Chapter 29 Recruitment (2)
The day Kevin was called by Roman.
Kevin’s family freed themselves from the menace of Blood Fang and cleaned up their messy home.
“Damn you guys. You have made a complete mess of your housekeeping.”
“Where did you come home anyway? If it wasn’t for Master Roman, we don’t know what would have happened to us now.”
To Clark’s words, his wife, Michelle, answered.
Even then.
The Clark family had a hell of a day.
Due to usury, he blew away all his property, and the nasty men who came every day screamed and turned the house into a mess.
Clarke’s face was not ready for violence, and Michelle sat on the ground and cried.
Even in such a situation, he endured the pain, gritting his teeth to protect his daughter.
One transaction only.
A farmer’s dream of cultivating his own land fell into abyss when he met a vicious criminal group.
“… But is it true that Master Roman subdued Blood Fang? Master Roman we know is not a person who can do such a thing. Kevin made a lot of fuss and told me that Master Roman was a great man, but I can’t believe it because of what I’ve seen and heard.”
last few days.
It was an incredible day for Clark.
Roman Dmitri’s saving Kevin wasn’t enough, so he went to Lawrence and defeated Blood Fang.
Hell is over.
Hans, Roman’s agent, came to take care of the Clark family and thanks to them, they were able to return home.
Roman was a benefactor to them. However, the reason why there is no choice but to raise a question is because the only son left home to follow Roman.
Dmitry’s jerk.
Knowing how such a reputation was formed, I was concerned about whether my son’s life was worth it.
Michelle said.
“The truth is not important to us.”
Michelle squatted on the floor and removed the disheveled fragments.
Those broken into pieces clearly showed how painful the time had been.
“As rumor has it, the Dmitri family may have fabricated the incident to manage Master Roman’s reputation. But the important fact is that we had the Bocchan’s help. If Master Roman hadn’t helped us, we don’t know what would have happened to Blood Fang. So the truth doesn’t matter. Master Roman has given us great grace, and no matter what people in the world say, we must live with a heart of gratitude to Master Roman for the rest of our lives.”
I believed in Roman.
Just because of the fact that he had received grace, Michelle was cautious about mentioning Roman’s name.
The person my son will follow in the future.
The grounds for trust were sufficient.
Michelle would do anything for Roman.
It was then.
smart.
“Are you there?”
I heard the man’s voice outside.
For a moment, the Clark family showed signs of nervousness.
The memory of the nasty men storming into the house came back, and I was afraid that something like that might happen.
however.
A warm smile greeted them as they opened the door.
Hans said with a grin.
“There was an order from Master Roman. From now on, I will guide you to the new home you will be living in.”
Hans’ words.
It was a rope that came down from the sky.
* * *
I was bewildered.
Kevin’s family couldn’t come to their senses at the sight unfolding before their eyes.
“… Are you really saying that you will live here from now on?”
My voice trembled.
It was different from the shack I lived in.
Hans smiled and added an explanation to the nicely built wooden house.
“Of course. This is not the only gift from Master Roman. We plan to lease some of the land belonging to Master Roman to Mr. Clark. No land charge is required. Master Roman promised Kevin to take care of his family, and you can think of the house and land as a reward for keeping that promise.”
house and land.
It’s a dream I’ve been wishing for all my life.
In a situation where that was accomplished in an instant, Clark spoke in a cautious tone, suppressing his emotional emotions.
“We received a great blessing just by subduing Blood Fang. But may I ask why you are so gracious? Even if it is gold or silver, I cannot accept it in return for sacrificing my son. So please tell me the truth.”
Roman’s gift.
It was too much.
Kevin was just an ordinary boy and knew he didn’t have the qualities to deserve such a great reward.
why.
I couldn’t understand why he was doing so well.
Hans laughed.
“I can’t fully understand Master Roman’s intentions either. But what is certain is that Master Roman intends to raise Kevin as his own person in the future. That’s the reason for the reward. Master Roman’s order was to help the person’s family to live a peaceful life because he is his own person.”
“… okay.”
still.
It was the same thing I didn’t understand.
But Hans’ laugh.
And the words that he would raise Kevin as his own person calmed his anxious mind a little.
Hans left immediately.
The Kevin family, who had been staring at the house for a while, collapsed in their seats and cried without anyone saying anything first.
home like home.
How much did you live for this one.
The moment that happened, Clarke cried out loud as he hugged his wife and daughter at once.
for a while.
Their crying never stopped.
And news of them soon began to spread little by little throughout Dmitry.
* * *
Rumors circulated.
It is said that the Clark family in the slums succeeded in entering the city.
“Did you hear that rumor?”
“What rumors?”
“The Clark family. It is said that the family that was in trouble for misuse of usury against Blood Fang entered the family after receiving a call from Roman Dmitri. Rumor has it that you even got the land for free?”
“really?!”
The man was startled.
entry.
It was a symbol of rising status.
People without special wealth have no choice but to live in the slums outside the castle, but
the Clark family, who were less fortunate than themselves, succeeded in entering.
At first I didn’t believe it.
I thought there was no reason for Roman Dmitri to treat the Clark family that much, but as time went by, stories popped up here and there that he had seen the Clark family inside the castle.
“The rumors were true. The Clark family not only lives in a nice wooden house on the outskirts of the castle, but also rents and cultivates the land. You can believe it because I saw it myself and said it.”
“You really don’t know how people live. The Clark family, who almost ruined their lives due to usury, succeeds in reversing their lives in an unexpected way. Anyway, I’m really surprised by Master Roman’s recent actions. In the past, I only heard rumors that there was an accident somewhere, but like the subjugation of Blood Fang, this time it was your own person and you called the Clark family to the castle. It’s definitely different from before.”
Roman.
This time, he was also the subject of rumors.
The fact that he had risen in status just by following Roman had to change his gaze toward Roman.
Kevin is an ordinary boy.
If a boy with nothing special was given a house and land just because he swore allegiance, it could be interpreted as meaning that others have opportunities too.
Is that why? As the story of the Clark family spread throughout Dmitri, people talked about how life would be great if you became Roman Dmitri’s person.
It wasn’t a false rumor.
Indeed, that was the result.
However, there were still people who spoke negatively, blocked by the reputation of ‘Dmitri’s jerk’.
“Tsk tsk tsk tsk stupid idiots. To live in Dmitri for decades and still be excited about rumors. Do you see Roman Dmitry as your own person and someone who would treat you that way? Like the subjugation of Blood Fang, it’s all the work of the Dmitri family? Let me see you sometime. what will happen in the future I bet it won’t be long before Kevin will appear before us all dead.”
Even then.
There was power in the words of those who spit out negative words.
and after a while
Taking a peak at rumors.
An incident occurred that completely changed Roman Dmitri’s reputation.
* * *
After Barco’s social party.
Immediately after returning to the estate, Roman said.
“Let’s go on a three-day vacation.”
“… A vacation?”
Kevin blinked.
It’s a vacation.
That too for 3 days.
He couldn’t readily accept it.
There is no holiday for the poor.
On sunny days, I went outside to work unconditionally, and when there was no work or when the weather was bad, I could take a break at home.
So the word vacation was very unfamiliar to me.
Not knowing what to do, he looked up at Roman with a fierce face, and Roman said in a tone that it was nothing special at all.
“Resting well is also an extension of training. You’ve worked hard so far, so please come and have a good time with your family.”
“… All right.”
like that.
Kevin took a vacation.
I was bewildered.
Kevin, who had cut off contact with the outside world and focused only on training, was not used to the fact that he was going back to his family.
It’s funny when you think about it. Kevin has lived with his family all his life.
However, since he had been with Roman, the shadow of Roman occupied a very large place in his life.
‘Which one is the boy’s real appearance?’
Roman Dmitry.
He was like an onion.
When dealing with an enemy like Blood Fang, he showed a cruel appearance without the slightest mercy, but he showed excessive devotion to his own people.
But it wasn’t always warm.
Because public and private affairs were clear, when he moved with a certain purpose, he did not blindly consider him as his own person.
A person who is sure of the line.
That was Roman.
I don’t know what the real Roman looks like, but there was one thing Kevin knew for sure.
before leaving for vacation.
Hans came over and said.
“You’re going to see your family after a long time, are you going to go like that? Master Roman has prepared clean clothes for you, so wear them and meet your family. And don’t you need money to buy gifts for your family? From now on, 30 silver will be paid every month, so whether you buy a present or spend extravagant things with it, have fun.”
clean clothes and money.
It was a Roman gift.
I was crying.
really.
He was a meticulous person.
Despite his cold face, Roman always knew what Kevin needed.
‘It doesn’t matter what looks real. My lord treats me with respect. That alone is enough reason to follow the lord.’
A laugh came out.
Kevin went to the shower, washed himself, and changed into the clothes Roman had prepared for him.
The material was different from the gritty clothes I usually wear.
The soft feeling that wrapped around my body was ecstatic, and as the silver coins fluttered in my pocket, I began to feel excited about seeing my family in a different way.
Until then, Kevin had no idea what had happened to his family.
Just like the image of herself in clean clothes, her family is living a different life than before.
