History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 143

143fury. unexpected linkage effect (2)

Diego Lacona.

Son of Viscount Lacona.

He was once a young man with high expectations..

I wasn't a genius, but I was brilliant..

Thanks to his large physique, he was also very strong..

He also had quite a talent for swordsmanship..

He was praised several times by Sir Cournot, the knight of the territory..

Just like that, I grew up with expectations from people around me from a young age..

When I grew up, I entered the royal academy and studied..

It was pretty good so far.

I thought I was doing pretty well..

Lloyd Frontera.

Until I run into that devilish bastard.

‘however… … Why is this guy here??’

hiccup.

uvula fluttering loudly.

Goosebumps rise without me even knowing.

As he felt the happiness index graph plummeting into the realm of the negative dimension, Diego widened his eyes..

“uh? Uh oh…….”

What should I answer?.

My lips don't move like I thought.

The breath pushed up by the lungs rises into the throat..

It feels like my tongue has become stiff and I can't find where to turn..

In short, he was embarrassed..

“Why are you so surprised??”

Lloyd chuckled..

I gave strength to the arm around Diego's shoulder..

I gently pulled his head this way..

“Is it because it’s nice to meet you after a long time? So you didn’t hear well? So, dad, what are you doing now?.”

“That, that…….”

“huh. Tell me step by step.”

“that…….”

“am i scared?”

“…….”

Diego shut his mouth..

I hate to admit it, but I was scared..

Lloyd Frontera.

You should be angry when you see that guy..

The heat would have to reach enough to open the head cap..

To recall the memory of being brutally beaten and trampled by that guy last time, to think of the time that guy was expelled from the academy because he reported the academy's corruption to the king, and to think back to the fact that he was imprisoned for three months because of that.…….

‘I'm angry. So unbearable.’

He grew up with expectations from a young age..

He was also promising as a proud member of the Academy..

But not anymore.

Not only was he expelled from the academy, he was even imprisoned by the king's orders..

The meaning was clear.

Eternal expulsion from the world of public aristocracy.

You cannot hold any major official position in the royal family for life..

These days, I was returning to my hometown as if I was being kicked out..

I got angry from time to time..

I drank alcohol every time that happened..

Harassed servants and maids.

I had to vent my anger like that to calm down a bit..

It was the same today.

I called two servants and stopped them..

He told me to fight in front of him and get into a fistfight..

At first the servants were hesitant..

How can you do that?.

I don't want to fight.

I just hesitated.

So I brought a whip.

From now on, anyone who doesn't listen to my orders will be punished with this whip..

So I forced myself to fight.

The servants' noses were bleeding and their eyes were black and blue..

Looking at that, I giggled and urged more..

Whoever loses the fight won't have dinner.

Plus, I'll have to spend the night locked in a warehouse..

He urged them to fight until one side falls..

The servants did something wrong?

It wasn't.

The servants did nothing wrong.

Of course, he didn't feel any guilt either..

‘That's okay. Because they are servants. Because it’s mine. It's my thing, so why can't I vent my anger??’

Let out your anger.

It was enough to have fun with that..

So he was taking out his anger on his subordinates..

Then I ran into Lloyd..

So for now?

‘artist… … It's not getting better.’

It felt like I was drenched in cold water..

I had threatened hundreds of times that if I met him, I would tear him to death..

After bumping into Lloyd, I wasn't angry..

Instead, instinctive fear has tightened my heart..

Boom! Thump thump!

My heart was beating so loudly that I could feel it in my eardrums. Without realizing it, her face became pale, her palms became cold and sweat appeared..

and… … I couldn't make eye contact..

“Hey? hey? mister?”

“…….”

Lloyd's eyes looking this way.

A voice that flutters out.

The guy's forearm wrapped around his shoulder..

All those sensations brought back moments from the past..

I relived the pain of being beaten and trampled by that guy..

Pain and fear engraved in my bones.

All those memories and sensations turned into instinctive fear..

In other words, his shoulders slumped like a rat that has met its natural enemy..

‘Tsk. This guy is just like my dad..’

Lloyd smiled..

Viscount Lacona or his son.

Both of them are typical examples of strong, weak, and weak people..

Is it a shallow instinct to become a lion in front of someone weaker than oneself, and then immediately turn into a rat when someone stronger than one appears?.

He nudged Diego's frozen back..

“If you can't answer with words, let your body guide you. Because I have some business to do with your dad..”

“Uh, that, that…….”

“Come on, let's go?”

“…….”

Diego hesitated and took the lead..

entered the mansion.

walked down the hallway.

Meanwhile, Lloyd didn't say anything..

Diego's footsteps finally stopped in front of the Viscount's office. He pointed to the office door with a faintly trembling finger. Then he quickly turned around. He hurriedly tried to leave his place..

“hey.”

Only then did Lloyd open his mouth for the first time..

Diego, who was trying to leave in a hurry, flinched and shook his shoulders as if he had been hit by an arrow..

The corners of Lloyd's lips curled..

“Come to think of it, you were harassing the servants earlier.?”

“…….”

“How does it feel to harass someone who is so helpless and unable to resist??”

“…….”

“answer.”

“That, that…….”

“Tsk. That's it. You probably know that the servants of this mansion are, broadly speaking, residents of our county.?”

“…….”

“You are a citizen of your homeland, but you are also a resident of our homeland. Looking at it more broadly, are they also His Majesty the King's subjects? Wow, but this guy has been harassing your people and residents of the county like that? Are you just starting out in life? huh? There is no up or down, no concept.?”

“Uh, that, that…….”

“Teach yourself to babble separately..”

“…….”

“If you do it one more time and you see it, then you will really die..”

“…….”

“If you understand, go away.”

I didn't particularly want to use a sophisticated speaking style..

He's like an animal that only moves based on instincts before the cerebral cortex..

If he sees someone weaker than him, he will bite. It's engraved in his bones..

Even sophisticated speaking methods are a waste for a guy like that..

“Tsk.”

Lloyd clicked his tongue as he watched Diego hurriedly run away..

And then there was a refreshing knock on the door of the Viscount's office..

Knock knock.

“who is out there.”

Viscount’s question coming from inside.

“Is dinner ready already? I should have given enough warning that no one should disturb my rest before it was time to eat.?”

Soon the viscount's voice became harsh..

A smile appeared on Lloyd's lips..

“Oh my, sorry. I don't even know that…….”

“I don't know what I don't know. What if you don't know everything? I already woke up from my sleep? huh?”

“I swear. I really didn't know. I really had no idea that I would offend you like this..”

“Say it now?”

Viscount Lacona's shouting roared from inside the tightly closed door..

A brighter smile appeared on Lloyd's lips..

“Oh my, please just spare my life. I really didn't know.”

“Hehe, are you still just saying you didn’t know? Who are you? He must be a servant, but how dare he answer me so thoroughly? Even if I open the door and bow my head right now, it won’t be enough..”

“sorry. I'm really sorry.”

“Uh huh, just words?”

“But please consider my situation, Viscount. Since I don't visit this mansion often, I have no way of knowing when the Viscount gets his precious rest alone..”

“what? How dare you play with me now??”

“Of course not. It's true. And in fact, I knocked on the door because I had something really important to do..”

“much?”

“yes.”

“How important is it that you, a servant at best, dare to disturb my rest time?!”

Quang! wajangchang!

Did someone throw something at the door from inside?.

The door to the office shook once with the sound of the Viscount shouting loudly..

I heard the sound of something hitting the door and breaking it..

An even happier smile bloomed on Lloyd's lips..

“It's true. I swear with all my heart. This is really important..”

“If it's that important, shouldn't you just open the door, bow your forehead to the floor, and report it? Should I lift myself up and open the door for you, who are barely a servant? ok?”

“yes. You need to open it.”

“……What?”

“No, you will get up and open it for me. Because the news I brought is that important..”

“Now, what nonsense are you talking about??”

“It's not bullshit, it's not bullshit, Viscount..”

“flaw… … Hehehe. Hehehehe? This guy said let’s see.?”

The viscount's voice became even harsher..

Even through the closed door, I could clearly feel that the Viscount's blood pressure was showing a strong upward trend..

“okay. good night. I will open the door. And I will listen to your business. So, if I think that the matter you reveal is not important to me, I will personally punish you severely..”

“Yes, please..”

“Still, this guy until the end…….”

“Please open the door quickly..”

“……good night. Tonight, I will personally hang you, whip you, and skin you alive so that everyone in this mansion can clearly see your crime of daring to molest your master..”

Rustle, boom! thud!

the sound of rustling collars.

Then came the sound of rough steps approaching the door..

The doorknob shook..

Finally the door swung open..

Suddenly!

Lloyd had a refreshing smile on his face..

“Nice to meet you, Viscount..”

“…….”

“This is a really important matter. We are planning to build a full-scale quarry in the southern area of ​​the Viscount's territory in accordance with His Majesty the King's solemn will for reconstruction..”

“…….”

“uh? Do you feel like it's not important? Then, from now on, you won't be whipping me, hanging me, and skinning me alive.?”

“…….”

“Then you'll be in big trouble..”

“……Growling.”

Cooung.

Viscount Lacona, who was looking at us in shock, frothed at the mouth and collapsed..

♣

Negotiations(?) were concluded smoothly.

Viscount Lacona, who had fainted, came to his senses about 10 minutes later..

As soon as I came to my senses, I lowered my head in this direction countless times..

I'm really sorry.

These days, my hearing has gone dark and I can't understand voices, so I made a big mistake..

Please be a little more lenient this time..

By the way, please don't tell Count Frontera either..

He gently grasped both of my hands and offered such fervent and earnest apologies that it seemed as if he was singing the 4th verse of the national anthem without end..

Thanks to you, negotiations were so easy..

“great. I will especially turn a blind eye to Viscount's verbal abuse and the rudeness he committed with the set menu. If you will listen to my request..”

With those words, I delivered my request..

From now on, a quarry will be built in the south of Lacona Viscounty. In addition, it is said that the County of Frontera will have all authority over the quarry creation, management, and output..

“ah. And I'm telling you this in advance in case you misunderstand, but isn't this extortion? Of course, it's not exploitation. I am sure you are well aware of the fact that His Majesty the King designated the County of Frontera as the center of reconstruction in the East.?”

“……yes.”

“So, the Viscount, who is well versed in culture and common sense, will fully understand that a lot of resources will be invested in the reconstruction work.?”

“……Yes.”

“great. That's the key. This is about providing those resources. This is the stone that will be produced from the quarry..”

“…….”

“Think about it. Stones mined from the quarry will be polished and used for various construction projects. It will become the foundation, pillars, walls, and roof of numerous facilities to be built in the Frontera territory. how good is it?”

“…….”

It's only good for you, only you.

The Viscount was devastated..

But no matter what he thought, Lloyd's jokes continued shamelessly..

“So, this is a very good thing for you, Viscount. Frontera Estate stands tall as the center of reconstruction in accordance with His Majesty the King's will! But the viscount's estate provides the stone that will be used for reconstruction? What an honor this is.?”

“Yes. I'm honored…….”

“Right? So if you want to ease the itch in my mouth, please sign here..”

“……Sigh.”

In the end, Viscount Lacona left behind a tear-soaked signature. At the same time, another large and beautiful straw was planted in Viscounty Territory..

In this way, Lloyd's big picture for the construction of a major sewage channel was steadily revealed..
