I Became the Male Lead who was Clinging onto the Female Leads - Chapter 59
59 – Don’t Stand There(2)
Russell von Rayman Cromwell, the king of empire.
He was an ordinary old man with no magic in his body.
He did not learn swordsmanship or magic.
It was normal to not feel any energy flowing from his body.
However, all who saw him were overwhelmed by the uncanny energy that emanated from him.
I felt an indescribable sense of intimidation from the benevolent old man.
‘Why is the Prime Minister here…… ?’
The Viscount of Hobart, who was closest to him, was mogul. His thick lips puckered.
“Are you Prime Minister…… ?”
“Greetings, Viscount Hobart.”
“Oh, how did you come to such a shabby place…… ?”
“Are you saying that someone else’s house is shabby?”
“That, I didn’t mean it that way…… !”
“Okay. You don’t have to apologize to me.”
Russell smiled softly and walked past Viscount Hobart.
“I came at the request of a close friend.”
“…… !”
Viscount Hobart, who had stumbled upon his words, stretched out his trembling hand, but he could not reach the lofty limb.
Standing in front of Eugene, Russell smiled.
“My friend. How have you been?”
“It’s okay.”
“It’s fortunate.”
“How have you been, Prime Minister?”
“Good job.”
It was an ordinary conversation, nothing special about it.
But…….
Everyone who heard the conversation was shocked.
To think the chancellor calls Yujin a close friend!
“What in the world is this…… ?”
“I don’t even know. Father… ….”
The sight was so surreal that Dallas and Erica hugged each other and shivered.
Viscount Hobart’s eyes were half out of his eyes.
Of course, this was Russell’s intention.
He met Eugene about a month ago and discovered his great potential, and asked for news when he needed help.
Because I knew it would be good for the empire to have a relationship with him in any way.
After that, he broke up with Eugene and was leading his daily life.
-Let’s go together for now. I can be away for an hour or so.
He was in the midst of handling heavy business, but he decided that helping Eugene was the priority, and he and Antonio headed to the capital’s police force.
When I arrived at the police station, the police chief ‘Alexander’ jumped out with socks.
Russell explained everything to him.
-…… That’s what happened.
-As the head of the capital city, this is an incident that I cannot overlook.
Is it because the story was so horrific?
Or was it because the chancellor asked for it?
Alexander’s will, burnt with a sense of calling, pierced the sky.
-If the Prime Minister approves, I will go and solve the case myself!
From noble mtl dot com
He was very energetic and showed his will to go on his own.
Seeing that eager look, Russell smiled most happily and nodded his head.
-That’s how it is. I’ll delegate full power to the Imperial Security Forces for a while.
So Russell, Antonio, and Alexander held hands and arrived at Eugene’s family.
The only thing left to do was to help Eugene.
Russell turned to see Viscount Hobart.
‘Why did this suddenly happen…….’
He was breaking out in a cold sweat.
That’s true, didn’t you show off your strength in front of everyone just a few minutes ago?
But suddenly, a chancellor with great power appeared and defended Eugene.
My position has become very embarrassing.
Looking at him like that, Russell quietly opened his mouth.
“Viscount Hobart.”
“……Yes?”
“Why didn’t the evil deeds of the people of the ancestors be corrected?”
“…… What do you mean by that…… ?”
“You did not persecute innocent people on the basis of your power built up through evil deeds. Even the poor young lady tried to be forcibly held in her arms, so the crime is very serious.”
“… ….”
‘Damn it…’ … !’
The Viscount Hobart’s face was poorly decorated.
‘To think the chancellor was openly criticizing me…… !’
What if this story spread to people?
People will believe the words of the Prime Minister, who is respected by everyone.
‘My reputation will fall to the ground…… !’
To prevent such a thing from happening, I had no choice but to refute it.
Viscount Hobart shouted as if screaming.
“You are misunderstanding something…… ! I have never…… !”
“Is that so?”
“Yes! You must be bewitched by the eldest son who is not like me! Give me time and I can explain everything…… !”
However, Russell shook his head in spite of that earnest appeal.
“How could I say… …..”
Viscount Hobart’s complexion was pale and turned green.
Jerbug. That buck
Alexander strode forward and stood up.
“I am Alexander, the chief constable of the capital.”
Steel-like energy emanates from the person in charge of public order in the capital.
“I heard about your family’s evil deeds and decided that the crime was very serious, so I came here myself. From now on, I will ask you three questions, so please answer only the facts.”
“… ….”
“Since I have been given full authority of the Imperial Security Corps by the current Prime Minister, not answering my question truthfully can be a sin in itself.”
‘Now to the chief of police…….’
Viscount Hobart was on the verge of fainting.
The chief of the peace who was entrusted with full authority by the prime minister!
No one would be able to stop his actions.
The bribes given to the local security forces were of no avail.
‘The moment he goes to the security guard and gives an order…….’
The constables will investigate his misdeeds without answering.
When all the bad deeds surfaced like that, the court had no choice but to punish them.
‘It’s over… ….’
It was truly a rat driven to the edge of a precipice.
‘It’s over…….’
“First question. You knew the sins of your ancestors and did not correct them. Right?”
“…… No… ….”
“Ha ha ha. You are free to answer.”
Alexander, who sneered at the obvious lie, continued.
“The second question. Did you persecute the innocent on the basis of the power built up by the evil deeds of your ancestors?”
“…… No… ….”
“Not even this. Well, good Last question. Did you try to blackmail Lady Erica and take her as her concubine under the pretext of excessive debt?”
“…… No. Really no…….”
“That’s not all. The question is over.”
Alexander sternly warns.
“If there is a lie in what has been said, the final punishment will be aggravated.”
“……Let’s go.”
“I will go to the local security guard from now on, so you should go back to my family and keep quiet. Both families must refrain from contact until the identification of the evidence is over.”
“Why is that…… I really didn’t do anything!”
Why doesn’t anyone believe me!
Viscount Hobart howled like a spoiled child.
Alexander was furious at that ugly act.
“Stop looking ugly and go home.”
“I will help you.”
Antonio, who was quietly watching from behind, put his hand on Viscount Hobart’s shoulder.
“Warp!”
A halo of light burst out and Viscount Hobart disappeared.
“Uh…… “
“The head of the family…….”
The escort knights made absurd faces.
There’s no way that a person like the archmage would have blown Viscount Hobart off to a strange place, and it’s certain he sent him to the Viscount Hobart’s mansion…… It was because the situation happened in an instant without a chance to use your hands.
Antonio asked with a puzzled face.
“Would you like me to send you guys too?”
“Oh no!”
“We will take care of ourselves!”
The escort knights vigorously shook their heads and ran away.
I don’t know what will happen if I get a warp that unfolds like that. If I made a mistake, the inside would shake and I would have to lie down sick for several hours.
“Smart guys.”
In fact, Antonio, who had no intention of using magic elaborately, licked his lips in regret.
The warp he used just now was also roughly deployed with only the coordinates fixed, so Viscount Hobart must have regurgitated all his meals for several days.
“Looks like it’s all over now. Prime Minister, I’m going to go do my official business.”
“Tough.”
“Yes!”
Alexander immediately left the restaurant.
‘It’s over.’
Now, if I just waited, I could get back everything that my family had been unfairly taken from.
‘I should say thank you for the help.’
I had to thank Russell for the sudden request.
Eugene turned her head to look at Russell.
‘Huh?’
But Russell was doing something strange.
He was squatting in front of the fallen Dallas…….
“Nice to meet you. Baron Grace.”
“Ah, Prime Minister?!”
“My name is Russell von Rayman.”
“Mo, please get up! How can you bow down to me!”
“I’m not even the emperor, so what are you going to do with your neck stiff?”
I was trying to make friends.
‘No, suddenly?’
Eugene was taken aback by her appearance, but Russell only smiled benevolently like sunlight at Dallas and Erica.
‘If you want to deepen your relationship with someone, the first priority is to look good to that family.’
He was convinced that Eugene would soon become a figure of great influence in the empire. He wanted to solidify the relationship between the imperial family and Eugene from the ground up.
As a result, I couldn’t stay still during the first meeting with Eugene’s family, Dallas and Erica.
“Baron, I hope that the Grace family and the imperial family will continue to have a good relationship.”
“What the hell are you talking about! In the first place, isn’t a noble family a relationship of loyalty to the imperial family!”
“Thank you for saying that.”
Dallas broke into a cold sweat when he met the prime minister for the first time in his life.
“I hope Lady Erika will also look good on the imperial family.”
“Everything, of course, I think it’s good!”
It was no different for Erika.
Russell treated her with all her goodwill, but she couldn’t help but sweat before the sky-like power of her.
Russell got up only after he had made enough friendship to his satisfaction.
“Then see you next time.”
“Go back carefully…… !”
“Thank you for talking…… !”
Worrying not to make a mistake, Dallas and Erica barely said goodbye and sat down exhausted.
‘A scary person… ….’
Russell approached Eugene and smiled.
“It was a pleasure to be able to help you.”
“…… I am more grateful.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
“I will not forget this debt.”
“Don’t worry, I didn’t ask for anything in return.”
But I had to remember it in a corner of my head.
‘I have to go soon.’
The hour we had set before coming here had almost passed. It was regrettable that she couldn’t have more conversations with Eugene, but if she didn’t go back soon, the people in the imperial family who lost her focal point would fall into a state of panic.
“Then, I’ll be on my way.”
“Are you leaving already?”
“I can’t help it because the imperial family won’t let me go.”
Russell smiled lightly and shook hands.
“Then stay healthy.”
The meeting with the Prime Minister after a long time has come to an end.
