## Chapter 526 – 526. The Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated Into The Baek Family
526. The Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated into the Baek Family
[Sung Yu-jin
Level: 63
Strength: 65 Stamina: 65 Agility: 64 Intelligence: 50 Vitality: 68 Mana: 63]
[Available Points: 116]
116 points.
These were the points left over after the random summon. The points were awkwardly low, and since I had been focusing on Miryeong, I had left them unused.
‘Haa… I already miss Miryeong’s pussy.’
I invested 100 points into a random summon. It raised level 1 to level 2.
I had a vague hope that maybe the points needed for random or confirmed summons would decrease.
But no such luck. The only thing that changed was the cooldown. The 120-day cooldown was reduced to 115 days.
A mere 100 points reduced the cooldown by 5 days. If I thought of it as buying 5 days of time, it was a clear gain, but my mood didn’t improve at all.
‘The remaining 16 points… I have no choice but to do a random draw. New skill, come out!’
It was a bust.
Nothing special came out.
I gulped down a bottle of mineral water that came out of the draw.
•••
I entered the [Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated into the Baek Family] world.
I enjoyed peace in this world.
I spent my days freely harassing the maids in the mansion. They were very satisfying and fulfilling days. There were times when I had to work, but I could finish the work without using my hands by using auto-progress.
“They came to see me from the East? They’ve come a long way. You must have had a hard time.”
In front of me was a young woman.
She was a beauty. Red hair and brown eyes. Her upturned eyes and firm lips told me that she was not a weak character like an ordinary woman.
“So, what’s your name?”
I asked again. It was a question that would feel humiliating enough from her point of view. She was a noble, after all. But she answered without changing her expression.
“Elba Soltes. My father recently passed away from illness, and I inherited his title, becoming the head of the Soltes barony.”
Yuria, who was quietly standing beside me, informed me of information about the Soltes family through telepathy.
The Soltes family was a noble family of knights located in the East. They were a common case of a family that became nobles by earning land and titles for their achievements in war.
And currently, they were a family slowly declining.
I looked at Elba again. She was wearing pants instead of a dress. It was a detail that showed her mindset.
Her skill was mid-level Aura Expert. Considering she was in her late 20s, she could be called a genius.
“I see. Baroness Soltes. What brings you here?”
I spoke casually in informal language. Her title was higher, but my authority was higher. Also, she was the one who needed something, not me.
“I want to become the wife of Baron Prukerus.”
“A proposal. That’s unexpected. Why?”
“I need money.”
“Honest.”
I didn’t feel bad. That was the only reason she would propose to me.
The Prukerus barony was behind me, but I wasn’t the official successor, and as the youngest, I was the most disadvantaged in the eyes of others.
But I had money.
It was a well-known fact that I was the owner of the Korea Trading Company, which was generating huge profits in the Rapelli Kingdom.
“Hmm.”
Elba was a beauty. Her red hair was passionate, and her toned body was pleasing to the eye. Her breasts were a C cup, and her hips were large.
But she wasn’t of a high enough status to marry me. Considering my wealth, she needed to have at least a count’s title.
“Marriage won’t work. Is your business done now?”
Elba didn’t panic or back down, as if she had predicted the result.
“I want to borrow money.”
This was probably her real purpose, rather than the absurd proposal.
“Why?”
“You probably already know, Baron. War is approaching.”
I raised my evaluation of her by two levels. There weren’t many nobles who were thinking about and preparing for war yet.
“War… that’s a scary thing to say. Isn’t the world peaceful?”
“War will happen. A grim atmosphere is descending from the North. Also, I have confirmed through my personal informants that smugglers are moving busily.”
“…Let’s say a war will happen as you say. But why are you trying to borrow money from me? Are you planning to take my money and run away to a place where the flames of war won’t reach?”
“No. I need military funds.”
“……”
I was silent for a moment. I couldn’t tell if she was lying or not. The war hadn’t started yet. There was a higher possibility that she would use my money for escape funds rather than military funds.
“Doesn’t the Soltes barony have an army?”
“We do. But it’s not enough. I plan to increase it by at least three times in preparation for war.”
“Why?”
“Our family and territory are declining. The land that was abundant 20 years ago has suddenly become barren. My vassals have said that there will be a famine this year as well. The mages have said that the land is already depleted and there is no hope.”
“Is that so? That’s too bad. So, the reason you want military funds isn’t to protect your territory.”
“Our family started in war. So, we will revive through war.”
In this world, war was a change and an opportunity. For commoners, war was nothing more than a disaster, but for mercenaries, knights, and nobles, it was a path to higher power.
If she made achievements in this war and became a countess, she might be able to obtain fertile land. If she became a countess, she could become a great lord and acquire several more territories.
Elba’s ambition was commendable. But I didn’t know if she had the skills to achieve that ambition.
I glanced at Yuria. I didn’t miss the slight nod from Yuria. If Yuria acknowledged her, then Elba might be a more outstanding woman than I thought.
“How much do you want?”
“I want a total of 50 billion.”
“……Did I hear wrong?”
This world was different from reality. That much money wasn’t needed in war. The territory people who were drafted as soldiers originally belonged to the lord, and even if you paid for food, weapons, and armor, 50 billion was excessive for a mere baron’s army.
“Baroness Soltes. How many soldiers are you planning to mobilize in total?”
“Currently, I lead a total of 6,000 soldiers. If war breaks out, I plan to mobilize twice that number.”
For reference, I, as a baron, could mobilize about 2,000 soldiers. I could mobilize more, but it would put a strain on the territory.
“……Can you handle it?”
“Our territory is declining. The only thing left is to gain profit from war. If we want to live, that’s the only way. My people and I desperately want war.”
She spoke calmly and brutally.
“You’ve bet everything on war. 50 billion might not be enough.”
“…Yes. If possible, I would like to borrow more than that.”
“What should I believe to lend you money?”
If she died in the war, 50 billion would disappear from this world with her. According to Yuria, she had no family or relatives. There was no one who would repay her debt.
“If you want to borrow a large sum of 50 billion, shouldn’t you at least bring a guarantor?”
Thud!
Elba knelt before me.
“Please. I will definitely repay the debt. I swear on my name, my family, and everything I have. Please give me a chance, Baron Prukerus.”
“……I’ll lend it to you.”
50 billion ner is a lot of money.
But it wasn’t so much that I couldn’t lend it. The Korea Trading Company had already grown to the point where it could handle that much.
I had already decided to lend her the money. If nothing else, I could trust Yuria’s judgment. Her eyes were more accurate than mine.
And Elba was quite a beauty. It was too bad to just let a beauty who was trying to come into my arms go.
“Then it’s time to discuss the interest rate. With this much money, even an annual interest rate of 20% would be a great profit.”
“……20%. That’s too…”
“Don’t say it’s too much. Other merchants would charge at least 30% or more.”
“The war isn’t confirmed yet.”
“Isn’t that why you came to me to borrow military funds, because you’re sure of the war? And it doesn’t matter how much debt you have, does it? If you win the war, you’ll get more spoils than that. Ah, if you have a lot of debt, the spoils you get will be less.”
“……Baron Prukerus. Can’t it be 15%?”
“I’m lending you 50 billion, so I need to get at least a minimum profit, right? If I didn’t lend you 50 billion and invested it, I can guarantee that I would make more than 50% profit next year. I’m already being very generous with 20%. You should be grateful that I’m lending it to you in the first place.”
“……”
Elba lowered her head.
She couldn’t refute my words.
Except for her mid-level Aura Expert status, there was no way to confirm her abilities. Moreover, she was a woman. If it had been someone else, they would have kicked her out as soon as they heard the words 50 billion.
“But depending on what you do, I can lower the interest rate to 5%.”
“……!!”
Elba raised her head sharply.
I blatantly scanned her body. No matter how stupid she was, she couldn’t not know what it meant.
‘Now, how will she react? Will she blush? Or will she harden her face and glare at me?’
It was neither.
Elba smiled. She smiled and slowly began to undress. She didn’t care that Yuria was next to me.
“Thank you for your kindness, Baron.”
Her white naked body was revealed.
Full breasts. Toned abs. Red pubic hair as red as autumn leaves.
I smelled a faint rose scent from her body. She must have finished preparing to be in my arms before coming here.
‘Did she hear the rumor that I like women?’
I spread my index and middle fingers. Seeing my signal, she naturally spread her legs shoulder-width apart. Her neat, bright red pussy was visible. It was still dry, not yet wet. Her labia minora were a bit large.
“Do you have a fiancé?”
“I had one 20 years ago. But as my family declined, the engagement was broken off. I will offer my virginity to you, Baron. I’m sure you’ll be satisfied.”
“Whether I’ll be satisfied or not, I’ll have to try it first.”
I took off my pants and embraced Elba.
•••
I was satisfied.
Elba borrowed 50 billion from me. The interest rate was 5% per year. Her pussy was tight, probably because of her toned body.
“To think she would offer her virginity to me. She’s an amazing woman.”
I said to Yuria. Yuria was wiping the sweat off my body with a soft cloth. I felt more refreshed every time the cloth passed over my skin.
“You lost out. Even if you had said 10%, she would have gladly offered her body to you, Master.”
That’s true.
From 20% to 10%. In terms of money, that was about 5 billion ner.
Logically, 5 billion ner was too expensive to sleep with one woman.
‘But she was a noble. She was born a noble and was an Aura Expert. Her appearance was also outstanding. Normally, it would be almost impossible to sleep with a woman like that for 5 billion ner.’
You could sleep with cheap noblewomen for 100 million ner, but there was no need to pay money to sleep with those kinds of women.
“I liked her sticky pussy, so I unconsciously called out 5%.”
“……If you liked Baroness Soltes, I will bring her to the mansion.”
“It’s okay. She’ll come every month. More importantly, were you jealous just now?”
“No. There is no reason for me to be jealous of such a woman. I am in your arms every day, Master.”
“Your gaze was quite hot for someone who isn’t jealous.”
I lifted Yuria’s skirt. The inside of her skirt was hot. I could see her pure white garter belt and panties. The center of her panties was soaked.
I pulled down her panties and put my finger inside her pink pussy.
“Ah… Master’s finger…”
“I knew you would be wet. But there will be more cases like that woman in the future, right?”
“Yes. Opportunists who are sure of the war will come to you, Master. Hnnng… You must use this opportunity to make allies.”
Those who borrowed money had no choice but to be mindful of those who had money. Someday, they would help me become the Count of Prukerus and rule this kingdom.
“Ah. And Kyle is finally coming back, right?”
“Yes. He is scheduled to arrive at the main family in fifteen days.”
“I should go to the main family after a long time. But before that.”
I pounced on Yuria.
