The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 33

Episode 33

The situation was quickly resolved.

As Dylan said, the people who were charging at Raoul like a pack of wolves seemed like gentle sheep, and he didn’t even dare to think of swinging a weapon.

My older brother was my older brother, but there were few who could withstand the momentum of the Golden Bear Knights.

I don’t know what they were thinking, but among the knights, there were many high-ranked knights, including the vice-captain.

‘There are at least twenty-five knights who are at least intermediate Sword Expert level…’

It had the power to destroy a decent baronial territory in an instant.

Baron Xander, the instigator of the incident, wanted to somehow turn things around, but it was impossible.

The moment Rafael, the 4th prince of the Randall family, saw Dylan, he took refuge in a corner of the hall with an expression on his face.

And the Knights of the Brennan Republic, who he thought were his secret weapons, avoided the Baron’s eyes as if he had nothing to do with them.

Because there was no reason to get involved now.

When the hall became quiet, Dylan looked around at the people with his arms crossed and shouted with a grin as if he had found a fun toy.

“No, who is this! Isn’t it Randall!! “If your brother is here, shouldn’t you come quickly and say hello?”

Then, Haphael, who was hiding in the corner, reluctantly came forward and said as if he was crawling in.

“Ah, how are you? “Brother Dylan.”

Dylan walked over, patted my shoulder happily, and asked.

“OK. It’s been a few years since I saw it, and it hasn’t changed at all. But what unit were you in?”

At that moment, Rafael bit his lip and looked up at Dylan sharply, but the moment their eyes met, he lowered his head and spoke in a low voice.

“Yes, it’s four.”

“aha! It was unit 4. So, are you still hanging around with Units 3 and 6 these days and harassing the kids?”

“no. “That was some time ago…!”

“huh? “Are you getting annoyed now?”

“Of course not.”

Dylan patted the collar of Rafael, who was lowering his head, and said.

“Looking at our Randall Unit 4, it seems to have been quiet today. If you continue to be that kind, you will never have to meet with your brother again. From now on, it’s a family matter, so I want outsiders to stay out, but how? Do you want to wait a little while and get warmed up?”

Hafael shook his head vigorously, shaking his numb shoulders.

“I’m busy, so I guess I’ll have to go. “Take a look!”

“okay. Go quickly. Oh, and it looks like I’ll be staying for about 15 days, so tell Unit 1 Randall to come see me if he wants to have a fight for the first time in a while.”

When Dylan patted his shoulder one last time and let go, Rafael, whose complexion turned pale, held his bruised shoulder and ran out of the hall.

“From now on, this is a family matter, so I ask bystanders to leave. “Ah, those bastards with weapons out can’t leave, so let’s have a separate interview with me later.”

At Dylan’s words, the knights of the Brennan Republic, spies from each faction, including imperial spies, and onlookers quietly left the hall.

After the place was cleared, Dylan said with a smile.

“Yes, our elders. “Where is the document that requires a stamp?”

Baron Xander and other blood relatives were shaking their legs with pale complexions.

That evening.

Raoul was drinking tea with his eldest brother Dylan in the main office.

“No, brother. How did your sister-in-law and Libby end up here? What are all those drivers doing? “From the vice-captain to the senior knights… was there some kind of war going on?”

“Yonseok! “What are you talking about when you request support?”

“No, no matter how much it is, I think it’s a bit excessive…”

Moreover, Raoul contacted me late last night.

There was too little time to recruit personnel, pack equipment, and arrive at the capital.

Dylan looked at Raoul and smiled.

“It’s okay to say something pointless when you know everything. Could it be that your father gave you a special title and even gave you his official seal without any preparation? And wouldn’t it be easier to resolve the issue only if I were to step forward?”

As Dylan said, if he, the successor, had not come in person, things might not have turned out so easily.

‘Still, if all of those people rode the portal (teleportation magic circle), how much did they spend?’

Considering the distance and more than 20 people, I thought it would have cost almost 3,000 gold.

The annual salary of an ordinary citizen in Connect was about 20 gold, so it was a huge amount of money.

‘It’s not my money anyway.’

Raoul, who had thrown away any unnecessary worries about money, changed the topic.

“So what do you plan on doing? There are almost 30 people….”

“Of course you have to pay for your sins!”

Looking at my brother’s expression, it seemed like it wouldn’t be a problem for a few people to die.

“No, but they are my father’s brothers.”

“That’s why you turned a blind eye until now! “I can’t believe how tight the finances are because of those old people… Anyway, since my father also tolerated it this time, I have to sort it out.”

I felt like this work came from my brother’s mind, not my father’s.

‘They say she’s the hidden fox of the Ashton family.’

Looking at the character information for the storyline found at the Link Cafe, it was clear that Dylan, the eldest son of the Earl of Ashton, was a ‘fox’-like person with good political sense and calculation.

Although his swordsmanship skills are inferior to that of his second son, Lawrence, he was selected as a successor early on due to his unique tolerance and leadership.

‘But you’re an intelligent character with monster-like physical strength? ‘Isn’t this a complete scam?’

Anyone can tell that my eldest brother was a physical person.

Who would look at those massive muscles and think he is a smart person?

When Dylan looked at him with strange eyes, he seemed to have misunderstood something and reached out his hand to ruffle Raoul’s hair and said,

“Don’t worry too much. Because I have no intention of seeing blood. It will just end with the old people cutting off their money lines. And you worked really hard today. “I’m so proud of you as an older brother!”

“Did I do anything? “I just hit it because I didn’t like it.”

“Even though they went all the way through the ledgers, made an audit report, and even ruined the mentality of their elderly relatives with proof from blood relatives, they did nothing. “You cute bastard!”

When his brother put his face in as if he was going to kiss him, Raoul got scared and craned his neck back.

However, it was impossible to escape the clutches of his older brother who was stronger than his father.

In the end, Raoul, who was forced to rub his cheek, sighed and said.

“You should only do this to Libby now. “I’m an adult too!”

Then Dylan stiffened as if he was shocked and spoke gloomily.

“I want to do that too, but your sister-in-law keeps not letting me even touch Libby. Am I your dad? why? “For what!”

Raoul looked down at his brother’s hand shaking his shoulder and understood his sister-in-law’s feelings.

‘I think it will be difficult to touch my nephew for a while with those clumsy hands that look like they could fold a pot lid in half, brother.’

Raoul expressed his condolences in his heart and took out a document from his pocket.

“But brother, what should we do with this?”

It was a notarized document that recorded proof of blood kinship between Raoul and Baron Xander.

According to the content, the mansions of the 27 people who had forcibly requested a seal from Raoul would all become owned by Raoul.

Dylan looked at the document briefly and then asked.

“It’s yours, so you can handle it yourself, right? “Is there anything you can help me with?”

When I asked this question as if it were so obvious, Raoul was a little embarrassed.

‘No, even if you don’t add it together, you’ll get 100,000 gold, and it’s all mine?’

Since it was involved in family affairs, I thought that the main family would naturally handle it, but Dylan seemed to think differently.

Dylan, who understood Raoul’s feelings, smiled and said.

“Little brother. Isn’t that the reward you got for competing fairly with them? Of course it’s yours, so why are you looking at me like that? Did your brother always talk about it? A man must be confident! Especially since you were born as the son of the Earl of Ashton, you should be more confident than others, and that is enough.”

Then he folded the document neatly and placed it back in Raoul’s arms.

Raoul touched his slightly crushed chest and spoke to his brother.

“I understand, brother. I will try to become a more confident man. And while we’re at it, can I ask you a favor?”

“ask?”

Raoul took out the document again and casually handed it over to his brother and said,

“Can you take care of this for me? “Oh, please leave Baron Xander’s mansion to me because I want to use it.”

The value of a document varies depending on who holds it.

To Raoul now, that document was nothing more than a lie.

In order to cash it out, he would have to evict the blood relatives living there and sell the mansion, but there were too many things that would take him to do.

“OK. I will organize it well and hand it over to you so that you do not suffer any loss. And as a reward, I’ll tell you something good, so I’ll see you at the training hall tomorrow morning.”

“Your prize?”

“okay. “I’ll teach you the secret to building wonderful, perfect muscles like my brother!”

Meanwhile, Dylan struck a pose and strengthened his upper body.

Then there was a crackling sound, the shirt he was wearing tore, the buttons burst, and part of the button fell into Raoul’s teacup.

Dylan said while striking various poses in front of Raoul, who was looking down at his teacup.

“how is it? Do you want to learn?? Don’t you want to run to the training ground right now?? yes?”

Raoul, who couldn’t bear to say no to his older brother who asked with a twinkling eye and an expectant expression, reluctantly nodded slightly.

“okay. It will happen. In fact, it seemed like both my father and Lawrence really wanted it. But I will especially pass it on to my youngest. ha ha ha.”

Raoul smiled bitterly as he looked at his eldest brother, whom he liked very much.

Although I wanted to increase my strength, I had no intention of giving up on being human.

‘I guess I’ll have to learn a bit. But is there really a secret? ‘I’m a bit curious.’

After that for 15 days.

Raoul was able to experience what royalty hell was like and he vowed never to train with Dylan again.

And finally, the day to enter the academy arrived.

“Please go, Confucius. I hope to see good results in the entrance exam.”

Bernard, who was temporarily acting as the manor’s butler, bowed his head to Raoul in front of the carriage.

“I’m going to do something in moderation. It’s a test for the kids, so there’s no need to be discouraged. I will be back.”

When Raoul said it was nothing and got into the carriage, his eldest brother Dylan, who was already on the carriage, grinned and asked.

“Are you really trying to do it in moderation?”

“Yeah, whatever. “Do I really need to work hard?”

“okay? “My brother will go home after the entrance ceremony, so don’t worry about him and just take care of it.”

Then he closed his mouth.

‘what? Show your grit! Show the dignity of the count family! ‘I thought it would be like this?’

Anyway, no matter what his older brother said, Raoul planned to take the appropriate exams, attend the academy, and graduate.

After all, the academy was just an excuse to get away from his hometown and not his real goal.

‘It’s probably tiring to hang out with the kids, so let’s do it in moderation. Moderately.’

The carriage carrying Raoul, who kept shouting “moderately” in his head, passed through the main street and headed toward the academy.
