My Lucky Encounter From the Game Turned Into Reality - Chapter 29
The chance in the game becomes reality Episode 29
10. Time for Revenge (1)
An unexpected incident occurred in the middle, but our territory army that participated in the war against the Croesian Empire was able to safely reach their destination.
“Adrian! Are you okay? “Are you hurt anywhere?”
“Mom, calm down. “I’m fine.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“thank you. father.”
Finally returned home.
It was his return just three months after the military departure ceremony at the territory.
He must have already received a medal on the battlefield. If things go as planned, it would not be strange if it continued with a parade.
But the estate was as quiet as ever, and the only people who welcomed me were my father, mother, and a few retainers.
“I’m sorry. I should have welcomed you with a grand ceremony…”
Seeing my father smiling bitterly, saying he had no shame, I understood the rough situation going on.
This is Anna and Cedric’s doing.
The thought was, why hold a parade for someone who is going to die anyway?
“I’m not the type of person who likes to make a fuss.”
My father repeatedly apologized and led me to Yeongju Castle.
“Instead, we have prepared a lot of food for you, so let’s eat and drink and enjoy the joy of our return.”
Just because my mother welcomed me safely, I can say that my father fulfilled his role faithfully.
The way I reacted to the attempted poisoning was disappointing, but now that I think about it, I think it might have been for the best.
If we had dug deeper into the case and touched Anna at that time, we would have been eliminated by her biological family for sure.
This humiliation is all because the family has no power.
Just before entering the territory, I glanced at the sky fortress floating above the territory.
[Energy saving mode]
Then, after reading the information displayed on the Mangyeong, the corners of his mouth curled in satisfaction.
A banquet for the soldiers was held in the garden of Yeongju Castle, and maids and servants were busy delivering food and alcohol.
However, the soldiers seemed to have their wits about them, so they did not just welcome the welcome ceremony and were busy keeping an eye on me.
“What are you doing? “It’s a welcome ceremony for us, so we should enjoy it.”
My parents, who didn’t know the reason, tilted their heads at the strange atmosphere, but from the perspective of the expedition team who knew my true nature, it was no different from being in an imminent situation that could explode at any moment.
As I joked and winked, the Vanguards, including William, nodded loudly and raised their voices.
“That’s right! All right!”
“now! “Let’s raise our glasses!”
My father and mother looked surprised when all my subordinates treated me with contempt and showed signs of difficulty.
Both of them were like, “What is this?”
“Thank you Sir William for your hard work.”
“It was an honor to fight together!”
“Sir Albert also had a hard time.”
“Thanks to you, Master, I was able to come back alive! thank you!”
And my parents’ questioning reactions grew even stronger as they watched me give encouragement to the drivers and officers.
The reason is that even the so-called Anna+Cedric faction were groveling to me.
Then, as we approached the soldiers, they cheered as if welcoming a triumphal general.
Even though I returned from a major career, I felt like the once quiet estate had become noisy thanks to them.
“You have learned how to win people’s hearts on the battlefield.”
My father was happy to see me being recognized by everyone, but he looked at the expedition team with a bitter look on his face.
I’m not paying much attention here, but my father’s face is full of regret.
That look felt like he was telling me he was sorry.
I think it’s my father who needs to be comforted, not me.
“From now on, my father will no longer have to show weakness.”
A statement with many implications.
Of course, my parents were shocked.
And before I could say anything more…
“Adrian!?”
A guest appeared.
A very welcome guest.
“It’s been three months since I saw you.”
I politely greeted Anna and Cedric, who were approaching with the knight commander and butler.
However, I slowly raised my head and sneered at Anna, and her expression, which looked like she had seen a ghost, was distorted by my smile.
“That’s right. “I’m back.”
However, behind Anna, a person with a particularly bright expression stands out.
I looked around to see if there was someone there, and I couldn’t help but be curious because it was Anna’s closest butler.
[Maurice Goodyear]

Affiliation: Rhineharts Kingdom, Viscounty of Lawrence, Lord Castle General Butler
Talents: Office Ability (High) Intellectual Ability (Middle) Magical Ability (Low)
Characteristics: Improvisation
Relationship: Favorable / Hostile Force
Status: Relieved, Joyful
Lee What is this?
I heard that I worked as Anna’s hand and foot for over 30 years, and according to Man-kyung’s information, I could see that she had a crush on me, as if I was inevitably under her.
‘It’s an unexpected discovery, isn’t it? ‘If I can convert it, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to use it.’
Next, my gaze turned to the Knight Commander, the core force of the Anna Cedric faction.
[Klondike / Auror Expert]
Age: 61
Affiliation: Kingdom of Reinharts Viscounty of Lawrence Knights Commander
Talent: Physical ability (high) Auror (high) Learning ability (medium) Intellectual ability (medium)
Characteristics: Power-type management skills
Relationship: Hostile / hostile force
Status: Questionable As expected
of a knight commander, his specs are excellent.
However, when I saw that it was given a strange characteristic called power-type management skills rather than combat ability, I was a bit annoyed.
For some reason, I thought people were calculating, but I guess it was due to their characteristics.
‘Anna and Cedric are as insignificant as ever.’
I looked at Anna and Cedric’s abilities through the magnifying glass and sighed inwardly.
Typically, these were people who were nothing without power.
My stomach boiled over the fact that I had been fooled by these guys.
“You’ve done quite a good job to the point where you won’t be harmed by the family. “Well, I’m not that satisfied, but I’ll just tell you that you did a good job.”
As much as I want to cut off his head, I plan to fill in a few justifications before doing so.
These guys have suffered so much, so why not just kill them cleanly?
We need to create a swamp, use it thoroughly, and strangle it when it despairs.
So for now, I just smiled inexplicably at Cedric’s grinning face.
“Is it good to hear some praise? “A guy with no values.”
Oh, of course, that doesn’t mean I’m going to put up with all of his actions.
After all, doesn’t that sound like a sweet potato?
“Do you think I would be happy to hear your praise? “It’s ridiculous that he talks as if he can do anything.”
“what?”
You have to scratch its insides to reveal its true nature.
The cause I want is to create an atmosphere.
The justification is that these guys are worth dying for.
‘In that sense, that butler’s discovery can be said to be a harvest of its own.’
If we do well, we may be able to bring the assassin case, which was thought to be difficult to identify the mastermind, to the surface.
In many ways, this is the best situation.
I poured out my current feelings through my mouth.
Very exciting.
“If you lead them into battle, will it only lead to annihilation? “It’s nice to see them ignoring their tactics and just charging and then failing.”
“This bastard!?”
“And as people get older, they need to be able to think a little more complexly. “The fact that my facial expression is interpreted as an emotion just because I’m smiling means that you are called a single-celled mojiri among your retainers.”
It was an extreme deal that Cedric would never have dared to imagine.
Cedric, who was struck by the words, gaped like a crucian carp and only let out inexplicable exclamations like ‘This!’
However, my sudden behavior had an unexpected side effect: my father and mother were so shocked that they froze in place like a stone statue.
However, Annaman calmly hid her expression by covering her mouth with the fan she was holding in her hand.
But her eyes were telling me this.
‘You’re crazy because you want to die?’
They looked embarrassed because I, who should have been killed by assassins, came back proudly, but the thought that they had an absolute superiority was clearly reflected in their expressions.
I said with a smile to Anna.
“Ah, is your ignorance due to your maternal influence?”
A light word without weight.
-Changerang!
-Thunk!
However, with just that one word, the maids who were carrying food to welcome Prince Yeongji’s return dropped the trays they were carrying, and the servants who were busy carrying alcohol dropped their bottles.
This time, Anna’s face turned bright red, as if she had a hard time controlling her expression, and just like Cedric, she could only make the sound of ‘Eye!’
“what? If you have something to say, say it straight away. “Don’t act so noble that it doesn’t suit you.”
Who wouldn’t say it’s a hat? The reaction is the same.
I looked at Arcia, slyly asking why these people were like this, and she, who was chewing sausages like a rabbit eating carrots next to me, shrugged her shoulders and said she didn’t know.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
However, Cedric’s subsequent reaction was quite unexpected.
Isn’t this a sudden outburst of laughter?
“This guy came back from the battlefield and became quite rough. “I lost my fear.”
And sure enough.
Cedric pulled out the decorative dagger hanging from his waist and aimed it at me.
“Cedric!”
My father and mother, who were in a panic over my sudden behavior, quickly went out to help.
“What are you doing on a happy day!”
“Adrian just came back from the battlefield and seems tired! “First of all, take that knife…”
My father urged us and my mother desperately defended me, but Cedric was not one to listen to such words.
When the guy closed the distance with an expression that seemed to really stab me, my father got really angry.
“Can’t you put down that sword?”
“I’m sorry, father, but please watch in silence.”
The first son is trying to harm the second son, but what father would just sit by and watch?
However, Cedric’s story that followed was beyond everyone’s expectations, including mine.
“Adrian, this guy is playing over your head. I know why you suddenly act like this. “Isn’t all this because of the instigation of rebels?”
My father’s expression hardened at the word ‘rebellion’, which was bound to be sensitive to nobles.
And Cedric’s dagger was not aimed at me, but at William, the vice-captain of the knights.
“You dare aim to overthrow the family? “You’re crazy.”
I looked at Cedric in bewilderment, and William also tilted his head, asking what he was talking about.
“Didn’t you try to persuade Adrian to divide the family?”
It seems that someone heard the first suggestion that William made to me.
That was passed on to Cedric and led to this situation.
“It’s absolutely absurd. “Is it true, Sir William?”
Anna seemed to think that Cedric’s response was not bad, so she glanced at her father and said something.
The father could not hide his embarrassment at the accusations against William.
That’s because William was a key figure in the Yeongju faction.
“Hurry up and capture this rebel!”
Cedric’s shout of triumph.
“What are they doing! “Go ahead and disobey the instructions!”
The instructions to capture William were directed to the expeditionary force that went through the battlefield with him.
Anna and Cedric are the real powers of the family.
Of course, even if you have shared hardships with William on the battlefield, you should not refuse their orders…
“If you want to capture Vice-Captain William, Master Cedric will do it himself.”
Things are different now than before.
Because among the expeditionary force that returned with me, there was no one who recognized Cedric.
“what? “What did Sir Berto say just now?”
Berto is a knight who once volunteered to be Cedric’s eye and watched over me.
He must have been confident that he was his own person enough to entrust him with a secret mission, but who would have thought that ridicule would come out of his mouth?
“Pfft…”
I eventually burst out laughing.
Laughs flowed from all over the expedition team following me like this.
Cedric, the person involved, also reacted this way.
Anna also holds the real power of the family.
Even my father, the owner of the family.
It was a sight that even my mother, who had raised me for half my life, had never imagined.
“Everyone here knows. “The Sir William you want to get rid of is a loyal subject.”
“How dare these bastards…” This
was the first humiliation I had ever received.
A number of indescribable emotions passed by on Cedric’s face.
In the end, the eyes of the guy who was venting his anger were fixed on me.
And Cedric, unable to overcome his anger, went berserk and swung his dagger.
-chin!
“What is it? girl.”
However, Cedric’s dagger could not reach me and was caught by Arcia, who was tearing open a large turkey leg.
-Well.Well.
Compared to Cedric, who is over 190 cm tall, Arcia, who has the physique of an average woman, looks infinitely smaller.
Cedric’s expression became even more grim as he was so lightly grabbed by Arcia’s arm.
“Let go!”
Cedric made a fuss, but he didn’t even flinch, as if his arm was caught by a rock.
The difference in pure strength without the assistance of Aurors.
It was inevitable that, unlike me, she was a great magician’s homulclus who had been refined into a pure warrior type.
It was not an opponent like Cedric, the alley leader, who could be defeated by force.
And the situation that followed.
-Bah!
It was Cedric getting slapped on a turkey leg.
