[Episode 144]
After coming to my senses and adapting to the world, after about a week, things began to pile up in my future.
“Uncle….”
“Patriarch, I think I worked pretty hard. I’m glad you came back safely…”
Charniel Etam.
The man, who had a little more wrinkles than I remembered, began to calmly take over from me with a really cool face.
“Did your uncle see all the practical work?”
“What can I do when all of my younger siblings are only interested in my work?”
“What about Dad…?”
“They barely did what I pushed them to do.”
As far as I know, Uncle Charniel was someone who didn’t like to use his brain very much.
Should I say I love using a sword? I was a person who liked to move my body anyway
.
“Ah…”
“There was a fairly fertile land far away, and there were also strange plants growing there. I will definitely bring you a present by your next birthday.”
In short, it seemed… he wanted to go to war.
“Because there will be an announcement to formally succeed to the title of Head of Household on your next birthday.”
Even if it’s my next birthday, it’s less than half a year away…?
“Half a year is enough.”
As if reading my eyes, Uncle Charniel answered calmly.
I was so motivated that I opened my eyes and looked completely different from the dark circles I greeted the next day.
‘…how long I wish I had been locked up.’
I didn’t feel very good thinking it was because of me.
“If Dad can take over, it’s okay to leave quickly.”
At my words, Charniel threw down his chest and his eyes sparkled.
‘Originally, this person was so pitiful…’
He was quite charismatic, reassuring, and like a huge mountain.
“It’s a bit hard for me to say this, but… I’ve admired my mother and father for the past seven years.”
Charniel Etam shook his head. I was wondering what the hell he was doing.
“Actually, the butler will know most of the things I handle.”
“Are you a butler?”
“Oh, the original butler… Kylo followed his father down to another place. The current butler is a newly hired person…”
You haven’t introduced yourself yet.
he added.
“Sooner or later, the servants will come to say hello to you, so you can meet them.”
“Come to think of it, there are very few people around here.”
“Your eccentric dad forbade anyone from entering the vicinity except for designated servants.”
That’s why there were no people walking around on the floor I was on. The question was then resolved.
“But I think I saw a prisoner… in the mansion yesterday.”
“Ah…”
Charniel Etam laughed lightly.
While I was gone, the world seemed to be really busy. I was a little surprised to see one of the prisoners among those who seemed to be hired.
‘Didn’t the empire… hate beastmen?’
It seems that the Etham family didn’t like it too much.
First of all, the emperor was very displeased with the beastman.
“Do you remember the Hatar incident from before?”
“yes.”
It says 7 years here, but it was only 3 years ago to me, so there was no way I couldn’t remember it.
“I ripped off quite a bit of consolation money back then.”
“…ah.”
Well, I dared to release such an addictive drug to the empire, but it wouldn’t have ended with a light apology.
‘Did I end up like that in front of me when I was young?’
Since the emperor took off his feet and officially issued an order, the Etam family should have taken off as much as possible.
“I see.”
“Not only the special ore you mentioned, but also a huge amount of compensation, an official apology, and forced to open diplomatic relations with the country that never had diplomatic relations with them.”
It seems to have ripped off a lot more than I thought.
“Perhaps in order not to go to war, it would have been best for that side to listen to our demands.”
I nodded.
Well, no matter how great the country is, it can’t be compared to the empire.
“Above all, since you were here.”
“…It’s me?”
“Yes, the name of the dragon has a greater effect on the country of beasts than I thought.”
So you sold me?
When I narrowed my eyes, Uncle Charniel blew a whistle that made only the sound of the wind with an expression that didn’t suit him at all, then got up quickly.
“Anyway… after that day, we started interacting a bit.”
“Aha…”
“Thanks to that, the perception of prisoners is changing little by little, and among them, there were prisoners who admired you and asked you to work here.”
“Me?”
What did I even say I longed for?
‘Is it because it’s a creature that only appears in legends?’
He tilted his head halfway in puzzlement. Nodding my head, I stretched out and stood up lightly.
“Ah…”
Come to think of it, there is a reason why I read romance fantasy novels so hard.
‘Flower business of fiction!’
My eyes twinkled.
The Etam family is rich, of course, but I also wanted to be a nice rich man who swept money.
First of all, I thought I would start with the clothes business that everyone does.
‘I guess I’ll have to talk to my aunts about business, right?’
I got up from my seat with a smirk at the thought of saving money.
“I’ll take the remaining handover from Dad.”
“…Kuhm, would you? For now, I have organized the data here.”
“…that’s thorough.”
I felt like I knew how quickly he wanted to leave me and go to the battlefield.
“Then I will leave today.”
“Today? so suddenly?”
“Well, I saw you wake up, so that’s enough.”
It’s even more amazing that you’re ready to leave at any time.
I eventually laughed at Uncle Charniel, who had grown farther away from me before I knew it.
‘I really can’t live.’
Still, I was very happy that I felt like I was back.
“Oops then…”
I need to start by buying clothes.
I looked down at Charnett’s borrowed clothes and smiled.

Did they say rumors travel faster than the wind? It was very strange.
While I was taking over on my floor, I didn’t move, and invitations to tea parties and banquets began to arrive in front of me.
‘I heard that he said he was in recuperation outside…’
Did I hear somewhere that my recuperation was over?
Looking at the invitations piled up like a mountain, I felt new. Also, letters arrived from Callan and Cillian Sharnet.
‘It looks like everyone goes to the academy.’
Although I don’t really want to go to school now, so I don’t want to go to the academy.
‘Well, it seems that I can’t come out on my own because it’s a dormitory system.’
I lightly read the letter full of resentment and folded it well and put it away.
I felt madness and was a little scared.
There was a letter from Phil Rosemont, and an invitation to a tea party from Hill Rosemont.
Lillian and Enosh had an imperial order requesting entry into the imperial palace.
‘…Should I pretend I haven’t seen it all?’
If I try to solve all of this, even 48 hours a day will not be enough.
“Eirin.”
“dad.”
“How long has it been since it happened? You already said you don’t have to overdo it.”
“But Uncle Charniel…”
“I can take that damn human and put him back in his seat if you want.”
Yes, I think so, so I’m not saying that I’m having a hard time. dad.
I feel sorry for my uncle, who is excitedly riding a horse and running through the meadow.
And if it’s Dad, I really think he’ll bring Uncle Charniel somehow.
“dad.”
“why?”
“It’s okay to let people on this floor now.”
Dad opened his eyes wide at my words, then smiled.
“so?”
“I heard that your older brothers aren’t coming out of the academy either.”
“In the senior class, you have to submit a thesis as well as graduation assignments, so coming out is picking stars in the sky.”
“Dad did that too?”
“no way.”
Dad laughed lightly, as if it wasn’t even funny.
“It came out.”
“Did you come out after all?”
“no?”
“…then?”
“It just came out.”
Oh you were just a bad boy
When I was quiet, my father lightly opened my papers and invitations, took them and put them in the fireplace.
“Dad…”
“You don’t have to look.”
“Umm…”
I thought so too, of course.
‘Because he’s reckless.’
Thanks to that, I’ll have an excuse, though.
“So I heard rumors that you’re going to do some business.”
“Ah…”
I scratched my cheek.
“Did you hear?”
“okay.”
Looking at him with a very sad expression, I smiled.
“The main character is the father.”
“me?”
“Your father is a model.”
Of course, not only the father, but the whole family will be the target.
From beauty to food, when I return to Eirin for 3 years, I wanted to use the Ropan jjambab that I read hard to make use of.
I giggled.
