Chapter 294 – 29. Bitches (4)
It is not yesterday or today that the benevolent Marguerite, the only daughter of the Dior family, shows interest in her youngest child. You can guess from the fact that her family, which she kept in touch with since she entered the convent in the first place, until she returned to the world, is only Roman.
“Security in this city is relatively stable. Crime prevention is excellent, and there is no room for petty disputes over rights. No matter how sinful you are, you might want to do something with great risk but little benefit. In that sense, the direction of your rule is very good.”
The sister, who had hidden her off-white color in plain and neat clothing, brushed her dark brown hair over her ears. I wondered if she was trimming my look with her thin and fine fingers, and then, with her determined eyes at the forefront, she elaborated repeatedly.
“But from the point of view of my sister, the naughty sister of hers is terribly defenseless. If you are a skilled mercenary, you will be able to entrain. There are several monasteries of the Order in nearby Havre or Saint Bourse, so if you get help from the members there, you will be able to achieve your goal without difficulty.”
Thanks to this, the baron, who was enjoying the risky fornication, was not able to fully enjoy the lingering aftertaste and expressed embarrassment. Although he did not raise an eyebrow on most things, he could not help but be surprised by the dark side of his sister, who was always benevolent and loved those around him.
“In short, apart from the security here, you’re saying that with the skills of the writers you hired, you’d be able to secure Mrs. Oriane and LeBlanc without difficulty, right?”
“Among the believers who have taken refuge in the church, there are some who have committed terrible things that would be unspeakable in the world. With them at the head, it will be very easy to secure two new recruits if you organize a skillful mercenary.”
“I’m sorry, but if you do, it may be difficult for your sister to deal with the aftermath.”
“No matter how good doctrine is, it is bound to be far from reality, and we call that gap a gap. As a believer, it would be nice to openly commit a sin, but sometimes there are situations where you can’t help it.”
After all, just because they are religious figures, can they all be sincere and devout? For Marguerite, a woman from a ducal family who had to become a nun, the secret struggle was not a choice but a necessity. The priest who coveted my body in the shadow of faith and the sister who quarreled over power were never alone.
“Rom, I know how you feel. If it was my younger brother who always maintained a noble character, he would probably not be happy with this older sister’s proposal. It’s not like you don’t know the feeling of wanting to cover the person who held the ceremony as much as possible.”
“Not only that. You know that extreme choices lead to extreme results, right?”
“Sometimes you have to accept even that. It’s our youngest job, no one else’s.”
The young abbess grinned. As she comforted her brother, who was trying to dissuade her somehow, she continued as if she had nothing to worry about. The sight of her as she recited an outrageous plan with calm gestures was enough to even evoke awe.
“Now then, shall we copy it?”
Like her parents in a good way, Margaret’s political skills were extraordinary. Anyway, the Archbishop of Gaul is a talented person who decided to be his guardian, so it’s shocking. However, the reason why the famous daughter of the Dior family millennial ball was truly terrifying was her ability to act.
“I will start the plan when the opium requested at the Western Wilderness Monastery arrives. I’ll plant the traces in the sister’s space as evidence, so remember the location. Since the name is a high-ranking aristocrat, the center will dispatch an investigator.”
Within a few years at the convent, where the status of the High House was rather poisonous, she was recognized for her theological authority. If she hadn’t chosen her transformation, she would have been reborn as a symbol that would never exist again in the western part of the continent, listening to the sound of her saint’s second coming.
“After coming to the north, the monasteries of Havre and Saint Bour were already under my influence. I would like to think of a storyline in which two people who are tired of the world are taking a break in an area that was previously under lockdown. After coveting endless things like drugs and power, I encountered the heavenly gods and felt the true worth of life.”
“How can you convince me…”
“Many people mistakenly believe that their will is as strong as that of the hero in the story. But most of them are easily compliant once they know what is going to happen to me.”
Marguerite Dior’s duke was a so-called admonition. It was meant to induce a power vacuum between Oriane and Henrietta so that Rome could wrest real power from them. To spread rumors about the rather coercive kidnapping, and secondly, by making full use of the influence of the Celestial Church, which would be sad.
There are many cases in which nobles who have awakened their strength become addicted to their opium and ruin their bodies. It’s even more so when you’re intoxicated with power and committing acts of resentment and resentment.
Therefore, the abbess wanted to transform the two wives into villains drunk with drugs and power. Not that she wasn’t, but because she actually looked that way in her own eyes. And she didn’t want to do any direct harm to her kind-hearted brother, so as not to make them feel guilty.
‘Uh, so the abbess instigated a scandal between the madam and lady leblanc, and then set up a frame for the two of them to change their minds and rehabilitate themselves in the monastery. In the meantime, the owner, who devoted himself endlessly to her wife, naturally took over the real power of her estate…’
Françoise, who stopped serving in an unusual atmosphere and was hiding, thought to herself. I was conscious that my whispers could be heard without the need for words thanks to the object plugged into the large, still erect object.
‘Isn’t the problem that the real power of the Marquis Command was already in the hands of the owner a long time ago?’
It was. For Rome, who took her mother and daughter as well as her sisters as his female companions, Margaret’s plan was a handshake that weakened his position. The problem was that, due to his sister’s personality, if he explained such a situation, he would most likely be quietly angered and preached about the true value of an ascetic life or ideal chastity over several days.
No, it’s better than that.
There may be something against me like a lie of friendship from the past. At least, Roman thought so. It was a result he wanted to avoid at all costs, as he hoped that his dear sister would not return to the capital in the atmosphere of the continent, which was getting worse day by day.
“… Shall we return to the subject for a moment?”
Uncharacteristically nervous, the baron opened his mouth with a cautious expression. He evoked her atmosphere by putting her issues in her mouth, which she still needed her sister’s permission, while cautiously approaching her to persuade her, who never backed down on her decision once.
“It’s not like yesterday or today that my sister is worried about this ugly little brother. I know very well that the fact that she did not leave her homeland after her wedding was because she was worried about whether I was managing my honeymoon life well.”
“It is. And if you don’t feel uncomfortable, it’s my honest feeling that I want to watch until my sister is relieved.”
“Although I am now the founder of the Ardennes family, I have never seen Dior. And my sister has always remained a great force in my life. Rather than being uncomfortable, I want you to settle down here at all.”
Margaret twitched her eyebrows. It was because the words of her Rom came as a great comfort to her, who in her heart thought her own intervention was frowned upon. The abbot, who did not show off her face because of her face, but was already welling up inside her, looked at her baron with deep eyes.
“This is my heartfelt message. Of course, in order to do that, my sister’s will must come first, and as long as she holds the title of head of the abbey, she needs to consider whether the tasks she has to perform can be done here in the frozen land.”
“Of course I am welcome. I am very happy.”
“However, on the premise that all the prerequisites have been achieved, if my sister is willing to settle down in the frozen land and live happily ever after like me, please return it to me as an honor to create such an environment.”
“What does that mean?”
“Contrary to what you think, the relationship between Oriane and me isn’t that bad. And the political struggle over the actual power of the Margrave is also centered around the Ardennes family, contrary to what it looks like on the outside. So, how about giving me a little time?”
In fact, Lemoang’s mother and daughter are my family. Henrietta is the newly acquired female. There was no way he could reveal such a truth, so Rom did his best to mix the truth with lies. I sincerely expressed my desire to settle down in the frozen land for my sister’s safety, and at the same time, I decorated it by lowering my status appropriately.
“Rom, I know you want to avoid going against your morality, but the sooner you make a decision like this, the better.”
“Of course I know. But I’m no longer the little kid who followed my sister like I used to. I have my own life plan, so now I want to be respected for that. I want to show that I have stood tall as an aristocrat and a man by doing it coolly. In that sense, I ask for a reprieve.”
“I know what you’re talking about, but I don’t think it’ll be hard to break your sister’s stubbornness with that.”
“Then please defer your decision until the upcoming dinner party. I’ll show you how much my family revolves around me. In addition, if my sister really intends to settle down in the east, I would like to ask for permission in advance. Let me hire Nanny Anais and Uncle Leonard from my family.”
Marguerite, who was conflicted for a moment, let out a deep sigh as if she couldn’t help it. In response to her frustration, she got up without saying a word and headed to her doorway. She glanced back at Rom, who was holding her breath in her nervousness, and her brain went blank.
“Only this time, Rom.”
“Is it possible?”
“Phew, then I guess noona should prepare in her own way.”
Before the abbot, who repeatedly looked disapproving of her, let her nag, she opened the door and stepped out as if to leave her seat.
“…”
“…”
Rom, who sat and saw her off with her stiff smile, was able to relax her after a long time.
“Well, what are you going to do now? Judging from what the abbot said, it seems like you’ve made up your mind completely.”
“First of all, I should show off that I hold the real power as much as possible so as not to offend my sister.”
Why was a knight who had once defeated an army with her single body unable to move against her sister?
“Really, I will die without living up to my name.”
“… Shall I suck it up for you?”
“Yeah, don’t forget to breastfeed.”
It was very confusing.
