Chapter 346 – 346. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family
346. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family
The carriage runs.
Elaine and I looked at each other.
Elaine’s eyes were different from before. If I kept looking at my eyes, his cheeks would blush slightly and he would look away. Elaine looked like a girl who fell in love late.
We had to act when people were around.
My relationship with her is mother and child. Even if not a single drop of blood was connected.
The moment our relationship is known to the outside world, the family’s reputation falls to the ground. Also, we will be punished with a high probability. Ention will either kill us or send us into exile.
‘If I didn’t have Yuria.’
Yuria’s powers were stronger than Ention’s.
In case of emergency, one way is to kill Ention and usurp the count by force. All the vassals who rebel should be killed.
‘If you use YuRia and her modern weapons well, you might be able to rebel and succeed….’
It’s just one of the worst options. I want to get as whole as possible and get the Countess.
The running carriage stopped.
Because it’s lunchtime.
At this time, it was the servants who were busy moving.
I ordered Yuria and Melissa, who were sitting on either side of me.
“Go and help the servants.”
“All right.”
They got out of the wagon.
Elaine also ordered the maids sitting on either side of her.
“Check that no one among the knights and soldiers is injured and that the items you brought are in good condition, and then return. We will soon arrive at the capital, so we will have to inspect it thoroughly.”
“Yes. Lady.”
The ladies-in-waiting went out.
In the wagon, me and Elaine. There were only two. The eyes of Elaine looking at me changed profoundly.
I held out her right hand as if asking her to dance. She took my hand and brought it towards me.
“Eugene… Yes….”
Elaine and I kissed each other. My hand slowly slipped into her dress.

Arrived at the royal capital.
Like a great noble, the Purcus family had a mansion in the royal capital. Although it is far from the royal palace, it is a great thing to have a mansion in the royal capital even if you are not a noble active in the capital.
The mansion of the royal capital was clean without a single speck of dust, as if it had been constantly maintained by servants. It’s not as good as the original house, but it’s better than a decent aristocratic mansion.
Haha. Did you come mother. It’s been a while, but you’re still beautiful.”
Gent arrived at the mansion first.
Certainly, Gent’s acting skills have improved a lot. The old Gent always put on an annoyed expression in front of Elaine and tried to avoid conversation.
“Gent. You are still Where is he?”
Elaine looked for Ention with her sullen face.
Ention and Gent will not know. How that blunt and cold face changes on the bed.
“My father hasn’t arrived yet. He’ll probably arrive in three days.”
“Is it…. I get it. Gent. You’ve worked hard to get here. Go and rest.”
“I arrived yesterday and the travel has already been relieved. I have an appointment for a dinner party with the nobles of the west from now on, so I don’t think I’ll be able to come back today. See you again tomorrow.”
“I get it.”
Elaine passed Gent. It is clear where the destination is. It will be the office Just because you move away from home doesn’t mean your work will disappear. No, rather it increases. Most of the nobles are currently gathering in this capital.
There must be nobles and merchants who make strange requests.
“Did you come in the end….”
Gent looked at me and murmured. I casually passed his hostile gaze and greeted him.
“Long time no see. Older brother.”
Since the servants were watching, he said something respectful.
“Okay. It’s been a while. Little brother.”
“Are you going to the western aristocratic banquet? Can you do that? Nobles in the South may misunderstand your actions.”
House Pruckus is located at the southern tip. It’s on the border too much to be called the center of the south, but it’s by no means that the Pruckus family has little influence.
“We are all nobles of the same kingdom, so what kind of misunderstanding could there be? And even if there is a misunderstanding, it has nothing to do with you. It must have been hard coming this far, so go in and rest.”
I know why he hangs out with the western nobility. This is because Gent’s fiancée is the daughter of Marquis Heolis, who can be said to be the center of Western nobility.
Gent tried to get past me and go outside.
“Brother Gent. Shall I go with you to the banquet of the nobles of the West?”
“…… You?”
“Yes. I am also curious about them.”
“… I’m sorry, but I’m the only one invited to the dinner party. You are my younger brother, but aren’t you the baron of Tebra? It would be rude to them if they suddenly took you away.”
“You’re such a well-mannered person, why did you visit my mansion the other day without any contact?”
As I was being sarcastic, Gent twisted her face and glared at me.
“…… That was a mistake. I was in such a hurry that I didn’t have time to contact you.”
With that said, Zent turned around and got into her carriage waiting outside her mansion.
“Yuria. I’m going out. Get the wagon ready.”
“Yes. All right.”
Yuria went to the old butler in charge of managing the mansion.
Melissa next to me gave me a strange smile and she said to me.
“Looks like you’re thinking of doing something fun. Master.”
“Balm. You may come too.”
“I’d like to, but I’ll stay in the mansion and clean the master’s room. I don’t know if it’s meeting commoners, but meeting nobles is very difficult.”
Melissa was originally the eldest daughter of the long-established Duke of Argentin in the Kingdom of Cobalt. She is currently on the run from the kingdom. People because of it. She especially did not like meeting nobles.
“Okay. It’s making my bed warm.”
“…… He is the unstoppable master. If you care about your reputation, why don’t you exercise some restraint in the capital?”
“It’s okay. Are you okay. You don’t have to take it.”
“The master should always thank the chief maid. If it wasn’t for the head maid, it would have already happened hundreds of times. Coming this far, only the people themselves would not know how dangerous the master and the countess were. … Really, if the head maid wasn’t too competent….”
“Okay. Okay so stop nagging me. She is always grateful to Yuria.”
“I’m not nagging you, I’m advising you to be careful.”
“Okay. I know.”
•••
I took a wagon and headed to the residence of the Western nobility.
The dinner party that Gent is talking about cannot be attended. Because I wasn’t invited to the dinner party. If you were forced to attend a dinner party you were not invited to, you would only get the eyes of the nobles and your reputation would suffer.
The place I went to is the mansion of Marquis Heolis in the royal capital. To be precise, it can be called a villa mansion. I didn’t contact you, but it’s not rude. All you have to do is mention the ‘Cosline store’ that contacted me before I came.
As much as Marquis Heolis is an executive at Cozline Company, he can’t treat me coldly. Because you want to benefit from the Korea top ranks I have.
After revealing her identity to the servant in front of his mansion and waiting for a while, a middle-aged butler came out and greeted Yuria.
“Baron Pruckus. His Excellency, Marquis of Heolis, is waiting for you in the audience room. We will guide you to the reception room. But the person next to you….”
“She is an exclusive maid who takes care of me. I want to go in with you. Is it okay? She has a pretty deep connection with the Korea upper house.”
“…… If that’s the case, you’ll be fine.”
The butler seems to have noticed that Yuria is not an ordinary maid. Her appearance is unusual, but who can think of it as ordinary?
-Master.
As I was walking down the hallway, I heard YuRia’s voice in my ear. It is transmission. It is said that mana is stored in sound, but it is a skill that I cannot do because I am not good at it. It seems that Yuria treats the electric sound as a useful catch technique.
-The boundaries of the mansion are strict. Not only knights, but also assassins are stationed throughout the mansion. And that butler. Aura Expert has advanced skills.
Considering the position of the Marquis of Heolis, it was natural to have an escort. However, it was unexpected that he even led assassins.
‘The butler guiding us right in front of us is a knight-leader-class level of skill….’
I slightly turned my head and opened my mouth. I can’t speak However, Yuria was able to lipread.
What if. Yuria asked if you could kill everyone in this mansion if you went out.
-Yes. No wonder. Master. If you give me an order, I will take the lives of everyone in this mansion within 10 minutes and offer them to my master.
I shook my head slightly. I just wanted to find out the power difference. There was no reason to kill them.
At least for now.

“Nice to meet you like this. Baron Pruckus.”
“Nice to meet you. Your Excellency, Marquis of Heolis. It’s an honor to meet you. I came to visit you as soon as I came to the capital, but wasn’t it rude?”
“Excuse me. This side welcomes you. I really wanted to have a conversation with you. And aren’t your family and ours future in-laws?”
“It makes me feel at ease when you welcome me.”
“Sit down for now. The story might be long. By the way, what about the maid next to you?”
“This is my exclusive maid. And she is my hands and feet. Thanks to her, her Korea top has been able to develop more effortlessly. She knows her details better than I do at the top of her Korea.”
“… Right. She is a very beautiful girl, but she is also intelligent. The Baron has good talent. But….”
Marquis Heolis narrowed his eyes and looked at Yuria.
“Are you having any problems?”
“… No. Nope Wait a minute, a certain family name comes to mind. No matter what, it probably has nothing to do with that family.”
The family he recalled would most likely be the family of the Dukes of Helbrit. Because Yuria’s blue hair and blue eyes are the hallmarks of the Duke of Hellbrit. However, the Duke of Helbrit is a morbidly clean family, so he thinks it has nothing to do with Yuria.
“The reason why you came to me must be because of joining the Korea Merchant Chamber. Do you intend to join the Korea Chamber of Commerce?”
“Yes. Among the guilds of the Lapelli Kingdom, which guild would not like to join the Cozline Company? It is an honor to join the Causeline Company.”
“Of course I welcome the Korea upper house. But I don’t know what other people think. As you know, our company is not only entangled with the upper level, but also the Mage Tower. There are quite a few eyes that look at the top of Korea with disquiet.”
“… Are you suspicious of the Korea Chamber of Commerce?”
“Well, yes. Aren’t the products from Korea’s upper class so unconventional? Most of the items sold at the top of Korea are said to have been invented by you, but is that possible according to common sense? The Cosline Company thinks that there are other countries and magic towers behind the Korea Merchant Merchant.”
“It’s unfair, but I understand.”
“Hmm?”
He seems surprised when I calmly accept it. Young people my age are bound to panic or get angry when they are questioned.
But I was calm. He is also preparing for the point that Yuria taught him before.
‘Yuria said. Cozline Sanghoe said that it would find and point out flaws in Korea’s top business, and accept it by reducing its value. The reason is to influence the top of Korea. Their ultimate goal is to find out the secrets of the Korea Chamber of Commerce.’
You don’t have to be dragged along according to their will.
“Even I find it hard to believe that a genius like me exists in this world, but what about other people’s eyes? I don’t understand.”
“…… Oh, is it?”
The Marquis of Heolis gave a timid answer.
“Your Excellency, Marquis. There is a business I want to do with the Hollis Merchant, run by the former Marquis.”
“Hoo. It’s a business proposed by a genius…. That’s interesting. What business is it?”
“It is a war materiel business. You can make big bucks. I bet you. Originally, it was a business I would do alone, but… Aren’t the Marquis of Heolis and the Countess of Pruckus going to become one family soon?”
Haha…. You are misunderstanding something. Most of the guild masters are already preparing for war. That’s me too Who doesn’t know that it’s time for a war to break out?”
“Okay. So let’s talk fast. Dismissal. I have an interesting piece of information, would you like to hear it?”
