My Lucky Encounter From the Game Turned Into Reality - Chapter 8

The chance in the game becomes reality Episode 8

3. Battlefield (2)

After the decision was made to join the war, there were many conversations between my family, but they were mainly emotionless business conversations.

Size of troops and selection of auxiliary personnel, including staff attendants.

Advice on the deployment ceremony to be held the day after tomorrow and the route of movement after deployment.

It was all about the military, including joining the Western Command and the positions and precautions to be taken.

My mother’s complexion became even darker because no one was worried about my safety.

“If my father’s decision is like that, I can’t help it, but I won’t stand by if it tarnishes my family’s honor.”

Cedric gives me advice in a very condescending tone.

At 23 years old (25 years old in Korea), I’m not that young, but I don’t know why my actions feel so immature.

Is it because it’s too big?

“I will try my best.”

Cedric seemed to not like my half-baked answer and tried to add another word, but his father intervened at the right time to stop him.

“Adrian, let’s talk for a moment.”

Currently, in addition to the family, many servants and retainers were sitting in the office.

My father removed my escort to see if he wanted to say something privately and led me to the outdoor balcony.

My father said while admiring the night view of the estate spread out beneath his feet.

“Once this situation calms down, I plan to move you and Sylvia to the King’s Territory. If there is a city you want, please tell me. “I will provide generous support.”

An unexpected story.

This time, they say there is nothing they can do because of the cause of war, but will Anna, who hates the idea of me moving to a place out of sight, allow it?

“I guess you think it’s a reward for sending out troops in Cedric’s place. From now on, you can live your life doing what you want without worrying about what others think.”

It seems to mean that there is a story even if it doesn’t show up.

However, because her trust in Anna and Cedric was at a low level, she could not accept her father’s offer as is.

If she is persistent and does something, it is questionable whether her father, who is very concerned about her maternal family, will be able to stop her.

“All right. “I’ll think about it.”

So I answered formally without attaching much significance to it.

But are parents still parents?

My father laughed bitterly at my reaction.

“It looks like you don’t trust me.”

It has to be that way.

When he was attempted to poison himself at age 7, his father’s response was extremely disappointing.

“Whether you trust me or not, everything will happen after I return safely from the battlefield.”

“That’s right.”

“Thank you for caring me. “We’ll talk about the rest when we get back.”

My father nodded in agreement with my words and took out two rings with blue gems from his arms and handed them to me.

“What is it?”

“It is an artifact containing a class 5 auto shield and a class 7 great shield.”

An advanced artifact that will greatly improve your survivability.

In particular, the artifact containing class 7 magic was an item that could easily be called a treasure.

I had to look quite surprised because it was a very valuable item.

“thank you.”

I didn’t refuse and took the two rings.

These days, space movement disruption systems have become the default option on the battlefield, making escape using blink or teleportation nearly impossible.

That’s why my father gave me a defense artifact.

“In order to survive, you will have to act wisely.”

“yes.”

If I’m lucky, it may only end in a local war, but if it turns into a full-scale war, I have to take care of myself.

However, even if the Croisen Empire is not established, the Kingdom of Reinharts is also a recognized power on the Defteron Continent.

This time too, we will form a united front with our allies, so even if it escalates into an all-out war, it will not lead to a crisis where the survival of the country is at stake.

“Let’s go in.”

As I walked from the balcony into the room, I saw Anna and Cedric staring at me.

When Anna made eye contact with me, she smiled kindly.

It was a very hateful smile, but I smiled back.

Her father looked at her and cautiously opened his mouth.

“You don’t have to worry about Sylvia. “Please feel free to leave.”

Although he has already disappointed me many times, the only person he can trust is his father.

I gave my father a look with a lot of meaning and responded coldly.

“Of course you should. Please. father.”

“…okay.”

* * * When

Sylvia, who was shooting resentful eyes, and Adrian, who was calm until the end, returned to their mansion, only the Viscount and Anna were left in the castle office.

“You didn’t forget to not interfere with those two, right?”

“You…”

“I hope you don’t disappoint your wife anymore.”

When the Viscount told her to stop all types of threats, including surveillance, against Adrian and Sylvia, Anna briefly clicked her tongue and stood up.

“Do you understand?”

“all right!”

And when Anna left the office in frustration, the Viscount sank deep into the sofa.

“Ugh.”

But then a severe, unbearable headache struck me.

Seeing the Viscount’s unusual appearance, the butler, who had entered the office as if taking a shift with Anna, came running in panic.

However, the Viscount raised his hand to stop the butler and said coldly:

“Stay out.”

“But…”

“Uh-huh!”

“Oh, I understand.”

As the butler ran out of the office, the Viscount was left alone and fiddled with the ring on the index finger of his right hand.

“Pain relief.”

As the blue light that started from the ring enveloped his entire body, the Viscount’s expression gradually softened.

And after a while, the Viscount, who was leaning on the sofa like a corpse, stood up, brushing his disheveled brown hair back to his head as if nothing had happened.

“So you played Beomjae as expected?”

The Viscount approached the bar and poured whiskey into a glass, thinking of his second son, Adrian.

A child who was said to be a prodigy and absorbed knowledge with great horror.

Although he was no longer a prodigy after the poisoning attempt, the look in his eyes while talking about Sylvia’s safety was full of anticipation that was incomparable to that of his successor, Cedric.

Even the person ruling an area would flinch.

If Anna had received that gaze, she would have tried to deal with Adrian, thinking that he could become a threat at any time.

“That guy…”

Those eyes weren’t meant to be directed at his parents, but the viscount was in a pretty pleasant mood right now.

The belated interest in the second son may have caused a stir within the family, but it was the Viscount who became increasingly interested in Adrian.

* * *

When we returned to the mansion, my mother poured out the tears she had been holding back for so long.

He said he was sorry for not being able to help me due to his lowly status, as if it was my mother’s fault that my participation in the war was my mother’s fault.

“You guys go out.”

I comforted my mother and ordered all the attendants to leave the room.

“yes? We…”

“If it’s because of the order given by our eldest mother, there’s no need to worry. “Maybe even if I take out my anger on you, you will turn a blind eye for now.”

Some of the people Anna had planted hesitated, but when I glared at them as if they were going to kill me, they left the room as if they had been burned.

My anger now is very justified.

There was no reason for Anna to get on my nerves when I went to battle on behalf of Cedric.

After confirming that the attendants had left, I smiled at my mother.

“Mom, you don’t have to worry. “You know that your son behaves well.”

“But I don’t think I’m going to drag you away and harm you for no reason…”

My mother knows that the fact that I, who used to be intelligent, turned into a criminal was not an aftereffect of the poisoning.

That’s why he reacted this way because he thought that the reason he hid his abilities to survive and the reason he played an incompetent character that Anna and Cedric would like was all because of his humble background.

“If you give it to me, it would be better for me.”

“what?”

But is it because my reaction during the conversation was different from what I thought?

The mother wiped away tears and gave a questioning look.

“The more charges there are to deal with those two, the better, right?”

A line that destroys the mother’s thoughts.

My mother was so surprised that her bright blue eyes grew in size and her shoulders shook.

“Oh Adrian? “What does that mean?”

And he kept looking around, worried that someone might be listening.

“Do not worry. “Arsia is guarding the outside of the door.”

“But…”

You don’t have to worry about listening devices or surveillance cameras.

No matter how incompetent I acted, the only thing I did not allow was listening devices and surveillance cameras.

I was adept at finding the two devices, and whenever I found the items, I calmly reported them to the Yeongji Public Security Office (police station).

No matter how powerless I am, if the lord’s child reports through the regular line, they have to face consequences one way or another.

This will definitely reach my father’s ears as well.

Anna may have not expected my report, but in a hasty manner, she blamed the wrong person like she did in the previous poisoning attempt.

And from then on, the same thing was repeated every time the surveillance device was discovered, so bad rumors were bound to spread among Youngjimin.

In the end, Anna had to give up the equipment and monitor me through human resources.

In other words, we have reached an unspoken agreement to monitor but keep a certain line.

“I have no intention of just being bullied. There’s not much left. “Please wait a little longer.”

“What about you?”

Is it because my innocent son disappeared?

Or is it a declaration of war against Anna and Cedric?

The mother, whose tears had dried, opened her mouth like a carp and then hiccuped.
