The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life - Chapter 117

Chapter 117 While staying in the capital (1)

The war with Hector is over.

Upon hearing that Roman Dmitri was returning to the capital, Hans immediately headed for the capital with the permission of Baron Romero.

Even then.

It was a time when Roman’s achievements were not well known.

Baron Romero was very worried about his son and wanted Hans to take care of Roman.

Hans arrived in the capital like that.

While organizing the lodgings that the royal family had taken care of in advance, he met a person who came to him unexpectedly.

“… Master Lauren?”

“Hans.”

It was Lauren Dmitri.

He still has the same youthful face as when he left Dmitri, and he hovers around Hans and asks about every detail.

At first, it was family safety.

Is the father well and is there any special problem with the mother? Hans, who had already known that Lauren Dmitri had contacted the family a few days before, knew he had a wish for himself.

waited

tell me first

After a long meaningless conversation, Lauren Dmitri spoke in a cautious voice.

“By the way, Hans.”

“Tell me.”

“Did something in particular happen to Roman while I was away in the capital? No, the Roman hyung I remember wasn’t interested in swordsmanship at all, but I saw him return to the capital while being escorted by guards a while ago. People say… … He said Roman hyung beat Hector’s ranker.”

He hesitated several times while speaking.

I believed it wasn’t true.

Even though he had seen it with his eyes and heard it with his ears, Lauren Dmitri could not readily accept Roman’s changed appearance.

said Hans.

“A lot happened to Dmitri while Master Lauren was away. I think you may have heard the rumors spreading around the world. He broke off his marriage with the Lawrence family, went to war with the Barco family, defeated Homer, and this time went to the southern front and made a great achievement. People who knew Master Roman think it was a lie, but none of it is a lie.”

“… Is it really?”

“yes. How can I tell a lie to you? Lord Romero has been really happy lately, thanks to Master Roman’s changed steps. Instead of just talking like this, why not meet them in person? I heard that you are coming to your accommodation this evening. If you meet him in person, you will be able to see how Master Roman has changed.”

at Hans’ suggestion.

Lauren Dmitri averted her gaze.

“no. that’s fine.”

It was an ambiguous response.

He said it was okay with his mouth, but seeing Hans’ reaction, hesitating, seemed different from his words.

at last.

Lauren Dmitry did not say a purpose.

After hesitating for a long time, he left the inn after leaving the words to Hans to suffer.

* * *

Hans assisted Dmitri for many years.

Most of that time was invested for Roman, but I knew the tendencies of Dmitry’s masters because of the years I had spent.

‘Something’s wrong.’

Lauren Dmitry.

He is a soft-hearted person.

Dmitry’s three sons were all born with different inclinations.

Roman and Rodwell are still on the side of inheriting their father’s fiery and strong temper, but Lauren Dmitri raised him as a son different from his two older brothers because of his father’s desire to have a daughter.

Exactly like my mother.

He is careful in everything and does not move hastily, but at times he was timid enough to be frustrating, which made him rot.

As Hans sees it.

If Lauren Dmitri came to visit in person, it seemed like there was a big problem.

So I found out for myself.

As a result of research through the Royal Academy, it was not difficult to find out what Lauren Dmitri was worried about.

that fact.

Hans said to Roman.

“It seems that Mister Lauren is being bullied by his classmates at the academy. Even in the old days, Master Lauren was the kind of person who never once said that he was in pain even if he fell on the floor and scraped his knee. But such a young boy came to me and asked me about young boy Roman for a long time. I guess I wanted to ask for help, but I couldn’t ask what was wrong.”

royal academy.

I heard it well.

It is a gateway that must be passed through in order to succeed, and all the nobles of the Cairo Kingdom have their children enrolled here.

A place where future powers gather. Perhaps that’s why, at the Cairo Royal Academy, problems in human relationships never ceased.

Descendants of the central government nobles openly discriminated against other nobles, and in particular, those from the outskirts, such as Lauren Dmitry, were not treated as the same nobles.

at least

It would be different if he proved his skills like Rodwell Dmitri, but Lauren Dmitri had neither skill nor background.

The situation was obvious.

Hans asked in an earnest voice without deliberately mentioning the sensitive issue.

“… young master. It may be presumptuous, but could you please meet Master Loren?”

Meeting with Lauren.

It was an unexpected plan.

Roman was planning to return to Dmitri shortly after, but an unexpected presence suddenly appeared in front of him.

‘Lauren Dmitry. He said he was the youngest brother with a difference in age from me.’

I searched for memories.

The relationship wasn’t bad.

Rodwell Dmitri denied the existence of Roman and responded that he would not take away even a single right from Roman even though he was the second son.

From that time on, the bone and meat war between the brothers had already begun.

In the process of fierce competition between Roman and Rodwell, Roman encountered his limits and eventually fell into the abyss.

against him

Lauren had nothing to do with the power struggle.

Regardless of the age difference, Lauren Dmitri followed his brothers around and showed no interest in power.

‘You don’t have to take care of him just because he’s your younger brother.’

but.

are immediate family members

It wasn’t that he was trying to take care of his brother affectionately based on memories he had never experienced, but he thought it was worth meeting Lauren at least once as a person who inherited Dmitri’s surname.

That’s a place to evaluate Lauren Dmitri.

Baek Jung-hyeok showed the cruelty of killing all his brothers who threatened his life and ascending to the top, but on the contrary, he readily accepted new relationships such as Hans and Baron Romero who gave him positive emotions.

criterion for judgment.

It was decided by the present self.

Just because he has Dmitri’s last name, Roman won’t help Lauren with her difficulties.

“i get it. Let’s meet again.”

“young master!”

Hans smiled broadly.

Roman thought that maybe he had accepted it because it was Hans’ request.

* * *

Around the time Roman was taking a break.

There were people who were busy.

‘The recruitment of Roman Dmitri has been postponed indefinitely. But there are still ways to earn points from Marquis Benedict.’

It was Count Fabius.

While actively promoting the conciliation of Roman, he became a duck egg in the Nakdonggang River at Roman’s declaration.

in such a situation.

He came up with a new solution.

‘Everyone is looking only at Roman Dmitri, but in fact, the subordinates who followed him were also formidable talents. I was really embarrassed at first. Dmitri is a family from the periphery, but to think that talented people who are hard to find even in the capital are following Roman Dmitri. If you appease them, Marquis Benedict will surely be very pleased.’

in the middle of the battlefield.

Count Fabius saw it clearly.

As soon as the order came to help Roman, his men slaughtered the enemy with overwhelming force.

especially Chris.

The sense of presence was enhanced.

He, who was once called Dmitri’s genius swordsman, is also unknown in the capital, but the sight of him cutting down Hector’s aura swordsman at the same time thrilled me.

No matter how much I thought about it, Chris didn’t look past his 20s.

In fact, as Roman Dmitri defeated Butler at the age of his mid-twenties, other beings did not shine, but Chris’ growth far exceeded his age.

sure

Chris was a talent that any aristocrat in the capital would welcome with open arms.

‘This is the experience of the field. If I hadn’t gone down to the southern front myself, only Roman Dmitri would have thought it a gift that would please the Marquis Benedict. Let’s attack Roman step by step. Roman’s subordinates, including Chris. If I make them on our side and order them to slowly appease Roman’s heart, then I can become a trusted figure of Marquis Benedict in an instant.’

One move, two gains.

I kept laughing.

I didn’t think of rejection.

Why?

Not even Roman Dmitri, but guys like Chris had the confidence to make an offer they couldn’t refuse.

Roman and his minions.

It was only a matter of time before they could appease them.

* * *

Roman gave Chris and his subordinates a vacation.

fierce war.

Because they deserved compensation and paid a huge vacation fee, the soldiers scattered and enjoyed rest.

chris.

He was left alone in the training ground.

The memory of the southern front made it impossible to rest.

‘When I first met my lord. The lord was clearly within reach of me. So, I promised myself that I would surpass my lord someday, but in a short time, my lord rose to a level different from mine.’

It was shocking.

Confrontation with Butler.

Common sense meant that Roman would lose, but Chris somehow believed that Roman would win.

just as expected.

Butler collapsed in a splatter of blood.

Hector’s proud 5-star swordsman.

Even half a year ago, he lost against Roman Dmitri, who was not much different from himself.

how.

How could such a thing be possible?

I tried to understand it in my head, but there was no answer.

‘What is certain is that I am developing rapidly by my master’s side. I just watched the master’s back and followed him. Over the past half year, even I have grown by leaps and bounds beyond belief. I still don’t understand the situation I’m experiencing. Master is showing a speed of development that is beyond common sense, and all the knowledge he tells me is treasure.’

warfare.

It is not knowledge that a baron family on the periphery would possess.

If it belonged to Dmitri in the first place, it was clear that the Dmitri family would have made a name for themselves as a master of swords.

That is to say.

It means that Roman made it.

Just as he doubted the principle of aura, Roman Dmitri showed the aspect of a pioneer who created a new world.

blast furnace.

his choice was right.

I was convinced that I could develop just by following Roman Dmitri, and now I did not want to stop at myself becoming stronger every moment.

If you show any complacency.

Roman Dmitry seemed to be moving into a world beyond his reach.

The goal is to knock him down.

Seriously.

So, at the training ground where everyone left, he swung his sword.

It was then.

“Are you Chris?”

It was a familiar voice.

When I turned my head, Count Fabius was looking at Chris with a kind smile.
