Chapter 10 Change (3)
I couldn’t believe it at first.
Roman.
That he dealt with Blood Fang himself.
If the person reporting it hadn’t been Knight Commander Jonathan, Baron Romero would have thought he was being humiliated.
“… I don’t know how to explain this situation, but what is certain is that Master Roman seems to have changed. Master Roman killed Blood Fang’s leader, Ben Miles, in front of everyone. And even in the face-to-face meeting with Viscount Lawrence, he showed an attitude of proudly explaining what he had done for such an action. That was not the look of Master Roman we know.”
Jonathan is not one to lie.
Baron Romero, who heard about the situation at the time, revived his expectations for his eldest son, whom he had given up.
‘Could Roman really have changed?’
Romero’s three sons.
Among them, Roman is a sore finger.
A child who, like himself, experienced the days when he was a commoner, so he tried to take care of him even more, but ended up crooked.
My heart ached when I looked at him.
Before.
Baron Romero was working to secure a tunnel for the iron mine by putting in a large number of manpower.
It was such an important task that it took Baron Romero’s life, and he devoted himself so much to the fact that he lived in the iron mine all day.
At that time, Roman was only 3 years old.
He approached toddling with steps he couldn’t even walk properly, and handed over a small snack to give to his father.
how cute it was
Baron Romero, whose face had turned black from the mine work, hugged Roman with a big smile.
Was it like that?
He wanted Roman to live happily ever after.
Unlike the other two sons, he did not know how to do anything properly, so he gave him a generous amount of pocket money in the hope that he would not be ignored anywhere.
I didn’t know that it would be the beginning of a flight.
Roman solved the dissatisfaction accumulated in his heart with luxury, and from then on, the word Dmitri’s jerk was born.
Baron Romero was an inexperienced father.
He was heartbroken over his son’s departure, and his marriage to Lawrence was a gift for his son, who proceeded to the point of losing money.
But it has changed.
I had no choice but to hope.
The process didn’t matter.
Even if Roman hired people with his own money to defeat Blood Fang, the fact that Baron Romero took the lead in carrying out something was important to Baron Romero.
Baron Romero was ready to devote himself to his son at any time if his son showed a slight change.
“Meet your father.”
Roman.
he showed his face
His expression was so calm that it was hard to believe that something terrible had just happened.
I knew it instinctively.
That Roman has changed.
Roman’s gait, Roman’s attitude, Roman’s expression.
That alone made her realize that her son had changed.
No, he may have predicted the current situation from the time he confidently raised his voice against himself in the first place.
“So you took care of Blood Fang yourself?”
words that popped out.
Even if I knew it instinctively.
Baron Romero wanted Roman to confirm the truth.
The answer to your question is simple.
Yes or No.
Stop telling the truth
If you don’t have to worry about it, if you tell what you’ve been through, this problem will be solved naturally.
As a bonus, even his father’s trust.
Roman can get a lot.
but.
‘A performance that exceeds expectations will return as a boomerang.’
My expectations for Roman were zero.
However, a person who would arouse people’s admiration even if he showed 1 showed a performance of 10, so this was a huge event.
the future ahead.
how will we do it.
Are you revealing or hiding yourself?
In Moorim, nangjungjichu (囊中之錐) is a dangerous word.
If a person showed outstanding talent to the point of popping out, he would inevitably end up with his head smashed by a hammer.
one in a million
Those who survived the attention of others were called masters in Moorim.
‘I have not yet fully grasped this world. Compared to the days when he was Baek Joong-hyeok, Roman Dmitri possessed insignificant power, like an ant being trampled on, and exposing myself excessively would not be very good for my comfort. What I need now is awareness of reality and time to fully grow. Dmitri’s reputation as an idiot is well suited to buy time.’
food.
A laugh came out.
rational judgment.
He knew what was right, but from the start of his confrontation with Blood Fang, that premise had no meaning.
revealing oneself.
Roman didn’t know how to hide it.
“Yes I did.”
Heavenly Demon Baek Joong-hyeok.
He was a man who could not live a normal life.
Everyone has a childhood when they were protected by their parents.
But Roman.
No, Baek Joong-hyeok was different.
When Baek Joong-hyeok gained some strength to move his body, he was abandoned on the cold cave floor.
Inside a dark cave.
Baek Joong-hyeok’s father said this.
“You are the son of the Heavenly Demon. If you are truly qualified to follow in my footsteps, prove your qualities from the cold bottom and survive. son I have 12 sons. Even if one of you dies, nothing will change, and even if all twelve sons die, I will create another son. So remember. Dominion is the only way to prove your worth.”
Cave 12.
The life of Baek Joong-hyeok, the youngest, began that way.
It was desperate.
The children who lived together in the cave were not considerate because they were the sons of the Heavenly Demon, and lived a life of the weaklings, stealing each other’s things and competing.
At that time, Baek Joong-hyeok was so weak.
A small physique was a difficult condition to win in competition with others, but Baek Joong-hyeok instinctively knew what to do.
revealing one’s presence.
He knew that even if his strength was weak, he could dominate if he inflated his body greatly and showed poison.
like that.
Baek Joong-hyeok smashed his head with a stone during a fight with the strongest child.
Blood dripped from the stone as he hit it several times, and the children around him looked at Baek Joong-hyeok with surprised eyes.
King of the 12 Caves.
The position of Baek Joong-hyeok has been decided.
Baek Joong-hyeok always revealed himself and survived numerous threats to the end.
The Heavenly Demon was born through adversity.
If he had not walked the thorny path, Baek Jung-hyeok knew that he would not have been able to rise to the position of the heavenly demon.
‘There is no perfect preparation in the world. It is only important to prove yourself to the best of your ability in the reality that is facing you.’
The life of Baek Joong-hyeok.
The attention was familiar and far from ordinary.
But do you want your new life to be normal?
that sounds funny
The life he has lived has made Baek Joong-hyeok what he is today, and now he has become a person who cannot live a normal life.
Roman.
new name.
He had no intention of hiding himself in the slightest.
this day.
A bit of an explanation was needed.
Based on the information he heard from Hans, Roman gave an answer that people could understand with common sense.
“Actually, I was training in swordsmanship separately.”
“Why were you hiding it? If I had told this father, he would have given full support.”
“I know. However, there was a time when I wandered because I couldn’t come to my senses, so I couldn’t confidently ask for something from my father. People call me Dmitry’s jerk. As for myself, I wanted to show that I could do it alone, and although I was self-taught, I was able to reach a certain level.”
It was an ambiguous answer.
Did you learn swordsmanship by yourself?
Since it was Roman’s power to deal with Blood Fang, the doubts were not resolved.
“How did you deal with Blood Fang?”
“According to my research, the Blood Fangs are not a group that trusts each other very much. Intimidation and conciliation, which started from private loans, took the form of a dotted organization, and a few leaders were completely in control of the organization. They were sandcastles and miscreants. Thinking that if he cut off his head, he would collapse at once, so he lured him in with false information and attacked Ben Miles directly.”
“Ben Miles? You mean you lured him out?”
“yes. Blood Fang has shown a definite pattern of behavior over the years. When a powerful aristocratic family touched a member of the organization, they kept their mouth shut, but kept their notoriety by always retaliating against conflicts with easygoing nobles. It’s a bit embarrassing to say, but I’m not the one who is called Dmitri’s jerk. I was sure they were targeting me. So I used me as bait and when the forces were dispersed I attacked Ben Miles and secured their heads.”
“It is a very risky plan. If they were determined to get revenge, they could have sacrificed the comfort of Ben Miles and killed you.”
My heart sank.
Roman’s plan.
It was dangerous.
Baron Romero’s eyebrows quivered as he couldn’t hide his emotions at the fact that his son had experienced such a thing.
Roman said.
“It’s a risky plan, just like your father said. So, in fact, I thought that if my father could figure out my movements, the Knights of Dmitry would move. And that information would have been passed straight to Blood Fang. If so, I will ask my father. If the father is a member of the Blood Fang. Will you risk your life to rescue their leader, Ben Miles, when you never know when the Knights of Dmitri will arrive? The premise of this plan is that they are sand castles. There is no reason to risk your life when people who have been organized by blackmail and coercion can regain their freedom.”
It was like the real thing.
Roman attacked Bloodfang.
There was no lure, and after slaughtering all the enemies that filled the space, he secured Ben Miles, who was trying to escape.
situation afterwards.
The members of Blood Fang abandoned Ben Miles.
As Roman explained, he couldn’t pass the time in a situation where he didn’t know when the Dmitri Knights would attack.
Little truth and most lies.
Roman solved the situation with common sense.
The fact that Dmitri’s idiot killed Blood Fang by pure force might not end with revealing himself, but his very existence may be questioned.
So I gave a realistic answer.
Although the other party could fully understand it, he did not deny the fact that he had done this himself.
The explanation is over.
Baron Romero, who had asked again and again in disbelief, was speechless at some point.
“Son.”
I was thrilled.
Roman.
sore finger.
My son, who thought he couldn’t do anything, showed me how to handle things in such a planned way.
Baron Romero did not give up on his son.
this heart right now.
The act of trying to straighten out his life by blowing his son’s cheek.
Baron Romero’s sincerity was revealed.
“You did a really great job. My son has done what no one else around here has done.”
Is it because the excitement has risen?
He wanted to see his son’s transformation for himself.
“Can I ask for one thing?”
“Tell me.”
“I want to check your swordsmanship skills. How my son has changed and what swordsmanship he used to deal with Blood Fang. Knight Commander Jonathan. Can you prepare for sparring right now?”
“it’s possible.”
The gaze turned back to Roman.
Abby’s heart.
Fully understood.
My son, who was called an idiot, has achieved something.
Roman nodded.
“All right.”
new life.
Roman was faithful to reality.
