A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood

Episode 16 – Jealousy and Inferiority

Zonbidan Not only in the Bregern Empire, but also in other countries, there is a type of person called ‘sh*t’.

Those who are called madmen had one characteristic in common.

It was harsh language and behavior that damaged the dignity of the nobility.

Unlike us, even commoners who haven’t learned properly rarely speak harsh words.

If you have to give an example of a case where harsh words are exchanged, it would be a case where each person’s interests are involved.

However, these idiots did not care about such things and acted.

If you have a person or thing you like, you have to take it, even with force.

If someone insults you, you must turn that person into a half-asshole to be satisfied and return.

And above all, the way he treats those who are easier than his family without hesitation raises eyebrows from those around him.

In other words, just by being in the same space, it was an existence that lowered the dignity of the place by several steps.

This person who is now raising his finger in front of me and pointing at me is also a being that can be called a so-called ‘idiot’.

“Accept the duel! I, Damiron Allens Bedoran, challenge you to a duel.”

Well, it’s funny how you challenge me to a duel, saying that you’re a noble and your honor has been lost.

“Good.”

I accepted his challenge to a duel.

Honor? Insult?

Is there any honor to be lost to those who have lived as fools?

You should know that if you insult others, you will also be insulted. Do you not know such a basic thing?

“Quickly say your name! Well, it must be a family or a commoner who is stuck somewhere in the province and has nothing to see. hahahahaha!”

Mmm, well.

My father is a sword master.

Your father, Duke Bedoran, also uses honorifics for my father.

Well, it’s me, I wanted to see that guy’s face distorted, so I said the name of the family.

“Meidern.”

“What? May, what?”

“This is the Maydern family. My family name.”

I looked at the foolish child and smiled.

“What? Maydern? Is that a family stuck in a corner again?”

A foolish bastard who hears the name of my family and demeans it while eating.

“Princess Damiron. The Maidern family…….”

“Oh, noisy. There is no family in this country that I do not know! They’re a family I don’t know, so they must be a new aristocratic family, or they’re nothing to look at.”

As soon as the guy next to him heard the name of my family, he frowned and tried to say something to the idiot, but was stopped.

“Hey, boss?”

“Wait. Just by looking at it, he’s a good-looking guy. I’m sure he’s trying to seduce a young lady from a good family and try to sell it.”

Ha, I just heard the sound of empty laughter.

Huh, that’s really annoying.

Even if it weren’t for me having to hide my skills, I could distort such an idiot just by showing her aura blade.

“Since I accepted the duel, it would be natural for me to say my name. My name is Alberto Salihar Maydern. Count Dittorio Harun Meidern, the sword master of the Empire, is my father.”

“Cow, Sword Master?”

I told him his first and last name, then his father’s name and who he was, and the wretch’s face turned earthy.

Especially when he found out that my father was a sword master, his face contorted as if he were literally looking at an abstract painting.

Put your face on, dude. It’s an ugly face, but it looks even more ugly.

“Captain. I was going to tell you, but the head of the Maidern family is a sword master who can stand alone with His Majesty the Emperor.”

“… ….”

At the words of a person who seemed to be a subordinate attached to the madman, the madman’s face began to deteriorate.

Why are you doing that?

“Your complexion is not looking good. Do you have any problems?”

“Profit, Profit! This bastard! How dare you tease me! Let’s see! After class, come to the gymnasium! I will trample on you!”

The mad man said that and sat down.

I wondered why, but it was because it was time for the professor to come in.

I passed the idiot in his seat and headed towards the middle of the classroom where Ruel and the others were.

“What, are you okay?”

“Looks like they got into a fight.”

“Ah, it’s okay. He said that he had lost his honor and asked for a duel.”

“A duel?”

Ruel and his friends tilted their heads as if they didn’t understand when the word duel came out of my mouth.

“Princess Damiron of the Duke of Bedoran quarreled and challenged me to a duel in anger. So I accepted it. Really, it was noisy.”

The reason I quickly accepted the duel was because I thought that the rascal’s voice would disturb the cadets preparing for the lecture.

Because it is not a space for individuals to use alone, but a space for everyone to share, so consideration for the other person is necessary.

In particular, shouting loudly because you are angry is just an act that lowers your dignity.

“Are you okay? Having a fight with Damiron…….”

“Umm, I heard rumors that Demiron’s usual demeanor and behavior are not good. ….”

“Are the rumors about Prince Damiron not good in the social world?”

“Not good. Very.”

To the extent that there are bad rumors even in the social world.

So, are you saying that guy is a real jerk?

“So, remember what I said a few days ago? That the third princess is entering the academy.”

“I remember.”

Did the princess say that she was a ‘crazy educator’?

Oh no way?

“Yes. Seeing the reaction, I don’t think I know.”

“At that time, the person whose head was stamped on the high heels of the three princesses was Damiron’s cousin.”

Oh my gosh, he was Damiron’s cousin?

“To be exact, it was a collateral branch of the Bedoran family.”

“This is a strange thing.”

Duke Bedoran is a truly aristocratic aristocrat, but why are there one or two idiots in the people below him?

“The reason why the rumors about Damiron are worse is that he is a very revealing girl.”

“A woman… You mean?”

“Yes. They said he was flirting with a young lady with a fiance. Although there is a part that there is no way to do it because that guy’s family is the duke’s family, the Bedoran family.”

Ugh, after hearing the story, he was a real madman among madmen.

Ah, of course, I was misunderstood as an idiot because of these eyes, and I was misunderstood as a rude person who flirted with women.

Perhaps, the same thing could happen here, so I’ll have to brace myself.

“Okay then, I think we are all set, so let’s start the lecture.”

While we were talking, the professor came in and the lecture was about to begin.

For now, let’s focus on the lecture.

Breaking out that idiot was something I had to do later.

Right now, the lecture comes first.

–

Damiron Alend Bedoran, the second son of the Duke Bedoran family, was a man with blonde hair and thick eyebrows, the genetic characteristics of the Duke Bedoran family.

He had a brother whom he was close with.

His name is Alain Higma Bedoran.

He was a collateral descendant of the Vedoran family and a man whose head was stamped on the high heels of the third princess.

In fact, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it was Alain who created the current Damiron.

Alain was from a collateral line, and Damiron was from a bastard.

To be precise, Damiron’s mother was a commoner.

His mother was the daughter of a merchant who worked for the Bedoran family.

She fell in love with her, and the Duke of Vedoran accepted her as her second wife, and the son she gave birth to was Demiron.

Duke Vedoran loved Demiron and his mother very much.

That’s also the case, because the marriage was not due to the arranged marriage of the family, but out of true love.

However, after hanging out with Alain, Damiron began to go skewed.

It was because of the inheritance law of the Bregern Empire.

According to the Inheritance Law of the Bregern Empire, the right to inherit the family was only applicable when both the father and mother were nobles.

In other words, no matter how hard Damiron tried, he could become a vassal of the family and inherit some of the family’s property, but he could not become the head of the household.

The only way he could become the family head was if all his siblings died.

However, all of his brothers, born of arranged marriages, were more talented than Damiron.

Demiron wasn’t without skills either.

Inheriting some of his father’s talent, he was good at swordsmanship.

He was the one who became a sword user at the age of ten, but his brothers became Aura users at the same age.

If Damiron were a commoner, he had enough talent to become a regular knight.

However, his brothers were already way ahead of him.

In other words, no matter how hard Damiron tried, he was pushed back from talent and had no choice but to be placed at the bottom of the competition for the position of head of household.

He was the one who became an Auror user at the age of 15 because he was a bit selfless, but some of his brothers reached the top level of Auror users.

He did not mean that he did not make an effort either.

Although he worked hard every day, he couldn’t beat his brothers because of the difference in his talents.

Demi Ron was distorted by the fact that his efforts were not recognized, and he met Alain and started to walk the path of madness in earnest.

Sitting in the classroom, Demi Ron was thinking about the man she had just spoken to.

He said ‘Alberto. He’s a guy I don’t like.’

When Demi Ron first saw Alberto, he didn’t like him.

The first time he saw Alberto was after the entrance exam.

Alberto didn’t know it, but when he entered, many girls from noble families focused their attention on Alberto’s face.

Despite the penalty of narrowing her eyes, many young ladies were interested in her perfect appearance.

Some young ladies even secretly said this when they learned that he was from the Maidern family.

“If it’s the Maidern family, isn’t it the family where the Sword Master is the head?”

“As far as I know, I heard that the Maydern family’s eldest son has no fiancée yet.”

“Hmm, he has a nice face, and he seems to speak politely… ….”

From the moment Alberto appeared, Demiron was literally a cold meal.

Demiron was born as a bastard with a commoner mother, but the status of the Vedoran family was great.

Just being connected with the Bedoran family would provide a stepping stone to advance into the central political world.

The reason was that the family leading the political world of the Bregern Empire was the Bedoran family.

However, Alberto’s appearance had a ripple effect enough to make even that forgotten.

A small spark ignited in a corner of Damiron’s heart when he learned that Alberto had taken all the attention he should have been giving him.

And that ember ignited a fire in his heart, which eventually led to today.

In just a few days, his jealousy, which turned a small ember into a roaring pyre, paralyzed Demiron’s reason.

So, in a fit of anger, he challenged Alberto to a duel.

Moreover, even though Alberto also insulted himself, Demiron was more at a disadvantage when it comes to right and wrong because he first quarreled with Alberto.

In particular, Ruel, Jerome, Karl, and Jeran, who seemed to be close friends with Alberto, were the offspring of families with quite a reputation in the aristocratic social circles.

Demi Ron tried to make friends with them and seize the opportunity to reach them, but he seldom seized the opportunity.

From the standpoint of Damiron, who tried to grow his position within the family by becoming close to them, Alberto’s appearance was like a lightning strike.

‘A child like a dog. I will definitely smash it.’

Demiron was staring at the back of Alberto’s head throughout the lecture.

I wanted to defeat him by all means, and return the fame and attention directed to him to myself.

After the lecture, Demiron and Alberto stood facing each other in the gym outside the classroom.
