I Became the Male Lead who was Clinging onto the Female Leads

47 – This doesn’t sound like much(1)

“So, you mean Viscount Hobart is coming soon?”

“Yes.”

“The purpose is a story about delaying the repayment date, a story about making Erica her concubine. There are two of them.”

“That’s right.”

“But, since you can only talk about the repayment date if you have Erica as your concubine, are you saying that the repayment date is virtually meaningless?”

“…… That’s right.”

“… ….”

Yujin sighed.

Philip lowered his head slightly.

“I will go soon. Viscount Hobart hates the presence of commoners other than his ladies-in-waiting at the table of nobles.”

“Okay.”

“Sure.”

So Philip left the restaurant.

Eugene sat at her table with Dallas and Erica.

He had just asked Dallas who “He” Was while Erica was staring at her in dismay. She discovers that Erica has been targeted by a corrupt aristocrat who is infatuated with her s*xiness.

Erica, the person in charge of her, didn’t have a dark expression on her face…….

‘He must be holding back.’

Based on the memories in her head, Erica had a personality that cared for others first.

It’s okay if her self is sold to a vicious aristocrat and put in a bad way, so she shows an attitude that doesn’t matter.

“But are you really my brother?”

The way she opened her eyes like a rabbit and asked if she was her brother was just an effort to show her bright side.

“It’s because I really don’t believe it. How are you keeping your eyes open so normally?”

“… ….”

Isn’t it? Is he really curious?

Looking at the way he asked so persistently, he seemed genuinely curious.

It’s true that I’m trying to appear bright, but…….

“Because I am right.”

“Then tell me what your brother told me the night before he went to the Royal School. Then I will believe you.”

Eugene closed her eyes and recalled her memories.

Before entering the Royal School. What I said before admission…….

‘Eh.’

Why can’t I remember?

A bewildered Eugene lost her speech and Erica slammed her table to her feet.

“Look at that! You can’t even remember! Aren’t you my brother?”

“…… It can’t be like this?”

“Father! That person is not my brother!”

“…… What kind of habit did her aristocratic lady talk about?”

Keep your body straight.

“Huh.”

Erica seemed to have obeyed Dallas’ words and sat down in her place.

‘Why can’t I remember?’

Eugene frowned at the unknown phenomenon.

At that time, a strange sound came from the hallway.

“Oh, how are you doing this!”

“Oh, don’t you say you’re hungry! I’ll give up the formality!”

“…… He is here.”

Dallas’ face hardened visibly.

Quang!

At the same time, the door opened as if it would break, and a giant nobleman entered.

From noble mtl dot com

Jakov von Landon Hobart.

Commonly known as ‘Viscount Hobart’.

His appearance was indeed unusual.

His hair was thick with too much olive oil, and his face was glistening with dog oil, perhaps because he had lived well.

Most of all, the buttons on his clothes were tight as if they would burst at any moment, and the shape of his abdomen resembled a balloon that had been inflated until just before it burst.

‘Oh my God.’

I had heard that he had a lot of greed and was obsessed with female s*x, but I didn’t know that he was a person who advertised the two words ‘greed’ like that.

Kung. Thud.

The ground shook every time he walked.

“Ah, the way here was not easy. How slow the horses burst!”

I bought it with that expensive money!

The words, ‘If the horses are slow, lower your head and look at the fat on your belly,’ came to the point of coming up to the tip of your chin.

Dallas hardened his face as if he was no different, but then he smiled softly and got up.

“I should have gone out to meet you, but how did you come in such a hurry?”

“Oh, I was so hungry I couldn’t stand it! Understand! First of all, rice!”

“… ….”

He ignores Dallas and walks to the table.

My eyebrows are naturally furrowed at the open rudeness.

But Dallas just kept smiling.

Because the Viscount Hobart could not say anything even if he spat in his face.

Formality and courtesy were the highest priority for nobles, but they did not apply to nobles without power.

Viscount Hobart thump! He groaned and he sat down next to Erica.

It was so huge that his sweaty forearms almost touched Erica’s.

Viscount Hobart looked at Erica with a smile.

“Lady Erica, it’s been a while. How have you been?”

“Yes, Viscount Hobart.”

“Your beauty shines relentlessly even today. How beautiful it is.”

“You’re overrated.”

Erica covered her mouth with a soft laugh.

Seeing that pretty smile, Viscount Hobart’s lips caught on his ears.

‘I respect you.’

How could he laugh so hard at the face of Viscount Hobart, which is not easy to look at? Erica felt amazing again.

“Then let’s talk about it later, I want to fill my stomach first! Is it okay to eat the prepared meal?”

“Of course… ….”

Champ champ champ!

“… ….”

I didn’t even get the word that it was OK to eat, but Viscount Hobart started literally inhaling the food on the table.

‘This is why the food was over-prepared.’

It was questionable because a meal was prepared for almost ten people when one viscount visited, but seeing the Viscount Hobart eating, I understood.

In front of his eyes, the food was just a mirage. It was maintained for a short time and then disappeared…….

“f*ck!”

Viscount Hobart, who let out a burp that reverberated throughout the restaurant, stroked his stomach with satisfaction.

The other three couldn’t even open their spoons at that daunting meal. As I watched him eat, even my appetite disappeared.

“You ate the eggs!”

Viscount Hobart wiped his mouth with his handkerchief and smiled.

“I couldn’t tell if it was for a nobleman’s meal or for a commoner’s. Well, it tasted good.”

“…… I’m glad you got it right.”

“When will dessert be served? Dessert is the basis of a noble meal, isn’t it?”

“Wait a little, and her maid will serve you a fragrant tea.”

“No, sweet desserts are the basic requirement for dessert. Serving hot water, I lost my appetite!”

You have to disappear then!

I managed to feed 10 people by myself!

“It’s time to eat, I’d better have a constructive talk.”

The corners of Viscount Hobart’s mouth went up.

His eyes rolled to the side and were fixed on Erica. He licks her lips with his tongue.

“Do you remember the contents of the letter I sent you about ten days ago?”

“Of course I remember.”

“Then the conversation will be fast.”

Viscount Hobart stops talking and looks around.

It looks too frugal and shabby to be a restaurant for an aristocratic family.

“Tsk.”

Viscount Hobart clicked his tongue.

“I will tell you without hiding anything. Baron Grace, as you can see, is nothing more than a poor family inside and out. It hurts to talk about how the mansions of noble families look like.”

“Still, it is a family that has been in existence for hundreds of years. Please refrain from excessive words and actions…….”

“Self-restraint!”

Viscount Hobart cut off his words with a frown.

“Honestly, just because this family is about to perish, does it affect the lives of the people of the territory? All the taxes paid by the territories come as interest to our family, and even the profits from the taverns and stores don’t come to us.”

“…… Even so, the locals…….”

“Youngjimin are people who exist to pay taxes. All the taxes they pay are going to our Hobart viscounts, not to the Grace Barons, so what if they aren’t actually our territories?”

“…… Isn’t that a bit excessive?”

Dallas, blushing, raised a question.

The Viscount Hobart grinned, spat into his water cup, and shouted with a sneer on his face.

“Come in!”

Two escort knights waiting outside the restaurant came inside.

“What are you doing?”

“To show the difference in realistic power.”

The escort knights lined up on both sides of Viscount Hobart.

Overwhelming momentum emanated from the glittering armor, huge longsword, and upright posture.

Viscount Hobart grinned.

“Did you see it? This is power And an aristocrat without power is just a shoddy trifle. As I came in, I saw the level of the soldiers here, and to be honest…….”

“These soldiers are loyal men who have served our family for decades. Don’t insult me!”

“I am not insulting their loyalty. The level is a bit poor.”

“Viscount Hobart!”

“Keep your voice down. You can bring up the payment date.”

“… ….”

Dallas’ face turned red with shame. However, as Viscount Hobart said, there was no choice.

What he said wasn’t even realistically wrong. Nobility without power was not respected anywhere.

“Now that you clearly understand how different our positions are, let’s get to the main point.”

Viscount Hobart grinned.

“As I have said, the Grace Baron family is worthless. Things are not good.”

“… ….”

“If our family doesn’t delay the date of payment, we’re just an insignificant family that will soon go extinct. There is only one handsome thing in this ungainly family, do you know what it is?”

“… ….”

I know, but I couldn’t answer. Answering that would be like recognizing Erica as something of value.

“Why are my brains not working like this?”

It’s not that everyone doesn’t know so he doesn’t answer, but Viscount Hobart knocked on his chest and shouted.

“The only thing this poor family has is the daughter of Erica von Rubia! Because she is the best beauty in the area, the face that spread her fame is admirable just by looking at it! Her figure is truly amazing!”

Viscount Hobart’s sinister eyes turned to Erica’s body.

Even the corners of Erica’s mouth, which had been maintaining her smile, twitched slightly at her blatant insult.

‘This doesn’t seem right.’

Eugene quietly clicked her tongue.

‘Should I just turn everything over?’

Taking a look at the strength of the escort knights, although they were among the strongest, it seemed like there was nothing they couldn’t defeat.

‘Let’s watch a little longer.’

But I decided to be patient.

Smashing these bastards now did not improve the situation of the family.

“I have admired Lady Erica for a long time.”

Viscount Hobart looks at Erica and says.

Greed shines in his eyes.

“I will visit again in ‘a week’ and ask Lady Erica to marry me formally. At that time, there will be a wedding ring in my left hand and a document in my right hand that will delay the repayment date indefinitely. If Lady Erica accepts my love, I will give them both to Baron Grace. The more Erica pleases me, the more I will give.”

“… ….”

“This is all I want to say.”

When Viscount Hobart finished speaking, Dallas did not lift his head.

Because her daughter was humiliated in front of her eyes, a hot flame flared up in her heart.

He raised his head and showed a face full of anger, and he was able to touch Viscount Hobart’s planting.

‘I must not hasten the family’s order with my personal feelings!’

Even if it’s only a few days left!

Dallas bit his lip to the point that the blood gushed out, tempered his anger, and looked up.

“I understand everything. However, it is entirely Erica’s will to accept her engagement, so please be considerate even if you give a less positive response.”

“Ha ha ha. How could the young lady refuse?”

If you refuse, you will come under me as a servant.

Viscount Hobart stood up with a fishy smile on his face as if he were saying those words.

“I’ve said everything I wanted to say, so let’s go back now.”

“I will see you off.”

“Okay. You don’t seem to have the energy to see you off.”

Viscount Hobart ignored Dallas and took Eraka’s hand as he stood up with him.

“See you in a week. Lady Erica.”

“…… Take good care of yourself. Viscount Hobart.”

“Just looking at that smile melts my heart. hehehe.”

The Viscount Hobart passed her with her sincere smile, as if Erica liked her.

“Oh, you were there too.”

He approached Eugene.

“You didn’t say a word during the meal. Are you dumb?”

“No.”

“Or should I have said something? Anyway, he might be a brother-in-law, so let’s shake hands.”

Viscount Hobart shook hands.

Yujin held that chubby hand.

“See you next time. hehehe.”

Viscount Hobart walked past Eugene with a mocking smile.

Eugene looked at his back as he wiped his damp hands from a brief handshake.

‘How am I supposed to punish him?’

I think it will take a little, long thought.
