Chapter 530 – 530. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family
530. Maehwa sword reincarnated in the count family
Hascent, the head of the family, entered the room.
He had served as the head of the butler for over several decades since his predecessor, the head of the household, and could be said to be the teacher who taught shadow magic to Yuria. Although he did not admit that Hasentna or Yuria had a teacher-teacher relationship.
“Hascent. Did you know and despise my relationship with Bibi Heolis?”
Hascent has worked longer than I have, and he has the trust of the head of household. He’s a character I would never treat badly, except when it was just the two of us.
“No. Young master. I have no feelings about your sex life. Rather, I admire it. She is a spy planted by Young master. Prince Zent would never have known that his wife was a spy.”
Hascent’s eyes were full of trust in me. Hascent thought of me as the Chosen Prophet. It was the result of using the original information.
“Hascent. Maybe you know about me That my relationship with women is not clean.”
“It’s a good thing. Doesn’t the seed of the person who will become the owner of Pruckus spread all over the place? The best among those seeds will be the next owner of Pruckus.”
“… Kyle hyung came back as an expert superlative. Do you still think I am qualified to be the owner of the Pruckus family?”
“My opinion doesn’t change. Young master. Force is important, but it is not a necessary virtue for a family master. Young master said to me. I will make sure no one ignores the Pruckus family. I have confirmed that. Since Young master founded the Korean Merchant Army, the number of people who ignored the Purcus family has decreased considerably. The power of money is amazing.”
“Money is great for everyone because everyone is equal. Kyle may become an Auror Master in a few years. Will you follow me then?”
“I have already given my allegiance to Young master. Aura master. Great. It is a state that is admired by all knights, and it is a state that transcends humans and can face 10,000 soldiers. And Young master has a sword of that level.”
Knife.
Hascent always compared Yuria to a sword.
“Did you know YuRia’s realm? Yuria must have thoroughly hidden her own realm.”
“I could barely notice. She hid it so perfectly that she was able to notice it on the contrary.”
“But. It was Hascent who taught Yuria how to assassinate and her shadow magic. It’s not strange. How does she feel when the sword she forged became the best sword?”
“It’s not a knife I forged. Not much of what I taught her. She is a self-forged sword. It’s so sharp that I’m worried that it won’t harm Young master.”
Hascent was wary of Yuria.
I trusted her Yuria, but Hasent still doesn’t fully trust her.
“Okay. Yuria will never harm me.”
Yuria does not betray me. She can swear If I told her to die, she would not vomit and the woman who would die is Yuria.
“Hascent. The reason I called you is to know the intentions of her father, who will return in two days.”
“… I’m sorry. There is no information about the present Lord. The head of the household trusts me…. You don’t use me as an assassin. There have been no comments lately.”
“Let’s guess?”
“I do not know. The head of household has been unconventional since she was a child. Maybe I’ll do something unconventional this time….”
I nodded. I was just asking just in case.
Earl Pruckus, Ention was a man of few words, and when he was young, he often heard eccentrics. It was no wonder that his retainers did not fully understand his intentions.
‘If something happens in two days, it will happen.’
I checked my watch. It was time to fall asleep.
“On the day of the banquet, Prince Aiden and Princess Eileen will come. Rumors spread among the nobles that he accepted the invitation.”
“Yes. I heard it too. If you order an assassination, I will risk my everything to kill the princess and the prince.”
“You know I wouldn’t give you an order like that.”
“Gongja. This is the sword of the former Young master. Although not as sharp as hers, her sword’s work can be done. You can use it for one time if you need. So please feel free to use it.”
“…… The day will come when you will use it someday. However, that is not the case now. Your job is to watch over Prince Aiden. When Prince Aiden is fooling around, things get messed up. In particular, if you have personal contact with Gent or Kyle, report it to me right away.”
“Yes. All right.”
“Oh, and call Yuria when you leave.”
I’m going to spend a hot night with her today.
“Yes. Young master.”

Early in the morning on the day of the banquet, Count Ention Pruckus returned.
My family and I jumped out of bed. I went down to the 1st floor of the mansion, feeling the weight of my steps due to lack of sleep.
Servants and vassals all greeted the return of the head of state with a steadfast attitude.
Short black hair and deep black eyes like caves. His massive body was full of muscle, and his skin was tanned by the sun. He had a beard, and the corners of his mouth and eyes were lined with wrinkles from the years.
Even though I was just walking this way, I felt an extraordinary sense of intimidation.
Elaine greeted Ntion as a representative.
“Are you back? I have done everything you asked me to do.”
“Well.”
It seemed like a conversation not between husband and wife, but between military and subject.
He looked around once more.
The reason Ention’s eyes stopped for a moment was on the three of them.
Gent, Kyle, and me.
“Looking at it this way, all three of you have grown a lot.”
“Father. We are not children. Didn’t the youngest’s coming-of-age ceremony happen a few years ago?”
Gent stepped forward. He usually lives in Utren Castle with Ention. So, among our siblings, he could be said to be the closest to Ention.
‘Even though he couldn’t even be the successor for something like that.’
Ention’s wrinkles deepened.
“… Right.”
After he saw me, he stared at Kyle. A look of admiration passed through his eyes. That was it.
“Gent. Kyle. Eugene. Be sure to attend the banquet this afternoon. I will not allow objections. This is an order.”
“Yes.”
After hearing our answer, Ention went straight back to his room.
Elaine cleaned up her seat. Zent and Kyle disappeared first, the vassals returned next, and the servants cautiously withdrew last. I confirmed that the gazes around me had disappeared and stood behind Elaine. He wrapped his arms around his waist and whispered in his ear.
“Mother. You’re not going to go into your father’s room, are you?”
“…… The head of household and I share a different room. Nothing you think will happen.”
“Then I may go to my mother’s room.”
My hand stroked her ass.
“Eugene…. My father just returned.”
“Yes. So I have to go to my mother’s room even more. I think leaving my mark on my mother will give her peace of mind.”
“Ah, I see. Come on, let’s go into the room. We are afraid that someone will see us.”
“Mother. Her blushing is just like a girl, so it’s cute.”
“Oh…. There’s nothing you can’t say to your mother.”
I laughed and kissed Elaine on the mouth.
Ention had her wife taken away by her son, and Gent’s wife, her eldest son, took her youngest brother’s seed and became pregnant. Just thinking about it makes me laugh.
Of course, Kyle’s future was no different.
‘No. Kyle will marry that ugly bitch so she won’t lose her wife to me.’
All the heroines in the original story will be mine.
I mingled with Elaine until daylight.
•••
The banquet hall was crowded. There were many nobles in it. It was rare for members of this level to gather at the count’s house, which was not even the royal palace.
My brothers and I had been in since the beginning of the banquet and dealing with the guests because of what had happened earlier in the morning.
Actually, Ention, as the host of the banquet, will come after a while.
“Prince Aiden and Princess Eileen are entering!!!”
The butler’s loud voice echoed through the banquet hall.
The gaze inside the banquet hall turned toward the entrance.
Two men and women enter the banquet hall.
It was a man and a woman with bright blond hair. Her eyes are the same sapphire color. But the mood was different.
Manny Prince. Aiden walks inside with a nervous gait, overwhelmed by the gaze. The clothes were very fancy, as if to show off being a prince. His eyes were restless and trembled.
On the other hand, the Chancellor Princess. Eileen walked in confidently. The dress she is wearing is a light blue dress that is neither flashy nor plain. Her pupils look straight ahead.
There was a difference in ability that even a person without human eyes could tell.
Princess Eileen went straight to greet the dukes and marquesses with the highest power, and Aiden looked around her and then walked towards the existing gang. Most of them are nobles who have not yet received a title, and most of them are poorly evaluated.
‘It’s pitiful.’
I watched Princess Eileen’s movements. And after a while, I saw her say hello to Kyle.
‘…… Was it Princess Eileen who cheated on Kyle as YuRia guessed?’
It seems a bit premature to make such a judgment based on just saying hello, but my intuition tells me that it’s Princess Eileen.
“His Excellency Count Pruckus and the Countess are entering!!!”
Ntion and Elaine came in and confidently headed to the front.
Ention looked around once and said.
“Thank you for accepting this invitation. A larger number of people gathered than expected. I have invited you to inform you of an important fact.”
The voice of Mana spread to every corner of the banquet hall. Her words were sudden and unexpected. However, the aristocrats could not carelessly open their mouths.
“It is a serious fact…. This amount of people gathered to listen to you. Even the princes and princesses gathered. You’re not saying anything disappointing, are you?”
Marquis Lukman Petras said.
He is an Auror Master, nicknamed the Giant of the North. Dark brown hair was a bit long. Contrary to the nickname of the giant of the north, he was of ordinary height. His nickname came from a weapon. He used a spear larger than his body.
Ention only looked at Luke for a moment.
“…… Marquis of Petras. Listen and judge.”
Lukeman’s eyes glow with fighting spirit. The relationship between Ention and Lukeman was not very good. Most nobles here were well aware of that fact.
Ention kept silent for a moment, as if to clear the messy atmosphere, then spoke.
“The war is coming. The remaining time is probably half a year. Maybe war could happen sooner than that.”
The nobles murmured.
The nobles, who were predicting a war, became serious at Ention’s confident words.
Those who had no knowledge of the war were perplexed.
“… Count Pruckus. Can you be sure of that? And why are you speaking here now instead of reporting to His Highness?”
This time, it was a question from Marquis Petras.
“A war will break out within a year at the latest. You can be sure.”
Ention was right.
Is it because of my intervention? Unlike the original work, the time of war was gradually accelerating.
“I have already reported to His Highness the King. And His Highness the King has given me the position of Commander-in-Chief. I lead all the armies of the Lapelli Kingdom.”
“…… Is it true?”
“How dare I disregard His Majesty’s edict. There are also witnesses. Princess Eileen.”
Everyone’s eyes turned to Princess Eiling. Princess Eileen was not taken aback.
“Yes. His Highness the King has ordered Earl Pruckus as commander-in-chief.”
Marquis Petras clicked his tongue slightly.
“Huh, now that I see it, was today’s banquet a place to celebrate your ascension to the commander-in-chief? I came to the celebration, so I should congratulate you. Congratulations. Count Pruckus.”
“Thank you, but I’ll accept that congratulations in a moment.”
“Do you have anything more important to say?”
“Two things remain. The first is to say to my sons, not to you. I’m speaking from where you are, because I want you to be a witness. Maybe I will die in this war.”
It was a scary word, but it was right. Because there is not only one Auror Master in this world, Ention. It can happen that Ention dies on the battlefield.
“I will inherit the county to my son who has made the most contributions in this war.”
