The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 27

Episode 27

“This is crazy…”

Baron Xander’s atrocities did not stop at just the party.

The Baron was Raoul’s lodgings, and the annex building of the mansion, not the main building, was left empty.

I couldn’t help but curse when I heard the servant say that the main building could be busy because there were a lot of outside guests, so they had prepared a quiet place so that I could concentrate on my studies.

Of course, Raoul, who came to his house and had no intention of staying in the annex, led his knights and pushed into the main building.

And Raoul, who entered the third floor of the main building, could not help but doubt Baron Xander’s mental state.

Baron Gender’s family was living in a place where only the earl and his family were allowed to stay.

When Raoul saw the Baron sitting in the Count’s office, who he didn’t know would be pushed in by Raoul, he couldn’t stand it any longer.

“What are you going to excuse for this, Baron Xander? Are you planning to say that it is a tradition of the count family that a governor like him dares to occupy the count’s office!?”

But still, Baron Xander seemed to have something to say.

“This is just a temporary loan. “The Count doesn’t come once a year anyway, so wouldn’t it be a waste to leave it empty?”

“Get out now! “If you don’t vacate the mansion today, I will cut off the heads of all of you, relatives and all!”

As Raoul shouted in a harsh voice, the Baron tried to leave the office with an angry look on his face.

Raoul spoke behind him.

“And from this moment on, I will strip you of your position as Commander-in-Chief! “If you have any complaints, come to me tomorrow with reasonable evidence showing that you performed your duties properly as the Commander-in-Chief.”

However, the Baron snorted as if he was dumbfounded and left.

* * *

Raoul remained in his office until the moment the party was settled and the Baron’s family left the main residence.

The office was full of various documents related to the management of the mansion and management of funds.

Raoul was worried that the Baron might destroy the documents, but he didn’t even seem to have any intention of going to the office to retrieve the documents.

‘I would have thought something would happen overnight anyway…’

That was truly disrespectful to Raoul and the group.

Although it is not a prestigious university, Bae Do-hyun graduated from a four-year university majoring in business administration and also had several years of experience working at a small trading company.

And Bernard was the best expert when it came to handling affairs related to the mansion.

Tomorrow, the Baron would probably realize his mistake keenly.

“The Baron has left the mansion with his family.”

Philip said as he entered the office.

“okay? “Did you leave quietly?”

“That’s a bit surprising. “He took only the clothes he really needed and left quietly.”

Raoul chuckled at Philip’s words.

“What a surprise. Just by looking at it, you can see Ggungkkung, right? “You probably think there’s no need to rush and pack your bags since you’ll be returning there anyway.”

“Are you okay? Wouldn’t it have been better to take some time and sort things out slowly?”

Philippe asked worriedly, but Raoul spoke firmly.

“The rotten part has to be cut out quickly. As this takes more time, won’t the Baron have more time to carry out behind-the-scenes maneuvers? “It’s much more efficient to hit him all at once when he’s looking down on us.”

Raoul also tried to get away with it as much as possible. But the Baron went too far.

Looking at his actions, it seemed obvious that Raoul would continue to cause problems in his future endeavors.

‘Until we find a suitable location in the capital, we must use this place as a branch of the First Guild. ‘It’s my house, so I can’t have random people messing around with it.’

Moreover, there was a lot of work to be done in the capital city of Turium.

I couldn’t afford to waste time fighting with Baron Nabulaeng, whose name I didn’t even know.

“It looks like the Baron has another ally, but I’m not sure if something strange will happen.”

Pierce also spoke as if he was a little worried. But Raoul smiled leisurely.

“don’t worry. It doesn’t matter what tricks the Baron does. Sir, please trust our count family a little more.”

In response to Raoul’s words, Jake suddenly put his arm around Philip and Pierce and said,

“What are you so worried about? Let’s stop talking about the headache and go look around the mansion. Shouldn’t we just do as Confucius tells us? Isn’t that right, Confucius?”

Raoul chuckled and nodded.

“I may have to use a bit of energy tomorrow, so you guys should go and get some rest. Bernard stays for a bit. Disband now!”

“now. “Let’s leave quickly!”

As Jake quickly disappeared with the knights, Raoul made eye contact with Bernard.

“You know what to look for, right?”

“Confucius. “This is my specialty.”

“We don’t have much time, so let’s get started quickly.”

And the two started rummaging through the pile of documents piled up in the office.

* * *

Chang! visor!

The two daggers moved in the air as if dancing, their blades clashing.

The way they moved back and forth, left and right, as if they were looking for each other’s gap, was quite sharp.

“one more!”

Two more daggers joined in Raoul’s cheers.

A total of four daggers were divided into two and flew through the air.

But that kind of confrontation is short-lived.

The two daggers on one side seemed to stumble, but soon lost their balance, spun around in the air without permission, and fell to the floor.

“Huh huh…”

Bernard’s face, standing across from Raoul, was completely covered in sweat.

Shirrick.

Raoul, who used telekinesis to retrieve the dagger that was floating in the air, spoke brightly.

“It’s increased a lot? “I never thought I would handle two daggers like that in less than two months.”

“Whew. “There is still a long way to go.”

Bernard caught his breath and spoke stiffly. But Raoul’s praise was sincere.

It has been about a month and a half since Bernard awakened his wind-related superpowers using a skill book.

However, being this skilled in not only handling the wind but also using a dagger meant that this was no ordinary talent.

‘It’s natural for me because I use telekinesis, but it’s really not easy for a wind wizard to use a weapon in such a precise way.’

Since Raoul was originally a telekinesis user, he did not know the training methods of wind wizards.

I simply suggested a path by recalling how famous wind magicians used their supernatural powers in the past.

The most similar thing among them was the technology to use the wind to wield weapons in the air.

To be honest, it’s not yet at a level where it can be used in practice, but that’s only for a moment.

At the current rate of progress, I thought I would reach intermediate level in about 6 months.

At intermediate level, it would be difficult to find a superpower as versatile as a wind wizard.

“Then shall we try martial arts training next? As I said before, it is not easy to demonstrate power with just one superpower. “In the beginning, it is easy and efficient to increase your proficiency by combining it with various methods.”

Raoul instructed Bernard using his telekinesis enhancement technique as an example.

He taught how to strengthen martial arts using wind flow, just as telekinesis assists movement.

However, the moment I was about to start proper martial arts training, Bernard stopped his movements and said.

“It looks like a guest has arrived.”

And right after, Raoul also sensed some bustling movement.

‘As expected, a wind wizard. ‘I can’t keep up with long-distance sensing.’

Even during training, he seemed to be following the instructions well to feel the sensation of distant places through the wind.

Raoul nodded in satisfaction and finished the training.

“let’s go. “As the owner, you have to greet your guests properly.”

“All right. Shall I bring the things I prepared?”

“uh. “You should be rewarded for your hard work last night.”

The corners of Raoul’s mouth slightly turned up.

‘Something always happened after Confucius made an expression like that. I hope you don’t do anything foolish, Baron.’

Bernard shook his head without even realizing it and left the training ground.

* * *

“Have you buried some kind of treasure? “I don’t know why so many people came here.”

Jake clicked his tongue as he looked at the people filling the first floor banquet hall.

At first glance, there seemed to be more than thirty people who appeared to be nobles, and if you include the guards, the number was close to a hundred.

The problem is that they are not the end. Hundreds of soldiers were swarming outside the mansion, as if they had even dragged private soldiers with them.

Moreover, among the escort knights, there were some who gave off a formidable spirit.

No matter how I looked at it, it seemed like it was beyond what Raoul and his group could handle alone.

‘It won’t be easy this time, right? Confucius, what kind of method do you really have?’

The visitors’ mood seemed so unusual that Jake, who was always positive, was worried.

Meanwhile, Baron Xander, who was standing at the forefront of the visitors, had a relaxed expression the whole time.

‘Things worked out well.’

If I made a mistake, I might actually lose my position as general manager, but actually, that didn’t matter.

Rather, a good opportunity presented itself as the young Confucius took the bait.

If not now, he could have ended up just being a groomsman.

‘Now that he is away, I have to finish all my work. That way, I too will be able to occupy a spot.’

He glanced back.

I could see the nobles murmuring with serious expressions.

Their true identity is the blood relatives of the Earl of Ashton who resides in the capital.

Although most of them did not own fiefdoms and only had titles, they were people who ate meals in the capital and spoke loudly.

The reason they gathered together like this is because of what happened last night.

The count’s youngest son, who had just arrived in the capital, not only ruined the party of their representative, Baron Xander, but also dismissed him as governor and kicked him out of the mansion!

This wasn’t just a problem for Baron Xander.

Nobles in the capital, like Baron Xander, often held banquets in the halls of their mansions and at the count’s expense.

In addition, the mansion management fees paid by the main family were flowing into Baron Xander’s pocket, either knowingly or unknowingly.

So, can they stay still when their back pockets are taken away overnight?

Moreover, Baron Xander did not mention any of his own mistakes while reporting the incident.

Only his comrades knew that he had held a party in his name, that he had recklessly used the Count’s office, and that he had treated Raoul poorly and had him stay in the annex.

‘About half of them are idiots who don’t know anything. Real idiots who don’t even know what they’re getting into.’

But after what happened today, they will have no choice.

It started now.

They don’t know what’s important, and they live in a country estate and pretend to be noble.

The idiots who told people to lick their own feet by giving away a small amount of money every year would sooner or later regret it.

‘older brother. I don’t know what I was thinking when I entrusted the seal to my young son, but I will use it well.’

Baron Xander let out a bitter laugh as he pictured in his mind the count who would soon hear the news and catch him in the back.
