My villains episode 502
interlude. The old fox
“Nari. Lord Marquis.”
The girl’s voice tickled his ears. Eabon, a middle-aged man with a robust physique, opened his eyes with a frown.
“The Count is here, sir. Hurry up and make it rain.”
“Okay.”
The Marquis wiped his wrinkled face and looked around the room.
The bedroom of Naseong Axod was quite spacious as it was reserved for the Margrave’s VIPs. The floor was covered with smooth granite flagstones, the furnishings were quite high quality, and there were several fairly large windows.
Even so, compared to the Marquis’ Palace in Lianwell, it only looked like a shabby and cramped rat hole.
Eavon sighed as he recalled the forest he had painstakingly created.
Claire, the pretty-faced maid, laughed softly, showing her white teeth. Then, she wrapped herself around the old man’s back with her white naked body, the size of her teeth.
“Get up quickly, Nari.”
“...Osu came?”
“yes. You are at the door right now.”
The girl lightly kissed the Marquis on the cheek and got off the bed.
Eavon, who had been staring blankly at the straight spine, well-breasted breasts, and buttocks with red handprints, took his eyes off it only after Claire put on a cotton smock and an orange kirtle. And he cleared his throat.
“Os? Is there a crab?”
“Yes, Grandpa. I prepared a simple breakfast.”
“Wait a little. Please open soon.”
“yes.”
Hearing the voice from beyond the door, the Marquis raised himself with a pained sound. The Marquis, who had been served by a maid, washed her face and put on her clothes, accepted the silk tunic and leaned on the bed.
“Just tidy up the blankets and leave.”
“Are you okay?”
“What is not okay? It’s not like I don’t have hands.”
Claire smiled lightly, tidying up the disheveled bedding and straightening her hair. As the girl hurriedly dressed up with a face mixed with both shyness and excitement headed toward the door, Eabon whispered.
“What are you doing?”
“yes?”
“What are you talking about? You asked, you foolish. You’re not going out there right now, are you?”
“Uh...
Seeing the girl making a stupid noise, the Marquis clicked his tongue in silence.
“What will my grandson think if he sees his grandfather eating with a boy younger than me?”
“Ah, that’s- then I”
The owner’s gaze reached the window, and the blood drained from his normally white face.
“There is nothing to be afraid of. It’s only on the third floor, and the grass is below, so you’ll only break your legs a little.”
“But sir.”
“Because of the bell, I stayed up until the sun rose in the middle of the sky, so I have to pay the price. If you scream needlessly, you will not be able to receive treatment from the priest, so you should know that.”
As the Marquis coldly shot at her, the maid shook her chin slightly. For a moment, Claire climbed onto the window sill with a pale face.
“Oh wait.”
“yes.”
“Is that the end of being bland?”
Despite the grandson’s bashful, awkward smile, the grandfather only chuckled.
Os felt strange to see his grandfather, who had always looked down on him, so happy to see him. It wasn’t until after all the battles were over that he showed such an appearance right after he belatedly appeared with a large army, but he couldn’t get used to it.
Also, he wasn’t happy to see him happy, so I was a little suspicious of myself. It’s hard to believe that even just a few months ago, he was struggling to stay out of his grandfather’s eyes.
“Your Excellency, Marquis.”
The one who opened the bedroom door and appeared was the Marquis’ henchman, ‘Golden Swordsman’ Gidebal. As the renowned knight commander hurriedly walked in with his armor clattering, the servants who were cleaning the table hurriedly retreated.
“Why?”
“This is a call from His Highness, Prince 1.”
“The Crown Prince? from this morning?”
“yes. They say Lord Kingsley and the riders are back.”
“Ohh. at las?”
Eavon furrowed his eyebrows in interest, and Os’s eyes widened as well.
“How long have you been back?”
“It’s only been two days after a full moon.” The young count turned to Gidebal as he unconsciously answered his grandfather’s question.
“Did you summon all the nobles?”
“That’s not it, sir.”
Unlike before, the old knight commander used a harsh title of honor instead of the soft title of ‘Doun-nim’. Oss didn’t like that, but now wasn’t the time to point it out.
“You summoned only five people, including the Lord and His Excellency, the Earl of Coburn, the Marshal of Baek Frix, and the Marshal of Garwin.”
“...All of them are lords who have contributed to His Highness the 3 princes. Except for those in Eisbowald.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Um”
As the grandson’s face darkened, the Marquis shook his head as if it was not a big deal.
“You’re worrying for nothing again.”
“But Grandpa. If the reply from Prince Eun was negative-”
“It would be a more favorable situation for us. How many times have I told you?”
Eavon scolded Os, wiping his mouth with a white cloth.
“Ariaga is a family that is like a brother to the royal family. For a hundred and seventy years since King Qi, the same name as you, raised the golden banner, the Arya family have always been faithful defenders of the kingdom. We must not forget this for trivial comradeship.” “I am King Milanol’s most trusted vassal, and you will be too. It means that he owes his allegiance to Lionel III and his son Zacharys, not to Ulkar, who has already died. Do you understand?”
As Oss moved his lips silently, Eavon urged with a cold face.
“Os. answer me.”
“Yes, Grandpa.”
“Whose subject are you?”
“I am your grandfather’s servant.”
“After taking my place?”
“I will go and judge then.”
The Marquis glared coldly at his grandson. And he smiled bitterly.
“Damn it. What is Ariaga’s seed?”
He pinched Os’s cheek with a satisfied face and stood up.
“Let’s go. The fat lion is calling, so the foxes must rule.”
