The Young Lord Who Was Disengaged Focuses on His Territory - The Young Lord Who Was Disengaged Focuses on His Territory chapter 65

65 – Episode 65 The arrow that lost its target

South Castle conference room.

I gathered all my subordinates there.

From Grandfather Campbell,

All the hunters and mercenaries have gathered.

The evidence has disappeared,

The heartache did not go away.

The person suspected of being behind this is:

This is ‘Paonia’, Brilda’s original home.

“How did the investigation of Grandfather Paonia go?”

“The basic investigation is over. However, it is a family that was quite involved in the past.”

“Once upon a time?”

“Before their fall, they played a part in the imperial intelligence department.”

Imperial Intelligence Department.

A place where all information about the empire is collected.

If they were active in the ‘Intelligence Department’, they would be able to avoid Hunter’s pursuit.

But,

I was concerned about the word ’empire’ in front.

“Could it be that the empire was involved?”

Grandpa shook his head.

“I don’t think so. “The Paonia family abused information and suffered a blow that was close to extinction because of it.”

The empire did not leave Paonia alone.

At that time, the head of the Paonia family was killed and all property was confiscated.

He became a fallen noble and wandered around the continent, eventually arriving at Monster Island.

‘They say the link between Paonia and the empire has been severed…’

“What is the current situation in Paonia?”

“It’s just that kind of family. “The momentum has recovered a bit, but it’s still not noticeable.”

This is as strange as it is.

Could such a family build a large-scale underground passage under the plain?

Is it possible to run an organization that spreads out like a dot?

How did they bribe the Fianna family?

‘Could it be that there is someone else behind the Paonia family?’

“Are there any other families or forces related to Paonia?”

“It is difficult to understand. To be honest, I can’t even find a connection between this incident and Paonia.”

If the situation is

We need to move more seriously.

“I will go to Paonia.”

.

.

Vampire spirit.

Paonia Mansion.

I met the head of the Paonia family in the reception room on the first floor.

The current head of Paonia.

Brown Paonia.

Privately, he is Brilda’s father.

That’s why it has a strange relationship with me.

In a way, he could be my grandfather.

Of course, that doesn’t bother me.

“Nice to meet you.”

From Noble mtl dot com

Brown gently accepted the informal greeting.

“Nice to meet you.”

Silence fell.

Even with the short greeting and short silence,

There was no change in Brown’s expression.

I was caught off guard,

I was good at reading people’s facial expressions.

As expected, he was a formidable opponent.

‘Shall we go a little harder?’

“By the way. “The house is quite shabby.”

Nobility is born with two things.

One is of noble blood.

The other is the pride of nobility.

Nobles were the highest class in this world, and because of that, they had strong pride.

“I’m sorry for being so shabby.”

I took it easy this time too.

There was no trace of anger or shame on his face.

After that, we talked about various things,

Brown accepted everything.

‘He is a person with a deep heart. ‘I can’t read anything.’

So, I know one thing for sure.

The fact that brown is not ordinary.

There is no way a person of this caliber would not do anything.

“A long time ago, the Paonia family worked for the Imperial Intelligence Department, right?”

“It was a long time ago. “It happened during my grandfather’s time.”

“But aren’t we still related by blood? “If you know the raider at the top, please tell us the story.”

“Heh heh…”

Brown smiled brightly and raised his teacup.

“You touched the Frontier, so don’t even think about sleeping.”

With those words, he stood up.

I tried various provocations, but

I couldn’t bring him down.

An old nobleman who has lived for 60 years.

My skills were not enough to stimulate him.

‘Still, I knew it wasn’t normal, so I guess there’s no harvest.’

“Wake up already?”

“This is not a room where you can stay for a long time. Next time, please provide hospitality befitting a guest.”

Brown also got up from his seat to see him off.

When the conversation ends like that,

Knock. Knock.

Someone knocked on the reception room door.

“Madam, Master Gibson has arrived.”

Gibson?

Gibson could not even attend Brilda’s funeral.

The distance between the Gray Magic Tower and the South Castle was far,

What’s more, because I was in training at the time, I couldn’t contact them quickly.

“Go ahead and pick up your Gibson. “Just then, Lord Su is also here.”

The door opens,

Gibson came in.

And on his left and right.

Knight Pauron,

There was a maid, Anna.

“Anna…”

Jeobbuk. Jerk.

Jeobbuk. Jerk.

I walked straight in front of Anna.

She is alive, not dead.

He is someone who knows the secret of Brilda’s death.

If only Anna would open her mouth,

I think we can learn a lot.

Numerous questions came to mind.

I chose one of them.

“Anna, who are you?”

“I am a maid.”

“Isn’t that what you’re asking? What is your true identity? Was it you who cleaned up Brilda’s room? Or did you help with the assassination? Or else… You were like that!!”

Even though she was yelling, Anna’s expression was calm.

The same goes for Brown and Anna.

The people in this damn family have no expressions.

You hide your emotions very well.

“Why can’t we just say it!!”

Gibson moves sideways,

It blocked the space between me and Anna.

“Brother, don’t scold my person.”

Brother?

He is the younger brother who follows me like a puppy.

It was a Gibson that clung to me even when I pushed it away.

But,

Today, from the title to the way you speak.

It all felt distant.

“It’s you?”

“Lord Pauron and Anna are the people who took care of their mother even before they were married. “He decided to help me in the future.”

“Surely, what did you hear from them? Don’t trust them. “They killed Brilda…”

“Brother! I know everything. I also know that my brother and mother have been fighting over the issue of succession. But… I just turned away. And this is the result.”

It cannot continue like this.

This needs to be explained somehow.

If anything goes wrong here, the relationship with Gibson…

When you are wondering what to say,

Brown spoke first.

“Young Lord was suspicious of our Paonia family. “But.”

I turned my body halfway and looked at Brown.

“When things are complicated and you don’t understand, you only need to look at one thing.”

“What do you see?”

“Who benefited from that incident?”

For a moment, my heart sank.

Depending on the situation, simple logic is sometimes the most persuasive.

Especially when everything is shrouded in fog like now.

“Who will benefit the most from this? In my opinion, it’s Little Lord Elwynn. “It’s you.”

Brown continued in a dry tone.

“My daughter died, and the competition for successor is over. With your victory.”

“With the dissolution of the Silnia merchants, the Irish merchants took over the commercial power.”

“Moreover, I heard that they even changed Frontier’s bureaucracy.”

I wonder if he thought this far.

Was what they gave a poisonous apple?

Clearly, Brilda’s death and the disbandment of Silnia’s upper class were of great benefit to me.

‘If Paonia is behind it, if they are drawing the big picture.’

What is important is not the top of Brilda or Silnia.

The organs they need are…

I slowly looked away.

Gibson was seen biting his lips tightly.

‘Was it Gibson?’

Send Brilda to the Frontier,

Trying to make that child her successor.

Was this all a plan?

“How on earth are you guys looking?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Whatever you are thinking, be sure to remember it.”

“What did you say earlier…”

“Every hunter in Ireland will be watching you.”

My uncle manages the largest hunter organization.

His maternal grandfather is in charge of training new hunters on a large scale.

Many of the Irish Hunters are directly or indirectly under my influence.

“You touched the frontier.”

Frontier is the second faction of Monster Island.

The second strongest after the Vampire Dukes.

“Don’t try to do something. Live like a rat is dead. “The moment you come into the world, Paonia’s history will repeat itself.”

History of Paonia.

An incident in which the head of the family dies and all the family property is taken away.

Her shameful history must be engraved in her bones.

Pap patter.

Brown clenched and unclenched his fists,

There was an annoying sound.

The provocation that had been so unsuccessful succeeded for the first time.

At least that action wasn’t intentional.

Despite the difficult and successful provocation,

Brown calmed down quickly.

He opened his mouth with a calm expression.

“If you have nothing more to say, please leave. Today, we decided to honor her daughter with Gibson.”

Her maid Anna opened the door to the reception room.

Obvious order to congratulate guests.

I took one look at Brown and Gibson,

I went out the door.

Walking down the hallway to the outside.

Ana guided.

“Anna.”

She didn’t answer.

“Did you kill the person you served with your own hands?”

“No, the person who was loyal from the beginning was Brown, not Brilda?”

Jeobbuk. I…Buck

Ana stopped walking.

Then he opened the door to the mansion.

“Please return carefully. “Mr. Elwin.”
