Chapter 462 – Scandal

“How about staying here for a while?”
After calmly disclosing Cyrus’s gossip, Saren made such a suggestion.
Are you worried about me for revealing Youngju So’s fatal secret?
I decided to accept her favor.
“Thank you. Then, I will be indebted to you.”
I thought it would be better to stay here for a while rather than at Homan’s house.
I thought Cyrus wouldn’t attack her brother so openly.
I also thought that even if that crazy guy attacked, the escort knights in the annex would buy him time.
After finishing the conversation with Saren.
Hilda carefully came to my room.
“Bark… Anything related to the struggle for power among nobles…”
Hilda seems worried about me being involved in the political strife between nobles.
I didn’t originally want to do this either.
But she doesn’t know that I had an accident.
Karen and Hilda are my squires.
I could say that they got caught up in this because of me, regardless of their will.
That won’t happen, though.
If I’m wrong, they’ll be wrong too.
So, I thought it was right to tell Hilda and Karen the full story of the incident.
“… So, you mean… You beat So, Lord So, and knocked him out… And gave him drugs?!”
Hilda’s face turned white when she heard my story.
“Shh! Hilda, your voice is too loud. What if someone hears it?”
“Huh!”
“Cyrus is so arrogant. And the drugs were for him to eat anyway, so you can assume he took them beforehand…”
“What is that…”
“Don’t worry about that gay guy, just go to sleep.”
“Are you sleepy now? How can you not care?”
“Having trouble sleeping at night because of such a crazy person is a loss in your life.”
I lifted Hilda up and headed to her bed.
“Now, wait a minute…”
Together with Karen, I comforted Hilda, who was very worried, all night.

Cyrus woke up with a severe headache.
“Ugh…”
It was so painful that I couldn’t tell where it was.
“This… What… Smell…”
There was a terrible smell in the room.
Cyrus got annoyed and stopped trying to call someone. This is because he could see his furry arms draped over his chest.
Cyrus moved his gaze along her arm with her trembling eyes.
“…!”
I saw a sturdy man lying next to me, naked and with an ugly appearance.
His face was familiar.
His own escort was Knight Dock.
Hehe…”
Dock talks in his sleep and rubs his stiff penis on Cyrus’ thigh.
“Aaaaah!!”
Cyrus unconsciously screamed and ran away from that horrifying feeling and fell under the bed.
-Thump.
“Wow!”
The fall itself didn’t hurt. However, pain rang throughout his body as if he had been hit by someone.
Especially his butt…
Cyrus didn’t understand why he was sleeping naked in the same bed as his escort, Knight.
My memories are jumbled.
However, memories of his sticky time with his escort knight, Dock, came back to him in pieces, cluttering his mind.
“Crazy… Wow…”
The sound of urgent footsteps is heard from outside.
It seemed like his vassals had heard his own screams and were running towards him.
Cyrus’ face became pale.
Because he didn’t want anyone to see this scene.
“Oh, don’t come!!!”
Cyrus shouted urgently.
“Youngju So!”
“Cyrus!”
However, despite his cries, the door was opened and vassals poured in.

Cyrus’ scandal began to spread to Ramona.
He’s a perverted drug dealer who even touches the driver.
I didn’t spread the rumor.
But I think I know who did it.
I think Saren probably did it.
Seeing him do such a cruel thing, he didn’t seem to be a very innocent boy.
To be honest, I also spoke to Saren hoping for this.
In Ramona territory, there was an elite group of knights called the Black Bears.
There was a rumor that Lord So was targeting the knight’s butt, and the support of the Black Bear Knights fell by half.
It is said that originally, about half of the Black Bear Knights supported Cyrus.
It’s surprising that such an idiot received 50 percent support.
However, it can be said that the approval rating has fallen to 20 to 30 percent.
However, if there are articles that stick to Saren, that is not the case.
He is said to have turned to neutrality.
Neutrality means not getting involved in the succession fight and following the words of the person who becomes the lord.
According to Saren, the group of knights had a strong conservative tendency, and they supported Cyrus, his eldest son.
‘Don’t these guys know what will happen to their butts if Cyrus becomes a lord? .’
They are stupid guys.
Despite the fatal scandal, Cyrus’ dominance remained.
No, Simon and Saren’s power was too weak.
Simon, a 2-year-old baby, is still around, but he is a mana being, so he can be said to be Saren’s force.
Saren’s forces were more miserable than I expected.
Articles supporting Saren.
The only two shabby knights and Caria, a one-eyed knight with an eyepatch, were her escorts.
They say it didn’t get to this point originally…
It is said that when the lord fell into a coma, all the knights and vassals who supported him left.
This can’t be helped.
In this situation, if nothing went wrong, it was natural for the eldest son to succeed to the position of permanent lord.
If Cyrus were to become a lord, it was obvious that the vassals and knights on Saren’s side would not be safe.

Bianca was the first wife of Lord Ramona.
And she is a wizard.
She originally served as the exclusive mage of the Ramona estate, but she fell in love with the current lord and married him.
When she got married, she was a 4th circle wizard, but now she has risen to the 5th circle.
Bianca was managing the forces of her son, Cyrus, on his behalf.
After Lord Ramona falls into a coma, she is somewhat involved in the major affairs of the estate.
It was no exaggeration to say that she was now the most powerful person in Ramona’s territory.
Her relationship with her husband, Lord Ramona, was not bad at first.
The problem began when she brought in her second wife, Diana.
And… After Diana and Simon gave birth, their relationship deteriorated rapidly.
Bianca couldn’t forgive her husband, who was trying to hand over his place to Diana’s son, Simon, who was not her own son.
Bianca is a wizard.
She was smart, and she had abilities.
Attempted to assassinate her husband, Lord Ramona.
The assassination of Cyrus’ rival, Simon, could have been simpler.
For Bianca, her sense of betrayal toward her husband was greater.
And if her husband disappears anyway, her eldest son Cyrus will become the lord.
She thought that whether it was Simon or Diana, everything would be resolved at once.
Bianca’s assassination failed.
But she achieved half success.
Yeongju fell into a coma.
The leader of the Black Bear Knights belatedly issued a strict alert and kicked out the lord’s wives and the lord’s children to a separate building.
The leader of the knights who maintained neutrality was a person who could not be trifled with even by Bianca.
Any further assassination attempts were dangerous.
Still, Bianca felt relaxed because she thought it would be difficult for her husband to recover.
It was only a matter of time before her son, Cyrus, ascended to the position of lord.
Meanwhile, the dirty rumors about her son made Bianca frown.
The atmosphere of the Black Bear Knights who supported Cyrus was also unusual.
Bianca called Emerson, vice-captain of the Black Bear Knights.
“Lord Emerson. Is the Cyrus scandal true?”
“Well, that’s…”
Bianca could tell that the scandal was true by Emerson’s inability to open his mouth easily.
“Ha… The rumors are true.”
“…”
“Lord Emerson, please call Cyrus.”
“Oh, I understand.”

“Boo, did you call me? Mother…”
Cyrus, who was summoned by Bianca, looked very frightened.
“Cyrus, why is your face like that again…?”
Cyrus could not tell her mother, Bianca, that she had become like this after having sex with her escort knight.
“Well, that’s… Ah, it’s nothing.”
When Bianca saw Cyrus’ embarrassed expression, she sighed involuntarily.
“Sigh… Cyrus, when are you going to come to your senses? The person who will soon become Ramona’s lord… Such a disgusting act.”
“Oh, no! Mother! Now, when I woke up, there was that guy next to the dock!!”
“That’s an excuse. What happened to the recruitment of that Bakran knight?”
Bianca saw a duel between a knight named Bark in the arena. Even in the eyes of Bianca, who did not know swordsmanship, she did not seem like an ordinary knight.
Emerson, who had joined the duel, asked about Bark’s skills, and Bianca, who found out that he was quite skilled, instructed Cyrus to recruit him.
“It’s him! That guy…!!!”
Cyrus suddenly curses at Bark and speaks gibberish.
Seeing Cyrus like that, Bianca frowned.
It seemed to Bianca that Cyrus was still under the influence of drugs and out of his mind.
Cyrus was an incompetent person with no talent for swordsmanship or magic.
If it weren’t for his son, he would have been kicked out a long time ago.
Now it’s a bit more popular than that.
Bianca couldn’t help but be displeased with her son Cyrus, who showed that there was something worse than incompetence.
“Haa… Cyrus. It’s noisy, so shut up.”
“Yes!”
When Bianca’s expression turned cold, Cyrus immediately closed his mouth.
“Cyrus… Are you going to keep disappointing me like this? Do you know how much risk I took to put you in that position?”
“I’m sorry, mother.”
Cyrus’ scandal was not fatal.
Unless my husband wakes up.
There was no disruption to the trend.
However, it can be said that Cyrus went overboard in taking a daughter from a normal noble family as his wife.
“Cyrus… I guess I’ll have to be punished for the first time in a long time.”
Cyrus’ face turned pale at Bianca’s words.
“Oh, mother! Please forgive me!!”
-Just right!
Bianca ignored Cyrus’ desperate expression and snapped her fingers with her indifferent eyes.
“Aaaaah!!”
Bianca just stared with cold eyes at Cyrus, who was writhing like a bug, writhing in pain.
