139. I don’t like bloodshed

Lake, a manor city nestled in the southern tip.

A place where the land is not very fertile and does not produce many crops.

So it didn’t prosper agriculturally, but instead it has a pretty decent port.

Thanks to that, Lake Manor’s income was slightly better than other nearby cities.

The noble who rules this place is Baron Raman.

The evaluation of him can be said to be just average.

If you look a little closer, he was a typical aristocrat with the idea of the chosen people.

If I didn’t satisfy even a little bit, the lord’s disgrace fell.

And the same was true for not respecting the nobility.

So people lowered their heads and held their breath whenever he went around the territory.

To them, it was only natural that Baron Rahman was just such a person.

However, the baron considered his evaluation of himself to be very generous.

I don’t collect taxes very viciously like other lords.

Because they are collecting taxes at a very reasonable level.

Of course, except for the tax paid to the royal family.

Most of them were being used for the Baron himself.

Either building a castle, doing garden work, or buying a new wagon.

When he or she holds a grand wedding for her children.

Of course people know that.

He is a person who would waste a few pennies for themselves.

Even if the facility is damaged and time is delayed, the damage accumulates intact.

He is the one who only collects taxes until the end, leaving everything to the people.

But Baron Rahman had a completely different idea.

‘There won’t be a lord as good as me around here.’

If a storm blows and the boat capsizes and a few people die.

Sometimes they deliver some money, especially as a consolation money.

We changed wagons, prayed for no accidents, and distributed food and alcohol.

He used to say confidently that there would be no other lord this good.

Even though he claims to be nothing more than a baron.

He

Is such a great man that I thought he had nothing to lose.

“Gee, now… What, what did you say?”

Until someone suddenly came to the lord castle.

“Why are you pretending not to hear? You should have heard it all.”

A very handsome man says that while crossing his legs.

Just by looking at his appearance, it is enough to believe that he is a Young master from a prestigious aristocratic family.

First of all, looking at his face, he is very handsome, but his body is also very well-proportioned.

But judging from the way he spoke and his eyes, it was far from noble, even far from it.

He’s more like a mercenary who’s gone through all sorts of battles than a nobleman.

“Okay….”

A person who has entered without announcing his identity in the first place.

The lord’s castle is also a particularly important place in the territory of the nobles who are granted independence.

Originally, the castle guards and few knights should have stepped up immediately.

But the moment I saw the card that the handsome man held out.

Soldiers and knights stood back in amazement, retracting their weapons.

‘Why on earth is this man here, holding the royal hand….’

Could it be a counterfeit? I even thought of it.

But, well, can you really make that golden plaque with your nerdy skills?

From noble mtl dot com

Dozens of artisans hang each piece and carefully engrave and emboss one by one.

On the other side, the royal coat of arms is engraved very precisely.

It is an item that has been quenched in the first-class holy water provided by the church.

Who can talk about ‘counterfeiting’ while looking at that tile that even emits a soft light?

“Are you really from the royal family?”

“I am not a member of the royal family.

“Cooperation, what do you mean by that? .”

If this was an area close to the capital city, you might have guessed the man’s identity.

Someone said to be the teacher of the warriors appeared, and he was invited to the royal family several times.

After that, he said he took his disciples and disappeared to the south.

But this place was far, far from the center.

It is said that people come and go, but it should be regarded as sparse.

As a bonus, Baron Rahman was very insensitive to such news.

“Isn’t that what’s important?”

“… It’s not that I just couldn’t hear you. But the content is too nonsensical. You want to arm the people here and teach them how to fight? Do you, by any chance, think of treason?”

It can be seen that Baron Raman’s words are very valid.

It is true that nobles are given autonomy over their domains.

There is no problem with taking off your clothes and going wild, or pooping in your pants.

However, there are clear limitations on the number of enlisted soldiers that can be retained.

Because it can directly harm the kingdom’s security.

Because it is a means to directly challenge the authority and control of the royal family.

It is a natural result to place a limit on the number of enlisted soldiers.

‘It is said that the situation on the continent is very chaotic, but in the case of the Baron’s territory, there are many restrictions on the number of enlisted soldiers, at most a hundred. But what? Arming and training everyone? If we do that, at least the number will reach thousands?’

Even aristocratic families can have only a thousand enlisted soldiers.

If you go beyond that, a warning will come from the royal family right away.

To do it in moderation, I won’t be idling on any longer.

If you don’t reduce the number, you will be labeled a traitor right away.

Shortly after, other nobles rush in and bite.

Even though his territory is in a remote place.

Anyway, there are definitely people who come and go here.

But all of a sudden, all the people in that territory were armed.

And what if there are rumors that they don’t stop there and even conduct military training?

“I misunderstood.”

With those words, Iris, who was standing behind, showed something to the baron.

It’s a letter that looks great at first glance, but it has a seal on it.

The seal of the royal family, which means that whatever this is, it can be judged as the king’s order.

“Heo Eok!”

The moment he saw that, Baron Rahman immediately fell to his knees.

Although the power of the royal family has weakened considerably compared to before.

For such a rural aristocrat, it is still a place with great power.

It was like a worthy ruler who was given the right to rule from heaven.

“If I could tell you about this person, he is the teacher of the currently active warriors. This time, His Majesty also received the will that many parts can be ruled by the king’s order.”

“That, that….”

“If there is any doubt, I will confirm it. Senior? Could you please come out for a moment?”

At Iris’s words, something suddenly lingers next to Baron Raman.

At first I thought it was just the shadow of the baron.

The dark thing suddenly soared and took shape.

“Ughhh?!”

Of course I can’t help but be surprised, that’s a natural reaction.

So Baron Rahman jumped up from his seat screaming.

“Hey!”

The funny thing is that the black figure was also surprised and behind my teacher.

The point was that he hid behind Namgung-hyeon, who was standing in front of the baron.

“Senior!”

“No, I’m scared.”

“You can’t be afraid of seniors! As a hero, that’s what you’re doing! Hurry up and stand out!”

“Ha, but scary. Just a freaky scream….”

“You know how to cut monsters neatly!”

“Because it can be praised by Master….”

Baron Rahman couldn’t easily accept what the situation was.

Then, one thing came to my mind from the word hero.

There are many warriors in the world, but one of them is really secretive.

It moves secretly like a shadow and only works alone.

It was said that they pop out of nowhere and then disappear somewhere.

‘No way.’

There was really no one beside him until a while ago.

Then the woman suddenly jumped out.

As if it were the existence that lived in the darkness, the shadow itself!

“Maybe… Are you really Umyeong?”

Umyeong, another name for the hero of poison.

It wasn’t the poison hero himself who answered that, but her sister-in-law, Iris.

“Then what does it look like? Seriously, how can you be noble because you don’t have eyes to see like that?”

“… Who are you to say that? Are you the one who serves the warrior?”

It seems that doubting his aristocratic status was bothering him.

Otherwise, Iris seemed a bit easygoing.

If you are not the hero himself, you can see the meaning of stepping out appropriately.

At Baron Rahman’s words, Iris patted her chest as if she was amazed.

“Baron? I am also a warrior. Cover up your words and do it.”

“… Are you a warrior? You mean?”

“Eh, even the youngest is a hero! If you doubt me, I will get angry!”

It was Esther who shouted that with only her face sticking out.

Thanks to that, Iris is shrugging, ‘Look at that.’

On the contrary, Baron Rahman felt her head getting more and more confused.

Something is quite strange, but I don’t think it’s fake.

There is even a written order with a seal on the pass issued by the royal family.

In addition, the appearance of a woman wearing a hood is something that is difficult for ordinary people to accept.

There was a very high possibility that she would be the hero of the poison, which was said to be hard to see.

“Well, if you don’t believe me, I can quietly turn it off like this.”

Lastly, that one word from Namgoonghyun was decisive.

I’ll leave as it is now, but when you come back, you’ll definitely be f*cked.

I will definitely make you a dick.

So Baron Rahman quickly and politely put her hands on her stomach.

As I bent her back 90 degrees, I threw out her pride and everything.

“No. Dear If you say you don’t believe it even though you’ve done this much, wouldn’t that be the same as a guy with no eyes? I will greet you formally, albeit belatedly.”

“Until a little while ago, you seemed suspicious all the time.”

Despite Iris’ grumbling, Baron Raman only smiled hahahaha.

Although he has the pride and sense of authority as an aristocrat.

I have no intention of boasting about it even in front of the hero.

I’ve heard of it, but it’s highly likely that it’s been corrupted.

It is said that there are not one or two nobles who have been destroyed by reckless treatment of the hero.

That would be true, but if that teacher was really right in front of you.

For no reason, I would stiffen my head and then just branch his neck.

You can tell the teacher’s way just by looking at the disciples’ actions.

“Ha ha ha, that was a natural wariness as a landlord. Please consider it that way and please be kind. If you sit down, our butler will quickly make tea….”

“Let’s put aside the ostentation and ostentatiousness, and let’s get to the point.”

I lost points in the hospitality part in the beginning.

I was trying to make up for that lost point in a hurry.

Anyway, it seemed that the teachers of the warriors were definitely teachers.

“If you do what you are told, there will be no bloodshed.”

“Bloodshed… You mean?”

“If you don’t listen to me with nice, nice words, I might hit you. If you hit it like that, you might bleed a little. That’s why it’s called bloodshed, so don’t be too nervous.”

Namgoonghyun said that hahahahaha! She laughed.

Actually, his fists were never those of a laughing man.
