Returned Lord Wants To Rest - Returned Lord Wants To Rest chapter 84
Episode 84.
After I destroyed the branch of the North Merchant Merchant, the evil deeds of the North Merchant Merchant became known to the royal family of the Holy Empire of Epia.
As a result, the North Merchant Merchant was currently being oppressed as a criminal organization.
He met Ephinia at the imperial family and made a promise to the future.
“I think I’ll go back to the Mycenae Empire once I’m done with the Holy Empire.”
The Mycenae Empire was not going to go there.
There is also a branch there, but they said they had already started oppression because Ephinia was there.
Still, he promised to find it again.
‘It’s nothing to do, but the Mycenae Empire has many places that can be called tourist destinations.’
And now.
“…”
Arrived at Forast, the largest tourist destination of the Epia Holy Empire.
After arriving, I couldn’t say anything about the scenery I saw.
Haru, who was next to him, also stared blankly at the scenery.
“It’s definitely amazing…”
I’ve been to a few places where the water is clear and the air is good.
However, the harmony here, in Forast, was different.
A large amount of stone statues were creating a sense of mystery with nature.
“It’s good that you came.”
In fact, I had some regrets until I saw this scenery.
This is because the prices of Forast were exorbitant.
However, those regrets disappeared when he saw the policeman.
“By the way, even in such a beautiful space…”
A branch of the organization was hiding.
What the hell is the scale of the organization hiding all over the continent?
To be honest, I thought that this was enough to be able to work in the sunny side rather than the negative side.
“Well, even if the scale of the organization is large, the purpose of that organization is impure.”
It must be working in the dark.
“Anyway, Haru, you have to follow me around here.”
‘Kong!’ Haru barked.
You seem to understand me well.
It was dangerous to leave Har here alone.
It’s not that strong monsters are lined up, but many people are moving around to protect this scenery.
In short, it means that monsters can’t even approach this area.
It was said that if Haru went alone, he could be subjugated.
“If you understand me properly…”

Now is the time to tour.
***
There was a commotion in Caldert’s territory.
This is because the Duke of Sarkid came along with Keron Sarkid, the swordsman of Roto Kingdom.
Moreover, the Sarkid Lady was also with him.
There was no reason for them to visit the Caldert family together, so Count Caldert couldn’t help but be surprised.
“Sword Master, why did you suddenly come here?”
“How many times am I talking? Just call me brother.”
At those words, Count Caldert smiled as if he was troubled.
Since the duke was in the same position, it was not easy to talk to his father, the swordsman.
“I am okay.”
At Duke Sarkid’s words, Count Caldert trimmed his neck and said,
“Keuheum, brother, why did you come here?”
“That’s what you mean…”
The Sword Master looked at the Duke of Sarkid as if he was displeased.
Count Caldert realized only the day before yesterday.
The fact that he had business with the Duke of Sarkid, not the sword castle.
“I would like to proceed with the engagement.”
“If it’s an engagement…”
Count Caldert glanced at Lady Sarkid.
A girl who looks around 10 years old no matter how many times she hits her.
“Anyway… Dave’s age…”
“No, I mean Suhar.”
“yes?”
Count Caldert swallowed at the name of the youngest child who suddenly jumped out.
“I came here because I want to get Suhar Caldert and my daughter Ellis engaged.”
It was not an embarrassing thing for Count Caldert.
His son, Dave, inherits the earldom.
To put it bluntly, Suhar and Ellis were not in the same class.
‘Ah, come to think of it, the Duke of Sarkid only had one daughter.’
That is, the husband would be comfortable with a son-in-law if possible.
Count Caldert thought about why it was Suhar.
‘Yeah, though I’m close with the Sword Saint-sama.’
It was just an acquaintance at the academy.
Still, it was strange to proceed with the engagement like this.
Besides, the swordsman didn’t seem happy about this engagement.
If so, there was only one choice for Count Caldert.
“I think Suhar’s thoughts are important.”
Only then did the swordsman smile.
Realizing that his choice was correct, Count Caldert let out a sigh of relief.
“I can’t hand over my precious granddaughter to a bastard like that.”
“father!”
Duke Sarkid suddenly shouted.
The swordsman was taken aback by such a sight.
Until recently, he was the Duke of Sarkid, who had not responded when he called Suhar Nompaeng.
And he immediately realized his mistake.
“Ah, I’ve excused myself, Count Caldert.”
It was rude for even a swordsman to curse at himself in front of his parents.
Count Caldert humbly accepted the Sword Master’s quick apology.
“By the way, my son is Nompang. Did he make a mistake when he learned from Sword Saint-nim… Keron-hyung?”
“No, he was very talented. It is not such a problem.”
“then···.”
“They’ve completely forgotten what they promised before.”
At the word promise, Count Caldert’s expression hardened.
If it was a promise that made the Sword Saint so angry, I couldn’t imagine what it would be like.
“Ancient Snake Liquor.”
In a short moment, everyone in the office stiffened.
Ancient Snake Liquor.
It was a drink that was not easily available.
It was such a drink that they would not sell it even if they paid billions of dollars.
“My son made a big mistake. But how will Suhar get the Ancient Snake’s liquor…”
Count Caldert was unaware that Suhar had already caught the Ancient Snake and was making wine with it.
Speaking of the culprit, it was because Dave forgot to mention it.
“huh? I guess you didn’t know Your son has already caught the Ancient Snake and has been dipping it.”
“yes?”
“I tasted it once before and it tasted great.”
Count Caldert felt distraught.
If there is such a precious thing, wouldn’t it be possible to take care of the parents first?
“hahahaha… is that so?”
“I thought it would be over by now, but I couldn’t help but be angry when you didn’t bring the drink.”
Duke Sarkid, who grasped the mysterious atmosphere, changed the subject.
“Can’t you do something about the engagement?”
“Ah… as I just said, I think Suhar’s decision is important.”
The Sword Saint next to him started giggling and laughing.
“Son, your tricks are over now.”
Count Caldert expressed his doubts to the Sword Saint.
“What is it?”
“Because Suhar had already refused once, the handsome Duke Sarkid devised a sinister plan to turn it into a family promise.”
“ah···.”
If it was a promise between the families, an embarrassing situation could unfold that Suhar could not continue to refuse.
After confirming that Duke Sarkid’s face was red, Count Caldert realized that the Sword Saint’s words were true.
“If Suhar refused, there is nothing I can do about it.”
In this way, Duke Sarkid’s strategy failed once again.
However, with this incident, Count Caldert had one regretful thing about Suhar.
‘Ancient Snake Liquor… I can drink it well…’
***
Suddenly, the day was over.
“It’s a bit unfortunate.”
Time passed very quickly just by looking at it.
It was to the point that I wanted to stay like this for the rest of my life.
Haru seemed to be the same.
“I have to go back to the inn.”
It was an overpriced inn, but it was a place where you could live well enough.
The only downside was that Har had to be put to sleep in a stable.
“Har, I warn you, never eat other horses!”
Haru nodded.
In the first place, the inn refused to accept me with Har.
However, there were no vacancies at other inns, so I set a condition.
I will sleep in the inn, and Haru will sleep in the stable.
And if Har lives in the stable and hurts the horse, he will buy the horse at double the price.
“Anyway… I’m worried.”
He’s a good listener, but he eats too much.
He seemed to be eating more than his size, probably because he had a lot of appetite.
I guess the secret to that gluttony must be contained in the blade-like horns on his head.
“First of all, we’ll have to deal with the hidden branch here.”
I am a busy person.
They are slowly destroying the branch, but it will be a big deal if they notice and hide.
Fortunately, they were only fortunate in the form of point organization.
Even among the members of the organization, the existence of other branches was not known in detail, so the work of the North Merchants Company would not have been known to this branch.
“How many branches can you handle…”
The key was to deal with it quickly before they noticed.
***
The branch in Forast was taken care of lightly.
There was no ability that felt particularly picky.
After processing the branch, I entrusted the management of this place to the lord who governs Forast.
“I’m glad it ended quickly.”
I went straight to the inn.
Before going to sleep at the inn, we stopped at the stable.
“Harya, are you calm?”
Haru was asleep with his body wrapped around him.
The horses around were also without problems.
“I’m glad.”
He has a lot of appetite, but he endured it well.

Now that I think about it, it might just be that I didn’t eat it because it tasted like a seasoning with a strong fragrance.
“I should go to sleep now too.”
I went to the inn and went to sleep.
***
Bang.
Someone knocked hard on the door of the room.
I tossed and turned up at the sound.
“Please come out quickly!”
An urgent-looking voice.
At first, it was mixed with annoyance.
I frowned and opened the door.
When I opened the door, it was the owner of the inn I saw yesterday.
“How are you rude this morning!”
To be honest, I was a little annoyed, so my voice naturally sharpened.
“Isn’t that different from what you said yesterday!”
“yes? What about what you said yesterday?”
He clearly said he would put Haar to sleep in the stable.
“If I raised a wolf, I would put it in a stable.”
“That’s not it, the wolf won’t hurt the horse!”
What is this?
Could it be that Harr hurt the horse?
I couldn’t believe it.
“It can’t be.”
Apparently, the horses were fine until last night.
“Then let’s see for ourselves.”
A few people gathered in the stable where the innkeeper followed.
The innkeeper pointed to the fallen horse.
“Can’t you see the scar on that horse!”
There was a wound on the horse’s side.
But something was strange.
From nob le mt l. co m
No matter how you think about it, it was more of a knife wound than a wolf wound.
‘Ah… Haru’s horn was a blade.’
Could it be Haru’s wound?
But it was still strange.
The horse has a wound on its side, but it is alive.
If Har really attacked, wouldn’t it be normal for the horse to be dead?
Or in Har’s stomach.
“No matter how you look at it, that only looks like a knife wound?”
“The wolf you brought has horns on its head! Besides, not one or two.”
The innkeeper pointed to several horses.
The common denominator among the horses pointed out by the innkeeper was that they had a wound on their side.
said the innkeeper, arms folded and arrogant.
“Please make amends for what you said yesterday.”
compensation?
‘Come to think of it, Haru said that if he kills a horse, he buys it at twice the price.’
Suspiciousness reached its peak.
“Harya, did you hurt those horses?”
Har shook his head.
This made it clear.
This was clearly the innkeeper’s trick to make money.
‘It’s fun.’
I thought about how to get out of this situation.
