Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1373
Only Noblemtl
1373 times. Now I just want to live as a good dad.
The place with the most developed culture and arts on the continent is Petropolis, the capital of the empire.
It is no exaggeration to say that Pertopolis is a city of culture and art.
There is even an exhibition hall for painters and a performance hall for bardos.
That’s all!
There were as many teahouses as there were bars and restaurants.
Teahouses were more popular with wealthy nobles than with commoners struggling to make a living.
As a result, teahouse customers were often nobles or commoners accompanying nobles.
Around noon.
Two people sat across from each other at Sangria, a famous tea house in the islands.
The owners of the Tabula Magic Tower are Marquis Juliana Leola and Bardos Ariette Albano.
Marquis Juliana Leola, who met Bardos, whom she had supported for a long time, said with a smile.
“Are your wedding preparations going well?”
“… … .”
Ariette Albano hesitated, unable to answer.
Marquis Juliana Leola, sensing something abnormal in her expression, asked again.
“Is there some problem?”
“I don’t think I can get married.”
“You can’t do it? “What kind of strange sound is that?”
Marquis Juliana Leola narrowed her eyes.
Behind Ariette Albano is himself, and behind Baron Cloud is Count Elio Lagoa.
Even if he were the emperor, he couldn’t be an obstacle to this marriage, so why couldn’t he?
“When Baron Fabian was in the Adriatic Kingdom… … I think I hung out with a girl for a while. But then she came to inform me that the woman was pregnant… … .”
“If that’s the problem, wouldn’t it be okay to support child support?”
Marquis Juliana Leola responded with an expression that seemed indifferent.
It was not new for male nobles to go around sowing seeds here and there.
In that case, if it was related to the succession, he was killed. If not, money was paid to end it.
“The woman is a baron from the Adriatic Kingdom, and she seems to be asking for marriage. If that happens, I will have to become the successor… … . “She didn’t want to live like that so she asked us to break up.”
“Huh.”
A sigh flowed from the mouth of Marquis Juliana Leola.
If Ariette Albano had been a noble, it would have been worth fighting for the royal seat, but since she was a commoner, it was impossible.
If the other person wants to get married until the end, they have no choice but to become the successor.
However, he himself is against the idea of Ariette Albano becoming the Baron’s heir.
Ariette Albano of Chanha is not even a great nobleman, but is merely the descendant of a baron!
That was a loss to the reputation of someone who had supported her up until now.
Marquis Juliana Leola looked closely at Ariette Albano’s face.
She used to be full of passion, but now she looks as downcast as a vegetable that has been boiled in boiling water.
When I was young, I lost my first love through a similar incident.
After that, he devoted himself to magic and eventually rose to the position of tower owner.
Since he is a wizard, he will live and die as a tower owner, but Bardos is different.
As people get older, they lose popularity and end up dying lonely lives on the outskirts.
So, I secretly supported her marriage.
“How are you feeling?”
“yes?”
Ariette Albano raised her bowed head and looked at the Marquis.
“If the Baron of the Adriatic Kingdom steps down, do you plan to marry Baron Cloud?”
“yes.”
She responded with a crawling sound.
Although I was hurt by something unexpected, I didn’t want to lose Baron Cloud.
“If that is what you mean, how about going to Count Lagoa and asking him for a favor? “I think this problem will be resolved if he steps forward.”
“Count Lagoa said there was no other way for me than to enter the back room.”
Then Marquis Juliana Leola sneered.
“joy! What are men? At the same time, he can’t stand his woman flirting with another man. They go around touching this woman and that woman. “Irresponsible seeds.”
“… … .”
It was a little off-track, but Ariette Albano didn’t say anything.
Because the only person who could do something for him now was the Marquis.
“I will get her away from Baron Cloud.”
“Is that possible?”
“Is it possible? Count Lagoa may be stronger than the Magic Tower in swordsmanship, but the Magic Tower is superior in political power. “Good news will come, so just believe and wait.”
The Kingdom of Adria has been asking Tabula Magic Tower to sell magic guns for a long time.
It goes without saying that magic guns are necessary now that war is in full swing.
The Marquis was planning to make the woman withdraw as a condition of selling the magic gun.
***
Southern Adriatic Kingdom.
Crasion Castle.
King’s office.
Early evening.
King Raoul Brosnan and Prime Minister Marquis Carloman Blas sat across from each other.
Marquis Carloman Blas continued speaking cautiously.
“… … The Taboola Tower has one requirement: The Magic Tower wants a complete separation between Baron Sofia Orlova and Baron Fabian Cloud. “As long as that is followed, we will sell magic guns even this month.”
“Perfect breakup? Are you asking me to kill Baron Sophia?”
“The marriage between Bardos and Baron Cloud, sponsored by the tower owner, is scheduled. “It appears that Baron Sofia suddenly intervened in the meantime.”
“So what are the Prime Minister’s thoughts?”
“The benefit that will be gained by dissolving Baroness Sophia is greater than the benefit that will be gained by Baron Sophia and Baron Cloud marrying.”
“Our goal from the beginning was to build a close relationship with Count Lagoa. Do you think the benefits of purchasing a magic gun are better than that?”
“Count Lagoa is likely to remain neutral until the end. Even if you don’t use Baron Sophia, he won’t side with the Empire. In contrast, magic guns are becoming more and more important. The Imperial Army is reorganizing its units into musketeers. The southern kingdoms must also be reorganized into musketeers. “If not now, I don’t know when I will be able to purchase a magic gun.”
After hearing it, it seemed to be true, so King Raoul Brosnan let out a long breath.
“Baron Sophia sacrificed herself for our kingdom.”
“It was also done out of the baron’s greed to protect his territory.”
“Even so, I don’t feel like killing a pregnant woman. Moreover, she is Baron Cloud’s child… … .”
“Baron Cloud need not worry. He would rather like Baroness Sophia’s disappearance. “The burden that hinders marriage has disappeared.”
“I guess so.”
King Brosnan nodded gently.
If you think about it, it wasn’t a bad result from Baron Cloud’s perspective.
“If Baron Sophia visits Baron Cloud later… … . Tabula Magic Tower will demand an astronomical amount of compensation from our kingdom.”
“Hmm… … .”
A sob flowed from King Raoul Brosnan’s mouth.
Considering the big things, it would be right to abandon Baron Sophia at this point.
“The only nobleman who is close to Baroness Sophia is Viscount Ikov Saiha. “If Viscount Ikov Saiha doesn’t make a fuss, we can let this pass quietly.”
King Raoul Brosnan, who had been thinking for a while, finally opened his mouth.
“Appease Viscount Saiha first. One way would be to leave this job to him. Above all else, obtaining Viscount Saiha’s consent comes first. Do you understand?”
“yes.”
Marquis Carloman Blas looked at the king with admiration.
He was against it at first, but then told Viscount Saiha to entrust the amazing task to him.
Of course, that is the least frustrating thing.
If Viscount Saiha remained silent, Baroness Sophia’s disappearance would soon be forgotten.
Since we are in the midst of a war with the Empire, it is enough to just treat them as warriors.
‘I guess I can send Baron Sophia to Peromuros and then tell my superior, Viscount Saiha, to deal with it.’
I feel sorry for Baroness Sophia, but now her sacrifice is necessary for the future of the kingdom.
The voice of King Raoul Brosnan was heard in the ears of the thoughtful Prime Minister.
“Once the work is completed, Baron Sophia’s territory will be returned to the national treasury.”
“I will do as you command.”
The prime minister bowed to the king without blood or tears and then withdrew.
next day.
An order to ‘return to the Skull Corps’ was delivered to Baron Sofia Orlova, who was staying in the reserve unit at Castle Crasion.
The Skull Legion is at the front line, Peromuros.
Baroness Sofia Orlova was skeptical about sending her to the front lines after calling her to the palace, but she left without suspecting that he had other intentions.
***
Time is short.
Fabian, who had been drying out, gradually returned to his original appearance after three months.
I still went out in the morning, but the return time to the hotel was slightly brought forward.
Then one day, Fabian returned for lunch after going out and asked in passing.
“Lord Lagoa also said you have a child, right?”
“uh. “She has a beautiful daughter who looks just like her mother.”
“Isn’t it strange?”
“what?”
“I get irritated when I think of Baron Sophia…” … . “Children are a little different.”
“What’s different?”
“Should I say it’s affectionate? Anyway, it’s not a bad feeling.”
Then Elio glanced at Fabian.
Perhaps because he had been through a lot of mental distress, Fabian had a somewhat sly look on his face.
“so? Are you planning on marrying Baroness Sophia?”
“There’s nothing you can’t do.”
“What about Miss Ariette? “I don’t think you have any intention of living in the back room.”
“I feel like something inside me has burned out.”
“What are you talking about?”
“My heart no longer races when I hear Miss Ariette’s name. There is no joy, no sadness, no despair. just… … “It seems like everything has burned down to ashes.”
“You fell asleep saying something like ashes. Then, when she says she likes beautiful women, she sacrifices her youth again.”
“I’m not a phoenix. I was really emotional. “Now I just want to live as a good father.”
Elio sensed the sincerity in his calm tone and did not scold him.
“Just know that you can’t be a good father if you hate Baron Sophia.”
“I’m just angry at myself for being blinded by lust… … She doesn’t hate her.”
“Do you think you’ve matured a bit?”
“I need to grow up too. “I’m going to be a dad soon.”
“do not do that. They say that if a person suddenly changes, he or she dies.”
“Please don’t say anything rude. “Lagoa is all good, but sometimes the cubic crystal is a bit of a problem.”
“It’s okay, just do it yourself.”
This is when Elio and Fabian lightly wrestle.
The merchants who had finished lunch passed by Elio.
At that time, Elio stretched out his hand like a thunderbolt and grabbed someone’s wrist.
Just like last time, there was a neatly folded note lying on the table.
Elio quickly checked the other person’s face and then let go of his hand as if he had never done it before.
Fabian, who found the note too late, jumped up from his seat.
Elio spoke softly to him.
“Leave it alone. What are you going to do with it? “It could be a letter from Lord Omar.”
Fabian sat down again without saying anything.
It’s not that it wasn’t, it was because there was no real use in holding it.
Elio’s face hardened as he read the note.
“What’s going on again?”
Elio silently handed the note he was holding to Fabian.
After a while, Fabian muttered with a devastated face.
“this… … this… … What are you talking about? Baron Sophia died in action. “Why does someone from Castle Crasion die in Peromuros?”
