“Actually, I can stop time!”
It was during an intimate family meal..
Lloyd's exciting bombshell announcement brightened up the table..
I didn't say it out loud.
I wondered what life was like.
In fact, it would be better to shamelessly reveal things like this..
He said it would be easier for him to do this because the Count and Countess trust him deeply..
It was Lloyd's declaration that he made with that in mind..
But Lloyd overlooked one fact..
The Countess's confidence in herself.
The truth was that it was much deeper, bigger, thicker, wider, and more awesome than expected..
‘honey.’
‘Umm?’
As soon as I heard Lloyd's declaration.
The Count and Countess shared a quick glance..
‘I guess my child has been having a lot of trouble lately..’
‘Hmm, you see it that way too?’
‘yes. How much pressure must there have been to say something like that?.’
‘I guess so. ha. Because everyone has high expectations. Because I don’t want to disappoint those expectations. I have to show something somehow. I think it's because I worked so hard..’
‘That's right. How hard must it have been alone.’
‘My heart hurts. I think we were too neglectful of our child..’
‘that's right. I feel sorry for him because he always seems to be struggling alone and trying to shoulder everything..’
‘It would be great if we could be of some help too..’
‘The more we do this, the better it will be.?’
‘Well then, let's comfort it for now..’
‘Yes it is.’
The couple is one in heart.
In the quick glances we exchanged, numerous glances reminiscent of telepathy were exchanged..
And the couple united their hearts without saying a word..
Only one operational goal was set.
It was to pat my son..
The count opened the first gun of that soft offensive..
“Hmm, I see. That's amazing.”
“……Do you believe me right away??”
“Believe it or not. When did you ever tell nonsense??”
“but. I was like that.”
“right. How sincere he is in everything he does. The feeling of stopping time is not something you can always feel..”
“……yes?”
“In fact, this father also sometimes feels as if time has stopped. Lately, it's mostly been about helping your mother trim the flower garden..”
“Oh, it's a flower garden.?”
“Mmm, flower garden. If you squat down in the hot sun and touch the dirt while trimming the area. Beads of sweat flow from the forehead, flowers bloom beautifully, and stomachs growl. At times like that, this is what I thought. Oh, I guess it's time for lunch now.”
“Oh, that's…….”
“But when I wake up with that thought in mind and look up at the sky, I realize that there is still a long time left until lunch. At times like that, I feel as if time has stopped..”
“…….”
“Why is flower garden work like that? This father is truly curious. So sometimes…….”
“honey.”
“…….”
The countess spoke softly..
At that moment, the count closed his mouth..
Did he realize his mistake only later?.
The Countess's smile towards the Count became meaningful..
“oh. He said he was happy when I helped him touch the dirt, so I guess he must have had a hard time working in the flower garden..”
“…….”
“What should I do? Starting tomorrow, I will have to do it alone..”
“Oh, no, ma'am, that's not it.…….”
“What should I do? They say it feels like time has stopped. They say it's so boring. You can't force someone who doesn't like it or finds it difficult..”
“Be happy! I'm serious!”
“really?”
“……Hehehehe.”
“If it was that hard, why didn't you tell me?.”
“Ah, no, I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s difficult… … Hmm, well, sometimes I thought it would be nice to ride a horse and get some fresh air.…….”
“Then, would you like to take a break from field work until tomorrow and go riding a horse??”
“Ho, alone?”
“yes.”
“really?”
“yes.”
“And thank you, you!”
“It's okay.”
The count is thrilled and the wife smiles happily.
Lloyd, who was staring at that scene, sighed deeply..
“Well, it's good to strengthen the couple's bond. What I meant by stopping time is…….”
“Okay. This mother knows.”
“yes?”
“Don't try too hard. Sometimes it's okay to go slow. Or isn’t it okay to fail? So it's okay. my son You are still so good to me.”
“…….”
“It's okay if you can't do grand things like stop time or change the world. Still, it doesn't change the fact that you are our son. So son?”
“yes.”
“Don't put too much pressure on yourself.”
“Oh, that's not it…….”
“Shhh. are you okay.”
“Your mother also heard this from your father. You've been working alone to prevent the misfortune that the Dragon King told you about, right? You couldn't even show it for fear of making us worry, so you were doing your best on your own, right? How difficult must it have been? How lonely you must have been.”
“…….”
“It's still like that. Build a dam, build an amazing building called Jewel... … It's going to be hard. It will be more difficult in the future. So this is the story. Don't try to carry it all on your own. When you are tired and tired, be honest with your mother and father. Can you do that??”
“……Uh, um, yeah.”
“Okay, thank you. my son Now then, let’s eat. Mother's nagging was unnecessarily long, wasn't it? The food will all get cold.”
The Countess and the Count smiled warmly..
So Lloyd could not rashly refute or explain anything..
There was absolutely no mood for that..
To give this place a pat on the back..
I'm afraid this side will have a hard time.
I'm afraid this might be a burden..
I couldn't comment on the smiles of the two people who were trying to pat my heart so carefully and considerately..
So Lloyd felt unfair..
‘Oh my... … . I'm asking you to trust me. I can really stop time?’
How do I make you understand this?.
Lloyd laughed awkwardly and took a bite of his salad..
But it was the next day..
A strange current began to circulate in the Prontera territory..
To be precise, there was a strange rumor going around among the residents..
“Brother, do you know? Master Lloyd says, well, he can stop time..”
“what? What are you talking about?”
“What are you talking about? I heard this from my wife..”
“To Jesu?”
“yes.”
“Jesu, are you having a hard time these days??”
“Oh no, no. This is something my wife and I heard from somewhere else..”
“Somewhere else? where?”
“I heard that from the maids at the lord's mansion..”
“What did the maids say??”
“Well, I heard that Master Lloyd said that to the lord during the meal. He says he can stop time.”
“haha? really?”
The woodcutter brothers spoke loudly in the shade of the tree..
Meanwhile, in the grass, the shepherd boy said to the hunter girl:.
“Hey, it's not that?”
“What do you know.”
“Master Lloyd says he stops time..”
“what? Did you eat something wrong?.”
“no it's not. It's real.”
“Where did you hear that nonsense??”
“my sister.”
“Emily's sister?”
“uh.”
“What did my sister say??”
“Ah Mr. You don’t believe me, but you believe my sister?.”
“of course. I believe the shepherd boy said I was crazy?”
“…….”
“Besides, I have to believe what Emily said. Anyway, so what did my sister say?.”
“I heard that Master Lloyd confessed to the lord during a meal that he could stop time..”
“So the lord?”
“He said he smiled and comforted the master. So, I heard that the master looked secretly aggrieved..”
“You felt unfair.?”
“huh.”
“then… … That's real?”
“right? Does it look like that to you too? I don't think it's nonsense that Master Lloyd stops time.?”
“of course. You are Master Lloyd. is not it?”
“Yeah, that's how I see it too.”
The shepherd boy shook his head..
At the same time, at the bar in the territory, the bar owner was raising his voice..
“Uh huh, this person? Then you thought Master Lloyd couldn't do that much??”
“No, hey, owner. That's not what I meant.…….”
“That's not what I meant! Thanks to you, you have acquired land in the Marez reclaimed land and are free from being a tenant farmer, huh? You say you made a living by cultivating the land and sent your son to Cremo to study? But I doubt Master Lloyd’s abilities.?”
“Oh my, owner. don't get excited…….”
“Am I not excited now? Our Master Lloyd was suspected.?”
“No, I believe it too.?”
“……believe?”
“Uh, trust me.”
“Then get a drink.”
“…….”
“Actually, I am. I am truly indebted to Master Lloyd. You know too, right? The ondol room that Mr. Master built in the yard of our tavern..”
“Uh, you know.”
“My mother. Thanks to the ondol room, she had a very comfortable stay. Even now, just thinking about that grace makes my heart ache. That's why I'm doing this. If there's someone who doubts or gossips about our master, you know.?”
“Oh my, you know. why don't i know.”
“anyway! Our young master should at least stop time! That's what our master should be, ah! Absolutely! From the beginning, I knew that our master would become a great person.!”
“But the owner? Before, didn't you complain every day that the master was behaving badly at the bar??”
“Oh, that was about back then.!”
……It was like that..
In other words, the rumor spread through the estate through the mouths of the maids who served Lloyd and the Countess for their meal..
It seems like Lloyd can stop time..
Everyone immediately believed that..
It was the exact opposite of what Lloyd was worried about in the first place..
Lloyd could clearly feel that unexpected atmosphere..
It was through a message that appeared right before my eyes..
Ding dong!
‘uh?’
Lloyd opened his eyes wide..
I was lying in bed trying to sleep..
But I couldn't sleep and was tossing and turning..
Suddenly, a message came to my mind out of nowhere..
But the content was so unexpected.
[Rumors about you are spreading among the residents of Frontera Territory..]
[The residents of Frontera Territory truly believe in your claim that you can stop time, and they have high expectations..]
[Some cool-headed residents say it is an unrealistic rumor, but their opinions are being ignored by the majority of public opinion..]
[The numerous achievements and accolades you have accumulated so far in your territory are creating this atmosphere..]
[Praise takes effect.]
[Praise takes effect.]
[Praise takes effect.]
[Praise takes effect.]
[Praise takes effect.]
[Praise takes effect.]
[The above six compliments have a comprehensive linkage effect..]
[The feelings of the territory's residents toward you have risen from level to level..]
[Now, the residents of Frontera Territory will truly believe and follow you no matter what you do..]
‘What is this again??’
Lloyd unconsciously shook his head..
I looked at the message carefully in disbelief..
I soon realized.
‘oh my god.’
The residents believe in them..
They don't just believe you, they give you blind faith at the level of praise..
Thanks to this, he doesn't find his time freezing strange at all..
‘I didn't even expect this much.’
Wouldn't the act of stopping time seem strange?.
Wouldn’t it be seen as going against the laws of nature?.
So, wouldn’t it be misunderstood as something like witchcraft or black magic?.
You might lose the trust of the people of the territory..
Am I being looked at with suspicion?.
I was worried, worried.
So, I told the count and wife first..
If you borrow the authority of the lord and announce a time freeze to the residents of the territory,.
I thought that this would help reduce some of the confusion and misunderstandings that would arise due to the time freezing phenomenon..
‘But it was all for naught. Freeze time, there will be no problem if you use it right away.’
The trust the residents had in themselves was beyond imagination..
When I thought about that, the corners of my mouth twitched involuntarily..
The days of working hard at the estate so far.
I thought it wasn't a waste of time..
It was rewarding.
Thanks to you, I felt good and had trouble sleeping even more..
I barely fell asleep at dawn and woke up early in the morning..
and waited.
eat breakfast.
It takes a little bit of digestion.
The sun rose to an appropriate height.
Only then did Lloyd leave the mansion..
Standing tall in the front yard.
‘The time is just right. Freezing time literally means stopping all time outside the area. Because the position of the sunlight does not change. So between 9 and 10 am, this would be the best time..’
If you use time freeze at night, you'll be in trouble..
Because the night will last forever.
But if you stop time at noon?
There will be only scorching sunlight pouring down all the time..
Then it will be difficult to proceed with construction..
So Lloyd chose a time in the morning when there was enough sunlight but wasn't too hot..
Standing tall in the front yard of the mansion.
Turned on the time freeze option window..
Ding dong.
[Manaheart skill exclusive option ⑤: Freeze time - Freeze the flow of time in the world by manifesting the power of the winter heart within Manaheart..]
[RP required to use skills : 3,000]
[RP you currently own : 11,755]
[Skill Option ⑤: Would you like to use time freeze??]
[YES/NO]
‘Of course yes.’
Lloyd curiously chose ‘YES’.
Now, it was time to start the complex construction of the dam and the Jewel of Truth in the gap of frozen time..
♣
Meanwhile, at the same time.
A celestial world far removed from the time flow of the lower world.
The office of Gabriel, a first-class angel and minister of angels who oversees all affairs in the heavenly world..
A packet of urgent reports appeared on Gabriel's desk..
This was written on the outside of the report:.
[Summer illegal building construction status report: Aotearoa, the jewel of truth]
