Volu 6 Chapter 14
With a pale moon showing little light, a lone carriage traveled over stone pavent in the royal capital.
Two n were riding inside it.
Indeed he was a man, but looking at how beautiful he was, it would be no wonder if soone mistook him as a woman.
While the other man had shaved head without a single hair.
His age was around 40s. His height was sowhat little over 180 centiters.
One can say his body looked solid.
People might call him a person thats as big as a bear.
His upper arms were very thick.
The feature that drew the most attention however, was the eyepatch made of black leather that covered his right eye.
A scar ran from his eyelid down to his cheek.
Coupled with slls of violence that oozed from his whole body, although he was wearing silk clothes with stylish design, it was obvious that he was soone who people should not co close to.
Such a man sighed unhappily.
Fumu To think we have to co to an upstart Barons invitation The world seems to be coming to an end.
Saying so, the man snorted.
The man was from a knight household who served the first King who created the Kingdom of Rozeria. Inreturn, his household was being given territory located at the east of the kingdom, given the task to defend the country from the Mist Kingdom.
His house saw a decline in authority after the downfall of Pri Minister Earl Ernest. Even with that, his household still remained as one of the most prestigious households within the kingdom.
Normally, a baron of unknown origin wont be able to invite him so suddenly.
By the standard of aristocrats of this world, an invitation was sent to soone lower rank than the sender.
Of course, there was also a case where lower ranked aristocrats invited the higher ranked one, but that was because they had intimate relationships such as blood or marriage relationship.
It was almost impossible for the man to accept an invitation from Baron Mikoshiba which he hardly even knew.
To put it bluntly, it would not be weird if they just ignored the invitation made by Baron Mikoshiba Ryouma.
Dissatisfaction was burning like a lava inside the mans heart.
However, the young man in front of him had a smile on his face and showed a different attitude.
If youre going to complain that much, then it wouldve been better to decline the invitation. Our McMaster family was a family of a Viscount. It would be fine to decline an invitation coming from a Baron, no?
Saying those words, the young man laughed and smiled.
He had a beautiful voice with a siren like sound that would deceive people if one heard it.
The man glared at the young man with a beautiful face.
You said that, but do you really understand what you said?
Well, certainly not much
In response to the question from the man, the young man did not look like he regretted what he had said.
In fact, the mans words were correct.
In terms of common sense in the aristocrats society, the action made by Baron Mikoshiba might be seen as illogical. At the sa ti it showed that Baron Mikoshiba had the power to do just that.
Even if his title was the lowest among the aristocrats, the achievent Baron Mikoshiba possessed was unparalleled.
It was Baron Mikoshiba who helped Lupis to take the throne.
During a defensive battle against Ortoa invasion, he and Elena Steiner were sent as reinforcent to the Zalda Kingdom and he played an important role that caused the two nations to co to a ceasefire.
Not to ntion, Baron Mikoshiba Ryouma had defeated Earl Salzberg who had dominated the northern part of the Rozeria Kingdom for all these years.
Regardless of his rank, he was one of the big powers in the Kingdom.
As of now, aristocrats who were trying to fight against Baron Mikoshiba Ryouma head-on were probably those with more influence or those stupid nobles who wanted to die.
Besides, the letter of invitation also had a joint signature from Elena Steiner, Earl Bergston, and Earl Zeref.
It goes without saying, they were people with influence in the Kingdom since Lupis reigned as a Queen.
In consideration to keeping face, it would be bad to refuse an invitation coming from them.
Even if he dislikes the other side since he was just an upstart.
(Thinking about that, I guess we need to think a bit further
The young man sighed looking at his fathers attitude
Th. most uptod/at nvels a/re published on n(0)velbj)n(.)c/o/m
Why didnt they refuse the invitation?
Even the father sitting in front of him should understand.
With that being the case, it was foolish to look dissatisfied now.
Nothing good will co if they showed dissatisfaction toward the other party.
(Well I didnt say that you should accept it and not be feeling dissatisfied I just hope you wont show your dissatisfaction at the table)
One might not say it with words when feeling dissatisfied, but for humans, when they feel dissatisfied, they often ti show it from their attitude to their aura.
Furthermore, nobody knows when or where people would see or hear sothing.
It might be one in a million chance but it might turn fatal if people heard you speak carelessly.
(Well, I guess having him willing to et face-to-face is already good enough I guess)
He was a troubleso man.
However, the young man had no intention of abandoning his father.
In the first place, despite being a nobleman, he was more of a warrior.
Until he inherits the position, he was only a knight belonging to the Royal knight orders, which make his personality straightforward.
If a monster attacked their territory, he would definitely go to the front line and slay the monster.
Setting aside whether it was good or not to send a successor to the front line, for him, only those who are prepared to shed blood for the people who will be highly appreciated.
Regarding his dostic skills, there was nothing remarkable about him, but thanks to his straightforward attitude he manages to gain a certain level of trust from the people.
Among the Rozeria aristocracy, his father was soone who could do much more.
However, the young man this ti wanted his father to use his skill to hide his heart.
(Sothing is going to happen during this dinner The problem is what?)
The question that was occupying the young mans mind these past few days had appeared once again.
The reason why his household had co imdiately to the royal capital was due to Baron Mikoshiba being summoned by the House of Lords.
The reason for his summon was as a witness, but truthfully it was a trial that would be held at the House of Lords.
The cri was that he had caused war in the kingdom and robbed others territory.
Normally dispute of territory between nobles wont turn into sothing this big.
However, not only has this war caused Earl Salzberg to die, it also caused more than half of the families of the northern nobles to end with literal discontinuities. It is because of that the image the nobles had toward Baron Mikoshiba Ryouma was the worst.
There were none among the mbers of the House of Lords who wished to save Baron Mikoshiba.
One might consider the invitation was to improve relations between them, but everyone knew that one dinner wont improve relations imdiately.
Just like the relationship between commoners and their lords.
How much ti they spent ti together decided how close the relationship between them.
Of course, there was special circumstance like in an action movie where two strangers got close because of the situation in a short ti, but unless there was a special circumstance, sothing like having a close relationship in a short ti was near impossible.
(If Baron Mikoshiba didnt know sothing that simple then he is a stupid man, but)
Since the ti they had received the letter of invitation, the young man had gathered information related to Baron Mikoshiba Ryouma.
Of course, he might only have the information network of his father who was a viscount, which was not that impressive.
However, from the information they had gathered, it was said that Baron Mikoshiba was not a stupid man.
(But then, why?)
The young man looked anxious while keeping silent.
Whats wrong? What are you thinking right now?
Nothings wrong, I just wondered why Baron Mikoshiba invited us
The young man gazed at the moon floating outside the windows of the carriage while answering his fathers questions.
Black carriages passed the mansion gate one after another.
Tonight, the most splendid banquet was about to be held in Earl Salzbergs villa located at the Royal capital.
