Chapter 212 – Lianna Lumenhark (2)
“Lucia-sama, today was a perfect speech.”
“…”
“Compared to that, the other side… The level difference is so great that it’s embarrassing to say anything.Haha.”
Pedro Longiste, who was walking with Lucia, laughed lightly.
To accurately describe the two of them, it was not that they were walking together, but that Pedro was just following Lucia.
Pedro continued to talk to Lucia as if he hadn’t noticed the difference.
“When the three sons of Calliope defended the common people in the first trial, I thought what was going on, but now that I see it, it turned out better.”
It didn’t matter what happened to the commoner who was the trigger for the confrontation.
“Because with this opportunity, we can cut out all the fungi that have eaten away at the empire.Haha.”
It’s because the situation where you can move on by receiving an apology is far beyond.
Now, it was important whether or not the evil custom of ‘equality’ that existed in Carnea could be rooted out.
‘…It was strange that lowly things had been out there without knowing the subject.’
Pedro’s lips twisted.
Regardless of success, Pedro could not tolerate the fact that the common people would fight against the nobles.
This isn’t just Pedro’s idea.
The majority of nobles felt that they were being discriminated against in Carnea.
That everyone is equal
How could that be?
The blood of nobles is noble, and the blood of commoners is low.
Isn’t that common sense?
The time has now come to end the display of ‘equality’ that was forced by Carnea’s school rules.
‘…I will make the subject known to the common people who have invaded the authority of the nobles.’
But along the way, there were two names that bothered me.
It was Liana Lumenhark and Eugene Calliope.
Pedro clicked his tongue inwardly.
If he was a halfway noble, he would have pressed him down with force.
Of course, the opponents were the Hwang family and the Calliope family.
‘It’s full of greed for the topic that was pushed out in the succession battle… ‘
Pedro did not believe in the cause of standing up against the nobles for the rights of the common people.
The reason Eugene and the princess do this kind of play is only to get their hands on power.
‘…I’ll have to die to come to my senses.’
The reason why the princess survived even though she was defeated in the battle for success was because she lived her life as if she were dead without being greedy for power.
‘Maybe I’ve lost my reason in the power of the throne…’
However, this moment before His Majesty’s death his.
Even with the help of commoners, the princess seemed to be aiming for the throne.
Compared to the nobles, they were commoners who were inferior in everything, but they outnumbered the nobles.
‘The same goes for Eugene Calliope.’
The third son, Eugene Calliope, also seems to be using this commotion as an opportunity to seize power inside Calliope again, but…
Eugene and the princess cannot be the heads of the commoners faction at the same time.
Because he always has only one head.
If they continue fighting like this, they will know that they will destroy themselves before dealing with the aristocrats.
However, the moment you are pushed out, you lose both your power and your life.
That is why they are confronting each other without retreating even one step.
This was the purpose of Eugene and the princess that Pedro, or most aristocrats, expected.
“It was very spectacle to see Her Highness the Princess and her three sons her fighting each other to take the initiative, so the lower ones were at a loss.Haha.”
Pedro laughed out loud when he recalled the image of the speech hall.
I could not help but honestly admire the princess’s speech her at the beginning.
‘…To assert the rights of the common people by advocating the doctrine of the Goddess Church that all things are equal under the goddess.’
When the princess, who was not someone else but the noblest bloodline, said such a thing, she couldn’t help but be tempted by many people.
Indeed, even some nobles were converted because of the speech.
However, Eugene broke into the speech hall and changed everything.
To be honest, Eugene’s speech was not as beautiful as the princess’s.
However, the princess’ speech her, which had been stimulating emotions, lost its power her due to her amplification magic her and her intense agitation her accompanying her followers her.
As a result, the commoners who were being persuaded by the princess were also conflicted over which side to support between Eugene and the princess.
‘…In contrast, the aristocrats have one head.’
The aristocratic faction, with an overwhelming leader named Lucia, was able to unite further by laughing at the opposing commoners.
“…”
Despite Pedro’s chatter, Lucia didn’t even respond and continued walking.
A normal person would have noticed Lucia at this point and shut her mouth her.
Intoxicated with the joy of her victory her, Pedro continued to rant that she was blind.
“Even so, he is a loser who was pushed out of the race for the successor of the family. Is it because her mother came from an extinct family? Haha.”
“…Okay.”
It wasn’t until he heard Lucia’s terrifyingly cold voice that Pedro finally seemed to realize that Lucia wasn’t feeling well.
‘…Why?’
Today is a pleasant day when the enemy self-destructed.
Of course, towards the latter half of the speech, the mood shifted from Eugene to the princess again.
No matter how much she instigated it, the content of the speech was much more perfect on the princess’ side of her.
Certainly, someday the princess will be pointed out as the head of the commoners.
….But in the meantime, the aristocrats can’t stand still.
By the time the head of the anti-noble faction is confirmed, the aristocratic faction must have already completed all preparations to defeat the commoners.
Then, Pedro caught sight of Lucia stroking his left wrist her.
‘It’s because of that.’
Pedro raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
After today’s speech, during an argument, Lucia’s wrist her was briefly grabbed by Eugene.
Lucia immediately shook her off, but it would have been quite unpleasant given her reluctance to have contact with men.
‘…I didn’t notice.’
By constantly mentioning Eugene, it seems that Lucia was reminded of her unpleasant memories of her.
Pedro smiled and approached Lucia.
“Is the wrist that was caught just now painful? Let me take a look.”
Pedro reached Lucia’s hand her toward her wrist her.
Pedro knew very well what had happened to the men who had touched Lucia.
‘…I’ll overwrite the unpleasant memories.’
However, as the heir to the Longest family, she thought Lucia would accept her.
Pedro thought he was good enough to be Lucia’s mate.
It wasn’t narcissism, but it was so objectively.
Except for the imperial family and the great family, there were few families comparable to the Longest family in the empire.
‘…I am the eldest son of the Longest family, and the next head of the family.’
The brothers who competed for the successor position met with an ‘accident of injustice’ and all became idiots or fell behind.
Some might think it was cruel, but Pedro considered it the coolness he deserved in order to gain power.
Tight-
The moment Pedro grabs Lucia’s wrist.
Lucia’s body her suddenly stopped.
“…Worms.”
And Pedro immediately regretted it.
A lifelike feeling she had never felt before flowed from Lucia’s body to her.
“…Dare… Your… Traces…”
“Lucia-sama?”
At Lucia’s unexpected reaction her, Pedro let go of his wrist her and stepped back.
I had heard rumors that Lucia was extremely reluctant to touch men, but she did not know that she would react so violently.
“Lucia. Gee… Calm down. I made a mistake.”
Pedro tried to calm Lucia by holding out both of her hands her, but her anger did not subside her and she turned into a sharp sword and aimed at Pedro.
‘…Above..Dangerous..’
Feeling threatened for his life his, Pedro drew his sword, but his body trembled as if he had confronted him with a twig in front of a typhoon.
If it’s a close-range fight, the swordsman should be able to overwhelm even a wizard several levels up…
Right now, Pedro couldn’t feel the slightest bit of victory over Lucia.
‘…This…This…Lucia Urella…’
Pedro’s skills were also in the top ranks, but the difference with Lucia was overwhelming.
As Lucia approached under the suffocating pressure, Pedro involuntarily backed away and shouted:
“This… You shouldn’t be like this! The Ro..Longiste family is an essential family for Urella.”
Although scared, calculations were still running in Pedro’s head.
Lucia can’t kill herself.
At least in Carnea, there was no way that was the case.
But, as if making fun of such an idea, Lucia pursed her lips.
Chow-
Pedro’s cheek his cracked and blood flowed.
“…Blood…Blood..!! This… What is this… “
“Keep your mouth shut. Rapist.”
Pedro screamed at Lucia’s words her.
“… Is… Rape! What is that…!”
I just grabbed his wrist her once, and I was immediately framed for rape.
“Lie! It’s a lie! I… When did I…”
“The truth doesn’t matter. Because what I make is the truth.”
It was an arrogant statement, but it was true.
Because Lucia is the ‘most fair scale’ and Urella’s next step.
Chow-
Pedro’s other cheek was also cracked.
“I accidentally killed the rapist while resisting him… Well, overreacting will cause gossip, but how long will it last?”
“…If…If I…Die…Ro…The Longest Family will not stand still…!”
Lucia laughed at Pedro’s outburst of her.
“I do not know? …Do your brothers really think so?”
At that moment, the faces of the brothers who suffered an ‘accident of injustice’ passed through Pedro’s mind.
Will they uncover this incident against the Urella family?
‘…That can’t be.’
Rather, I will think of it as an opportunity to get the next head of household and do my best to cover the work.
Thud-
“…Save… Help me… Lucia-sama…”
Reassessing the situation, Pedro knelt down.
Looking down at him, Lucia said in a cold voice.
“…There is no second chance. Don’t touch me again. Pedro Longist.”
