At first, he didn't know what was going on.
Flora grabs the soldier out of the office, and only after talking to him does she find out what happened in Lawrence.
'Yes god. '
Blood Fang's.
A faction called the criminal group vile even in Lawrence.
At one time, the noble family moved to exterminate them but eventually gave up on being determined to take revenge.
Thus, to Flora, Blood Fang remained an unsolvable problem.
As long as you don't touch them, they won't cause you any trouble, so I'm trying to stay away from them as much as possible.
Roman said he would deal with them the day I talked about breaking off the engagement.
Because she takes on the responsibility of breaking up on her own, Flora unwittingly attempts to stop Roman.
Yet.
“We are now strangers. So, I will take care of my own business.”
Roman draws the line.
Ever since the bond of arranged marriage had broken, they had clearly stated that they should not be involved in each other's lives.
Flora stunned.
I was angry, but my partner did not understand.
Is this his remaining pride?
Was she not being nice to me because I wanted to break off the engagement? Will he feel better after treating me like this?
I have a lot of thoughts.
Of course, I don't think Roman will do what he says.
Yet.
'You really took care of Blood Fang.'
What I thought was absurd became reality.
What no one else dared to do, Roman had done in just a few days.
This doesn't make any sense.
Dmitry's Fool?
It was a false rumor.
Even if the Knight Commander, Jonathan, had helped, the person he met and experienced was not a fool.
He knows how to take responsibility for his actions, and he also keeps his word on what he says he will do.
And if he had personally killed Ben Miles, the leader of Blood Fang, the rumor that he could not even use a sword was also most likely wrong.
Wh why?
Could Roman shut up to avoid world evaluation?
If she really knew what kind of man Roman was even earlier, Flora would have made an effort to get to know Roman better.
It's too late to regret.
Her cup had already been spilled, and now, Flora was summoned by her father.
His father suddenly began to praise Roman Dmitry.
I don't know what happened in his office, but his father's face clearly shows that he was amazed by what Roman did and liked Roman.
“... We decided to break off the engagement.”
said Flora.
To Viscount Lawrence, it was sudden.
Flora.
She is the daughter of Viscount Lawrence.
He was very protective of her. She was the princess he had raised all his life, but he could not tolerate it this time.
"Have you announced that farewell ?!"
Viscount Lawrence got up from his chair.
Flora's heart was pounding with anger from her father, whom she had never seen before, and she struggled to express her thoughts with a calm face.
“Yes, dad. The last time I visited the Dmitry estate, I expressed my intentions to Roman. I also want to do something for my family according to your wishes, but no matter how much I think about it, marry someone I can't respect— ”
“Flora. I thought you were a smart kid. But.. not this.”
He interrupted his speech.
Unlike usual, she did not want to listen to her daughter.
“I told you. How serious is the situation of our land today. Now, the Barco family has borrowed a large sum of money from the Gold Bank to prepare for a war against us. Did you make that choice knowing what that meant? No more compromise with the Barcos. They will bring us to our knees for this matter and take it all in the name of a good cause. It's not just about gold and silver. Our land, our honor, and even you, Lawrence's flower. That means taking everything.”
“Lawrence is not weak. Even if it was Barco, wouldn't it be impossible to win?”
"really. If only the Barco family advanced, it might happen. The problem was that the "central government" approved the document, although its authenticity was not confirmed, and the Gold Bank lent the money to the Barco family without special guarantees. It's not just a battle between two families. The power that gives power to the Barco family will create a battle where we have no choice but to lose, even to their own advantage.”
“…”
Flora's eyes twitched.
She's clever.
He was called talented from an early age and was proud enough of his brilliance to finish his academic course early.
However, it was only his academic knowledge.
Neither the academy nor the library showed a cold reality as there was no way he could learn it from books.
He thought Lawrence had nothing to lose, but the reality he believed in was far from real.
Viscount Lawrence said, “Sticking with the Dmitry family is an unavoidable option. From the family located in the Northeast, they are the only family that can add strength and strength to resolve the Barco family's evil intentions, so your father asked for your permission. I'm asking if you can sacrifice yourself for a family crisis. Of course, it will be difficult for you to resist, but if you still refuse back then, I will not be as angry as I am now. About choosing a mate that you like from among other prestigious families, so you must take a step back. However, this is different. Before, you were the Lawrence flower that everyone admired, but now you have left a scar with the option to break up the wedding.
World power.
In that world, options often come at a great price.
Lawrence, who got help from Dmitry through an arranged marriage, lost what they had gained due to the breakup.
Some time ago, Viscount Lawrence met with Roman.
He's a good guy.
His eyes were sharp, and he was a man with an attitude that did not waver even in front of a Viscount.
And seeing how he handled Blood Fang for the citizens, his own people seemed to like him a lot.
Because of all this, he was in a good mood.
He was in a good mood, even if it was a matchmaking.
The only reason was that he discovered that Roman was not a fool as the rumors had said.
Lawrence had no other choice, so he felt that the matchmaking was not bad.
But the cup has been spilled.
Therefore, everything they had prepared to deal with the Barco family had gone to waste.
“Then, the Barco family asked us to be betrothed. Maybe they crave our fertile land. At the time, I refused. No matter what advantage they gave us, the eldest son of the Barco family had many women who made me reject the proposal. And if we lose this war, you will not be part of Dmitry, but a woman from the Barco family. That's reality. At least before the war, you were in a position where you could choose your husband, but now, things are completely different.”
Reasons for arranged marriage.
Because his opponent is Barco.
Knowing what it meant to be defeated by those who had long been eyeing Lawrence, Viscount Lawrence accepted that reality.
Flora's heart sank.
The way he saw it.
There is no such story in this world.
What are Barco's intentions, and what will he gain by marrying into the Dmitry Family?
She's naive.
Because he had a pure heart in a cruel world, he chose to break up, not knowing what the outcome would be.
But now, he was facing a cold reality.
Viscount Lawrence took a breath.
Of course, there was still time to take out the spilled water.
“Take time to think about what mistakes you have made. I will make an appointment with Dmitry again and I will try to cancel that farewell. My daughter, we are nobles. We are not in a position to worry about our daily lives like ordinary people. This is a position that has more responsibility than them. Please pray that this problem can be resolved. If Dmitry rejects our offer this time, our chances of winning the war against the Barco family will be very slim.”
Fortunately, the separation was not known to the public.
The only way to avoid mistakes is to do something right away.
Viscount Lawrence left Flora in a state of shock and left her in the office.
There is a lot of work to be done from now on.
...----------------
...
At the same time, Roman left Lawrence with the Dmitry Knights.
They're moving.
Knight Commander Jonathan sees Roman's appearance.
'Is this really the Roman Young Master I know?'
Romance.
From what he knew, Roman was not born with enough confidence to stare straight at Viscount Lawrence.
Simultaneously, all the things he did about Blood Fang.
That's very questionable.
He hasn't really spoken to Roman, but now he can't stand his itchy mouth.
“Young master, is it necessary to provoke Viscount Lawrence like that? I'm glad he didn't take it seriously, but if Viscount Lawrence gets angry, not even the young master will be able to escape punishment."
Where he was reprimanded, Roman criticized his opponent.
Jonathan was so shocked back then that he almost tried to stop Roman.
"Is there a need for that?"
Roma laughs.
A need?
There aren't.
It was best to finish it on the spot, but he deliberately changed his attitude in an atmosphere of reprimanding himself.
“Lawrence is not free from responsibility in this case. Their negligence allowed the existence of Blood Fang, and as a result, the people on Dmitry's estate were harmed. So, I'm just pointing out the facts. The fact that they had no right to reprimand me at that moment. Even if everything is not the same, Viscount Lawrence will not punish me. Judging from the atmosphere, it seemed like he had not known the fact of the breakup, and he would not make a foolish decision to punish his future son-in-law.”
“…!”
roman behavior
That's not reckless action.
Roman assessed the situation, and he said enough comments to deal with.
“Our family didn't even have good communication between us to tell them about the breakup. Do you still think that I need to ask forgiveness from them? I deal with problems that they cannot, if I want to get something, it will be a compliment and not a punishment.”
Confident attitude and along with confident voice.
At that moment, Jonathan became convinced.
'Young master has changed.'
Dmitry Roman.
He's not the stupidest guy he used to be.
...----------------...
Roman arrived at his house.
He immediately immersed himself in the bathtub and doused the blood from his body with warm water.
'Even in my new life, my fundamentals have not changed.'
I killed someone.
In fact, he killed at least a dozen.
Blood Fang was slaughtered like that, but he did not feel guilty for them.
'That's needed.'
Roman, no, Baek Joong-hyuk.
He lives in the survival world of the fittest.
If he shows hesitant weakness when he has to kill someone, Baek Joong-hyuk's life will end when he is young.
So, if he made a decision, he had to act.
If anyone gets in his way, he will cut them off without hesitation and, if necessary, torture them in most cases.
It was Baek Joong-hyuk's life.
Nothing changed when he became a Roman.
If anyone shows their killing intent, eliminating them by any means necessary is Baek Joong-hyuk's way of life.
If the same thing happens again in the future, Roman will make the same decision.
Whether the opponent was the remains of Blood Fang or someone stronger than them, Roman would always live a life as a predator by devouring those who opposed him.
"Young Master Dmitry, Mr. Dmitry called you."
He finished his shower.
Hearing Hans words, Roman changed into clean clothes and started walking.
Shortly after, he arrived at the office.
However, Baron Romero, who he thought would criticize his reckless actions, looked at him with a blinding gaze.
An expression that could not hide his great anticipation.
Baron Romero asked, "So, you're dealing with Blood Fang alone?"
Jonatan stood beside him.
Right, he must have told her the situation.
The meaning of the question is clear.
Romero Dmitry, as the father of his son, not the ruler of Dmitry, is unable to hide his joy after learning that his son has finally changed for the better.
