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

53 – Infiltration (1)

Two days later.

Kwagang! The Quagga River!

From noble mtl dot com

Deep in the mountains.

In the valley where even wild beasts, apart from humans, shunned, thunder and lightning could be heard over and over again.

Looking at the sky, I couldn’t see a single cloud, so it wasn’t a sound made by nature.

This sound was created by Eugene in the valley.

“aaa!”

Kwagagagagagang!

Yujin, who took off her top, let out a shock with a spirited spirit. The lightning shot like light hits the stone wall.

Eugene doesn’t even look at it and shoots the electric shock somewhere else.

If someone saw this scene, they would misunderstand that they were practicing martial arts, not magic.

There was an ignorant corner of the current training to that extent.

Because I was just shooting brain-attribute magic into a valley with no living beings.

‘I didn’t want to do this either!’

But there was nothing I could do.

There were less than four days left to break through the wall of training. There was no time to think about face or safety.

I knew that the current training was very dangerous. It was because he was taking minimal breaks through meditation, constantly extracting the mana from his body and shooting it with magic.

If you accidentally use too much mana or if the operation is messed up, the mana runaway will happen, and you could lose all your mana and become a crippled person.

If a wizard with deep knowledge of magic saw this scene, it was clear that he would shout ‘Stop you madman!’ And try to break his head with a staff.

This training was only possible because Eugene had a higher ability to use magical power than anyone else in the world and had a stronger mind than anyone else in the world.

“aaa!”

Kwagagagagagang!

Mad with himself, mad with his lightning, he continued his training.

Forgetting erosion, forgetting even the passage of time.

Three more days passed like that.

‘It’s already time like this.’

Dallas, who seemed three years older in a week, was sitting alone at his desk in his office, looking at his calendar.

‘Tomorrow, that day will come.’

The circle mark on the calendar can’t be this lamentable. Tomorrow was the day Viscount Hobart promised Erica her marriage proposal.

At lunchtime tomorrow, Viscount Hobart will come to the house to dine, and put Erica her wedding ring.

If it goes according to Viscount Hobart’s plan, that is.

‘I won’t let you do that.’

Dallas asked for help from all over the world to get money for the upcoming payday, but he couldn’t get any help.

It means that even if Erica is sacrificed to keep the family alive, the situation of the family will not improve.

‘Erika is the only one who will be sacrificed.’

I couldn’t sacrifice my daughter for such a pointless thing.

In that case, it was better to run away at night. The late night escape was the thing that had been put off until the end, but it was the reality that it became the best.

Since I am running away without paying my debts, I will have to live the rest of my life as a fugitive, but it was a hundred times better than going into a servant of the Viscount of Hobart and suffering all sorts of disgrace.

It was very sad to see the four characters in the name ‘Grace’, which had been in existence for hundreds of years, disappear from the world…….

‘Even my ancestors will understand.’

In the eyes of the ancestors, it would have been better for the innocent daughter to abandon the signboard of the family and run away, in case the innocent daughter would be taken to another family and subjected to all sorts of cruel things.

Even if it doesn’t catch the eyes of the ancestors…….

‘At least my father… ….’

I should have told you that you were right.

Smart smart.

At that moment, a knock was heard.

“Come in.”

Dallas stood up.

Philip opened the door and stood in front of Dallas. He opened his mouth heavily.

“Everything is ready. Lord.”

“Good job.”

“Are you really not going to reverse your order…… ?”

“Yes.”

“… ….”

Philip’s shoulders trembled slightly.

Dallas smiled pitifully and put a hand on his shoulder.

“Thank you for carrying out my last order so faithfully. I really met an inferior person who overflowed my means.”

“…… Don’t talk like that.”

The tip of Philip’s voice trembled slightly. A faint tear formed around his eyes.

‘It’s really over…….’

As the chamberlain of Baron Grace, working under orders from Dallas ended today.

This morning, he heard from Dallas about the night escape plan. He was also asked to make a suit for his escape at night.

That was no longer a command.

Because these were the words of a person who decided to abandon the name of the family head.

-Hospital, but I will follow your orders until the end.

However, Philip continued to obey the order. Rather, because he was the last person, he worked more faithfully.

‘He is the one who gave me everything… ….’

Decades ago, he was dying of starvation on the street like a beggar, and was saved by Dallas with help.

He gave a job as an attendant to a commoner who did not know anything, taught him how to read, and explained all sorts of things in detail.

As a body that has received such grace, it was my responsibility and responsibility to do my best to follow his orders as an attendant.

And.

‘This can’t be the end.’

Dallas told everyone.

-It is only me and my children who have inherited my blood. You who have worked for our family for a long time will be safe, so please leave the family and start a new life. If you follow me and my children, you could be in danger for helping the fugitive, so please leave before the sun rises tomorrow.

Everything was right. There was nothing wrong with it.

The family attendants, ladies-in-waiting, and soldiers nodded bitterly.

Except for Philip.

‘It’s okay to become a fugitive.’

He intended to run away with Dallas. Of course, if he ran away with him, the relationship couldn’t be the same as before.

Because nobles who became fugitives were mere criminals who could no longer be called nobles. Philip, too, could no longer be his subordinate.

However.

‘What if it’s not someone below you?’

All I had to do was help him as a close friend.

I wasn’t afraid to become a fugitive.

I couldn’t be of much help because I was too old, but at least since I was a man with limbs in good shape, I should be able to help.

He made up his mind to leave the family along with Dallas, Erica and Eugene.

‘By the way, when will Eugene come back?’

Eugene returned to the family about five days ago and left a message for Erica.

-I found a way to make things better for my family. I’ll be back until Viscount Hobart proposes to you. Certainly.

‘To find a way to make things better for the family… ….’

That was a very absurd statement. Before Erica could ask anything, she went away like a thunderbolt, and she couldn’t find out more…….

‘Anyway.’

It was not important what Eugene left for.

The important thing was when he returned to his family. If he doesn’t come back by this morning…….

“My lord.”

“Hmm?”

“When will Eugene come back?”

“…… I wonder about that too.”

Dallas hardened his face slightly and sighed.

“We should be leaving before dawn, but we should trust that he will be back by then.”

“What are you going to do if you don’t come back by then?”

“…… I don’t know.”

A bitter smile appeared on Dallas’ lips.

“You should know that once Eugene doesn’t come, he won’t leave. He said he’d come back before Viscount Hobart came, so he’ll have to believe it.”

“…… All right.”

Philip nodded his head slightly calmly.

Then the call came from Dallas.

“Philip.”

“Yes, my lord.”

“Will you really come with me?”

“Yes?”

You should have clearly conveyed your intention to be together, so why are you asking again?

Does he think he will be a stumbling block?

‘…… No way.’

Dallas’s eyes were full of worry. His mouth opened slowly.

“It’s hard for me to say such a thing, but aren’t you an attendant with great abilities? No matter where you go, there will be nothing short of working as an attendant and leading a decent life.”

“Isn’t that also what the head of the family gave you after all?”

Dallas gave a small sigh.

“How could that be what I gave you? It’s the result of your hard work all night…….”

“Even if you say that, my opinion will not change. You must give me a chance to repay the debt of my life. And… ….”

Philippe paused for a moment.

It was because I thought that the refutation that popped into my head was not something to say in such a heavy situation as now.

But for some reason, I couldn’t swallow the words. My mouth swelled wildly.

“…… Don’t you know how to take care of a horse?”

“…… What?”

“Who drives the wagon if not me? I have a lot of luggage to take on a night getaway…… There must be a coachman.”

“… ….”

Dallas’ eyes went round and he was at a loss for words.

It was the first time in my life that Philip had said such a thing.

“Heh, heh heh heh… …. Are you trying to say that you’re not even the head of the family anymore?”

“I apologize if I offended you.”

“…… No way.”

Dallas smiled softly before he knew it and put his hand on Phillip’s shoulder.

“I just want to thank you.”

“… ….”

At that, Philip couldn’t bear to answer and lowered his head. He would look ugly if he answered with his face shown.

He turned around and left the office, letting out a watery voice.

“I hope you knew… …. If you know…….”
