Chapter 13

Editor: Chaz

That night, Earl Bergstone who finished talking with Mikoshi+ba Ryouate, so he wouldn’t catch someone’s eyes

“Good workReht with anyone”

While speaking such words toward his servant who had served hi from his pocket

For other people, he stone, he was froenerations

Though he was not at the knight level, he had enough martial arts to perform simple escort

Just like this ti

His family house was next to this mansion, where he lives with his family

His son will start serving as an apprentice in a few years as long he didn’t have any big mistakes

In a sense, it was natural for him to receive more trust from the Earl compared to other attendants

It e but that’s also why Earl Bergstone never treated him badly

After all, for nobility, there was nothing more important than a vassal that they could trust–

Certainly, public opinion thought that nobility was filled with arrogant, cold and ruthless people

However, it was also a fact that such thoughts were just one aspect of the nobility itself

That nobility was not stupid enough to think they could maintain their power by themselves

To be precise, a fool who could not understand that wouldn’t be able to keep their house alive

By the end, even kar one pay the price for such foolishness

Just like a debt with a strange invoice–

“Well then, you should go back hoo buy some toys for the children…”

“Thank you very much… My Lord…”

Thethen bowed his head, then he returned to the coach and quietly advanced the horse

The tiht

It was the time when most people were already fast asleep and it was no different for the Earl Bergstone household as well

The light was off in his residence

nobody would guess that the owner of the ht

The exception to that was the gatekeeper who opened the back gate

In such a ston walked around with lamp on one hand

(Someone’s here?)

The moston sensed so

Listening carefully he could hear the sound of turning paper

(An assassin? No, there’s no way an assassin would behave like this…)

–

If an assassin were inside his room, then the person would besecond rate

Also, this dom

Although it was not as extensive as his residence in his territory, the guard here was still hard to pass

The assassination attempt on his brother-in-law the other day had raised the alertness level of the guard

At the very least, there was almost no possibility that the assassin could sneak in

At the same tiement would not just enter his office

Especially late at night like this

(If that the case then…)

When such thought passed his ston turned the doorknob

“Hernan, is that you?”

Bergston sighed after he saw the person inside the room

Well, even if he was his brother-in-law, it would be natural for him to feel somewhat aht

But he was still rational enough to not get angry immediately

However, contrary to Earl Bergston thought, Earl Zeref replied with a cheerful smile

“Thank you very htIt was cold outside, no?”

Saying so, Earl Zeref takes out the brandy bottle from the shelf as if he was the lord of the room

It was a fairly rare behavior of Earl Zeref who usually took one step back behind his brother-in-law, Earl Bergston

However, despite showing such attitude, Earl bergston didn’t look bothered

For hier brother

Thus, he drinks the alcohol Earl Zeref poured

It was quite a strong liquor

Warston who finished his work late

“It seeratulation…”

Apparently, he seeston’s facial expression

“As usual, you h it was just like usual, your ability is indeed great”

“Well, I’ve known you long enough as your brother-in-lawOf course, your wife knows you more than I do…”

Hearing that, Earl Bergston burst into laughter

Earl Zeref was soether with Earl Bergston

And Earl Bergston knew that it was not easy to read someone just from his or her expression

When one wants to laugh, cryWhen one wants to cry, laugh

That was the acting skill of a professional actor

Only two people who had ever seen through Earl Bergston easily

One of them was his wife and the other one was his brother-in-law

It would be natural for his ho spent a lot of time with him to be sensitive when it comes to his attitude and expression

However, Earl Zeref was his brother-in-law, despite spending a lot of tiether

In that sense, it sho high the ability of thesomeone’s heart

But, such an ability was so

(Well, that hy he took one step back froe…)

Earl Zeref appearance was a rounded body with an ordinary face

He was not ugly, but not the lady killer type either

His real value was not his appearance

In fact, Earl Zeref ht take such appearance because he tried to avoid the eyes of the surrounding

Fro, Earl Zeref was just an ordinary noble stuck behind his brother-in-law Earl Bergston

It was difficult to see his real ability just based on his appearance

(No… I guess those two also already notice it…)

(No… I guess those two also already notice it…)

The faces of two men appeared inside his head

One of them was the father-in-laho he respected

Although the father-in-laas defeated during the political struggle against Duke Gerhardt, he was still sodom

And such ston and Earl Zeref as his sons-in-law

At that time, many questions were raised as to why he choose Earl Zeref as his son-in-law, but the father-in-law never said anything

And the otherman

A young warrior who becaston new master

(Perhaps he is better than me…)

Such thought passes through his stone heart

However, that was only for a moment
