There are about two weeks left until the social gathering.

Meanwhile, preparations have gone very smoothly.

As if to prove that Merhen’s yard was not just a matter of luck, her preparations were smooth.

It was a well-prepared social circle, even for someone like me who is an outsider in this field.

But recently, another concern has arisen.

‘What on earth could it have been?’

Libra said with a serious expression, asking everyone to leave everything to her.

What on earth could that have been?

Her reaction was clearly different from the past, when she showed little interest in escort work or family affairs.

Especially these days, she seems to be feeling restless.

Last time, he asked me a question that seemed to be asking for my approval.

If you see a junior colleague at work who is thirsty for achievements, wouldn’t you feel that way?

At this point, even if you don’t say anything, I can sense it.

Libra, she… … seems to really like her current escort job.

Well, where else would you get 10 gold coins as salary just for doing paperwork?

Take care of food, clothing and shelter, pay me a lot of money, because I, who can be called the boss at work, don’t even explode.

There is no better job than this.

However… I think you must have made quite a bit of money with the items you bought at the auction house last time.

He must have earned enough to build a house and live in it on the outskirts of the empire.

So, are you preparing for retirement?

Anyway, it’s a good thing that Libra is motivated.

But that’s that.

I clearly expressed my refusal to her.

There’s no reason to leave everything up to Libra, and if something goes wrong, it could get out of control.

In fact, I opened up my social circle with the intention of showing off my abilities to everyone.

This is also the reason why I have never shown my face in social circles.

When the day comes that I get to show off my abilities, I want to imprint them in the eyes of as many people as possible.

Because peace comes from overwhelming force.

The cooldown time for my Heart Sword is a whopping 30 days, but this is something that can be hidden at any time.

No matter how fatal a weakness is, if it is not discovered, it is difficult to call it a weakness.

Since the Heart Sword is the highest-level attack technique in the work, it will be more than enough to shock those gathered in the social circle.

I feel sorry for Libra for being so motivated, but there is still a lot for her to do in the future.

And… I have no intention of letting you go.

—

“What are you thinking?”

“… When did Lisiella come?”

“Just now. Cain, you were dazed too. Isn’t that strange?”

Lisiela Tierniel.

She, the next head of one of the five great families of the empire, a family that focuses on alchemy, appeared in my office.

In each of her hands was a sword.

“Is that the fortune I entrusted to you?”

“Yeah. I made it a little bigger to fit your body type.”

I accepted the sword that Lisiella handed me and immediately drew it.

A long sword in the form of a long two-handed sword.

If it had grown just a little bigger, it would have been big enough to be called a greatsword.

The sword made from a meteorite itself was imbued with magical power and emitted a soft light.

It’s a bit heavy, but that doesn’t matter to me.

Because my strength has been raised abnormally.

Rather, it seemed like it had a good weight to it and it was tasty.

However, the true value of the Uncheolgeom is not like this.

It was made from a meteorite that fell from the sky and is imbued with cosmic energy, giving it special synergy in all magical phenomena.

It is a sword that can also cut magic, as long as it can react.

“This was really hard to make. I almost gave up because it kept absorbing the higher-level magic catalysts I poured in?”

“Still, I finally finished it.”

“It seems there is a limit to the amount of magic catalysts that can be absorbed. I also touched the stockpiled stocks in my family.”

Lisiella made a subtle appeal.

Certainly, since Yuncheol has a comparative advantage in all magical phenomena, it is difficult to refine it.

Still, it means that she refined the iron.

“Lisiela. Did you check the potion recipe I gave you?”

“… Hey Kane. How the hell do you know this?”

When Lisiella heard my words, her eyes furrowed.

She took out a silvery green and blue reagent from her bosom.

Compared to the Giant Vitality Potion and Titan Essence Potion that are on the market, it was a paltry color, but I could still tell.

That is the fairy potion that is the original for the potions produced by the Tierniel family branch.

It seemed that Lisiella had succeeded in making the initial potion according to the recipe I had taught her.

“This effect is infinitely inferior to our family potion, but the direction is right.”

“It’s a fairy thing, but it’s definitely the origin of your family’s potion.”

“Yeah, I think so. There are still a lot of parts that need to be adjusted, but… I like this much better. It’s enough to show that if we mess up, we can develop it ourselves.”

A super regeneration potion made with the vision technology of the Tierniel family.

This has the biggest difference from the recipe for the Giant Vitality Potion and Titan Essence Potion that the collateral line has.

That’s because the material only grows in the secret garden of the Tierniel family.

Therefore, even if they know how to make a super regeneration potion, those in the collateral lineage cannot make it.

On the other hand, the production of the Giant Vitality Potion and the Titan Essence Potion held by the collateral line is different.

Anyone can make this if they know the manufacturing method and follow the process a little better.

Although the potion’s efficacy or refinement may be slightly lacking due to the lack of know-how of over a decade, it is possible to produce potions with similar efficacy.

Not to mention the great master of this side, Lisiella Tierniel. If she fully understands the recipe, the Senate will not simply lose their power.

A problem that could lead to the elimination of the entire Tierniel family.

Of course, if I do that, the size of the Tierniel family will decrease, so I won’t go that far.

Since the main family, Tierniel, may produce potions that were being produced by the collateral line, it will have a significant negative impact on profits.

With this, the power structure of the Tierniel family tilted significantly towards Lisiella.

If Lisiella shows any sign of being able to produce other potions as well, the Senate will back down.

If this incident allows Lisiella to successfully take over as head of the household, all members of the Senate will be removed and the vacant positions will be filled by people who suit Lisiella’s taste.

What she had been wishing for was finally happening.

Could that be the reason?

Although refining the Uncheolgeom required a considerable amount of high-grade magic catalyst that could not be purchased with money, her expression was incredibly bright.

“Is Lisiella that good?”

“Of course. Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this day? Hey, Kane. It’s late to say this, but I actually thought you wouldn’t last long. It was the same last time we had a reading club. Now that I look at it, you’re doing the best out of all of us. ”

“I was thinking useless thoughts.”

“Well… I don’t think you were just talking, but you didn’t really show anything. You even rejected all the mock battles.”

“I’m not confident in controlling my strength. If I had a sword, I would have definitely killed my opponent.”

“Oh my, is that so? Anyway, it’s still the same.”

Lisiella laughed playfully.

“Just in case… Keep the recipe for the potion a secret. I won’t dig too deep. And don’t show that great book to anyone. I don’t know if it actually exists.”

“Let’s do that.”

“Okay then. The social party is in two weeks, right?”

“Yes. Be sure to attend.”

“I cleared my schedule. But… is that rumor true?”

Lisiela said, narrowing her eyes.

“The eyes of dawn speak.”

“Yeah, that jewel. You’re going to display it in the social circle?”

“That’s right.”

“Do you… know what this means? This is the jewel that the Shadow Thieves, which consists of two of the Eight Great Villains, are after.”

“What does that matter?”

“That means your party will be attacked. Worried about that, other influential people from other families might not attend.”

“Rishiela, is that all you’re worried about? If you’re the type to be scared by something as small as that, then I don’t need you either.”

“That shouldn’t be the problem… If someone in your family gets hurt, it will tarnish your reputation.”

“There’s no need to worry, that won’t happen. Was that all you were worried about?”

“Are you confident? Do you have any faith in yourself?”

It’s a corner of trust.

There was something funny about that.

“I’d rather they come. If they show up, they’ll be in charge of the party entertainment.”

“Kane, you’re still the same.”

The Shadow Thieves are a group of people who are known for their skills even behind the scenes in the Empire.

It was originally a social party where many people from the empire’s influential families gathered.

Among those who gather, there will be many who are confident in their military skills.

Those bandits will also try to avoid armed conflict as much as possible.

But they will definitely come.

Because the eyes of dawn are the jewels they have been searching for their entire lives.

There is no problem in this part.

There is just one more thing to consider.

The last of the eight villains. Red Dog who cuts.

He was the oldest of the currently designated eight villains.

And there is one more feature.

That’s right… Royce Goldwyn. His subordinate.

A long-time assassin raised by the Goldwyn family, he has assassinated numerous people.

As such, it can be said to be the last weapon of the Goldwyn family.

We still don’t know exactly what Lois Goldwyn is thinking.

But… if I were him, wouldn’t the Shadow Thieves send Red Dog to kill me when they attack my family this time?

Therefore, you should consider using the Heart Sword while considering the appearance of Red Dog.

This is an event that occurs when the relationship with the Goldwin family becomes extreme, but the current situation is the same as when it became extreme.

“Then I’ll look forward to the party, Kane.”

“Okay. Come on time.”

While I was thinking about this and that, Lisiella left the office, promising me that she would come to the social scene.

I shook off my thoughts and saw her off.
