Episode 41 13. My dog bites
One.
The blond man approached the table and whistled as he looked around at the seated Caron and his party.
“You were eating with other men besides me? Are they knights?”
A cheerful voice.
It seemed that Caron and his party did not know that they were members of the Duke of Reston.
It seemed to be because he had taken off the cloak with the emblem symbolizing the Duke of Reston.
Amy looked at the man and frowned.
It was a completely different look from the face that had been distorted with anger just a moment ago.
A face distorted with disgust rather than anger.
It seemed like there was quite a deep story behind it.
“Can I join you? I skipped breakfast because of Amy.”
The man sat down without even listening to the answer. Then he put the lamb that was on the table into his mouth.
Even during that short time, the man’s eyes roll back.
Charon, Leo, Hugo.
He looked at the faces of Caron and his party with a sneer on his face, as if he were exploring.
“I see you had time to meet men. Huh, Imperial Guard apprentice knights really have a lot of time on their hands, huh?”
“I already paid this month’s interest.”
“Yes, that’s true, but I came here to make a proposition. You won’t meet me at all. I have time for these people, but I don’t have time for the creditors. If you want, you can join these men and have fun. But I can’t give up the bed.”
The speech is so vulgar.
Judging from his appearance, he was definitely a nobleman. Even the ornaments dangling from his body were all expensive.
The man swallowed the lamb in his mouth, then looked at Caron and his party and said.
“My name is de Gaulle Kian.”
De Gaulle proudly reveals his name.
Hugo frowned when he heard the name and asked back.
“Count Kian?”
“Oh, you know our family?”
“How could you not know? A noble who lends money to nobles. The best moneylender family in the capital.”
“That’s right. Our family name must be known in the capital. We are the main source of funding for the Marquis Diaz family.”
“I know the name. De Gaulle Kian. 21 years old this year. The youngest son of a count. A very famous person has come.”
“I’m kind of famous. I told you that everyone trembles when they see me.”
The Marquis Diaz family is one of the families that played a leading role in the current central political circles, dethroning the evil emperor and enthroning the current emperor.
There was reason for the guy’s confidence.
“I told you my name, so shouldn’t I tell you your names?”
De Gaulle looked at Caron and his party with a confident smile.
But Caron answered with a sly smile.
“Who said they wanted to make a statement? They’re being a jerk, a jerk.”
“… … I don’t know whose kid you are, but didn’t you receive proper etiquette training?”
“You don’t even touch a dog while eating, and you don’t even know that, and you’re talking about manners? You’re funny.”
The atmosphere suddenly becomes tense.
Was this an unexpected development?
De Gaulle smiled, running his hand through his hair. Then he turned to Amy and said:
“Did you always like kids like that? You should have told me sooner.”
But Amy lightly ignored De Gaulle’s words and bowed her head to Caron and his group.
“I’m sorry. It’s a matter involving our families… … I’ll go out and take care of it. Please wait a moment.”
She immediately got up from her seat and looked at de Gaulle with a cold expression.
“come out.”
“Just wait. This is going to be interesting.”
De Gaulle glared at Caron with his knife in his hand.
“Usually, people in the capital avoid me when they see me. I’m a bit of a troublemaker, right? That’s why people usually remember my face… … . You guys came up from the countryside? Somehow. I smell like a country bumpkin.”
Caron was able to roughly figure out what kind of person this de Gaulle was.
A strong family.
There’s a personality that’s been hit hard there.
“I guess he’s a pretty famous rascal around here?”
These are the guys we call real losers.
Those idiots who believe in their family and install things.
“How many people like you are there in the capital?”
De Gaulle looked relaxed in response to Caron’s question.
“There are quite a few. But I’m the one who gets the most attention. A lot of the nobles in the capital owe my father money. Here, Amy’s father is no exception.”
I understand the general situation.
Caron put the sliced steak into his mouth. He then roughly wiped his mouth with the napkin that was lying next to him.
“Welcome. I was really worried about what kind of incident I should have in the capital. I am so grateful that you came to see me in person.”
Caron smiled brightly as he grabbed the scabbard that had been leaning against the table.
“I see you haven’t done any training or anything?”
Then de Gaulle replied with an arrogant expression.
“Knights can be bought with money. How about cutting me with that sword? The moment you do that, the Imperial Guard will come running and take you to the execution ground. And your family will follow you, resenting you and being executed.”
The atmosphere started to flow strangely.
Amy, who sensed the subtle change, urgently stopped Caron.
“Lord Charon, this is my job… … .”
But Caron raised his hand and cut Amy off.
“I hope you don’t misunderstand, but this isn’t because of you. I have an illness.”
“yes?”
“A disease that makes you just can’t pass up a bunch of losers. What should I call the cause of this disease… … . Yes, I want to be the best loser in the world. Do you know what the easiest way is?”
Charon’s eyes began to sparkle.
Leo couldn’t help but feel a chill as he looked at the sight.
Isn’t this a development we’ve seen a lot somewhere?
Memories of when I first met Caron three years ago come flooding back.
“I just have to make the rest of the losers good. If I’m the only loser, I’m the biggest loser. Right?”
There’s something decidedly weird about the logic.
But Amy couldn’t bring herself to refute that logic.
You can’t argue with a madman.
Because the logic is crazy from the start.
“Amy, aren’t you that one?”
“… … What?”
“The kids these days don’t know this, but my grandfather was a famous rascal back in his day. And my dream is to surpass my grandfather.”
Amy realized what was gleaming in Caron’s eyes.
That’s madness.
There was no word that could describe it other than madness.
Caron stood up from his seat with a smile.
“Brother Hugo, I apologize in advance. I will explain it to Grandpa.”
Hugo noticed what Caron was trying to do and quickly got up to try to stop Caron.
“Caron. You now-.”
Paaaaaaaaaaah!
It’s already late.
The scabbard swung by Caron struck the back of De Gaulle’s head.
One exact hit.
De Gaulle, who had been looking relaxed just a moment ago, fell to the floor foaming at the mouth.
And then.
“You are my lord!”
Outside, what appeared to be the guy’s bodyguards began to rush in.
But Caron had no intention of stopping here.
He looked at Leo and Hugo and said.
“Since the accident happened anyway, I’ll take full responsibility. But there’s one condition.”
The smile on Caron’s lips grew deeper.
“Since we’ve already caused an accident, we should finish it properly. Please block the restaurant door so that the security guards of this kid can’t come in. Brother Leo… … .”
“Eww!”
At that moment, Leo screamed and ran towards the door.
Leo waved at Charon, blocking the door with his body.
“Caron! Is this how it should be done?”
“As expected, if you act like it, you’ll look good, hyung!”
“Believe me!”
Hugo, who was watching the two cousins breathe, said with a pale expression.
“… …Caron, you’re really crazy. Do you live without thinking?”
Then Caron answered while picking up the glass of water on the table.
“Honestly, if I become famous as a loser, wouldn’t it benefit you and your eldest uncle?”
What kind of mindset does one have to have to be able to think like this?
Hugo decided not to think about it any further.
As expected.
This guy should have been tied up with rope in the first place.
But personally, I was curious about how far this guy would go.
As Caron said, isn’t it his father who benefits as Caron’s notoriety grows?
If he caused trouble in the capital and returned, Halo and the elders of the clan would surely punish Charon.
“A clever guy.”
At Hugo’s words, Caron nodded with a smile.
“I understand that you have given your permission.”
“You dare call the Duke of Reston a bunch of country bumpkins. If you’re going to do something about it, do it properly. We need to show the Capital guys what kind of guys we are.”
“Please watch over me.”
Caron immediately poured the water from the cup onto the unconscious de Gaulle’s face.
The water was extremely cold, with ice floating in it.
As soon as he was hit by the water, de Gaulle opened his eyes in shock.
“Ugh, ugh.”
“What should I do if I suddenly fall asleep in the middle of a story?”
A stream of blood ran down the boy’s bronze face.
The guy didn’t seem to quite understand the situation.
“… … Did you just hit me?”
“When did I? Do you have any proof?”
“Are you kidding me?”
“And if you hit him. If you hit him, what are you going to do? Call the Imperial Guard and take him to the execution ground?”
“If our father finds out about this… … .”
Kwajijijik.
“Kwaaaaah!”
Charon’s scabbard struck de Gaulle’s right shin.
“So, what would your father do if he found out?”
Caron took two vials of potions from his pocket that he carried around for emergencies.
A potion that can heal any cracked bone at any time.
Although the price is quite expensive.
“You pay for the potion.”
This is the capital.
If you have money, you can buy potions at the Magic Tower at any time.
“What, what?”
“I’ll make you a good boy today. Your father will be grateful to me. He’ll be moved to tears by the fact that that rascal and unfilial son has changed. I’ll make sure you won’t regret spending the potion money.”
“What the hell are you talking about!”
“The name of this scabbard is Duban. It is one of the heirlooms of the Duke of Reston. From now on, you may call me Master Du. He is your etiquette teacher.”
“… … The Duke of Reston? You, from the Duke of Reston… … .”
Kwajijijik.
“Kkaaaaaaah!”
Caron struck his left shin this time, and said with a big smile.
“You can only ask questions when the two teachers ask questions. Oh, by the way, the two teachers are in the scabbard, so they can’t ask questions. Just so you know.”
Soon, a hellish scene began to unfold in the restaurant.
2.
This is the National Tax Service located in the capital.
In the office of the Commissioner of the National Tax Service, who even the nobles fear, Gail was receiving a report from his secretary.
“… … Let me say it again.”
“The grandson of the chairman, Mr. Karon Reston, indiscriminately assaulted De Gaulle Kian, the third son of the Kian family, at a restaurant near Boutique Street about 30 minutes ago. He is currently being held by the security forces as a result.”
“Heh heh heh heh.”
It was my grandson who had a bright face when we parted ways just this morning.
I thought I would have an accident, but I never thought it would happen the day after I arrived in the capital.
Gail slowly put the documents he was looking at down on the desk.
And then I repeated the name that had just come out of my secretary’s mouth.
“De Gaulle Kian, De Gaulle Kian… I wondered where I had heard that name before. Isn’t he the youngest son of a count’s family?”
“Yes. According to the rumors I’ve heard… … Lord Caron is said to have fed De Gaulle Kian a potion before beating him.”
“Potion? Why are you giving me a potion?”
“That’s… … If you hit them while giving them the proper treatment, you can hit them for a long time… … .”
“Heh heh heh heh!”
As expected, the grandson has a different way of thinking.
Gail took off the glasses he was wearing, placed them on the desk, and wiped his face with both hands.
And then he asked his secretary in a half-given voice.
“It looks like I have to go.”
Nobles cannot be investigated by the police.
Even if a nobleman has committed murder, it is the role of the Imperial Guard, an imperial order of knights, to investigate the nobleman.
Moreover, this is an accident that occurred between nobles.
The worst-case scenario could have been that Charon would have been taken into custody at Imperial Guard headquarters.
“I… … From what I hear, it doesn’t seem like you need to go there yourself.”
“What are you talking about now? Count Cain. How could that money grub just sit back and do nothing when my son is being robbed!”
“… … The victim is strongly appealing for leniency.”
For a moment, Gail doubted his ears.
“The victim is not asking for severe punishment, but for leniency?”
“Yes. It is said that De Gaulle Kian is crying and pleading for leniency. He says that Lady Caron is innocent, that everything started from his own mouth… … As a special note, it is said that he is repeatedly telling himself that he will definitely rehabilitate.”
“De Gaulle Kian, that son of a bitch?”
“yep.”
De Gaulle Kean.
A man who is terribly obsessed with women and who uses his wealth and status to get the woman he likes, even if she is a commoner.
Even a nobleman would not hesitate to touch a family member of a creditor who owed his father a debt.
Because of this, the guy was gaining a lot of notoriety in the capital.
Besides, the girl problem was just the tip of the iceberg. The amount of crap he’d done so far was too much to even list.
But that bastard is appealing to Caron for mercy?
And that too, the person who beat him indiscriminately?
“Caron, what kind of magic did this guy use?”
“Thanks to that, it seems like he will be released from custody soon. This is the first time that a victim has appealed for leniency in an incident between nobles… … .”
“Nobles are the kind of people who want to leave their honor behind even after death. Ha, how on earth should I tell this to my in-laws?”
Gail looked out the window and sighed.
By now, the rumor is probably spreading at an incredible rate.
That’s what a capital city is like.
“This is going to be a hot affair, you punk.”
Could it really be that my brother-in-law didn’t anticipate this situation?
‘How could that be?’
A leaky bucket inside will leak out as well. Clearly, Grand Duke Halo had anticipated this situation.
Gail briefly recalled the nickname Caron had earned in Cheonghae Castle.
It was a disrespectful nickname that was hard to even put into words, but I thought it fit the situation perfectly.
‘The young mad dog of Cheonghae Castle.’
If there is no fire, there is no smoke coming out of the chimney.
There must have been many incidents before he earned that nickname.
If so, the answer was already out there.
“… … The Duke of Reston has unleashed a mad dog on the capital.”
It was a scary day to even imagine what would happen next.
There’s a mad dog living in the duke’s house
