7. 1 hour

“You said the head of household was beaten?!”

Deia Verdi, who was reading a book, stood up in surprise.

The chair made a loud noise as it was thrown back, but there was no time to care.

A sudden sad news brought by a maid.

To say that Darius Verdi, who is the pride of the Verdi family, and who is no different from the last guardian, has fallen.

It was a crisis for the Verdi family and the most urgent emergency signal ringing in Northweden.

“The Lord is coming right away. The wound on my shoulder was serious, so I immediately called a doctor.”

“Keep your room warm, and bring bandages and medicine. They also tell you to make a healthy stew.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“And.”

The maid, who was about to move immediately after receiving the order, hesitates as she tries to turn her steps.

Deia closed her mouth and bit her lip.

“no. Let’s proceed. Treatment with magic causes deep fatigue in the body, so you need to create an environment where you can rest as comfortably as possible.”

“All right.”

The peaceful daily life suddenly changed urgently.

The face of the head of the house, who was ridiculing and saying that it was only a day or two that foreigners came over the mountain range, shimmered.

‘That’s why I need to be vigilant!’

Shouldn’t you at least figure out the enemy’s strength and go?

Just because it’s no different than usual and prepares roughly, doesn’t it end up like this?

‘Anyway, I don’t like all the men in this family!’

Darius Verdido, who is brought in with an injury, and Deius Verdido, who pretends to be normal.

It was Deia who didn’t like everything.

After putting on the coat hung on the hanger, Deia heads outside.

Their footsteps were gaining strength before they knew it, and the strong sound of footsteps echoing through the hallway signaled the urgency of the situation.

I was going to go to the 1st floor and meet Darius being brought in.

Walking down the hallway, the tightly locked room right next door catches my eye.

Deus Verdi’s room.

As Darius instructed, it was Deia herself who locked the door with magic, so she knows that the door will never open.

“after.”

Just now, when I spoke to the maid, I thought for a moment.

Thinking of asking for help from his second son, Deius.

Right now, I was in a situation where I really wanted to borrow a cat’s hand.

But no.

“What do you want from an asshole?”

Those aren’t cat hands, they’re just bug legs.

Thinking so, Deia was able to pass Deus’s room without hesitation.

After waiting for about 30 minutes at the entrance to the first floor, I saw soldiers riding a horse and driving a cart in a hurry from afar.

The look was sloppy, as if it hadn’t been washed for several days, and the sunken dark circles and sunken cheeks made Deia feel guilty for no reason.

“Dah, Deia! The lord… … !”

“Know! Butler, hurry up and bring the housekeeper inside!”

The servants who were waiting with Deia hurriedly ran to the cart and carried Darius into the mansion.

Deia, who glanced at the soldiers who were staring blankly at them, approached and patted them on the shoulder.

“Come inside. I have prepared a meal for you, so warm up with a full stomach.”

“Kheup, I’m sorry!”

“If we had worked harder… … !”

The soldiers burst into emotion after Deia’s warm words.

“Okay. It’s okay, so come inside. You guys have worked hard enough, so I will take responsibility for it.”

Deia, determined to be determined, gave Darius food and a place to rest for the soldiers who had brought him here, and then headed to Darius’ room.

In addition to the best clinic in North Sweden, which is located in a warm room, numerous medicinal herbs are always available.

The servants of the mansion were also glazed over saying they would do anything.

All of these people are from the North.

My family is waiting for me out of the mansion and into downtown North Whedon.

When aliens tried to invade such a land, everyone hoped for the treatment of Darius, the strongest warrior who could stop it.

“Senator, how is the county?”

To Deia’s nervous question, the councilor answered with a gloomy groan.

“I don’t think it will be difficult to stand on the front line right now.”

A diagnosis like a thunderbolt to everyone in the room.

Deia exclaimed urgently.

“No, nonsense! Considering the state of the head of household, only a stab wound on the shoulder… … !”

“However, the opponent was not good. The unique mana remaining inside continues to eat away at the wound.”

“… … What?”

It was the first time I heard about it.

The opponent’s mana remains inside the family head’s body and continues to leave scars?

“I heard that there are such people in the Clark Republic. Masters of combat who neutralize enemies with a single blow.”

Putting on his glasses, the congressman continues to speak while spewing out his miserable feelings.

“It looks like you fell for one of those people. As long as that being doesn’t collect mana, or is threatened to the point where it can’t use mana… … No matter how much treatment the head of household receives, the wound won’t heal.”

“under.”

Deia slapping her forehead.

She exhaled deeply.

After cleaning up on the mountain ridge, the aliens will rush to bite the nape of the neck right here.

In order to head into the kingdom from the north, food or supplies were essential, so they would plunder in Northwedon.

If I had had a little more time, I might have made a wise choice.

It was a momentous situation, so it was a waste of time to sigh like now.

“Ask for support from other margraves and surrounding nobles.”

Everyone in the room knew what a big decision she had made.

A resolute will to give up the rights he had enjoyed under the name of Margrave and to protect Northweden even if he bowed down to the nobles around him.

You don’t know how shaken the Verdi family will be after that.

He might be dragged out of his position as Marquis, saying that he was incompetent.

But people had to protect it.

“Gather all available soldiers and hold out as long as possible until support from the surrounding nobles arrives. I will lead.”

It was Deia who was trying to step out with such a determined attitude.

“Can not be done… !”

Darius, who seemed to have lost his mind, jumped up and shouted. There was a kind of madness in the veined eyes.

“The history of our Verdi family is contained here in Northwedon! Are you trying to sever the family roots!”

aww

Deia, biting her teeth, managed to swallow the words she almost uttered impulsively down her throat.

“Then what shall we do? You can’t just leave it alone.”

“Leave it alone.”

“… … what?”

It was shocking.

A shock more powerful than when she heard the sad news that Darius was injured in defeat hit her hard on the back of the head.

“You just have to be still. It’s enough to evade that they didn’t cross our mountain range.”

“Ji, are you kidding me?”

“They told me to crack down on the citizens of Northweden, and to compensate the plundering acts of the aliens in the future… … .”

“Shut up!”

Ankaljin Deia’s voice resonates strongly. Darius tried to rebuke his sister for saying something she shouldn’t have said to him, but Deia spoke faster.

“Abandoning people because of that history? In addition? You’re going to repeat Verdi’s disgrace once more?”

“Cover your words, Deia!”

“If you didn’t want to hear it, you shouldn’t have been brought in like a beaten dog! How many times have you said that! Don’t be vigilant, pack up your strength and go!”

“He was out of shape. You can’t stop it anyway.”

“Is it a little comfortable to comfort yourself like that? But my brother is not in that position. It’s a place where you have to take responsibility!”

The sharp words that came and went with a sigh.

The servants and the doctor in the room were at a loss as to what to do.

“done! I’ll go and block it! Request support from Count Tolkien and Count Herameus right away! Protect Northweden!”

And.

A man popped into Deia’s head.

another brother of his own.

“Call that goddamn second son over here too. Even if it’s a bug, since it’s Verdi, we should take responsibility together.”

The spearman he likes is also in Northweden, so he will work hard to protect it.

Even if it was thanks to his personal connections, he had been at the Robern Academy for three months as a professor.

I haven’t been able to lecture.

“I’ll be able to fire at least a fireball.”

After waiting for a while, the door burst open.

The indoor air changes rapidly.

long, downcast black hair.

A button-down coat and confidently wide shoulders.

Deius Verdi stepped inside without hesitation.

To the point where I wondered if that man had such a sense of intimidation in the first place.

He brought a cool yet ominous cold to the room that had been warmed up just by his appearance.

It was Deia who was frowning and trying to explain the situation.

“one hour.”

Deus was expressionless, so he raised his hand and declared.

“Give me an hour and I’ll fix everything.”

Like a demon who promises to grant wishes.
