I Am the Madman of This Family

Episode 41. You, this guy, only one is right (1)

The eyes of the guy who sat in front of me without saying a word were blatant. I was more interested in who I was than how strong I was.

If you stare like that, do you get information that you didn’t have?

Arvold stared me in the eye, then rallied.

You do the same thing.

He kicked the legs of the table.

f*ck!

The guy hit the corner of the table squarely with his stomach and bowed his head. One of his henchmen lined up around him thrust a spear at me.

Oh, I’ve grown a lot too. My opponent is aiming at me with a weapon, but I have to be kind and stay still.

“Keter?!”

Luke looks at me with a face asking why he did that.

Whose side is this kid on? Even if I hit the first bread, you have to take my side. I thought he was a kid on the outside, but is he a kid with speed? Well, all nobles are like that, well.

I was expecting a little bit because I was the son of old man Zach, but tsk tsk. As expected, the disappointment was greater. It’s a waste of attention to give to a kid who doesn’t know how to look.

“Are you going to talk, or are you going to die? Let’s do one.”

At my words, Arvold pulled back his chair. take a step back

Interesting.

I know because I have ears to hear. That the Vident family treats Sephira like the enemy who killed her parents.

Still, he chose to avoid me rather than confront me. Even from me, who I don’t even know who I am, who thinks I’m weaker than myself.

I thought these guys were behind the inspiration for Leganon. The old man’s offer to go to the empire should have been changed by force rather than an offer by now.

Then I’ll need someone who can subdue me, and the only people in this town who can do that are the ones right in front of me.

Besides, if it is Vident, I think the justification is sufficient. Who would think that the elders of Sephira were the knights of Vident?

However, it is too risky to conclude that ‘Leganon was aiming for that gap?’.

The Leganon I know is not a gambler. These guys have nothing to do with Elder Leganon.

“You are at least not a knight. And yet, seeing that the knight, Sir Luke, is still, it seems that he has the authority to listen to me.”

Arbold pretended to be calm and spoke as if inferring my true identity.

I really don’t know, but that’s kind of weird too. If it’s Vident, there’s nothing he doesn’t know about what’s happening in Sephira, but why doesn’t he know about me?

You may not know it just by looking at its face, but you should know it when you hear its name.

‘Pretending not to know? Not even that.’

These guys really don’t know anything about me or Sephira’s illegitimate son.

Tuk-tuk.

At that time, the little boy hit my side and whispered in my ear.

“Keter. what are you going to do It’s none of our business. It’s something to report to Knight Commander Choi Min-nim, the elder.”

I hope it’s comfortable in the middle of the day. And, do you think they won’t hear you if you talk so quietly?

“Why am I not authorized? My dad is the head of the household.”

“Hey, hey!”

Luke and the knights were surprised by my words.

In particular, Arvold in front of me smiles as if he knew that, but I can see the trembling beneath that smile.

“He was the son of the head of Basil. I didn’t know.”

The words are a little more polite, but it’s not like you’re standing up and paying your respects.

Certainly these guys have nothing to do with Leganon. So, it really means we met by chance.

‘No. It’s not a coincidence.’

If I hadn’t come here in this lifetime, Catherine would have been here. And you must have met these guys.

That’s how the previous life’s Catherine died. That said, Catherine encountered them, fought them, and defeated them.

Then why did Catherine fight them?

My slave is friendly, but not a fighting maniac. If a guy like that fought, he would have fought to protect something related to Sephira.

What did you fight to protect?

Why did you fight here, without running away or calling for support?

‘It must have been because I had to protect the village.’

from these guys.

And, there is only one such thing.

‘The massacre of Yeongjimin.’

These guys must have tried to commit a massacre in Sephira Village. Otherwise, Catherine wouldn’t have died in a fight with these bastards.

Then another question arose.

‘Why did I do that?’

Even beasts and insects do not do anything that is of no benefit to them.

If you say it backwards, it means that you did it because there was such a benefit.

‘There is something secret about this town. It’s a very important secret that the Bydent family is risking their life and death.’

I figured it out so far.

Now, it’s time to listen to what this guy has to say.

“There is no need to waste time. Let’s listen now.”

“It is. Getting here is purely by chance. You know our outfit, but it’s a gyeongbok. I came out hunting for training and vacation, but I was so excited that I came over to the realm of Sephira. As I already knew, it was near the village. Although accidental, it does not justify trespassing. So I was thinking of staying overnight in the village and then going to apologize as soon as the sun rises.”

The story Arbold told was very obvious and plausible.

“therefore. You’re saying you didn’t infiltrate the Sephira family with the intention of harming them?”

“yes.”

The answer is very clear.

stupid guy You don’t even know what question I asked.

This made it clear.

These guys have nothing to do with the Sephira family. There is something to do in this town.

Whether it’s treasure or whatever, it has nothing to do with Sephira’s family. Or, you are mistaken that there is no connection.

“Because I will turn myself in tomorrow morning. I’m asking you to pretend you didn’t see it for now.”

“There is a big difference between voluntarily reporting and being discovered. We want to admit our faults. To do that, like me, my subordinates also need time to organize their minds. It won’t end with a light reprimand.”

“Hmm.”

Pretend to be worried

I wondered if it was necessary to hold the horse’s tail and talk more. I’m sure if you dig a little deeper you’ll get some fish – the problem is, these guys have the will to fight. If anything, they’re murderers, they’re even willing to kill them all and keep their secrets.

Of course, fighting these guys is no big deal.

But, I also covet it.

The treasure these guys are after.

If the treasures that the guys who came here even prepared for an all-out war with Sephira were aiming for, it would be at least the level of the Demon Palace Amaranth.

‘If I torture them, will they be summoned?’

I don’t see those who open their mouths with short torture.

But leaving it as it is, there aren’t too many clues? I can’t really guess anything about the treasure.

After a brief thought, I reached a dramatic agreement with my greed. Just by provoking it once.

“Let’s trade neatly 7 to 3.”

Standing up first, I let my right hand hang down naturally. Arbold also stood up and followed my words.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. What do you mean by 7 to 3?”

“I don’t think you are curious. Why did I come to such a small and ugly town?”

“… … !”

Arvold was startled, and the little boy followed me as well, staring at me in surprise.

I gave a signal to Luke, who said, ‘We’re here for a mission, Keter!’ to shut up, and delivered the final blow to Arvold.

“I came to know everything.”

* * *

Arvold made a mistake.

I took my eyes off Keter in front of me and looked around at my men. It was an act that was tantamount to a confession.

I have something to hide. I was puzzled.

There was no one to fix it. Arbold, who was the most calm within the Silver Leopard Knights, was shaken, but his subordinates were no different.

The subordinates were agitated, even falling to the eyelids. Even so, the hand holding the spear was full of strength.

‘If it’s necessary, I’ll kill them all.’

Because that was the original plan.

But it wasn’t up to them to decide that. Arbold, it was a matter for him to decide.

‘Damn it. Did we underestimate Sephira too much?’

Sephira also knows about the existence of the Birang people. And he sent Sephirah’s clan to find them!

Arvold understood Keter’s words that way.

His delusion was reasonable. Keter’s words were right in the middle.

But there was something odd about it.

‘Why do you want to share even though you know? Why are only the two of us here?’

After questioning each other, Arvold came up with a hypothesis, and soon came to a conclusion.

Arvold controlled his heavy breathing and looked at the situation again.

Keter was only relaxed, and the attendant next to him, Luke, was more flustered than they were.

It was Arvold, roughly drawn. His cleverness began to analyze the situation. in a way that is advantageous to oneself.

“I showed my shame. Prince Keter.”

“It looks like you erased the option of killing and silenced in your head?”

“I’m sorry, but it’s true that I had that kind of heart. But like you said, I don’t think it’s necessary.”

“You also wake up and go back. You seem to have figured it out?”

“yes. Prince Keter. Confucius is a bastard.”

Arvold was elated, as if he had learned the great truth. Since Kether was silent, he proudly explained the rationale.

“I am well aware of the Sephira family. There are a total of five children under the care of the Basil family. None of them are named Keter. Ah, of course, that doesn’t mean the young master isn’t a blood relative of the head of Basil. However, it will not be a deficit. If so, there is no reason to hide it from the outside world. In other words, Bocchan is a bastard.”

pair, pair!

Keter clapped her hands instead of answering.

The excited Arvold didn’t even notice that his voice was getting louder.

“Mister Keter probably joined the Sephira family recently. Then, of course, the location would be narrow. In the meantime, you accidentally found out the secret. Normally, I would inform the Head of Household, but the Bocchan must have had other thoughts. They said, ‘I’d better do it all on my own.’”

Keter did not ask what the secret was. Because that’s a rash act that only the sewers of the sewage do.

Instead, Arvold was infinitely floated.

“As expected, the Bydent family. Can such a talented person just walk around like this? How about working under me? I’ll give you anything you want.”

Arvold’s unconscious evaluation of Keter changed due to the third-rate villainous lines.

‘He’s an aristocratic boy who doesn’t know the world.’

His arrogant and harsh words and actions backed it up.

Arvold, firmly mistaken for Keter, shook his head with a relaxed smile.

“I will decline. However, I intend to take the previous offer. Instead, there are conditions.”

“I think you’ve already conceded a lot.”

“I am not asking you to adjust the ratio. Rather, we will do it up to 8 to 2. Instead, we will take care of their personal affairs and we will pay the bill ourselves.”

“I can’t get a feel for it because I only talk about the ratio. Are you sure you’re right here? how much you can give me.”

“Strictly speaking, the Bocchan was only trying to get a reward for reporting. I think you know very well that even unofficially, more than that is impossible. Based on the reward for reporting, 80% is only 8,000 gold, but if you promise to completely withdraw from this incident, we will give you five times the total amount.”

“So how much exactly?”

“You are meticulous. Do you want to hear it through my mouth? Yes, let me tell you. 50,000 gold.”

At Arvold’s words, Luke, not Keter, opened his mouth wide.

“… 5, 50,000 gold?”

A staggering amount that can make you rich in no time. It was a huge sum of money that could make most aristocrats lie flat.

But Keter spoke in a flat tone.

“How are you going to give me that much money? It’s too obvious that you’re just going to keep your mouth shut after making a promise.”

“The Vident family is not as poor as Sephira.”

“I’m not as honest as Sephira.”

“You mean you need a guarantee or certificate.”

“With a legitimate route that has nothing to do with this incident.”

“Mmm.”

“Why worry? If I really meant to give it to you, I wouldn’t have to worry about it.”

“… … .”

Arvold bit his lower lip and rolled his eyes.

It looked more like genuine concern than an attempt to trick Keter in any way. Keter knows that, so he gave me time to think about it.

“Princess Keter. To be honest, I am not the decision maker.”

“know. bring it.”

“Would you please wait?”

“10 minutes. I can’t wait any longer.”

“Yes, I will be back soon. Oh, before that… … .”

Arvold raised his head. His gaze was on the village chief, who could be seen through the crack in the handrail on the second floor.

“omg!”

The village chief hurriedly ducked, but it was too late to go unnoticed. Arvold said, pointing at the railing with the point of his spear.

“The author has heard too much. I’m sorry, but I’d better deal with it.”

Swoop.

Arvold gestured toward his subordinate.

They are not chivalrous knights. It’s just a tool for the elder Moon Myo. There was no guilt about killing a powerless ordinary person.

Although the village chief hid himself, he at least realized that he was in danger of dying.

“for a moment. I do.”

It was then.

Keter climbed the stairs to the second floor before Arbold’s men.

“… … ?’”

Arvold looked puzzled and Luke tried to stop Keter in amazement.

“Keter. can you?! no!”

Arbold stepped in to stop Luke from following him to stop Keter.

He realized what Keter was up to.
