A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood

Chapter 113 – The Father Who Knows Everything

Alberto’s father, ‘Count Meidern’ Dittorio, is his lord, Antonio, the emperor of the Breggern Empire. Was looking at

“So, you mean, my son came to visit you himself and told his family not to let his family know he was alive for a while?”

“Yes.”

“Really?”

“Hey dude. Trust me when people say it, please.”

At the frustrated attitude his old friend showed towards him, Antonio felt frustrated and was about to go crazy.

It was because his friend did not send the slightest trust even though he was conveying only the facts without any distortion.

“No, why would I lie to you? Wouldn’t I have wanted to let you know that your son was alive?”

An absurd situation was taking place in which the emperor who ruled the empire complained to the count.

If anyone saw this, he was sure that he was looking at something false.

“Then, let’s hear the reason. Why did you do that?”

Dittorio asked Antonio why his son had asked him not to tell him that he was alive.

I didn’t know anything else, but I thought it was necessary to know that much.

“As you know, in this country a person who is declared missing is effectively considered dead. Aren’t you?”

“Yes.”

In the Bregern Empire, a person who goes missing for some reason is considered dead in effect.

“Besides, Alberto, he’s gone missing in the remote wilderness.”

On rare occasions, there may be people who went missing and returned, but most of them never came back.

Especially, if a person goes missing in a very remote place such as an unexplored area, they are treated as dead without asking or questioning.

“Disappearance means death, and there are not a few cases that support this. And the dead rarely come back alive.”

“You mean that?”

“Since the dead never came back to life, do you think there will be administrative procedures related to this?”

There has never been a case of a dead person coming back alive.

So, of course, among all the administrative procedures in the Bregern Empire, there was no procedure to restore the status of a person who had been treated as dead.

You may ask whether it would be okay to simply cancel the death report, but withdrawing the death report was not that simple.

“You have to find all the relevant documents and edit them one by one, but that’s easier said than done.”

“Grunt.”

At Antonio’s words, Dittorio groaned.

Administrative procedures weren’t just about changing a single number with some kind of magic.

If I wanted to cancel Alberto’s death, I would have to find all the documents related to Alberto’s death and change all the figures.

However, the documents were not only in Count Maydern’s estate, but also in the archives of Tintaluna, the capital city, so all of those documents had to be found and corrected.

Even Alberto’s death happened 3 years ago, so finding and replacing all the documents from 3 years ago was virtually impossible.

“So, does Alberto have to stay dead forever?”

“There is only one way.”

Dittorio looked at his friend with the feeling of grabbing at straws and asked if there was any way, and Antonio said there was only one way.

“What is that?”

“Just say you received my secret orders.”

“The secret… command?”

Dittorio wondered what the secret orders Antonio had been talking about were.

“This is literally my order in secret. If this is done, Alberto will be able to regain his original identity. If he had to remain dead by secret orders from the emperor, he could ignore any administrative or legal process and restore Alberto’s identity.”

“Is that so?”

“However, it’s not like you can blindly restore your identity. Because I also need reasonable evidence to show to the ministers.”

At Antonio’s words, Ditto Rio nodded his head.

“Then, what is your secret order to your son?”

“Recently, our informants infiltrated the Elpario Empire reported signs of treason within the Empire.”

“Treason?”

When the word treason came out of Antonio’s mouth, Dittorio expressed his doubts.

“Yes. Treason. The imperial family of El Pario’s empire looks strong on the outside, but it’s not like that on the inside. Children are fighting each other over the succession to the throne, and nobles are gradually strengthening their power.”

“As the imperial power weakened, naturally the power of the nobles began to grow stronger, and as a result, a group of people plotting rebellion appeared?”

“That’s how it is.”

Antonio sighed and said.

“Rebellion is contagious, so if a rebellion succeeds in one country, there will be people who plot it in other countries as well. And, in any country, traitors always have a network of contacts to share information with each other.”

“So, did you send Alberto there?”

“Yes. If you show off your skills at Noblesse Academy, there will definitely be people who come in contact with you. Whether emperor, noble, or aspiring rebel. The details of the secret order given to your son are to contact them and obtain information to find out their actual size and contact lines connected to the Bregern Empire.”

Dittorio realized how important the mission given to his son was through Antonio’s explanation.

“By the way, did you entrust such an important task to my son?”

“They handle mana, aura, and even holy power?”

“Up to divine power?”

Dittorio found out three years ago that his son was a being who could handle mana and aura.

In addition, he was quite surprised by Antonio’s words that he now handles divine power.

It was because it was hard to believe that mana, aura, and holy power—three contradictory powers—were handled at the same time.

His own teacher and Antonio’s teacher, Tarun, could only handle Auras, but could not handle other powers.

“With that much, no matter how tough the enemy appears, it will be possible to take care of myself?”

Dittorio agreed with Antonio’s words.

Alberto can handle all three powers: mana, aura, and holy power, and even has the swordsmanship skill of being a sword master, so rather than running away from the opponent, he had to worry about whether the opponent would not run away first.

“No, is it too much to take care of one more person?”

“One person?”

Dittorio found something ambiguous in Antonio’s words.

Obviously, while talking about being able to take care of one’s own body, one more person was mentioned.

“Ah, what is it? Didn’t you know?”

“What do you mean?”

“Your son, he seems to prefer being older.”

“What?”

At Antonio’s words, Ditto Rio frowned and asked again.

No, how could he know his son’s taste in women?

“That, who was it? Is it Nina Esselton? Doesn’t your son have an exclusive lady-in-waiting? Now he has been given the title of baron.”

When the name Nina came out of Antonio’s mouth, Dittorio felt as if he had been hit in the head with a hammer.

No, the guy didn’t seem interested in the woman, but she already had an owner.

And the target was a maid who followed him?

“That child and my son are like that?”

“…… For a moment. Did you really not know?”

Antonio was really taken aback by Dittorio’s reaction.

No, do you mean that you don’t know about your son’s relationship after becoming a father?

But when I thought about it again, it must have been that way.

If Alberto hadn’t said anything in the first place, wouldn’t it be obvious that he didn’t know?

“I really didn’t know.”

“Oops, then I said the wrong thing.”

Antonio was terrified that he might have said something wrong.

“What… As long as Alberto is good, I don’t care. In the first place, that guy caused a lot of misunderstandings, so it would have been difficult for him to connect with an ordinary woman.”

“Even though I am a commoner?”

“What does that matter? As long as you both like each other, that’s enough.”

“Clack. That’s right. Well, it doesn’t matter since you’re a noble now, right?”

“Yes. Now a nobleman I’ll have to prepare for the wedding when my son comes back.”

Dittorio let out a sigh of relief.

Because of the misunderstanding he had been receiving since childhood, he thought that he would not give his heart to a woman, but the fact that his son had a lover made him feel much better.

“Wait a minute, but where is Nina now?”

“Baron Esselton? You went to Noblesse Academy as an exchange professor.”

From noble mtl dot com.

“And my son is now at Noblesse Academy.”

“… ….”

Two people who love each other met again after three years.

Alberto was at an age where he would soon become an adult, and Nina was about to turn 30 after becoming an adult.

And there was no one to interfere between the two of them.

“Hmm. Will I see my grandchildren soon?”

“Shut up, you bastard.”

It was Dittorio who responded with a nutshell to the consolation of Antonio.
