The best territory designer of all time - Episode 93
93fury. Tattletale and dirty talk (1)
Long time ago, long time ago.
There lived a private who had slow movements..
The private always cracked joints at his seniors..
So one day the private made a wish..
‘Star, star, please help me get along better with my seniors..’
And then, oh my god, a star came down to the unit.!
‘……And in front of Two Star's wrath, those with bad hearts were sent directly to the military camp. Ah, happy ending. happy ending.’
Lloyd curled one lip..
Suddenly, I remembered my military days..
There was a guy who was similar to him..
That guy had a nice personality, but he didn't have the military type..
Movement was slow.
I was a little slow to notice.
Plus, I had bad luck..
Among the senior staff, there were some guys with nasty personalities..
I was called by my seniors almost every day and had my joints cracked. No, I often encountered worse things..
I advised this to the guy who was half-crying and thinking about deserting for a few months..
Why are you deserting?.
I would rather stab the unfair behavior of my seniors with a wish attack..
And two weeks later, the unit was turned over..
Not only did the division commander come to the unit, but all the senior officers who had lynched their comrades were taken to the barracks..
It was the power of wish-seeking carried out by a friend..
That's how my motivation became happy.
It was a happy ending in its own way..
‘Phew. Today was just like that.’
Lloyd took off his cumbersome formal robe..
I threw my loosened tie on the chair in my dorm and put it on..
I threw my tired body onto the sofa..
A feeling of fatigue came along with the pleasant softness..
Memories of what happened today also came rushing back to me..
‘I'm so glad. Everything ended well as expected.’
Suspension bridge finally completed.
The completion ceremony to commemorate that.
Received the title of Master Duke from the King..
I also received various privileges and compensation as promised..
At the end, as a bonus, I even told a story..
still couldn't forget.
The expression on King Alicia's face when she heard her taunt was truly cruel..
“……absurdity? Irrational? Besides, mean?”
The king's voice flowed coldly.
King Alicia had a just and fair personality. He especially abhorred bullying the weak through undue force..
This fact was mentioned several times in the novel Iron Blood Knight..
At least, that was the case until he lost an arm in an attempted regicide..
That's why.
Considering the king's personality, it was thought that snitching would work..
At the same time, the king had complete confidence in him..
this is an opportunity.
You have to seize the opportunity when it comes.
If you miss it you'll be a fool.
Convinced, he nodded his head as hard as he could..
“So it is, Your Majesty..”
It will be important from now on.
Choose your words carefully.
The placement of vocabulary is also strategic..
“I dare say that the reality of the Academy that I witnessed was so far removed from the purpose of its establishment..”
“far away?”
“That's right, Your Majesty..”
“tell me in detail.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
As expected, the operation worked..
I gave my voice more strength.
“Students who should focus on learning end up clinging to cliques. Rather than competing for knowledge and wisdom, they put their family rank and authority on display. The children of the marquis and earl families join hands in persecuting the viscount's son, and the viscount's son is pushed around and tramples on the baron's children. And everyone is silent. When it is time to pursue academics, it indulges in the sweetness of power, and when it is time to harbor aspirations for the world, it is frustrated by the absurdity of the class wall..”
Thoughts I have kept in my heart for this day..
I forged it sharply and took it out without hesitation..
“Even the academy's attitude toward guiding such students was no different. The housemaster, who is supposed to point out unfairness, takes unfair kickbacks. The professor, who should be wary and fearful of the absurdity of the world, is wary and fearful of only those things that will escape the eyes of the noble family. And the dean, who is supposed to overcome this deplorable reality, is only responding to pleas for help from students from less powerful families..”
it was true.
It started that day, after taking Julien out of the academy..
Even though I was busy working on the construction of a suspension bridge, I found time to ask questions..
I met the cleaners and restaurant workers who work at the academy..
I once visited a low-ranking noble who graduated from the academy..
I heard numerous testimonies and reports through them..
All kinds of dirty corruption.
The housemaster and dean turn a blind eye to unfairness and take bribes..
Children of high-ranking nobles who believe in that and act even more like their own world..
Before you know it, countless absurdities have become embedded like bad habits, inertia, or rotten roots..
We collected as many testimonies related to it as possible..
Evidence was also carefully collected..
I took out the evidence from my chest..
It was a rolled up wad of paper..
“This is a list that I personally researched and compiled to find out when and where people working at the Academy received personal money. Next to each item, I have also attached a list of people and witnesses involved in each matter..”
“Please unfold it somewhere..”
It was unfolded according to the king's orders..
I handed it over carefully..
The process after that went smoothly..
It was a document in which the evidence and witnesses were clearly organized..
From the moment he confirmed that, the king's eyes changed..
And I was possessed as the angry division commander who descended(?) on the military base with the wish eagle written on it..
“In other words, from now on, everyone involved will be brought in and killed..”
Lloyd, coming out of his thoughts, smiled and said.
I looked around the entrance to the accommodation..
Julien was there.
It's a little darker than when I first saw it a few months ago..
Even my small physique has become a bit more toned than before..
However, the unique round and youthful impression remained the same..
That guy was looking this way and hesitating..
“If you have something to say, say it.”
Pangpang.
I tapped the seat next to the sofa with my palm..
Julien hesitated and came this way..
Instead of sitting next to the sofa, the guy stood and wrinkled his nose..
“Um, hey, so what happens now??”
“What happens? What happens??”
“Those guys.”
“academy guys?”
“uh.”
“Are you worried??”
“That's not it. curious.”
Well, you might be curious..
These were the guys who bullied him for a long time..
There were many people who tolerated such harassment..
But today, those who did that have all been struck down by the king..
Lloyd chuckled..
“I don't know either.”
“uh?”
“How should I know what happens to them? Die or not.”
“……You might even die?”
“Well, you won't be punished that harshly. but-”
“but?”
“You'll get a pretty harsh punishment. Some people will go to jail on charges of bribery, and some high-ranking noblemen will be severely flogged and imprisoned in a mansion for several years, unable to even step outside..”
“…….”
“Anyone else who was even slightly involved will have their future aristocratic lives severely disrupted. because. Because it was properly stamped by the highest person in the country..”
“No way, I expected this from the beginning?”
“roughly.”
It's true.
From the time we took Julien out of the academy..
No, from the moment I measured the angle to use my hand on Diego..
I planned out how to touch them, tease them, provoke them, and destroy them..
“It's not that complicated. It just so happened that I had won a construction project from the King. Because the construction was very necessary for the royal family. I thought that if I completed it successfully, I would get points, and if I gained trust like that, the snitch would work..”
“…….”
Lloyd shrugged his shoulders as if it was no big deal..
At that sight, Julien had to swallow his saliva without realizing it..
Something was huge..
It wasn't like that before.
He was just a person who did things spontaneously..
Not anymore.
I had been watching him since the day he was forced to take a leave of absence and was dragged out of the academy, but he didn't feel like Lloyd Frontera was the same asshole he knew..
didn't drink.
I became surprisingly sincere.
He was especially kind to himself.!
‘He hasn't been mad at me once in months..’
The caring and kind Lloyd Frontera..
When I think back on the past, it was something I couldn't even imagine..
I often wondered if it was the same person..
‘I became so kind... … It was awkward at first, but it wasn't that bad after we kept going..’
The same thing happened when I made myself shovel..
It was my first time shoveling in my life..
Of course it was difficult.
I had a hard time with muscle pain for the first few days..
I even had blisters and peeling on my palms..
But the soreness and muscle pain felt like nothing special..
Because it was really nothing compared to the pain of being bullied every day at the academy..
‘No, I was rather relieved..’
I sweated and shoveled all day long..
Every time I shoveled something, something changed..
The dirt pile was moved. The bell ate it. Then the wire was created. Podong collected and twisted the wires to make a cable..
The cables came to support the suspension bridge built in the royal capital..
I was proud.
At the beginning of the whole process, there was your own digging..
It's like your own shovel is what supported that suspension bridge..
These days, when I think about it like that, my heart suddenly swells..
I suddenly gained confidence..
As my stamina became stronger after months of shoveling, and as the results were built through the sweat I shed, I began to believe in myself more..
‘Maybe my brother made me shovel it to make me feel this way..’
Julien's gaze turned to Lloyd..
My older brother is smiling in a slightly loose outfit..
The brother I always hated, was inconvenient, and was ashamed of..
For the first time, my older brother looked a little different..
Maybe that was why I didn't know..
Without realizing it, Julien said something he thought he would never say to Lloyd..
“thank you.”
“ok?”
“Thank you.”
“Did you eat something wrong?.”
Lloyd picked his ear hole..
Only then did Julien realize his mistake(?) and his face frowned..
“uh. I think so. Throwing up.”
“Actually, so do I. I feel like I'm going to vomit from my earholes.”
“Do not be ridiculous. I'm getting goosebumps right now?”
“Just creepy? I also got a thorn in my tongue..”
Lloyd stuck his tongue out..
Julien laughed..
“But bro.”
“Uh, why.”
“When will you return home?”
“Well, that's fine. maybe tomorrow?”
“tomorrow? so early?”
“uh.”
Lloyd nodded..
There was no need to remain in the capital anymore..
“Construction was also completed. He received everything he received from the King. Now I have to go back to the territory. Because the things that have been done there must be quite piled up..”
It really was like that..
To the bituminous coal mines, the Marez clearing, and even the waterworks..
There were more than one place to manage..
“Besides, I have now saved up all the money to pay off my debt. But what if I hesitate here? What if the interest date is exceeded? Don't you think you have to pay interest one more time that you don't have to pay? So, I have to go back and completely settle my debt before interest comes due..”
“Oh, that's right. however…….”
Julien scratched his cheek..
“I actually didn't know that.”
“I didn't know, what?”
“Our family, the debt my brother just mentioned..”
“iced coffee. that?”
“huh. I really didn't know. Because I just studied here. My father and mother sent me letters every month, but they never mentioned anything like that. I really had no idea. I had no idea everyone was having such a hard time.”
Julien's head bowed..
Honestly, I was a little embarrassed..
Until now, I just thought that I was having the hardest time..
I left my hometown and am suffering in a far away place..
They are busy studying hard and even enduring bullying..
I thought I was proud of myself for putting up with it, enduring it, and not telling my family..
But the reality I found out later was a little different..
I could hear it through Javiel.
How my father was scammed.
How deep in debt was the family?.
How Lloyd began to change in that situation..
“Honestly, I didn't believe it at first. How can I easily believe that my brother has changed like that? But Lord Asrahan said that. Bro, that was really cool. It was a bit rude at times, but he really tried and worked hard. If it weren't for my brother, our family would have collapsed already..”
You don't know how surprised I was when I heard that story..
How much I clenched and unclenched my fist without even realizing it..
How I sighed when I remembered the hardships my family must have endured..
How much I blamed myself for finally realizing this..
‘It turns out it was what I was most comfortable with..’
But I didn't know that.
It's just the old Lloyd.
I didn't believe my brother and just grumbled..
He literally just acted like a child..
“so sorry.”
“I'm sorry?”
“huh.”
Julien nodded..
I was so embarrassed that I couldn't make eye contact with Lloyd..
Still, I mustered up courage..
It has to be today.
My brother will return to the estate tomorrow..
So, I have to say it now..
In this way, Julien carefully brought out the true feelings that he had been harboring in his heart for the past few months, but which he had been too shy to bring out..
“Now I try not to hate you, brother..”
It was that moment.
Ding dong.
