History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 329

“Has something difficult happened that you can't talk about??”
A question that approaches cautiously.
As if patting your back.
Wouldn't this side be in trouble?.
A worried heart comes to you quietly, as if you are worried..
“……yes?”
Lloyd suddenly came to his senses..
The Countess was looking this way from across the table..
Then I realized.
Tonight, I haven't even eaten a single bite of food yet..
I was just picking up a fork and shuffling a salad..
“Oh, just something to think about..”
I roughly looked around.
I put the corner of my mouth against my ear..
Just like it always has these days.
He smiled brightly and powerfully..
But for some reason.
This time, that kind of laughter didn't seem to work..
“If it's hard, it's okay to say it's hard.”
“…….”
A smile also appeared on the Countess's lips..
Unlike this one, it was a faint but warm smile..
“Your father and I both know that you continue to work hard. How can you not know? You have accomplished so many things.”
“that…….”
“This is the Jewel of Truth that I built this time. Did you not give Bo-ok the answer he wanted??”
“…….”
Lloyd was silent..
Why are all mothers like tweezers?.
‘T, I thought you weren't paying at all..’
I kept smiling brightly.
I shrugged my shoulders when everyone cheered and praised me..
I tried to look like a person who enjoyed every moment..
But maybe even that thought was an illusion?.
The Countess's next words awakened me to that reality..
“Lord Asrahan said that earlier. I've been saying that you've been a bit strange these past few days..”
“It's me?”
“okay. Lord Asrahan said that somehow she seemed to be avoiding him..”
“Well, that's because I'm very busy. Hahaha!”
“…….”
“That guy probably wasn't whining because he was disappointed.?”
“He was very worried about you. It's not just Lord Asrahan..”
“yes? Then who else?…….”
“Lord Bayern sent this report to your father yesterday. Master Lloyd seems to be shrugging his shoulders more than before..”
“…….”
“So he said he was worried. It seems like they're doing it on purpose. It's a smiling face, but if you look closely, there's a shadow behind the smile..”
“…….”
Wow, these people.
Could it be that my reaction, my worries, were all evident?.
Lloyd has become a mixed bag..
After that, the countess's testimony(?) continued..
“I guess that was all. White Lancer Captain Blanck, Orc Worker Representative Mr. Arosh, Elf Chieftain Miss Muira, and even Golbukmok, Commander of the Bone Troops, all had similar concerns. Ever since you activated the Jewel of Truth, it seems like you've been worrying and struggling on your own..”
“…….”
“It seemed similar to this mother and your father. Lately, I've been especially speechless, trying to smile brightly, and then falling into deep thoughts alone. Did you think everyone didn’t know that??”
“Ah yes.”
Honestly I didn't know.
I thought I had a talent for acting, well..
Lloyd scratched the back of his head in embarrassment..
For some reason my face got red.
‘Ah-oh. It's obvious, it's completely obvious. It really hit me hard. Was I that fuming?.’
But everyone was just quiet and worried about this..
I can't believe I was just watching this guy laugh and laugh hahaha.
I felt embarrassed and grumbled internally..
‘Oh, if it's so obvious, someone can tell me. Everyone has bad taste, bad taste.’
But on the other hand, I could tell.
I can see this side having a hard time.
I wasn't willing to tell you that it was obvious..
I'm afraid those words will make things more difficult for this side..
I'm afraid it will put more burden on me..
Didn't everyone just watch and pretend not to notice for a few days out of consideration for this side?.
‘Anyway. Ugh. These nice people.’
Lloyd took a deep breath and smiled like a deflating balloon..
Actually, I really didn't want to show it..
Because it’s a concern that I can’t talk about carelessly..
I tried to get an answer even if it meant struggling alone..
I didn't know that that kind of thing was clearly visible to other people..
But that didn't mean I had any intention of making my concerns public..
‘Let's just be thankful.’
This is a concern that cannot be made public anyway..
How do I give the answer that either I or Haviel must die?.
‘If I do that for no reason, I don't know what Javiel will do..’
My lord's son and myself.
If one of the two dies for the Frontera family to be safe,?
Javiel is a guy who would choose suicide on the spot without hesitation..
That is Javiel Asrahan..
‘No matter how much you hate me, you will act like that. For him, Count Frontera is the object of his absolute loyalty..’
For my lord and family.
He was a guy who was ready to sacrifice himself at any time..
‘So I can never tell you the answer Bo-ok gave me..’
Moreover, to explain the problem of either/or?
I should even mention the fact that this one took away Haviel's spot as the main character..
Then, the identity of this side will naturally be revealed..
I can't do that now..
can't say yet.
Lloyd concluded that.
“Umm, sorry..”
I nodded towards the countess across the table..
said in a serious voice.
“Actually, it is true that I have concerns. But, uhm, I don’t think I can talk about that concern right now..”
“Is there a reason??”
“yes.”
“Is it because of the restoration of fate phenomenon you mentioned earlier??”
“I can't go into detail, but yes. That's roughly it. instead-”
really instead.
sincerely.
“I'll tell you everything after this is over..”
The worries I had alone.
facts about me.
I'll tell you everything.
Lloyd spoke with sincerity..
I hoped that day would come as soon as possible.
Was that kind of feeling connected?.
The Countess smiled softly..
He said it as if he felt a little relieved..
“i get it. So this mother has been supporting her son all this time..”
“Yes, Thank you.”
“But instead-”
“yes?”
“From now on, whenever you have a hard time, tell me honestly that you are having a hard time. Even if you try to hide it anyway, everyone will notice..”
“……Cough, yes.”
“And one more thing.”
“yes.”
“It might be a bit of a useless meddling, though. If you're having a hard time because there's an unresolved problem, try looking somewhere else for a moment..”
“yes? If it's somewhere else…….”
“Another simple problem that can be solved right now..”
“another simple problem…….”
“okay. Another simple problem. These are small and easy problems that can be easily solved with just a little time and effort. Sometimes, if you solve such a simple problem step by step, you may find clues or answers to your concerns in unexpected places.?”
“ah.”
simple and easy problem.
Step by step, starting with things that can be solved right away..
The moment I heard those words.
Lloyd felt his eyes brighten..
For the first time since the time when I activated the Jewel of Truth and heard the question of alternatives, my eyes became dark, my heart felt open..
‘It could be so..’
Of course, I didn't come up with an answer to the problem of either/or..
But on the other side, I suddenly realized something..
‘I was too focused on problems that didn't have an immediate answer. My vision was narrowed. then no. The more you focus on one problem, the more obsessed you become and the less able you are to come up with an answer flexibly..’
Looking back.
That's exactly what I was like for the past few days..
I felt like I couldn't come up with an answer or an angle in that situation..
‘okay. The Countess is right. In times like this, let's look the other way. Let's solve another problem first. For example, um, side effects from the heart of winter.?’
Of course, it was not a simple matter either..
However, it was a relatively easier(?) problem than the choice between either this or Javiel dying..
‘okay. One by one, step by step. From urgent things. Bingryong Tyranus was like that too. If this side effect continues, it will spread throughout the body like cancer cells. Life expectancy will be drastically shortened.’
So maybe this is a more urgent problem..
This could be the spark that fell on my foot..
‘So, for the time being, let's first solve the problem of winter's heart side effects. Meanwhile, I keep thinking about it. The problem of either/or that Bo-ok taught me, how do I accept it and come up with a trick?.’
In any case, there are nearly two years left until the restoration of fate begins..
So, if you think about solving other problems in the meantime,?
I thought I would be able to find the answer..
“Whoa.”
I finally felt a little more at ease..
My appetite, which had been gone for a few days, has returned..
“Yes, I will try that. thank you so much.”
I bowed my head sincerely towards the Countess again..
I expressed my gratitude and picked up the fork..
Until just now, I couldn't even see the food on the table..
I suddenly felt hungry.
‘Ah, it's been a while since my appetite whetted..’
How good would it be to eat aged mackerel kimchi stew and white rice instead of salad on a day like this?.
On the one hand, I feel regretful..
Nevertheless, I kept eating salad and sausage..
Lloyd enjoyed a relaxing dinner for the first time in a while..
Meanwhile, the Countess across the table looked at Lloyd with happy eyes..
On the other hand, I thought to myself.
‘Our Lloyd... … I really hated digging my ears..’
I've been like that since I was very young..
He said he got scared when I tried to dig his ears after washing him..
He was struggling so hard that he couldn't even use a cotton swab..
In the end, I raised my hands.
‘It's been like that since I was a baby. Later, when I got a little older, I started grumbling. I hate the feeling of a cotton swab entering my ear canal. It's creepy. Don't you think there's no harm in living without digging your ears?.’
He was that kind of kid.
He was a child who could never even be seen digging his ears in his entire life..
She was a countess who knew all of her son's little habits as if they were her own..
That's why one side of my heart felt sore..
‘But the jewel of truth is…….’
They said Lloyd had a unique habit of digging his ears..
He even engraved letters of light in the sky and let everyone know..
Well, I couldn't believe it..
There was one of two possibilities.
Either the mythical building, the jewel of truth, lied.
‘If not…….’
The Countess looked across the table..
Lloyd was there, engrossed in his meal..
Her eyes were filled with sadness that she couldn't reveal to anyone..
♣
‘ah. Sad, sad. Should I even do something like this now?.’
After a long-awaited hearty meal.
Lloyd grumbled as he came up to his room..
But unlike his grumbling, his expression was relaxed..
Instead, he even smiled bitterly..
while eating.
Thanks to taking the Countess's advice.
He came up with an idea I hadn't thought of before..
‘Because it’s been a while since I felt at ease. Because I decided to focus on problems that can be solved now..’
So I was thinking about it the whole time I was eating..
How to solve the side effects of winter heart.
I thought about it.
Cooking, turning, cooking.
He chewed, opened, and tasted it..
‘Actually, the answer is simple. Bingryong Tyranus told you. The Heart of Winter, a new object containing coldness. Obtaining a new object of the same grade but with opposite properties..’
Another new item from the Magentano royal family..
It was the apple of summer.
‘You just have to get it. But the question is, how do you get it?.’
So I thought about it throughout the meal..
What you can do.
something that is impossible for you.
Craftsmanship that can be utilized here.
Numerous possibilities and consequences.
After all, I expected it..
I measured the angle.
At the end, the moment you chew the last salad of the meal.
In the 30th brain fold of the cerebral cortex and frontal lobe, a bright idea flashed into my mind..
Thanks to this, he returned to his room with a lighter pace..
As soon as I got back, I called Emily, the maid..
I sent Emily to run an errand..
I tidied up my bedroom carefully..
By then Emily had returned to the bedroom..
There was a bowl of cold water on the tray she carried..
“Hey, Master Lloyd? I brought you the cold water you mentioned..”
“Uh, okay. thank you. Leave it here.”
“You didn't order it to drink.?”
“Yeah no. Let go and disappear. thank you. good night. Good night.”
I pushed Emily, who didn't know what was going on, out of the bedroom..
And locked the bedroom door..
I adjusted my clothes.
The cold water Emily left on the table..
I knelt down while looking at that..
I put my hands together in front of my chest and rubbed them..
And I started praying to the gods of heaven and earth..
“It is Binaida, it is Binaida. Lloyd Frontera, a human from the underworld, prays and prays sincerely to the holy angels of the heavenly world. Please take me to heaven. Please repatriate me. I am the bad guy. They dared to disobey the demolition order and attacked and harassed a third-level angel. I reflect. So please do this! please! I! Right Now! Please take me!”
it was a prayer.
It was a sincere, no, selfish prayer..
Please send me back to heaven quickly..
I prayed and prayed toward the cold water..
I remembered the tips for heartfelt prayer and civil complaints that I had learned from the lower angel Raphael in the past, and I prayed harder and prayed again..
I suddenly went crazy?
Of course it wasn't.
‘This is how you can obtain the royal family's new item, the eyes of summer, to contrast with the heart of winter.!’
Thinking back on the big picture I thought of earlier,.
Lloyd prayed even more fiercely..
But did that prayer really work?.
I've been rubbing my palms against the cold water and muttering for an hour..
At a time when doubts were creeping in as to whether the prayer meta(?) might not work..
Finally, a response came from heaven..
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Suddenly, a colorful dawn enveloped the bedroom..
Then, angels in sacred silhouette descended one after another into the bedroom..
‘done!’
As many as six third- and fourth-grade angels descended..
Lloyd gave them a welcoming smile..
