Chapter 123 New Life, New Relationship (1)
Took.
Baron Romero cut off communications.
The face that had smiled brightly at the youngest’s contact was distorted to such an extent that no trace of laughter could be found.
“… 카스트로 이 개새끼들이.”
Lauren’s contact.
It was that Roman was in danger while trying to help his younger brother.
I couldn’t believe it.
Starting with the Blood Fang incident, Roman’s actions were overwhelming, and now he couldn’t imagine where Roman would be harmed.
If it hadn’t been for Lauren, he might not have taken the matter so seriously.
‘Lauren is a child who is careful about contacting her for fear of causing unnecessary concern. Something must have happened to Roman if Lauren, who resembles Rihanna’s careful and caring nature, would cry and contact her.’
My stomach was boiling.
I wanted to lead my troops to visit Castro right away, but I knew that I had to stay calm in times like this.
Baron Romero.
He knew his flaws.
He may have risen to the top as a craftsman, but his fiery personality created in the forge always caused problems in important situations.
So, at one time, I suffered a lot. It was common for him to settle the problem after committing a task, so from a certain point on, when a problem came up, he asked for his wife’s advice.
Rihanna is smart.
After meeting her, Baron Romero made up for his shortcomings, and the solution to this problem was no different.
I went to see Rihanna.
As she went out to water the garden, her expression suddenly changed at Baron Romero’s words.
“Tell me one more time. How is Roman now?”
“Like I just said. How would you like to do this? As you know, the Castro family belongs to the central government and has a close relationship with Marquis Benedict. Touching him doesn’t just mean fighting Castro. In the worst case, it could be stamped on by the central government.”
I said it as calmly as possible.
I tried to calm my excitement and face the facts.
however.
Rather, Rihanna said with a very angry face.
“You say that now? The relationship with the central government is an afterthought. The problem we face right now is that the firstborn of the Dmitri family is in danger, and we, as parents, think that we must be the fence for our children. Dmitri isn’t such a weak family.”
Permission was dropped.
If even Rihanna would agree.
Baron Romero had no reason to suppress his anger any longer.
Heading straight to the conference room, he gave orders to the servants.
“Call the family vassals right now! It is an important matter and no one should be absent.”
* * *
Dmitry.
It is not usually a place to assert the authority of the lord.
Baron Romero was a man without walls enough to drink with commoners, but everyone followed the orders he gave like lightning.
All work has been completed.
Even those who were dealing with urgent matters abandoned their work and immediately gathered when Baron Romero said that it was an important matter.
Dmitry’s conference room.
The vassals of the family gathered together.
Baron Romero looked around at them with a stiff face.
“I would have heard a rough explanation on the way. Roman Dmitri, the eldest son of the Dmitri family, is now facing a dangerous situation due to a feud with the Castro family. According to Lauren’s contact, being taken to the Castro family was her last act. The opponent is Castro of the central government. I know what it means to deal with them, but I’m not going to stand by and put my son in danger.”
this day.
It’s not just a matter of stepping out for your son.
The moment you move your troops in the name of Dmitri, you may have to prepare for extinction in the extreme.
so that.
The consent of the vassals was required.
“I know better than anyone that it is a risky choice. I have already made a decision, but the Dmitri family’s problems are not something I can choose alone. What are your thoughts? If the majority opposes it, we will consider other ways than an all-out war with Castro.”
Even if the decision is made by the family head.
Everyone takes responsibility.
Baron Romero was not a tyrant, and he wanted to seek the consent of his vassals who created the current Dmitri.
‘There will probably be a lot of backlash.’
From now on, it is a matter of persuasion.
Anticipating a fierce backlash, I prepared an answer in my head, but a different reaction than expected came from one side of the conference room.
“I agree.”
It was Jonathan Knight Commander.
He, who is in charge of the military power of the Dmitri family, spoke without hesitation.
“I understand what the lord is worried about. Confronting a figure in the central government means a considerable risk, but isn’t that the eldest son of the Dmitry family? This is not a matter of calculating in your head. Master Roman Dmitri is an iconic figure representing the Dmitri family, and we are prepared to give our lives to protect that symbol.”
onetime.
Jonathan hated Roman.
There was no way that Roman, who came to learn swordsmanship and openly showed dislike and touched family members, could not be liked.
But that too has become a thing of the past.
I tend to think that it is not so easy to change and improve, but Roman Dmitri has completely changed.
Roman.
He became the symbol of Dmitry.
Wasn’t he called a hero by breaking Cairo’s youngest ranking record and playing an active part in the war with Hector?
Jonathan knew he couldn’t always choose a peaceful path in life.
“Just give me orders. People say that Dmitri seeks peace, but I have never been complacent. I can bring Dmitri’s full strength to the Lord at any time.”
passed the hangobi
for war.
Consent of at least three key figures was required.
One was Rihanna Dmitri and the other was Knight Commander Jonathan.
And the last one.
‘Master Blacksmith Hendrick. In order not to become a problem later, his consent is also required.’
It was a difficult problem.
Hendrick sought peace.
Although he had amassed great wealth by making weapons, he thought that blacksmiths should not be directly involved in warfare.
last gateway.
Persuasion won’t be easy.
However, in a situation where Roman was in danger, he had no intention of prolonging the meeting for a long time.
So when you want to say first.
“I’m going to fully activate Dmitri’s forge right now. Knight Commander Jonathan. Please tell me the supplies needed for war.”
embarrassingly.
Hendrick first let out an angry voice.
* * *
Just like Baron Romero thought.
Hendrick sought peace.
If a person who makes weapons was directly involved in war, it was thought that from then on, one could not live while pounding iron.
and.
Like Jonathan, he once hated Roman.
But that was the past.
If you ask what kind of person Roman is in Dmitri right now, Dmitri’s people will say this in unison.
“Mister Roman Dmitri is Dmitri’s future.”
before leaving for the southern front.
Roman broke Dmitri’s backbone and changed it.
Even though he knew it was a problem, he couldn’t easily fix the problem in the mine, but he secured the safety of the residents with the reverse idea of massive investment.
That was the beginning of a virtuous cycle.
The people of the territory found stability thanks to the safe environment, and numerous jobs were created as the mine’s workload increased.
People no longer worried about making a living, and commerce in their estates developed because of the money they spent.
only one change.
It spread like a butterfly effect.
Dmitri’s workers laughed a lot, and they knew that this change had come from Roman.
‘Brother Roman’s choice was not forced by anyone. He himself decided that he needed to look at the iron mine, which is the backbone of his family, and thanks to his decision to understand the reality of the people of the territory, Dmitri’s people are living peaceful days. Master Roman is the future of Dmitri, and he is the one who is qualified to rule us from now on. We must never turn a blind eye to Master Roman’s crisis.’
Moreover.
I also received a present from Roman.
Still, when I saw Salamander, I laughed out loud that the eldest son of the family had created such a masterpiece.
Hendrick said.
The voice that seemed to explode at any moment could not hide the excitement.
“It is unacceptable for Castro or anything to touch Master Roman. Lord. Blacksmith miners, iron mine workers, and even the lords of Dmitry. We have received great grace from Master Roman, and we are not brutes who forget that grace. No one will object to this choice. So if you decide to go to war, tell me what to do.”
The atmosphere turned.
Everyone’s opinion came together.
At the reaction that neither you nor I could let go of this incident, Baron Romero instantly felt a surge of emotion.
‘… What the hell is this?’
Only then did I know
Dmitry.
The losers in the Northeast area were moving in a different direction than in the past.
* * *
Order dropped.
to prepare for war.
All possible manpower was mobilized.
People were busily moving not only to prepare the soldiers, but also to secure the finest weapons and food to arm them.
“what?”
“Is that true?”
Miners in the iron mine.
they heard the news
When they heard that they were preparing for war to save Roman Dmitri, the miners went straight to Master Jacob.
“Where do you eat these damn cubs? Call all the miners right now! Even if we can’t fight directly, help others to prepare for war!”
“All right!”
people got up
Miners were not included in Baron Romero’s orders.
It was a time for them to take a break from their hard work, and especially the night workers were sleeping.
however.
When Jacob’s order was given, they moved without a word.
Night workers who had not slept well woke up from their seats gasping with red eyes.
“These fuckers. You said you touched Master Roman? What can I do? Is it okay to fight with a bamboo spear?”
“Wake up everyone! Now is not the time to sleep!”
among them.
There was also Morkan, the head of safety.
Dmitri nodded loudly at the enthusiasm that spread like a flame in an instant.
Hwareuk.
Roaring.
Blacksmiths were operating at the same time.
The furnace caught fire, and at Master Blacksmith Hendrick’s command, the blacksmiths quickly inspected the weapons.
Kang!
Caang!
“I think you all have heard the news. Master Roman is in danger. The sooner we can finish the job the sooner Master Roman can safely return to Dmitri. There is a saying that you guys have been talking about lately. I am very happy living in Dmitri. We are all grateful to the Dmitry family. So pay for it If you’re not an ungrateful beast, I mean, don’t stop moving!”
Hendrick let out a fiery voice.
Dmitry.
It all moved.
For one purpose, Dmitry quickly lined up.
And that.
It happened less than an hour after Lauren contacted me.
People in the capital couldn’t have predicted what kind of bomb Loren had dropped on Dmitri.
