The Blond Male Lead is Too Much - Chapter 121



Only Ran(o)vel dot com

“The former count managed the temple well, didn’t he? Didn’t he embezzle the budget or anything?”

Philip answered with silence. I knew it!

Local temples usually transferred a certain amount of money to the administrative fief when the central government allocated the budget.

Although it was intended to ease the burden on the estate, there were many cases of large-scale embezzlement from the estate.

The problem is.

‘If I get caught with that, I’ll have to spit it out several times over!’

I wanted to catch Gwen and her daughter again and hold them accountable, but I managed to keep my composure and confirm it calmly.

“How much did you eat? Is it very serious?”

“… … Depending on the judgment of the chief priest, the person in charge of temple management may be transferred to another territory.”

In short, it is a scale that requires some preparation.

If this is the case, there is only one way.

“Fill the hole quickly before the priest dispatched from the center arrives.”

Solving problems before they become problems.

“Let me give it a try.”

Philip seemed to have the same thought as he answered solemnly.

This is exactly what they mean when they say that when a senior leaves after doing a crappy job, the junior ends up suffering.

It’s already been over a month since Shailene went down to the Charophet estate.

Linus, who thought it was time to return, waited for her by secretly visiting the Duke of Diat’s residence.

But no matter how much time passed, Shailene wasn’t even a shadow.

Linus, whose patience had reached its limit, finally asked Dane outright.

“When will Charophée Youngae come?”

“Well? I don’t know.”

Dane replied nonchalantly with a fresh face. A vein appeared slightly on Linus’ temple.

“Aren’t you worried about your cousin? Young-ae told me that he’d be back in a month at the most.”

“Oh, but he sent us a letter a few days ago saying he would stay a little longer. He must have inherited the title and had some things to sort out, so it might be difficult for him to come right away.”

Linus, who only just found out about this, felt a little sad. He wished she had contacted him and told him.

“So, when are you coming?”

“There is no set time limit. It will come when the time comes.”

“An irresponsible guy. A guy who is only interested in swords and has no interest in anything else.”

“… …Why are you suddenly blaming me?”

Dane, who was suddenly cursed at by his friend, made a bewildered face, but soon chuckled.

“Are you missing Shailene by any chance?”

“… … !”

Linus flinched, his head reddening as he was hit hard.

Dane didn’t miss a beat and rushed to the gap revealed in his constant pursuit of perfection.

“Why do you want to see me? Do you like my sister? You used to gossip about me and say things like I don’t like her, so how can you have such bad intentions towards Shailene now—”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Linus admitted calmly, cutting Dane off.

“I harbored evil intentions toward Lady Charophée.”

“……ah?”

Dane looked dumbfounded for a moment at the unexpected reaction. He had expected him to try hard to deny it.

Linus, whose favorability rating was over 90, accepted my feelings and was confident.

“Then it’s not like it can’t be done.”

“… … That’s true, but you no longer seem like a friend to me, but rather a sinister guy who’s after my little brother?”

Dane’s hand, which was holding the training sword, tightened.

Linus felt the changing atmosphere and became slightly nervous.

“Put your swords up. Let’s have a go.”

“… … Or something like that.”

At the same time that the two friends were engaging in a hellish duel, someone approached Deborah, who was working at the top of the tower.

“Your Majesty, do you have something to say to me?”

“… … No, keep working.”

Chester, who had been loitering behind her, hesitated and denied it.

Deborah, who had already endured enough, could not bear it any longer and turned around to face him.

“If you don’t have anything to say, why do you keep hanging around me? Do you not like my job?”

“No, no. Don’t get me wrong. That’s not it… … .”

A flustered Chester stammered and waved his hand.

He let out an embarrassed cough and then mustered up his courage to open his mouth.

“I heard that Charophé Youngae hasn’t been seen outside lately… I’m just wondering how she’s doing.”

“Oh, you wanted to ask about my older sister?”

She stirred the magic potion and said obediently, not even dreaming that her boss had confessed to her cousin.

“He has just gone down to the estate to inherit the title. He said he will stay for a while until the matter is concluded and then return.”

“Young-ae got a title… …?”

“Yes, when I return, I will not be Lady Charophe, but Count Charophe. It may be a bit sudden, but since you were looking for a husband in the first place, I think it’s natural.”

“Husband material,” Chester muttered softly, a strange heat rising in his eyes.

His attitude changed dramatically and he asked Deborah.

“Is there a type of husband that Lady Charophe, no, Count Charophe, wants? Tell me everything you know, without mentioning looks, wealth, or education.”

“Huh? Oh, yeah… … .”

As Matapju, who was known for being quiet, began to speak, Deborah’s expression changed strangely.

She watched Chester closely throughout the conversation, thinking.

‘Wouldn’t Lord Matap be a bad choice for my sister’s husband?’

By the way, around the same time, Dane,

‘Would Linus be okay as Shailene’s husband?’

I was thinking about that.

It was a moment when the siblings’ picks were divided without them even knowing.

Meanwhile, Raviello was heading south on orders from the temple.

His heart started beating a little faster as he looked out of the carriage with a calm face. It was a symptom that appeared every time he came to the South.

As a child, he met his first love during a pilgrimage to the South.

Even though his name and face were vague, I remembered the conversations I had with him here and there.

‘I, I’m going to be a failure. And so I’m going to be abandoned by everyone…!’

‘No, oppa! That’s not true. Because I’m going to be with oppa!’

‘… … Don’t talk nonsense, you’ll be in danger if you stay with me.’

‘But I still want to be with you. After all, there’s no one in the world who likes me more than you. I’m the happiest when I’m with you!’

‘Okay, then. No matter what happens, we’ll be together―.’

At one point, Raviello endured a difficult time by chewing over and over the girl’s words.

The small hands and clear voice that had comforted me when I was afraid were vivid, but I couldn’t remember anything else.

‘Perhaps it’s an aftereffect of the experiment.’

A smile, a mixture of arsenic and self-mockery, appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Because of his first love that he would never forget, Raviello volunteered to take charge of any work that came up in the South.

But this time it was a little different.

The temple I was to visit to supervise was in the Charophet territory, so I set out.

‘I wonder what kind of expression Shailene will make when she sees me. Will her eyes widen like a rabbit’s?’

He let out a happy laugh as he imagined her bright eyes turning round.

After a while, he finally arrived at the temple and got out of the carriage.

Shailene, who had arrived at the temple in advance to greet the chief priest of the central branch, opened her eyes wide as expected.

“Raviello… … ?!”

“It’s been a while, Shailene.”

Raviello, who greeted her before the chief priest of the temple, approached her with a bright face.

Shailene still looked dazed. And it wasn’t just because of his surprise appearance―.

【Mission: Find Mom’s heirloom!

You know what? This temple has a secret.

as soon as……

Diane Charophé’s remains are hidden inside here!

From now on, as her only daughter, you will explore the temple to find relics!

It’s so easy, right? (ง*`˘´*)ว

Deadline: 5 days

Success Condition: Find the relic with the Raviello priest.

Reward for success: Achieve 100 favorability with Raviello

Penalty for failure: Raviello’s favorability rating drops to 0】

‘Crazy, the rewards and penalties are polar opposites… … .’

I was also a bit taken aback by the mission that arose as soon as I met Raviello.

A roulette wheel has been rolled out where the favorability rating can go from 60 to 100 or 0.

“Shailene, are you okay? Are you really surprised?”

Raviello tilted his head at her blank expression and tried to lightly grab her shoulder.

But a ghostly hand extended from behind Shailene and stopped him.
