“Well alright, enough about that… So, the reason you come here is not about Elmeda right?”
Breaking a heavy silence, Roberto finally cuts to the subject .
“Roberto, you know about it?”
“Isn’t that obvious?Being part of the defeated army yet I receive this kind of treatment . . Isn’t that natural for me to at least realize that?”
However, hearing Roberto words, Signiz’s face looked doubtful .
“What’s wrong with that face . You…did you think I was that stupid!?!”
“Well, it is you after all… There’s a possibility you didn’t realize it . ”
“You sure have the gall to say such bad things to your longtime friend . ”
Roberto scowled at Signiz while saying that .
The two people then stared at each other .
And then, they laughed out loud .
No one knew how much time had pa.s.sed .
Before long, Signiz erased the smile on his face and looked at Roberto .
“Well, all joking aside… If you know that much then good enough . My lord wanted your power . Lend him your power, Roberto . I think you should not let your ability get buried in this rural area or are you seriously willing to bury your bones for the northern frontier like this? Don’t you think you want to try your ability abroad?”
Saying that Signiz showed his usual cool-headedness .
His thoughts hidden from his surroundings and his close friend up until now, Signiz was finally able to say what he wanted .
However, in his words one thing should be noticed .
The moment he heard that word, Roberto’s eyes sharply shone .
“My lord, is it?”
“Yes…”
Signiz affirmed Roberto’s question .
In his word, one could feel deep respect .
It might be only a way of calling someone, but it showed how serious Signiz was .
(I can’t believe it, in just a few days, he could get Signiz this far…)
The man named Signiz Garbera that Roberto knew, was a man that never showed his desire much .
And this was not something superficial either .
Judging from how both men talk and behaved, Signiz would be much more friendly than Roberto .
Many people would often time think Signiz as a submissive person compared to Roberto and Signiz also played along with it .
However, all of that was just a façade to hide his true nature .
That was because it meant life or death for him to show dissatisfaction and ambition in front of his relatives .
Those who knew about Signiz true nature would be Roberto and his adoptive parent, Elmeda .
Those who knew about Signiz true nature would be Roberto and his adoptive parent, Elmeda .
Even Signiz didn’t show his nature to Earl Salzberg .
Or rather, even for Roberto who was his best friend, he never heard Signiz’s aspiration in life from his own mouth . –
It was then that Roberto realized a certain thing .
“I see… You…”
Understanding what Roberto was about to say, Signiz lifted the bottle to his mouth, laughed and drank some more alcohol .
“Haha, as you’ve expected . Presently, I’ve inherited the Garbera household . ”
In other words, the fourth son, born of a commoner woman, pushed aside his brothers and inherited the family .
For something like that to happen, it was something unthinkable for the aristocrats in this world .
Regardless of ability, the order of succession was usually strict . Well, that was if they were still alive…
“Is it you? Or Elmeda?”
