A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood

Episode 192 – Aftermath of the Attack

Anna and Seluna, who were looking at the spot where Alberto left, still looked shocked.

That’s probably because the words the masked Alberto said to the two were secrets they didn’t want to reveal.

The masked prosecutor mentioned something that happened in an unexplored area three years ago?

This means that the masked prosecutor was either a person who was there or someone who heard about the incident from someone.

Besides that, I was able to think of myself as a party to what happened that day.

However, the two people could not believe that the masked prosecutor and Alberto were the same person, and there was a good reason for that.

First, although Alberto was often misunderstood, he was basically a nobleman-style handsome man who could easily attract the favor of the opposite s*x.

If you add a soft and emotional voice, you can truly say that he is a prince on a white horse.

However, due to Alberto’s fatal flaw, his narrow eyes, his appearance was sometimes undervalued.

Still, looking at it overall, a man named Alberto could be said to be one of the handsome men.

However, the masked swordsman who saved Nina, Anna, and Seluna today was the exact opposite of Alberto.

First of all, not only was he wearing a mocking clown mask, but his speech was very suspicious, and his voice was thick and had a strange sound like scraping metal.

So, from the looks of it, it was impossible to think that the two people were the same person.

Second, there was a difference in movement.

Alberto was the eldest son of an aristocrat family, and was a man who had the unique manners of an aristocrat engrained in him through numerous etiquette lessons and learning about the manners of an aristocrat from an early age.

Naturally, even when living at the Royal Academy, dignified behavior imbued with the unique courtesy of an aristocrat naturally emerged.

Unlike Alberto during his time at the Royal Academy, the masked swordsman was not aristocratic at all, and was just a man with a strong raw feeling.

However, this was thanks to Alberto, who wore the mask, trying to erase his traces from small things such as his actions and voice his.

Alberto, who learned about the dangers of people like El-Romed from the ambassador’s wife, Tarun, tried to erase all his old behavior.

Tarun thought that El-Romede, due to their nature, were spread widely across the country, and were likely to quickly share information about dangerous people.

So Tarun asked Alberto to give up all his habits, and as a result, he could not find anything in the current Alberto that reminded him of the old Alberto.

This could be seen from the fact that Anna and Seluna did not think that the Masked Prosecutor and Alberto were the same person.

Even Nina was seriously thinking about the relationship between the masked prosecutor and Alberto.

Even people who lived with Alberto for a long time would be confused, but the odds that Anna and Seluna, who had only seen each other for a few days at most, would notice the difference were similar to picking a star in the sky.＜ Br＞

◈

After Alberto destroyed the mana suppressor and disposed of the remaining El-Romed remnants in the city, there were no more El-Romed hardliners left in the city.

Therefore, the three women were able to come out onto the streets with peace of mind.

“Honey! Honey! Come to your senses, honey!”

“Someone got hurt!” “Someone help me!”

“Huh ah ah, dad, mom!”

However, the streets were truly chaos.

Many citizens inevitably shed blood due to attacks by El-Romed hardliners.

The cries that flow from the mouths of those who have lost their families, the screams of those who cry out for help, and even children desperately looking for their parents.

I thought the expression ‘a crucible of chaos’ would be a good fit.

“For what reason did they do this?”

Nina, who witnessed the scene of the catastrophe, muttered to herself with an expression of disbelief.

“There must be some purpose. Otherwise, there would be no reason to move so systematically.”

The person who answered Nina’s self-talk was Anna.

Among the things her attackers said, there were a few things that bothered her.

‘Kill the nobleman. Then the whole world will be shocked.’

Considering that she said she would target and kill nobles, it was easy to guess that they were targeting something.

Moreover, seeing as they said that the whole world would be shocked, it seemed like they would gain some benefit by killing the nobles.

Since nobles were basically members of interest groups, they were rarely punished for crimes even if they committed them.

So, no matter how angry they were, people like commoners who knew their status well did not oppose the nobles.

This was because he was well aware that if anything happened against the nobles, innocent people in the area would be harmed.

Not only for that reason, it was an unwritten rule that nobles did not touch commoners, and commoners did not touch nobles.

Since interfering with each other would only cause trouble, it was convenient to just ignore each other.

Of course, this did not matter if they were lower class than commoners.

Basically, the lower class was not treated as a member of the region.

Anyway, due to an attack by something, a noble with a title or a being of equivalent rank suffers damage or dies?

In that case, the target that would be hit was determined.

They were people like the mayor or lord who had to maintain public order in the city.

And above that was the monarch who ruled the country.

“It is my opinion, but I think what they are aiming for is not simple social chaos.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“They were targeting Baron Esselton earlier. The reason is because of the ring that you wear, symbolizing your rank as a baron.”

“Are you saying you were targeting me because of this?”

As Nina held up her her ring her her her, symbolizing her her throne her her her, Anna detailed her her thoughts her her her to Nina.

As Nina listened carefully to what Anna said, she made up her own mind and realized that her claims were not entirely unfounded.

“Of course, it is. If a titled noble from another country dies within his country, the responsibility lies entirely with the monarch who rules that country.”

“I think that’s probably why Baron Esselton was targeted. Moreover, since the Baron became a nobleman through accomplishments, the impact will be greater than that of other nobles.”

As Anna said, her name her Nina Gratias Esselton, had considerable influence among the nobility.

Above all, the family she was closest to was the Maidern family, and wasn’t Count Maidern, the head of the Maidern family, a sword master?

So, no noble could treat Nina carelessly.

If she were to treat Nina carelessly and receive a negative evaluation from the Maidern family, she would be judged negatively by all families related to her.

To that extent, a person named Nina had great influence among the nobles of the Bregern Empire.

A noble person considers not only her her own abilities but also her her personal connections as she owns her.

“Then what are they aiming for through the chaos?”

“I’m not sure. However, it does not seem to be a good thing, at least for the El Pario Empire and the homeland.”

Because Anna did not know what El-Romed’s purpose was, she could only give this answer.

It was the same for Seluna as well.

Although she had brokered various matters between the Kingdom of Alverium and the Kingdom of Humans, this was her first time experiencing such a large-scale raid.

So the only thought I had about this was, ‘There are a lot of people who have done bad things.’

“It is my opinion, but there is a high possibility that these are organized rebel forces.”

After thinking for a long time, Nina was finally able to speak out her thoughts.

It was the rebel force that was the reason Alberto came to the Elpario Empire.

“Yes? A traitorous force?”

“Are there people plotting treason in the Elpario Empire?”

Annie and Seluna were very surprised to hear that they were a rebel force.

This was because there were few people who attempted treason for a long time.

Nina thought about this again.

Is it really okay to tell the truth to these two people?

Would it be okay to tell the truth to the people who gave Alberto the opportunity to go missing and come to the Elpario Empire using the name Adalbert?

Such worries were lingering in her head.

And she was finally able to come to a conclusion.
