Chapter 51 – Chapter 4 – Old Ties
No matter how Klaus he is, he can’t get rid of all the shit.
Even if he repeats the return to life after dying, even if he continues to build up his skills.
Even if you are the creator of everything in this world, in the end you only have one body.
There was a limit to how much they could clean up if countless of them packed the barrel.
‘Let’s make it. A few nobles worthy of a man that I can use.’
Fortunately, even human aristocrats are not all scum.
Right now, there are few people who have right thoughts like President Ruscal, but they definitely exist.
One unfortunate thing was that President Ruscal was not from a very powerful family, so there were many parts that were very ambiguous to use.
If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to support a decent guy from a high-ranking family in the first place?
Klaus thought so and searched for nobles in the kingdom and empire.
Ability is also ability, but first of all, a person who is not as good as an animal is unconditionally out even if he has good talent.
One of them was the Marquis Darnell Kienmeyer, who is next to Klaus right now.
Most of the characters in the novel were men referred to only as the Marquis of Kienmeyer.
‘He’s loyal, doesn’t betray, has his own abilities, and above all, is kind. He’s nice too.’
Originally, as a kind-hearted marquis, he was the Marquis of Kienmeyer, who was in the position of a pitiful victim 1 who was swayed here and there by the treacherous vassals before being killed by Yulia.
Klaus, who decided that such a part was definitely regrettable, secretly pushed him in the middle of the continental war, making him one of the few nobles among the commanders who sounded the news of victory.
It was easy to get along with him because he was a man who was not very sympathetic to the privileges of the aristocrats.
In addition, he even received help from Klaus in this and that, so it could be seen that the current Marquis of Kienmeyer had become a strong supporter of Klaus with strong power.
“Ki, why is the Marquis of Kienmeyer here…”
It was the aristocratic investigation team that stuttered to the end in embarrassment.
Obviously, Archduke Joseph entrusted them with the mission of the investigation team and at the same time placed a secret order to bring the cause to completely crush the common people.
There was absolutely no word that other nobles would follow suit.
But why is that man who is said to be the first among the nobles of the kingdom to come here!
“When I think about it, I am anxious. Right now, not only humans, but other races, among them, the people who sent the investigation team to the Continental Academy, which is said to be full of really great people, are all from families that fall short. I was worried that the cadets and professors here might be offended, so I secretly followed them. As a member of the axis of the noble council, I have the right to do so.”
The faces of the aristocrats hardened all at once at the word, “A falling family.”
It was obviously a word mocking them, but I couldn’t refute it.
The Marquis of Kienmeyer is a family that holds power that even among the current aristocrats, they cannot dare to recklessly.
The people who could directly talk to him right away were the king, the prince, the Grand Duke Joseph, and a little bit of everything.
If you expand the scope to the empire, the number will increase, but the empire and the kingdom are keeping each other in check, so it’s out of the question.
“Why are there no answers? Do you have any complaints about what I said?”
Say something if you have. ‘Cause I’ll listen
However, after saying that, you take responsibility for the aftermath.
The nobles immediately lowered their tails as their eyes flashed with just such emotions.
“Oh, no.”
“No, Marquis.”
“Yes. There shouldn’t be of course there shouldn’t be But I have a lot of complaints about you. Not too many.”
Staring at the Marquis of Kienmeyer who said that with a calm smile, the nobles and knights dispatched to the investigation team, as well as the eunuch cadets, were frozen.
Because they know very well who they provoked a while ago.
And it was because he knew very well that the prestigious nobleman in front of him, the Marquis of Kienmeyer, had a very close relationship with the commoner they had ridiculed.
“Is it true? I mean, you’ve already made up your mind and tried to proceed with the investigation.”
“Hu, Marquis, that’s…”
“I want answers, I don’t want to hear anything else. This is not a request, but an order given to you, the most insignificant of you. I don’t want to use my authority even at the academy, so please answer honestly. It’s comfortable for each other.”
It’s not just high rank.
The Marquis of Kienmeyer is a noble commander who sounded the news of victory.
Therefore, unlike those who were naturally pushed out after the war, it is safe to say that they have continued to grow in the military and now have reached the peak.
Everyone knows that he is very close with Klaus.
However, to push him out is to push the same nobles out, and the number of people who can touch the marquis family is on one hand, and he is a person who won the war, so the support of the military is high.
For this reason, the nobles desperately hoped that the Marquis of Kienmeyer would hold the hand of the other nobles rather than the sunken Klaus.
‘Yeah, fuck it.’
I could say that was just the right word.
If Klaus was the Marquis of Kienmeyer, who would lose his job just because he was kicked out of the military and had an academy professorship, Klaus would not have pushed him in the first place.
“Go back.”
“Yes?”
“Huh, Marquis!”
“Don’t look any worse and go back. Come on, don’t tarnish the honor of the proud nobles you so much seek.”
“It can’t be! We are the representatives who came under the order of Archduke Joseph, according to the conclusion of the noble meeting. Even if it’s the Marquis of Kienmeyer, if you come all the way here and treat us forcefully, the other nobles and the Grand Duke will…”
“What are the other nobles saying? What will the Grand Duke do?”
It was a word that could turn all the nobles into enemies.
But that’s not an unfounded confidence, it’s not something I’ve said once.
The Marquis of Kienmeyer was a great nobleman with the power and power to deserve it.
‘Damn it!’
The nobles bit their lips and watched Klaus, who stood beside him and giggled.
The power of the Marquis Kienmeyer himself is enormous, but the reason he can be so confident is because he is close friends with Klaus.
As a result, veterans from the Confederate Army as well as commoners praised the Marquis.
He is different from other nobles, so isn’t our hero, Commander Klaus, keeping him close to him as a friend? What for this reason
Because of this, no person in the kingdom could do anything to the Marquis of Kienmeyer.
Attacking him meant attacking Klaus, and that meant officially declaring war on Klaus’ followers all over the continent.
‘I thought I’d draw a line with Klaus now, because I’m quiet during the noble meeting!’
The reason why the nobles, including Grand Duke Joseph, tried to suppress the commoners using this incident as an excuse.
It was to press down the aristocrats who were conciliatory to the common people, such as the Marquis of Kienmeyer, as a justification and regain the glory of the aristocrats that had been lost.
Klaus, who was a hero from a commoner, was completely exorcised, and his followers are now scattered, so they are ordered to hanji, released from the military, or some are appeased.
I thought that there was nothing to hesitate anymore, so I proceeded with the work once, but I was embarrassed in front of Klaus!
‘Let’s pretend that we can say no, misunderstanding. But these fools…’
It’s an asshole to expect anything from these idiots lying on the bed and pretending to be dead.
The aristocratic investigation team bit their lips and realized that they would only lose if they insisted further here.
I could see it as a situation where I had no choice but to step back, a time when I couldn’t do anything anymore.
In the end, the investigation team ran out of the hospital room as if they were running away.
The Marquis of Kienmeyer, who was watching the scene, spoke to the eunuchs in a very relaxed tone.
If you don’t want to embarrass yourself, just shut up and be quiet.
If you get into trouble with each other due to nothing, think carefully about who will suffer more damage.
“…”
The noble cadets quietly nodded at the obvious threat.
He was afraid of the noble meeting and the name of Grand Duke Joseph, but he was much more afraid of the Marquis of Kienmeyer, who had also won the Continental War.
Klaus, who defeated the ‘human nobles’ side of the investigation team with ‘human nobles’, started walking down the hallway with the Marquis of Kienmeyer.
“Why don’t you just leave everything to me.”
“What.”
“Why did you tell me to be silent and then ask me to come here secretly? If I had just stepped in and stopped it during the noble meeting, you wouldn’t have been insulted by those scumbags.”
“Is that a complaint?”
“Of course! Who can stand insulting my friend like that!”
After all, he’s the perfect guy to get caught with, this.
If it wasn’t for you and me, you would have been properly caught and eaten by other nobles, son of a bitch.
Klaus smiled while muttering that to himself.
During the Continental War, he took him with him, gave him some mental education, and showed him that the world was not easy, so he became a pretty good guy and was playing the role of a helper very faithfully.
“If you did that, you would have been in trouble, Marquis Darnell Kienmeyer.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Imagine that you openly opposed it at the noble meeting. Can the nobles gathered at the table look at you favorably? He must be busy exposing him behind the scenes as a fool who sided with the common people because he fell for strange ideas on the subject of aristocracy.”
“I don’t care about that.”
“Take care. If you’re in trouble, I’m in trouble too.”
“But even if you didn’t oppose it at the noble meeting, in the end, you sneaked all the way to the academy and disturbed it, so there’s nothing else.”
“Not different. Don’t be different A lot of that too.”
At Klaus’s words, the Marquis of Kienmeyer tilted her head.
He meant that he had no idea what the difference between voting against at the aristocratic meeting and sending back the investigation team sent to the academy like this.
At that, Klaus slapped him on the back, saying, ‘You’re a frustrating friend.’
For a commoner to put his hand on a nobleman, even a man in the position of a marquis, other nobles would have foamed at themselves, saying that originally, it would not be enough to slit their throat right away.
“100 million.”
However, the Marquis of Kienmeyer only let out a short scream.
Rather, he insisted on explaining what the hell was different.
“Listen. Imagine that you continued to vote against it on the spot. Would the aristocrats gathered there like it? If you go crazy, you’ll think that the aristocrat is siding with the commoners. Above all, since it is a place full of nobles only, it can be strangely misleading as to what words were exchanged in it.”
“… That’s right.”
“However, by following secretly to the academy like this, I stopped this investigation team from trying to get the justification of catching and extorting commoners without doing the fact-finding they were told to do! If the word comes out, it’s different. He did not blindly take the side of the common people, but tried to protect the honor of the nobility. Well, the story will go like this.”
Whether they objected at the meeting of nobles or secretly pursued and disturbed them, the result can be seen as preventing the oppression of the commoners by the nobles.
However, in the process, there could be a difference between being openly criticized by the nobles or conversely gaining more social prestige.
As Marquis Kienmeyer listened to Klaus’ words, he nodded as if he understood.
Then, after looking at Klaus for a while, he revealed his true heart.
“Do you have no intention of returning to the kingdom at all?”
“Did I go out because I wanted to go out? I was told to leave, so I left.”
“…”
“I would rather be grateful. For making all the affections I have and those I don’t have fall.”
“I and a few others still think well of you.”
“Then, don’t get politically attacked by other nobles and keep quiet. If you shake me for no reason, I will be in trouble.”
The Marquis of Kienmeyer is one of the cornerstones that Klaus will later pull out.
The Demon King, Julia Agnesa, who killed all human beings, regardless of whether they were babies or old.
She was called a bloodthirsty mad demon, but she was prevented from becoming a serial killer because she castrated the human aristocratic cadets at the previous junction.
That said, it was possible to accept the level of surrender of those who had been verified by the human side.
‘Isn’t it sad to hear that Yulia is a tyrant who will go down in history?’
What she kills is her kill book she wrote down herself, that was enough.
Nobles who would have their heads cut off anyway, because they were so cold and overflowing.
