The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 29

Episode 29

“The ledger clearly states that we are accepting 200 trainees and providing free lessons. “Where are all those practitioners now?”

“They had a hard time during training, so they gave up and went back to their hometown. “He even took the equipment and ran away.”

“You mean all 200 people? And are you saying that all 200 practitioners are from local areas? That’s strange. It is clearly said that free lessons are being provided to increase popularity in the capital, but the students are drawn from the provinces.”

“You ran away! And it doesn’t matter where I choose it, it’s my heart!”

“Well, there’s a list and an address, so if you research it, you’ll know.”

Raoul examined the suspicious details one by one, and the commander-in-chief, Baron Xander, struggled to make excuses.

“It says that swords worth 100 gold were given as birthday presents to the baron heads of the family, but upon investigation, they said they received mass-produced swords worth 10 gold. “What happened?”

“It is written that 100 C-rank mercenaries were long-term employed as mansion guards. Where are they now? Surely the mansion guards right now aren’t just 20 F-class mercenaries holding spears?”

“Parties were often held in the main building of the mansion. However, the baron’s wedding celebration party, the baron’s son’s academy entrance celebration party, the baron’s sister-in-law’s birthday party, and the baron’s boar hunting celebration party. “What does this have to do with our count family? Are you using funds from the mansion’s operating expenses?”

Baron Xander became less and less talkative.

Perhaps he was amazed at how Raoul had figured all this out.

Last night Raoul was very busy.

After realizing that some of the documents left in the Count’s office were fake, Raoul accompanied Pierce and infiltrated the Baron’s real mansion.

The Baron may have thought it was well hidden, but unless it was at a certain level, it was difficult to escape Raoul’s analysis and Pierce’s observation skills.

Raoul quietly took the ledger from a secret safe hidden in the Baron’s office, and Bernard analyzed the ledger and data and organized them into a small booklet.

The creation of dozens of pamphlets in a short period of time was Raoul’s work using the ‘document copy’ skill hidden in the skill book.

And now.

The blood relatives who attended without thinking, instigated by Baron Xander, were speechless as they looked at the data.

At first glance, the amount of money that Baron Xander stole was no joke.

Those on the other lines along with Baron Xander were busy rolling their eyes at the thought that the situation was turning strangely, while those from other factions were just watching the situation with interest.

“So, in the end, it is estimated that more than 50,000 gold out of the 100,000 gold paid for the mansion’s operating expenses this year was embezzled. “Is there anyone who has any disagreement with my intention to dismiss Baron Xander from his position as Minister-General?”

The hall fell into silence.

It was then.

Clap clap clap!!

“Amazing, amazing! “I’m really impressed!”

Baron Xander, who had been silent for a while, raised his head stiffly, clapped his hands, and shouted.

“How long have you been preparing? 1 year? 2 years? “You’re a really bad person, too.”

Raoul stared at him, curious as to what he was going to do again.

Baron Xander asked, picking up the booklet he had thrown on the floor.

“everyone. When you saw this, didn’t you think it was strange? I have never seen such a thoroughly organized ‘interim’ audit report in my life! “Even if you conduct a formal investigation, you usually end up with a two- or three-page report at best, but the report is a whopping 30-page booklet!”

People murmured at his words. In fact, people here have rarely come across reports longer than ten pages.

Because he didn’t have a fiefdom and didn’t have subordinates who were that good at work.

“My nephew standing over there said he arrived yesterday and created this report in one day. But do you think that makes sense? This is clearly a fake report that was prepared over a long period of time! “This is a ploy by my family to fire me from my position as governor and keep us in the capital in check!!”

The sympathizers who had been rolling their eyes at Baron Xander’s words stood up like wildfire and shouted.

“That’s right! It really doesn’t make sense. “This must be a political ploy!!”

“It’s clear that the main family is trying to reduce the budget!!”

“Once Baron Xander is dismissed, he may use various excuses to reduce support to his blood relatives!”

As various sounds came out and the room became chaotic, Baron Xander raised his hand to calm the crowd.

“Now that things have come to this, we have no intention of letting go. Jackson!”

At his call, a knight standing behind him ran over and handed over some documents.

“This is a document listing our demands. “If you will obediently sign and leave, I will forgive your rudeness today.”

Baron Xander spoke to Raoul in an arrogant tone and waved the document.

“Please check Sir Jake.”

Following Raoul’s instructions, Jake strode forward, snatched up the document, and read it.

“Let’s see.” Our Requirements. The ownership of the Hana Capital Mansion is transferred to the joint names of Baron Xander and other blood relatives. However, from now on, the managers, including the commander-in-chief, of the capital mansion will be decided by blood relatives residing in the capital. “The swordsmanship that is only taught to the main family is shared with the blood relatives of the branch families indefinitely… What kind of bullshit is this!?”

Jake, who was reading the document, frowned and cursed.

“These crazy people are out of their minds!! What do you think about those guys who used the money we earned from risking our lives and messing around with monsters to party wildly in the capital? Soyouguo~uhn!? Geomsuul!? “Eat shit!!”

“Have you seen such a rude guy!! How could a knight without a title speak so carelessly! “Is this really what the original family means?!”

As Baron Xander pointed and shouted, Jake stuck out his stomach and shouted in front of him.

“The title is a piece of cake! Twice!! A guard dog has kept the house for a long time instead of its owner, so you want to give it up because it’s his house? “This is the most novel bullshit I’ve ever heard in my life, you bastards!”

With Chara!

visor!

Baron Xander, whose face was bright red, took out his sword and pointed it at Jake, and at the same time, sounds of weapons being drawn out were heard from all over the place.

“Sir Jake. “Please stop coming in.”

“Yes, Confucius!”

Jake crumpled the documents he was holding, threw them on the floor, and returned to his seat.

Even though Baron Xander’s sword was right in front of him, his attitude was that he didn’t care at all.

In fact, Baron Xander did not dare to swing his sword.

The three knights standing next to Raoul are members of the Golden Bear Order.

Among the knights who were said to be flying around in the county, the Golden Bear Knights were the only place where only 100 people could enter.

These people were dressed in black knightly uniforms, and the emblem of a roaring golden bear engraved on their red cloaks felt intimidating just by looking at them.

Baron Xander, who had drawn his sword but could not bear to swing it, spoke with his mouth trembling.

“Raul! He insulted us. If you don’t cut off his head and apologize, I will assume that you and the Count share the same thoughts as him. “If you don’t want to see real blood, apologize right away!”

Raoul looked at Baron Xander blankly and said with a grin.

“Well, I didn’t say anything particularly wrong, so I don’t know why you’re angry. Hey Baron. “Now let’s stop acting like shit.”

Raoul put down the pamphlet he was holding on the floor without hesitation and stroked the sheath of his sword.

“Anyway, from the beginning, I never expected that the matter would be solved with a piece of paper like that. Still, I thought he would be a little embarrassed, but I guess the Baron was a much greater person than I thought.”

Slurp. bang!

Raoul slowly pulled the sword out of its scabbard and slashed the blade toward the floor.

“So what do you really want? “You probably didn’t think that I would just obediently put my stamp on something like that.”

Baron Xander instantly felt cold sweat running down his spine.

It was definitely not the reaction he expected.

‘No, the third child has a weak personality and is indecisive? They said he was an idiot who didn’t know how to use a sword properly. Where did he look?’

In his experience, that was the momentum of a predator. A real predator that can only be found in the wild!

It was difficult to find people with that kind of spirit in the capital.

The idiots standing behind were already so overwhelmed that they couldn’t say anything.

‘Who would have thought that the saying that there is no guardian under the auspices is true! The first and second children are monsters, and even the youngest….’

But I couldn’t back down now. Well, he was just a 15-year-old kid, so it was enough to just break his momentum.

“Huh! It’s no use trying to bluff. “If you don’t put your seal on that paper today, you won’t be able to leave this place!”

When Baron Xander finished speaking as if he were swearing and made a signal with his hand, the energy in the room changed completely.

Ta-ta-ta-ta-dak.

Slurp!

The nobles’ guards and private soldiers who had decided to accompany Baron Xander all took out their weapons, and the soldiers outside blocked the entrance.

“Oh, are you really saying let’s do this? baron. “Are you aware that you are waging war on the Count family?”

Raoul asked calmly without blinking.

Rather, it was the blood relatives who were surprised and went into an uproar.

“Baron Xander! I’ve never heard of anything like this! “Didn’t you say you were just protesting?”

“Are you really planning on getting into a knife fight with Bonga? “This is so crazy!”

“I will fall! “Let me out!!”

However, the soldiers blocking the road were steadfast.

The nobles who came here without knowing anything seemed to have no way to escape since they were not accompanied by a few guards.

“Stupid to the end. It’s like you’re already in the same boat. Didn’t everyone sign this document? “Do you really think the Count will forgive you if you leave this place?”

At the Baron’s words, they had no choice but to gather in a corner of the banquet hall and watch the situation in a daze, unable to do either this or that.

“Is it all sorted out now? So the Baron. What do you plan to do now? “I have no intention of putting a seal on it.”

When Raoul asked without any signs of nervousness, Baron Xander shouted in a heated voice.

“Raul! I guess you don’t understand the situation, but with one command from me, 30 knights and hundreds of soldiers here will rush towards you! “Do you think you can take on all of them, even if they are the Golden Bear Knights?”

And although he didn’t say anything, he also prepared a secret weapon.

It was obvious that if they went forward, the Golden Bear Knights would not be able to do much.

But the Baron had no idea that Raoul already knew of their existence.

‘As expected, the other factions are just watching in silence. If that’s the case, there’s nothing to be concerned about.’

Raoul calmly assessed the situation and asked with a grin.

“whatever?”
