32 – 32. Eastern Knights (9)

“damn… “What’s bothering you?”

Looper yawned and got into the carriage.

And he looks down at the Thorman man who came to visit him.

“Hey, I told you not to come visit me today because I’m with my father, right? Where are you going in that dirty way? .”

At those words, his father, Sir Dwyer, admonished his son in a solemn voice.

“Your voice is frivolous. “Make sure to maintain your dignity wherever you go.”

“I’m sorry, father… .”

Lord of the North, Earl of Dwyer.

He is the closest associate directly under the Northern Grand Duke and has great influence on Northon.

“Okay, let’s watch you mediate this case and see what you learned at Subangsa.”

The father looks expectant, as if he trusts his son.

Then Looper smiled and answered confidently.

“Of course, after all, since I was appointed to Northon, the crime rate has been close to zero.”

The count was impressed by the proud appearance of his son.

I can’t believe that my son, who had always been lazy and skimpy on food, has grown so well.

“I hope that’s true.”

“If we solve this case, will you recommend me to the Imperial Knights?”

“Of course, just look at this quarter’s performance and I will recommend you to Her Majesty the Second Princess’s Verdant Knights.”

Knights of Verdant.

Although it is a new organization, the number of applicants is increasing one after another thanks to Allen’s recent outstanding performance.

Even someone with mediocre skills can go to a place like that.

Looper’s shoulders rose even higher and he fell into a happy fantasy.

The count and his son leisurely got out of the carriage.

However, their leisure soon disappeared.

An old pizza place that nobles wouldn’t even bother to look at.

Because there were six Eastern knights on the terrace of that store.

A girl in a hat sitting in the center of them all.

When I saw the academy uniform-like clothes and black hair, I assumed it was a young lady who had come out for lunch.

Looper stared at the girl.

Because the beautiful face that contrasted with the plain clothes was attractive.

“It’s me. “They pre-purchased the building we were trading in and tripled the price?”

The Thorman man spoke to Looper and the Count in an urgent voice.

Then, the defense engineer smiled and answered slyly.

“Yes, I know a lady like that very well.”

Before meeting her, Looper adjusted his face in the carriage.

Although she is a little chubby, flesh is a symbol of wealth.

I thought I had nothing to lose compared to other knights.

“Father, I will resolve the matter and come back soon.”

Count Dwyer smiled with satisfaction at his son’s proud appearance.

And I watched from afar as Looper headed toward the young lady.

However, the count soon tilted his head.

The face of the Academy Lady in the distance looked somewhat familiar.

“hello?”

Lydia was twisting her hair alone.

She frowned at the round knight approaching from the entrance.

“who are you?”

“Ah, the ‘elite’ knight of the Subangsa Temple. “This is Ruper Dwyer.”

He lowered his head in a very sly voice, which was different from usual.

Lydia was taken aback by that ridiculous tone.

“so?”

A young lady with a stern expression.

Looper was a little embarrassed by this, but decided that he was ignored because he was a defense engineer.

“Oh, don’t worry. Even if their immediate affiliation is to a low-class place like this, they are descendants of a count family. Moreover, I am planning to join the Imperial Knights soon… .”

“So what is your business?”

Lydia seemed irritated at the sight of Looper talking back and forth and stopped talking.

“Well, that is…” There was a problem during the building transaction… .”

Usually, when people hear the story of the Dwyer family, they cover their mouths and are shyly surprised.

That’s why my father’s influence in the North was so great.

However, the pretty girl in front of me was different.

She looked down on herself arrogantly, as if she was looking at a bug, and asked her business again.

“Ah, you are the senior who said he would call you.”

You guy.

The corner of Looper’s mouth twitched when he heard a girl who looked younger than him call him a bastard.

Also, a senior?

A looper who only heard from Luca that a problem arose during a transaction at the plaza.

He frowned when he heard that his junior had arrived early and was taking care of the situation.

“Go inside and see for yourself. Because I’m waiting for you right now.”

“Hmm… “Then I’ll see you after it’s over.”

Looper gave a sad look.

And then I leisurely walked to the tightly closed door.

Yes, let’s resolve the case reliably.

Then, the lady’s eyes will change when she looks at herself.

The chubby defense engineer thought this as he pulled the door open.

And he shouted in a loud voice as if for her to hear.

“How did you handle things that you even called me?”

He entered the restaurant with an arrogant voice.

However, his relaxed face soon turned white.

Orn, who was on friendly terms with him and offered bribes.

Because he was kneeling on the floor of the store with his head down.

The same goes for other subordinates.

There was only one person sitting in the restaurant.

I didn’t want to see him again, so I didn’t even go near him… .

Bale Mikhail.

“Senior, are you here?”

I smiled broadly and welcomed him.

Then I got up from my seat and walked towards him.

“I’m sorry, I was trying to mediate a fight that broke out in the patrol area… .”

He placed his hand on Looper’s shoulder.

The guy flinched at the familiar sensation.

“These guys said they were going to call my senior? “If that person comes, people like me can be kicked out right away.”

I sat him down across the table.

And asked with a calm expression.

“Sir, have you ever taken a bribe from these guys?”

Direct gaze.

Looper’s pupils rolled back and forth at the look in his eyes.

Then I met Ornn’s face.

The head of the Thorman clan looked at Looper as if he were a savior.

However, he tried to ignore the looks in his family’s eyes.

“It’s not a bribe, not at all. Rather, these are all faces I’ve never seen before?”

“Oh, I see.”

The Thorman family was stunned when their tail was cut off.

I looked at their reactions and nodded roughly.

“Then, since you are here, I will arrest you in front of you.”

I got up from the chair.

And I tried to tie their arms with the rope I had prepared in advance.

However, I soon came to a halt.

Looper’s riding shoes are visible when you tilt your head.

Those shoes and even the leather gloves in the back pocket.

Because it was a ‘northern’ luxury product that was difficult to obtain with the salary of a defense engineer.

“But it’s so strange.”

I got up again, fiddling with the rope.

Then he looks at Looper’s fat wrist and asks.

“I heard it while interrogating them earlier, and they said that among the bribes paid was horseback riding equipment.”

“Ha, you don’t even know my family line? “This kind of equipment is just a bargain to me!”

Looper snorted shamelessly.

However, his snort soon turned into contemplation.

“Yes, of course, but it is a different story if the equipment is the traditional equipment of the Thorman clan that cannot be obtained in the capital.”

I slowly approached my senior holding a rope.

“My senior is proudly wearing a set of bribes that only exist in the empire.”

The sound of my military boots echoes in the enclosed restaurant.

Looper began to back away as the sound got closer.

“Hey, Veil. “Are you really doubting me now?”

“Is there even any reason to doubt it? “I already heard everything from him.”

“sh*t… .”

Looper closed his eyes tightly.

And then he sighs and mutters.

“Can’t you please take a look? If I get through this safely, I will join the Imperial Knights… .”

“That’s really good.”

“It’s Her Majesty’s Second Princess’ Knights. Although it’s new, the prospects are good because of Allen.”

When I heard that she was the second princess, I stopped in my tracks.

And stared at him with dead, unfocused eyes.

“how is it? If you close your eyes just once, I’ll take you too. “Not at the bottom like at the appointment ceremony, but at the middle level.”

He made a rather tempting offer.

However, that was actually a mistake.

How dare he try to protect Irina with his skills and personality.

Looper only made me angry.

“We’ll talk about the details at the knighthood.”

Mana wrapped around his arm.

And just as I was about to arrest him.

The mana in Looper’s chest began to fluctuate.

“I don’t think that will happen.”

He secretly put his hand into his chest.

He then injected mana into the necklace he was wearing and broke it.

‘Is it a call seat?’

“It’s Looper!”

Lord Dwyer with an urgent expression.

And then a coachman and escort driver came running into the restaurant.

“Breaking the call box, what on earth happened?”

“Ah, father… .”

Looper soon starts crying.

He started to look very frustrated.

‘A guy like a snake.’

Was the reason you brought your father with you was for this kind of emergency?

“See you, Count.”

As if responding, I bowed my head and greeted his father.

And he explained the situation with a calm expression.

“Your son received a bribe from Northon’s criminal organization.”

With his hand, he pointed to a group of Thorman kneeling on the ground.

“And they turned a blind eye to all the harm they caused.”

He then pointed to an empty store.

“Thanks to this, the powerful guys committed even more evil deeds. “When today’s deal with the Eastern Lady didn’t go as planned, I tried to use violence.”

Lastly, I point to Lydia, who is staring at me from the terrace.

“When you were horseback riding today, didn’t your son ride a horse more like a dog than usual?”

“Yeah, that’s right. “The equipment was so heavy that I couldn’t even use my strength.”

“It wasn’t the equipment you bought, right?”

In response to my question, Count Dwyer nodded with a puzzled expression.

“That’s right, it was all equipment I had never seen before.”

“Those items are one of the bribes I received from them.”

My father was surprised to hear the word bribe.

He glanced down at the equipment his son was wearing.

“Looper, is everything this driver said true…? ?”

The father’s look of embarrassment.

But Looper didn’t care and spoke confidently.

“I just received it out of admiration as a knight, just like my father received it from other nobles.”

“Do you really think this situation is the same as yours?”

Looper is dumbfounded by the Count’s yelling.

He was scared, probably thinking that they would naturally take his side.

“You accepted bribes from criminals and abandoned your duty as a knight!”

Fortunately, the count was a man worthy of his status.

I just failed to raise my children.

I thought things would go smoothly with this.

However, I overlooked one fact.

“Did you say Lord Veil? “I will apologize for this incident!”

No matter how noble a noble may be, his or her own child cannot endure this.

“How can you not just let it go once?”

The count of the world approached the commoner knight and bowed.

“Please. “If the only heir to the family has a criminal record, isn’t that tantamount to a death sentence?”

He looked up at me with a calm expression.

But soon I felt it.

From noble mtl dot com

‘An expression that says what can you do if you don’t get an apology here?’

Receiving an apology from a count despite being a commoner is his life’s achievement, so he says he’s done with it.

Definitely better than my son.

The appearance of putting aside a situation for a while to overcome it.

He knows it too.

Once an apple is properly planted like this, there is nothing I can do about it.

However, after he apologizes like this, he will try to retaliate from behind.

“Well, honestly, I don’t care what my senior is. “Because I don’t really care.”

I briefly turned my head and looked at Lydia.

And I speak quietly to the Count.

“However, I don’t know the position of the lady who was directly affected.”

I pointed to Lydia, who was sitting on the terrace and yawning, showing her fangs.

“Let’s go talk to him. If he forgives me, I’ll turn a blind eye.”

And he returned the same pretentious smile that the count had been wearing.
