History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 338
338fury. Chew the noble house (1)
Two days have passed.
After returning from sparring with the king.
Lloyd spent two whole days lounging around in the royal guest quarters..
A grand proposal to the king.
A thoroughly detailed proposal.
As I wait for the results, I draw a bigger picture.?
He sensed the atmosphere of the royal capital and used his insight to understand the situation to prepare an even more exquisite Yabawi.?
It wasn't all.
“ugh… … Hmm, oh my waist.”
“Does it hurt so much here?.”
“Uh, there and down there. Yeah, there too.”
“……Then why did you clash swords with His Majesty the King without any countermeasures?.”
“Wow, take it easy! Would you have wanted to do that if it were me?.”
lying face down on the bed.
Lloyd made a death sound..
It wasn't a big deal.
My whole body really hurt and ached..
There was no pain in my joints or muscles..
It felt as if the muscles, joints, and crucibles of the entire body were carefully disassembled, one by one, then randomly mixed and reassembled..
Lloyd thought about the person who gave him this hellish muscle pain..
‘under. At that time, I thought I had properly blocked the King's sister's attack..’
I definitely thought so.
It was quite a long and intense sparring..
The opponent was King Alicia, the ultimate sword master..
Nevertheless, in my opinion, I did a great job..
Even though the king openly attacked this side, the number of successful hits was so small that it could only be counted on one hand..
‘I got hit in the solar plexus by a knee kick and fell asleep because my neck was grabbed. It only happened twice.’
Thanks to you, I was happy.
The king was a human weapon, no, he was no better than a weapon, perfected after great training and practical combat..
I thought he was probably the strongest among the humans in this world, next to Haviel..
But if you fight that much against such a being,?
It was a good enough save..
‘……I thought so.’
After sparring, I returned home.
Take a refreshing shower and lie down on the bed.
It was good until I fell asleep comfortably..
But the moment the next morning dawned, I had to realize.
What's scarier than a headache or a toothache is sparring with the king's sister..
‘I was proud of myself for making a save. It was my mistake..’
The moment you wake up in the morning.
I had to feel as if my entire body had been hit in detail with a meat chopping hammer..
I couldn't get up from bed.
It wasn't like that at all before I fell asleep..
When I woke up, every inch of my body hurt, as if I had suffered bruises from a car accident..
Only then was I able to properly understand the situation..
‘Damage was accumulated on the body just by defending against the King's sister's attacks..’
but.
It might be so.
The incredible momentum she showed the day before.
It would be nonsense for a human body to handle that without any problems..
Anyway, thanks to the aftereffects of full-body muscle pain from the sparring that day, Lloyd was confined to bed or the sofa for two days..
“……That's why I'm telling you, you can't just gently remove the gauze.?”
“It's not possible.”
Wow-!
Javiel refused and pulled his hand as if cutting with a knife..
The gauze that was stuck to Lloyd's back was ripped off..
It was a gauze pickled with herbs that are widely used for muscle and joint pain..
But the problem was that the herbs dried overnight..
Thanks(?), every time I removed the gauze, a new pain of tearing the skin on my back arose..
Lloyd, lying face down on the bed, begged, tearing out his hair from the stinging sensation..
“ugh… … Yay! If you're not going to tear it off gently, maybe just tear it off a little sharply.!”
“That doesn't work either..”
Jju… … and… … iced coffee… … evil↗?
With a cold refusal.
Javiel's hand gesture of removing the gauze changed to slow motion..
Thanks to this, the gauze was carefully separated from Lloyd's back, tearing out hundreds of strands of downy hair in detail..
“……Chop! gig! case! Hey!”
“Are you really trying to swear?.”
“of course!”
“But if you tear it like this, I won't change it..”
“why!”
“Because the doctor advised me yesterday.”
“What did that guy say?!”
“When the medicine soaked in this gauze hardens, it is best to remove it slowly..”
“What is it good for?!”
“He said it would make me feel better..”
“…….”
“Looking at Lloyd's reaction now, I think I finally understand what he meant. I definitely feel like he is a doctor worthy of the Royal Castle..”
“hey! What kind of name is that? Are you lying by selling doctors??”
“Oh, I got caught..”
Tsk… … right… … and… … pressure!
“……Gyaak!”
Lloyd went to sleep again.
Javiel smiled happily.
But the smile didn't last long.
“But Lloyd.”
“uh.”
“I have one question.”
“Yeah, don't teach me.”
“…….”
“Pas, no, I'll let you know when I remove the gauze properly. What. What are you curious about?.”
“This is a rumor that has been circulating the royal capital for the past two days..”
“uh.”
“Is the rumor true that an angel descended and gave a revelation while Lloyd was in audience with His Majesty the King??”
“uh.”
“The content of that revelation was to bestow the royal family's new item, Summer Eyes, to Mr. Lloyd??”
“uh.”
“By any chance, Lloyd said he had a good talk with the archangel.…….”
“Oh, right. That's right. What I asked the archangel for.”
“…….”
“what. why. what. Also, what are you dissatisfied with that's why you open your flounder eyes like that?.”
“I'm doing this not because I'm complaining, but because it's absurd..”
“How absurd!?”
“First of all, I will not nag you in a stereotypical way, asking if you are trying to corrupt angels like Satan. Even if I did that, Lloyd wouldn’t change. But what I want to say is-”
“I mean?”
“If it was Lloyd's intention to make a secret pact with the archangel and have the revelation come down, I would like to tell you that you should not just be lying down like this..”
“Hmm, why?”
“It literally doesn't seem like the time to be lying down like this..”
Lloyd still lying down.
Thanks to that, I couldn’t see what kind of expression he was making..
But Javiel could feel it.
This person is probably spinning around in a sinister way again..
Just like when I occasionally pulled off strange tricks..
Thinking like that, Javiel spoke seriously..
“The entire royal capital is noisy now. It's not a fuss. Because of Lloyd and the revelation..”
“why. There was a fight?”
“yes.”
Javiel nodded..
The silver-haired knight continued..
“The opinions and public opinion of the entire royal capital were divided half and half..”
“Those who are in favor that the eyes of summer should be bestowed upon me according to the revelation, and those who are opposed that no matter how much the revelation is, it should not be given to the royal family. That's roughly how it was divided.?”
“……Did you really expect it?.”
“Uh, roughly.”
Lloyd shrugged..
Then, I frowned and said, feeling the muscle pain that was rising..
“Even if you don’t look, you can get a rough picture. Each person comes out and gets a quote, right? A revelation with absolute divinity, a sacred object that is a precious treasure of the royal family. Because it's a situation where you have to choose one of the two..”
“Yes, exactly as you said..”
“Thanks to this, every corner of the royal capital will be noisy..”
“of course. From merchants on the market floor to porters, farmers out to trade crops, guards patrolling, children, and even high-ranking nobles, everyone is divided into pros and cons, debating, sometimes fighting, and raising their voices at each other..”
“Well, it is a desirable society vibrant with a discussion culture..”
“…….”
Wow... … evil!
“……That’s it! hey!”
“Are you joking even after creating this situation?.”
“I have to come out, then I won't come out?”
“Get out of bed.”
“Go outside?”
“yes.”
Javiel said in a serious tone..
“Anyway, Lloyd's goal is to obtain the royal family's new item, the Eyes of Summer..”
“Well, that's right. You also heard what Bingryong told you.?”
“Yes, you heard me. This is a warning that you will suffer from side effects due to the coldness of your heart in winter. So, you will need the Heart of Summer, a new item with opposite properties. So this is what I am saying. Because public opinion in the royal capital is now split in half..”
“Since there is a lot of momentum between those in favor and those opposing it, I suggest you go out and go around and persuade people.?”
“yes.”
Javiel nodded..
“In times like these, shouldn't we try to attract more people and turn public opinion on Mr. Lloyd's side? Only then will Lloyd be able to achieve his goal of obtaining the eyes of summer..”
“Well, it's not entirely wrong.-”
Lloyd chuckled..
“If you dig a little deeper, I'm probably slightly wrong..”
“That's slightly incorrect..”
“The more I step forward and move to give strength to public opinion in favor, the more strength the opposing party's arguments will gain as well..”
“……ah.”
“Have you noticed now?.”
“Yes, I was short-thinking. Mr. Lloyd's act of personally stepping forward and trying to increase public opinion in favor will be seen as an act of coveting the eyes of summer, a new item for the royal family..”
“yes. That's it. The opposition will never miss that point. Maybe they could use that as an excuse to frame me as a traitor. Rather, I am facing a backlash..”
Lloyd smiled bitterly..
It was a very possible scenario..
Of course, he had strong praise for himself as ‘the one who carried Magentano’..
Thanks to that praise, he would never be accused of treason under any circumstances..
‘However, just being framed as a traitor will strengthen the opposition's arguments. My image will be shattered just by being dragged into an argument about whether I am a traitor or not. That's what the opposition is aiming for.’
In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't get punished as a traitor..
Smashing your image by framing yourself as a traitor..
So stop the summer eyed sergeant.
That is probably the result that the opponents of revelation want..
“So there is no need to deliberately do what the opposition wants. Besides, I'm actually in a lot of pain, right? In times like this, absolute stability is necessary. is not it?”
“If so, do you have any other measures in mind?.”
“uh. Sooner or later the noble house will call me..”
“In the noble house.?”
“Yes, I think I came at the right time. This is about a day earlier than expected..”
Lloyd grinned..
At that moment, Javiel looked towards the door of the dorm..
“Are you talking about those footsteps walking down the hallway?.”
“uh.”
At the same time Lloyd nods his head.
Someone knocked on the dormitory door.
Knock knock.
“excuse me. Is Count Lloyd Frontera in there?.”
Judging by his voice, he was a member of the royal family..
Soon, a palace official entered the lodgings and revealed his business..
“Sorry for stopping by during your break. Here, the House of Nobles sent this to the Count..”
“Hmm, okay. Thanks for telling me.”
Envelope given by a palace official.
On the outside was written the words ‘Request for Enrollment’..
As expected.
After the palace staff left.
Lloyd gave Javiel a smiling look..
He waved the envelope as if showing off..
“Did you see it? This is it.”
“…….”
“Okay then, let’s change our clothes and go out. Keuungcha. Oh my, it's Saksin.”
“…….”
What on earth is this person thinking in his head?.
What kind of mindset does one have to anticipate and calculate these things?.
Javiel's eyes deepened as he looked at Lloyd..
‘seoul. What kind of life did you live there?.’
Suddenly, I remembered Seoul, where I had briefly visited..
A city full of acrid air.
This is my first time experiencing a huge, night-time city..
The place that was presumed to be the hometown of fake Lloyd..
I was very curious about how the fake Lloyd lived there..
I wondered what kind of place it was that created such a monster(?).
But those thoughts didn't last long.
“I will help you. arm, this way.”
Now is the time to help Lloyd..
You must help this person achieve his or her goals and be of benefit to the family..
Thinking like that, Javiel supported Lloyd and helped him prepare for school..
I boarded the carriage sent by the Noble House..
Arrived quickly.
A building with a sense of antique history.
Following the instructions, I entered the inside of the Noble House..
Finally entered the main conference hall..
At that moment, a deafening sound pierced my eardrums..
“no! So, the Count of Perugia! You can't say things like that. Haven't we yet heard from the person who received the revelation?!”
“Ha, so you are saying that there is a need to hear Count Lloyd Frontera's self-defense? So, you are insisting that the precious belongings of the royal family be handed over to the heir of a single count, regardless of the reason.?”
“Are you skipping it? You are saying too much. Plus, this is a revelation. Didn't the Count of Perugia clearly see with his own eyes the holy angel descending on the royal palace and giving revelations?.”
“So are you really saying that I'm blaspheming??”
“Wouldn’t that be more moderate than the Count of Perugia’s earlier treatment of me as a traitor?.”
“Uh huh? I said let’s see, this person is really!”
“No, it's this guy.!”
Goseong blowing towards each other with a full swing.
The seating is old-fashioned and the clothes are elegant..
Just looking at the atmosphere in which he spoke, it felt like he was already being grabbed by the collar..
That was the view of the main conference hall of the Noble House that Lloyd and Javiel first saw when they entered school..
Thanks to this, Javiel frowned his elegant eyebrows without realizing it..
On the other hand, Lloyd?
I smiled warmly.
‘Ah, the scent of home.’
Why is it that a place called Noble House is so similar to the scene at a labor center where old men are fighting from early in the morning to get work done first?.
Lloyd unconsciously felt a growing sense of familiarity..
At the same time, on the one hand, he checked the plan.
debate and argument.
quarrels and disagreements.
A battle of insidious intentions and wits blooming within them..
Today, the result will hit everyone hard in the back..
The preparation and drawing were perfect..
