Civil Servant in a Romance Fantasy

Chapter 241

241 – Son-in-law subjugation is the artisan – 1

Duke of Ulken. One of the five dukedoms of the Empire and a region located in the eastern part.

It is also the center of the military industry of the Empire, and is in charge of iron among the nicknames of iron-blooded workers. The blood originated from the iron-blooded workers of yesteryear squeezing the red intestine as if pounding meat.

‘Is it the Demon King?’

And when I stood in front of the majestic castle, I instinctively thought that. A territory specialized in the military industry, even a lord is a bloody war hero. No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t get rid of the feeling that it was the Demon Castle.

Thanks to that, I even thought that Marghetta was a princess kidnapped by the devil—but I didn’t say it out of my mouth because I was going to be really enraged if the Iron Blood Workers found out. I have that kind of eye too.

“I’m new to Ulken.”

While I was looking up at the duchy in a daze like that, Louise, who had suddenly come on a trip to Ulken, looked around and murmured. Irina, as if embarrassed by this unexpected trip, clung to Louise’s side and carefully looked around.

I feel sorry for those two. Because of the situation between me and Marghetta, I was sent to Ulken, which was not even in the middle of the day. Still, apart from embarrassment, it is fortunate that there is interest in his eyes.

“You’re more energetic than you think, right?”

“Ah, that, that’s…”

Louisé was unable to properly answer Marghetta’s question as she rushed in. Certainly, Ulken’s image is a bit strange.

To be honest, I can’t help it because of the Double Lariat, which is a territory specialized in the military supply industry. Perhaps the Ulken imagined by an outsider is a giant forge where molten iron flows in the river and the sound of hammers resonates 24 hours a day.

Of course, to the princess of the blacksmith, ‘I thought it was a place with nothing to see, but it’s better than I thought!’ No one can say That’s why Louis also reacted like that.

“Whoa, it’s okay to be honest. It’s true that Ulken’s image is stark and hard.”

Fortunately, Margeta is a person who excels in objectification, so she went over without incident.

“Still, there are many things that can only be seen in Ulken. Now that we’re here, let’s go sightseeing together.”

At those words, both Louis and Irina nodded their heads.

A tour of the duchy led by the princess herself. It will be a precious memory that cannot be experienced anywhere else.

“Okay, let’s go in first. Even for sightseeing, it’s first to find an accommodation, right?”

Marghetta smiled softly at the two of them and led us to the front door. It was the moment when a duchy like the Devil’s Castle quickly turned into an inn, but Marghetta deserved it.

And then, after looking at it happily, he quietly opened his mouth.

“Mar, I’ll go in later.”

“Yes?”

Marghetta blinked her eyes as she entered with light steps. Like what the hell is she talking about.

“Sorry. I have some work to do.”

At that, Margeta tilted her head even more incomprehensibly.

This is a natural reaction. What would you do in a place where you were suddenly dragged without a plan?

“…Then I can’t help it. When do you think you’ll be back?”

Nevertheless, Marghetta understood. Although the corners of her eyes went down as if she was a little disappointed, she still understood and accepted my words.

At that consideration, I knelt down with a small smile.

“When His Excellency forgives.”

It was seen that Marghetta, as well as Louise and Irina, were taken aback by the sudden eccentricity.

But I can’t help it. Because this is what I have to do

– Kneel in front of my castle or I will tear off your legs.

Swords of a Iron Blooded Ball whose original text is now obscure. I never really said that, but my head remembers Sang-Blooded’s warning like that.

So kneel down. To marry Marghetta. In order to gain the approval of the craftsman adult.

***

The largest gymnasium in the castle. My own place, where even the duke’s knights cannot approach without my permission. There, he trained from dawn to noon without a break. The spear yesterday, the sword yesterday, and the mace today.

The only activity I repeat every day since I handed over virtually all authority to my son. Even though I took my hands off work, I couldn’t give up on moving my body. Because if Varenti’s family head stopped training, it would be the same as dying.

‘It’s not like before.’

But the more I trained, the more I felt bitterness. No matter how hard you try, time cannot be defeated. Constant training only slows down the aging process, not prevents it.

But what can I do? At my age, this is good enough. And there are many heroes who will protect the empire after me, so there is nothing to worry about.

The same goes for Jeon Seung-gong, the Minister of Special Affairs, and that guy too—

“Damn it.”

His hand gripped the mace tightened as he remembered that goddamn face. He wanted to take a belated blow, but his handle had already been crushed and the mace’s head fell powerlessly to the floor.

It was a fairly usable item, but it was broken in vain. It’s also because of that damn guy.

‘The scandalous guy.’

No matter how much I think about it, I can’t forgive you. For Marla to be bewitched by another woman with a better wife than anyone else.

I’m not blaming her for having multiple wives. I also took several wives, so what’s the problem? For the nobility, marriage is an extension of politics, a form of socializing, and a display of ability.

But you only increase women without getting married? Without giving our Marr any place?

‘Dare.’

The strength went into my hands again. The handle, which had been horribly crushed, now turned to powder and was blown away by the wind.

If you had married Marr proudly and made her your first wife, at least if you had been engaged, she wouldn’t have cared too much. No matter how many wives she has, Mar’s authority will not change.

But isn’t it? In a situation where Ma Jong-gong expressed a crush on him, he and Maru could not form any relationship. This means that Ma Jong-gong could suddenly become his first wife.

‘I can’t do that.’

Since the Crown Princess’s birthday banquet, I have been constantly thinking about it. A rivalry between Mar and Marjong. How to move as a father and a duke in an unimaginable confrontation.

The conclusion was simple. As Marr’s father, as the Duke of Ulken, let’s not back down. No matter how difficult Ma Jong-gong is to defeat, Varenti will not back down. How could a duke be afraid of a child’s marriage?

So I called Marwa Nome. In order to establish a solid relationship.

‘After all, it’s a battle of speed.’

The one who moves fast leads the battlefield. If he argues that Prince Majong is cowardly, it is enough for him to return it with an answer asking if he should have done it first.

…Actually, it’s really questionable. So far, Prince Ma Jong has been amazingly quiet. Although some disturbing news has been heard from the system recently, there has been no news that an official relationship has been established between the two.

Of course, I stopped at the question. If the opponent does not move, it is the duty to move first.

“Father.”

I was determined to push forward even if there was a situation where I would collide with Ma Jong-gong, but I heard Richard’s voice from behind.

“Oops. Did you break it today?”

And when he saw the head of the mace on the floor, he smiled a little.

“Things made these days have no power.”

“You talk about old things as if they were strong? Even back then, I often remember them as being broken.”

I couldn’t refute it because it was right. In the past and now, quite a few weapons couldn’t last long in my hands.

At the very least, it was possible to use a selected luxury item or an item bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor without breaking it.

At my silence, Richard laughed for a moment, then spoke again.

“Mar is here. We have two guests.”

I hurriedly moved to the visit faster than expected. If Mareda has a guest, you have to step out and welcome them.

“Treat guests with respect. They were invited unexpectedly, so you should treat them accordingly.”

“Yes, Father.”

“By the way, it’s been a while since I saw Mar.”

At that, Richard’s mouth fell shut.

It’s strange. Usually, when talking about Mar, this guy tends to add a word or two.

“Hey, Father.”

After an awkward silence, Richard spoke again.

“Why is that?”

“In addition to the guests, the director of the inspection department also came.”

Of course. He was thinking of running to Jedo right away if Marman had gone and he hadn’t come.

And while he’s a goddamn bastard, he’s not headless. If I hadn’t responded to this call, I would have known how things would turn out.

“Of course I have to come. But why?”

“It is said that he is now on his knees in front of the front door.”

A feeling of satisfaction filled my chest. Yeah, he’s not headless.

I’ve been talking to him since long ago. I won’t give you a chance once you’ve kicked Mar. If you want to marry Marr, you’ll have to get down on your knees in front of my castle and beg her.

I was very offended when I ignored my words and appeared at the Crown Princess’s birthday banquet, but this time I got down on my knees properly.

‘Damn it.’

I don’t have a specific hobby of putting someone on their knees. Why would you do such a troublesome thing?

Still, he must kneel.

“Huhhhhh! Daddyhhh!”

“M-Mar. Calm down.”

“Huh, heuh, what should I do… That person, Ram, that person, is so good…” B＞

The day Marga was dumped by that guy, she cried very sadly.

So he has to pay the price. He must admit her wrongdoing for making my daughter cry and kneel before Varenti. At that level, Mar’s tears won’t be in vain.

“Don’t worry. It’s strong, so you can leave it alone for three days.”

Of course, I have no intention of leaving it for three days. If he admits his fault, there is nothing he cannot forgive. And if he forgives him, he is also Varenti’s son-in-law, a member of Varenti.

So it’s okay if I tell you to go right now and wake up—

“…They said they knelt down next to Mardo.”

“…….”

His hair went white at those words.

I hurriedly ran to the front door. If you kneel there with Mardo, it means nothing.

It was to cover up Mar’s embarrassing memories. Since Marr cried, he meant to repay him with a knee. But if Mar also kneels together, isn’t Mar only losing money?

“Ha.”

And when he arrived at the front gate, the sight that came into his eyes was devastating.

Two young ladies staring at the main gate from a distance, restlessly. My daughters, who had already heard the news, ran before me.

“Your Excellency.”

A goddamn bastard who lowers his head as soon as he sees me.

“Father…”

Marr looked up at me for the last time with her teary eyes.

If you look closely, they are holding each other’s hands. It’s very spectacle.

“…Come in.”

I didn’t have the confidence to keep looking at him, so I briefly opened my mouth and turned around.

Did that bastard trick Marr by any chance? Do you know that it will end soon if we kneel together?

‘Damn it.’
