ALL NOVEL [Aiden] Double-armed scales (2)
This is an emergency.
I don’t know the exact circumstances, but it seems that Yenica Palerover went ‘significantly’ with Ed Roth-Taylor.
Lortel Keheln has no way of knowing to what extent it is, but it seems self-evident that it should not be left alone anyway.
If that’s the case, then it seems like something special has to be done… but that doesn’t mean there’s no special way to do it.
I’m not saying this, but Ed Roth-Taylor is a terrible worker.
He never puts off anything that falls in front of him, and he always handles it neatly. In addition, since he always designs his life independently, he never falls for the stalking or delusion of those around him.
If such an Ed Roth-Taylor had passed over to Yenica Palerover, what kind of means did he use?
Lortel pressed her brow to the forehead and pondered, then sharply opened her eyes to strengthen her will.
At the end of the vacation, Ed leaves for Aken Island to teach the students. Until then, if you’re looking to increase the number of wins, now is the right time.
And anyway, Ed’s help was desperately needed.
“Slogue Keldrux?”
Ed Roth-Taylor and Yenica Palerover are returning from a long journey, and a distinguished guest named Lortel is also visiting.
A sumptuous dinner was prepared at Tanya’s order. Along the sides of the sumptuous dinner table, the Roth Taylor family vassals and the business associates who followed Lortel were eating high-quality food.
to Ed’s side in the meantime and talked seriously.
“Yes. I am the current owner of the Elte Company, who has served as a servant of our father, the Golden King, Elte Keheln, for more than 20 years.”
“If you’re going to get to the boardroom soon, you’ll have to tell him to get ready to come down.”
“Yes, that’s right. But this old man is more ambitious than I thought. The original contract was for me to get my seat back, but if you look at it roughly, it doesn’t matter that you don’t want to fulfill the contract.”
And Lortel speaks lightly, as if nothing happened.
“You will betray me soon.”
In the world of Sangdo where interests are complicated, betrayal and being betrayed are as natural as breathing.
Lortell’s heart is not even hurt as a fingernail as one of his henchmen who has been working with him for decades hits him in the back.
“When I go up to the board of directors, I almost give up my hands in practice. It’s physically impossible. So in the practical part, I tried to finish all the work I had to deal with, but I couldn’t stand the bird and it seems I got another pocket.”
“I told you when Dune betrayed me. If an employee I’ve known for decades sticks a knife behind his back, I can’t eat it if he’s upset and sad.”
A gorgeous dress and neatly combed reddish-brown hair. It’s a splendid and shiny life, so those who look with envy seem to show their heads in the unfathomable darkness.
“After all, it’s like a stepping stone that fellow merchants cross over at least once. That’s what he thinks, and there’s no reason for me to give it special consideration.”
“If you think so, I have nothing to say.”
“Only my former seniors don’t have to betray me. There is no such thing.”
There was a strange sense of weight in the lightly spoken words with a smile.
“The psychology of people who have taken their place by betrayal is clear. After all, because you can’t trust others, you betray again, you always doubt that you will be betrayed, and as you become engrossed in your doubts, it wears out slowly.”
Lortel, who put the glass down on the table, smiled slightly, and said quietly.
“Before I ask, my answer is my experience.”
“I didn’t even want to drink water.”
“Consideration is impressive, but the time to be hurt by such things has already passed. So, senpai, to get the point… this old man with slo-gras is very difficult to deal with, as his fine bones are thick.”
The old fox. It was obvious how cunning and clever he would be if Lor Tell himself called it that way.
The fact that he kept his rice bowl for over 20 years in that bloody old deck suggests many things.
“I’m still taking the stance of delaying my rise to the board of directors while dealing with the actual work, but when I start moving in earnest, I’ll try to bring me down.”
“How specifically?”
“Justice.”
Lortel raised her palms at an angle and spoke sensibly.
“The scales of Elte’s arms are always level.”
Is the word he says whenever he naturally reveals his hypocrisy is like a catchphrase from the Elte company?
“If you want to cause the downfall of Lortel Keheln, the deputy director of Hoiju, you must find a worthy cause.”
“Like when you kicked out Elte Keheln?”
The previous owner who wiped out the theory of responsibility for the sale of Jangguryu, sluggish performance, and allegations of accounting fraud all at once.
Now is the time for the dagger to fly to Lortel.
“But… we’ve known each other for nearly 20 years as a fellow merchant. We understand to some extent what each other’s tactics are used to stalk each other.”
“Even though we’ve known each other for so long, there’s no such thing as trust… Even the merchants live very tired lives.”
“Really, literally. Rather, it’s scarier because we’ve known each other for a long time. As an internal enemy, he understands my course of action very well.”
Lortel checks once more to make sure there are no ears around, and speaks with a lower voice.
“So, you’re going to try to outsmart me. I’ll check everything in every way, but somehow find something I didn’t expect. You know that I am not a friendly opponent.”
“I’ve never seen you so vigilant. A person who behaved like a relaxed sheep even in front of princesses.”
“You must not fall into the illusion that you are in strict control of all variables. If you want to survive long on this floor, you must always doubt yourself.”
As the limb of the Viceroy Lortel of Hoiju, the right arm that always faithfully plays his role.
Slog is most likely taking that position.
“Can’t you just grab the pod first and cut the slog?”
Even as he said that, he was somewhat aware of the fact that he was a pointless intellectual. most uptodate nov𝑒ls are publish𝒆d on ƒreewebηoveℓ.com.
“You do a really good job. His performance is good and he has excellent management skills, so he doesn’t leave a single part of the book that can be held. I can’t find any justification for kicking them out, so if I force them out a bit…”
“…that would give Slog a fair reason to protest.”
“…Yes. In a fight for justifications like this, the one who uses force first loses. It’s because the opponent is a bit of a giant to go out on my own like when I chase a dune.”
Slog is in the offensive position and Lortel is in the defensive position.
That’s what it was like to stay in place.
“The best thing is to deliberately give yourself a break and fight back.”
The one who loses in the fight for cause is the first to make a ‘mistake’.
“Right now, Slogue is playing a sincere middleman without giving any pods, but he is preparing for the moment he reveals his true nature. It would be best to counterattack.”
“I think the fact that the slog reveals its true color is when the victory is actually decided… it’s an old fox.”
“Yes. So, it is better to prepare a number that can completely outsmart you.”
Ed picked up a few well-grilled steaks and cleared his mind.
It’s not very pleasant to get involved in the vile power struggles of the merchants, but I feel the need to help, since Lortel is in trouble.
“Ed sunbaenim… I want you to be a ‘wedge’ for that time.”
“Wedge?”
“When Slog reveals a crack, please be the witness who observed the crack. Ed senior not only has the power of the saints, but also the power of the imperial family. There are only a handful of people in this empire who are in touch with the saints and princesses at the same time.”
When Lortel had a good cause to kick out Slogue, they asked him to be present as a witness.
“It’s not that difficult, but… I don’t know if it’s the relationship with Seonghwangdo, the relationship with the imperial family is a bit awkward these days…”
“Yes? Aren’t you in regular contact with the princesses?”
“Princess Penia, after being decided as the heir to the throne, I am so busy that it is difficult to keep in touch with Princess Selaha… There is a part where I have a bad relationship.”
“Why? Maybe… a bit of a personal question?”
“It’s not necessarily like that… It’s a bit difficult from my point of view. They invade Roth Taylor’s mansion at will, create a black history on their own, then disintegrate at will and then run away to the imperial family… Even though she always accepts Tanya’s tea party invitations…”
“…I won’t ask for details.” fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
“Yes, thank you. Anyway, the key is that there are some uneasy parts.”
Lortel shrugged her chin, pondering, and eventually declared that the variable wasn’t that big.
“Anyway, what I was trying to say was that we needed to get rid of the slogs. I don’t know when I’ll reveal my true feelings, but if I make a move to become a member of the company in earnest, a reaction will come.”
“When is that?”
“Soon.”
Ed tilted his head and looked at Lortel. Then Lortell smiles like her fox.
“You get busy when school starts. Let’s get rid of the beef horns as well.”
“Then…”
“When I return to the Old Deck this time, I will announce the story of the position as a shareholder. The slog will also move slowly.”
It was obvious what he meant.
“Ed-sunbaenim, would you like to accompany me to the old deck around that time?”
To put an end to the slog, and to take Ed to the old deck.
Ed just nodded at Lortel’s request to take care of both cause and profit.
Ed and Lortel’s trusting relationship is stronger than expected, and they are not swayed by self-interest.
A great amount of gold and silver treasures, the buildings and powers of the great Elte Chamber, and all kinds of famous contacts.

More than all of that, Lortel felt more reassured that Ed nodded his head, and then went on to say a monologue on his own.
Anyway, I’ve been wanting to hug this man for the rest of my life… I’ve been thinking implicitly.
“Master Ed said he was going to the Old Deck to help Miss Lortel soon.”
– Whoops.
Jenica’s movements as she chewed on the salad were swift and stiff.
However, for a moment… like a rabbit, he nodded while muttering at the tip of the cabbage.
“Yeah, I thought it was time to renew the contract with Elte to supply school supplies~. Ed too, it must be difficult because I am in a position to represent a bachelor.”
“Well, it seems that Master Ed intends to take care of his academic work at once, but the point is that he is leaving to help Ms. Lortel in her work.”
“Yeah, that’s right. You must be very busy, Ed. After all, everyone with strong sense of responsibility and ability must be so busy and hard-working~ I hope you do your best. Is there anything else I can do to help?”
Yenika was still humming and chewing food. After she returned from Pulan, she had a faint expression on her face, as if in a dream, so that Bell could easily guess what had happened.
Bell came over to Yenica’s side as she was eating breakfast, and whispered earnestly into her ear so that the other maids could not hear her.
“Did you sleep with Ed?”
“Pukkahak! Kahaak!”
I didn’t need an answer. If that’s the case, it’s as if you’ve already reached the conclusion.
“Bee, Bell, what a manly thing are you talking about!”
“I just wanted to say something for Ms. Yenika. I mean, you shouldn’t let go of your heart just because it seems like he’s a good match.”
Bell’s words always hit the core. Yenica knew that too well, so she looked shy but strangely listened to Belle ..
“Hey, what do you mean…?”
“There is a saying that all men are wolves, right? Of course, Master Ed is always strong and sincere, but he doesn’t know what’s going to happen if his opponent makes several tricks. Especially if it’s that Lortel girl, she’ll never stand still.”
From Bell’s point of view, cheering for someone is not very comfortable, but at least I didn’t want to see the good-natured Yenika sit idle and do nothing and lose Ed.
“Hey, you don’t have to worry about that!”
But, strangely, Yenika was asserting.
“Ed whispered to me! Because I am here, Ed can be strong…”
“Miss Jenika, you have a great voice.”
Yenika swung around and looked around, and a few maids blushed and hurriedly passed by with cleaning tools. Yenika blew her cold sweat away, fanning her swish hands to blow her heat away.
“Uh, anyway… Ed promised me a future…”
“Is that so…”
Bell felt strangely moved by the progress she had made more than she expected. I feel like Jenika is finally starting to do her part, and I feel like a parent watching her child grow.
However, there are still things to check and go.
“Are you sure you said that?”
“What, what?”
“If you have made a clear statement that you will draw a line with another woman… there is no need to doubt what you say…”
After talking up to that point, Yenica is also reminding herself of the conversation she had with Ed.
I was so engrossed in the overwhelming sense of happiness that rose in my heart just by sleeping together.
But if you think about it again…
“…that, Miss Yenica…why did you… stop talking…”
I was immersed in that euphoria and euphoria, and while interacting with Ed, we exchanged many words with Ed… How the conclusion was reached…
“That… maybe… Bell…”
“…Yes?”
“I was swept away by that… atmosphere…”
Yenika speaks hard.
“Ed… maybe she allowed… the wind… that somehow happened that…”
A moment of silence.
I clearly understood what Yenica said verbally, but I can’t understand the meaning immediately.
Bell, who had been hardened like a stone for a while, had no choice but to look down at Yenica with a meaningful expression and ask a question.
“…what the hell is that…?”
“Then I will contact you again. Ed senior.”
The next day, when the story of the business case for Seonghwangdo was finished, Lortel got back on the wagon heading for Oldek.
Lortel’s expression as he spoke with the window down was quite calm.
“I hope to see you at the Old Deck soon.”
“Yes, Lortel. Take care of yourself too. From the looks of it, there is a high possibility of getting involved in something dangerous.”
“Huh… you don’t have to worry about that. Anyway, it would be difficult for Slog to directly harm my body. Like I said, it’s a fight for justification after all.”
Whoever crosses the line first loses his cause. When each other’s powers are boiling, in the end, the winner often comes down to who holds the legitimacy.
“It’s not an easy opponent, but I hope we can celebrate the win together next time you come to the All Deck.”
I wished so, and sent Lortel.
Anyway, Lortel knows how to cover herself. No matter how much the old-fashioned slogan is, it won’t be easy to outwit and deceive that snarky Lortel.
With that in mind, I let Lortel’s wagon go away quietly.
When the situation is settled to some extent, they will invite me to the All Deck.
And, next week’s letter from the Elte Chamber was… not Lortel.
A letter from Lortel’s most trusted henchman, Lienna, the chief secretary. If she were Lien, she was completely loyal to Lorthel, so she was a reliable human.
The content was written in hasty, scribbled letters, but there were very few specific parts. Were you afraid that the contents would be leaked to someone?
However, the words clearly and clearly written… made me gain strength from my forehead.
– ‘I bow my head with all my heart to Master Ed Roth-Taylor of the glorious and great Ros-Taylor Mansion.’
This was an SOS request.
– ‘Assistant Hoeju is seriously injured, and there is no place to turn for help. Please protect the deputy director of the Roth Taylor mansion. I sincerely ask for it.’
Something is happening in the Old Deck.
As much as that fact, I knew for sure.
