Cecil, who was seated in the corner of the living room, showed her depression with her whole body.

Arthur and Rene did their best to comfort him, but how could his self-esteem, which had been shattered by a single word and ridicule, be built so easily?

Even though she had put her clothes back on, Cecile was still naked at heart and had no trace of her previous confidence or arrogance.

I know too!? It’s only been a year since I became a woman! How can I not know how much the word “small” can hurt!

‘Just because I’m someone else’s. ‘I wonder if you wanted to mention that!’

I thought to myself, “What kind of crazy person is this?” But that’s it!

I can assure you that I had no intention of talking about other people’s sensitive areas!

no. Chew. Why would anyone talk about Gogan based on common sense?

Even though I am being consumed by Mesugaki skills, I still have common sense!

I don’t say things I shouldn’t say even though there is no hostility!

Even from my perspective, this incident was an accident! accident!

‘It’s not that small in the first place!’

Even though I only saw the silhouette, it was still enough to make me feel confident! Why are you doing this out of a sense of entitlement?

Oops! I made a mistake!

“Why don’t we just leave the Peanut Prince alone and continue talking?”

The moment I opened my mouth to change words, another disaster unfolded.

I never thought that even the title would change to that!

“…younger brother. Give me the sword.”

“Little brother! Calm down…!”

“Small? Me?”

“That’s not what you’re saying! And what’s so small about you?”

“ is correct. Little brother. The small one is that kid, not you.”

“We have to keep talking about that!? Can’t we stop?!”

Only after Joey, whose face was red, let out a voice that was close to a scream, did the men clear their throats and return to their original positions.

Cecile was still glaring at me as if she had a lot of resentment, but I tried to ignore her gaze.

I don’t think I’ll lose if I fight, but it’s not like I’m the one who made a mistake first and then I destroy it.

Even saying the wrong thing is a mistake, but if you even shake your fist, you become a real bitch!

“Anyway, so the land.”

“ character. The employer stays still. 2The prince visited the Kurten Duke family?”

Karia, who naturally covered my mouth, took the lead in talking instead of me.

“It was like that. The Duke of Kurten nominally belongs to the First Queen’s faction, but is close to neutral. In some cases, there is room for persuasion.”

Certainly, rather than the first queen faction, they are closer to the supporters of the now-corpse king.

Compared to other operatives who have staked their future on Rene, there is ample room for persuasion.

Duke Kurten would gladly revolt if he could convince her that the king’s body was being used for the first queen’s ambitions.

“And Duke Kurten has an unusual hobby, doesn’t he? There is no need to worry about being shut down.”

If it’s a hobby.

“Gambling. Do you mean?”

When Joey asked carefully, Cecil nodded.

“It doesn’t matter what you do. Fight with what you have. If you win, I will give you what you want.”

Duke Kurten has his own beliefs and tells stories that the chairman of a gambling comic would tell, but what makes him different from them is that he accepts defeat.

He is a nobleman who only has strange beliefs but knows honor.

“I heard that only a few people won that gamble.”

“I know too. I had no intention of winning in the first place. I just stepped forward to entrust the next task to my brother.”

Cecil was defeated as expected, but his original goal was not achieved.

No traces of fraud were found anywhere.

“I tried various things as your brother advised, but it was impossible.”

“Is that so as expected?”

“Of course I can’t find it. There is no such thing as denial.”

It was Karia who answered the question.

“That guy is just so damn lucky.”

“That winning rate is achieved simply by luck?”

“And you have no doubt that you will be lucky. That’s why you respect someone who gambles with you and wins. The great god thinks he can’t lose unless he’s the one who bows.”

This isn’t much different from what I knew.

Duke Kurten’s treatment in the game was cruel due to his trait of being generous only to those who defeated him.

When your luck reached a certain level or you acquired a certain skill, it was customary to visit and rip off various items.

I also received help every time I played the game.

“In the case of other strategies, I will try to come up with a countermeasure somehow, but it is just luck. It’s difficult.”

“What is difficult? He’s a tough old man who will give you a lot of money if you play just a little bit.”

And I think I’ll get help this time too.

A really good dog… No. It’s the duke.

“I’m going to play with Sugar Duke.”

“Yes?! wait a minute! Lucy! If you make a mistake, you might end up looking like the second prince!”

“It is foolish to rush in without thinking! Lucy Aln!”

“You two are right! We need to come up with a better strategy and move!”

What on earth do they think of Duke Kurten?

No matter what, you wouldn’t do something like that to a girl who is your granddaughter’s age.

Even in the game, when it comes to female characters, you stick to the right boundaries.

‘No, it’s really okay?’

“Lucy! That’s not possible!”

“Yes! Listen to this big guy! Would you mind showing your beautiful body to that old man?”

“Lady!”

“Lady!”

No, it’s okay! What you think doesn’t happen!

Lewdly the young ones!

– Tiring.

[Do not go to Duke Kurten’s family.]

Why are you even doing this to me?

Am I going to lose this fight!?

*

Duke Kurten, who had won a bet with the 2nd Prince of Solladin not long ago, was smiling as he recalled the 2nd Prince’s tenacity in not giving up until the end.

Even though heaven favored this old man, that does not mean that what the second prince showed was meaningless.

Previously, you were someone who was desperate to hide your impatience, but now you have become a person worthy of your position.

It’s truly a happy thing.

Thanks to you, I got excited and did something unadulterable. The right thing to do would be to refuse his offer.

Even if you come back in the future, I have no intention of seeing you, but I would like to hear your story anyway.

Even if it goes against my beliefs, I can’t just sit back and watch the first queen go down the wrong path.

Duke Kurten lowered his head, remembering the first queen from his childhood, and laughed when he saw his own confused face reflected in the teacup.

“Owner of Kurten! Do you mind if I excuse you?!”

“Come in.”

When the deacon came inside, bewilderment was evident on his face.

For someone who has been through everything with me to be so embarrassed, it’s not like the princes have come to challenge me again.

“What’s going on?”

“It’s difficult to explain in words. Please look out the window.”

“Outside the window?”

The duke turned his head to follow what the butler said without knowing what was happening, and almost dropped his teacup when he saw the people approaching the mansion.

“Did you decide to start a war in Aln?”

The first thing he saw was Benedick Aln, who Kurten thought was the strongest knight on the continent, and the knights under him.

Although they are few in number, they are all scary aspects.

The only time Aln’s monsters move is when something comparable to war occurs.

“No. You know. The character that Aln Baek possesses.”

“Then.”

Caria. I heard that it reappeared, but this is my first time seeing it in person. The fact that he was involved probably means that there was some kind of calculation.

“What is that?”

“…It is said that they followed to stop the daughter of the Aln family.”

“What?”

Because you couldn’t stop one girl, all of Arn’s knights followed you? You didn’t come to show force to force a decision?

“Aren’t the Lady of Patran and the three princes also there? It’s not a rough job.”

“Wait a minute. So, Lady Arlen came to gamble with me, and everyone else followed along to dissuade her from making a choice?”

“Yes. Yes.”

“It is clear that I have become senile. I hear something strange.”

Duke Kurten is the longest-lived of the five dukes of Soladdin. I’ve been through so much that I’m confident that I’m not surprised by most things.

However, even for Duke Kurten, the current situation was difficult to keep up with.

“I guess I should go out and see it first.”

“Shall we prepare for battle?”

“No. done. don’t do anything Then, once the blood flows, there is no turning back.”

When Duke Kurten appeared, leading his children and retainers, the first prince bowed his head respectfully.

“I’m sorry for coming to you suddenly. Duke Kurten.”

“No. I’m just glad that you’re paying attention to my old friend who doesn’t have much time left to live. Thanks to you, I got to see that kid’s face after a long time.”

Benedick bowed his head politely at Duke Kurten’s words, but strangely enough, there was a sharp edge in his eyes.

When did I do something that offended him?

“But it’s just the situation.”

I don’t know what it is, but I’m assuming it aroused hostility.

What is the reason for such a grandiose move?

1Are you threatening the queen so that she can’t move easily?

They may be threatening to prevent foolish people from changing their minds when a situation arises in the future, or they may have come as a demonstration of force as initially thought.

“I would be grateful if you could explain it.”

No matter what happens, I have no intention of getting along easily.

Kurten respects the strong, but they are not cowards who bow before the strong.

“That’s what we are.”

“I came because I heard that if you play with Sugar Peacock, he will grant anything you ask for.”

Duke Kurten froze with his mouth open at Lucy Alln’s sudden words.

Sugar Peacock? Are you talking about me?

“Stay still! Lucy Aln!”

“Lucy! Listen to this papa!”

“Lucy! Please!”

“Lady!”

Duke Kurten, who was watching the sincere urging, recalled what the butler had said. Did all of these people really follow you to stop one young lady from Arlen!?

“Duke Kurten. Long time no see.”

“…Caria. Could you please explain the situation?”

“Didn’t the Duke just strip the second prince and send him away? Other people who saw that mistakenly thought that all challengers were treated that way.”

“What kind of conspiracy is that! But I’m crazy!?”

“I tried to persuade you too. this. I can’t speak.”

“Princes! Benedick Aln! Lady Patran! Is this real?!”

When the duke screamed in horror, those who were called quietly retreated.

“2The prince should have explained it properly too! Didn’t I dissuade you!”

“…that. sorry. There was no time to speak.”

“I’m not even a partran kid, so I never thought I’d be misunderstood like this.”

Duke Kurten, who was holding his face, let out a long sigh and invited the guests inside.

“Then, can I play with Sugar Peacock now?”

“Lady Aln. What does the title Sugar Duke mean?”

“Well? What do you think it means?”

“I don’t know, but I don’t think it has a good meaning.”
