At first I didn't know what was going on.

Flora caught the soldier coming out of the office and only then did she realize what had happened in Lawrence..

‘oh my god.’

Blood Fang.

A group called a vicious criminal group near Lawrence..

At one time, the noble families made a move to eradicate them, but they eventually gave up due to their sneaky, rat-like ability to always retaliate..

So for Flora, the Blood Fang remained an unsolvable problem..

There would be no problem as long as I didn't touch them, so I tried to avoid associating with them as much as possible..

The day we broke off our engagement.

Roman said he would deal with them..

Flora unknowingly stopped Roman because she took responsibility for breaking off the engagement with him..

at that time.

“We are now South and South. So, I'll take care of my business..”

Roman drew a line..

They clearly stated that they should not get involved in each other's lives since the connection of arranged marriage has disappeared..

It was absurd.

I was angry and didn't understand the other person..

Is this my last remaining pride??

Are you embarrassed by the fact that you broke off the engagement, so you feel relieved only if you come out harshly like this?.

I had a lot of thoughts.

Of course, I didn't think Roman would put his words into practice..

however.

‘We really took down the Blood Fang..’

What I thought was ridiculous has become reality.

What others wouldn't even dare to do, Roman did it in just a few days..

common sense has collapsed.

Dmitry's jerk?

that was a false rumor.

Even if Knight Commander Jonathan had helped, Roman, whom he had personally seen and experienced, was not a person so insignificant that he could be called a simpleton..

He knew how to take responsibility for his actions and had the ability to keep his word..

And since he had personally executed Ben Miles, the leader of the Blood Fang, there was a high probability that the rumor that he was a half-pun who could not even swing a sword was false..

why?

Did Roman keep his mouth shut despite the world’s judgment?.

If Flora had known his true identity even a little earlier, she would have made an effort to get to know Roman..

It's already too late to regret.

The water was spilled and Flora was called to her father..

Father praising Roman.

I don't know what happened in the office, but my father, who was completely in love with Roman, poured cold water on his face..

“……We broke off our engagement.”

Flora's remarks.

For Viscount Laurence, it was like a bolt from the blue..

Flora.

This is Viscount Lawrence's forbidden jade leaf..

I wondered if she would fly away when the wind blew. I had raised my daughter with care all my life, but I couldn't tolerate it this time..

“They already announced the breakup of the engagement.?!”

Viscount Lawrence jumps up from his seat.

Flora's heart raced as she saw her father's anger for the first time, but she tried to keep a calm face and expressed her thoughts..

“yes. The last time I visited Dmitry's estate, I expressed my intention. I also wanted to do something for my family according to my father's wishes, but no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't afford to marry someone I couldn't respect.…….”

“Flora. I thought you were a really smart kid. but not this.”

I stopped talking..

Unlike usual, I didn't want to listen to my daughter's words until the end..

“This father said it before. How serious is the situation in the territory? Now the Barco family has borrowed a large amount of money from the Golden Bank to prepare for war with us. Did you make that choice knowing what it meant? There is no more compromise with the Barco family. They will use this issue as an excuse to kneel down on us and take everything away for a just cause. It does not simply refer to gold and silver treasures. Our land, our honor, and even you, the flower of Lawrence. It means taking everything away..”

“Lawrence is not weak. Even if it's Barco, it's not like there's no chance of winning, right??”

“yes. If only the Barco family had come forward, we could have thought that way. The problem is that the 'central government' approved a document whose authenticity has not been confirmed, and that Golden Bank lent money to the Barco family without any special collateral. This is not just a fight between two families. The forces that lent their power to the Barco family will create a fight in which we have no choice but to lose, if only for their own benefit..”

“…….”

Flora's eyes wavered..

she was smart.

He was called a gifted child from a young age, and boasted a bright mind that allowed him to complete the academy course early..

But that was just corner knowledge..

at the academy.

And in the library.

Not the cold reality, but what we learned written in books..

She thought Lawrence had nothing to push against, but the reality he faced was not ideal..

Viscount Lawrence said.

“An arranged marriage with the Dmitry family was an unavoidable choice. Among the families located in the northeast, they were the only family that could provide the strength to solve the Barco family's evil, so this father asked for your permission. Will she be able to sacrifice herself for the family's crisis? Of course, it was difficult for you to refuse, but if you had refused then, you wouldn't have been as angry as you are now. You would have taken a step back since you would have to choose a marriage partner you like from among other prestigious families. But not now. Previously, you were Lawrence's flower that everyone admired, but now you have been left with a blemish due to the decision to break off the engagement. Other families will try to observe the situation. Proceeding with marriage simply for the sake of marrying you in this situation would be a very dangerous choice..”

world of power.

Choice comes at a high cost.

Lawrence, who had acquired the name Dmitry through an arranged marriage, lost even more due to the breakup of the engagement..

Just now.

Viscount Lawrence met Roman.

He was a good guy.

A man with sharp eyes and an attitude that does not seem intimidating even when facing him..

And judging from the way he dealt with the Blood Fangs for the people of the territory, it seemed like he cared especially for his own people..

so it felt good.

Even if it is an arranged marriage.

Because the other person is not as stupid as rumored..

In a situation where Lawrence had no other options, I felt truly fortunate that that option was not the worst..

But I spilled the water.

Thanks to this, everything I had prepared to deal with the Barco family became useless..

“In the past, the Barco family had requested an arranged marriage from us. They must have been coveting our fertile land. At that time, I flatly refused. No matter what benefits they gave us, the reason for their refusal was the fact that the eldest son of the Barco family was heavily influenced by women. And if you lose this war, you will become the woman of the Barko family, not Dmitri. That's reality. At least before the war, you were in a position to choose your opponent, but when you hit the ground, the situation is different..”

Reasons for arranged marriage.

The reason why I had no choice but to make that decision even though my heart was torn apart..

Because the opponent is Barco.

Knowing what it would mean to lose to those who had been targeting Lawrence for a long time, Viscount Lawrence accepted reality..

Flora's heart sank..

her perspective.

There were no stories like this in that world..

What were Barko's intentions and what did he hope to gain by marrying Dmitri?.

she was naive.

I chose to break off the engagement because I had a pure heart in a cruel world, and I didn't expect what the consequences would be..

cold reality.

Viscount Laurence took a deep breath..

There was still time to pick up the water..

“For now, take some time to think about what mistakes you made. I will make another appointment with Dmitry and make the breakup of our engagement a non-issue. my daughter We are nobles. They are not in a position where they have to worry about making a living like commoners, but because they have a lot of things, they are in a position where they have a lot of responsibility. So please pray that this problem will be resolved. If Dmitri rejects us coldly, then our chances of winning the war against the Barko family will be slim..”

Fortunately, the breakup of the engagement was not known to the public..

The only way to correct mistakes is now.

Viscount Lawrence left the office, leaving behind a shocked Flora..

There was a lot of work to be done from now on..

that time.

Roman left Lawrence with the knights of Dmitry.

way to go.

Knight Commander Jonathan glanced at Roman's appearance..

‘Is this really the Master Roman I know?.’

roman.

The Roman he knows is not a person born with a heart that can look straight at Viscount Lawrence..

Plus, dealing with the Blood Fang..

It was full of questions.

I usually didn't really talk to Roman, but now I couldn't stop my mouth from itching..

“Master, was it really necessary to provoke Viscount Lawrence like that? It was fortunate that it wasn't a big problem, but if Viscount Lawrence had been angry and angry, even if he was a master, he wouldn't have been able to avoid punishment..”

In a place where you are reprimanded.

Roman rather criticized his opponent..

Jonathan was so surprised at that time that he went up to stop Roman..

“Was there a need for that?.”

Roman laughed..

necessary?

There wasn't.

It was best to resolve it positively on the spot, but in an atmosphere of reprimanding myself, I deliberately changed my attitude..

“Lawrence is not free from responsibility in this matter. Their complacent attitude neglected the Blood Fang, and as a result, the people of Dmitri's territory were harmed. So I just reviewed the facts. The fact that you have no right to reprimand me on the spot. And even if things had gone wrong, Viscount Laurence wouldn't have punished me. Judging by the atmosphere, it seemed like he didn't know about the breakup of the engagement yet, and he wouldn't make such a foolish decision to punish the child of the family he was about to marry..”

“……!”

Roman's actions.

It wasn't an act of unreasonable words or actions..

Roman was judging the situation accurately and made enough remarks to handle it..

“In the first place, this is a family that does not communicate properly even on important matters such as breaking off an engagement. Still, do you think he needs to be forgiven for his mistakes? I solved the problems they couldn't solve, I received praise when I received it, and had no reason to be reprimanded..”

A confident attitude and a confident voice.

That moment.

Jonathan was sure.

‘Master has changed.’

Roman Dmitry.

He wasn't the jerk he used to be..

* * *

Roman arrived home..

He immediately soaked in the bathtub and washed away the blood from his body with warm water..

‘Even in my new life, my fundamentals do not change..’

killed someone.

at least a few dozen people.

Blood Fang was killed like that, but he felt no guilt about it..

‘it was necessary.’

Roman, no, Baek Jung-hyuk.

He lived in a world of the fittest..

If he showed weakness and hesitated when he had to kill someone, Baek Jung-hyuk's life would have ended when he was young..

So, if you made a decision, make sure to take action..

Those who blocked the road were cut down without the slightest hesitation, and in many cases, torture was used if necessary..

That was Baek Jung-hyuk’s life..

Becoming Roman doesn't change anything..

If there is a being that reveals murderous intent towards you,.

Dealing with it by any means necessary is the way Baek Jung-hyuk has lived so far..

If the same thing happens in the future.

Roman will always make the same judgment..

Whether the opponent is Blood Fang.

Or, someone more..

Roman lived the life of a predator who lived by eating others..

“Master, the lord is calling you..”

It was when I finished showering..

At Hans' words, Roman changed into clean clothes and walked away..

And arrived at the office.

However, Baron Romero, who he thought would criticize his reckless actions, was looking at him with bright eyes..

An expression that says it can't hide its huge expectations.

Baron Romero said.

“Yeah, you took care of the Blood Fang yourself.?”

Jonathan standing next to.

He must have been informed of the situation..

The meaning of the question was clear.

Roman's father.

Before becoming Lord Dmitry, he was the father of one son and could not hide his excitement at the fact that his eldest son had changed..
