The Bastard’s Way of Life of the Returning Swordsman - The Bastard’s Way of Life of the Returning Swordsman chapter 102

Chapter 102

6th Candidate (2)

Theo told Cecilia and her friends to wait for a while, then moved with Navan.

“I didn’t know you were here already.”

At Theo’s words, Navan sneered cynically as he folded his arms.

“Have you forgotten?”

“Could it be possible?”

Theo flinched at the moment, but answered calmly without showing it as much as possible.

Saying that he was busy collecting the two artifacts and the sword orb would only irritate Naban.

“Looks like you don’t even know what to do after that. Well, it probably hasn’t been properly announced to the outside world yet.”

Navan seemed to have noticed it to some extent, but he didn’t bother to argue with it.

“The Bacchus family is broken. The head of the family and the main retainers were all brought to Winterer on charges of rebellion. Thanks to that, the other gasols have been whining at me for the past few days and it’s been bothering me.”

“You look happy for the expression ‘annoying’, right?”

Navan gently touched the corner of his mouth with his index finger and smiled.

“Are you tired?”

“A lot.”

“Well, I don’t really want to hide the fact that my hometown was bean flour.”

Navan continued with a light snort.

“Anyway, I’ve been held hostage for the time being, and most of the charges have been cleared. There is probably a high possibility that sooner or later, with only a few restrictions, he will be appointed as the new head of Bacchus.”

Navan’s eyes met Theo.

“Is everything going the way you wanted it?”

Theo laughed silently.

There was a slight gap between Navan’s forehead.

“No matter how much I showed myself turning to you guys in the middle, Ragnar’s suspicion of the rebellion was known to be blood-curdling. Not to mention the persistence of Heukseol in particular. And yet I was released too easily. As if someone had given instructions from above.”

“… … .”

“It looks like your hand is touching it?”

“If it seemed that way, you might be right.”

“You mean you won’t show your true feelings easily?”

Navan clicked his tongue as if he was full of energy and continued.

“Well, that’s fine. No matter what, I got rid of the damn father and old people thanks to him. What revenge could be as perfect as that of an illegitimate child holding on to the family? But.”

Theo somehow seemed to know what Navan was going to say behind his back.

“That kind of thing is short-lived, so there won’t be much need for it. promise? When are you going to keep it?”

Appointment.

He said that he would cure Navan’s incurable disease.

Theo’s eyes sank deeply.

A man named Navan Bacchus is a born rebel.

In order to win this person’s heart properly, from now on was the most important thing.

Poof!

Theo took something out of his pocket and threw it at Navan.

Navan got it by mistake.

It was a potion.

“This… … ?”

“It is a cure. I also wrote down how to make it, so check it out. However, the taste is not dirty, so be careful.”

“… … !”

Navan examined the paper surrounding the potion and opened his eyes wide.

There was a recipe for herbs that could be easily obtained in the general market.

‘Blood Test Agent’s special celery juice. If it’s that elixir that reinforces your energy, it’ll be enough to steadily alleviate Naban’s incurable disease.’

Naban’s disease had the characteristic of eating away a person’s energy little by little, and then eventually consuming their vitality.

So if you can improve your constitution while reinforcing your energy, you can overcome it.

Theo, no, Heukseol from the previous life knew this because there was a time gap between Navan’s death and the appearance of the blood test system.

Meanwhile,

‘I’m giving it away so easily… … ?’

Navan was in great psychological shock.

I was prepared to pamper myself by distributing medicine little by little in the name of curing the disease.

It was a nice kick.

“… … What do you want? I wouldn’t have been naive to think that someone as smart as you could buy my favor right away by saying something like this.”

“If you put it the other way around, don’t you mean that you wouldn’t be serious about it even if you were to pamper yourself with a cure?”

“… … .”

“Maybe it’s a cure for a stomach ache and Nabal, and you can just prepare to hit me in the back of the head.”

‘This guy knows me too well.’

It must have been the first one I saw at the top of Ceres.

‘Have you been watching me for a long time in the first place? Or did he see through who I am right then and there?’

Either way didn’t change the fact that Theo was a scary person.

“That’s why I won’t force myself to strangle Naban. I just thought it would be first to show that I am a vessel worth following.”

“A vessel worthy of my pouring… … Ira. How are you going to prove it?”

“Keep watching me.”

“… … .”

“And decide. Will you continue to follow me or not? Meanwhile, Naban.”

Theo’s eyes sank deeply.

“Rebuild Bacchus, who is crumbling, on the rock. You will have to make it into a place where I can harvest myself.”

“… … !”

thump thump!

Navan’s heart began to beat wildly.

It was a heart that had only cooled down like a dying person at some point.

He was running as if he was trying to stretch again, invigorating every part of his body.

It seemed like my mind was on fire.

‘You… … You want to prove it? my use. If you don’t, I’ll kick you out.’

The arrogance that came out of the confidence that he was confident enough.

Navan really liked Theo’s attitude.

“good. Hold Bacchus properly in this hand. So that the state and county can’t exhaust themselves without having it.”

“great.”

Theo and Navan laughed together.

The smiles of the two people in a master-servant relationship somehow resembled each other.

* * *

“Chief Senator, you have drunk too much. All you have to do today is… … !”

“what? Are you mocking me too?”

The head of the Senate, ‘Wonryong’ Wolfgang stopped tilting his glass with a slightly pale face and glared at the other elders who were trying to stop him.

“That, that, that can’t be! How dare I… … !”

“Then don’t be so crazy and go away!”

“Ah, I see… … .”

The elder took a step back with a shy face.

Wolfgang snorted lightly as he watched it.

“huh! This guy or that guy, everyone is thinking of biting my neck like a wildcat! But wait and see. How can I give up the scruff of my neck so easily?”

At some point, the people who were always crowded around Wolfgang were no longer visible.

It was because of the recent Troyban incident, suspicious eyes began to pour into Wolfgang, who had been close to Ed.

Although a separate summons has not yet been issued, nor has there been an announcement of Heukseol.

Considering that Wolfgang usually showed a confrontational angle with Black Dragon, it was a string that would not be strange at any time.

For Wolfgang, the situation was frustrating.

Wasn’t he the one who pulled out his older brother, Gwangryongje, with his own hands?

The very fact that he, who had lived only for the glory of Ragnar all his life, was being questioned like this was very unpleasant.

But,

No matter where she confided her true feelings, it was of no use if no one listened to her.

‘This is all because of Theo Ragnar, that vulgar bastard… … !’

Because of this, rather than resenting Ed, Wolfgang hated Theo for making the family riot like this.

That’s why I felt like I wanted to twist my hair right away.

He is already under the protection of Julius, the plum palace lord, and even now the black dragon.

The reality that I couldn’t put my hands on it was only more annoying.

‘this guy. Make any mistakes. That day will be your memorial day.’

It was at that time when Wolfgang’s eyes were filled with vicious intent to kill.

“That year… … ?”

At the entrance, something familiar caught my eye.

I put on heavy makeup and even dressed up in a dress that didn’t suit me.

A face that can’t hide its vulgarity.

‘It was better. I can relieve this annoyance even a little bit.’

A thought that came to my mind,

Wolfgang gave a cold sneer.

* * *

‘Even if it goes like this… … Will it work?’

In front of the banquet hall entrance.

Evelyn couldn’t leave for a long time in front of the full-length mirror prepared to trim her clothes before entering.

she was wearing a dress

A dress that shines jet-black as if it moved the night sky at dawn.

The neatly falling clothes were beautiful.

It was also a gift that Cecilia had given him, saying it would suit him very well.

But it was also something that Evelyn wasn’t used to.

She had been wearing only training clothes and armor all her life, so it was bound to be awkward.

Even more so, with all kinds of accessories and makeup, it was to the point where I wondered if I had done too much.

In particular, there was something else that caught her eye the most.

‘I had the courage to say that it wouldn’t be strange even if I revealed it, but… … .’

Evelynn touched the prosthetic hand that was exposed between the sleeves that reached only half of her forearm.

After several checks, it now feels like a real arm, but

Still, the touch of iron, which did not feel any warmth, was unfamiliar.

Moreover, it did not seem too suitable for such a fancy banquet hall.

‘Should I just go back?’

yes. what’s wrong with me

I’m trying to turn away from the thought that I have to train at the training ground,

-I’ve said it several times, but Evelyn needs to be aware of how beautiful she is. Do you know? Be confident. You have to be proud of yourself so others see you that way.

Suddenly, I remembered what Cecilia had said.

I was told to be proud of myself.

Those words somehow turned Evelyn’s steps back to normal.

‘yes. Since we’ve come this far, let’s go at least look at Theo and the captain’s faces.’

Tboob-

The moment I entered the entrance with a little light step,

“This is Captain Evelyn Nereville, the 5th captain of the Baek Gap Dragon Corps, and the senior prosecutor!”

As the name was called, many people’s eyes were all focused in this direction.

– Evelyn?

-Where’s the name you’ve heard a lot?

-Why are you here? The swordsman who taught Theo Ragnar.

-ah… … ! You said that you made the head of the Senate collide with Captain Baek Gap Yonggi in the past?

Even though she heard words she didn’t want to hear, Evelyn walked confidently.

“Oh, Evelyn! It is so beautiful.”

Cecilia took one step and grabbed Evelyn’s hands.

“You are wearing the dress I gave you. Did I say that clearly? It would suit Evelyn very well. After all, my eyes are not wrong.”

“thank you. Thanks to you, I have been able to try on these things.”

“Wear it often. Decorate as you please. This Cecilia will help whenever you want.”

Wellington and Erica siblings also helped each other.

“To be honest, I almost didn’t recognize who it was, Captain. Holcus, right?”

“Uh, huh?”

“Aren’t you doing it right?”

When Erica pokes the side of Holcus, who had been dazed, with her elbow, Holcus finally came to his senses and barely responded.

“No, that’s right! I think I should take a picture of this look now! I think the members will like it when they see it!”

“Your face is straightened, and your mouth is smiling.”

「I-like this… … ?”

Of course (?) Holcus was worried about Naban, who said that he gave it to Theo first, overtaking himself, who should have been the No. 1 prosecutor, but he forced a smile without showing it as much as possible.

twitchy-

The corners of his lips twitched.

“Shall I bring a camera?”

“Erika, Holcus. don’t do anything stupid In particular, Selford and Arin, don’t ever talk to them.”

Evelyn warned Erica and Holcus who were about to do something useless.

The playful Selford is sure to be made fun of, and Arin is… … It was a bit risky. No, it was very dangerous.

‘Oh, should I secretly take a picture? I think I can sell it to Arin at a very high price.’

Erica remembered that Arin’s hobby, with which she had recently become close, was ‘collecting Evelyn’s collection’, and seriously thought about it.

“By the way, where is Theo?”

“ah! Son… … !”

It was just then that Cecilia was about to reply.

“I guess I should say something to the butler. At such a precious social party, an asshole with arms blurs the water. Eh, tsk tsk!”

Evelyn turned her head the other way and stiffened her body.

I thought it was buried a long time ago.

The trauma that I thought I had forgotten quickly passed through my head.

– Hey, bitch. Do you really think your boss will protect you?

– Don’t be funny. After all, what people in the world believe in is not your words, but mine.

-yes. If you want to live like an asshole for the rest of your life, do it.

– After all, it seems that the shallow blood cannot be hidden.

Wolfgang’s cold laugh in the dark now overlapped Wolfgang’s face.

“If you are an idiot, you will be stuck in the house like an idiot. What is that arm on the fork?”

The moment Wolfgang laughed loudly and was about to reach for the prosthetic arm.

Suddenly, on the way, a hand grabbed Wolfgang’s wrist.

“It seems that the beatings were not enough. I must have warned you that if you mess with my baby again, I won’t let you go, don’t you remember? Did you have dementia?”

Wolfgang and Evelyn’s gaze hurriedly returned there.

Julius coldly blinked his eyes.

“Do you want to be beaten so badly, Senator?”
