A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood

Episode 30 – Despair, Sweet Temptation

Lordren disappeared from the banquet hall and disappeared into a corner where no one came.

“Damn, damn, damn! Where did you get twisted?”

Rod Ren was furious that her own grand plan had failed.

She was sure, her own plan would have been perfect.

It was a plan to disgrace Alberto by accusing him of being an unscrupulous man who played with her woman’s heart.

She

She thought that because she was righteous, her own actions for her justice would never fail.

However, there was a fatal flaw in his plan: his plan was improvised.

Even plans that have undergone thorough preliminary research often fail due to unexpected variables.

Moreover, it was almost unreasonable for Rodren, who was just an ordinary person, to improvise a plan that he made on the spot.

“No, I didn’t do anything wrong. My plan was perfect. My plan was perfect!”

However, spilled water cannot be picked up again.

Even if he went back to the banquet hall, the cadets there would bite him to pieces.

Showing one’s weakness in a crowded place was no different than asking oneself to be killed.

And, Rodren has already exposed his greatest weakness.

That’s right, they tried to frame a person and forcefully bury them.

Especially, for nobles who value honor and dignity, it was absolutely forbidden to slander others with unfounded rumors in a public setting.

It was an unwritten rule that if it was revealed that the other person had been put down by slander, that person would no longer appear in the social world.

By violating this and appearing in the social world, it meant that he was dishonorable and shameless.

“Damn it, I didn’t do anything wrong. Everyone is obsessed with his appearance and can’t recognize the truth.”

Rodren was trying to protect his self-esteem by forcibly denying reality in a place where no one came.

[Ah, I haven’t felt this sweetness in a long time.]

And the negative emotions created by the denial of reality can be said to be a very sweet delicacy to someone.

“Who, who are you!”

Rodren got up from his seat and looked around, quite puzzled by the noises he heard around him.

However, there was no object or existence that could make a voice anywhere.

[Me? I am the one who can listen to what you want.]

And then, again, the voice came from behind Rodren.

It was a low, sullen voice, but the suggestion it made to Lordren was so sweet.

“I… want… everything?”

[Yes! I can listen to anything you want!]

A sullen voice spoke again at Rodren’s question.

The voice spoke as if it were trying to convince Rodren.

“My, how can I trust you? Aren’t you trying to steal my body and use it as you please?”

Rod Ren was wary of her sullen voice suddenly approaching him.

Still, he seemed to be wary of suspicious people in his own way, saying that he was a nobleman and had learned a little.

However, the sullen voice noticed that Lordren wasn’t completely on his guard.

How can I trust you? In other words, I want you to show me proof that I can trust you.

[It’s really good. Aren’t you sad that the world didn’t acknowledge you?]

“That, how?”

Lord Ren looked startled at the words in her sullen voice.

The gloomy voice aimed precisely at Lordren’s heart, who thought that the world did not recognize him as a righteous man.

[Okay then, I’ll show you the evidence. How strong do you have to be to be able to defeat that Alberto?]

“Cow, Sword Expert Master. You should be at the level of a sword expert master!”

In her head, Lord Ren called the level of Sword Expert Master, one level lower than the strongest level she knew.

In the first place, he didn’t believe that Alberto was an Intermediate Sword Expert, but just in case he didn’t know, he was talking about the power of a Sword Expert Master.

[Ha ha ha ha. If it’s just that much power, I can hand it over to you without any cost.]

“Are you sure?”

[Yes. What will you do? Will you accept the power I give you?]

Rodren was silent for a moment at the sullen voice’s suggestion.

And he said in a confident voice that he must have made a decision.

“I… I will accept the power you gave me.”

[This is a wise choice. Now, swallow this.]

As Rodren accepted the grim voice’s offer, a shining crystal appeared in front of him.

Lord Ren held out his hand, and a glowing crystal flew towards him and landed in the palm of his hand.

“This is…… ?”

[Swallow this. Then the power you wanted will be given to you.]

Rod Ren gulped at the crystal in his hand.

Can I really eat this?

Does eating this really give you strength?

“Really… Does eating this give you strength?”

[Yes. Eat it, gain strength, and take revenge! Get revenge on those who ignored you and bullied you! If you trample on them, won’t the people you like look at you again?]

“Yes. When I get stronger, people will look at me again.”

Rodren imagined.

She sees herself as strong, trampling on those who despise her, carrying her beautiful noble daughters on her arms.

Then, Lord Ren swallowed her crystal in her mouth.

Then the crystals in her mouth melted and turned into water and passed down his gullet.

Immediately after swallowing her crystal, Lord Ren felt her body grow lighter, and something wriggling power settled within her.

“This is… strength?”

[Yes. It is the power you wanted, the power I spoke of.]

“Thank you. Thank you so much.”

Rodren had a way to use this power he had just acquired.

To be precise, she said that she could use the power obtained by swallowing the crystal naturally, as if it were her own ability.

Gaining strength, Rodren looked around, confirmed that no one was there, and left.

[Puhehehehe. Stupid guy Do you really think I handed over my power for nothing?]

Rodren disappeared, and a black hooded figure emerged from the air with a sullen voice.

[The reputation of the Royal Academy is a thing of the past now. Well, the more idiots like that, the faster ‘him’ will be resurrected, so that’s a good thing.]

Who is this that the gloomy voice speaks of?

What else does it mean to speed up His resurrection?

[Alas, great source of evil. When this world falls into chaos and the heroes lose their light, please come down to this land and let evil prevail in the world once again.]

The words that came out of the mouth of the being who fell on his knees and raised his hands toward the sky were the words of a great source of evil.

The Great Source of Evil.

That is what the world calls an “Evil god,” And it was also the term used by followers of the evil god to refer to the evil god.

[Everything will go according to your will. The world will soon face catastrophe because of you. Once again, may this land be full of evil.]

The gloomy voice that once again praised the evil god disappeared on the spot.

In the place where Rodren and the gloomy voice disappeared, only the cries of insects were filled.

–

Guy Rodren ran outside, and the banquet resumed.

“Rodren, why are you doing that all of a sudden?”

“Well? I don’t know either.”

Ruel came up to me and asked me about Prince Lordren’s actions, but all I could say was that I didn’t know.

It’s just that Prince Lordren liked Lady Haniel, and he must have seen her sad for some reason.

And, Prince Lord Ren, who thought that the woman he liked had hurt her, must have thought that I had made her sad.

Well, I don’t need to explain what happened after that, but you’ll understand.

“Guy Rodren, it looks like he has a crush on Lady Haniel. Well, even though that unrequited love won’t continue anymore.”

“Is that so?”

Hmm, I guess it was true that I really had a crush on you.

I feel sorry for you. That one-sided love won’t come true anymore.

“You openly mentioned your name and framed someone in front of others. If you accepted that, you would be called crazy?”

“That Rodren always had a bit of a strange feeling to him. We apologize for that.”

Some nobles who were friends with Lord Ren came up to me and apologized.

There’s no need to do that, so why apologize?

I said that there was no need to apologize to them because I thought that an apology was made by the person concerned, not by the people around them.

“Huh. You don’t even have to apologize. I’ll get an apology from Prince Lordren himself later. So, please do not feel sorry for me and enjoy the banquet.”

“Umm, then it can’t be helped.”

At my words, Rodren and her acquaintances greeted each other lightly and left to enjoy the banquet again.

“Brother. Are you all right?”

As people backed away, Nina came up to me.

“Nina.”

“Yes, boy.”

“Let’s go enjoy the banquet too.”

I hurriedly answered Nina’s worried question by saying, “Let’s go to the banquet.”

“Yes… young master.”

As if she understood my intentions, Nina followed me without a word.

Like that, Nina and I were finally able to enjoy the freshman welcome banquet.
