The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life - Chapter 58

Chapter 58 Everyone’s Man (4)

Suddenly.

It’s time for the party to begin.

Roman’s appearance was completely different from daytime.

During the day, he was covered in dust from his work in the mine and spent time with Chris at the training ground until just before the party, but he appeared neat and polite at the party.

The appearance of Roman that everyone has been waiting for. The people who had been talking until just now held their breath at the sight of Roman walking into the party.

“Brother Roman Dmitri is entering.”

Roman.

He looked around and said hello.

I didn’t see a rough look.

Since this party was organized for himself, Roman knew how to act as the host of the party.

to look like that.

Aristocratic women who had been rejected during the day showed interest.

“Roman-sama, why did you go like that during the day? I wanted to have a little chat before the party.”

“I had just finished work, so I had no choice but to act like that because my face was shabby. I hope you understand how I want to look good.”

“Oh, that was the reason.”

Was it because he liked Roman’s answer?

From then on, no matter what Roman said, everyone laughed.

The intention was obvious.

It was to somehow make a connection with Roman, and before he knew it, Roman’s surroundings were full of women.

among them.

Sylvia’s presence stood out the most.

“I think you are a really great person, as rumored. To think that the heir of an aristocratic family worked directly with the workers in the mine. My father always said that we should live with a low attitude and long for learning, but I had a hard time putting it into practice like Roman. If I accept someone like Roman as my spouse, wouldn’t it be possible for me to change as I see and learn from my lifelong partner?”

It was a blatant statement.

The people around her sent a restraining gaze, but Sylvia didn’t care about such a gaze at all.

she was pretty

She knew her appearance all too well, and had learned from experience that a man would usually lose his mind if he struck at it first.

It wasn’t a bad way.

If it weren’t for Roman, who was not swayed by the beauty of Flora Lawrence, the most beautiful woman in the Northeast, this method would surely have worked.

“Thank you for the undeserved compliment.”

Just like that.

Roman ended the conversation with a laugh.

He kindly accepted questions from all directions, but never allowed a distance greater than that of a man and a woman.

how much time has passed

Roman, who had suffered from the women for a long time, sneaked out of the party and took a breather.

It was then.

A familiar voice came from behind.

“Are you good at acting?”

The owner of the voice approaching.

Looking down, a familiar face was looking up at Roman.

she’s right

It was Flora Lawrence.

There was no kindness like before.

In a position where no one was watching, Roman put down the kindness he had covered over his face and spoke coldly.

“It was a necessary action.”

“I am surprised. I thought you didn’t care about relationships between people.”

“Usually, it would have been. But this party is hosted for me by the Lawrence family and is watched by my parents and their guests. It means that it is a position that requires minimal courtesy apart from usual behavior. And to express it as a surprise, it was the same now when I first met you.”

When you first meet Flora.

Roman wore a formal attire.

Thinking that the smell of blood on his body was not polite to the other person, he even sprayed on a terrible perfume.

Roman was such a person.

Even though he seemed to act like an innocent person, when necessary, he acted appropriately.

said Flora.

“Come to think of it, it was. Rather, I had no manners.”

in her memory.

Roman was a man of good will.

During the arranged marriage, he was polite until the end, and when he made interfering remarks even after notifying the breakup, he showed a cold attitude from then on.

If you think about it, it was your fault.

Roman tried to keep the line as shown at the party, but Flora trampled on it and ruined their relationship.

consistent person.

So I was more curious.

How did Roman live so that his standards were so firm?

“Then why are you working with the miners? Others think it’s part of the Heir class, but as far as I know, I’ve heard there’s no such class. I don’t know if it’s a forge, but there’s no reason for Baron Dmitry to send his son to the mines.”

Flora’s question.

Normally, I wouldn’t have answered.

but.

Recalling her appearance on the battlefield, Roman wanted to tell her what he thought at least once.

“How do you think Lawrence got to where he is today?”

“… yes?”

“People often think that Lawrence thrived on crops that came from fertile soil, but the reality is different. The Lawrence family was successful in commerce. They knew how to use their crops, and they sold or bartered them to create the current Lawrence. I heard that Viscount Lawrence’s younger brother also succeeded as a merchant in the capital by making use of such talent.”

surprised.

Lawrence’s roots.

Few people got it right.

In fact, even Flora, not too long ago, thought that fertile soil was Lawrence’s all.

“What does that matter?”

“I thought that blacksmithing and iron mining were the foundation of Dmitry. Dmitri wouldn’t be as successful as he is today if it weren’t for the miners who went to the iron mines every day to dig iron ore under the dust. So Dmitry wanted to understand the land perfectly. I think it is at least the duty of a person with the surname of Dmitry to inherit this land and leave the matter of Margot. If I ever come across a problem like Dmitry’s people. I am sure that the time in the mine, which others do not understand, will be of great help in understanding and empathizing with them.”

Roman’s voice was firm.

as if it was absolutely necessary.

Flora was at a loss for words at the sight of her claim.

“… ah.”

“Time is running out. Let’s go.”

The conversation ended there.

Roman Dmitri turns around without regret.

Flora looked at it and felt as if she had been beaten hard on the head.

Really.

Every time Roman met, she fell into a swamp of thoughts.

Recently.

People called Roman Dmitry the universal man.

Dmitri’s reputation as an idiot had sunk to the bottom, and everyone looked up to him and showed greed.

if.

If you were in Roman’s position.

Can you work in a mine with such thoughts in a situation where you are receiving praise from people around you?

‘No, I couldn’t have done that.’

That’s what people are.

Sweet flattery (甘言利說) makes the brain melt, and no matter how diligent a person is, at some point he will try to enjoy reality.

Especially if it’s a universal man like Roman. Even if you accept women’s dashes and play promiscuously, people won’t consider it a flaw.

however.

Roman was different.

He was neither intoxicated with victory nor enjoyed reality.

As soon as the war was over, he grabbed a pickaxe and headed for the mine, and while others were enjoying the festival, the hero of the war silently dug iron ore covered in dust.

What kind of thoughts should I have to act like that?

Flora didn’t waste her time, but she felt ashamed to face Roman.

‘He’s a great person.’

It was respectful.

I wanted to be imitated.

Aside from the fact that he was a selfish person, Roman himself fit her ideals perfectly.

suddenly.

Flora remembered what her father had said.

“… live for your dreams I will not repeat the mistake of dropping your worth and I am ready to support you with anything you want.”

Viscount Lawrence.

Flora is not Lawrence’s flower.

I wanted to live as Flora Lawrence.

The words that promised to support her in anything now filled Flora’s mind.

‘What is my dream?’

no matter how you think

There were no clear dreams.

But what is certain is that while watching Roman’s progress, there is one thing he wants to achieve.

‘I want to be strong. Never again will other powers invade Lawrence’s territory. Rather than entrusting Lawrence’s safety to others, I want to be strong myself and overcome those dangers. That’s the goal I want.’

made a decision

solid dream.

Even after the war ended, my mind, which had wandered for a while, finally became clear and I felt like everything was being sorted out.

Flora left.

There was no reason to stay at the party anymore.

The existence of Roman Dmitry.

There was no reason to hold her back now.

a few days after that.

As it became known later, Flora left Lawrence for the capital.

Flowers in the greenhouse.

It was the moment when Lawrence’s flower finally left the greenhouse and went out into the world.

Time passed.

fortnight later.

At the time when the ruin of the Barko family was about to become a known fact, there was a guest who visited Dmitri’s forge.

“Hendrick! Hendrick!”

“what’s the matter?”

“What is it? I stopped by to have a drink with you.”

A man with a small physique showed a grin as he watched Hendrick nervously leaving the forge.

in the bottle in his hand.

Hendrick salivated.

It was lunchtime just in time, so Hendrick hurriedly removed the items from the trunk that could be used as a table.

“As expected, you are the only one who understands my heart, Jacob.”

“yes?”

man’s name.

It was Jacob.

He, who oversees the work of the mine, poured alcohol into Hendrick’s glass and drank the whole bottle himself.

“It kills big.”

“How is work today?”

“It is the same as usual. No matter how much I dig into this iron mine, I can’t see the end. It’s because we’ve only developed the beginning of the mountain, so even if the Dmitri family spends hundreds of years, the iron mine won’t run dry. cancer don’t The life of Jacob, who has lived his entire life as a miner, can be sure of that.”

Hendrick and Jacob.

Dmitry’s two pillars often had such a time as now.

It was like a sweet rain to take a moment to drink in the midst of handling the daily grueling work.

how much did you drink

Hendrick put down his glass and asked in a coy voice.

“By the way, Roman Dmitry. how is his condition? Just a month or two ago, there was a lot of talk about Roman Dmitri working at the iron mine. Have you stopped working now?”

“Oh Roman?”

Jacob laughed.

He took another drink and said with a funny face.

“Don’t talk. I’ve never missed a job, let alone quit my job. At first, everyone didn’t know Roman Dmitri’s intentions, so they were reluctant to him, but now there are no miners who hate Roman?”

“really?”

Hendrick’s eyes widened.

Miners have as much pride as blacksmiths.

But to think that such single-minded people like Roman.

“What the hell happened at the iron mine?”

last fortnight.

There was a lot going on at Dmitri’s iron mines.
