The reason Lee Han introduced Pierre to high society was to catch the pseudo-religious people who were living among the nobility.
Fortunately, things worked out smoothly.
I guess… .
– Are you popular?
– … … .
– Loosen your expression, Inma. If your expression is that stiff, no one will be able to approach you. You're supposed to be the flower of society.
– I don't intend to be like that.
– Something like that? Our chicks work so hard to debut in society, and something like that? I think I'll tear their mouths apart!
– … I, I’m sorry about that.
Although he was able to gain cooperation easily and enter the social world, within four days, Lee Han realized the problem.
– You guys hid on purpose… .
No matter how much I look for it, I can't find it.
'Isn't it too early to make that judgment after only four days?' you might say, but for Lee Han, it was different.
Even just by walking down the street, he has a sense that allows him to perceive everything within a 500 meter radius.
If you put your mind to it, you could detect sounds from more than 3km away, but rather than forcibly widening the range of sounds, you could detect sounds more thoroughly just by narrowing the range of sounds.
That's why, even though it was only four days, Lee Han was able to complete the observation and search of a hundred people in one go, and that's why he was confident.
…these guys have already disappeared.
– That too used a rather special technique.
Not only did they hide the presence, but even the smell and energy were completely erased, so there is no trace of it at all.
It seemed like it was probably done with some sort of magical or shamanic help, but it was so damn thorough.
but….
– It doesn't seem to be just magic and sorcery?
Even though they hid it thoroughly, Lee Han felt something strange about the fact that nothing was discovered to this extent, and Lee Han wondered if these guys might be… .
– … Are you using [the Holy Law] too?
It was just a hypothesis that suddenly occurred to him, but Lee Han thought that it might be right.
The mystery of the priests, different from magic and sorcery.
If one had such powers, as well as the help of magic and sorcery, it would not have been difficult for one to hide oneself so thoroughly.
But it's strange.
In the temple that governs the law, the impudent ones who cooperated with the cult have long since become fuses.
He saw it burning brightly with his own eyes, which meant that the temple was no longer in cooperation with the wicked.
But how did he get help from the law?
Lee Han thought hard with his limited brain, and at one moment, something struck him.
By the way, it’s not that he was smart and flashy… .
– Come to think of it, there were people who used the holy law even though they weren't priests?
I remember that there was a great noble family that was one with the Paladins, or more precisely, the temple.
The name is definitely….
– Was it Lohengrin?
The sacred family of Lohengrin.
Lee Han was reminded of the only family that had not been the fuse in the previous day's incident, and for some reason…
-Look at this…?
The moment I said that name, my intuition seemed to speak to me.
It seems like that direction is correct.
“From now on, I made him use the surname Lohengrin. If he keeps using the surname as he pleases, I’ll get a reaction.”
"…her."
Roen had heard the whole story and nodded, saying that it was a reasonable guess.
It was certainly a story with some possibility.
“…There are a lot of loopholes.”
Roen brought up the negative opinion.
“Impersonating a noble is a serious crime. And if your intuition is wrong, it can easily become an even more serious crime. No matter how many pillars are crumbling, the great nobles are strong. Their pillars cannot be destroyed by destroying one or two.”
He too could easily be harmed.
When I expressed such a concerned opinion, he said… .
“It doesn’t matter to me since he’ll be the one doing the dirty work. If something goes wrong, he’ll take the blame for it.”
“…….”
"why?"
"…no."
He confidently stated the solution, and Roen was left speechless.
‘What happened to that villainess…?’
It was ironic to Roen that the most cunning woman he knew was always ready to be dumped.
It must have been a complex emotion that was difficult to define, and for the first time, Roen, who had been looking at Pierre with hostility from the beginning to the end, ended up looking at her with sympathy.
Because it was a trivial situation that even made me forget my grudge.

– I'll try to dig up Lohengrin too, so I hope you don't push yourself too hard.
under….
“That black guy, despite his appearance, is quite loyal.”
He may seem cold on the outside, but once you get to know him, he'll help you to the end.
Why isn't it touching to find out that a cat you thought was so arrogant is actually a dog?
I think that's what Lee Han is feeling right now.
“Will this give the rumor some momentum?”
Since the black one decided to help, the rumor about Lohengrin's impersonation will probably spread throughout the capital in no time.
I think in just a few days, there will be no one who doesn't know it.
If that happens.
'I guess I'll get a kiss.'
Lee Han was in the mood to go fishing.
Why did you transform into, or rather, reverse, this not-so-funny [Santa Lee Han]?
The idea is to fish without revealing yourself as much as possible.
Since he has become famous and started to stand out without knowing it, he is trying to kill his presence and quietly shake up the situation in this way.
If you've ever been fishing, you know that catching so-called big fish takes time, passion, caution, and a competitive spirit.
In that sense, Lee Han was thinking of catching the big fish called the great noble by pouring in these four elements.
… Hmm? What if it doesn’t matter and his prediction is wrong?
'Will Red go to jail or the guillotine?'
Don't worry, we've got a scarecrow ready to throw you a dummy.
Lee Han nodded happily and leisurely left the place, even though he saw Pierre shaking his hands convulsively, who was once again the center of the party.
… No, I was trying to go out.
“Excuse me, can you tell me the name of the ball?”
“…?”
“Hey, this! Hey, if it’s okay, come back later. I’ll be waiting….”
“??”
Lee Han blinked as he watched the woman suddenly leave him a note.
'…what?'
After glancing at the contents of the note, he saw that it contained the name and room number of a high-class inn on an upscale street. Looking at it, a small twitch occurred in the corner of Lee Han's eyes.
“Is that what this means?”
Lee Han was not an idiot without any clue, and he couldn't hide his excitement at knowing what this note meant.
It was my first time receiving something like this from a woman, so it was definitely a refreshing experience.
But… .
“I, I….”
"yes?"
“Hey, what’s your name?”
“???”
The same situation happened about five more times after that, and Lee Han realized something new.
‘The appearance is plausible… .’
* * *
To cut to the chase, the number of notes Lee Han received was 15, and he quickly burned all of them like kindling.
It wasn't that I burned it because I felt bad, it was just… .
“You shouldn’t fool around with the minds of young people.”
This appearance itself is a lie, so how can it be of use to deceive the hearts of women?
Lee Han had no intention of finding fault with the fact that he had given her this just by looking at her appearance.
As for the impulse of youth, everyone has had their fair share of accidents when they were young, and if Lee Han hadn't had any unique characteristics that set him apart from others, he might have fallen for those temptations.
– Haha, isn't that a waste? If you get Ambrosia's help, you could probably fulfill that desire, even if it's just for one day.
“Hey, get out of my head, get out.”
Lee Han suddenly waved his hand at the lecherous devil who seemed to be whispering in his ear.
It couldn't have been anything other than the sweet whispers of a devil disguised as a princess, but Lee Han had no intention of flirting with a woman he had never seen before, and perhaps due to the influence of the curse, his desires were rather faint.
Well, if the curse is completely lifted, then that might be another story, but if not, then I guess…
'Swoop, it's a curse.'
The first thing that came to mind was the curse that was on my body.
A curse of impotence imprinted on cells based on sorcery.
Unless it was a perfectly made [Ambrosia], his curse would continue to torment him like a curse, but for now, Lee Han was waiting, believing in Isis.
She will create the perfect ambrosia for you.
'I'm not the type of person who breaks promises.'
… Well, even if he doesn’t break his promise, there’s a possibility that he’ll continue to make unreasonable demands on him.
“I think you can solve it by yourself if you do it right.”
Overcoming the Curse. Lee Han, who has shown rapid growth over the past year, felt that the curse was somehow weakening as he grew.
That is, if my body were to gain the strength to overcome even the curse that was like a brand, then maybe… .
'I don't know anymore.'
It may be possible to overcome it without relying on medication.
It may not be a positive circuit that seems to be a mental victory, but it is better to have a possibility than not have one.
Lee Han looked forward to the future.
And for this positive future too.
Tick!
“-They were less patient than I thought. I thought it would take a few more days.”
Shouldn't we thoroughly eradicate these guys?
Lee Han saw something like a silver thread wrap around his neck, but it broke off, and he grabbed the thread that was being retrieved, having failed in his purpose.
Kkwaduk!
─He gave it a strong push.
“!!!?”
"what…!!"
“It’s a three hundred year old Arachne spider web! Can you catch it with your bare hands!?”
The next moment, a group of people following along with the thread screamed with expressions of shock, but Lee Han just snorted and clicked his tongue.
“If it’s been aged for three hundred years, it’s already past its expiration date.”
It was just a joke to make fun of ignorant people who didn't even know basic common sense.
…lightly throwing the hatchet.
Phew!
