Chapter 177 – Nosferatu (4)
Anyway, after confirming that it wasn’t a big deal for Daisy to be nervous when she returned to her parents’ house–it was a big deal for me–I relaxed too.
None other than my faithful maid, my woman… So, if Daisy, her future wife, was not on good terms with her own family, she couldn’t help but worry.
“Aw~! Can’t we go quickly? It’s a passing road anyway!”
Although Daisy whined.
She calmed her pouting lips by stroking her, knowing that she was whining about her in the first place, knowing that even Daisy was an unfulfilled wish.
It’s a passing road, but it’s not like there’s not much to see here.
“Chi. I do not know. Hug me later.”
“It’s your fault that you left that letter behind.”
“Aang. I don’t know! Please!”
“Yes, yes.”
Even Daisy, who was sad that I didn’t do her favor in the end, now agreed to give me a lot of hugs using that as an excuse.
By the way. Now that I see it, it seems that what Daisy is embarrassed about is nothing else but the fact that she left such an immature letter behind.
After staying in the mansion for the rest of his life, coming out into the world, he realized how ashamed he was of the letter he had left behind.
Well, it was really dizzy for the viewer…
Rather than thinking that the contents of the letter would genuinely anger the family, wouldn’t it be that they were worried that people would make fun of them for writing such an immature letter?
… I thought
“Daisy! You bastard, leave that letter behind and go! Was it good, huh? Wouldn’t that be nice?!”
“Ah, oppa, what are you embarrassing~!”
“Ouch… ! Because you gave up the succession right at will, I became the head of a small household and couldn’t leave the territory without permission! Originally, I was planning to go to Chepeshryeong after the coming-of-age ceremony!”
“What do I know?!”
“Knowing how much this older brother wanted to see the Chepeshu Territory with her own two eyes, you knew—!”
This crest.
It’s really weird.
Seriously, you took the letter from the real Daisy as a victor’s provocation or something?
“Kheuk. If Lady Daisy is a competitor, there’s no way we can win… !”
“We also wanted to go to Chepes… !”
Even those who seem to be collateral, muttering furiously on the sidelines.
What is it really
“I am dizzy.”
“Me too. I don’t hate it though Blindness doesn’t mean it’s good, but it’s nice to be followed like that.”
“…”
Eileen muttered as if she was tired. I added a little while nodding her head. Eileen, who had been dazed for a moment, pouted her lips. “I heard…” She then said with a small grumble.
“Uh, even our old Mage Towers aren’t easy.”
I didn’t really want to get an appeal like that.
I see Just like there are blackwoods in Chepes, are the old elders playing that role in the Mage Tower?
Come to think of it, Kroychev also has Aylanova. Anna’s best friend, Sasha’s family.
I guess you could say it’s a three-generation family.
It is clearly different from other families that received the title of duke just because they inherited the blood of the imperial family.
“Lord, Lord~! Don’t just watch, help me, please!”
Ah. Stop thinking about it. But what I didn’t even have to do was, as soon as Daisy stretched out her hand toward me, the man who was holding her by the collar—Blackwood’s Sogaju, Evan immediately bowed her waist toward me.
“Blackwood’s Sogaju is the real thing—.”
“No, that’s it.”
How many minutes had passed since I was greeted with a grand welcome upon entering, and I would never have thought to bow down again just because my eyes met.
She said earlier that she feels good even if she gets a little tired of Eileen, but shouldn’t she reconsider if this is enough?
“That, in front of His Highness, Duke of Chepes, showed a riotous appearance…”
“I apologized too. It could be because it’s in front of her sister whom she hasn’t seen in a long time.”
The relationship between Blackwood and Chepes is rather peculiar.
It is due to the peculiarity of the continent of Arcadia, to be precise, of the empire. Usually, when the imperial authority is strong, the power of the local nobility is weakened.
However, since it is difficult for an empire that has one continent as its territory to exert its influence on the provinces all over the continent, the power of the lords is also intact, apart from the power of the imperial family.
What is often seen in a state of strong power of local lords is that those who are usually called ‘great nobility’ bring in the nobles of relatively small and weak territories under them.
The representative is Kroychev of the North.
Kroychev, who has been guarding the edge of the north since the days when the empire was once a kingdom, is still the sword that protects the north even though the kingdom has become an empire and its territory has reached the extreme ends of the continent.
The reason for this is that all the territories called the ‘northern’ of the empire were taken under their command.
The moment you cross the northern gate of the capital, the center of the empire. From there, all the territories to the north belonged to Kroychev.
To that end, Kroychev brought all the nobles of the north under his command.
To claim a quarter of the empire as their own.
‘It’s possible because it’s Kroychev, not anyone else.’
The family of the ‘sword saint’ given by the goddess. For the imperial family, who equally inherited the protection of the goddess, there would be no ally as reliable as Kroychev.
In reality, no matter what happened, Kroychev’s betrayal of the Empire never happened.
It has been proven by the history of the last thousand years.
‘Anyway. Anyway, as the master of the north, Kroychev made the entire north under his command, but to the contrary, he didn’t pay any attention to the territory outside the north.’
Friedrich also had its own power called the Mage Tower, but they did not accept other territories other than Friedrich’s territory instead.
Ordinary aristocrats who left their families or did not have a territory came into the Mage Tower and formed a force.
On the other hand, what about Blackwood?
‘It had nothing to do with Chepes.’
The territory is not close, and the family is not related to the blood ghost.
However, Blackwood decided to serve Chepes. Chepes was also willing to accept it.
Long ago, when Kroychev was defending the northern part of the kingdom, it was Chepeshu who saved the isolated Blackwood.
To repay the favor.
“Still, this is a bit excessive.”
The entire estate came forward and fancied Chepesch. Can you? To return the kindness of a thousand years ago, without forgetting it until now, and sincerely trying to repay it.
I thought that was the case when I heard Daisy talk about it, but no matter how much I think about it, isn’t it a bit excessive?
I had only been there for one day, but I was puzzled and went to visit the housekeeper.
Originally, I was going to ask So Ga-joo, who was arguing with Daisy, but when I asked with the nuance of ‘Why are you so loyal to Chepesch? ‘!’ …
Anyway, I found the family head and asked the same question.
“Ah. That is…”
Fortunately, it didn’t seem to be as shocked as Sogaju’s. The head of the household, Logan, hesitated for a moment before answering.
“Originally, it wasn’t to this extent.”
Reverse way. Because something was weird I came to Blackwood for a different purpose, but since I’ve been here, I’ll have to solve this problem before I go.
“Originally, portraits depicting His Highness’s appearance were hung on the wall, books containing His Highness’s biography were published and distributed free of charge to servants, or bards were called to make songs about His Highness’s story so that the people of the provinces could listen to them naturally. It was just enough to make His Highness’ feat known…”
What.
“There have been quite a few ominous things happening lately, so to alleviate anxiety, a stone statue of Her Highness, a small statue of Her Highness that can be reduced to be decorated indoors, and—”
“That, stop.”
The poker face you keep in front of others is broken. I was really embarrassed, and I couldn’t even control my trembling voice.
What did you say now
So, drawing portraits, distributing books, or making songs with bards is normal, right?
Besides, I’m making and distributing my 1:1 size stone statue and my figure right now?
Why?
What’s the reason, anyway?
“Yes? Isn’t that because there is the ‘Cepesh Family’ and now Blackwood exists? Anyone who has forgotten that fact does not deserve to be here.”
Logan’s answer opened his eyes wide, as if he was talking about a very obvious fact, but rather as if he was curious about why.
I felt dizzy for a moment, but asked another question.
“Anyway, are you saying that something anomaly happened?”
“Yes. So, in order not to forget your feelings for Chepes, be more active…”
I don’t want to hear that anymore
When I asked what the hell was going on after cutting off Logan’s brain, he replied with a dark expression.
“… Nosferatu.”
Familiar name.
“Nosferatu is making a mess of the territory recently.”
Anyway.
Because I can’t give you my habit.
