117While staying in the Tue capital (1)
After the war with Hector.
Upon hearing the news that Roman Dmitry was returning to the capital, Hans headed straight to the capital with Baron Romero's permission..
Even back then.
It was a time when Roman’s achievements were not well known..
Baron Romero was very worried about his son and hoped that Hans would be sent to take care of Roman..
Hans arrived in the capital like that..
As he was organizing the lodgings that the royal family had given him consideration in advance, he suddenly met a person who came to visit him..
“……Master Lauren?”
“hans.”
It was Lauren Dmitri..
He still had the same youthful look on his face as when he left Dmitry, and he hovered around Hans and asked him trivial matters..
At first it was about the family's well-being..
Is your father well, and is there any particular problem with your mother? Hans, who already knew that Lauren Dmitry had contacted the family a few days ago, knew that he had something in mind for him..
waited.
Please tell me first.
After the meaningless conversation went on for a while, Lauren Dmitri spoke in a cautious voice..
“But Hans.”
“please speak.”
“Did anything special happen to Brother Roman while I was away in the capital? No, from what I remember, Roman had no interest in swordsmanship, and I saw him returning to the capital a little while ago, escorted by guards. What people say... … Roman said he beat Hector’s ranker..”
I hesitated several times while speaking..
I believed it wasn't true.
Even though he saw it with his own eyes and heard it with his ears, Lauren Dmitry could not readily accept Roman's change..
hans said.
“A lot has happened to Dmitri while Master Lauren was away. I think you probably heard the rumors spreading in the world. He broke off the engagement with the Lawrence family, went to war with the Barco family, defeated Homer, and this time went to the southern front and made great contributions. People who knew Master Roman think it's a lie, but there's nothing wrong with it..”
“……That's really true?”
“yes. How could I tell a lie to you? Thanks to Master Roman's changes in behavior, Lord Romero has been really happy lately. Instead of just saying this, how about meeting it in person? I heard that you are coming to my accommodation this evening. When you meet him in person, you will be able to see how Master Roman has changed..”
Hans' suggestion.
Lauren Dmitry averted his gaze..
“no. that's okay.”
It was an ambiguous response.
He said it was okay with his mouth, but his hesitation while watching Hans' reaction seemed to be different from his words..
at last.
Lauren Dmitry did not say purpose.
After hesitating for a while, he left the dorm, telling Hans to work hard..
* * *
Hans assisted Dmitry for many years..
I invested most of that time in Roman, but because of the years I spent together, I knew the tendencies of Master Dmitry..
‘There's something wrong.’
Lauren Dmitri.
He is a soft-hearted person..
Dmitry's three sons were all born with different personalities..
Roman and Rodwell still inherited their father's fiery and strong temperament, but Lauren Dmitri grew up to be a different son from his two older brothers, as his father wanted him to have a daughter..
To be exact, she resembles her mother..
He is cautious in everything and doesn't make any hasty moves, but sometimes he is timid and frustrating..
In Hans' view.
If Lauren Dmitri came to visit in person, it seemed like there was a big problem..
So I looked into it myself..
After conducting research through the Royal Academy, it was not difficult to find out what Lauren Dmitri's concerns were..
That fact.
Hans said to Roman.
“It seems that Master Lauren is being bullied by his classmates at the academy. Even in the past, when Master Lauren fell on the floor and scraped her knee, she never once said she was in pain. However, such a master came to see me and asked me for a long time about Master Roman. I think she wanted to ask for help, but I couldn't ask what was wrong..”
royal academy.
I heard it well.
It is a gateway that must be passed through to achieve success, and all the nobles of the Kingdom of Cairo enrolled their children here..
A place where future power gathers. Perhaps that is why problems arising in human relationships continued at the Cairo Royal Academy..
The children of the central government nobles openly discriminated against other nobles, and in particular, those from the periphery, such as Lauren Dmitry, were not treated as equal nobles..
At least.
It would be different if he proved his skills like Rodwell Dmitry, but Lauren Dmitry had neither the skills nor the background..
The situation was clearly visible..
Hans asked in an earnest voice, deliberately not mentioning the sensitive issue..
“……young master. This may be presumptuous, but could you please meet Master Lauren??”
Meeting Lauren.
It was an unplanned plan..
Roman was planning to return to Dmitry soon, but an unexpected presence suddenly appeared before his eyes..
‘Lauren Dmitry. I said he was the youngest brother with an age difference from me..’
I searched my memory.
the relationship wasn't bad.
Rodwell Dmitry denied the existence of Roman and responded that he would not deprive Roman of a single right even though he was the second son..
From then on, the bone-to-bone conflict between the brothers began..
During the fierce competition between Roman and Rodwell, Roman reached his limits and eventually fell into the abyss..
On the contrary.
Lauren had nothing to do with the power struggle..
Regardless of the age difference, Lauren Dmitry only followed his older brothers around and showed no interest in power..
‘There is no need to take care of him just because he is your younger brother..’
but.
They are immediate family.
It wasn't that he was trying to take care of his younger brother fondly based on memories he had never experienced, but he thought it was worth meeting Lauren at least once as the inheritor of Dmitry's last name..
That's the place to judge Lauren Dmitry..
Baek Jung-hyuk showed cruelty by killing all the brothers who threatened his life and rose to the top, but on the contrary, he readily accepted new relationships such as Hans and Baron Romero, which gave him positive feelings..
The standard of judgment is.
It was decided by oneself in this life..
Just because he has Dmitri's last name, Roman won't help Lauren in her difficulties..
“i get it. Let's meet sometime.”
“young master!”
Hans smiles brightly.
Roman thought that maybe he listened to Hans' request..
* * *
When Roman was taking a break.
There was a person who was busy moving around..
‘The signing of Roman Dmitry has been postponed indefinitely. However, there are still ways to score points with Marquis Benedict..’
It was Count Fabius..
He, who was actively pursuing the task of appeasing Roman, became a duck egg in the Nakdong River due to Roman's declaration..
In that situation.
He came up with a new solution.
‘Everyone is only looking at Roman Dmitry, but in fact, the subordinates who followed him were also formidable talents. I was really embarrassed at first. Dmitry is a family from the outskirts, but talented people who are hard to find even in the capital are following Roman Dmitry. If you can appease them, Marquis Benedict will definitely be very pleased..’
In the middle of the battlefield.
Count Fabius saw clearly.
As soon as the order to help Roman was given, his men slaughtered the enemies with overwhelming force..
Especially Chris.
Presence became more prominent.
He was once called Dmitri's genius swordsman, but he was nothing more than an unknown in the capital, and the sight of him cutting down Hector's aura swordsmen at the same time gave me a thrill..
No matter how much I thought about it, Chris didn't look older than his 20s..
In fact, other beings failed to shine as Roman Dmitry defeated Butler in his mid-20s, but Chris' growth far exceeded that of others of a similar age..
It was certain.
Chris was a talent that any noble in the capital would welcome with open arms..
‘This is the experience in the field. If I hadn't gone down to the southern front myself, Roman Dmitri would have thought that this was the only gift that would make Marquis Benedict happy. First, let's attack Roman step by step. Roman's subordinates, including Chris. If I make them on our side and order them to slowly appease Roman's heart, I can immediately become a person trusted by Marquis Benedict..’
One hit, two wins).
I kept laughing.
I didn't think about rejection.
Why??
Not even Roman Dmitry, guys like Chris were confident in making an offer they couldn't refuse..
Roman and his men.
It was only a matter of time before they were appeased..
* * *
Roman gave Chris and his subordinates a vacation..
a fierce war.
Since they were entitled to compensation and a large vacation allowance was paid, the soldiers dispersed and enjoyed their rest..
chris.
He remained alone in the training center..
When I remembered my time on the southern front, I couldn't rest..
‘When I first met my lord. The lord was clearly within reach of me. So he promised that he would surpass his lord at any moment, but in a short period of time, his lord rose to a level that was completely different from mine..’
It was shocking.
Confrontation with Butler.
Common sense dictates that Roman will lose, but Chris somehow believed that Roman would win..
just as expected.
Butler collapsed, spattered with blood..
Hector's proud five-star swordsman.
He lost against Roman Dmitry, who was not much different from him just half a year ago..
how.
How is that possible?.
I tried to understand in my head, but there was no answer..
‘What is certain is that I am improving rapidly by my master's side. I just followed my master's back. Over the past six months, we have achieved such rapid growth that even I couldn't believe it. I still don't understand what I'm experiencing. My lord is showing a speed of development that is beyond common sense, and all the knowledge he tells me is a treasure..’
Seomjeon.
This is not knowledge that a baronial family on the border would possess..
If it had originally been Dmitry's, it was clear that the Dmitry family would have made a name for themselves as a renowned sword family..
That means.
It means that Roman created it..
Just as he doubted the principles of aura, Roman Dmitry showed himself as a pioneer creating a new world..
blast furnace.
your choice was right.
I was confident that I would improve just by following Roman Dmitry, and now I didn't want to stop as I saw myself getting stronger every moment..
If you show even the slightest complacency.
Roman Dmitry felt as if he would move on to a world he could never reach..
The goal is to take him down..
I'm serious.
That's why he swung his sword at the training ground where everyone had left..
It was then.
“Are you Chris??”
It was a familiar voice.
When I turned my head, Count Fabius was looking at Chris with a kind smile..
