## Chapter 670 – The Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated Into The Baek Family
“I’ve heard rumors of you all the way over here.”
“Your ears must be sharp.”
“I heard you sided with the prince. I didn’t know you were so interested in politics.”
“It’s a matter of the country. As a noble, isn’t it natural to have an interest?”
“Father said it didn’t matter, but I disagree. If you want to become a vassal of the king, give up your position as heir and go to the capital. What’s the point of having brothers? I’ll support you.”
“Brother, why are you doing this? The heir competition has only just begun.”
“It’s practically over. While you were sucking up to the prince, I fought in over thirty battles. The number of enemies I’ve killed is easily over a hundred. You made a mistake from the start. With this much of a gap, you’ll never catch up to me.”
“Haha. Is that so? Then let’s ask Father.”
I ignored Gent’s words and approached Ention.
“Father, I have a question.”
Ention looked at me. I felt pressure from his stern eyes.
“I’m talking with Princess Eileen right now.”
“I’m fine, Count Prucus. Please talk to the Baron. Ah, if it’s not too much trouble, may I listen in as well?”
Ention looked at me. I nodded.
“It’s not a secret question, so it doesn’t matter.”
“What is your question?”
“Father, you said before that you would pass on the title to the brother who has contributed the most. I want to know which brother has contributed the most currently.”
“I see. You have the right to know. Currently, Gent has contributed the most. Do I need to explain why?”
Gent, standing next to me, had trembling lips. He seemed unable to contain his joy.
“No, I can guess the reason. Then, who is second?”
“You.”
Ention answered without a moment’s hesitation. Gent’s face hardened. He must have thought it was Kyle. Kyle was staying at the main estate, steadily building up his merits by going to the borderlands.
“The third must be Brother Kyle.”
Ention nodded.
“…Father. What is the reason Yujin is second? Yujin hasn’t done much.”
“Yujin supported the army with money.”
“I know that, but supporting with money can’t be the same as fighting on the battlefield. Kyle will be disappointed if he finds out.”
“You don’t seem to know how much Yujin supported. Yujin supported 600 billion Ner.”
The atmosphere around us dropped the moment the specific number was mentioned. 600 billion Ner was more than the annual budget of a decent-sized city.
“No, that can’t be… Yujin had that much money…”
Gent looked at me with disbelief. I grinned at him. Princess Eileen also looked at me with a subdued gaze.
600 billion.
It was hard to earn that much money with the sales of the Korea Trading Company alone. But I had information about the future. I was more certain than anyone that a war would break out, and I didn’t discriminate against illegal activities. More than half of the 600 billion was earned by selling war supplies. There was also the secret fund and business information from the Helbrit Duchy. 600 billion was nothing.
“Father, what is the difference between me and Brother Gent?”
“……”
Ention closed his mouth. He wasn’t ignoring me, but calculating in his head.
“Gent is about 30% ahead.”
“Only 30%…!”
Gent gritted his teeth.
I tilted my head.
“Is there a 30% difference? I guess 600 billion Ner wasn’t enough. I’ll provide more support.”
“No. The money you’ve provided is excessive. There’s still over 200 billion Ner left. The unused money wasn’t counted as your contribution.”
“War consumes a lot of money. Eventually, that money will also become my contribution. If you add that in, what will the ranking be?”
“……You will be at the top. Of course, that’s if Gent and Kyle do nothing.”
“That’s enough for me, Father. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to contribute because I wasn’t on the battlefield, but it was an unnecessary worry.”
“All power is valid in war. I don’t disregard financial power.”
“Yes, Father.”
Gent glared at me, then composed himself. And he smiled.
“Impressive, little brother.”
I would have preferred it if Gent had looked resentful. I clicked my tongue inwardly. Either way, it was true that Gent had the upper hand in the heir competition.
“……You’re the impressive one, brother.”
***
The incident at the entrance of the castle spread among the nobles, knights, and soldiers. The nobles, realizing my immense wealth, approached me with smiling faces. The perception of the knights and soldiers of Utren Castle also changed. They knew I was weak, but they also learned that I was actually rich.
Rumors spread that if I became the Count, the knights and soldiers under my command would become wealthy. It was a rumor spread by Yuria, and it would have some effect. Everyone wanted to be rich.
I pretended to rest while secretly meeting with Gent’s wife, Bibi Heolis. I had barged into Bibi’s room.
“B, Baron Yujin?!”
“It’s been a while, sister-in-law. You’ve become even more beautiful.”
Bibi instinctively took a step back. I understood. It had been quite some time since we last saw each other. Even if we had been intimate, it was natural to feel awkward after not seeing each other for a long time.
Yuria stood at the door, and I approached Bibi and hugged her. Her fresh, light green hair and snow-white skin. Her body, mixed with elven blood, smelled of sweet fruit.
My hands slipped off her dress and burrowed into her skin. Though she was my sister-in-law, she was still in her early twenties. Her skin was soft.
“Haa! Y, you can’t do this, Baron…!”
“Don’t refuse, sister-in-law. This is a sign of affection.”
Her A-cup breasts were a disappointment, but her long legs were enticing. I pulled down her white panties. The light green hairs that had been suppressed by her panties stood up like reeds.
‘Even after seeing it again, that light green pubic hair is amazing!’
I caressed her pussy with my hand. Using heightened sensitivity, it didn’t take a minute for her to get wet.
“Haa… haang. Ang. Baron…!”
“Sister-in-law, I have many questions to ask.”
I took out my dick and inserted it into Bibi’s pussy.
“Haaaaaaang!”
She grabbed the edge of the table with both hands to support herself, so she wouldn’t fall.
“Your reaction… is better than I expected. Like someone who’s been starving for days. Is your relationship with Brother Gent strained?”
“N, no. We have sex more than three times a week… hng.”
“If your relationship is good, then that’s a relief. Then let me ask a different question. Are you satisfied with your sex life with my brother?”
“Th, that’s… haaaaaaang!”
When I grabbed and twisted her clitoris, her pussy contracted and gushed out fluids. Even though I used heightened sensitivity, it was so easy that I let out a sigh. It hadn’t even been three minutes since I put my dick in her pussy.
“Isn’t this a frustrated pussy? Tell me honestly. Have you ever truly felt anything while having sex with my brother?”
“Ugh… No…”
Bibi said in a faint voice, as if a mosquito was crawling, her face flushed. I laughed at Gent, who wasn’t there, and slapped her butt.
Slap!
“I will satisfy your desires, sister-in-law!”
I vigorously moved my hips.
After satisfying Bibi a few times, I asked her about Gent and what had happened in Utren Castle. She answered my questions diligently, even while panting with pleasure. Even if it wasn’t sex, she was in debt, so she had no choice but to answer my questions.
‘Gent hasn’t completely taken control of Utren Castle. Well, the knights and soldiers who have seen Master Ention have high standards, so they wouldn’t easily accept someone like Gent.’
I impregnated her.
***
In the evening, a banquet was held. Usually, a lavish feast would be held, but since it was a period of mourning, they decided to just have a meal.
But then a problem arose.
During the meal, a knight came running in, shouting.
“Count! Enemies have appeared!”
Ention jumped up from his seat. He glared at the knight with sharp eyes and said.
“Explain in more detail.”
“We’ve confirmed the movements of 250 armed enemies in the southwest! They seem to be aiming to plunder the village of Balpre!”
“I will go myself. I will depart with the Taylor Knights. Prepare the horses.”
“Yes, Your Excellency!”
Ention looked around before leaving and said.
“I apologize, everyone. I have to leave first due to some business. Please enjoy your meal.”
“I will go too.”
It was Marquis Petras. Ention glanced at him and nodded.
At that moment, another soldier came running.
“Count! We’ve confirmed the appearance of a pack of Lycanthropes near the Swamp of Evil! The Lycanthrope Lord is leading them!”
Ention frowned. The Swamp of Evil. It was a place where monsters constantly appeared.
Before Ention could speak, I stood up from my seat first.
“Father, please leave the Lycanthropes to me. My Golden Rose Knights and I will exterminate them all.”
“…Don’t think of them as ordinary Lycanthropes. The monsters that come out of the Swamp of Evil are not ordinary.”
“The commander of the Golden Rose Knights is a top-tier Aura Expert. Please trust me. I will bring you the head of the Lycanthrope Lord.”
Ention wouldn’t refuse. He was the one who told me to gain merits. And now it was a time of war. Monster subjugation was also an opportunity to gain merits.
“Alright. But I will not provide any support with soldiers or knights.”
“You’re giving me all the credit. Thank you.”
Bang!
Someone jumped up from their seat. It was Gent.
“Father! I will also lead the Lowrain Knights and subjugate the Lycanthropes!”
The Lowrain Knights were a knight order under Gent’s command. Just like I had created the Golden Rose Knights, he had also created his own knight order.
“……Are you saying you want to compete over the monsters?”
“Yes. I think it’s not a bad idea to compete and see who is better.”
Ention couldn’t criticize Gent. He was the one who had encouraged the competition between brothers.
“……Alright. But remember this. I will not allow fighting between allies.”
Ention went outside. Gent and I glared at each other once before hurrying outside.
***
The horses galloped. On either side of me, Yuria and Floy, wearing armor and riding horses, followed with torches. Behind us, the Golden Rose female knights followed closely.
Running through the darkness was not easy, but we couldn’t stop. Gent and the Lowrain Knights were also running a little ways away.
Further behind, some knights that Ention had assigned were following. They were observers to make sure we didn’t fight.
‘If I could, I’d kill Gent right here.’
It was just a thought. The situation wasn’t good for actually attempting to assassinate him, and I was confident that I could beat Gent in the heir competition. I also wanted to see Gent’s despairing face when I became the Count of Prucus.
After about 10 minutes of galloping, the number of horses decreased and they began to hesitate. While I was confused, Gent and his knights tied up their horses and started running.
“What is it?”
Yuria answered my question.
“It’s because of the influence of the Swamp of Evil. Animals, which are more sensitive than humans, feel the energy of the Swamp of Evil and try not to go near it. It’s a kind of instinct. You can force them to go, but it’s faster to run.”
“There’s no choice. Let’s tie up the horses here and go on foot! Damn it. I’m late compared to Gent.”
I grumbled, but I was relaxed.
I had Yuria and Floy on my side. Even though I was a little behind, there was no reason why I couldn’t catch up.
I got off the horse and started running. Soon, the sounds of battle could be heard. The sound of sharp objects clashing.
The Lycanthropes and Gent’s knights were fighting. Sparks flew as claws and swords collided. The knights’ swords were overflowing with aura, but the Lycanthropes were not intimidated at all.
I looked at the one behind the Lycanthrope pack. It was the Lycanthrope Lord, with a huge body reaching 4 meters and fierce golden eyes, bigger than the other Lycanthropes.
‘It’s more profitable to catch one boss monster than a bunch of small ones.’
