Chapter 968 – #208_Scandal (4)
#962
One.
Two days after Dandelion, the gossip of Gehenna, delivered a shocking news about Shin Si-woo.
Originally, the private life of a celebrity is a good topic to chew, bite, taste, and enjoy.
Moreover, as the content itself is shocking, Shin Si-woo has risen to the ranks of many witches.
From Border Town to Ars Magna Town.
From street bars to secret private salons.
No matter where I went, the story of the male witch’s infidelity never ceased.
Public opinion was the worst as the matter was a matter, and the arrow of criticism was about 90% toward Shin Si-woo.
The remaining 10% was dispersed and poured out towards the lovers.
This must have been the witch’s unique sense of identity.
Historically, witches have been ‘female’ for a long time, whereas Sinshiwu, a male witch, is no different from an outsider to the Gehenna witches, so she can swear a little more comfortably.
None of the bars inside the grounds of Levana Baths were much different.
The witches who had gathered since broad daylight opened magazines and chatted noisily.
“So. It was definitely weird. I also saw Evergreen and Shin Si-woo taking a walk, but I couldn’t see them as friends, right?”
“Right, you know what? Didn’t that man stay at the same lodgings as Duke Tiphareth before?”
“Some people have seen the two of them walking hand in hand.”
In fact, it cannot be said that there have been no witches who have been aware of Siu’s wanderings with women.
No matter how careful Siwoo is, he will show a gap at least once unless he comes in and out at all.
But until now, saying it was a different matter.
Shin Si-woo’s behind-the-scenes is no joke to talk behind his back.
If you tarnished your honor in a situation where there was no solid evidence, you might be challenged to a duel.
He didn’t want to handle Count Gemanai’s sad anger either.
“In the end, he was just like any other guy.”
“Isn’t it that you only believed in your smooth face and gave it to me all over the place?”
“Maybe you didn’t even write your thesis as a dick? How many witches can you ask?”
“That won’t be it. Rumor has it that the thesis audit the other day was pretty good.”
However, since the plate is laid out like this, you and I can chew to your heart’s content.
How can you deal with all these witches?
Even if they did, it would only be like spitting in the face of the person caught up in the scandal.
“I was really shocked. Personally, I respected Duke Tiphareth. Even if you are a temporary disciple…”
“Shhhhh, no. That’s not right. Lower your voice.”
While chatting about her behind her back, the witch pretends to zip up her mouth.
Gehenna is narrow.
In addition, there is a link between Gehenna witches and each other.
With a little exaggeration, it would be no exaggeration to say that if you cross five bridges, all witches know about it.
So who is Duke Tiphareth?
He is respected by many witches.
There were countless witches whose lives were saved by her, and witches who resolved her silver wish.
It’s just that you have to scratch it to get rid of the sparks.
Under such calculation, the four witches, who had been heated up in gossip, took a sip of alcohol for a while.
Taking advantage of the short silence, a sarcastic remark was heard.
“Sneaky bitches anyway. Those bitches who can’t speak openly in front of you are like that.”
“That’s right, unnie Alice.”
“Is that why the natives of Gehenna can’t do this?”
“What? Who is this?”
“Grow. You stupid bitches.”
The character who appeared with silver hair that shimmered like metal was the ‘mercury witch’.
It was Alice Ibn Khayan who was kidnapped by Hexenacht with Shiu and miraculously returned to life with Mana Malisha.
I owe Shin Si-woo a lot.
She not only forgave the attack in the labyrinth for money, but also took responsibility for escaping from Hexen Nacht to Mana and Malisha.
Thanks to him, she was freed from Rosie’s malevolent hand and gained the citizenship of Gehenna.
As much as she is a 20th rank grand witch, recently she has been scouted by the Emerald Tablet and has been in luxurious trouble.
To Alice, Shinshiwoo is a benefactor who can risk her life for her at least two or three times.
She hears such a benefactor gossiping, so can she remain calm?
“How about having sex to your heart’s content? Do you live in a chastity belt?”
Ellis nodded her head in a rogue manner and wandered into her signing room.
Mana and Malisha also lined up left and right, creating a threatening atmosphere like Iljin.
“What are you?”
“I tried to hold it in for a while, but seeing what you guys are doing, I can’t stand this.”
“Aha? Are you from exiles?”
“Somehow, I heard that the smell of criminals is full of it. Did you come here because you have money?”
Unkind eyes were directed at the deportees who had been restored to citizenship.
They are the characters who were engraved with the scarlet letter, whether in the past or in modern times.
Well, that’s nothing to be concerned about, and Alice knew a good way to win this quarrel.
“Will it come?”
“… ?”
“Tell Siwoo Shin that you guys were peeling pumpkin seeds from behind? You guys know that she killed the witch of the reverse sky, right?”
“…”
The four of them shut their mouths.
As a disciple of Tiphareth, there were rumors that Shin Si-woo’s fighting skills were excellent.
Even if it’s when you’re hiding behind the crowd and whispering, you don’t want the news to come from an acquaintance who pointed out, “They talked about you behind your back.”
“When I was just sucking my fingers in Gehenna, he was the one who took the lead in solving worldly problems. They treat you like an idiot for just having a harem. Hey, I think you guys are more assholes.”
“What does an outcast know about honor…”
“What.”
Even the timid murmur died down as Alice met her eyes.
After all, the fact that Alice has been restored to citizenship of Gehenna and that she is the Archwitch doesn’t change.
In the meantime, gossip Dandelion put in new firewood.
It is said that Shin Si-woo was awarded the title of Baron.
It was a move that could not be understood by common sense.
Regarding the awarding of the title itself, it is understandable since there is no provision such as ‘do not grant a title to someone who is surrounded by lust’.
However, if he was sane, he wouldn’t have accepted the title of baron in such a situation.
“Tsk tsk how greedy you are for nameplates.”
“Snobs do.”
“I heard you even bought the Tiphareth Mansion to create the Society? It must have been too late to step out. Wouldn’t they have decided to go with an iron plate on their face?”
“You might have thought that with time, everything would be forgotten and only the title would remain.”
“Hmph, who would recognize such a baron as a baron?”
“Right, right.”
It was an era of great gossip.
Around that time when your ears tickle without rest even if you stay still.
“Shin Siwoo. You are the best too I thought it would be completed to this extent in just two days.”
Takasho’s eyelids trembled and he couldn’t contain the thrill.
Would it be like this if the best artisans met the best materials and sculpted the best rare masterpieces?
“Thank you.”
Siwoo also smiled and put his fists together.
The part that Takasho pointed out was the mind control part.
First of all, the first piece of advice is to inspire confidence, which is the biggest part of a man’s charisma.
‘When I see you, you’re always secretly scared.’
‘It means that the servile spirit is embedded in the body during the 5 years of slavery.’
‘It’s obvious, but you shouldn’t be intimidated unconsciously. You’re not trying to serve customers, are you?’
This was a way to break the suppressor in the unconscious.
Of course it won’t be easy.
Five years is by no means short, and even Takasho, who had a relatively smooth life as a slave, couldn’t get rid of it completely.
‘Think of when you have sex! Siwoo Shin: Were the witches you ate strong even on the bed?’
‘When dealing with witches, always think of this place as being on the bed.’
‘To put it bluntly, I think of all the witches I deal with as opponents who can be conquered.’
However, Siu has already conquered countless witches in bed.
Therefore, Takasho actively drew on Shiu’s experience.
‘There’s no need to try too hard to be perfect.’
‘Lets think! After all, witches’ manners have long been reserved for witches, right?’
‘What if you, a man, can cover up a little mistake with the atmosphere? On the contrary, it allows for a much more natural lead than when it was too stiff in formality.’
The second piece of advice is to give up perfection.
Albireo tried to make Siwoo like the Grand Duke of the North.
However, as has been proven many times, even if you have perfect etiquette, charisma doesn’t come out.
This is because there is too much worry and awkwardness.
Siwoo gains naturalness instead of giving up perfection.
This transformation was well received by Count Adonai, who participated as a pastime.
The result was so satisfying that I just accepted the title of baron.
This was an arbitrary choice by Takasho and Shiu.
Even if you run away from here, there is nowhere to retreat.
If so, the strategy was to raise the stakes and aim for a high return.
“Even if it becomes ashes. Let’s go to the end of the sky friend.”
“It is only you. Takasho.”
While the two men deepen their friendship.
Hearing the news belatedly, Albireo hurriedly rushed to Takasho’s host bar.
“Siwoo-kun! What are you thinking!”
I couldn’t believe it.
How dare you make such a big decision!
It’s just a matter of taking a risk because there was a big change in just two days.
“Count Albireo. You are here.”
Albireo bursts open the door of Takasho’s office.
What she faced was Shin Siu sitting at the table with her backlight on his back.
The sunlight pouring down through the wood blinds and the sidestream smoke of tobacco quietly drifting.
“…”
Albireo, who was about to pour out his complaints, hesitated.
Siwoo is wearing an Italian suit.
His attire was not very neat, befitting an Italian style that comfortably accentuates the curves of his body.
The top button of his shirt is undone, and his tie is not on.
The image of him leaning back against the backrest and crossing his legs is also far from formal.
Certainly not the Grand Duke of the North.
Even so, I felt a charisma that I had never seen before in him.
You can feel a bit of arrogance and arrogance in each movement, but it is not so much that it makes you frown, creating a strange atmosphere.
Like a young mafia godfather full of ambition?
From the prominent muscles above the fit of the suit to the energetic veins bulging from the naturally rolled up sleeves down to the back of the hand.
It reminded me of a wild horse with a black mane that no one can tame.
“Sit down and talk.”
Shin Si-woo stands up after putting his cigarette in the ashtray and buttoning it up.
Albireo nodded his head bewildered.
