Returned Lord Wants To Rest - Returned Lord Wants To Rest chapter 108

Chapter 108.

I opened my office and shouted at my father.

“What do you mean engagement?”

I had no thoughts of engagement at all.

Father frowned.

“I guess Dave said it.”

“yes. But an engagement?”

“It came from the Sarkid duchy. It won’t be a bad condition for you either. No, it’s not that much, but if you go to the Duke of Sarkid, you should be very grateful.”

The Duke of Sarkid?

That’s what it is…

‘Ellis Sarkid.’

She must be the granddaughter of the sword castle.

Old memories came to mind.

Apparently, the Duke of Sarkid had a plot to marry me and Elise.

“I definitely said no!”

“So you don’t want to get engaged?”

“yes!”

“Then, that’s it.”

what?

Giving up was quicker than I thought.

“In the first place, I had no intention of forcing you to marry me.”

“yes?”

“I know you refused. But if time passed and you changed your mind, I was willing to agree.”

“Ah yes.”

Well, it was fortunate.

But my father asked me with a coy look if this was the end.

“By the way… you’re the granddaughter of Sword Saint-nim… you’re going to be the son-in-law of the Duke of Sarkid…”

“father···.”

Seeing my father like that, I let out a sigh and expressed my intention of refusal once again.

***

The family head succession ceremony was carried out in an instant.

When only I arrived, preparations were complete so that the succession ceremony could proceed immediately.

At the family head succession ceremony, I was able to see a familiar face.

“Freed!”

“Oh, who is this? You’re a dropout from the academy.”

Are you a dropout? To a friend I haven’t seen in a long time.

Fried still approached me in a friendly way after seeing him for the first time in a while.

“What were you doing for a living anyway?”

I was in Sanctuary to become a black mercenary, fight and defeat a champion in the Colosseum, face a villain named Veles, realize my lack of strength, and reach demigod status.

I can’t say that, so I was vague.

“Just like that.”

“Thanks to you and Ea Kirton dropping out, I was able to graduate second in class.”

oh.

I knew Fried had talent, but to graduate second in class.

It was a tremendous achievement for Fried, the scion of a border noble.

“Besides, Moredt is the chief.”

“what?”

For a moment I was perplexed.

I wondered if I was wrong.

Morredt Faust.

Surely he wasn’t a freshman like me?

“Oh right. I forgot this. There is a class skipping class at the academy, so Moredt skipped two grades.”

“Oh… wait a minute!”

“Hee hee, I also skipped a grade.”

My academy friends were really great guys.

“Frid, both you and Moredt are amazing.”

“However, Moredt and I cannot be compared.”

“huh···? why?”

“Oh, I guess you haven’t heard the news yet. In the competition for the successor of that child, I beat my older brothers and took the place of successor.”

Admiration came out of nowhere.

It’s me, I was lucky before the return and won the successor competition.

Originally, there was no case where the youngest child won the succession competition.

Usually, the firstborn usually won.

However, Moredt managed to win the position of successor under such unfavorable conditions.

“Moreddt… that’s great. Perhaps we will see that sooner or later.”

After talking with Fried, I focused on the family succession ceremony.

‘Oh, that’s nice.’

Dave, who was dressed up for the family head succession ceremony, was better than expected.

‘Now, as long as Dave gets married, there will be no problem with the Caldert family’s succession.’

In the midst of everyone’s celebration, Dave became the head of the Caldert family.

And the father saved the villa and vacated the house with the mother.

I went to visit my older brother Dave, who had inherited the family headship.

“Lord Caldert!”

“Why are you acting so hard all of a sudden? Just treat it like normal.”

“No, I cannot.”

Dave sighed.

“Ew, it’s the governor’s order! Treat it like normal!”

“If that’s the case… Dave bro!”

I continued talking with a very serious expression on my face.

“Sooner or later the plague will spread.”

Around this time, the epidemic was expected to spread gradually.

It was a plot of an organization called Noblesse, but I couldn’t wipe out the organization.

That means the epidemic will spread anyway.

And the medicine for the contagious disease has already been obtained by me.

“what? Epidemic? What is that all of a sudden?”

“I heard something while traveling. And get as much wild grass as possible. Because that is the medicine for the plague.”

It doesn’t matter if you make it or not.

Yes, I already knew that there was quite a lot of wild grass in my field in the free city of Jordon.

“Uh… I got it once.”

“And Dave has to go to the capital of the kingdom soon.”

It was Dave who nodded.

Of course, the head of the Caldert family was now Dave.

However, he did not inherit the title of count.

From nob le mt l. co m

Now, the capital of the Roto Kingdom, to be exact, must go to the royal family and inherit the title.

And I was thinking of following that journey.

“yes.”

“Then I will accompany you.”

“Yeah, it doesn’t matter.”

I had to inform the royal family.

That there is a great evil called Veles.

Besides, I had to prepare faster because I had recently heard strange news.

“Then see you later!”

I said goodbye to my brother Dave and went back to my room.

On my way back, I remembered one thing.

“ah! right!”

I forgot the most important thing.

Snake wine made from Ancient Snake.

A drink that is good for the body and tastes good.

Besides, my liquor is like a treasure that has been properly aged for several years.

“I almost forgot.”

I started writing a letter in haste.

It was to tell the ex-thugs who were managing my house in the free city I was asking to send my precious snake liquor.

***

I spent a lot of money and delivered the letter as quickly as possible.

And it wasn’t long before my precious drink arrived.

It was also the day before he left for the royal family.

Actually, it was more than enough time to leave, but I was able to get it because I begged Dave and left as late as possible.

‘To tell you the truth, I sacrificed some precious alcohol.’

Originally, I planned to share snake wine with my family, but it was possible under the pretext of taking care of Dave more.

After distributing my precious snake liquor to the entire family and the Sword Saint, there was only about half left.

“Now that I think about it, it might be a bit of a waste…”

In fact, I wrote in the letter that I would bring a little alcohol as a gift to Number Wan and the others who took care of my field and my wine diligently.

“No, you should be rewarded for your hard work.”

The fields they tended were quite good.

It was known by yield.

It was news that there was a large amount of recovery herb and wild grass.

‘Half of the wild grass was sent to the Mycenaean Empire.’

The beginning of the epidemic is the Mycenaean Empire.

“by the way···.”

There was a reason why I was rushing to the royal palace.

It was because something was happening that didn’t exist before the return.

From nob le mt l. co m

Natearden Empire.

It was because of the news that a rebellion was taking place there.

“Obviously this never happened.”

In my life before returning, there was no rebellion in the Natearden Empire.

But now it was happening.

It could be because I changed the future a lot.

However, the rebellion went too far.

If there was a possibility, it was one.

“Behind the rebellion of the Natearden Empire lies Veles.”

Aren’t you the devil of conspiracy?

Like a demon of conspiracy, he must have started a rebellion from behind.

And the reason for the rebellion unlike before the return was simple.

“Because you met me.”

It must have been one of the plans from the beginning.

It’s funny.

I needed to slay the great demon behind the rebellion.

To do that, an army was needed.

Of course, you can borrow the army of the Caldert family from Dave.

“But that is not enough.”

You have to ask the king of Roto Kingdom to get an army.

And we must stop the rebellion in the Natearden Empire right away.

“It won’t be easy.”

It’s easy enough, but my actions were like putting a fight on one of the two great empires.

Getting this allowed won’t be easy.

Still, I had to give it a try.

Besides, there was no way at all.

“Because there is an ordeal for the royal family.”

If you overcome the ordeal of the royal family, you will get a chance to give advice to the king.

Of course, the king did not unconditionally listen to this advice.

But it increases your chances of being heard.

The reason is that.

“It sounds like you are strong enough to overcome the royal family’s ordeal.”

I wouldn’t throw away such a talented person.

Besides, I was strong against trials.

Overcame four trials in Sanctuary.

He even defeated the Black Dragon.

That said, it was possible to overcome any ordeal.

“Well, trials by humans are easier than trials by gods.”

Armed with confidence, I finished preparing for the trip to the capital of Loto Kingdom.

***

On his way to the kingdom’s capital, Dave saw two familiar faces.

“uh? Dale and Jacob?”

It was the Iron Sword Knights who were in charge of escorting Dave.

However, the leader of the Iron Sword Knights was nowhere to be seen.

“Where is Captain Ort?”

Dale said with a smile.

“that is···.”

Director Ort said that he retired at the same time as his father’s retirement.

Dave asked him to stay, but Director Ort said he firmly refused.

And now, he said that Dale would take over as the leader of the Iron Sword Knights.

“Oh… I’ve come a long way. Dale.”

“no. To be honest, this guy is the most successful.”

Dale put Jacob at his side.

Jacob.

He was my vassal before the return.

Before the return, I supported myself with my head, but now I was supporting the Caldert family with my arms.

“This guy is the vice-captain of the Iron Sword Knights!”

Oh, I’ve come a long way.

A commoner who grew up with parents who were hunters, somehow caught the eye of the commander of the knights and got ahead.

“Congratulations, Jacob!”

“no! This is all thanks to Suhar.”

“What am I…”

“no! If Suhar hadn’t saved our village, I wouldn’t have had this chance!”

Unlike before, there was no appearance that seemed slightly clever, only an appearance that seemed honest.

‘Perhaps, that cleverness is what he learned to survive in the politics between his vassals.’

This must be the true face of Jacob.

“okay? Then, for the sake of me who gave you such an opportunity, take care of my older brother wholeheartedly.”

“all right!”

After a small talk, the carriage departed.

And after a few days, the carriage arrived safely at the kingdom’s capital.

Arriving at the capital of the kingdom, we headed straight to the royal palace.

Entry was easy thanks to the talk in advance.

“I will confer the title of count on Dave Caldert.”

Dave’s succession ceremony went smoothly.

And after the succession ceremony was over, I made a proposal to the king without hesitation.

“Dear King, the third son of the Caldert family, Suhar Caldert, has news to tell you.”

All the nobles present were taken aback.

Even Dave was taken aback.

Because I didn’t tell Dave hyung in advance.

The king of Loto Kingdom slightly frowned.

“Yes, Suhar Caldert, the third son of the Caldert family, what are you planning to convey to me?”

Fortunately, permission was granted.

‘Now everyone should know.’

What kind of evil is Veles?
