67Baron Romero's Troubles (4)
waiting for hendrick.
Baron Romero recalled a memory from the past..
3years ago.
At the meeting to decide on the successor, Hendrick reacted passionately to the vassal's comment that he was still the eldest son..
“Is being the eldest son important enough to throw the family's future into the ground? Yes, Roman is the eldest son of the Dmitry family. And if you go out on the street and ask what kind of person Roman Dmitry is, ten out of ten people will click their tongues and say that Dmitry is a jerk. Do you still want Roman to be Dmitry's successor? Please everyone, come to your senses.!”
I spewed out anger..
and.
He made a statement that put an end to the controversy..
“My lord. Dmitry's roots lie in the blacksmith shop. Most of the lord's followers work in iron mines and blacksmiths, but what would everyone think if the next successor did not know how to handle iron at all? There is nothing more funny than that. And it's not like we don't have any other alternatives. Rodwell Dmitry learned his trade by doing odd jobs at a blacksmith shop from an early age. There is an outstanding talent who has proven his talent even in the capital, but I think appointing Roman Dmitry as his successor is a decision that puts the family in danger..”
Hendrick puts down his gun..
The part where everyone had no choice but to be cautious.
In response to the statement to take down the eldest son from the position of successor, all the vassals also added their words and supported Hendrick..
like that.
Rodwell Dmitry was chosen as the successor..
Roman, unaware of the fact, continued to live like a scumbag and convinced his vassals that their judgment was right..
‘3Now, a year later, Roman has changed. Even the vassals who were passionate like Hendrick asked them to reconsider the possibility of Roman's successor, and the public sentiment of the iron mines and the general territory residents was no different. However, this does not exclude the opinion of Hendrick, the blacksmith master. As he said, Dmitry's roots lie in the blacksmith shop, so we cannot blindly support Roman, who was negligent in his duties as his successor..’
I had a headache.
son's growth.
The problem could have been easily solved if he had proven his worth a little sooner, but now that he was worried about the succession issue, it was bound to be a headache..
Showing good form recently was a separate issue..
Although Roman has grown as a swordsman and shown shocking moves, the important thing for Hendrik as Dmitri's successor is whether he understands the work of a blacksmith..
There was no doubt that it was the basic knowledge of the Dmitry family..
If you were in charge of the family, you would have to manage the blacksmith's affairs yourself, but there was no way Hendrick would accept and follow orders from a guy who knew nothing..
hendrick.
He was a master blacksmith and colleague of Baron Romero..
If such a person was opposed, even Baron Romero could not force the succession issue..
‘Hendrick will probably strongly disagree with my opinion. Still, I have no choice but to ask. Since the general public wants Roman, if Hendrick opposes it, then we will have to discuss the current issue again..’
it wasn't a guess.
strong confidence.
Having seen Hendrick for a long time, I was sure how he would react..
however.
“Of course I agree. I believe that Master Roman Dmitry is fully qualified to be the successor..”
When Hendrick actually met him, he made a statement that was different from what was expected..
Baron Romero blinked in disbelief..
If it's Hendrick.
If you are a blacksmith master.
It was natural for Gil-gil to go wild and vent his anger at the remark about appointing Roman as successor again..
“……Are you serious??”
“How could I lie to my lord? There was a time when Roman Dmitry was thought to be unfit as a successor. But it's different now. As he recently proved in his war against Barko, Roman has put in his blood and sweat in places we don't see. As a result, he was able to grow as an aura swordsman, and shows an attitude of understanding Dmitri to the point of working in the iron mine himself..”
I couldn't believe it when I heard it.
Hendrick defends Roman..
As if he wasn't done talking yet, Hendrick recalled an incident from the past..
“Actually, there was an incident with Roman not long ago. Roman asked me to arm his soldiers, but out of antipathy towards Roman, I told him to take bad items. But do you know what Roman said to me then? You shot at me, saying that your act of handing over these items as soldiers' weapons is no different from murder. you're right. It was an action that violated the spirit of craftsmanship, but that night, as I carefully looked back at Roman's actions, this thought occurred to me..”
today.
Hendrick saw Roman’s true colors..
Memories of the past were glorified, and even the disagreement with Roman was arbitrarily interpreted as a good memory(?).
“Master Roman has the insight to suit the Dmitri family. Otherwise, the general public cannot accurately determine the condition of the items. And today I witnessed Master Roman working in the blacksmith shop. I see him absorbed in his work while facing the scorching heat in front of the fire in the oven... … . Ha, that was a sight I couldn't help but fall in love with as a fellow blacksmith..”
At one time.
It was called a bad relationship..
However, from the moment he received Roman's gift, Hendrick fell in love with Roman..
Hendrick handed over the sword..
Baron Romero looked suspiciously at the sight of the sword shining brilliantly under the light..
“what is this?”
“This is a sword made by Master Roman himself. If you are a lord, you will recognize it right away. How great is this sword? At first, I didn't believe it was Master Roman's skills, but after seeing him work today, I knew it was true..”
Baron Romero widened his eyes..
The sword in front of you.
It was a famous sword.
Like Hendrick, Baron Romero immediately recognized the true value of the sword and could not hide his bewildered feelings..
“……What is this.”
how.
How did Roman make a sword like this?.
Roman’s recent actions.
Baron Romero had some regrets..
Although he is growing rapidly as a swordsman, the sight of him neglecting his family's duties was disappointing as someone who once risked his life in the blacksmith shop..
If it's your son.
I thought that if he was the eldest son of the Dmitry family, he should at least show an interest in blacksmithing, as Hendrik strongly insisted..
however.
Hendrick revealed the shocking truth.
This isn't just a result of interest, it proves that Roman is worthy of kicking and falling..
hendrick said.
“Dmitry's roots lie in the blacksmith shop. Although he chose Master Rodwell as his next successor three years ago, now that Master Roman is proving his worth, he may need to reconsider his decision..”
The situation has turned around.
Hendrick, who opposed the fundamentals.
Contrary to Baron Romero's intention to persuade the other party, he was actually trying to persuade Baron Romero..
“This is true.”
I laughed out loud.
hendrick.
Master Blacksmith.
It was the moment when the final gate that Baron Romero was worried about collapsed so vainly..
private office.
After sending Hendrick away, Baron Romero remained alone in his office and read the letter he had received a year ago..
[father. This is Rodwell. I was recently promoted to S class at Kairos Royal Academy. From now on, I will not only take theoretical classes, but also go to actual battles and gain experience as a commander. Father hopes that the Dmitry family will seek peace in the outskirts. But my dream is different. I will graduate with the highest grades from the Kairos Royal Academy, and as a proud son, I will definitely visit his father and show him the future of the new Dmitri..]
Rodwell Dmitry.
It was the second letter.
He was Dmitry's mutant.
Unlike Baron Romero, who lives a simple life, he is born with the nature of an ambitious person who always wants to be the best..
And it actually produced results..
The Kairos Royal Academy is the highest educational institution representing the Kingdom of Cairo, and being promoted to the highest class, S-Class, meant that Rodwell Dmitry's talent was recognized..
At one time, when I received a letter like this, my heart pounded at the prospect of a new Dmitry future..
He had hoped that Rodwell would gain wings based on the foundation he had laid well, but recently, his feelings were complicated by Roman's growth..
Roman and Rodwell.
Both are outstanding talents..
but.
Looking at his recent actions, Roman was not a talent that could simply be described as a talent..
‘Roman is a talent who will make a name for himself on the continent, not just in the Kingdom of Cairo. Rodwell clearly showed himself to be faithful to his duties as the successor to the family, but even Rodwell, who people call a genius, cannot compare to the current Roman. So what decision should I make for my two sons?.’
My worries were deep..
and.
made a decision.
The public wants Roman..
The family's vassals, Roman's servants, and the iron mine and blacksmith masters..
They said they wanted Roman to be the successor, but they couldn't push Rodwell to the end because they were tied down by past decisions..
blast furnace.
‘There is still time. After Rodwell graduates from the academy and Roman performs all of his military duties, then the competition for successor will begin in earnest. There is no distinction between the eldest son and the second son. If either of them shows he has what it takes to lead Dmitry, I will select and support him as the successor to the family..’
at las.
The headache-inducing worries are gone..
Baron Romero left his office..
For the first time in a long time, I felt like I could sleep well next to Rihanna..
* * *
last month.
What were the priests of Valhalla doing??
Willas, who should have arrived at Dmitri long ago, spent a considerable amount of time in an area completely opposite to him..
“Priest. The results of this ranking match seem truly shocking. Vertov, who was ranked 99th just a year ago, won a ranking match against Fernando, the 30th-ranked gatekeeper. When the new Cairo Kingdom ranking list is announced next year, everyone will be in an uproar. Vertov doesn't belong yet, does he??”
“I guess so.”
Willas reacted calmly to the apostle's words..
The day I was leaving for Dmitri.
They received an official ranking match request..
99Vertov, above, challenged Fernando to a ranking match, and Fernando accepted the challenge without hesitation..
long time.
The official ranking match was concluded.
The result was Fernando's defeat, and the resulting administrative process forced Willas to spend a lot of time.
Willas said.
“In fact, Fernando's defeat was predicted from the beginning. People reverence Fernando as the 30th-ranked gatekeeper, but even after reaching the level of a 4-star swordsman a long time ago, Fernando has never once entered the 20th-ranked realm. Eventually, the limit will have been reached. Anyway, I spent too much time on this ranking match. If everything had gone according to plan, he should have already arrived at Dmitry..”
“Do you want to see Roman Dmitry??”
“of course.”
The reason Willas is so calm.
It was because of Roman Dmitry..
Rumors continued to arise in the northeastern region..
The Barco family was destroyed, and Roman's skills in defeating Homer in the process are truly genuine..
Most didn't believe it.
but.
Still, Willas wanted to see Roman..
‘In common sense, it is correct to believe that a variable occurred in the confrontation with Homer. The problem is that the protagonist of the rumor, Roman Dmitry, was such a terrible person that he was called Dmitry's idiot. Even if the rumors of the Battle of Daejeonsa were exaggerated, it must mean that there was a change that shocked people..’
life in cairo.
It was truly free..
As a priest of Valhalla, Willas was sent on a mission, and with only half the term completed, he needed something interesting to do..
Then I heard Roman’s story..
People were excited about the fight between Vertov and Fernando, but Willas somehow wanted to see the truth about the northeastern area with his own eyes..
I hurried my steps.
I've taken care of everything for the rankings..
Now it was time to leave for Dmitry..
“Let's go to Dmitry first. Since Homer, ranked 49th, died in an unofficial match, we should check whether Roman Dmitry can at least enter the bottom of the ranking.?”
And a few days later.
The move didn't take long.
Before they knew it, Dmitry's gray walls began to appear before their eyes..
