“You can’t be this relaxed, Mr. Xian!”

The sight of Nabira leisurely leading the carriage made Pinna feel restless.

“We have to run away at full speed now!”

“It’s okay. They won’t be able to chase you because they’re busy putting out the fire.”

“Hunyaa… I heard there are many warriors among the Ken clan who are good at tracking!”

“Pina, have you forgotten who I am?”

“Strong conman?”

“…You’re a hunter.”

A hunter had to be able to read his prey’s prey’s scent and, conversely, conceal his own scent.

“I’ve been a hunter for 20 years. Do you think I’m being tracked?”

“? I heard that Mr. Sian is 12 years old this year.”

“Let’s skip the small stuff and guide to Sahard’s Dukedom.”

Although she made a displeased expression on her face, she did as I told her.

“Mr. Xian, wasn’t it impossible to enter the Sahard Dukedom?”

“Yes, the Sahad Project closed off the territory because it was aware of the drones.”

“Then why?”

“Of course, I am a proper swindler too.”

In response to Nabira’s question, I showed her my family crest.

“It’s not that other people can’t go, it’s that I can’t go.”

“I see.”

However, the reason why you don’t go to Sahard’s Duchy from the beginning is because there’s nothing to gain from going there.

‘The Sahard Dukedom that lost its trading city is as good as having its spine broken.’

According to Elsia’s guess, a proper market cannot be formed in the current Sahard Duchy.

‘Even if it’s there, it’s too far.’

That’s why I bought a lot of daily necessities at slightly expensive prices from Lugardrian.

Until the road is completed, the village of Ruggeron is virtually isolated.

In that sense, it was a choice I have no regrets about up until now.

“Your Majesty, if you don’t mind, may I ask why you visited Sahard’s dukedom?”

Gloria approached me cautiously as I was resting in the carriage.

He seemed anxious that I might join forces with Sahard Gongjak as I get older.

“Nothing much, just trying to exchange information.”

There will be friction between the current Hadron and Suin tribes, and if it gets worse, a local war could break out.

If you investigate to the end, you may be able to determine that it was done by a third party, but by then, there will already be a rift between the two.

‘After that, Duke Sahard will take care of it.’

The West is currently in a state of chaos.

The Sahad Duke’s forces, known as the leaders of the West.

Hardron, who dug underground tunnels all over the West in an attempt to regain his former glory.

The Suin Tribe’s Suin Tribe Union.

Finally, I am receiving support from the Holy Kingdom.

Of course, this was the weakest one among them.

‘It’s ridiculous to have to fight a battle alone, but if you don’t, there’s a way to cause trouble with the Six Souls level spear.’

This was also the reason why I was heading to Sahard Duchy now.

For the sake of the future, I had to get the guy who only insisted on defense out.

“Get out! No one can provoke the Sahard Dukedom!”

As we arrived near the Duke’s territory, the patrolling troops swarmed our carriage.

I immediately wished for the family crest.

“The Duke of Nansung Kingdom, Sian Titras. He visited in person to meet Duke Sahad.”

“Atlas? It’s the first time I’ve heard that family name.”

“Huh?”

Even when I showed him the family crest, he showed no reaction.

Are these guys a part of the abandoned unit? ”

“If you are a noble, you should bring knights with you, but don’t you have anything?”

“I don’t need a knight. In the first place, isn’t it rude to bring troops to visit someone else’s territory?”

“That’s funny. A noble without a knight. Noble gentleman, you should make your lies reasonable.”

If you see the village chief looking at the family crest and feeling indifferent, it seems like he is being punished.

‘Is it just that our village chief is amazing?’

As I was sighing deeply, a man who looked like a general looked over Gloria’s body standing next to me and spoke with a sinister expression.

“If you want to get past this, hand that woman over to us.”

“Huh?”

“I held you as a kind of bait. If you are a true noble, I will return you next time. ”

Gloria turned pale for a moment at the patrol leader’s words.

If I had left Gloria in their care, I almost did something wrong.

In this day and age, powerless women have no human rights. They are almost like tools.

“Phew… If you apologize right now, I’ll let go of what you just said.”

“Huh, then get out. You swindler. ”

“Sigh, fuck, seriously.”

Just because I was a noble, I had no intention of becoming obsessed with the authority of the nobility.

Because I don’t want to be swayed by empty flattery, and I don’t want to strangle other people’s lives because of my status.

But then again, I didn’t want to look funny to other people.

“Hestia, I think I’ve endured enough. If you keep bothering me like last time, it’ll be your turn next time.”

I warned the goddess who was watching me from somewhere and immediately displayed my divinity.

“Ma,Magic?”

The patrol leader saw Hestia’s flames starting to heat up the area, and he felt sorry for her, but it was too late.

…

If you want to understand the atmosphere of an organization, look at the bottom of the organization. The person at the very bottom represents the group.

Conversely, if you wanted to know the potential of an organization, you could look at its leaders.

“This is the first time I’ve been so rude.”

“This was my first time receiving such an insult.”

The winged man was looking down at me from high above.

It seems like he was trying to gain some influence, but it was useless to me, a Titan.

“You even brought a smelly cat bitch in front of me.”

“Can you stop with the racist remarks? Even though they are from the same tribe.”

“Atlas, stop making mistakes. The Celestials are different from the Beastmen who crawl on the ground.”

Duke Sahard, like Pinah, was a Suin.

It was also a celestial tribe that was said to rule the sky.

‘What a grand name.’

However, unlike the cool name of Celestial, he is just a winged human.

It’s like a human with cat ears and a tail.

“I don’t know what a celestial is, it’s none of my business, so let’s get straight to the point.”

“You’re being rude to me when I suddenly visit.”

“I’m sorry, but I feel bad because of someone’s subordinate.”

I immediately took Chiron’s head out of my and handed it over to Duke Sahard.

“Take it.”

“Who is this?”

“The Prince of Hadron.”

“Interest?”

Duke Sahard looked greatly embarrassed.

Well, if someone suddenly shows up with a crown, and a prince’s crown at that, you can’t help but be flustered.

“I’ll sell this to you. For fifty platinum pieces.”

“Every single one, everything is ridiculous. Even fifty platinum coins? Are you ignoring me, the privateer?”

“Hmm, I think I’ll give it a chance.”

As I spoke, grumbling, Duke Sahard flapped his wings, unable to hide his displeasure.

“Isn’t it hard to stay in the position of Sa-gong-jak any longer? Sa-ha-d-jak-jak.”

“You bastard… ”

The emperor once openly praised me for my deeds in front of me.

From the perspective of an empire that regards the gods as enemies, the secret operation is nothing special.

In reality, the Duke of Sa was merely a vassal who was responsible for governing each region on behalf of the Emperor, and the real influence was held by the imperial knights and the castle kingdoms.

Among those four princes, Duke Sahard was the weakest.

He was different from Duke Starr, who was trying to expand his territory in the north, and Duke Peperoan, who had rich lands in the south. He was also in conflict with Duke Morgan in the east, who even called forth monsters and opposed ‘freedom independence’, so he was bound to be compared in terms of his ability to struggle against Hadron.

“Your reputation is not good because you’ve been getting beat up by drones lately. Let’s use this opportunity to restore your reputation.”

“I don’t think that’s something you should be concerned about.”

“I have a connection with the royal family, and I personally hope that the West will be at peace. Well, if you can’t afford to buy it, I have no choice but to give it away for free.”

“No, I will buy it.”

As expected, since authority was more important than money, the Duke of Jishahard did not haggle and accepted the deal right away.

It was a typical appearance of a nobleman.

“Platinum will be paid immediately tomorrow.”

“Then, let’s stay here today. Excuse me, but I wish my people would treat me like VIPs too.”

“You’ve already done all the rude things, but you’re talking nonsense.”

“Don’t take it as a compliment.”

As I was about to get up, Duke Sahard looked at the soldiers behind me and asked.

“But why did you bring the authors here?”

“Ah, those guys dare to covet my woman. I want to deal with them right away with my own hands, but the authority in this land belongs to the owner. I brought them here to deal with them.”

“Is that so.”

“Oh, Your Highness. I’m truly sorry. Please, just spare my life… .”

As I explained, the patrol captain who had been hit by me started to get really surprised.

I tried desperately to survive, but his life was not in my hands.

As Duke Sahad gestured, countless arrows flew down from the sky and brutally killed the soldiers, including the patrol captain.

It was the Knights of the Sky who boasted of the Duke of Sahard.

Don’t be so arrogant.

“Thank you for your consideration. Thanks to you, I was able to maintain my authority.”

“I see? That’s fortunate.”

After roughly answering the question from the hardworking Duke, I headed straight to the VIP room.

Medieval noble life is really annoying.

‘Country life is better.’
