episode_0081

With the sound of a glass breaking, the servant’s face turned into confusion.

Well, it would be absurd for the person concerned to say that I hit him first, even though he was asking me where I left my eyes.

But I think I found the right one.

[Kiyan]

[Intimacy: -35%]

A gray intimacy box appears under his name.

Looking at the figure of -35%, it is clear that they are hostile towards Karssein.

However, this character, Kiyan, does not simply show hostility towards Karsein.

▶We found someone hiding as a servant in the party hall!◀

[ be careful! Something might happen at the party soon! ]

Judging from the description just below, you probably don’t feel like you’re here to ruin this party.

And it is so in reality.

This character, Kiyan, is caught carrying out a terrorist attack at a party, and ultimately commits suicide, while clearly showing his anger towards the nobles.

In other words, this is not animosity directed only at Karsein.

Hostility towards nobles.

Anger created by past events.

This terrorist attack was another derivative event and could be seen as a flag that gave the player the beginning of the episode.

and. I’m going to try to solve that first now.

“All three of you, follow me.”

When I gave this order to the three servants, they paid attention and followed me.

▶This location is a warning area!◀

[ Please be careful as unexpected options may appear depending on the situation. ]

‘Is this a warning area? This is enough.’

Having Karssein enter the warning zone is not a very good choice for the player.

But on the other hand, what would happen if we consider the current situation?

It is a place used by nobles, but it is also used by Karssein of Bagland. There was no way the servants would visit.

The same goes for nobles. I don’t think they will come see me right away, as their hands and feet are covered in greasiness by my comment. Unless some kind of trigger occurs.

Therefore, paradoxically, it becomes the most suitable place to convey a few words to these three people.

I am here now to scold these three servants.

Take a deep breath.

I said bluntly as I looked at the three gray boxes marked -35%.

“I understand what you were thinking when breaking in here. You’d better stop.”

“Master. We really don’t know─”

chuck.

“This lung. It’s yours to install them on every street corner. They probably did it with the intention of startling their horses and breaking their wheels or causing the driver to fall off his horse. Isn’t it?”

“…!”

“ I know that you also put a lot of effort into the party hall as well. There is nothing that ruins a party like this more than a horse running wild and causing the carriage to get stuck.”

The atmosphere of the servants had changed significantly compared to before.

There was a clear divergence in his eyes as he quickly guessed his intention and even blocked the way for him to escape.

-Tiring!

▶Warning! There is a hostile person nearby!◀

I know.

It’s not good to stimulate things like this.

But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a way.

“Count Modric. It must be that guy, right?”

“…Yes?”

“This is the name of the person who attacked the people of your village and shamelessly tried to punish you.”

“How do you do that…”

“The only nobles in the eastern part of the country who can use the road to Rusmire Domain are the Count Modric family. The only person stupid enough to do something like that would be that guy.”

Their background is not explained in detail in the game, but since I know that a meeting of Eastern Nobles will be held, I have studied it to some extent.

These are residents of Ruthmire.

He is from the village of Ruthmire, which is considered an isolated area in the East because it does not belong to any family.

Due to its geographical characteristics, Ruthmeier is an abandoned land.

This small piece of land was a place where territorial battles were often held in the past, and is currently used as a border area, so it does not belong to any family’s territory.

Self-sufficiency may be possible, but it is useless except for the road leading to this party venue, and there are no buried resources, so it is set to be desperately poor.

However, even though the only road was given to him, Count Modric is acting viciously, so I can’t help but feel dissatisfied.

Even though I requested help from the families connected to Ruthmayer for this matter, all the nobles would have turned their backs on me.

For reasons such as, if you collect money for no reason, you have to pay more taxes, or if you collect territory that has no merit, you only lose money.

In a word, they are isolated.

“So? Are you planning to stop me by saying you know everything?”

“Okay.”

“Do not look down on them. Even if you are the master of the Vagrand duchy, three people can defeat you!”

“Once you have already entered this party, you cannot go back. I came here with the sole intention of getting revenge on the nobles here. Now we are not afraid even if our lives are lost!”

▶The three men showed hostility. Now you can attack them and take them down!◀

Considering that we’ve dealt with Bruce and Theo Ramstair so far, it won’t be difficult to deal with them.

I might be able to escape without being suppressed like this and call the security to chase them out.

However, that is not the correct way to clear this sub-episode.

To receive “.”

“What…?”

-Poof!

A pouch flying in the air fell into the chest of the man in the center.

They looked at me, doing something, and opened their pockets.

“This is…!”

“Gold coins?! And that much?”

“…What does it mean?”

“Rescuing the person hit by the carriage is the priority, and if such a terrorist act is caused, Ruthmeier will be in even more trouble.”

“So? Is this a hush money to stop causing trouble?”

“No. It’s not silencing. It means that we will no longer leave it as an isolated land.”

“What is that…?”

The three confused men swallowed their saliva.

“Rusmire will soon become the Duchy of Bagland.”

The correct way to clear this sub-episode.

At the same time, how to avoid causing problems in the main episode.

That was to purchase a piece of land called Ruthmire in advance.

***

■Compensation

[Ivory colored rope]

‘This is roughly resolved.’

This item is a rope made of rough and stiff rice straw that only grows in Ruthmire, and is known to be given only to people of trust among the residents of Ruthmire territory.

Since I have this, they won’t doubt me too much if I tell them I’m visiting next time.

It was a good harvest.

Additionally, other information could be obtained.

Unlike Chapter 1, Chapter 2 involves activities outside the Duke’s mansion, so it has the characteristic of having to find and solve episodes in advance.

However, the question of whether episodes could be played in advance still remained, and that has just been resolved.

▶I discovered the main episode derived from the sub-episode!◀

▶Rusmire Territory residents return without disturbing the party hall!◀

▶We succeeded in bringing about a result that went beyond the options!◀

▶Episode I. Ruthmire’s Isolation is designated as the main episode!◀

‘This makes it clear. Instead of clearing the main episode as specified by the system, I could choose Seosun myself.’

I replayed the game hundreds of times, only focusing on options and familiarity with the threat in front of me.

But looking at it now, I feel like such a fool that I don’t know why I never thought of this. It’s like seeing only trees, not a forest.

‘Well, that’s enough. Now is not the time to think about such things.’

There’s still work left at the party.

When I brought drinks.

Harnier was holding his head, not even knowing I had arrived.

“Harnier?”

“Hi!”

I didn’t even raise my voice that loud, but I was so shocked…?

Why do I guess that reaction?

Putting that anxiety aside, I cautiously asked her.

“…What happened?”

“Well, that’s… I’m sorry, Karssein.”

The ominous predictions do not go astray.

Harnier looked at me intently and apologized again.

It seems that no matter how hard he tried to resolve the matter on the terrace, he couldn’t think of a solution.

‘After all, I have to be the male lead in a medieval morning drama, right?’

…Fuck.

There’s nothing I can do about it.

There was no other way than to use the power of the K-morning drama to soak them in grease, make them vomit, and then escape.

As soon as we went outside, the real party started.

Harnier and I were the hot potatoes of this party, so we were receiving the most attention.

This can be seen as meaning that this time, he will bite the back of the neck and not let go.

First, the women came one by one holding a fan, covered their mouths, and started asking questions.

“We know very well how much Prince Karssein likes Lady Harnier. Maybe that’s why I’m even more curious?”

“I had the feeling that Lady Harnier was somehow avoiding the answer. I wish Confucius would answer for me. Would you like to go on a first date first?”

“The place where we had our first date. They said it’s a place we don’t know much about. Can you tell us how romantic it was?”

“Of course, it would be obvious that it would be a dating place for nobles, right? There is no way he would have walked the same path as the common people.”

“I heard that the date course was planned out better than I expected. They say it was one of the happiest days in the world.”

At first glance, it seems like a sharp question.

However, I could guess that those finely folded eyes contained dark malice.

“Please let us know. Shouldn’t we follow the leading culture of the two descendants of the highly influential families of Bagland and Theresia?”

Even holding on tightly to prevent him from escaping.

He even mentioned our family name and referred to our meeting as a ‘leading culture’, so we set this board as a test to come up with an appropriate answer.

‘this. ‘I thought I should leave it as a morning drama comment, but I guess there’s no need for that, right?’

no. Strictly speaking, it shouldn’t have been handled so gently.

Perhaps among them, there was actually a dating place that was known as a national rule or a well-known dating course.

This is the so-called unspoken rule of the nobility.

That’s why Harnier was convinced that he didn’t know much about the dating styles of nobles, so he exposed his teeth and also raised his claws to bite me.

However, paradoxically, this can be easily broken by denying their rules.

“It was a snow festival street.”

“Yes?”

“Are you kidding? A snow festival street…”

“Are you saying that the street you walk with the common people was the place for your first date?”

The ladies’ arsenic began to flow.

Men will try to bite me now. How could a gentleman take his fiancee to such a shabby place?

“For a first date on such an ugly street… keuhuh.”

“My fiancee was bragging so much, so I asked where it was. Is it just that kind of thing?”

“If you lower your status, I think it’s safe to say you’re just a commoner?”

They started giggling and laughing at me.

“That’s funny. So, does that mean we have to boringly go through the same course in the same place every time, just like you want?”

“Yes? No, that’s…”

“Shouldn’t nobles act like nobles?”

okay. That’s what I was aiming for in the first place.

Because you see me as a pariah.

Because there is a perception that they are not nobles like themselves.

Because they’re trying to frame you, saying you don’t deserve to be here.

So, I can properly dig into loopholes by making things bigger.

-bang!

“You’re crossing the line when you say let’s hear it. Can this be seen as a declaration of war against the Vagrand Dukes?”

I slammed the table and screamed.

“Suddenly… What do you mean?”

“Didn’t you guys deceive me and my fiancee? Well, I guess it’s not strange to see the family’s name appear now.”

“That’s absurd! We’re just interested in the two of you meeting…!”

“Then tell me. Since when did I and my fiancee have to proceed with our schedule as if we were your puppets?”

Try saying the same thing again.

You stupid bastards.
