“How have you been? I heard the news. He pressed down that annoying aristocratic nose.”

“I don’t know if the bridge of the nose was pressed. In fact, if I had done a little more… .”

Shien took a step back without even realizing it.

However, he soon shakes his head and says something he doesn’t know if he really meant it or not.

“If I had done more, I might have been crushed by then.”

“Aha! what. It seems that the atmosphere suddenly changed strangely?”

“It’s just that I’ve learned a little more about being the head of the household.”

“not bad. No, rather very good. Because you needed something like that.”

Just because you have good ability doesn’t necessarily mean you are accepted as a family head.

You must have the confidence to lead people and the confidence to have your retainers follow you.

People who back down unconditionally will never be able to appeal their charms.

Sometimes it stays where it is, and other times it moves forward strongly.

Only when you have such an appearance can you be a real owner.

From Karina’s point of view, Shien was lacking in those parts.

He is timid, cries easily, and has the weakness of being of mixed blood.

I couldn’t stand people’s gaze and kept shrinking.

“Anyway, nice to meet you, Karina. By the way, you know it’s a bit sudden, right?”

But now, all that feeling is gone.

And what takes its place is a certain confidence in yourself.

Could it be thanks to that change that they were able to fight Etria and achieve equal results?

Or did he find that kind of confidence by defeating Etria?

No matter what, Karina nodded while thinking that it was positive.

“It’s not like that. I didn’t say anything to you, because I came to you all of a sudden.”

“Suddenly, I feel anxious. Is there anything wrong with you? Is there a problem with the top?”

“Shien. If it was really such a problem, why would I come here?”

“hmm… I’ll get the money invested, so you know that?”

He even knows how to throw out such a light joke now.

It was also a clear proof that Shien was able to relax.

In addition, even if it is, it means that it is prepared to some extent.

Karina opened her mouth thinking, “I think I made a good investment once again.”

“It’s quite a lot of money, but if you collect it, you’ll stumble here? Are you really going to take it off?”

“Well, I’ll be more grateful if you do that later.”

“Ahahahaha! okay. that’s later Anyway, it’s not an issue at the top. In the first place, if I had a problem, I found someone else. Why would I find you when you are busy?”

“Then it sounds like you came this far because of me.”

Then Karina nodded slowly.

Karina, who looked around for a while, said, ‘It’s gone.’ he muttered.

Shien tilted her head for a moment at Karina’s reaction, but soon noticed.

Who is the main character of the words that she is not there?

As a bonus, why did she suddenly find herself, everything.

“Are you here because of Adele?”

“I know. that’s right. Is it because of the escort or the attendant? I came because of that part.”

“No, if that’s the case, you can just send a letter.”

It was Shien who muttered that in awe.

It’s not even a distance to reach from here to the center in a day or two.

No matter how bad it is, it is a place where you have to run a horse for more than a week.

And for top stocks, a week could ruin an important deal.

Shien was well aware that it could be considered a terrible loss.

“Hold on to worry. I’ve taken care of everything. Also, there are sensitive things to exchange through correspondence, and I came to see how well the place I invested was doing.”

“still… .”

“Forget about my worries. You know what, Sheen? That woman came to me.”

“Speaking of that woman… By any chance, are you referring to Etria?”

Karina nodded at Shien’s words.

At the same time, Shien said, “Come on,” and his expression crumpled.

“Why is that woman looking for Karina? That Demon Hater?”

“I also found it very funny at first. To think that a representative hardliner came to the demons. I couldn’t be cold because of that, so I even showed a positive reaction. It means that if you are going to do nonsense, just shut up and go away.”

“So. How did it go?”

“I didn’t get a lot of reaction than I thought.”

“There was no response? is that the girl? Did the demons treat you like that?”

Even if there are two sides of the sky, it is Xien who thought that such a thing would not happen.

To endure what Fiorega and Etria said to the demons.

It was right to go beyond the level of being strange and to be suspicious at all.

“And I mean. He said something like this The man named Adele next to you. I have a very bad past, so please give me some advice to stay away from it.”

“yes?”

“They asked me that even if they said it, it wouldn’t even work. As a noble, please keep your honor, prestige, and prestige. Why are you bringing someone who wants to stab you in the back?”

The moment he heard those words, the emotion in Shien’s heart wasn’t anger.

Rather, the emotions that came before him were embarrassment and surprise.

‘What are you talking about? Fiore knows about Adele’s past? Does that mean he knows the days when he was Wolfheddin?’

Shien quickly looked at the possibility of that part.

First of all, Fiore is one step ahead of Lichtenau in handling information.

It is also a part that Shien herself is clearly aware of and acknowledges.

But did Fiore really get information about Adele’s past?

‘no way. It was said that it was the royal family, not anywhere else. Is it Fiore? The imperial family?’

Even if it’s Lichtenau or Fiore, no. Even if it was any powerful family in the empire.

No one dared to open their mouth or open their eyes in front of the name of the imperial family.

I just wait with my head bowed and my mouth shut under that name.

The Imperial Knights are openly said to be the strongest force in the Empire.

It is not known exactly, but there are rumors that there are many special people under it.

In that situation, if Fiore really knew Adele’s past.

It’s better to keep your mouth shut rather than bragging like this.

‘In other words, Fiore didn’t know anything properly.’

All they found was that Adele’s past was completely empty.

It must have been the part that was completely erased so that it could not be found anywhere or how.

It was clear that he had subtly grabbed Karina with it and shook it.

‘really… this damn woman. Now you’re trying to feed me like this?’

Still, at least I thought she was a woman who knew honor.

Are you trying to induce Lichtenauer’s infighting in this way?

“It is an obvious statement. That’s how you go around saying things like that to other nobles as well, degrading Lichtenau?”

“no.”

For a moment, Shien wondered if he had heard it wrong.

Yes, I expected a positive answer like that, no, I was sure.

What came out of Karina’s mouth was a negative answer.

“No?”

“huh. no. Etria, that woman. He really only said that to me. I checked all the sources on the nobles side, but there is nothing that Etria said to other nobles similarly.”

At those words, Shien was embarrassed once again.

Isn’t this a ploy to undermine Liechtenauer’s prestige?

He didn’t say a word to the nobles, did he really only talk to Karina?

This is not a ploy to undermine Lichtenauer’s reputation.

‘Then, do you even want a rift between Lichtenau and the top of Regram?’

If you think about it, this is a story that is not feasible at all.

Would Karina believe Etria’s words, or would she believe her own words?

Of course, you will believe your own words much more, no unconditionally.

Even after thinking about it, Etria could not gain anything by lying like that.

Rather, it could be like provoking the imperial family for no reason.

Of course, Fiore couldn’t even imagine that part.

“Shien!”

“Ah yes. Karina.”

“say it. Are you really okay? Are you really a man you can trust?”

“of course. I told you before that you can trust me.”

“I need something certain. I also did some research on Adele after you left, but there was nothing. As if it never existed in this world in the first place! there’s nothing left Someone intentionally erased it, but that man is by your side now. By showing up at the most difficult times!”

At Karina’s words, Shien understood why she was so sharp.

If you listen to that far, anyone can doubt enough.

“… Karina.”

But Shien had already heard all the facts.

And even if you haven’t heard the stories.

There was no thought of suspecting Adele in the first place.

“Adele is not like that.”

“you really… !”

“On the contrary, he is a very great person. You can’t even imagine.”

The moment Karina tried to open her mouth again, beating her chest as if she was frustrated with that answer.

Her instincts quickly stop her and whisper to calm her down.

Soon after, Karina found out why she had that instinct.

“… you know something That too in great detail.”

“… .”

“So you have this certainty. It’s not just simple faith or love. There is something so certain that it cannot be shaken. Am I right?”

Instead of answering, Shien nodded quietly.

Karina, who knew her better than anyone else, was convinced the moment she saw her.

That she had nothing to worry about.

‘sh*t. Then you’ve wasted a lot of time. damn it!’

Karina grabbed her head and frowned.

As a merchant, coolness is an essential element, and I’ve kept it well.

This time, I couldn’t stand it and jumped out.

As a result, I ended up eating the whole thing for more than two weeks.

“ah.”

Then Karina let out a sigh as if she had suddenly realized something.

“Karina?”

“… I’m going.”

“yes? No, wait. Take a day off and go!”

“busy. When you’re done with your business, you should go back quickly.”

“No, but… .”

Shien’s tone of absurdity.

Then he asks in a casual tone.

“… Aren’t you going to ask more?”

“what.”

“About Adele’s identity.”

“huh. i won’t ask I won’t even listen.”

From nob le mt l. co m

Maybe that’s what the damn woman wants.

Karina swallowed those words in her mind.

‘b*tch like a dog. Did you aim for this?’

What Etria was aiming for was neither the loss of Lichtenauer’s reputation nor the rift between herself and Shien.

She didn’t know anything either, so she was trying to get at least some certainty.

As I said, if Adele’s identity isn’t clear, if there’s a problem.

Shien will not be able to properly explain to himself.

Then I will return with a slight anxiety about him.

On the contrary, if I get a definite answer like now, I will go back to my heart no matter what.

If that’s the case, Fiore also roughly looked at the atmosphere and came to a conclusion.

I don’t know for sure, but Adele is a real gem with no problems.

‘What do you think of a merchant? How dare you start a fight over me?’

It seemed like it would be quite busy once I went back to the top.

“Shien, then stop… .”

“Take a rest! Can’t you hear me, Legram Sangjuju?!”

“oh my! A guest said he was leaving, so why are you holding on to him!”

“I know it’s like that if you take a break! I have something to show you!”
