Break up.
Viscount Lawrence narrowed his eyes at those words.
There was no room for compromise.
Even if the target of arranged marriage stubbornly insisted that it wouldn't suffice, Roman was sincerely hoping for a breakup.
'It's over.'
Dizziness occurred.
Arranged marriage was Lawrence's last option.
Judging that he could not stop Barco by all means, he borrowed external power, even using his own daughter, Flora.
As a patriarch, it is your duty to protect the family.
There was a belief that even if it would ruin the life of his daughter, who was hurting, even if he saw it in her eyes, it would be better than the reality of a falling family.
And now, the stigma of breakup was stamped.
No matter how beautiful Flora is, there is no family that can afford to have a woman whose reputation has been ruined after a breakup.
This means that the same method cannot be used.
In the future, the crisis had to be resolved with the strength of the Lawrence family alone.
Besides,
'I must calm Dmitry's heart. Cause on the day that they even hold hands with Barco as a means of revenge, even the method of ultimate resistance doesn't work.'
Dmitry.
Baron Romero's anger was surging.
If it was Baron Romero, who was throwing up his heat as if he was about to eat him right away, it wasn't too strange to see him change to Barco while smoothing out this marriage.
It meant the downfall of Lawrence.
If Barco and Dmitry, who are powerful in the northeast region, unite, there is no way to withstand the offensive.
It was embarrassing.
Like his heart, he wanted to tell his daughter that it was okay.
Although he was a father who always made good choices for his daughter, he was no different from the father of the Joel family in a situation where the future of the family was at stake.
Even though he was a nobleman, he bowed his head to the teacher.
Viscount Lawrence bowed his head without any shame in the face of the reality of breaking up.
"This problem is entirely Lawrence's fault. Therefore, Lawrence will take responsibility for the breakup. And as an apology, for the time being, I will not take the toll and tax from Dmitry to Lawrence. Of course, such a penny would be meaningless to the rich man of iron ore but think of it as a sincere apology from the Lawrence family for taking care of the family's important affairs."
"No, you don't have to do that. Dmitry has no desire to profit from the matter of his eldest son's future. Let the public know that Flora Lawrence has broken up because of personal issues and end this matter. If that's the case, Dmitry won't stick with Barco."
"Thank you. Thank you very much."
Baron Romero's reaction.
At that sincerity, Lawrence shook his head, but his heart ached.
'Marriage to Dmitry might have been the best option we could have.'
A father who loves his son.
And Dmitry's eldest son, unlike rumours...
The more he looked the worse it got.
'I don't know why people call Roman the idiot of Dmitry, but the Roman I experienced myself is an unusual man.'
The force that subjugated Blood Fang. The boldness of expressing one's beliefs proudly in front of everyone in the territory of another noble.
In particular, the way he made choices for the family even in the face of a breakup, he truly fell in love with character of the man named, Roman Dmitry.
Roman was a sleeping dragon.
If he reveals his true worth in the future, Flora will always be ridiculed by people.
Breakup is like that.
In Flora's life, Roman is now an inseparable label.
'I wonder if my daughter would have liked Roman. Had I known the true value of Roman even a little earlier, I would have prevented Flora from making hasty choices. This is a big mistake I made too.'
*gulp*
Swallowed up the regret.
It has already happened.
Viscount Lawrence repeatedly apologized, and only then left when Baron Romero's expression softened.
Only Roman Dmitry and his father were left.
Baron Romero's gaze turned to Roman.
Throughout the conversation, he couldn't help but concentrate on one question that tickled his head.
"Son. What the hell happened during the week?"
Roman's look.
That was an issue that needed an explanation.
Time in Closed Room Lungs Practice.
Roman entered the human phase.
The human stage is the process of creating the foundation for demonstrating the divine powers of heaven, but in fact, it cannot be said that it is so great by the standards of Moorim.
But in this world, it was different. The mana floating in nature was so abundant, and Roman's body had a serious level of waste, so just creating a foundation had a dramatic effect.
One step forward.
In Roman's dantian, the god of heaven played a thorn.
The change in appearance due to the metamorphosis of the skeleton was proof that he had become a completely different person from before.
"I had some realization while practicing alone. I don't remember exactly, but it seems there was a mana cycle going on in the body."
" Did you say mana cycle now?"
"Yes."
"Huh."
Baron Romero was surprised.
'Mana cycle…'
It is a rare phenomenon that occurs among people who deal with mana, and it refers to a phenomenon in which natural mana circulates in the body and makes the body ideal. Luck that only a few people can afford. It was Roman's best answer, but Baron Romero had complicated thoughts about Roman's remarks.
'It's a mana cycle.'
Lately, Roman's change was shocking.
His son, who was called Dmitry's idiot, abruptly declared the breakup, and was doing things he could not have even imagined before, starting with Blood Fang. Especially in the case of the victory over Chris in mock battle and the mana cycle mentioned now, even in the common sense realm, he could not readily understand.
The father did not know his son.
How did your son grow up and what things he knows how to do.
Rather than simply dismissing it as a genius, he knew well that the changes that occurred in Roman were beyond common sense.
But.
'Still, it is clear that he is my son.'
Son's face.
Son's eyes.
And the voice that calls himself father.
Doubts were buried.
I don't know what has changed for Roman, but for Baron Romero, the only important thing is that Roman is Dmitry's eldest son.
"As you go forward, keep this one fact in mind. I am your father. No matter what difficulties you may face, as Roman Dmitry's father, I am not one to turn away from them. And the person who will rejoice in your development is also this father. So don't forget that your name is Roman Dmitry. I, Romero Dmitry, will always be one step behind you and support you."
Romero's words.
It was odd.
And it was unfamiliar.
The father Roman remembers, or even Baek Jung-hyeok remembers, was cruel and cold-hearted and drove his son to death.
But this feeling,
'Not bad.'
Is this what family supposed to be?
Roman laughed.
"Thank you, Father."
When he left the office, Roman faced a familiar situation.
The woman, who had said "Are you crazy?" with a bewildered face, bowed her head with a different face than then.
"I'm so sorry. I judged you hastily, and I made decisions about the important things of the family at will."
It was Flora.
In a series of situations, she couldn't look straight at Roman.
"There is no need for an apology."
Roman's reaction was cold.
Revenge?
It wasn't that kind of feeling.
Roman felt that an apology was not really necessary.
'Everything is just a consequential story, and Flora's choice was not wrong.'
If… If it hadn't been for Baek Joong-hyuk to possess Roman's body.
Roman must have been a man worthy of Dmitry's nickname, as rumoured, and his will was so weak that he would commit suicide if he was even a little cornered.
Combining with Dmitry may be a way to solve the immediate problem.
However, as a woman, it is harsh to make a lifelong promise to a man like Roman.
So,
"I understood Flora."
Moreover, there was no reason to express anger at the woman who had decided to take on all the responsibility.
However, Flora interpreted Roman's reaction differently.
"I fully understand why you are angry. I can't help but be angry. Even though it was an arranged marriage where the will between the parties was not important, it was because the promise was unilaterally broken. But I just wanted to tell you one thing. There was a special reason why I made the decision to break up."
"..."
Roman didn't react and stand still.
To Roman's staring gaze, Flora said in a crawling voice.
"Actually now, I think it was just a rumour. It's not a rumour that suits a man who subjugates Blood Fang himself and doesn't always lose his focus. Still, I'm telling you because I think you need to know. The source of the rumours was at a social gathering led by nobles in the northeast area. When the rumours spread that I was marrying Dmitry by arrangement, the nobles I knew told me that Roman Dmitry was addicted to drugs. It's the kind of drug that makes you lose your senses when you're addicted, so I couldn't hear that."
It was the first time he heard that.
Still, it was quiet.
Roman was neither embarrassed nor did he show any special reaction.
"It doesn't matter that you notified me of the breakup for some reason, Flora. You did not want to marry me, and the result is only to break up."
First time too and even now.
Roman didn't allow her to come closer to him.
"So don't get involved in my life anymore."
Roman speaks coldly and moves.
That was the end of it.
A woman named Flora had no right to enter Roman's fence.
On the way back to the room.
Roman was lost in thought.
Flora and Lawrence.
Although troublesome relationships were sorted out, Flora threw a problem that he couldn't ignore at the end.
'It's a drug.'
His eyebrows twitched.
'Drug.'
It was an issue that could not be overlooked.
When he was living as Baek Joong-hyuk, Roman saw the lives of demons who were addicted to drugs.
They did not simply plunge their own lives into the abyss of evil but polluted everything around them like a disease.
How did Roman touch such a dangerous thing?
Then, Roman's suicide, which was the beginning of a new life, had to be interpreted for a slightly different reason from now on.
'Roman may not have committed suicide simply to avoid enlistment. Actually, there were a lot of things that were confusing from the beginning. He would have known that if he married Flora Lawrence by arrangement, he could solve the problem of enlisting in the military, but he made an extreme decision too early. Therefore, there may be other reasons.'
*smirk*
Laughter came out.
Roman recently underwent a human metamorphosis.
So, no matter what Flora said, I knew that Roman's body lacked the energy of a drug-addicted nature. Only one. There was an impure energy presumed to have been taken when he committed suicide, but it was completely removed in the process of metamorphosis.
That is to say,
The rumours that Flora had heard were evidence of harm.
"It's getting fun."
There is something people misunderstand.
Just like Roman took Hans to the fence.
There were people who said that he might be a holy warlord when he saw the angel ruling over people.
That's a big mistake.
If you are an enemy that crosses his territory.
Roman trampled on and condemned even the smallest of things.
It is far from fairness.
The world of weak-meat-food.
It was natural to press down from the top, and the fear engraved on the bones became the basis for the subjugation of the Moorim.
"I probably need to check the facts."
*trrrrring*
The bell rang immediately.
*tak*
"Did you call, Master?"
The first person in this world to enter his fence.
Hans carefully opened the door.
