The Villain Is A Perfect Fit For The Role

Chapter 44

44.

Convenience tames people. That also applied to vassals. It didn’t matter how great they were. If the standard is higher, you just have to put in that much effort. In this way, over a long period of time, Ain persistently changed their thoughts.

I didn’t explicitly ask him to take Licht’s side. It just lowered the resistance, but that was enough. The vassals began to change their minds, and eventually recognized Richt as the head of the family.

They will start moving soon.

“I knew there would be an accident someday.”

The old man sitting at the head of the table sighed deeply.

“It’s a shame. I guess you could say that even the Devine family is not like Sentai. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to place a bounty on the head of the family for something like this.”

“Yes, the imperial family is looking down on us.”

Then the middle-aged man who had been silent the whole time opened his mouth.

“We can’t just let things go like this.”

“Yes, one way or another, he is the head of the Devine family. It can’t go on like this. “You look down on the Devine family.”

“Shall we send a formal protest letter?”

“Yes, I should send that too. “It seems like the youngest has some time to spare.”

The man sitting at the bottom shook his head, but the old man ignored him and continued talking as if he was invisible.

“I guess I can take on this job.”

“I’m busy.”

“you?”

“yes.”

“Why are you busy?”

“I haven’t reached the level I want with my swordsmanship yet.”

“What is more important than this situation right now?”

Others agreed with the old man’s words.

“Look at the former Duke. While he was handling the sword, he did not neglect other things either. “He got married in his 30s and had two children.”

On the other hand, the man who was called the youngest was so focused on swordsmanship that he could not even date. The person concerned was not dissatisfied with it, but others felt differently. The old man and the middle-aged man turned the topic to him and started talking.

“I should meet other ladies soon.”

“I need to get married and have children.”

“Isn’t it impossible to marry a sword? Ferdi.”

The man, Ferdi, sighed deeply. I felt like I wanted to get out of this place right away. However, it is an important meeting held at a time when a bounty is on the head of the family. I couldn’t move until the conclusion was reached. Besides, the people here are doing this because they are worried.

A child from a fallen noble family was taken into the hands of the duke. From then on, it was the duke and his vassals who raised him. To Ferdi, they were family. I couldn’t get along with Maia and Richt, who had unique personalities.

“I take care of my marriage.”

“You’re nagging me because I can’t do that.”

“... ... “I will take charge of this matter.”

Only then did the subject return to the imperial court. At least this time I got out of the marriage story. Ferdi clenched her fists under her desk.

‘I survived!’

Afterwards, there was a lot of talk about how to deal with the imperial family. And after the meeting was over. Ferdi started moving right away with the intention of finishing quickly.

“Because we have touched bare skin before.”

When Ferdi heard those words, his complexion turned pale.

“Are you saying you touched that child?”

“What a child. “Richt is an adult, and as long as he is an adult, isn’t he allowed to touch other people?”

Yes, that would be true for a normal adult. But Ferdi knew Richt’s damn personality. She is sensitive and stubborn and does not like to be touched by others. When he didn’t really know her personality yet, he tried to pet her because he thought she was cute and then got kicked in the shins.

It seemed unlikely that Richt would allow his body to others. Especially for a man like that. So, the conclusion is that it was done by force.

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

There were too many points to point out.

“First of all, the matriarch doesn’t like to come in contact with other people.”

“Couldn’t it be because I love you? Because love is great.”

“It’s absolutely impossible.”

“I’m sure.”

“yes. Besides, if we love each other so much, why isn’t the head of the family here right now? “Why are you putting a bounty on it?”

Richt must have run away. Archduke Graham, who put a bounty on it, is also a crazy person. What kind of obsession is this! Ferdi gritted his teeth. Even though they had an estranged relationship, Richt was his benefactor’s child. I couldn’t let myself fall into the hands of a guy like that.

Abel tapped the handle of the chair with his finger without any response.

‘Maybe I thought too simply.’

I just wanted to know what Richt was like when he was young. It seemed that the vassal’s affection was deeper than expected. Look at that. It’s a face that looks like it could cut him down at any moment.

“Well, there was a little misunderstanding.”

“I don’t care what kind of misunderstanding it is. Just don’t look down on the Devine family. “We will do our best to protect our matriarch.”

Ferdi left those words and stood up. My back feels cold when I turn around. When he left, only the cold teacup remained on the table.

“Are you hated?”

When I tilted my head and asked, the answer came back.

“Yes, I was hated.”

Lauren answered calmly. Although Richt was not on good terms with her vassals, they were tied together due to her previous succession. Unless his presence disappears, the vassals cannot completely abandon Licht.

“Wasn’t this something you did with full preparation?”

“Yes, but. “By the way, is there any other news from the side that issued the bounty?”

“doesn’t exist.”

“Shall we raise the amount?”

“It’s still a huge amount, isn’t it?”

“Then why is there no news?”

“It seems like he’s hiding well.”

Lauren answered that question and turned her attention back to work. Abel tormented Lauren some more and then went out with her sword. Her chest was so tight that she thought about trying to move her body.

‘I want to see you.’

I missed Licht, who was cooing so cutely.

‘I want to touch it too.’

The feel of the skin sticking to my hands was very good. All the time Abel was swinging his sword, he could not erase his thoughts about Richt.
