Vol 13 Chapter 248 (1/2)

The original scan:

A badly edited version of it:

Revenge

Perhaps it had been revenge

That’s what the Walt House’s Fifth Generation Head said to me

The scenery projected around was a horrid one

A fallen carriage

Within a heavy downpour cold enough to bring pain to the skin on contact, a single woman covered Fredricks Blood flowed frohtly-swelled stomach

I knehat this flow led to

『Mama, mama!』

In the carriage that’d fallen fro to the Fourth’s wife… his mother

『I-It’s alright Fredricks… it going to be alright』

The ones who attacked the carriage were those dressed as bandits But from what I could see frouards, and attacking only the carriage, causing it to fall I couldn’t think it the offense of a robber

Watching the scene alongside me, the Fifth opened his mouth

『Back then,ive all sorts of reasons as to why she wouldn’t have another, she’d go on and on… but even I could tell it was because of the accident I knew』

The guards that raced over quickly kept watch as they destroyed the carriage, ency h the downpour to the Walt House at once

The irey there and stopped It looked as if the raindrops were frozen in air

『… They weren’t just bandits We were ht their resent back on, they were too skilled And the neighboring lord’s son who invited us out in the first place called out to me with a smile afterwards』

Was the Fifth thinking too deeply, or was it all devised

The i in fro with the Fourth

Making a fist, the Fourth was short of breath

『Max-sama…』

I thought I had seen that worried knight before He had groeathered, but it was the knight punched off by the Third, who informed the Fourth of his crisis

『… I know Bothfor any ive it! Conduct a complete search! Flush theet information out of whatever bandits you catch! I’ll also use this to…』

Gripping the blue ge the Third’s Skill Mind recorded in it But that wouldn’t’ constitute evidence

『Infor implanted by the Skill itself Even if we identified a culprit, ouldn’t have been able to lay a hand on thee house, we’d easily have been rendered immobile』

When I listened in on his words, the scene changed again

In his early teens, Fredricks was once more in a e, punched and kicked

『Shorty, just when is your place going to start listening to us!?』

A large-built boy hit the Fifth Colliding with the wall, Fredricks didn’t say a word, as he tried to stand He was kicked

Around, so as they watched

『Upstarts are just the worst I definitely won’t want to marry into the Walt House』

『And he’s a shorty, after all』

『His mother’s also a shorty, and an imperial noble at that What’s more, she can’t have children anymore Worst as a woman as well』

Fredricks looked down, as he grit his teeth, and bore it The large boy grasped up Fredricks’ lapels, and lifted him up

『Try saying souess you can’t That day, the carriage fell, and she was injured right?』

Fredricks endured He clenched his fist hard enough for blood to drip from it, but he endured

“Fifth, why didn’t you say anything back?”

The Fifth looked at the ie

『… Because they all had their stories straight They’d clearly discussed it beforehand If I did anything back, they’d uy Naturally, that would become a problem in the talks between our parents I said it, didn’t I? The Walt House of the ti We couldn’t even trust our own vassals Oh, there were soh The Forxuz House, for instance』

The scene changed to the Walt House manor

His mother spoke to Fredricks

『Fredricks, you aren’t hiding anything?』

『N-not at all』

Max carried on

『… The truth is, a neighboring lord brought up talks of hter I declined it The Forxuz House’s head and previous head were strongly against it as well She wasn’t worthy, it seems』

『… Okay』

May seeards to the matter

He merely turned a smile to his parents

And the scene switched to a village where cultivation had begun

Fredricks was surrounded by knights, looking over the village, and studying

『Is this a good land?』

One of the knights courteously explained to him

『I can’t say it’s very good, but if the work is put it, it can become plentiful If it succeeds, it will become your achievement, Fredricks-sama』

『But I’ the work as a part of my studies?』

The Fifth looked at the young knight, and muttered

『… Old Randbergh That’s his grandson』

Hearing Randbergh, I looked at the youngI’d definitely seen him somewhere before, I saw he reseht

The Fifth continued

『Served as a knight frouy』

And a sirl crashed into Fredricks It seems she had ran around a corner, and collided

『H-hey! Separate from Fredricks-sama at once!』

The knight extended a hand to the girl, but Fredricks laughed, and shook his head

『It’s fine You’d better be careful from here on』

The girl looked at Fredricks with a face that showed she didn’t really get as going on There, a young girl as probably her sister raced over with a pale face She lowered her head, and gave an apology

『I-I deeply apologize!』

Bowing a number of times, she held her presuiveness Fredricks looked quite confused at seeing her like that So looking at the elder sister, Fredrick’s face was a little flushed

『I-it’s fine! We’ll overlook it this time Now return to your work』

His voice was a little raised, and the two young girls looked relieved, as they lowered their heads with s their backs as they ran off, Fredricks hesitated

And seeing that, the knight

『… Shall I send theht?』

There, Fredricks’ face went bright red

『Y… y-y-y-you fool! I-I didn’t… didn’t…』

Those around looked at hie stride, shook off the knights, and proceeded on

The Fifth looked at the scene

『We planned to increase our nues from there on So the Fourth determined there was a need for ed as can be』
