Chapter 341 – 80. Ending, And… (One)
Baron Pomwell, as usual, got up early in the morning, washed his face, and went out into the backyard.
Spring has come in full swing, but the morning air is still cold. However, the baron thought that nothing could be more effective than this cool air to get his mind back on track after it had slacked off the night.
As he walked around the backyard with his hands behind his back, he thought about the circumstances of his daughter, who had recently gone home. Like most married couples, her daughter, who had a big fight with her husband, stayed in Berher for a week, complained for a long time that her husband had taken her concubine again, and then left.
Still, the eldest son in Kronstadt must have been in the eyes of the duke of the fortress, and now he has become a baron at the court and is in the last place in the Great War… The eldest son, who came with the news half a year ago, said he was proud of his younger brother, Allen, and praised him until his mouth dried up. Maybe something special happened between the two.
Allen.
Baron Pomwell, who came up with the name, became increasingly immersed in his old memories.
Who would have imagined that the youngest of three siblings, a guy who was not very good at following women around from a young age, would now become a hero who commands the continent. It was the first instance in which Baron Pomwell, who was confident that he knew how to treat people, had to admit his defeat for the first time. Even that is complete defeat.
Is this why people say you have to watch it to the end?
– I don’t intend to be confined here. I realized when I saw Levala. I will one day go to the heart of the Empire. No, you absolutely have to go.
– In the Empire–! My name-! Allen, Dwise, and Pomwell—! I mean, I’m going to make sure that no one knows!
Decades ago. Baron Pomwell still could not forget the powerful cry of his youngest son, who always shrank.
The first experience of witnessing the birth of a great person who came out of an egg with his own eyes.
Sometimes, when the Baron heard news of Allen, he wondered whether this was his real son or not. Three siblings, all born of the same seed and from the same embryo, how could they be so different? …
At the same time, when he thought of such a great person as his son, his heart couldn’t be more proud. It was a sense of satisfaction and achievement that he had never felt before in his life.
After the early morning walk, the baron had ablution, and then he ate at the restaurant.
Now the baroness, who had wrinkles here and there, covered up all her fine wrinkles with thick makeup for the first time in a while and chatted with her laughing hahaby herself. Today, all the wives gather together and go to the lake to play. . Of course, the baron, who had no interest in playing, only nodded his head a few times indifferently, saying that her wife would take care of it.
After finishing the meal, the baron left the mansion and headed for the guild in the city. As he sat down on a chair in the top office, his heart could not be soothed. … Perhaps even if he were to be reborn, he would definitely become a top lord.
After curing his stomach with a cup of hot tea, he started working in earnest. True to his nickname of worker bug, as soon as he started working, he was completely immersed in it. Like the money ghost Allen’s father, he never skipped a single coin.
Baron Pomwell, who had been immersed in work without getting up from his chair for a long time.
In the baron’s office, someone hurriedly knocked on the door. All the employees working at the upper level are people who have worked with him for a long time, so he doesn’t usually knock on the office door…
“What’s going on?”
– Lily! It’s a floating ship! Floats are coming!
Floating ship!
It wasn’t even the big city of Kronstadt, but the fact that a floating ship was flying into this southern town meant only one thing.
The son of Baron Pomwell, the hero of the continent, Allen Danju is coming!
That’s why the staff must have knocked on the door in such a hurry.
Even Baron Pomwell, who doesn’t blink at most things, became angry at the news that Allen was coming.
How much is this!
It felt strangely that the time from when he first came aboard the float until now had been strangely much longer than the time he had met him after he had left for the first time. In reality, there must be a difference of more than three or four times!
Baron Pomwell rose from his seat. His knee isn’t as good as it used to be, but he’s still going to see his proud and beloved son, and his knee is no big deal!
As soon as the baron went out of the upper building, rumors of a floating boat had already spread throughout the city, and people who had come to see it were walking along the main street.
The moment he left the north gate, the floating boat had just landed. And soon, the stylish footboard came down, and the passengers got off one by one.
“Father!”
Arlen, who disembarked shortly after, checked the baron who was a few steps ahead of the onlookers and ran to him and hugged him.
“Have you been healthy? What about your mother?”
“Your mother, I went to see the lake with my wives today. I will probably be back soon.”
“Okay. Anyway, I’m glad you look healthy.”
“You, too, have become an adult now.”
“Haha, I’ve always been an adult.”
Soon, several more women came by Allen’s side.
One is a viola soloist. She is shown holding her son, Karl, and her newborn daughter, Eve, in her arms.
Next is Charlotte Danju, the younger sister of the lord of Berher Castle. Her belly bulged out as if she was pregnant.
Lastly, Allen – the sub-master of the mercenary corps, Archmage Elena. She, like Charlotte, was also full of stomach.
When Baron Pomwell looked at Allen with a puzzled expression, the money ghost smiled at her father.
“… These are the ‘people’ of mine, Father.”
The father, who had only seen one woman all his life, was stunned when he saw that his son had as many as three wives.
… It seems that he has not been able to overcome the woman’s tendency to follow women around since he was young.
Still, did the hero say that having three concubines is not a flaw? A man named Grenzo, who is close to Allen, is also said to have five wives and five concubines, which is quite acceptable! Anyway, as long as you have the ability, isn’t this imperial law that it doesn’t matter whether you have multiple spouses or not!
The three women bowed their heads to the sharp-looking middle-aged man. In particular, Danju Viola, seeing her father-in-law for the first time, thought that Danju Allen looked very much like her father’s blood color.
“Now, should we say hello to Grandpa?”
Ah.
He had already heard a lot about his grandfather, but when Baron Pomwell strangely saw his grandson, Karl, his heart pounded and his lips twitched.
“Grandpa, hello!”
Dude, you are so smart and handsome! The face resembles my father’s, and the eyes resemble my mother’s!
“… Yes, nice to meet you.”
The baron wanted to say more to his grandson, Karl, who greeted him smartly, but his stiff personality forced his muzzle to stop.
In the meantime, Allen exchanged greetings with the group sent by the Countess. He told Charlotte that she could go to the castle today and get some rest.
“Then, I’ll just sleep for one night.”
“It’s okay to rest for a few days.”
“No. … It’s been a while since I’ve been by your side…”
Due to the nature of the Charlotte-Mercenary Corps, which always wanders outside and takes care of the transportation of the alliance, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are still newlyweds, considering the time Allen and Charlotte were attached. I came back to my hometown with my husband, Allen, after a long time, how can we be apart!
Soon, Allen’s group left for the Count’s castle with Charlotte Danju to greet the Count.
So, Baron Pomwell and his daughters-in-law went to the drawing room of the Pomwell family’s mansion!
Apparently, the baron’s personality wasn’t so kind, and the atmosphere in the drawing room was literally like a graveyard.
In addition, it was time for Eve to suckle Viola, who cried out that she was hungry, and it was time for Elena to rest for a while as she was tired from piloting the floatation line for a long time.
Iron Mask politely asked his father if he could look after Karl for a moment.
“Oh yeah. I am not watching.”
Just like that, Baron Pomwell and his grandson, Carl, were left alone in the drawing room.
Karl, who had been staring at his grandfather with quivering eyes, suddenly rose from his chair and strode toward Baron Pomwell.
Baron Pomwell was strangely burdened by his grandson Karl’s intense gaze, and pretended to be mindful of the tea.
“Grandfather.”
“… Ah, uh, yes. … Did you say Carl?”
“Yes, Grandpa. What’s your grandfather’s name?”
“It’s Doris Pomwell.”
“So, it’s Grandpa Doris!”
… Look at this guy
Baron Pomwell, unlike his other grandchildren who always avoided him, smiled lightly at Carol, who was fiercely in love with him.
“Okay, do you have any more questions?”
“Yes. Don’t do that, do something else!”
“… Something else?”
“It’s a game of warriors! I am a warrior, and Grandpa Doris is a villain!”
Baron Pomwell had never heard of playing hero, and she shook her hand, saying she didn’t know how.
“Just do what I tell you to do. Did you know?”
“… Ok, got it Do what you say.”
· · ·
Arlen, who had been waiting for an audience and greeting her, hurried to her mansion.
On his way to the drawing room, he bumped into Viola in the hallway, who had come out just in time to nurse Eve.
“Ah, honey. … What about Carl?”
“I asked my father to take a look. … Why?”
“… With your father?!”
As a father who only made money all his life, having a child would be a complete bummer!
Allen hurried to the drawing room just in case. And Allen forgot to knock for a moment and opened the door!
“Turn it off! Unbelievable! It’s such a powerful attack! An evil scoundrel like me can’t stand being beaten! Ugh, aaaaa.”
Baron Pomwell collapses fiercely while doing so.
The hero of Karl shouted while holding up a nice tree branch he had picked up earlier.
“I, the hero of Kaal, defeated the villain!”
“You win, Carl.”
Baron Pomwell clapped his hands and stood up, but for a moment, his son and daughter-in-law met their eyes. … And, even the chatty maid with her head poking out next to her!
Uh.
Ah.
Long silence.
… Rumors that Baron Pomwell was inexhaustibly good at playing the villain had spread throughout the mansion in less than a day.
