It was still a time when there was an uproar over the Barco family issue..
Rihanna Dmitry went out to a social gathering for the first time in a while..
“Oh my, you're here!?”
“I was waiting for you to come!”
At her appearance, all the wives in the northeastern region who had gathered in groups in advance stood up in joy..
this meeting.
The host was Helena of the Meloch family..
He was originally known as a pro-Dmitry person, but when the Barko family collapsed and Dmitry's stock price rose, he quickly scheduled a meeting..
it was some kind of show off.
To show that in the future, the northeastern region will be dominated by Dmitry, the ladies with heavy hips moved in large numbers..
however.
New faces other than existing members were also seen..
The wives, who were more pro-Barko than Dmitry, welcomed Rihanna's appearance with a fake smile..
“I think you're getting prettier day by day..”
“Rihanna, we have prepared a special wine for you. Please think of it as my heart and enjoy it comfortably..”
The intention was clearly visible..
Barco's Fall.
The wives of noble families who had fallen out of favor expressed their intention to attend this meeting in order to somehow cling to Dmitry..
Pride didn't matter.
I visited Helena of the Meloch family every day and became acquainted with her, and I asked her to give me the opportunity to meet Rihanna Dmitri just once..
this situation.
Rihanna was informed in advance..
She wasn't one to enjoy awkward conversations, but she knew how to act now..
“thank you.”
Grinning.
As if it were natural.
I received hospitality and gifts from those around me..
There is something people often misunderstand.
The Dmitry family believes that Baron Romero's wealth brought them to their current position, but behind it all was Rihanna Dmitry's dedication..
Rihanna created her own faction by attracting wives from all over the Northeast..
That was a political ability that Baron Romero could not achieve, and the wives who hung out with Rihanna formed a pro-Dmitri faction..
If the plan had not been made in advance in that way, Dmitry might have fallen before he even took his place due to the Barko family's checks..
Dmitry's wife.
She encouraged the hosting of this meeting and naturally proved Dmitry's changed status in a small society..
“Thank you everyone for attending this meeting. The reason we gathered together was not for any special purpose, but because we thought that as people living in the same area, we needed time to at least understand and get to know each other. Of course, we have not all been moving in the same direction until now. However, as the situation has changed, changes are needed to accommodate the changed reality..”
Remains in plain sight).
There was a bone in the horse.
Rihanna subtly touched those who were on Barco's side, and at the same time showed generosity in accepting them..
Hereby.
After the meeting, the wives will return to the family home and tell Dmitri that he should behave well..
It was a small but very big difference.
Rihanna knew very well from her past experience that bringing in Barco's wives and showing room for cooperation would lead to big results in the future..
The Dmitry family became a powerhouse in the northeast thanks to Rihanna's help. To others, it may seem like nothing more than a bunch of wives gathered together and talking leisurely, but this will further solidify Dmitry's power..
like that.
We chatted for a while and enjoyed refreshments..
The wives, who had been sipping tea while asking each other how they were doing, suddenly began to focus on one topic of interest..
“Rihanna, what do you think of our Veronica? I think she would be a great match for Roman..”
Helena's words.
For a moment, the wives' expressions hardened..
arranged marriage.
This is truly common in the world of nobility..
But where does this arranged marriage begin??
It was a gathering of wives..
No matter how other people reacted, Helena, who had the luck of the arranged marriage first, immediately added:.
“Roman is already 25 years old. For the sake of a bright future, I think we need to quickly get a wise wife and start a family. And this is a compliment to my daughter, so it's embarrassing, but I think our Veronica will get along well with Roman. Is this a useless ploy, hohoho.”
Helena covered her mouth and laughed..
The atmosphere became strangely cold..
6 years ago from now.
Roman Dmitry was the king of the aristocratic world..
I really wanted to be part of the Dmitri family, but the fact that he was the eldest son and would not inherit the family was holding me back..
at that time.
Apparently Helena said this.
“Veronica is still too young to be Roman's mate. When you get a little older, think about it then..”
She is also pro-Dmitri.
I was reluctant to enter into an arranged marriage with Roman..
Even so, there was no family that welcomed Roman, to the extent that he secretly mentioned marrying his second son..
It was the same for other people too.
People who had similar attitudes to Helena showed discomfort with Helena's remarks..
“Hey, Veronica and Roman are a little like that, aren’t they? I understand that Veronica had an arranged marriage with the heir of another family not long ago. Helena, I understand your greed, but Roman is too much..”
Mrs 1.
He was a person who had been scolded by Roman in the past when he looked at Roman's ugly face in front of Rihanna. She even asked if she was upset when Dmitry called him a jerk, but now she values Roman highly..
“that's right. Rihanna and Roman need to choose their marriage carefully. Rather than limiting your options, it would be better to meet a variety of people. With that in mind, please visit my family sometime later. Actually, she didn't say it on purpose, but she said that our child fell in love with Roman at first sight..”
Mrs 2.
She was also the type of person who would have hated Roman..
As if she had completely forgotten her past actions, she readily recommended Jin Jook-yeop's daughter as Roman's spouse..
There was an uproar.
The fight ignited by Helena.
The wives who attended the social gathering all showed their greed for Roman. It wasn't just about her daughter's parents. If he didn't have a daughter, he coveted Roman, even citing her cousin's relationship..
It was a really funny sight.
Barco's Incident.
As a result, Roman's stock price rose through the roof..
It had to be that way..
Roman proved his potential as a four-star swordsman by defeating Homer. It means a solid future, and if he were to inherit the Dmitry family, there would be no better son-in-law..
It was the moment when I changed from a guy to a man of all people..
Not long ago, the breakup of the engagement with Lawrence was a big stain, but now, the mood was not paying any attention to the stain on Roman's potential..
rather.
People thought it was a good thing Lawrence didn't snatch Roman away..
widely.
“I'm glad that everyone thinks well of my son..”
Rihanna puts down her teacup.
current mood.
It wasn't all bad.
However, she had no intention of using her son politically..
“Roman went through great pain not long ago. He promised to marry the Lawrence family, but he had no choice but to break off the engagement for bad reasons. At that time, this thought occurred to me. Let’s not inflict the same pain on Roman, who experienced pain due to love. So, to me, talking about an arranged marriage has no meaning. I hope Roman meets someone he truly loves, and who also loves Roman. That's all I want as Roman's spouse..”
A clear line was drawn.
There is no arranged marriage.
the problem is.
That remark actually ignited the wives' competitive spirit..
‘In other words, regardless of the conditions, the person who gets Roman first is the owner.?’
everyone's man.
Due to their greed for Roman, the expressions of the noble wives changed unusually..
* * *
After the war.
Flora locked herself in her room..
Fortunately, Lawrence was able to overcome the risk of extinction, but what she experienced on the battlefield shocked her..
‘You need strength to survive in this world.’
Lawrence and Barco.
In fact, it is a battle that Lawrence lost..
Lawrence could not afford neither the flare prepared by Barco nor Homer..
According to the knowledge he had read in the book, he had a good chance of winning if he could survive until winter, but in the reality that confronted him, there was not much he could do..
The feeling of helplessness at that time cannot be explained in words. Looking at the enemy troops rushing in like a swarm of ants, Flora felt completely broken mentally..
however.
Roman was different..
The power of one individual overthrew Barco and achieved victory in a battle that was likely to result in defeat..
‘How on earth can I become that strong??’
It was amazing.
It's not just about individual power..
Roman showed the boldness of attacking Barco's rear with a small number of troops, and even after hearing the name of Homer, the 49th ranker, he said that he would deal with him himself..
It was truly amazing courage..
It was the confidence of someone with power, and at that time, Roman seemed different..
onetime.
There was an ideal type of person that one dreamed of..
At some point, that imaginary being who was confident in everything began to overlap little by little with Roman..
Shaking my head.
“no.”
I shook my head.
I hated the person Roman himself..
I didn't think that someone who was very selfish and only looked out for his own benefit was my ideal type..
but.
I wanted to find out a little bit..
How can you be so strong.
What kind of person is Roman?.
The problem was that the relationship had already broken off when the engagement was broken, and there was no way for Flora to meet Roman again..
‘Let's focus on my reality for now.’
I turned my attention to the book..
I wanted to become stronger too.
Like Roman.
I hoped for the strength to solve problems in any situation..
Therefore, even after the war ended, she stayed alone in her room, and a mountain of books piled up near her..
Books are not the perfect solution.
But at least.
I wanted to relieve the feeling of being in a maze just a little bit..
How many days has passed like that?.
When she came out to get some fresh air, she found an unexpected visitor..
“Sister, it’s been a while.!”
“Sylvia……?”
It was a familiar face.
A woman with flowing light blue hair and the facial features of a typical beauty..
It was my cousin Sylvia..
‘What is he doing here??’
It was unexpected.
Sylvia's father was the younger brother of Viscount Lawrence, who gave up the title of Viscount to his older brother and established himself as a merchant in the capital..
Is it because I spent my childhood in the capital? Sylvia was very reluctant to come down to her hometown of Lawrence..
Like Flora, she inherited Lawrence's blood and had a pretty appearance, but was also called Lawrence's Witch due to her nervous and picky nature..
She like that.
Showing up in Lawrence.
Knowing how much Sylvia hates Lawrence, Flora could not help but think that her appearance was sudden..
“What brings you to Lawrence? and…….”
looked the other person up and down.
It was pretty.
Looking at the beautiful dress, I felt like I had not visited for an ordinary purpose..
“What is that outfit again?.”
“What's going on? They say they're holding a grand party for the eldest son of the Dmitry family. My uncle contacted me saying that my pretty self should grace the occasion, so I came in a month. But sister. Is Roman Dmitry such an amazing and wonderful man? I'm dying to know how much everyone is bragging about it..”
Sylvia made a fuss..
Seeing her showing off her looks, Flora felt slightly uncomfortable for a moment..
“……It's a party for Dmitry's eldest son.?”
It's not small news.
Of course you should know.
If even Sylvia came to Lawrence, it would be right for him to be preparing for the party by now..
however.
‘Why is this my first time hearing this??’
Dmitry's party.
Flora didn't know anything about it.
