Infinite Reincarnation – Arthur Hurt Chapter 165

29-2nd Trava War

“I have no intention of putting myself forward. If others need honor, I can give it to them.”

“Hmm… I don’t know if it will work out the way you want, but I’ll just keep that in mind and ask my acquaintances if they’d like to participate.”

Arthur was annoyed by the strange tone of voice, but he was too busy to think deeply about it. He had other people to meet.

“Oh. A charity event to support the operation of a field hospital? It’s not just about raising money.”

Arthur responded to the words of Count Karl Frant, who had gained some notoriety within the noble faction.

“We plan to raise funds through charity events while also encouraging the support of nursing at field hospitals.”

“I don’t think the noble faction will like it very much… … .”

“Don’t they have any of their own people in the army?”

“Wouldn’t it mostly be the rear?”

Count Karl Franz’s tone was cynical.

Arthur snorted at those words.

“Then let him do as he pleases. What about Count Karl Franz?”

“Me? I will participate just to see your face.”

“thank you.”

Arthur smiled bitterly and expressed his gratitude to Count Karl Prant, who never missed an opportunity to borrow money.

Finally, Arthur visited Count Tzaq’s house.

“Long time no see? I thought you forgot about someone like me.”

Countess Tzak, whom I met after a long time, had dark circles under her eyes and her skin looked swollen, as if she hadn’t slept well recently.

“What happened?”

“Work? Yes, it happened.”

Oh… Arthur felt a sense of despair inside. Was he perhaps abandoned by the king?

The bourgeoisie had planned to raise funds for the field hospital through Zaran, the neutrals through Count Stan, the nobles through Viscount Karl Frant, and the royalists through Countess Tzak, but it would have been difficult if the countess had become a loose thread.

Arthur asked to confirm.

“Have you been… abandoned?”

“To whom?”

“Your Majesty the King.”

“Ha! Me?”

“No.”

Arthur, convinced that Countess Tzaq’s response, was not a kite with a broken string, got straight to the point.

“I have a message to convey to the royalist faction. It’s about supporting the field hospital… … .”

Countess Tzak, who had heard the proposal to first raise funds for support and also to promote volunteer work and the hiring of nurses to care for the wounded soldiers, asked Arthur.

“Is that all?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Aren’t you curious as to why I look so tired?”

Why are you being so annoying again?

There were many things that were difficult to say outright, so Arthur told them indirectly.

“Countess. I am neither your husband, nor your lover, nor your friend.”

So, he was saying that he didn’t necessarily want to know why you were having a hard time. Now Arthur was in a position where he could say something like that.

however…….

“… Black! Sobbing!”

Didn’t Countess Tzak suddenly burst into tears?

Arthur blinked in surprise and left the room to let her cry to her heart’s content.

“Don’t open the door! Whoa!”

I had no choice but to stand there blankly with my back turned.

After a while, Countess Tzak stopped crying and sniffled, then blew her nose with a handkerchief.

“Are you feeling calm now?”

“Yeah. I feel a little better after crying.”

“Then, back to the main point.”

“You didn’t even ask me why I was crying?”

Arthur opened his mouth with a small sigh.

“Have you had any difficulties?”

“huh.”

“okay.”

“… … .”

Arthur sighed again at the unspoken pressure to ask more.

“Ha. What happened?”

“Isabella doesn’t want to see me anymore.”

Isabella, or Madame Zeltny, must have been shocked by her declaration of breaking off relations.

Arthur nodded. He didn’t really wonder why Madame Zeltny had declared a breakup with Countess Tzak, but judging from the Countess’s attitude so far, he thought he should probably ask again.

“Why?”

“I… interfered a bit with his love life.”

“You want me to stop seeing lawyers who don’t even have any titles?”

“No. It wouldn’t make sense to say that to someone who doesn’t care about titles or anything like that. That’s why I showed him the real face of a man.”

“A man’s bare face?”

“If it’s a young and pretty woman, I’ll just get turned on and look at it.”

Wow. Arthur was quietly amazed at the claim that half of humanity was being sold out. However, he couldn’t say that it was wrong, so instead of refuting it, he asked a question.

“How did you do it?”

“Literally. He introduced me to a young, pretty woman in a nice place.”

At those words, a name flashed through Arthur’s mind.

“By any chance… is that woman Catherine Ahoy?”

“Huh? You know it well?”

Arthur’s head became complicated. So Catherine was a friend of Madame Zeltny, and Sangswart was meeting Madame Zeltny, and then Countess Tzak, who was also her friend, connected Catherine and Sangswart? Why did Catherine agree to that proposal?

Anyway, is that why Madame Zeltny broke off relations with Countess Tzak?

Arthur’s head hurts from the real soap opera.

“Why did you do that?”

He hoped that Mrs. Zeltney would meet a good man and live a happy life, because she was a good person.

And the same was true of Countess Tzak.

“She deserves to find a better man.”

“Attorney Sangswart is a good man.”

Countess Tzak never agreed with Arthur’s opinion.

“A good man doesn’t cheat! Sangswot? Huh! He’s just a rascal who can’t even pass a simple test. He just took it easy on Isabella because she’s a divorcee and tried to get her to fall for him!”

Arthur, who had been silently watching the expression of Countess Tzaq, who was selling the ginseng with a fierce look, asked.

“Why are you so obsessed with her?”

“You know what? When Isabella was the countess, she was so brilliant. The sight of her fiercely resisting her father for love was so dazzling to me.”

“But that doesn’t mean I have the right to interfere with her love life, does it?”

“Is it wrong for my family to want to meet a good man?”

“Are you… family?”

“I guess you haven’t heard Isabella’s full name yet. Isabella Zeltny’s former name was Isabella Tzaq. She was the daughter of the Countess of Tzaq. So I am Olke.”

Oh, shit. Arthur was speechless at the fact that he had not known until now.

To him, who was at a loss for words because he was so surprised, Countess Tzak recited the family history of Madame Zeltny.

Her mother died when she was young, and she grew up under her stepmother. After debuting in high society, she became the object of envy for the young ladies and the flower of the cliff that the young men wanted to cut off, but after creating a passionate love story that was so passionate that she broke up with her father, she disappeared from the capital’s high society.

“Her father?”

“Dead.”

“How?”

“The costume designer.”

Countess Tzak continued speaking with a bitter laugh.

“My stepmother remarried her lover and left the count’s family, and my husband inherited the title.”

“What about your husband?”

It was a question with many meanings. What kind of writer is Count Tzak, my brother? Come to think of it, I have never seen his face, and he has never visited his younger sister Isabella.

In response to Arthur’s question, Countess Tzak smiled even more crookedly and answered cynically.

“I don’t know. He must be somewhere drunk and rolling around with his lover.”

“… … .”

“Just like your father. A piece of trash who disguises his passion as love and wastes his life in pleasure.”

Should I say that it is a miracle? Arthur was dumbfounded by the circumstances of the Count Tzak family, which he wanted to describe as a miracle. Was it really true that Madame Zeltni grew up in a family like this? When he thought of her neat appearance, it was truly a miracle.

“Hmm… I see.”

Arthur first tried to appease Countess Tzaq by matching the rhythm, then carefully brought her attention back to the main topic.

“Even so, it doesn’t seem very good for the Countess to interfere with Madame Zeltny’s love life.”

“I can’t even be happy with this!

The words and actions of Countess Tzaq, who had been responding, became harsh. Arthur fled from the place because of the intensity that seemed almost madness, and did not want to get involved again. Fortunately, however, Countess Tzaq’s excitement did not last long. She soon became dispirited and continued speaking in a tired tone.

“Ha. If I had known this would happen, I would have helped you run away in the middle of the night.”

From those words, Arthur was able to get a sense of the complicated relationship between Countess Tzaq and Madame Zeltny. The distant yet close distance between her and Countess Tzaq, and even the reason for her strange obsession with her that he had been able to catch a glimpse of.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Arthur held back his words. Countess Tzaq looked at him blankly for a moment before opening her mouth.

“Arthur Hurt, Your Majesty. Can’t you just close your eyes and hug me?”

“… … .”

She sighed as Arthur blinked in bewilderment.

“Haa… This won’t work, right?”

Then he rested his chin on his palm and sighed.

“Why aren’t there any good men like this?”

As she was staring blankly at Arthur, it seemed as if she was expecting him to respond, so Arthur sighed inwardly and answered.

“Isn’t it because there are already other good men out there?”

“… That makes sense.”

Countess Tzak’s eyes turned to Arthur. Arthur blinked and pretended not to notice her gaze, as if the example was right before his eyes.

Countess Tzak snickered at Arthur’s attitude. Was it because she had confided her feelings to Arthur? She was able to return to the matter of his visit with a much more relaxed and calm attitude.

“So this is a field hospital fundraising and publicity event? Okay. I’ll tell His Majesty the King.”

“It should be done to the royalists, not to His Majesty the King.”

“why?”

“If His Majesty the King were to preside over the event, how would you use the money raised for the field hospital? Would it really be used 100% for the field hospital?”

“… … .”

Countess Tzaq remained silent in response to Arthur’s question. It seemed that she had made the same prediction as Arthur about how King Rai would act.

She sighed and nodded, but said this.

“But if I tell the royalists, it will probably reach His Majesty the King’s ears as well?”

“But it would be difficult for His Majesty the King to lead an event.”

It was a subtle but important issue whether the royalist faction would find out about the purpose and subject of the event first or the king would find out first. If the king found out first, he could take the initiative in the event by putting the royalist faction ahead of the crowd, and then he could use the fundraising money where he wanted.

However, if the idea of ​​a field hospital is spread among the royalists in advance and a consensus is formed about its necessity, even the king will not be able to easily divert the funds raised later.

At Arthur’s words, Countess Tzak asked with a strange look in her eyes.

“Weren’t you a member of the royalist faction?”

“Is it possible that your Majesty is offering her loyalty without any reward?”

It was a poignant statement. If the King had heard it, he would have ordered him to ‘bow down.’

But Arthur was not worried. Countess Tzak was not one to give her loyalty without a price, and she did not even seem to love the king. To put it bluntly, what she loved was her sister-in-law, Isabella Zeltny.
