conflict (1)

the enemy of the royal family.
It wasn’t a pigment problem, it was solid evidence that he had hemolysis.
Everyone’s hearts were coldly heated by the symbol of the imperial family that was revealed so deeply.
That was unacceptable and unacceptable.
Everyone except Rei drew their swords.
“ね…!”
Jimmy wandered for a moment.
It’s not that I didn’t foresee this situation, but when I encountered it, my head was dizzy.
Even though he lived with grievances, for Jimmy the Earl of Phillips was his second home and a land of many blessings.
Jimmy didn’t want the Earl of Phillips to take a big hit from an unsullable conflict.
Jimmy eventually turned his back on Ray.
With his back to Rei, he faced the Count.
Jimmy took the form of opposing the Count, but could not point his sword at the Count.
Holding the hilt of the sword in one hand and the blade in the other, Jimmy pulled the sword into his arms and appealed to the Earl of Phillips.
“Hold on, Count. Calm down and think about it one more time.”
Jimmy wanted the Counts to remain as they were in the past.
Although Rey’s stress caused her hair to fall out, she hoped that the counties would be maintained in the future, where children could dream of the future without being hungry.
Jimmy knew best that if Rey disappeared, most of the work he had done would soon collapse.
“You can hide it. There are plenty of ways to cover your eyes and hair.”
“Someday, I’ll have no choice but to get caught.”
There was a firm will in the Count’s voice.
Someday you’ll have to catch up
One day, irreversible ruin will come.
It wasn’t exaggeration or intimidation. It was a bright future.
Jimmy sensed that the Count’s intentions would not change, and his whole body trembled.
at that time.
Ray opened her mouth.
“Isn’t it better?”
The Count’s eyes narrowed.
Rey was too bold and tried to speak disloyalty.
“You never know how long the chaos of the empire may last, and you don’t know what the outcome might be.”
The legitimacy of the writers who could succeed to the throne are all arrogant.
When it comes to being the only child of the first prince who once occupied the crown prince’s seat, it was worth rubbing against whatever his mother’s origins were.
“My younger brother, if the Count wants to use it, his bloodline alone will make him a powerful hand.”
Convincing him to hide his brother’s identity for the rest of his life doesn’t work anyway.
Therefore, Rei poked at the ambition that a nobleman would have had.
However, there was no conflict in the count’s face.
“We can’t afford it.”
Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Nobles on the outskirts of the ruins could not afford the illegitimate children of the imperial family.
It was such a natural reality that there was no need to explain it.
Ray was being forced. No matter how generous the Count was, he could not afford such a compulsion at the expense of his family and territory.
“Ray…! That kid will make us all unhappy! That’s a piece of disaster!”
The Count’s voice grew louder and louder.
The Count was frustrated.
“Why do you keep being stubborn? If you were worried about the mother, there would have been other ways…! Why are you being stubborn like this?!”
“…”
other way.
Yes, of course, everyone could have been happy with a little compromise.
For example, changing children.
If you look around the surrounding estates, you will be able to easily find a parent who will hand over a newborn baby for a few pennies.
It would have been easy to change the baby after giving birth to Bella using drugs or magic to make her unconscious.
If Ray had been good at acting, Bella would have loved other people’s children as if they were her own.
Then everyone could be satisfied.
But Ray didn’t.
Ray knew.
That Bella’s life was full of deceit.
I was insulted by the family who sold my body to take care of them.
I had to raise the child of someone else, who had saved all my fortune in return, as if it were my own.
Kindness shown to others usually returned with contempt, and even marriages had to be made falsely in the gossips of others.
Bella’s life was truly full of deceit.
Because of that, Rei could never deceive the lifelong wish she had longed for.
A dagger was pulled out of Rey’s arms.
There was an irreversible gap between their positions.
The only way to fill the gap was through violence.
*
Having a serious conflict with Ray was very difficult for Earl Phillips as well.
The investment cost that has been poured into Ray so far has been enormous.
Aside from the financial calculations, the idea of having a grudge relationship with Leyra with a historical figure was terrible in itself.
However, the count trusted Rei’s cool judgment.
The Count first planned to kill the red-eyed child Bella gave birth to.
Of course, Rey would be angry, but it was Bella herself, not Bella’s child, that Rey loved.
Rey wouldn’t jump over the line, even for Bella’s safety.
When the fever cools down a bit over time, Rey will convince you that killing the child was a good decision for everyone in the long run.
The Count murmured in a cracked voice, feeling his mouth dry.
“Ray, understand that it’s a choice for everyone.”
Count Phillips swung his sword in surprise.
Jimmy, who was caught between the Count and Rey, inadvertently raised his sword.
Kagak!!
The moment the swords collided, Jimmy could see.
The count’s eyes filled with muddy and sad emotions.
Jimmy couldn’t do anything more than stop the Count’s sword.
The Count had no intention of doing anything more than tying Jimmy’s feet briefly.
Mohammed and Didier ran towards Rey.
A sword stood on Mohammed’s sword.
Mohammed swung his sword towards Rey as hard as he could.
Pagagak!!!
Rey blocked Mohammed’s attack with a short dagger.
A dagger could not completely offset the attack wielded by Mohammed, who had the size of a bear.
The moment sword and sword collided, Ray was pushed back.
Mohammed immediately stepped back.
Didier took the place of Mohammed.

No matter how much Rey was holding a dagger, Didier was undefeated in a one-on-one match.
But Didier only had to wait a few seconds.
Mohammed approached the newborn child and raised his sword.
It was very shameful, resentful, and tragic for Mohammed to cut an infant who could not even babble properly.
However, I had to cut it.
The child did not sin, but was born with calamity.
Mohammed was determined to cut down his sword.
at that moment
The void was torn.
“?!!”
Whoa!!!!
Mohammed, who barely managed to defend himself, was pushed back.
Mohammed staggered and looked around hastily.
What the hell just happened… I didn’t understand right away.
At that moment, Rey’s grasp grabbed something from the empty space.
A silver-white sword that gave off a strange presence was pulled out of the air.
Everyone’s breathing hardens.
In the midst of a series of strange situations that I do not readily understand.
The speculation that came to mind when they saw the silver-white sword struck everyone’s mind.
A silvery-white sword whirled around Rey’s grasp.
The moment when the weak black energy flickered.
The air was torn apart again.
Damn it!!
It was a really weak sword.
Because of this, even the Count, Didier, and Mohammed could easily block the sword.
However, that feeble sword force ripped through the air and fell from the top of his head.
in the fallen silence.
Rey’s core and circles fluctuate violently, radiating cold air.
“Don’t touch my brother recklessly.”
The cold air that ran through the delivery room was compressed around Ray.
“Rather than watching my mother slowly withering away for the rest of her life, I would give her rest with my own hands…”
Refined mana extending from the raging core formed dozens of swords and soon became one.
“I will devote my whole life to curse the Empire.”
It was a warning, a declaration, an oath.
Rei did not give meaning to the life of immortality, whether in the past or the present.
Some praised life as a blessing in itself, but in Rey’s view, it was the vanity of the full.
A life filled with pain, regret, and emptiness was a curse, not a blessing.
Rey also wanted Bella’s safety to be important, but she also wanted Bella to lead a happy life.
I didn’t want to see them being dragged along by a life where happiness was not preceded.
Tsuzui!
Rey pointed a silver-white sword clad in a sword blade at the feet of Count Phillips.
“Earl Phillips, I have shown everything I have.”
So, choose
“If you still refuse to allow my brother to exist, I will leave the Countess with my brother and mother.”
Ray owes the Count a lot.
However, he gave so much.
He saved the Countess from various threats, and placed children with a bright future into the Count’s hands.
It was a mutually beneficial transaction.

Now, if we don’t have a disagreement, we can just split up.
Ray felt her heart ache.
I couldn’t tell if it was because of Core and Circle’s subordinates, or if it was because of the warmth of the ties that they would now abandon like devoted partners.
However, for Rey, priorities were always clear.
It was impossible to sacrifice Bella for others.
Ray asked again.
“Count, what are you going to do?”
“…”
Count Phillips looked at Rey’s blazing sword, and then put the sword in.
“Your brother won’t hurt you.”
The Count laid the premise first.
The Count fully knew that Rey’s fears were not in vain.
“But I think we need to share the story a little more to come to a conclusion.”
*
Before moving to a place after a full blown sword.
Rey cast a very simple welcome magic on the child’s hair and eyes with the help of Aftel.
His hair looked black and his eyes were closed.
Ray left the child with Andree.
It was difficult to hand over the child to someone else now, but Ray knew the Count as much as the Count knew Ray.
Ray warned that there would be no compromise when it came to harming the child. The Count also accepted it.
The Count will know that Rey is not lying.
If Ray had been an ordinary expert, the story would have been different, but at this point, Ray was a strong force that could bind her feet even if she dragged all of the Knights of the Lord’s Castle.

Now the Count had two options.
Either drive Rei and Bella out of the territory and wipe out the traces left behind.
Or take a huge risk and stay with Rey.
When Count Rei and Count left the delivery room, all the knights waiting outside followed them.
Except for Didier and Mohammed, everyone seemed to know what was causing the friction, but no one spoke.
The Count headed to the dining room.
Everyone sit down and talk. The Count said so .
