Chapter 625
Aris smiled brightly and shook the papers in her hand, as if she were serious about asking her to choose a mission.
“eww… .”
Raon pressed his lips down as he looked at the fluttering papers.
’embarrassing… .’
I feel ashamed for the first time since I played a baby to Sylvia. her face is hot When she looked in the mirror, it was clear that her cheeks were flushed.
– Wow… .
Lars shook his head as if it were absurd.
-The original king has met a lot of idiots, but this is the first time I’ve seen such idiots. It’s a bunch of accidents in a different meaning from the ears.
‘yes.’
He nodded briefly. Usually, idiots go wild with only the nobility of blood, but Aris has blood and ability.
Even in Sieghart, the sixth emperor, the only person who could handle her was Glenn.
“If I can’t choose, will my aunt choose?”
I went through the papers Aris was holding and then lifted one up.
“This is good. I heard that the North and South Korean beggars came to patrol our territory, the Farin River. Go George and come. It’s a rehearsal for catching the father.”
She laughed and said to send a warning to the North and South Leaders and the King.
“This is fine too. Monsters are gathering in Tonon Plain to the northwest. Because the Gwangpungdae had a group training. It wouldn’t hurt to engage in a large-scale war. and… .”
In addition to that, Aris told me the contents of the documents one by one and picked out decent missions.
“uh… .”
“What, what?”
“Is this right?”
The executives looked at Aris and Raon alternately with blank eyes.
“If you don’t want to be bitten by a mad dog, just stay still.”
Balder raised his fist at the officers as if telling them to shut up. He didn’t seem to want to increase the number of victims other than himself.
“Who is the mad dog!”
Aris slapped Balder’s waist with her forehead crumpled.
“Suck!”
Balder slumped to the floor, then jumped up and assumed a muscular posture. It seems that it doesn’t hurt thanks to the muscles, but it didn’t seem to be any more.
“Okay… .”
Raon touched his throbbing temple with his fingers. He was getting more and more embarrassed that his hands were shaking.
“Hey, Aris.”
Just as I was about to tell Aris to stop, Denier stood up.
“sister.”
Denier shook his head as he approached Aris.
“Calm down. This doesn’t help Raon.”
“Are you trying to interfere too?”
“That’s not it. As my sister said, it’s good to be considerate of the first lord, and it’s understandable enough to let me choose the mission first. but… .”
He turned around and lowered his eyebrows.
“That has to be decided by Raon. If my sister feeds them all and picks them out, it won’t be of any help to that child’s growth. Wouldn’t it be possible for your sister to be present at every round table meeting?”
No matter what the reputation of Denier was, what he said now was a theory that everyone here had no choice but to admit.
However, Aris was a free person who hated right theory.
“Hmm.”
Aris slowly turned her gaze and looked at Denier. The eyes of the two are similar, but they are also not alike.
“You speak well.”
She tucked her chin in and curled up her lips.
“You talk well, so you must want to eat a lot.”
“Who, sister?”
Denier blinked his eyes, not understanding what he meant.
“What you said is not wrong. That’s right. just because you say that Why do you think you’re pretending?”
Aris turned her shoulders. It looked like it would blow her fist.
Raon let out a fuss. It would have been nice if he had listened to Denier and backed off, but as expected, Aris seemed to be trying to make her plate bigger.
“after… .”
Denier stepped back as if he had no choice but to take a defensive posture. Firm energy burned beneath his feet, as if a stone wall soared.
Koo-goo-goo-goo!
Aris threw the papers behind her and stood up. A ferocious spirit blazed through her whole body, resembling a battle.
‘In the end, this is the only thing.’
Raon sighed and looked at Aris. He opened his mouth, tightening his neck.
“aunt.”
As soon as she said aunt, the eerie air that had bloomed over Aris’ shoulder disappeared as if it had been washed away.
“huh. My nephew!”
Aris smiled as if she hadn’t gotten angry.
“What’s happen?”
Unlike when pressuring Denier, she waved her hand with a warm voice.
“Wow, look at the change in voice. He did it himself.”
“shut up!”
Balder grumbled at Aris and kicked him in the shin.
“Heuk!”
He grabbed his shin and rolled across the floor. The shin doesn’t seem to be protected by the muscles either.
“I also think Hyunmu Jeonju-nim is right.”
Raon looked at Balder, who was rolling around, then raised his gaze to Aris.
“I am grateful that my aunt takes care of me because I am a new recruit and there is no seniority, but you do not have to treat me this special. Like other executives, I will receive my mission through a legitimate method.”
I’m sorry for Aris, who takes care of me, but this is the right way to go out here.
“okay? If it’s you, then what can you do?”
Aris shook her hands and sat back in Balder’s seat. He wasn’t upset at all, but rather seemed to like it.
‘As expected.’
I thought it was strange that Aris was more reckless than her original personality, but it seems that she wanted to be stopped.
‘It must be because of me.’
It was clear that she wanted to make the executives perceive me as a good figure by putting the point of stopping Aris Sieghard and accepting the mission on her own.
In other words, the goal was to raise my reputation.
“thanks. Raon.”
Denier sat down with a small nod as if thanking him for recognizing his intentions.
“Great… .”
Balder touched his shin, got up and stood behind Aris again.
“I don’t know anything else, but I like that guy’s personality. You are innocent.”
He gave a thumbs up saying he liked it, as if he had forgotten that he had said it was rude ten minutes ago.
His personality was so simple that it was rather difficult to get a sense of it.
“Then move on.”
Aris smiled contentedly and handed the blown papers to Chad.
“Go, thank you.”
Chadden’s eyes turned this way as she received the papers with trembling hands. The way she clenched her fists seemed to be pledging something.
“Then let’s start assigning assignments again.”
Chad looked at Aris and organized the papers.
Balder was still standing behind Aris. He could have taken someone else’s place, but he was a very peculiar person when you saw him standing.
“Aris-sama explained the mission for me, so I don’t think it’s necessary to speak at length. Please raise your hand if you are an officer who wants to take on the mission of driving out the North and South Alliance crossing the Parin River.”
“… … .”
quiet. no, it’s cool All the executives were looking at Aris and me.
Raon closed his eyes and lowered his head. He showed everyone that he had no interest in the task.
“Then we take it.”
Squad master Latein, who was sitting on the right, raised his hand. Since no one objected, the Jeongeomdae took over the mission.
“The next mission is to subdue the monsters gathering in Tonon Plain. When you see both large and small monsters gathering, it seems that a captain-level monster was born. Officers who wish to take on this duty, please raise your hand.”
“… … .”
This time, no one raised their hand. I immediately closed my eyes.
“We will do the subjugation mission.”
Trevin raised his hand. Since there was no one to oppose this time, the iron squadron was entrusted with the subjugation mission.
“It’s nice that today’s roundtable went fast. Then we will continue.”
Chad read the papers he had in turn, and the relaxed officers took off the assignments one by one.
“Ah, here it is.”
Chad raised the papers with a deep well in his mouth.
“This is a mission about Dogeomjon’s tomb that I explained when I first told you about the continental situation.”
He patted the paper and smacked his lips.
“We are Sieghart. No martial arts in the world can reach our swords, but Baeksau, who currently knows the location of Swordsman’s tomb, is not far from Sieghart’s realm.”
“Is it really?”
“yes. It’s not inside our territory, but it’s close by. If a tomb is found near Sieghart, there could be a big problem, so we need to take action in advance.”
Chad nodded, saying he needed someone to retrieve the map from Baek Sau and make a judgment about whether the tomb should be opened.
“It will be quite dangerous because you may have to retrieve the map of Togeomzon’s tomb or go inside the tomb. Officers who still want to take on the task, please raise your hand.”
“me!”
Balder immediately raised his hand.
“Our Jinmujeon goes!”
“You can’t.”
Denier sighed and shook his head.
“If I go, I will go! I will show you that Sieghart is the strongest, not Sword Zone!”
Balder clenched his fist, saying that he would go not to obtain the treasure of the tomb, but to defeat the people who came to the tomb.
“We haven’t finished our investigation of the heavy warship yet. Have you forgotten the head of the household?”
“ah… .”
Balder opened his mouth wide as if he had finally remembered his mission to investigate.
Seeing that the two utility poles were not moving, the non-assigned cadres raised their hands.
Raon looked at him and nodded.
‘Of course.’
Sword Zone’s tomb was different from the missions that had been performed so far.
The honor and wealth that would be gained by conquering the tomb, and the sword master’s martial arts could not be compared to anything else.
It was natural that even Sieghart’s executives would be attracted to him.
-Are you not raising your hand? Were you aiming for that?
Lars tilted his head as if asking what he was doing.
“Raon.”
Aris also snapped her fingers as if to choose this mission.
Raon licked his lips, examining the documents that Chad held, not Aris.
‘I just said it was near Sieghart.’
Chad said that Baxau, who had a map to Swordsman’s grave, was moving near Sieghart’s realm.
If you think about it carefully, it seemed that you could aim for Sword Zone’s grave without taking on this mission.
‘It would be much more comfortable that way.’
In the end, Raon did not raise his hand and quietly watched the situation.
“I appreciate the participation of the sophomores, but this mission is dangerous, so it would be better if more than 100 people go.”
“Grunt… .”
“Sorry.”
“It was a good opportunity.”
The sober owners who had been heeding Chad’s advice lowered their hands. There were two officers left.
She is Serena, the master of swordsmanship, and Dronen, the leader of the Yeongnangdae.
I’d run into Dronen often in the audience room, but never talked to him. He was a very reticent person.
“Neither of you seem to be willing to make concessions. It’s an urgent mission, so it’s not a good situation for sparring. We decide by voting.”
Chad called out the names of the two men and began voting on who would take on the task.
“If you think it’s better for the Swordsman to take on the mission, please raise your hand.”
“me!”
When Aris supported Serena, most of the neutral executives raised their hands.
It was the same as if a decision had been made even though it was not Dronen’s turn.
“Then, the sword swordsman will take over the mission regarding the Tomb of Sword Master. and… omg!”
Chad flipped through the papers and shrugged.
“sorry. I forgot about this mission because I was busy with work in the middle.”
He picked up the first document he pulled out again.
“This is the search mission for Sieghart’s area that I mentioned at the beginning. Raise your hand if you want to take on this mission… .”
“I will do it.”
Raon immediately stood up and raised his hand.
“uh?”
“Are you going to scout?”
“Why all of a sudden?”
When Balder said he would take on a reconnaissance mission, which could be said to be a chore, all the executives seated at the round table widened their eyes.
“As Hyunmu Jeonju and Jinmu Jeonju said, I thought it would be better to start with what I can do now. As a junior, our Gwangpungdae will be in charge of this reconnaissance.”
“Uh, um.”
Balder blinked his eyes as if he was embarrassed when Raon said he would follow his words.
“Ah, that’s okay.”
He took a step back from Aris as if he was worried that he might get hit again.
“What you want to do… .”
“no. I will slowly reconnoitre and remind myself of what Sieghart is like.”
Raon shook his head and declared that he would take on this mission.
“nice! After all, I like her personality!”
Balder saw that Aris was still and nodded in satisfaction.
“okay. Reconnaissance is also an important mission! Make sure to finish it! And at the next round table, I’ll take care of your duties. I’ll assign you the best one.”
He tapped his chest as if telling him to trust him.
“Whoops.”
On the other hand, Aris drew a light smile as if she realized the intention of receiving the reconnaissance mission.
“… … .”
Denier also narrowed his eyes as if he understood my thoughts.
“There is no objection either. Then, the reconnaissance mission will be taken over by the Gwangpungdae.”
Chad nodded after examining the reactions of the officers seated at the round table.
Raon smiled lightly as he looked into the eyes of the executives who had clearly changed.
* * *
“Laon bastard. I mean.”
Balder let out a big laugh as he joined Denier as he left the round table.
“Don’t you like my personality? I used to get annoyed just by looking at it because of Raiden’s work, but lately, whenever I see it, I just say I’m happy. If I had known it would be like this, I would have brought it to our palace.”
He licked his lips with regret.
“also.”
Denier shook his head as he saw Balder’s smile.
“You couldn’t read that kid’s mind.”
“What do you mean?”
“Why do you think Raon, who didn’t show any interest in reconnaissance, suddenly decided to take on the reconnaissance mission?”
“The guy said it. I want to look back at Sieghart… .”
“It’s not like that.”
He waved his finger slowly.
“It’s because the guy who currently has the map of the sword zone is not too far from Sieghart’s realm.”
“then… .”
“okay. At that level, we can also search the sword master’s grave in the name of scouting. Raon was aiming for that. He created a way to pursue practical interests while winning favor with the executives.”
Denier laughed, saying he was good at grasping the situation.
“Actually, everyone except you could have thought of that. But Raon was the one who judged and decided the most quickly. It’s hard to believe that he was quicker to grasp the situation than the executives who participated in the round table dozens of times.”
“hmm… .”
“The executives who noticed that now might think they were fooled.”
“That’s not right.”
Balder shook his head resolutely.
“It’s not a joke, you should think he’s great. I got the mission with my abilities. Then it’s okay to praise. People who talk about being made fun of are narrow-minded people like rats.”
He laughed, saying that it was right to praise Raon.
“The more I think about it, the more regretful it is. Someone with such a good brain should have come before us.”
“you.”
Denier looked at Balder and narrowed his eyes.
“Aren’t you jealous?”
“jealousy?”
“Thanks to his older brother’s accident, Raon Sieghart gained his father’s trust more and took the seat of the chieftain. If he survives next year’s life-or-death crisis, he will become a direct descendant, Gwangpungdae will become a transfer, and he will be a successor candidate like us. It means I will be your rival.”
“hmm… .”
Balder scratched his chin with his large hand.
“I also want the position of head of household. I wish I could, and if I can, I’ll do it by any means. Well, I wouldn’t do anything like that person.”
He turned to the hospital room as if he remembered Karune.
“You can feel jealousy, and you can be envious. It just means that if I can’t fight with all my strength, he’s the one who will make Sieghart bigger than me. It doesn’t matter if you give in.”
Balder shook his head, saying that he could accept any family head as long as Sieghart could grow.
“… … .”
Denier looked at Balder and nodded.
“You do not change.”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“It means stay where you are.”
Denier gently patted Balder on the shoulder and returned to the front desk.
“Talk to me easily!”
Balder wrinkled his brow while looking at Denier’s back.
“It’s difficult!”
* * *
two days later.
Raon went out to the downtown area to receive information requested from the black market.
When I opened the door to the old statue in the corner of the mall and entered, I felt the warm scent of wood that calmed my heart.
As I walked inside, counting the increased number of pieces, the owner sitting at the counter took off his hood and bowed his head.
It was Denning Rose wearing an eyepatch with a purple rose pattern.
“Meet the Lord of Gwangpungdae.”
Denning Rose lowered her head with a small smile on her lips.
“Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
Raon looked at Denning Rose with trembling eyes.
“Since you have become a major owner, you should treat him accordingly.”
Denning Rose shook his hand, saying it was natural as a merchant.
“Congratulations on becoming a major shareholder.”
“… thank you.”
Raon bowed his head and sat down at the seat Denning Rose was guiding.
“By the way, the branch manager came in person.”
“Since it is the request of the great lord, of course I have to come.”
Denning Rose smiled, saying he was polite to the guest.
“I’d like to hear the story of his rise to Daeju, but I don’t have time, so I’ll go straight to work. Things have changed a bit.”
Her outer eyes flashed with a serious light.
“Things have changed… .”
“Two days ago, Baeksa-woo, who had the map of Swordsman’s tomb, died, and the owner changed.”
“Who is the owner this time?”
“Seonggeomryun.”
Denning Rose’s lips trembled briefly.
“Now the map of the sword zone is in the hands of Seonggeomryeon.”
