The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life - Chapter 17

Chapter 17 Choice in an instant (2)

Childhood.

Flora went to a prestigious academy.

Lawrence’s name value and wealth from fertile land were strong enough, and he was helped by servants every morning to build up his skills as a nobleman. My memories of that time were nothing special.

But now.

A memory suddenly came to mind in a series of situations.

‘He was from the Joel family.’

Joel go.

A family with only a name that makes it questionable even if it exists in the Northeast.

In fact, given the family’s prestige, admission to the prestigious academy should have been impossible, but luckily, Joel’s family attended the academy at the same time as Flora.

Flora did not look at ‘him’ with a particularly prejudiced eye.

She got along well as a fellow student, but not everyone thought like her.

noble fence.

Joel was a mutant, and in a world of people who thought they were noble, there was no one to treat him with.

One day.

Joel made a small mistake.

The sons of nobles with high prestige did not mind even if they had a big accident, but Joel’s disciplinary committee was held even for a trivial matter.

crisis of expulsion. At the sight of the teachers shouting at Joel, a man who appeared to be Joel’s father appeared in faded clothes and bowed his head.

just look at it once

I will take good care of my son.

Looking at the middle-aged man earnestly asking for help, Flora indirectly experienced the harsh reality.

‘I’m sorry.’

If the Joel family’s status was great.

if they had the power.

Did Joel’s family head bow his head?

no.

It wouldn’t have been a problem in the first place.

He would have taken care of Joel’s child.

However, Joel’s head had no choice but to apologize because he had no strength.

and.

It was no different now.

In front of Baron Romero, who was expressing his anger, Flora’s father was the same as Joel’s head.

“… As the head of Lawrence, I have nothing to say even if I have ten mouths. What Baron Dmitry said is true a hundred times. It was our Lawrence who asked about her intention to marry in the first place, but she made a big mistake because her daughter was immature. I should have apologized for that from the beginning, but I sincerely apologize for getting angry with the red flag.”

Viscount Lawrence bowed his head.

Dmitry’s anger.

Lawrence doesn’t have the strength to handle it.

The fact that Dmitri was the way to resolve the dispute with Barko means that they have that much power.

Viscount Lawrence faced reality.

Now is the time to apologize.

At the sight of her bowing her head first without adding an excuse, a hot emotion welled up inside Flora.

‘… It’s all because of me.’

Joel.

is a poor child

It was sad, so I wanted to make the best of it.

The person you once thought was an object of sympathy is now projected onto your situation.

It was stupid.

It was pathetic.

At one time, the world showed warmth to him even outside the greenhouse, but he didn’t realize that it wasn’t the case since the fall of the Lawrence family.

memories of childhood.

Just as he looked at the situation of the Joel family from afar, he still did not realize what responsibility his choice entailed.

‘There is no reason for my father to be treated like this because of me alone. It’s my fault. I’d rather not pass the blame on to Roman Dmitri, but if I had fully handled it, I wouldn’t have had to deal with Dmitri’s anger. It’s really pathetic. The fact that he hastily judged Roman Dmitri and ignored the reality that he had to deal with.’

closely.

He clenched his fists.

The starting point of the problem is yourself.

Then he knew that the situation could only be resolved if he himself apologized, not Viscount Lawrence.

“Dmitry M… .”

widely!

“Lord.”

It was then.

Just as I was about to open my mouth, a soldier came in and said.

“Brother Roman has arrived.”

Moment.

It felt like the world was turning into a mess.

Flora took a deep breath at the sight of Roman Dmitri entering the office.

‘… This is Roman Dmitri?’

in front of your eyes.

There was a man different from what I remember.

First meeting with Roman.

It was the worst.

Dmitri’s rumors of being a jerk made her look worse, but Flora’s unmanaged appearance and horrendous perfume made Flora frown.

Of course, it was only later that he realized that perfume was a self-considering choice, but even then, he was prejudiced and did not like Roman.

however.

There was a completely different person now.

Roman’s gait gave off an unnaturally fragrant scent, and it was completely different from the tips of his toes to his head.

tall stature.

His trouble-stained face turned white like jade, and perhaps because of his skin, his black hair and red lips stood out.

If he had a normal appearance before, now he looks like a handsome man.

But what really surprised Flora was the unique atmosphere of Dmitry Roman.

‘It feels like facing a giant.’

It was bold.

The atmosphere seems to look down on the world and say that there is no reason to shrink at all.

It was like a sharp sword.

If the first meeting was surprising and the second meeting was shocking, the third meeting was mesmerizing.

now.

I knew that this thought was pathetic.

but.

Roman’s appearance was very similar to the silhouette he once thought was his ideal type.

widely.

I stopped walking.

Roman, who was not shaken at all while receiving attention, looked up at Baron Romero and spoke calmly.

“Meet Father Roman Dmitri.”

one week.

The results of the lung training were enough to shock the people present.

Much to the dismay, Baron Romero was no different.

The appearance of his son has changed.

There were a lot of things I wanted to ask, but now I had a watchful eye on me, so I tried to show a calm face.

“Did you finish your training well?”

“yes.”

“I’ll talk about that later, but the reason I called you here is that the Lawrence family wants you to break off the engagement and resume the marriage of convenience. As a father, he has no desire to continue his relationship with the Lawrence family, who took the couple’s relationship lightly, but this problem arose from your decision in the first place. Whatever decision you make, this father will abide by your choice.”

if it was a month ago.

Baron Romero may have proposed marriage to the Barco family with the intention of overturning the marriage and openly retaliation.

however.

I trust my son now.

He believed that if he was a son who led a life starting with Blood Fang, he would make the right choice for himself.

“… I see what you mean.”

atmosphere around.

situation was seen.

Although they hadn’t been together from the beginning, it was assumed that Baron Romero was having a blast, judging from the stiff expression of Lawrence and his daughter.

The Dmitri family that Roman recognized has that much power.

He doesn’t like campaigning, so he doesn’t reveal it, but Dmitri is by no means a weak family.

The power of the Northeast region.

Whatever the choice, Dmitri can handle it.

Roman said.

“I know very well what the union of Dmitry and Lawrence means. The reason why the Lawrence family thought of me as a marriage partner with whom they had never met was because they needed Dmitri’s wealth, not because they wanted a man named Roman Dmitri. In a situation where the Barko family threatens Lawrence’s safety, Dmitri’s wealth will ensure Lawrence’s safety.”

“… Did you want to get married even knowing that fact?”

“yes. At the time, I thought it was worth it.”

Roman’s words.

Baron Romero showed a surprised expression.

He thought that his immature son thoughtlessly wanted to marry Flora.

He had never explained the situation around him, but he didn’t know that he was aware of the complicated relationship with the Barco family.

right before.

It was the same as what Baron Romero had said to Viscount Lawrence.

Roman had already grasped the surrounding situation through a short investigation, so he knew the correct answer he had to do.

“Joining Lawrence comes at a cost to Dmitri. As long as the Barko family has been approved by the central government, Dmitri’s participation in the war will not cause them to step down. Then the woman I take as my wife, Flora, must be worth it. Whether this Roman Dmitry is worth devoting his whole life to, regardless of family differences. Flora, once called Lawrence’s flower, found its value in its appearance. But when I saw Flora mentioning her breakup on the first day I met her, I changed my mind.”

Men and women do not know each other.

Each other imagined an image in their heads based on each other’s rumors, but it is only an illusion, not reality.

Even so.

Flora made a hasty decision.

I thought the perfume I sprayed for consideration was evidence of pleasure, and I thought the trouble on my face was a look that suited Dmitri’s idiot.

Flora was hasty.

He believed in information he had not confirmed, and even if he was really such a person, he ruined the relationship with an unwise attitude.

“What did Flora think until she decided to break off the engagement? You’ve heard rumors about Dmitri’s idiot, and you’ve probably come to the conclusion that you can’t marry someone like that. The problem is the process. In the process of dealing with a serious matter at stake in her family, Flora was unwise and decided everything based on rumors of people she had never experienced firsthand. Marriage is about finding a partner for life. You cannot live happily with your partner for the rest of your life just because you are pretty or have a great family. What matters is wisdom. How you deal with the various problems that will come your way in the future is what gives you the trust to promise that person for the rest of your life.”

Roman’s words were unstoppable.

each time you say it.

Flora’s face turned red and she couldn’t bear to look directly at Roman.

still young.

I couldn’t be free from the responsibility because it was a mistake or a serious problem because I had no experience.

“I am proud of the Dmitry family. Starting as a blacksmith, he built the family’s backbone and crossed the wall of status that others would not dare to cross. And in the process, I hope for a woman like my mother who was always proud of her father. No matter how the world evaluates a person named Roman Dmitry, I hope you will welcome someone who believes in and follows what you see and judge for yourself.”

The answer came out.

Roman looked at Flora.

Just as Flora had unilaterally notified her in their first meeting, Roman gave no room for compromise.

“I want the engagement to proceed as promised.”

The water spilled.

That’s it.

The water scattered on the floor left traces, but there was no way to pick it up.
