Egret

Chapter 12. The West End

"What greed?

Carney asks with curiosity, full of red-eyed eyes.

Then Uni shrugged with a slight expression.

There was a farmhouse famous for the most fertile land in the land. Yuli has delicious fruits, and the sheep came out more relentlessly than any other land. It was a blueberry farm run by couples and daughters, and as they became more and more famous, guests came looking for the fruits of the house! So the greedy lord saw it and tried to die very sick.

Raven's lords have finally reached the point of taking away the farm.

He deliberately caused an accident at the farm, turned the sin upside down, confiscated all the property, including the farm, and even took the farmer's beautiful wife as his concubine.

And the thirteen-year-old girl, who was among them, dragged him away as a maid.

I couldn't take her as a young concubine, so I decided to give her a maid job.

But when the farmer's wife asked for a concubine, she strangled herself.

During the day, the farmer, who had lost his land, property and wife, turned his eyes upside down and ran to the lord.

However, he was beaten to death because he dared to harm the nobility.

The farmer who was wrongly struck in the head and killed in the process of subjugation died, cursing the lord.

‘You.... The heavens have seen your evil deeds, and the earth has seen them. All the trees that grow in your land will not bear flowers, nor will they bear fruit. You won't get anything you want... ’

The strange thing happened after that.

It was as if the earth had heard the curse, and since that day no fruit had really been opened from all the trees.

But now that only one year had passed, the lord took it lightly.

There were plenty of spare parts, such as soaked liquor or dried blueberries, which had already been harvested with negligence, and there were many benefits he could take even if it wasn't blueberries.

Eventually, the farmer's curse at this point resulted in the killing of the inhabitants of other farms by blood rather than the lords.

"But isn't that a curse? No matter how grudging you are, you don't even have the advantage, but it doesn't make any sense that everything was done as you said.

Uni sat on Judas' shoulders, shaking his legs and adding words.

I can feel the energy of the Command. Obviously, there's a commander involved in this.

“Hmm.”

Oops, his steps stopped.

The group therefore stopped altogether.

Judas opens his mouth with an eye to Edan, Baikal and Sage, who were closest to him.

“From now on, I will. ”

“Yes.”

“I was going to be a fool. ”

“ ……? ”

I didn't make any noise because it was ridiculous.

On behalf of a hardened group, Edan approached me.

“…… Yes? ”

“Would you like to play a little silly with me? ”

“…… Yes? ”

Judas smiles as he looks at the group that has already become a fool.

* * *

“Hahaha. How much trouble did you have coming all the way here? ”

“Haha. No, Earl. The landscape is beautiful and the sights are as numerous as the stars of the night sky, so there was no room for trouble. ”

“You're not as susceptible as young people these days. Huh? Marquis Drocella's nephew? ”

The sound of a defensive laugh echoed from the mansion.

Judas was confronting the lord of Raven's realm, Count Raven.

His temporary identity was the Marquis' nephew, Dino Callen, who began from a distant territory and was the cult of the travelling author.

It was very common for nobles to visit nobles in other parts of the country and be treated.

This allowed them to make their acquaintances and to wait for the political line.

Lobby comes in a friendly encounter.

Apparently, even though I just stopped by for a little greeting during the trip, this meeting between nobles was a hospitality that took care of each other.

The escorts were all waiting outside, and Sage, who was introduced as a brother, was sitting there with only a drink.

“Oh, yeah. Now that I'm here at Raven, I've already tried the specialty wine. How was it?”

A nobleman of the Empire learns about wine culture from the age of 12.

Prohibited for being a minor were professional bars or public bars.

A bottle of wine is usually allowed in private meetings or dining in a relaxed atmosphere.

Judas had a very interesting expression and did not clasp his hands.

“I was wondering if it was a specialty. ”

“No! You haven't even tasted it yet? Let me tell you what that tastes like. ”

Earl Raven touched lightly.

The butler who knew the sign took out a bottle of wine wrapped in a piece of thick cloth from the glass.

Then I started to follow the wine with a tilt on the crystal glass.

Judas, who stared at the glass as he watched the wine rise, opened his mouth toward the Count.

“Blueberry wine. It's sweet and fragrant, unlike any normal wine. ”

“Oh, my God, I can't even describe the taste. I know what to eat. If you weren't me, you'd be embarrassed to say you visited Raven somewhere. ”

“Haha, that's it. ”

Unlike Judas, who replied pleasantly, Sage sat beside him with an anxious expression and rolled his eyes.

The Earl did not get involved in the conversation, but gave the cup to Sage who noticed.

“Your brother doesn't have the manhood. Why are you so nervous? ”

“ ……. ”

Sage only looked at a glass of fine wine and did not shut his mouth firmly.

Now I can see the Count's luxury even in the eyes of a child who is only fourteen.

Large villas, top-quality timber, and jewelry are more than necessary.

A fine crockery bowl with all kinds of scattered delicacies that are hard to taste in agriculture-oriented territories was brought to me by Maids with a beautiful appearance.

Moreover, Cancan's wine bottles along the glass cabinet were of the highest quality, soaked in blueberries that were nowadays untouchable.

The Earl, who looked at Sage with an open, uncomfortable look, quickly lost interest and gained his gaze.

“I've been following you for 12 years in the year of the devastating drought. ”

Earl Raven lifted the glass first.

He followed Judas and faced a glass of wine with a stubborn hand.

Sage remained silent with her hands on her knees, staring at the cup she had been given.

“Sai hasn't learned to take the lead yet. So don't mind and say, ”

“Hmmm.”

Earl, who coughed with his unworthy eyes, tried to say what Judas said again.

“…… It's the fruit of nature. The more drought, the more intense the flavor will be. Do not sag and absorb sunlight as it is. Even though the trees are still shredded, I expect to bear precious fruits like this 12-year-old mountain this year. ”

“Indeed, the more precious it is, the more glowing it is. Isn't it fun to get it if you don't get it easily? ”

“Oh! You already know that fun? You speak well of yourself. ”

Earl leaned on his knees smiling.

Then I put the wine in a mouthful.

As the Earl glanced, Judas tilted the cup he was holding.

The blueberry-specific big aroma filled my mouth.

“What do you think? Raven's best drink. Thousands of people can't dare to talk to their mouths even if they work in the fields for the rest of their lives. I wasn't even serious with the Emperor. Only the harvest of this land is dedicated to me. Today I brought it out to shine a special light on your encounter. ”

“ ……. ”

“Is this enough for the guests of my mansion to enjoy themselves? ”

It was very brief, but Judas' gold eye sank cold.

Judas, however, handed it over to the deep inside with the wine.

He closes his eyes as if savoring the taste. He gently raises his mouth and answers.

“Every pleasure. Every visitor seeking this land will praise the Count's grace. ”

Once again, a hoarse laugh echoed through the parlour.

Out of the window of darkness, their laughter burst forth with light.

Sage couldn't get in until she lost her place in a smiling and buzzing atmosphere.

I could not understand Judas' behavior, although it was foretold and seen by the group.

‘Isn't this really stupid? ’

The wise brother already knew about this mansion.

Suggesting ‘foolishness’, Judas told the group the story of the Raven people who suffered from the Lord's wickedness.

Sage was furious at the fact that he was exploiting his people by abusing his power away from the eyes of the monarch and was thinking of pulling Count Raven out immediately.

Judas, however, suggested another way by drying out his excited brother.

‘It doesn't solve all the poisons that you can see right away, even poisoned people. ’

You will need to find the mark and use the right remedy.

Judas came to the Count's mansion and imitated a fool nobleman who was blinded by luxury and amusement.

Sage just kept his mouth shut like a clam because it was difficult to fit the drape to his act.

At the end of the meal, Earl felt better and said he would give them a big, nice room and give them to a woman, so that they could choose their own meals with a thin slip in front of them.

Sage was frightened by the wind and looked at his brother, but Judas did not refuse.

Rather, he even specified the details and demanded them.

“I'd rather be younger than me. Intolerant rather than bold. I don't want to get caught by a woman. ”

“Argh, you're still young, too. The more aggressive the bitch is, the deeper the flavor. ”

The Earl looked through the Maids with his ugly eyes and made a wine-flattering appearance.

“Well, pick it up to your liking. I don't mean to interrupt the fun, so don't worry, I'll let you out. ”

“Thank you for your kindness. I don't know how to repay all this silver ball.. ”

“If you just go back and tell Marquis the truth, I'll pay you back. Rest easy when you do. ”

As soon as the Count left the parlour, Sage, who was as stiff as a statue, refused to entertain the women, saying he did not need them.

However, Judas, who thought the postponement was over, had carefully identified a girl within a few days who was standing in front of the maids.

“Let's go with this kid. ”

Brother?! ’

What he pointed to was a young girl who had suffered so badly that her blood was spilled out.

But no one disputed his decision.

The nobility's choice in this mansion was absolute.

The girl's actual age was already fourteen, a time when she could not be seen as a child.

You can't refuse a child because they are all immature.

The countless girls followed me into the room, frightened.
