The best territory designer of all time - Episode 340
340fury. Chew the noble house (3)
“Yes, I am the bad guy. It's all my responsibility. I had no idea that Bone Dragon's skeleton would move so suddenly..”
“Oh, look, that's what everyone who participated in the construction of Termina Grand Garden didn't know.…….”
“But isn't it also obvious that I didn't know??”
“…….”
“So I feel responsible. If only I had foreseen that catastrophe, predicted it, or at least found out about it by visiting a prophet! An unprecedentedly tragic situation like a bone dragon rampaging in the middle of the royal capital would not have occurred..”
“No, look, Count Frontera. That's not what my question means…….”
“I know. You asked why you were named as a co-constructor when you did not actively participate in any construction other than the waterway design during the construction of Termina Grand Garden..”
“of course…….”
“That's why I reflect. Even though His Majesty the King treated me favorably and named me as an honorable co-builder, I was not able to anticipate a total catastrophe and so I just focused on designing the waterway..”
“That's not the question…….”
“you're right. I have to reflect. I must be acutely aware of my carelessness and irresponsibility. In that respect, I would like to express my deep gratitude to the Marquis of Córdoba for giving me this opportunity to reflect on myself..”
“…….”
No, I wanted to hear your rebuttal rather than thank you..
So I was hoping you would react emotionally..
In the end, I was dragged into a muddy debate and wanted to show the bottom..
‘however… … Why do you keep making declarations of conscience and even showing tears? why?’
Marquis of Córdoba, leader of the opposition to the implementation of revelations.
He looked at Lloyd with a puzzled look on his face..
‘That guy, is it possible that he realized this side’s intention and did it on purpose??’
As I was looking at it, it seemed like that..
It was embarrassing..
Lloyd seemed even more precious..
‘Contributor to the royal family? Someone like you? nonsense!’
In fact, the Marquis of Córdoba was a loyalist and patriot..
He was proud of the prosperity of the Magentano royal family..
He was proud of his loyalty, and he was happy these days when the royal family, the object of such loyalty, rose to the position of hegemony..
I hoped that this peaceful era would continue in the future..
That's why.
He didn't look good on Lloyd Frontera..
‘Yes, I admit that you have done a lot. But what? I must bestow upon you the eyes of summer, a sacred item of the royal family. That an angel who came out of nowhere gave such a revelation, that was the only reason. No matter how much you think about it, it's not right.?’
I didn't like it.
Summer's eyes were a prized possession of the royal family..
Of course, it has rarely been used in practice..
It was an item that gave the royal family power just by owning it..
‘Because the sword does not have to be drawn to demonstrate its power. The mere fact that it exists in a scabbard is enough to create a sense of intimidation to those around it..’
He thought that was the true power of the royal family's sacred items..
However, because of a revelation that came out of nowhere, such a sacred object must be given to a single subject.?
I didn't understand.
I just thought it was a huge loss for the royal family..
That's why.
‘Lloyd Frontera, we must discredit the author at all costs..’
The Marquis of Córdoba made meticulous preparations..
I prepared questions to provoke Lloyd..
In fact, they did not hesitate to distort it..
I'm sure Lloyd would feel insulted at this level..
There will be enough anger over the twisted distortion and fabrication of facts..
I was confident and confident.
But the reality is?
‘It doesn't work. I've already realized their intention. What kind of mentality do you have... … Is it possible to maintain composure despite such a barrage of insulting questions??’
I didn't understand.
he was a nobleman.
I have lived a life where pride and honor are more important than life..
I thought Lloyd, a fellow noble, would be the same..
That's why I couldn't understand.
The fact that Lloyd's values are so different from his own..
‘Tsk. I expected that they would call me to the plenary room and diss me and provoke me. When I actually got hit by this, it didn’t feel as bad at all as I thought..’
The Marquis of Córdoba across the street.
Lloyd looked at him and smiled inwardly..
it was true.
A barrage of questions from the Marquis of Córdoba so far..
Most of them were questions that strangely distorted the facts and distorted this side's actions and intentions..
It was a very vicious media play..
But when I actually heard it,?
I didn't feel any damage at all.
The reason was simple.
‘It was much more interesting to hear about my parents’ well-being from my teammates while playing the game..’
I think the Marquis of Córdoba prepared a barrage of fact-distorting questions for the day to spice things up..
When I tried it, it didn't even taste mild..
It was only at the level of baby food.
It was thanks to that.
Lloyd openly enjoyed the Marquis of Córdoba's questions..
Every time he asks a sharp and aggressive question.
Every time I dig up their mistakes and hold them accountable,.
no excuses at all.
Didn't even refute.
Everyone agreed.
No, he showed thorough self-reflection and even put on a tearful show.!
“Yes, it's all my negligence and fault. It's because I wasn't good enough. We should have noticed the attempted regicide incident a little sooner. If that were the case, His Majesty the King would not have been poisoned. And it was like that in Cremo too. I really didn't know that Giga Titan would actually come to land. I couldn't believe it. So the damage was greater. People could not be evacuated, buildings in the city were destroyed and fires broke out..”
“No, I'm not looking for that answer right now.…….”
“no. I am well aware of the Marquis of Córdoba’s concerns and concerns. You must be thinking, how can I, who is so absurdly lacking, dare to receive a gift from the royal family? Yes, I think the same. As you can see, I am a person who is infinitely lacking and inadequate. So I'm curious. Why on earth did heaven give me such a trial, no, such a revelation?.”
“…….”
“If possible, I would like to ask the sky. I would like to dare to ask the holy angels. What kind of great intention do you have that you want to impose such a heavy responsibility on me? Do you dare to worship the royal family's sacred items?.”
“That's what we want to ask more about…….”
“no. I'd like to ask more! So my heart breaks and I feel sad! People like the Marquis of Córdoba, who are much better than me and have devoted themselves to this country and the royal family, should have received such a revelation.!”
“……her?”
“I really think so. Marquis of Córdoba? Isn't that right? Aren't you the Marquis of Córdoba, who has dedicated himself countless times to the royal family throughout his life, worked tirelessly day and night, and will continue to do so for the rest of his life??”
“Uh, of course…….”
“I guess so. I believe that too. Because you are a great person who cannot be compared to a lucky kid like me..”
“No, now you can say that…….”
“I know very well that it is not the right time. But this is a statement that comes from my true feelings. An old wise man once said this. The truth of the world is so big and sharp that no matter how tightly you cover it, it is bound to be revealed in the end. That's exactly what I'm saying right now. No matter how hard I try to keep my mouth shut, my great sincerity somehow manages to come out through my lips..”
“…….”
“I know very well that the Marquis of Córdoba over there, the Count of Montego next to him, and the person across from me are all great people and deserve respect. Why don't you know? Aren't you true patriots who always maintain dignity even when no one is watching and truly care about the royal family??”
“that…….”
“no. You don’t have to show any humility. That's why. I am-”
As if it had a high-performance motor attached to it..
It's almost like it's equipped with a quad turbo engine..
Geumchil's new exploits and praise attacks were poured out non-stop towards Lloyd's opponents..
“I don't think I'm worthy of being bestowed with divine goods without dare, without permission, according to revelation..”
“Look! Count Lloyd Frontera!”
Someone who couldn't stand Lloyd's remarks shouted loudly..
But that cry did not come from the opposition..
The head of the pro-choice faction, the Marquis of Alcante, spoke urgently with blood rising in his voice..
“What are you talking about? You have received a revelation from an angel. It is truly a revelation. But since I am not qualified to follow revelation, I will pass it on to someone else. Are you treating revelation as child's play??”
“Of course not.”
“Or what is it? I emphasize again, revelation is not a joke. It is the will of heaven. But did you know that what would happen if humans interpreted it arbitrarily and accepted it differently or rejected it??”
“I am…….”
“No excuses! If you recklessly violate the revelation, you never know what kind of heavenly punishment you will receive. Do you really wish for such heavenly punishment to befall our royal family? It's not possible. Even if I die, I cannot bear to see such misfortune and curses. But why do you take revelation so lightly?!”
“…….”
Lloyd sighed softly..
It's like it's really burdensome and I don't know what to do..
He lowered his head with a very embarrassed face..
The Marquis of Alcante, a pro-life noble, clicked his tongue at that sight..
“Count Lloyd Frontera, I am sorry for pressuring you. But as you have said time and time again, you have received a revelation. Isn't this a situation where you don't know what kind of punishment or damage the royal family might suffer if you don't follow it carelessly? So there is no need to feel undue pressure or responsibility. Just follow the revelation. That is truly the way for the royal family..”
As soon as the statement was over.
This time, the opposing Marquis of Córdoba got angry..
“No, Marquis of Alcante? What did you just say? Why do you speak as if following revelation is a given? Are you really making a traitorous statement to hand over the royal family's sacred items to that young man without any verification??”
“……what? Treason? What do you mean by that??”
“Isn't it! It's not just any other item, it's the royal family's new item! No matter how much revelation has been made, shouldn't we take lightly the irreplaceable sacred item of the royal family??”
“But you never know what will happen to the royal family if you disobey the revelation.!”
“However, if the revelation is followed, there will be great loss to the royal family.!”
“Be careful what you say, Marquis of Córdoba! Now you are trying to endanger the royal family with blasphemy.!”
“Be careful what you say from there, Marquis of Alcante! You continue to openly promote treasonous acts.!”
“No, this person!”
“what? this person?”
pros and cons.
The voices of the two nobles representing the two camps rose..
The plenary hall suddenly became a mess..
Meanwhile, Lloyd smiled happily..
No, I didn't laugh out loud..
I clamped down hard on the corner of my mouth that was trying to catch my ear..
I put on an even more embarrassed expression..
Please don't do this to both sides..
Please calm down.
He tried to mediate with his perplexed eyes shining brightly..
Of course, almost everyone in the plenary room admired Lloyd's personality and character..
Except for just three people.
‘……Of course, I knew that person would be like that..’
Javiel from the audience seat let out a deep sigh..
Meanwhile, Julien next to him…….
‘Wow, it's crazy. Lloyd Frontera, really. Even though he is my brother, maybe humans are that heinous.?’
Exclamations and sighs were mixed together like half seasoning and half fried food..
I knew these two as soon as I saw them..
Lloyd is doing that right now..
That this is all a charade and strategy designed by that person..
And one more person.
Amidst the ripe arguments and shouts, there was someone entering the plenary room..
“It is served by King Alicia Termina Magentano. Everyone please show respect!”
The guard captain's loud shout took over the plenary hall..
Everyone stopped arguing at that sound..
You and I both bowed our heads.
A solemn silence suddenly fell.
Inside, the door to the main conference room opened..
King Alicia entered the conference hall with the gaze of a ruler..
pros and cons.
Lloyd in the meantime.
caught a glimpse of everyone.
At that moment, a faint smile appeared on her lips..
‘also. You knew it would be like this.’
In fact, she had vaguely heard the sounds inside even before entering the plenary room..
What is the content of the argument going on?.
who is fighting with whom.
I was able to listen and realize at the same time.
‘His pretense, flattery, and manipulation. I really feel sorry for those people who got their noses pierced even though they knew about you..’
The king's eyes glanced at the supporters and opponents in turn..
she knew.
Both those in favor and those opposed were loyalists..
They were people who sincerely followed themselves and the royal family..
I also knew that their opinions were all correct..
Therefore, I also knew that the arguments of both sides were drawing parallel lines and were unable to reach an agreement..
‘But Lloyd Frontera. You meant to set the stage for Jim to settle the situation once and for all..’
Suddenly, a couplet from two days ago came to mind..
Did Lloyd ask for it at the end of that sparring match?.
Please decide whether to accept his offer..
I ask the Noble House to demonstrate the answer they have come up with in action..
So what did this person answer?.
‘I said I would think about it..’
Suddenly, a bitter smile appeared..
Now that I see it, I can clearly understand.
Lloyd Frontera had this situation in mind from the beginning..
Severe political conflict and division that will arise due to the revelation.
I was trying to give this side a position to mediate that..
‘Is this your gift? This means that I will once again raise my political reputation and status..’
He gains authority by mediating the conflict between the two sides..
Lloyd gets a chance to receive the eyes of summer..
As a result, the kingdom will gain enormous benefits from the trade routes of the Pantara Mountains..
As long as I succeed.
If all goes according to plan.
Himself, Lloyd, and the Magentano royal family..
The picture that everyone would benefit was clearly visible..
That's why.
The King looked at Lloyd..
“…….”
A momentary glance with Lloyd.
A meaningful smile faintly visible at that moment.
Now I understand.
The thoughts you had.
Even though he seems to be selfish every time, he also takes care of this side as well..
That's why I'm greedy now.
In addition to Lloyd Frontera as a subject.
There is an expectation that perhaps I may place more value on you..
That's why.
“Jim tells me.”
Alicia, the determined king.
Her solemn remarks continued..
