I Became a Sick Nobleman

Chapter 68.2 - It's moving

“Sir Chen.”

“Yes, go ahead.”

“I’m a greedy person.”

“I am also greedy. The Lord and I seem to have a lot in common.”

With a smile, Bianne glanced at the window again.

It became noisy outside. Bianne’s eyes widened.

What would he think if an enemy came to the royal palace and the enemy aimed at himself and Bianne?

At least, that was what he expected Bianne to say.

‘You’d say you were betrayed.’

Ruel endured the creeping disgust and called out, “Aris”.

In an instant, sharp ice floated around Bianne’s neck.

Ruel laughed at Bianne’s expression of incomprehension.

“I don’t like being swayed. I was born invaluable.”

“Do you know what this means?”

“Don’t you think you should know what’s going on?”

“I made a proposal that we could coexist with each other.”

“I know, but why should I listen to you? Even if you make a suggestion, I’ll do it anyway. All you have to do is listen to me calmly.”

It was about time we needed an insider.

Isn’t Bianne the perfect person for this?

Ruel looked at Bianne and laughed.

“Isn’t it strange that the people you’ve been waiting for are not coming? There should have been people coming to help us build trust in each other.”

Sshaa.

The air in the room seemed to be getting colder.

“Oh, would you understand better if I say it’s Red Ash that is coming to attack this place, not the people who were coming to help?”

At Ruel’s words, Bianne’s smile vanished in an instant.

“Isn’t it honor that you want?”

Bianne’s eyebrows wiggled.

“Thanks to you, I can see that the honor of your family is going to the bottom. Not only will the name Chen be ruined, but your neck will be caught in the middle of the street and stoned to death.”

Ruel smiled an arrogant smile at Bianne’s look of disbelief.

“Ah, are my words a lie? Cassion.”

From Ruel’s shadow, Cassion appeared holding a man by the neck.

As soon as he saw the man, Bianne’s mouth gradually opened.

He was covered in blood, but his face was still recognizable.

“We have already secured testimony and evidence that Bianne Chen led the way in all this.”

At Cassion’s words, Ruel clasped his hands and rested them on his stomach.

“Isn’t it noisy today? Aren’t you curious why?”

“What, what do you want?”

Bianne began to stutter.

What Ruel held was his everything.

It was a mistake to think that he was above Ruel.

That boy was playing him from the start.

“No, listen to the reason first. I heard that several knights take turns being in charge of the royal family, but the knights in charge of this hall must be the Blue Knights.”

“I, I, I went without knowing the subject, forgive my rudeness, My Lord…”

“Doesn’t something come off? You don’t like the Red Ash and Ganien, so I thought you’d planned something, so I gave you a hint. Now, you know why it’s so loud?”

The disturbance was caused by the Blue Knights punishing the Red Ash.

They must have been caught after all the opponent is the Blue Knights.

In the royal family, he also permitted the enemy within the place where the banquet took place.

What would that mean?

All the nobles would turn their backs on him, of course, and his neck was hanging in front of him.

Bianne’s mouth is dry.

“I’ll do anything, anything! Please, please…”

Ruel laughed arrogantly and tapped on the table.

“Don’t make fun of me. Just answer what I ask.”

“Of course!”

When Ruel glanced at Aris, he cast a spell.

“Did you make an oath of mana with the Red Ash?”

“Yes, I did.”

“What kind of oath did you make?”

“It is a promise that I will not reveal the existence and the purpose of Red Ash to those who do not know it.”

As expected, it was not bound by the grand element of loyalty.

There was a loophole.

“Make Mana’s oath to speak only the truth in front of me.”

Betrayal was impossible because he had to tell the truth.

There was no reason to bind Bianne with loyalty.

Ruel beckoned Cassion to return, waiting for him to take Mana’s oath.

“It’s settled.”

When Aris’ words fell, Ruel asked, “Where did the information leak?”

“One of the servants of Leponia’s Third Prince swapped information as ordered by Red Ash.”

“Who?”

“A servant named Rinar.”

The corners of his lips twitched at the thought of the debt he was going to put on Banios.

Ruel controlled his emotions and asked, “Where is the hideout of the Red Ash?”

Bianne answered, trembling like a puppy soaked in the rain.

“I don’t know the location of the real hideout. All I know is a temporary one… It’s just a hideout. The location is under a storage warehouse in a town called ‘Trien’.”

It was a place that was never mentioned in the novel.

“Do you know anything about my illness?”

“I don’t know.”

“What about the black water? I don’t know the exact name, but you know it, right?”

“I can’t… I can’t tell you.”

Bianne’s inability to speak meant that black water was related to the purpose of the Red Ash.

“Now I’ll tell you what you have to do.”

Bianne bowed his head in silence.

“You will be my ears.”

Aris laughed with satisfaction at Ruel’s words.

“Report to me the information you can get from the Red Ash, the commands that come down.”

Bianne had no choice but to.

He couldn’t lose everything he’s accumulated so far just because of the Red Ash.

“… Yes, I understand.”

A voice that laid everything out came down on Bianne.

The Red Ash would not have demanded loyalty because he was from the aristocracy.

He was perfect to use.

“I’ll hand over my own communication device soon.”

Ruel laughed arrogantly and inhaled Breath.

Once you’ve achieved your goal, it’s time to leave your seat.

Ruel, holding a cane in his hand, looked at Bianne calmly.

“Sir Chen, if you move your mouth recklessly, you’ll have to see for yourself how your family gets ruined.”

“It’s a risk to life to make such useless remarks. Do it in moderation.”

Bianne remembered what Ganien had told him.

It was planned from the beginning.

From the beginning.

Ttak.

The sound of the cane faded away.

As soon as the door closed, Bianne laughed like a madman.

“Ha ha ha ha ha… ”

He didn’t know where, but information about Ruel was blocked.

Otherwise, isn’t it too different from the information he heard from the Red Ash?

Who called him a powerless lord?

Who said he was ill?

Who the hell!

Everything is wrong, everything is a lie.

‘Ganien, Ganien! Ganien Croft!’

He clenched his hands hard over and over again, citing a hateful name.

***

“Excuse me.”

Ganien strode out of the hall holding a wooden skewer that the royal servants were going to throw away.

‘Skewers are not weapons, so it’s just right, it won’t be a problem if the nobles complain later.’

Ganien grinned and blew an aura into the ring.

“The enemy is here. Kill half of them who make suspicious movements.”

-Got it!

Listening to the answer, Ganien opened the window.

And in an instant, he threw out a skewer.

Whoops!

The servant walking towards him was startled with the feeling that something struck him.

“Your acting is amazing.”

Ganien laughed at the attendant as he took out the skewers.

Drip.

He approached him with a bloody skewer.

When he saw a shining sword inside his arms, Ganien rushed in in an instant.

“I’ve memorized all the faces of the royal servants.”

The skewer pierced the man’s neck.

He looked at the man with cold eyes and said,

“There are two bodies in Hall Area 2-1, so remove them.”

-I’ll go right away.

‘It was in the hall. I just have to clean up around the lounge and go.’

Ganien wiped the blood off the skewer and walked down the hallway.

Drip. Drip.

***

As soon as Ruel came out, he was guided by Aris and entered the other lounge.

After confirming that the lounge was empty, he blew Mana into one of the three rings.

“That’s all right.”

He spoke in response to Aris’s words, “Ganien, you can take care of everything now.”

-It’s already been dealt with. The commotion also subsided.

At the sudden sound, Ruel put on an expressionless face. “… That wasn’t in the plan?”

He had in mind the possibility of failure, so he told him to keep some of them alive.

-Come to think of it, I’m very angry because I don’t want to deal with the aristocracy at the banquet, but I like the food made by the royal chef and the boisterous atmosphere. That played a part, but I honestly didn’t think you’d fail.

“You…”

-Look, I was right. Then, you can take it easy and come back.

Ganien cut off the communication at will.

Ruel fiddled with Leo’s tail in a surge of irritation.

‘He’s so excited.’

Aris smiled lightly and opened his mouth again.

“It’s still okay.”

Ruel immediately blew Mana into the ring he received from Banios.

“Your Highness.”

-Oh, Lord Setiria, didn’t you say you had a banquet today?

“That’s right.”

-It’s an honor to find me even though you’re busy.

“Well, I have one thing to tell you.”

-That’s not good news.

“Do you know a servant named Rinar?”

Instead of an answer, Ruel heard a deep sigh.

“It is said that the servant exchanged information related to the hideout.”

-I’m sorry. It’s my fault.

“You owe me, Your Highness. Then, keep watching the second prince.”

-I’ll keep watching, but I don’t see any movement.

While trying to cut off the communication, Ruel thought of the black water and opened his mouth.

“I will let you know, and I have forgotten one thing.”

-Go ahead.

“If you see someone bleeding black blood, don’t confront them and avoid them. Keep an eye out for it..”

-Black water? What’s that?

“We’re looking into it now. Anyway, be careful.”

-Okay, I hope that Lord Setiria will come back in good health.

After a proper greeting, Ruel cut off the communication.

He inhaled the Breath.

Now that he has achieved his primary goal, it’s time to move on to additional goals.

He had to take advantage of this two day banquet to pull some strings.

Especially, it would be better to get close to aristocrats who own merchants.

“… I’m hungry.”

—There was a lot of food over there. Come on, let’s go.

Ruel stroked Leo who was looking at him with his sparkling eyes.

What’s the point of having too much food?

My body is so delicate that I can’t eat carelessly.

“Do you want a snack?”

“No, thanks. Give me the medicine you got from Cassion.”

“Did the pain… happen?”

“I’m afraid I’ll be sick.”

It was a good excuse, but he couldn’t keep showing his pain at the banquet.

Ruel took the medicine Aris gave him and moved forward again.

And as soon as he opened the door, he smiled at the nobles who welcomed him as if they had been waiting for him.

‘Thankfully, they came and organized themselves for me.’
