History of the Greatest Estate Design - Episode 339

339fury. Chew the noble house (2)

‘Ah, this has the right vibe..’

The main conference hall of the Noble House, which I see for the first time..

Lloyd looked around at the scene inside and smiled with satisfaction..

I like it.

Unexpectedly, it was extremely noisy..

High-ranking nobles were openly fighting with their necks raised..

Thanks to this, it didn't feel like a luxurious atmosphere or anything..

The only thing that seemed elegant was the crumbs of a cookie inside a nitrogen cookie bag..

I even felt a friendly feeling..

‘thank god. Because the atmosphere is so classy and pretentious, it’s suffocating..’

Actually, it was kind of like that..

He had never been luxurious in his life..

It was like that even before my parents got into debt in Korea..

Although I wasn't particularly poor,.

But it wasn't abundant either..

I lived an average life that can be found anywhere in Korea..

As a result, it was far from a luxurious life..

I've never had a similar experience..

It was the same here too.

‘Well, I'm just a nobleman from a noble family. To put it bluntly, you've been through a lot of trouble so far.?’

At first, I had to pay off my debt..

Then, to prevent the crisis that came to the territory,.

Now let's solve the restoration of fate phenomenon and the side effects of the winter heart..

1Aren't we working, working, working without a break 365 days a year?.

“…….”

Ah, Mr..

Why do I suddenly cry?.

Lloyd gently wiped his eyes with his sleeve..

It was just before he was guided to his seat that an unexpected greeting struck his ear..

“Brother, it’s been a while..”

“……uh?”

young voice.

A slightly trembling greeting.

A somewhat familiar tone of voice.

I looked towards the direction the voice came from..

But I didn't see anything.

No, it was just slightly visible at the bottom of my field of vision..

It had a chestnut-like crown and orange-colored, curly hair that somehow resembled this one..

“It's here?”

A slight grumbling sound coming from below..

Somehow, my tone of voice has become a bit harsh..

I followed that voice and lowered my gaze..

There was a happy face there.

“Julien?”

“under. Are you doing this on purpose? I know I'm short?”

“…….”

“It's been a while since I've seen you, but if you keep doing this, I'll tell our Minister of Home Affairs.?”

“Minister of the Interior? By any chance, Mr. Jesu?”

“huh.”

“…….”

“Anyway, bro, it'll be okay.?”

“Well, maybe.”

Lloyd grinned..

I haven’t seen Julien in a while..

It still looked the same.

He had the same youthful, bright, and fierce eyes and expression as before..

‘Instead, the timid appearance has almost disappeared..’

Perhaps it is due to the influence of the powerful Minister of the Interior(?), Miss Serazade..

Lloyd asked, thinking so..

“But what happened? So far.”

“For some reason. I came because I was worried. Brother, you were called to the Noble House. Then what is it? From now on, you will be tormented side by side by nobles who are in favor and nobles who are against you..”

“I wonder if something big will happen to me?”

“Well, roughly.”

Julien shrugged his small shoulders..

“I don't know if you know, but because of the revelation you received, the entire capital was in chaos for two days. Thanks to you, you can’t even imagine how much I suffered..”

“You just ask questions at work.?”

“I just asked a question?”

This guy sucks.

I ended up with a bitter smile.

“This is because my immediate superior is an opponent of revelation implementation..”

“…….”

“Have you heard the news? According to the revelation, your brother is trying to receive a royal gift from the royal family. Isn’t that some kind of trick? How dare you pass on the royal family's sacred items to a mere subject? What do you think of this situation? Could it be that he is trying to turn his back on the royal family and take the family's side? Do you know that if you do that, you will become a traitor, etc. I think I was bombarded with questions like that about 180 times from the time I went to work in the morning until I left work in the evening..”

“……Uh, sorry.”

“Yeah no. What did my brother do wrong? It's my fault that I'm your brother's younger brother.”

“…….”

“So, brother, cheer up. Don't be intimidated. Don't die either..”

“…….”

“go for it.”

“Tsk.”

Lloyd burst out laughing..

Even though he said it like that, I could feel Julien's feelings when he came to the noble house..

I'm worried about this.

I'm afraid I might end up in trouble..

While he was worried, as soon as he heard the news about his admission to the Noble House, he must have put everything aside..

‘Besides, it's midday right now, so it's probably working hours. My immediate supervisor is an opponent of revelation implementation. What would he have done to get to this point while working? He is a newbie at work..’

Perhaps, due to Julien's conscientious nature, he would not have left his workplace without notice..

then?

Could it be that he decided to leave work early, even risking being criticized by his immediate superior?.

‘If you were to suddenly leave early like that, you would have had to be honest about your business..’

You will probably be hated a lot by your immediate superior..

Going forward, work will be quite difficult..

It wouldn't be Julien who wouldn't know that..

But I endured even that and came this far..

Just to see your face for a moment.

to say a few words.

In this way, I want to give strength to this side..

I was thankful that you came this far with some determination..

“Yeah, man. I'll come back bro.”

Tap the guy on the shoulder.

That was just enough.

I exchanged greetings with Julien and Javiel and walked along with the guide..

I sat down in the seat indicated..

It was a chair placed in the center of the plenary room..

Lloyd realized the significance of seating arrangements..

‘Hmm, the nobles are split on two sides with me in the middle..’

The nobles on the left were casting friendly glances in this direction..

On the other hand, on the right?

It was rough just to look at it..

His facial expression and eyes were clearly showing that he was very angry..

‘So, the left side is the pro-revelation side, and the right side is the anti-revelation side..’

It's comfortable because you can tell the difference just by the atmosphere..

Lloyd grinned and checked the plan..

Soon, the noble director began to speak..

“Please pay attention for a moment. Today, as everyone is seeing, Count Lloyd Frontera, the eldest son of the Count Frontera family, readily responded to the request for admission to the House of Nobles. I, Director Noble, would like to express my deep gratitude to Lloyd Frontera Youngsik for his cooperation..”

A nobleman I've seen before.

A stout man who resembled a bulldog gave a stereotypical bow in this direction..

Lloyd also gently reciprocated towards him..

After that, several routine procedures were followed..

Proponents and opponents of revelation implementation.

A total of ten nobles representing the opinions of both sides were introduced..

Divided into two camps, they sat down in their assigned positions and glared at each other with flounder eyes..

However, representatives of the supporters and opponents did not argue openly with each other..

Instead, a full-fledged plenary session began..

It was a hearing aimed at this very thing..

No, strictly speaking, it was a barrage of questions intended to benefit one's camp..

“Nice to meet you. He is the head of the Marquis of Alcante. I would like to ask a question while again expressing my gratitude to Count Lloyd Frontera for responding to my request for admission. Count Lloyd Frontera?”

“yes.”

“You have been involved in numerous large and small events involving the royal family, and throughout all of these events, you have personally demonstrated countless devotion to the royal family. Is that correct?”

“yes, that's right.”

“Have you ever been unwilling to do those things??”

“There were many times when I felt afraid.”

“I'm afraid?”

“yes.”

“Could you explain a little more?.”

A happy smile appeared in the eyes of the Marquis of Alcante, a member of the pro-choice faction..

Looking at that smile, Lloyd realized.

‘That marquis, you're only asking questions that will raise me up..’

It seemed like he was trying to give strength to the implementation of revelation through such questions and answers..

Lloyd inwardly shrugged his shoulders..

‘If that's your intention, thank you anytime..’

I'm going to paint this person's face with gold..

There is no reason to refuse.

“Because I am also human. It was the same when His Majesty the King was addicted and on the verge of death, when he encountered the monster domino effect in the East, and when he faced the Bone Dragon. I thought it was going to go wrong and I was going to die. I was afraid. but-”

“But?”

Lloyd replied, licking his tongue..

“I was more afraid that the foundation of the royal family would be shaken than that I would do something wrong or die..”

“Oh oh.”

Marquise's Elasticity.

Would it be rude if I felt like a professor who received a model answer?.

The Marquis of Alcante looked at the opposition with a satisfied and meaningful expression..

Those eyes are like…….

Look.

This guy is such a fucking loyalist..

Plus, you're young and pretty.?

But according to the revelation, I won't get sick of it.?

I'm sure he will be more loyal and helpful to the royal family if you give it to him.?

……It seemed like he was saying.

That's how the Marquis of Alcante's questions ended..

Next was the turn of the opposition leader..

“Let’s start with the introduction. As for me, I am the head of the Marquis of Cordoba family. Count Lloyd Frontera? Are you ready to take questions??”

“yes.”

Chansungpa’s hot bath.

Next, is it a cold bath for the opposition?.

Lloyd swallowed a bitter smile and nodded..

Soon a sharp question came from the Marquis of Cordoba..

“Count Lloyd Frontera. You have previously damaged the royal family's sacred item, the 'Heart of Winter', causing it to be lost. Is that correct?”

“you're right.”

I knew it.

I thought I would find fault with that incident..

Lloyd answered leisurely..

The Marquis of Córdoba’s questions continued..

“Do you feel responsible for the incident??”

“of course.”

It's obvious.

I feel it so deeply and intensely.

Because of that incident, I wonder how much the King’s sister still cares..

Moreover, because of the Winter's Heart I took at that time, I was reluctant to suffer the side effects..

Isn’t this why we are still going through this hardship?.

Lloyd spoke with sincerity and sorrow..

“Even now, when I think about it, it's incredibly sad. The heart of winter that was lost due to an accident, and the people at the scene who passed away at the time. Of course, it wasn't what I intended, but since I was the person responsible for the scene where the accident occurred at the time, I still feel great responsibility and grief. That is all.”

With a serious expression for the first time in a while.

In a solemn yet gentle voice.

He spoke to the opposing Marquis of Córdoba.

Was this person’s answer a little unexpected?.

“……Ah, hmm! All right.”

The Marquis of Cordoba cleared his throat and finished his question..

So after cold soup, hot soup.

The pro-choice faction's turn has come..

“Count Lloyd Frontera? I don't know if you know, but every day when I go to Noble House, I use the bridge you provided. The Roy-Harvey Suspension Bridge..”

“Ah, yes.”

“Since the bridge was built, commuting to and from work has become much easier. Since there was no longer any fear of the bridge collapsing during the spring rainy season, we could now cross the river with greater peace of mind. It's the same today. Perhaps tomorrow too, I will use the Roy-Harvey Suspension Bridge when I return home after attending the Noble House. First of all, I would like to say that I am truly grateful for this on behalf of the people of the capital..”

“Uh, um, yeah.”

“That's why I ask the question. Is it true that you first proposed to His Majesty the King the construction of the Roy-Harvey Suspension Bridge??”

“yes it's true.”

“okay. Of course, I believe that it was a heartfelt suggestion for the citizens of the royal capital, who often suffered inconvenience and threat due to the collapsing bridge over the Majena River. am i right?”

“yes.”

Lloyd nodded shamelessly..

Of course it wasn't.

In fact, it was a proposal to make money..

But there was no reason to reveal it..

‘You're blatantly putting a gold lacquer pack on your face like that. Then you have to get the noobjuk. why do you refuse?’

I never specifically asked for it to be gold-plated..

But they are doing it on their own..

So just take it..

When I thought that way, I could be shameless without limits..

‘The conscience in my heart that was trying to shout 'Lie!' was struck down with a series of one-two punches, and an iron plate was placed all over my face..

Of course, it was the same even when sharp questions were asked from the opposition..

“Count Lloyd Frontera. Let me ask you one thing. Back in the day, when the Monster Domino incident occurred in the eastern part of the country. Why didn't you actively eradicate the monsters that invaded other nearby territories??”

“Yes, I wanted to get rid of it too.”

“I wanted it?”

“I desperately wanted to get rid of it. But I couldn't do it. I know. The truth is that I did it because I wasn't good enough and I wasn't good at it. So it still hurts. I often toss and turn at night, and sometimes I wake up in a cold sweat..”

“No, I'm not telling you to tell me about your pain now.…….”

“I know. No matter how much I complain about my suffering, the facts will not change. I am a sinner. Even if my body was broken, I should have rushed to save not only my territory but also the people of other territories. But I couldn't. I won't blame anyone else. It's all because I'm ugly and incompetent. That's why it's painful and sad. My heart aches. so that… … Phew, no. I'll stop making excuses. sorry.”

“Well, I'm not sorry, right now I just want to look back on what happened back then.…….”

The opposing nobleman was visibly embarrassed..

‘Lloyd Frontera, why are you doing that??’

Originally, I was trying to pressure Lloyd with sharp questions..

Treating something that wasn't really a mistake as if it was a mistake.

Deliberately putting Lloyd in trouble.

Provoke with aggressive questions.

Touching my emotions like that.

I was trying to provoke a backlash..

‘If that situation continues, everyone gets angry. Because I will defend myself by complaining. That's how I tried to drag the author into the debate.…….’

That was the muddy fight prepared by the opposition..

stimulating Lloyd emotionally.

If you make them angry and drag them into an argument,?

If we exchange arguments filled with random criticism and excuses,?

I thought that alone would be a huge success..

It was obvious.

‘It's natural for humans to show their bottom in the process of such a muddy fight and argument. The moment you see the bottom, your excellent reputation will start to crack..’

Damaging the reputation of Lloyd Frontera, a public figure, through random bottom-line controversies..

That was the goal of the opposition..

That's enough.

Damaged reputation, reputation.

It was thought that this alone would be enough to create public opinion against the awarding of Lloyd Frontera as a sacred object..

But the reality is?

‘Man, why on earth is he doing that??’

No matter how much pressure and sharp questions they ask,.

Even if you ask a question that intentionally distorts the facts and touches your emotions.

Lloyd was never provoked..

No, on the contrary, I answered this question in agreement..

He even had tears in his eyes and showed signs of thorough self-reflection.!

‘Thanks to you, I asked the question... … It feels like trash?’

The opposing nobleman Cordoba felt a strong sense of skepticism(?) unknowingly coming upon him..

Of course he had no idea.

Aggressive questions and fact-distorting provocations planned by oneself and the opposition..

That's the fact that in Korea's IT world, Lloyd, who has been trained through numerous malicious comments and team game mistakes, has no sense of offense at all..

Thanks to this, we have a bleak future in which Lloyd will from now on be even more shameless and sharp with his tongue and manipulative actions, teasing and belittling everyone in the plenary hall of the House of Nobles..
