Chapter 56 Everyone’s Man (2)
People’s hearts were so cunning.
If the.
If Flora had known in advance that Dmitry was going to have a party, Flora would not have attended, even making excuses.
Curiosity about Roman was a separate issue. Right now, I needed time to look back at myself, who had only been weak, so I stayed in my room for several days.
furthermore.
Sylvia said this.
“… Sister, didn’t you know there was a party going on? Oh my, I guess my uncle didn’t say it on purpose because he had a problem with breaking up his marriage. This party is not hosted by Dmitri, but by ‘Lawrence’. Thanks to Roman Dmitri, Lawrence overcame a great crisis, so my uncle planned a party saying that he had to repay the favor to his benefactor. In the process, he invited me. I was happy to go to a party with my sister, but then I will have to go alone.”
It was a gut-wrenching remark.
Even if you’re not interested in partying.
Even though I had no intention of participating in the first place.
I was just angry.
In particular, Flora turned the arrow to her father at the remarks of Sylvia, who had always felt unworthy of herself.
‘Is that why you didn’t tell me?’
breakup issues.
It’s an embarrassing fact, I admit.
However, if it is a party to pay back the favor to Roman Dmitri, as a representative of the Lawrence family, it is appropriate for him to attend.
Wasn’t it his own judgment that brought Roman in in the first place?
Flora struggled to smile in front of Sylvia, but as soon as the conversation was over, Flora immediately went to see her father.
“father! I hear there’s a party at Dmitry. Why didn’t you tell me?”
I asked directly.
Why?
I wanted to know what my father thought.
however.
My father’s answer was unexpected.
Viscount Lawrence looked at Flora and said with a rather serious expression.
“Flora. This father has learned a lot from this incident. So I made up my mind that from now on I will never force you to do things you don’t like.”
that’s true
It was an embarrassing answer.
War with Barco.
It was an incident that made Viscount Lawrence think a lot.
In particular, Flora’s awakening was shocking.
I still thought of it as a flower in a greenhouse, but she showed her true self in a family crisis.
‘I was stupid. Flora is a person who can do more, but the father’s lack of insight prevented him from recognizing his daughter’s potential. Flora’s decision to break off the marriage was a very natural choice. Flora deserves to live her life for herself, not for being someone else’s woman.’
Looking at the daughter who fights until the end.
Viscount Lawrence reflected on his actions.
really ugly
A father who doesn’t even know what his daughter is good at and forces her into an arranged marriage to solve the family crisis.
I didn’t want to do that again.
Because I confirmed what kind of person my daughter is.
I made up my mind not to leave any regrets in my future life.
“Daughter. At the crossroads of life and death, this father witnessed a talent that shines brighter than anyone else. Not as a father, but you were really cool then. In a situation where no one can make a decision, he showed the ability to accurately determine what is right, and thanks to Roman Dmitri being pulled into the battlefield, we were able to win the war. So live for your dreams from now on. I will not repeat the mistake of dropping your worth and I am ready to support you with anything you want.”
It was a moving statement.
Viscount Lawrence looked at Flora with eyes dripping with love and said his promise for her.
the problem is.
Flora didn’t want that.
‘… I want to attend the party.’
Sylvia is simple on his behalf.
I hated that.
Sylvia is a fox.
Imagining her fawning over Roman to seduce him made me feel grumpy already.
to be honest.
He also wanted to have a proper conversation with Roman.
In the process of speaking by magic communication, Roman expressed Flora as ‘his own person’ in the case of Antoni Barco.
It was unexpected.
Because I always thought he was a person who only made cold and pragmatic judgments.
Seeing him take revenge on Antony Barco for touching his person became an opportunity to see Roman again.
The time to blame yourself is over.
Now I am ready to face Roman.
Is that why?
Flora spoke differently than usual.
“by the way. Why did you invite Sylvia to a party I don’t even know about?”
“It is because of my personal greed.”
“If you are greedy… no way.”
Viscount Lawrence laughed awkwardly.
He gave up on his daughter’s future.
From now on, I plan to take care of Flora to live independently, but apart from that, greed for Roman was infested.
‘He’s a really greedy man.’
this war.
Roman’s actions were phenomenal.
He proved his potential as a 4-star swordsman by attacking Barco’s rear and defeating Homer with a bold decision that changed the atmosphere of the war.
Lately, people have called Roman Dmitri the man of all people.
He was a man coveted by everyone in the Northeast, and Viscount Lawrence was no different.
but.
He had no intention of sacrificing Flora.
So after devising a method, he came up with a very good replacement named Sylvia.
“Kuhm.”
Viscount Lawrence coughed.
In response to his refusal to answer, Flora said.
“all right. For that reason, I will follow Sylvia and assume the role of guide. Still, it’s a place to pay back the favor to Roman Dmitri, and it doesn’t make sense for me not to attend because I’m entangled in the past.”
“Okay. You don’t have to step out. daughter I hope that in the future you will marry the person you truly love. Don’t worry, I’ll never have anything to do with Roman Dmitri from now on.”
Viscount Lawrence, who holds back until the end.
How can you be like a frog?
It was Flora who wanted to hit her father’s head, albeit only for a moment.
As a result, Flora decided to attend the party.
It wasn’t because of her stubbornness.
I was about to give up attending because of my father’s stubborn attitude, but an invitation came from Dmitri.
[How about proving to people that although our relationship has deteriorated due to an unfortunate incident, we have recovered our relationship through this incident? Dmitri is ready to forget the past and start anew. So, I hope Lawrence’s flowers will shine at the party for Roman Dmitri.]
Baron Romero.
he was a big man
Flora Lawrence’s behavior was to completely ignore Dmitri, but he was happy to accept Lawrence’s message of reconciliation by hosting a party.
It was fortunate for Lawrence.
As Barco collapsed, Dmitri’s solo system was predicted, and if Dmitri showed a hostile attitude because of the past, Lawrence’s future would have been hopeless.
Fortunately.
Flora announced her intention to attend the party first, so Viscount Lawrence was able to ease his worries.
that afternoon.
Flora, Sylvia, and other ladies from noble families came to visit Dmitri.
The party was scheduled for the evening, but I deliberately arrived early.
That was the majority opinion.
With the exception of Flora, everyone had a clear purpose of snatching Roman, so they wanted to see what kind of land Dmitri was in beforehand.
“This is Dmitry.”
“Like rumors, it sounds dull.”
walking through the center
The ladies of noble families reacted with slight disapproval.
Sylvia was especially severe.
Seeing Dmitri’s disregard for aesthetics, she frowned and looked around.
“I don’t know anything else, but I do know that Dmitri’s owner is a man far from art. I don’t know how to live in a town like this. In the capital, non-nobility commoners also pay attention to basic aesthetics, but Dmitri is dull from beginning to end. Is someone deliberately protesting because they think it’s not the blacksmith’s land?”
Complaints continued.
how long did it take
I was about to go back to the party, but I saw an unfamiliar sight in their eyes.
“oh.”
“Are those the miners?”
far away
A group of people could be seen walking.
It must have just been finished, and it was covered in dust, and the face was so pale that it was hard to make out.
At first, the women’s faces, which showed curiosity, frowned in an instant.
As the miners approached, a cloud of dust wafted through them, and some of the women responded reluctantly by covering their noses with their fingers.
“Ah, that pretty dress will get dirty.”
“This is why Dmitri is a problem. Mine workers roaming the streets.”
It was a double attitude.
nobles of the northeastern region.
They recognized Dmitry’s strength.
However, knowing that Dmitri came from a commoner family, they thought he was a little different from them by nature.
at least
Flora’s reaction was different.
At one time, she also hesitated about marriage due to prejudice against Dmitri, but after experiencing Roman, she realized how foolish and rash she was.
I no longer judge people carelessly.
For that reason, when Flora saw the miner, she did not walk away like the others.
Knowing that the miner in the mine is the source of Dmitry.
Looking at the miners with curious eyes, she suddenly widened her eyes and identified the face of one of the miners.
‘no way.’
It was clear.
familiar face.
One of the miners was none other than Roman Dmitri.
At first I thought I was looking at it wrong.
Why on earth did Roman Dmitry appear covered in dust like the miners in the mines?
shabby clothes.
Skin stained with dirt.
However, the face he could see under the hard hat he wore on his head was the same as the Roman Dmitri he remembered.
It was then.
A middle-aged man ran to Roman panting.
“young master!”
It was Hans.
Hans checked Roman’s condition, and then wiped Roman’s body with a handkerchief, making a fuss.
“I can’t stop you from going to the mine, but if you work while taking care of yourself, is it something that happens? I said it last time too. Bocchan is not the only body of Bocchan. However, it seems that Hans’s heart will be torn to pieces every day when he shows up covered in dust. Look at this soup. Didn’t the handkerchief turn black even after wiping it a little?”
“That’s enough.”
“no! Too bad!”
Was it because Hans’ voice was loud?
The ears of the aristocratic women, including Sylvia, pricked up.
Dmitry’s son-in-law.
Now that the rest of the sons had left Dmitri, there was only one identity of the boy Hans was calling.
Roman Dmitry.
For a moment, the eyes of the noble women turned to Roman.
‘That person is Roman Dmitri, right?’
Those eyes are like.
It was like a hyena that caught its prey.
