Chapter 21

The sound of a door being knocked resounded inside the room

Then a beautiful voice that sounds like a bell reaches one’s ears

“I’ve brought the guest”

Perhaps, understand what kind of conversation they were about to have–

Though faint, the voice had an unusual stiffness to it

The reason why Ryouh joys and pains together since Ryou summoned to this world

Sara quickly moved toward the door and turn her eyes toward Ryoueaze, there was a glint of anxiety within…

(Sara as well, she seems to be a bit nervous… Well, I can’t bla on the outconificantly…

Of course, he had done everything he could so that it would turn to his favor

However, even with that, this was still a huge gamble

That hy even Ryouma also could felt a sense of nervousness within hi the guest wait any further would only bring negative outcome…

When she confirmed Ryouma small nods, Sara immediately opened the door

Then Ryouma proceed to invite the elderlyfor youPlease come in…”

Led by those words, Viscount Julio Gerhardt stepped his foot inside the rooilance…

Ryouaze

(He don’t have to be that vigilant… But well, I guess it is safer to remain cautious…)

Ryouma smiled at Viscount Gerhardt behavior…

He then slowly held out his right hand

“Finally, I could hted to welcome you to this house…”

His attitude was indeed friendly…

If a third party saw thehtthe difference in status between the two, it was indeed his greeting was kind of a cheap

However, their current behavior also didn’t show that once upon a time, they were both stand at the opposite side as enemies…

Even if it was only a superficial

And the one who understands that the most was must be the two people thehtly took Ryou childish such as gripping each other hands as if they were about to crush each other

There was no need to make such a move

(Even Viscount Gerhardt understand that ant and insufferable uess that was not all there was to him… Well, if he was only like that he won’t become the leader of aristocrats faction, I think…)

The huood intention could only be de one would try to hide

At least, Ryouma need to keep his friendly attitude and manners unless the difference in status was clear

Even if it was only pretense, no one could see the truth, to begin with…

(Maintaining a friendly attitude while still being vigilantNoto negotiate with lanced

(Earl Salzberg had thrown the work to rule to his wife Yuria, and drown himself in his own pleasure…)

Inside Ryou twisted by the absurdity of the aristocracy

He loved this country dearly, and his love was being betrayed, and his heart ended up filled with disdain and hatred

Then, giving up on such a mad world, he spends the day while drowned in pleasure, wishi+ng death somewhere inside his heart

In his view, the people ended up as livestock or slaves

Or enerate wealth

Of course, even in this world, people like Salzberg was rare

Since even though he ended up like that, Earl Salzberg still nity and become the military power and leader of the northern ten households

Though he ht be able to do that because of the existence of Yuria Salzberg who excelled in politics and Epiroz which located near the center of the northern region

Under nor household should’ve been destroyed by people’s revolt or the King’s intervention

Most nobles ather wealth, but not

And the ant noble who had dom

By the ti the civil war, their relationshi+p had automatically ended up as enemies, but in reality, even for Ryou with…

In fact, based on his previous infor with him, Ryouma was the type anted a athered by the Igclan changed everything

Of course, there was no specific evidence

Since what he had was only inforathered by the clan and assumption based on that information

That hy Ryouma decided to o of his hand and invite Viscount Gerhardt to sit on the sofa placed in the center of the room

After which Ryouma bowed his head toward Viscount Gerhardt

“I aht…”

Certainly, Ryouy was correct and relevant

Since Ryouma was ranked below him, unless they both had a close relationshi+p, it would be rude to call one superior late at night

Though people ht, it was actually not really that late

It was only around twenty minutes pass the time

If based on the ht, but since in this world people would go to bed after the sunset, this was a good ti visitor, this ood tiy, Viscount Gerhardt shook his head

“Please raise your headBaron Mikoshi+baGiven the unfortunatethat occurred between us, it was indeed an unexpected pleasure that we could have this kind of opportunityNo need to worry about our boring trifleLet us talk about the happy future rather than talk about the unhappy past”

After saying that, Viscount Gerhardt s his words, Ryouazed each other across the ebony table

(Such serious eyes… Not only he didn’t put pressure using the difference in status… He is also willing to talk withviewed from the distance that Viscount Gerhardt was someone who overconfidence and the leader of a faction

(I guess he was not born immediately as the leader of a faction huh?)

If the Viscount were indeed a foolish y as if it was a natural thing

And if he was the Julio Gerhardt he heard from Lupis and Meltina, he supposed to be soed him with too much-biased eyes…)

Queen Lupis and Meltina had already been at odds with the nobles in order to regain the power of the throne

Of course, that makes their evaluation of Gerhardt would be inadequate

To appreciate the beauty and e of nanimity and broadmindedness…

And unfortunately, it was i people idealistic mind

It was a rare mistake for Ryoued by such evaluation of the girls

(Well, it was not so easy to have a face to face conversation with the former enemy…)

Needless to say, even after the civil war, there was no direct acquaintance between Ryouma and Viscount Gerhardt

And Ryoudom after the civil as confined himself inside the rooet involved with any troubleAfter Queen Lupis broke her promise, he went to Wortenia peninsula immediately after

Before the expedition to the Zalda Kingdom, he had returned to the court once, but at that time, Viscount Gerhardt was holed up in his new territory

It didn’t mean that Ryouma didn’t know Viscount Gerhardt’s face since at least they had passed each other at the palace once or twice

But Ryouma only views him from afar, while Viscount Gerhardt surrounded himself with his faction

That was the only connection between the two so far

Of course, that was because the basis of Ryouma evaluation toward Viscount Gerhardt was based on information from Lupis and Meltina

However, when they meet face to face like this, Ryouht be a fact that Gerhardt was an arrogant person, but at least he had the wisdom to hold it inside of him

Which means he had self-control of his own eht be too rude, in kinder words, he is more like an aloof person…)

In the end, people only shohat they wanted people to see…

“Then I will accept your kind words…”

“Good…”

In response to Ryouma’s words, Viscount Gerhardt profoundly nods his head

Then, Ryouht to the pointWhat are your view on the current status quo and the future of this country?”

It was a very dangerous situation

It was not direct, but depending on how one listens to it, it may be interpreted as profane or treason

If Meltina heard Ryouma said that, she would’ve definitely sentenced him to death

It was a word that needs a proper time and place to be said

Or at least, it was not words where one could say it anywhere they wanted

And answering such a dangerous question also involves the saer

However, Viscount Gerhardt replied caler

“Soon, this country will collapse…”

He said it as if it was already set in stone
