire, so he couldn’t wait forever. I don’t mean to ask you to take time right now. One day, one day, two days, two days. Even if it takes more than that, if you tell me the date of your promise to meet me, I will go back without saying anything and tell Count Bragan about it.”


    “Impossible. Bhan did not allow anyone to enter until his personal schedule was over.”


    “but… .”


    sessive rejections.


    Billy’s expression darkened.


    He is trying to be polite in order to carry out his orders, but the servant’s attitude offends him.


    “Don’t just say sorry over and over again. Still, I think I can convey Count Bragan’s intentions.”


    There was a thorn in the horse.


    Opponents are mere servants.


    Leaving Count Bragan aside, even against himself as a knight, he was not in a position where he could open his eyes and speak clearly.


    He gave off a slightly menacing air.


    Billy couldn’t just resign like this because Count Bragan ordered him to fulfill his purpose by any means necessary.


    said Hans.


    “Knight. No matter how many times you ask, the situation will not change. This meeting was not originally nned. It’s not that I don’t understand the impatience, but it’s very difficult for you to force a one-sided promise.”


    “This bastard is real.”


    sudden.


    Unknowingly, his hand went up.


    got cocky


    If a servant or something like that had treated her like this in Valha, I’d bet she would have slit her throat with a single sword.


    It was then.


    “Put that hand down.”


    right next door.


    A cold voice was heard.


    When Billy unconsciously turned his head, there was a man he had never seen before looking at him.


    * * *


    At first I didn’t recognize Kevin’s face.


    Dmitry’s demon.


    Even in Valha, his reputation was great, but even his appearance was not known in detail.


    Hans’ gaze turned to Kevin.


    “Kevin. I am okay.”


    ‘Kevin?’


    Billy’s eyes widened.


    ncing at Hans and Kevin, he realized that the mysterious man was Dmitri’s goblin.


    Iughed awkwardly for a moment.


    I thought the appearance of trying to hit Hans might make things worse.


    “Ha ha ha, don’t get me wrong. After visiting Roman Dmitri… … .”


    “Stop talking nonsense. Who are you trying to hit Mr. Hans in Dmitri’s territory?”


    It was a brutal voice.


    the problem is.


    Kevin’sments hurt Billy’s pride.


    It’s not that his actions were good, but the opponent wasn’t a great being, he was just a servant.


    “That sounds like nothing. Aren’t you saying too much?”


    “I must have told you to exin your actions.”


    “Don’t speak to me as if you weremanding me. I am a Knight of the Valha Empire, not Dmitri. There is no reason for you to treat me like this, and what would you do if you touched a servant?”


    Count Bragan said.


    Show me the location of Valha.


    When Billy came out strong, Kevin came right up to him and looked up at Billy, who was bigger than him, from below.


    “Tell me again. what?”


    “Fuck it’s so different. If you’re Dmitri’s goblin, that’s it? It’s not that I, a knight, hit you. Why are you making such a fuss about raising your hand against a servant? Even if you didn’t ignore us in the first ce… … evil!”


    Damn!


    The head jerked back.


    Recognizing that he had been pped in the face by the intense shock, Billy could not stand the anger that boiled over and pulled out his sword.


    “How dare you p me on the cheek?!”


    Kwalung.


    Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr


    raised an aura


    Pulling out his sword like lightning, he tried to subdue Kevin for now without thinking about what happened next.


    however.


    hook.


    dodged the attack.


    Kevin didn’t pull out his sword in the same way, but sent an attack with a light movement and blew Billy’s cheek again.


    Blood sttered from his face.


    Billy, stained with embarrassment, hurriedly tried to counterattack, but when he swung his sword, his head turned.


    Shocks exploded in session.


    The intense anger faded in an instant, and when he came to his senses, he was on his knees and holding his hair.


    shit.


    squeaky squeaky.


    He continued to blow his cheek.


    Billy tried to block the attack with a pitiful hand, but a violent hand grabbed his hair and did not let go.


    Billy’s actions.


    The mere attempt to inflict violence on Dmitry stimted the nt.


    Moreover, the opponent was Hans.


    who is hans


    Aside from the fact that Roman Dmitri was a person he truly cared for, Hans was also very special to Kevin.


    The first time I moved around the slums.


    Kevin, who entered the castle following Roman Dmitri, had been under the care of Hans.


    The grace I received at that time will never be forgotten.


    Now, her social position has risen to a position where she canmand the servants, but she never loses her gratitude whenever she meets Hans.


    Whereby.


    No one in Dmitry could touch Hans.


    The status of the servant was not important at all because Roman Dmitri and Kevin were important people.


    such a being


    It was a situation that was almost hit by an outsider.


    Grabbing his hair, dragging him and punching him several times, Billy struggled to open his mouth with a face covered in blood.


    “… you … can you afford it? … I am a knight of Valha.”


    like he said.


    Borley is not an ordinary article.


    A Valha knight who serves Count Bragan.


    With imperial stature on his back, he vented his wrath even in the face of Dmitri’s demon.


    I grinned.


    Thinking his threat had worked, he spoke again.


    “… You are in trouble.”


    tall.


    The action stopped.


    Kevin looked at Billy while holding his hair and showed a strange expression.


    “Can I tell you something funny?”


    “… crazy bastard.”


    “When I was still ignorant of the world, I attended Barco’s party with my lord. At that time, I did not respond in any way even after hearing the words of the guys insulting Dmitri. that day. The lord turned them into blood clots in ce of me. and he told me From now on, develop an eye for judging others.”


    closely.


    He grabbed his head tightly.


    When the opponentined of pain, Kevinughed cruelly.


    It reminded me of Roman Dmitry.


    “From my current standards, you’re a guy I can touch.”


    at that point.


    Billy’s expression turned pale.


    Only then did he realize that things were wrong.


    * * *


    “… This is the situation.”


    Billy struggled to finish his exnation.


    set of circumstances.


    As the Count of Bragan, he couldn’t help but be angry.


    It’s wrong to use violence in someone else’s territory, but isn’t Billy still a knight of Valha?


    “???? ? ???? ???.”


    Crossed the line.


    Either Hans or Kevin.


    They didn’t treat Valha at all.


    Hans couldn’t set a date for an appointment, so he showed a clear answer, and Kevin used indiscriminate violence even though he knew he belonged to Valha.


    My stomach swelled up.


    I wanted to immediately go to Roman Dmitri and point out their mistakes and throw them out.


    but.


    It couldn’t be.


    Did you say that a thirsty person digs a well?


    The Valha royal family wanted a lot from him to end his rtionship with Roman Dmitri in a catastrophic way.


    dump.


    “Roman Dmitry. He had a childish side to him.”


    sat down on the sofa


    The actions of Hans and Kevin.


    It must have been Roman Dmitri’s order.


    It was likely that Roman Dmitry, who had had a bad affair with the Valha royal family, ordered it to be done for personal revenge.


    It was as rumored.


    Roman Dmitri was said to be a fairly radical figure, but he did not know that even the Valha Empire would stimte it this way in a situation where he was hostile to the Kronos Empire.


    “… I’ll bear with you just this once.”


    I suppressed my anger.


    Just once.


    I thought we should meet somehow.


    Meet him and he will tell you what will happen if you drag your rtionship with the Valha Empire like this.


    “Let’s see if he shows the same attitude then as he does now.”


    gritted it


    Revenge begins with patience.


    Count Bragan’s eyes turned cold.


    As hey down on the sofa, he began to picture in his head what it would be like to meet Roman Dmitri.


    * * *


    That time.


    Roman Dmitri was conducting a video conference with the kings of the three southern kingdoms of Kronos through a magicmunicator.


    beyond the screen.


    said King Umberto.


    [It is no longer possible to ept Odelia’s refugees. Due to them, incidentsrge and small are constantly urring in the border area, and the problem is that even if they are punished, the fundamental problem cannot be solved. Refugees whomit serious crimes immediately flee to thewless area of Odelia. Since there is no government responsible and punishable for their actions, thewless zone is literally and of indulgence for criminals.] [


    That’s right. There are increasing cases of Frankish criminals crossing Odelia’s borders as soon as they are wanted.]


    Odelia’s destruction.


    It created an unexpected problem.


    The lords of Odelia, who had lost their royal family, thought only of their own safety, and awless zone was formed outside the territories that were divided into dozens.


    It was a total mess.


    The people who settled in the ruined capitalmitted crimes to survive, but the lords of Odelia did not think of punishing them.


    It was extreme selfishness.


    No one in Odelia was waiting for someone to solve the mess rather than set it right.


    In the meantime, Odelia was on the sidelines.


    Precisely, when the war with Cronus might start again, he couldn’t disperse his troops to Odelia.


    Cronus sent a clear warning by blowing up Odelia’s capital.


    Even if they epted the armistice negotiations, the same thing could happen if they overlooked the existence of the Kronos Empire.


    And now.


    said Roman Dmitry.


    “I think the same. Odelia can no longer stand by. In the meantime, Odelia’s situation has been postponed due toplex issues, but now is the time to sort things out. In order to prepare for the war with Cronus, Odelia, which exists at the southwest end, must be stabilized. If their existence remains as a factor of discord, it will surely have a negative impact on the Southern Three Kingdoms.”


    Southern Three Kingdoms.


    At the rear of them was Odelia.


    It was a matter of timing, but it was an existence that they had to solve somehow.


    King Redford asked.


    [Are you okay? The process of arranging Odelia will never be easy. It is a problem to clean up thewless zone, but the biggest problem is to present a system that the existing powers can understand.]


    “Now is the right time. This cannot be resolved except now, with Kronos stepping back in a truce and Valha engulfed in civil war. And we have no reason to care about those in power in Odelia. Even if the royal family they followed perished, it does not change the fact that Odelia sided with Cronus.”


    This.


    It was another war.


    It was not necessary to create an environment for Odelia, but to properly merge them.


    “I will send some of Dmitri’s troops. For this problem, the priority is to remove the anxiety factor in the rear. If the people of thewless zone and the existing powers rebel, it is safe to ssify them as enemies.”


    [Okay.]


    [I’ll handle it that way.]


    The video conference is over.


    Odelia’s problem.


    It was a matter for the three southern kingdoms to take the lead.


    Roman Dmitri intended to step back and focus on the problems of Valha, only presenting the dispatch of troops and guidance.


    A week has passed since then.


    After carrying out the n he had conceived in his head to some extent, Roman Dmitri summoned Hans and gave orders.


    “Call Count Hans Bragan.”


    “All right.”


    Count of Bragan.


    Finally, the moment he had been waiting for had arrived.
