The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life - Chapter 18
Chapter 18 Choice in an instant (3)
Broken marriage.
At those words, Viscount Lawrence closed his eyes tightly.
There was no room for compromise.
Even if the person to marry for convenience stubbornly insisted on it, it wouldn’t be enough, so Roman sincerely wanted to break it off.
‘it’s over.’
I felt dizzy.
An arranged marriage was Lawrence’s last option.
Judging that Barco could not be stopped no matter how many methods were used, he borrowed outside power even using the daughter of Geum Ok-yeop.
As a head of household, you have an obligation to protect your family.
There was a belief that it would be better than the reality of a declining family, even if it was to ruin the life of his daughter, who wouldn’t hurt even if he put it in his eyes.
And now.
The marriage breakup was marked.
No matter how beautiful Flora is, no family would accept the loss for a woman with flaws.
This means that the same method cannot be used.
From now on, the crisis had to be resolved only with the power of the Lawrence family.
furthermore.
‘We need to appease Dmitri. On the day they join hands with Barco as a way of revenge, even the method of desperate resistance won’t work.’
Dmitry.
Baron Romero’s anger was great.
For Baron Romero, who used to spit out heat as if he were going to eat him at any moment, it wasn’t strange to see him change to Barco while resolving this marriage.
That meant Lawrence’s downfall.
There is no way to withstand the offensive if Barko and Dmitri, who are strong in the northeast area, join forces.
It was disastrous.
like the mind.
I wanted to tell my daughter that it was okay.
Although he is a father who always made choices for his daughter, he was no different from the father of the Joel family when the future of the family was at stake.
Just as he bowed his head to the teacher even though he was a nobleman.
Viscount Lawrence bowed his head without the slightest shame in the face of the reality of breaking up his engagement.
“… This problem is entirely Lawrence’s fault. Therefore, Lawrence will take responsibility for breaking up the engagement. And as an apology, I will not accept tolls and taxes from Dmitry’s Chamber of Commerce leading to Lawrence for the time being. Of course, such pennies would be meaningless to iron ore magnates, but consider it a sincere apology from the Lawrence family for handling the family’s major affairs carelessly.”
“No, you don’t have to do that. Dmitri has no intention of profiting from the future of his eldest son. Please finish this issue by announcing to the public that Flora Lawrence broke up due to personal problems. That way Dmitri won’t be attached to Barko.”
“thank you. thank you.”
Baron Romero’s reaction.
Lawrence lowered his head at that sincerity, but his heart ached.
‘Marriage to Dmitri might have been the best option we could have chosen.’
A father who loves his son.
And, contrary to rumors, Dmitry’s firstborn.
The more I looked, the worse it was.
I don’t know why people call Roman Dmitri’s idiot, but the Roman he experienced himself was an extraordinary man.
The force that subdued Blood Fang. Boldness to speak confidently in front of oneself.
In particular, I fell in love with him sincerely seeing him making a choice for the family even in the face of a broken marriage.
Roman was a sleeping dragon.
If he reveals his true value in the future, Flora will always be ridiculed by people.
Breakup is like that.
Roman has become an inseparable label in Flora’s life.
‘What on earth did my daughter not like about Roman? Had he known the true value of Roman even a little earlier, he would have prevented Flora from making hasty choices. This is a big mistake I made too.’
swallowed up regret
Things have already happened.
Viscount Lawrence repeatedly apologized, and only then did he leave when Baron Romero’s expression softened.
Only Dmitri and his son are left.
Baron Romero’s gaze turned to Roman.
throughout the conversation.
He couldn’t concentrate on the one question that tickled his mind.
“Son. What the hell happened in a week?”
appearance of Roman.
That was a matter that needed clarification.
time in the practice of closing.
Roman entered the human stage.
The stage of humanity is the process of making the foundation for demonstrating the Heavenly Demon Art, but in fact, it cannot be said to be very great by Moorim’s standards.
But in this world it was different. Mana drifting in nature was so abundant, and Roman’s body was at a serious level of waste, so the effect of just creating a foundation was dramatic.
One step forward.
At Roman’s Danjeon, the Heavenly Demon Demonic Spirit played a trick.
The change in appearance due to the metamorphosis was proof that he had become a completely different person from before.
Roman said.
“I had a little realization while practicing alone. I don’t remember exactly, but it seems that mana circulation was going on in the body.”
“… Did you just say mana cycle?”
“yes.”
“Huh.”
Baron Romero was surprised.
mana cycle.
It is a rare phenomenon that occurs among people who deal with mana, and it refers to a phenomenon in which natural mana circulates through the body and makes the body ideal. A fortune that is granted only to very few people. As Roman, he gave the best answer, but Baron Romero had complicated thoughts about Roman’s remarks.
‘It’s a mana cycle.’
recent.
Roman’s change was shocking.
Dmitri’s son, who was called an idiot, suddenly announced a breakup, and starting with Blood Fang, he was doing things he could never have imagined before. In particular, in the case of the victory in Dalian against Chris and the mana circulation mentioned just now, even in the realm of common sense, I could not readily understand it.
The father did not know his son.
How my son grew up and what he knows how to do.
He was well aware that the changes taking place in Roman were beyond common sense to simply dismiss him as a genius.
but.
‘Still, it is clear that he is my son.’
son’s face.
son’s eyes.
And a voice calling himself father.
Doubts were buried.
I don’t know what changed with Roman, but to Baron Romero, only the fact that Roman was Dmitri’s eldest son mattered.
said Baron Romero.
“As you go forward, keep this fact in mind. i am your father No matter how difficult things are for you, as Roman Dmitri’s father, I am not one to turn away from them. And the person who will be happy with your progress is also this father. So don’t forget that your name is Roman Dmitry. I, Romero Dmitri, will always be one step behind you and support you.”
Abby’s words.
It was subtle.
And it was unfamiliar.
The father that only Roman remembers, and the father that Baek Jung-hyeok remembers, was cruel and cold-hearted, and drove his son to death.
But what kind of abirani?
‘That’s not bad.’
Is this what infidelity is?
Roman laughed.
“Thank you Father.”
when you leave the office.
Roman faced a familiar situation.
The woman who said “Are you crazy?” with a puzzled face lowered her head with a different face.
“… I’m so sorry. The hasty judgment of you and the fact that I arbitrarily decided important events in the family.”
It was Flora.
Due to a series of circumstances, she couldn’t look directly at Roman.
“I don’t need an apology.”
Roman’s reaction was cool.
plural?
It wasn’t that kind of feeling.
Roman thought that a sincere apology was not necessary.
‘Everything is just a matter of conclusion, Flora’s choice wasn’t wrong.’
if.
If Baek Joong-hyuk hadn’t possessed Roman’s body.
Roman must have been a man worthy of Dmitri’s moniker, as rumor has it, and he must have been weak-willed enough to commit suicide if cornered a little.
Combining with Dmitri may be the way to solve the immediate problem.
However, it is harsh for a woman to promise her life to a man like Roman.
so that.
I understand Flora.
Besides, there was no reason to vent his anger on a woman who had decided to take all the blame.
But Flora interpreted Roman’s reaction differently.
“I fully understand why you are angry. I can’t help but be angry. No matter how much the will of the parties is not important, it is an arranged marriage, but it is because they unilaterally broke their promise. But I wanted to tell you one thing. There was a specific reason why I made the decision to break off the engagement.”
“… .”
Didn’t react.
stand still
Flora spoke in a crawling voice at Roman’s staring eyes.
“To be honest, now I think it was just a rumor. It’s not a rumor befitting a man who defeats Blood Fang himself and never loses his balance. Still, I’m telling you because I think you need to know. The source of the rumor was a social gathering hosted by nobles from the northeast. When rumors circulated that I was marrying Dmitri of convenience, nobles I knew told me that Roman Dmitri was fond of drugs. It’s a kind of drug that makes you lose your sense if you get addicted to it, so I couldn’t ignore the story.”
approximately.
It was the first time I heard about it.
Still, he was bold.
Roman was neither embarrassed nor showed any special reaction.
Roman said.
“It doesn’t matter that you gave me notice of the breakup for some reason. Flora. You did not want to marry me, and the result was just a breakup.”
Even the first time.
And even now.
Roman did not allow her to come close to him.
“So don’t get involved in my life anymore.”
Roman speaks coldly and then moves on.
That was it.
A person named Flora did not deserve to enter Roman’s fence.
on the way back to the room.
Roman was lost in thought.
Flora and Lawrence.
The troublesome relationships were sorted out, but Flora threw a problem that she couldn’t ignore at the end.
‘… It’s a drug.’
eyebrows twitched
drug.
It was an issue that could not be overlooked.
When he was living as Baek Joong-hyeok, Roman saw the words of the demons who were addicted to drugs.
They did not simply plunge their own lives into the pit of evil, but polluted all around them like a disease.
Roman had his hands on such a dangerous thing.
Then, Roman’s suicide, which was the beginning of a new life, had to be interpreted for a slightly different reason from now on.
‘Roman may not have committed suicide simply to avoid enlisting in the military. To be honest, there were a lot of things I was curious about from the beginning. He must have known that he could solve the problem of military enlistment if he had an arranged marriage with the Lawrence family, but he made an extreme choice too early. Therefore, there may be other reasons.’
seal.
A laugh came out.
Roman recently underwent a metamorphosis.
Therefore, no matter what Flora said, he knew that Roman’s body did not have the kind of aura that could be attributed to being addicted to drugs. Only one. There was an impure energy that was presumed to have been taken at the time of suicide, but it was completely removed in the process of metamorphosis.
That is to say.
The rumors that Flora had heard were evidence of slander.
“It’s been fun.”
There are things people misunderstand.
Just like how Roman accepted Hans into the fence.
There were people who said that he might be a holy king when he saw the Heavenly Demon ruling over people.
That’s a huge misunderstanding.
If you’ve ever crossed your territory.
Roman certainly trampled on and condemned, no matter how trivial it was.
It is far from impartiality.
The world of weak meat.
It was natural to press down from the top, and the fear carved into the bones became the foundation for conquering Murim.
“I guess I need to check the facts.”
daughter and daughter.
immediately rang the bell.
OK.
“Did you call me, youngster?”
The first person in this world to enter his fence.
Hans cautiously opened the door.
