Episode 59 17. Let’s meet again (2)

3.

After saying goodbye to Amy and Luhon, Caron headed back out onto the boutique street.

Time to head back to the mansion.

The streets were relatively deserted when I got here, but not when I left.

“… …Why are there so many people here?”

Leo looked at the crowds filling the street with a puzzled expression.

And Hugo responded to Leo’s words as if it were a given.

“It means that the rumor about Charon is spreading properly.”

“Brother Hugo. Then all those people… … .”

“That’s right. I came to see Charon’s face.”

Hugo nodded with a bitter smile.

Not only was there a rumor going around that he had beaten up the son of Count Kian, but there was also a rumor going around that Caron had defeated a demon single-handedly in the palace.

It was a rumor that was almost like a heroic tale.

But thanks to the noble children who were present at the scene, the rumor was spreading at an incredible speed.

– Another supernova has emerged from the great house led by the legendary hero Grand Duke Halo!

Since the children of prestigious families were spreading such a huge rumor, it was only natural that the capital would be in an uproar.

“If someone saw you, they’d think you were a popular actor. Isn’t that right, Caron? I’m jealous… … .”

Leo glanced at Caron.

It’s a very good thing to be popular. Popularity means fame.

It must have been something to be proud of to have achieved this level of fame at such a young age.

But the face of Caron, the person involved, was very distorted.

“Ha, sh*t. Nothing really goes according to plan. I should have gained notoriety instead of popularity… … . Should I beat up a few more losers right now? No. Then even more… … . Haaaaaah. This really pisses me off.”

Instead, it was Caron who got angry.

Leo looked at Caron’s reaction with pity.

‘I told you, he’s really a consistent crazy guy.’

Who would treat the fame they so desperately desire in such a way?

‘Yes, this is Caron.’

It was the most insane move Leo could ever admit.

As Leo was sighing like that, Hugo, who had been standing still, spoke quietly to Caron.

“Caron. Smile.”

“yes?”

“Over there. Do you see those people with cameras? They’re reporters. You know what a reporter is.”

“Of course I know.”

The rapid advancement of magical engineering technology has brought about advancements in many fields, one of which is the media.

Businesses that publish newspapers regularly.

Today’s newspapers are the most important medium for conveying information to the people, and are also a good means of understanding public sentiment.

“This is a great opportunity to raise the reputation of our dukedom. Smile and wave your hand so that we can take a good picture.”

“Brother, you only think about your family whether you’re sleeping or awake. I really respect you.”

For now, I decided to grant Hugo’s request.

Caron smiled and waved at the camera. Soon, the reporters holding their cameras began cheering and taking pictures.

At that time.

“Lord Caron!”

A man appeared in front of Caron’s group.

A man with bronzed skin and blond hair, he was De Gaulle Kian, who had been beaten to death by Caron just a few days earlier.

“I heard that you appeared here, so I came running here in a hurry.”

Caron looked down at de Gaulle, frowning.

“What, you came here because you wanted to get hit again?”

As Caron rolled up his sleeves and spoke, de Gaulle fell to his knees and shouted.

“Oh, no!”

He shivered as if memories from that time were coming back to him.

Reporters began to take pictures of the scene.

A situation that could easily lead to misunderstanding.

Hugo panicked and tried to raise De Gaulle up, but Caron stopped him.

“Brother, I’ll take care of it.”

“… …I’ve never seen you solve it?”

“Hey, just trust me.”

As Caron was about to speak to de Gaulle, another man stepped forward.

A middle-aged aristocratic man who is obviously wearing expensive clothes.

He got angry and woke up de Gaulle.

“What the hell are you doing, De Gaulle! I told you to keep in mind that the subordinates are watching!”

“Oh, father.”

“Keep your mouth shut.”

It seemed as though the man was de Gaulle’s father.

If de Gaulle’s father was the Count Austin Keane, the head of the Keane family.

“Excuse me, Caron Reston. I am Count Austin Keane, father of De Gaulle.”

Austin said that and looked around.

There are many reporters filming this situation.

Given that the young boy in front of him is the grandson of Grand Duke Halo, he cannot act recklessly in this situation.

‘What a good opportunity.’

How angry were you when you heard that your son had been beaten to death by someone?

Moreover, the frustrated son was so scared that he didn’t even want the perpetrator to be punished. Even though he was the one who got beaten up.

That’s why Austin was thinking of getting a proper apology here and there.

Regardless of the circumstances, it was true that his son had been beaten.

“I heard that something unpleasant happened between my son and Lord Karon.”

“What if you say it’s unpleasant?”

“I’m talking about the incident where Karon indiscriminately assaulted my son. I have the witness’s testimony, so I can’t pretend not to know. If you just apologize, I’ll quietly leave.”

At least accept an apology.

That was the least compromise he could make.

Holding the Duke of Reston accountable? You couldn’t do something like that without being crazy.

Even Marquis Kieran Diaz, whom he followed, told him to just ignore the issue.

‘Still, I deserve an apology.’

My son was assaulted in the middle of the capital city in broad daylight. My pride wouldn’t allow me to just let this go.

With so many eyes watching him now, if the boy in front of him had any sense, he would at least apologize.

I think there is no need to get involved in an argument in a place like this.

Since all the media outlets based in the capital were keeping an eye on the Duke of Reston, Caron’s assault case was not reported.

Given that situation, the other side probably won’t respond actively either.

‘I’m glad I save face, and you’re glad you can pass quietly. Isn’t that right, Caron Reston?’

But Caron was even crazier than he thought.

“An apology? Why are you asking me for that? Your son deserved it and got hit. No, I should be the one receiving the thanks.”

“What, what did you just say… … .”

“I was the one who did the home education that the Count should have done himself. Even if you can’t pay me for the tutoring, it’s a bit much to apologize.”

“That’s right, Father. I became a new person thanks to you, Karon. An apple, huh? Karon led me to the right path!”

An unexpected reaction.

Besides, the worthless son nodded his head in agreement with those words.

“Those who do wrong deserve to be punished, no matter who they are! That’s my motto. Oh, did you come here because you think your son’s education is lacking? If you want, I can help you with it. Even though I look like this, I’m a bit generous.”

The speech pattern is similar to that of a back alley thug.

It was a moment when the dignity of the Duke of Reston came crashing down.

“King Charon. Even if you are the grandson of Grand Duke Halo, this is… … .”

“How can I educate my son further?”

The reporters’ cameras were rolling without rest.

Hugo’s face turned pale as he heard those words from behind.

‘… How can I see my grandfather’s face?’

This time too, he failed to complete the mission his grandfather had given him.

Unfortunately.

4.

That evening.

Gail’s mansion.

In the courtyard of the mansion, which was bustling with preparations for departure, Jeras was reading a hot extra edition that had just been published.

“… … You are truly amazing, Lord Caron. And you couldn’t stand it anymore… … .”

“Ewww.”

“Why are you sighing like that again?”

“This isn’t the picture I wanted.”

Charon glanced at the newspaper Jeras was reading and sighed.

These were not the articles that Caron wanted.

I expected articles like this: A crazy guy who doesn’t know manners, a swindler with a yellow face, and so on, but what I got in return was…

“Caron Reston must have been taught noblesse oblige since childhood. The youngest grandson of the Duke’s family is the one who can be a role model for the nobles… … No, is that really true? Why doesn’t everyone understand my heart?”

All kinds of praise.

Rather than becoming notorious, the situation is such that its reputation is only growing.

While Charon was getting irritated, Leo received a newspaper from Jeras. After reading it, he let out a small exclamation.

“Wow, when you become really famous, people applaud even when you take a shit. What Prince Hyung said was true.”

Perhaps the person who best understood Charon’s mental state here was Leo.

Noblesse oblige?

There’s no way that could have anything to do with Caron.

This guy just rammed it in.

Without thinking.

“Luck is real.”

Charon nodded in annoyance at Leo’s muttering that sounded like a soliloquy.

“That’s right. I’m just so unlucky. Ha, should I have just cursed at the Count too?”

“Why, you should have just slapped the Count.”

“Please give me advice sooner next time, Leo! I should have slapped you a long time ago!”

“No, Mr. Caron. Please remain quiet until we leave. I am out of my mind.”

“ha.”

They decided to return to Cheonghae Castle by carriage, and the carriage would be escorted by the Knights of Haerang, including Sir Jeras. Karon suggested that they use the teleportation magic circle, but it was said that the magic circle had already been deactivated.

Only Caron and Leo are going back today.

Halo said he would remain in the capital.

The reason was that there was still much to discuss with the royal family.

‘I guess he’ll stay in the capital and take care of the powerful nobles. With his Halo personality, once he decides to draw his sword, he’ll go all the way.’

The capital will be very noisy for the time being.

At the center of the commotion will be the Duke of Reston.

As Caron was waiting in the yard, chewing on his jerky, an old couple came walking in through the front door.

His maternal grandfather was Giles and his maternal grandmother was Helena.

One thing that is unique.

“Ahem, ma’am. There are so many eyes watching, so grabbing someone by the neck is a bit… … .”

“You keep quiet. How long is Charon supposed to wait for you? Does it make sense to work until I come looking for you?”

“This is all because I’m working hard for the country… … . Ugh. Please stop using all your strength. Madam. I’m going to die.”

The fact that Helena was dragging Guile in.

Caron greeted them both with a smile.

“Are you here?”

At his grandson’s greeting, Gail quickly straightened his clothes. Then, smiling brightly, he waved at Caron.

“I’m so sorry I’m so late, Caron. I’ve just had so much to do.”

“I almost stayed here one more night.”

“That would have been okay. Haha! I should have come later… … . Ma’am. Just kidding, just kidding.”

“When people grow older, they should at least become wise! It would be better to send off my grandson quickly so that he doesn’t get tired. Are you kidding me now?”

Charon smiled broadly as he looked at Guile and Helena.

Thank you to those who always take care of me.

Caron also felt regretful, as he had originally wanted to stay in the capital a little longer and be together.

But Charon put his regret aside and bowed down to them.

“I will come back to say hello again next time.”

Then Gail and Helena smiled and hugged Charon.

“I will be visiting Cheonghae Castle this winter, so you must stay healthy until then. Do you understand?”

“Yes, Caron. Health is the most important. Make sure you eat well. Got it?”

“Yes! I’ll wait until winter!”

The short and simple greeting ended.

Jeras, who had been quietly watching the scene, spoke in a soft voice.

“Please get on the carriage. Everything is ready.”

“Where did Brother Hugo go?”

“Hugo will remain in the capital and assist the lord.”

“Ah, I see. I understand.”

Charon got into the carriage with Leo.

Then he opened the window and peeked his head out.

“We’ll go! Grandfather! Grandmother! See you at Cheonghae Castle!”

“Close the door now. Bugs will come in.”

With all preparations complete, Jeras boarded the carriage carrying Charon and Leo.

“Let’s go.”

“Yes, Lord Jeras.”

Woohoo.

The driver in the carriage’s driver’s seat started the horsepower engine, and soon a pleasant resonant sound was heard.

But then it was.

“Oh, Do-ryunniiiii! You can’t abandon me again!”

From afar, a giant covered in dust came running, crying.

Caron looked at the giant with a dull expression.

“Come to think of it, I haven’t noticed his presence since I came to the capital. Where on earth has he been?”

Urhan, Charon’s servant and former deserter.

He was a guy who was unusually invisible when he came to the capital.

As Charon looked at Urhan with pity, Leo, who was next to him, sighed and said.

“As soon as you arrived in the capital, you ordered Urhan to clean up the basement of the mansion. You told him to clean it all up by himself. Did you forget about that?”

“Oh, is that so? You have a good memory, hyung.”

“You really… … .”

“But is that my fault? It’s that guy’s fault, he’s a nobody. Anyway, those deserters… … . Hey! You walk all the way to Cheonghae Castle! Got it?”

“Ugh! Please don’t abandon me!”

“Sir Jeras? Just go. You don’t need to take care of that deserter.”

Jeras let out a deep sigh and then took out a communication device from his bosom.

“… …so that we can take care of those who fall behind.”

-Yes, sir!

Urhan ends up boarding the servants’ carriage.

“Okay, let’s go.”

The journey in the capital has come to an end.

There’s a mad dog living in the duke’s house
