Chapter 44: Evan D. Sherden, Receives the King’s Orders (3)
Evan D. Sherden, Receives the King’s Orders (3)
On the way, after two weeks of staying in a village or city, the Marquis and the group were finally able to enter the royal city.
No matter how much s.p.a.ce was expanded and how comfortable the sofas were, it was inevitable that boredom had built up, so they arrived at the Sherden family’s villa in The Royal City and finally got out of the carriage.
“I’m sorry, in fact, if it was supposed to be a leisurely thing, we would have stopped by various places to see the scenery.”
“But as it’s a call from His Majesty the King, we could not. It’s okay, father. Instead, how many places could we stop by? It only took a few days.”
“Come, don’t you worry about that.”
As he had said, Evan was a big fan of the Yo-Ma Great War series again and again. Somehow, the Yo-Ma Great War series was usually in this country.
There were many cases where the n.o.bility was used as the main stage for the story, and of course, major cities in various parts of the country were often mentioned in CG or log.
“There are so many places I wanted to go to. Steama, famous for its hot springs, Roy Zen, a gambling city, and Port of Palman.”
They all were mentioned quite heavily in the Yo-Ma Great War series, and Roygen and Palman Harbor even appeared in more than two series. If you are a fan of the Yo-Ma Great War series, how would you not want to go there!
Evan checked the major cities on the way back from the royal city to the dungeon city. It would be difficult to visit Palman Port and Roizen on that trip, but he could go to Hot Spring Village Steama!
“I’m going to take away everything there. Hahahaha.”
Of course, Evan didn’t just have pure desires as a fan of nature, but the Marquis couldn’t read that far. He just found him cute and just pet his son.
“Yes, yes, let’s go anywhere. The two of us are rich, so a trip wouldn’t be bad.”
Still, because of the royal summons, he had to be separated from his cute daughter, who had just pa.s.sed a month since her birth, and he was resolving the longing he felt for her with Evan. So Evan had to suffer for that.
“Wow, even though it’s a villa, it’s very s.p.a.cious.”
“s.h.i.+ne, be careful with your words.”
They did not have the feeling of being too fearful in the carriage, so they had gotten closer. Belois calmed s.h.i.+ne down by reminding him, who was admiring without thinking about the villa’s size. The Marquis just laughed.
“The dungeon city was founded by the 13th generation of the Sherden family. So, it is natural that this was our family’s residence until my great-grandfather was appointed as the manager of the city of dungeons.”
“When your current grandfather was first appointed as the lord of the dungeon city, he succeeded from the count to the Marquis, right?”
“Right. You learned very well.”
“Oh, I know that. The 13th Count Sherden, who is the father’s present grandfather, was originally the head of the Royal Palace Guard Knights, right?”
“That’s also the correct answer, s.h.i.+ne. He was the strongest man in the country at the time. He was worthy of being the lord of the dungeon city.”
The dungeon is not so long in history. At least 150 years old. It was ridiculously short compared to the history of humanity in this land.
“In Yo-Ma Great War 1, the existence of the dungeon was not even mentioned. It was at the level that it was predicted there would be appearance of the dungeon in scenarios that were added later as they were remastered.”
However, the story did not revolve around the dungeon. The protagonist of Yoma Daejeon 2 was a fugitive, so there was no time for him to stay in the dungeon at leisure!
There was an opportunity to stay in the dungeon for a very short period of time, and at that time, how deeply the dungeon was cleared within a limited time became the key to clearing the game. It was a very exciting element.
“2… 2 was also so good. If Leo was still alive, I’d love to see him once, but grandfather Bernard won’t tell me whether he dies or not?”
The scenario of Yoma Daejeon 2, where the protagonist Leo grows in the process of proving his unjust framing wrong, and he ends up defeating the devil king with his colleagues who believe in him and becoming a hero of mankind despite all the misunderstandings, envy, and jealousy. Isn’t that the story that resonates with the hero story?
Evan also liked Leo Arfeta, the protagonist of 2, very much. In fact, the name could be chosen as the user wanted, and the heroic movement from the main character from 3 was recorded as it was.
It was much better when the main characters of 0, 1, and 2 were just the preset characters.
“Aside from being able to choose a heroine, the 2nd way of operation was almost fixed. Yes, heroine! Ahhhhhhhhh, why haven’t I ever thought of this! In the end, who did Leo Arpeta connect with? Suddenly I have gotten really curious!”
When Evan was suffering from new anguish, servants rushed out of the mansion. They were residing in the mansion in case the Marquis comes to the royal city.
These were the servants who were managing this place.
“How are you, Master? Young Master!”
“How are you!”
“I will bring you inside, sir.”
“These are people I don’t know well.”
That’s why he didn’t want to come out until he was ready to some extent. Evan noticed s.h.i.+ne and Belois. They nodded as if they knew.
“You don’t have to worry because these children will be in my service.”
“Then, simple refreshment for these children.”
“It’s okay. The butlers and maids are directly taught how to deal with the children, so if you leave them alone, we will care for them for you.”
“Huh.”
The butler in charge of the villa was a little puzzled by Evan’s reaction, but he wondered if the second master was a little sensitive.
He nodded and stepped back. Evan was just on the lookout for that new death sign!
“The mansion of an aristocrat that was neglected, the servants working here. It’s a more dangerous condition than anything else. I don’t know what will happen when here.”
It was a way of thinking that implied that he was worried because he might have read too many cartoons, but if it was Evan, the death signal maker, anything could happen!
He walked cautiously after the Marquis. The Marquis laughed when he saw Evan. He had already thought that Evan was scared by the new environment. He still thought that a child was a child, after all.
After quick unpacking, lightly was.h.i.+ng and changing clothes, the group gathered in the parlor. The reception room was clean without a single mote of dust, perhaps because the servants stayed and managed it continuously.
“Let’s see. Do you have any letters that arrived in the meantime we were coming here?”
The Marquis said, taking a sip of the tea that the maid served.
Of course, Evan was drinking the tea he had prepared separately. Before leaving for the trip, it was worthwhile to learn how to make tea well even though Maybell had seemingly shed b.l.o.o.d.y tears in the pain of not being able to come with him.
“I have received letters from many aristocrats asking for you to visit them. Among them, Duke Les Onine, Marquis of Felduk, Marquis of Misorn, and Count of Bavaria are requesting an interview with the Master during your stay in the royal road.”
“Bavarian?”
“Yes. It seems they want to see you.”
Bavarian was a representative family of commercial success. Although the criticism that the t.i.tle was bought with money was famous among the n.o.bility, the county who was quite successful can be bought with money? It can’t. In other words, it was an absurd success.
There was a saying that if you want to earn some money in this country, you cannot succeed without going through Bayern. Either hold hands with them or become their enemies.
However, this time, the Marquis had not yet contacted them while expanding the business extensively. But they noticed first. The fact that they contacted them was also a sign.
“Well, Bavarian… Bavarian.”
He was not scared. However, they would become a nuisance if left alone. If so, it was the time to choose one of the two choices, or should they hold on a little longer?
If he had brought the butler, he would have discussed it with him, or should he still have communicated with him? The Marquis was in anguish. Then he took a quick look at Evan. The butler, who noticed the gaze, and made a puzzled expression.
“It would be better to pa.s.s it over this time.”
My G.o.d!
It was so surprising that the butler was overwhelmed. No, what is this now? The Marquis looks to the young Master for advice? Not the opposite? Was it that they had used magic to change the spirit and soul?
“Oh, you mean hold on?”
“Yes, we are hiding from the outside anyway. We’re not doing anything bad.”
However, Marquis and Evan began to have a conversation. The butler had not yet known where the idea of most of the business of the Marquis came from!
“Right. However, Evan, sometimes even if there is no sin, people are crowded as criminals and executed.”
“If they’re afraid of Sherden’s spear, they won’t be able to attack directly. However, they could try to steal the skill by infiltrating a spy, or they could try to interfere with the Pharmacy or do something dirty against the customer.”
“Right. I’m worried about those vulgar things.”
“So, it would be better to hold on so that it doesn’t show off our decision. As if giving off that we’re still deciding.”
“Evan, do you know anything about them?”
Yes. He knew. Even before the beginning of Yo-Ma Great War 3, the Baieron family was destroyed.
Evan knew for sure. Even their descendants did not appear in Yo-Ma Great War 4, so he knew the reason…
Evan struggled for a while, but he thought this was an important issue, so he decided to reveal his honest thoughts. However, if he just said it as is no matter how he said it, it was too obvious…
“It feels bad. Not for us, for them. Either way, if you engage them, we will see bad things in the near future.”
Eventually, it was like a fortune-teller said it! Only strange people would believe in this?
“Master Evan? Such words have a very great influence on the judgment of the Marquis.”
“Okay, I see. Don’t doubt my beautiful boy.”
“Hmm!?”
He believed him!? The butler’s eyes were widened enough to fall out. The Marquis nodded, as if determined and sure, “I’ll have to talk to the aristocrats about that.”
He had a mission to correct his Master’s faults with his support as a butler, but the determination he felt in the Marquis seemed to be unchangeable, so he could not open his mouth.
“I want to deal with the things that have been pushed back while I was on the royal road, but would you tell me if there is anything else that comes to mind, Evan?”
“Can I really do that, father? Will you trust me?”
“Hahaha, why will I not believe in my son? And if we fail, will our family be destroyed? We can use this as our son’s training. So don’t hesitate to tell me.”
Cool! I mean, a father could be so cool! But because of this father, Evan would grow up to be such a bad guy in the game!
Evan endured and pledged to not be blinded by the halo emanating from the back of the Marquis.
“But I am different! This time Evan will never be a bad guy, Father! Oh, and I’m not going to just die easily too!”
But at this point, Evan was mistaken, as the Marquis was already convinced, like Bernard, that Evan knew things that no one else knew, and he thought that his words were almost a prophecy.
Marquis never did things like Evan’s imagination of him. He wasn’t just his father but a strong aristocrat too!
“If I fail, I can’t really help it, but there’s no way Evan’s words are wrong.”
The Marquis thought so. And that was the right answer.
“Then just one more thing… Is there a village where all of the sub-barons rule over here? It’s a good place to visit while going back to the dungeon city.”
“There certainly is. We’ll be there in 5 days as long as we get a good route.”
Only
“How can we not go here? Oh, and next year, an envoy is coming from Sangkuk.”
Evan had an opportunity at this time, so he shared some of the knowledge he knew that the Marquis could use.
Honestly, even if someone listened to him, he said a lot of words in vain.
“Well, good. I’ll have to bet all of the hidden a.s.sets that our ancestors have kept from generation to generation and play a match.”
The Marquis was a much more daring man than Evan thought!
“No, is the owner really alright like this!? And what the h.e.l.l is up with Master Evan, I heard that he was just a naughty boy who was reputed to be prettier than a woman!?”
Shortly after the two n.o.bles’ counseling, which outsiders could never understand, an envoy from the king arrived.
That same evening, an order to stop by the palace came.
