The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life

nger.
Count Castro said with a forced expression,

“After listening to Count Fabius, I think I made a mistake, and I am really sorry.
It was a matter concerning my son, and I lost my temper for a while.
Count Fabius, thank you so much for clearly stating what mistake I have made.”

His attitude changed.

The noble’s nature—changing one’s attitude in an instant, like flipping a coin depending on the situation.
It was the secret to surviving in politics.

“Father!”

William Castro groaned.
For him, it was as if the sky was about to fall.
Count Castro suppressed his displeasure and forced his son to bow his head.

“You will follow the words of Roman Dmitry.
This is clearly your fault.
You will be asking Roman Dmitry’s younger brother for a reasonable apology, and I will withdraw you from the academy as soon as the work is done.
Please understand the heart of your father just once.”

Count Castro bowed his head.
It was the moment when the situation that seemed to explode at any moment ended with a white flag on one side.

In this case, Roman deliberately crossed the line, and the reason was clear.

‘The nobles of the Central Government always have the illusion that they have the upper hand.
Now that my value is soaring, there is a chance that my family and I will be harmed by the envy of these people.
That is why I need to show them who I am once in a while.
Count Castro is a good example.’

The situation changed, and Roman was quick to take advantage of it.
Instead of letting his fame go, he knew right away how to use it.
If the opponent hadn’t retreated, the situation would have been a mess, but there was also a certainty that no such thing would happen.

Roman Dmitry gauged the situation.
Marquis Benedict would have no choice but to side with Count Castro because if he sided with Roman, it would lead to an abrupt imbalance in the system.
He was already convinced of his opponent’s victory, so he took a risk and crossed the line.

However, even if the plan didn’t work, Roman was confident that he could defeat the Castro family.
He had one goal, but it required numerous steps.
Roman was not the type of person who minced words.
Although he moved radically, his actions were always based on a good plan.

Roman said,

“Alright, we will end this with a direct apology and resignation.”

“Thank you very much for your generosity.”

At that moment, William Castro’s expression turned pale.
His world collapsed.
Witnessing his father express his gratitude with a bright face, William Castro looked at Roman.

‘I am done for.’

That’s when he realized the caliber of the opponent he faced.
Roman Dmitry, a man of real power.

At that time, Lauren Dmitry was still in the academy.
His excitement at being praised by the professor didn’t subside, and he also wanted to meet Roman.

‘Where did brother go to?’

Roman asked him to prove that he was qualified.
He wondered if he showed enough of it.
Although he suffered a one-sided defeat against William Castro, he knew better that he was different than usual.

He still felt a stinging pain from the injury he got during the test.
In the past, he would have been too depressed to bear the pain, but now, even the discomfort brings a smile to his face.

It was then that a familiar face approached Lauren.

“Lauren! There is a problem!”

His expression went stiff.
The person who came in was his classmate.
The problem was that he was not a friend of Lauren but one of those who tormented him with William.

Lauren asked him.

“What is it? Why would you even say that to me?”

He thought that even if he got bullied here, he was going to stand up for himself.
Lauren was ready to hit him in order to not damage the reputation of his family, but he also wanted to live with dignity.

But his classmate’s purpose for coming was different from what he thought.

“Ah.
Now isn’t the time to act tough.
Your brother, Roman Dmitry, had an argument with William Castro, and they headed to the Castro family’s mansion! I don’t know what your brother will do if we leave him alone!”

“What?!”

He looked shocked.

What did it mean?

Roman Dmitry, whom he had been looking for a long time, suddenly fought with William and headed to the Castro family’s mansion.
The classmate explained.

“Actually, William was angry that you managed to hit him, so he was going on a rampage about breaking your arm.
Your older brother heard it, and they talked as he grabbed William by the neck and headed to the Castro family’s mansion together.
It might be dangerous.
You know how William’s personality is exactly like his father’s, right? Count Castro is more than capable of harming your brother.”

His heart sank.
His own brother, Roman Dmitry, unable to bear words directed at him, went to the Castro family’s mansion and put himself in a dangerous situation.

‘Brother…’

Tears welled up in his eyes.
Not once did Lauren experience getting help from his brothers.
His friends would ask if he had brothers, but both of them were too busy with their lives to be asked for help.

But now his brother has taken a risk for him.
Lauren couldn’t let it be.

‘If my brother gets hurt because of me, I will never be able to handle it.’

“Thank you for telling me!”

He ran right away.
His time in the capital was hard and lonely.
He always hid the truth because he didn’t want to burden his father, but he couldn’t do that now.

His eyes were filled with tears.
Lauren Dmitry arrived at the dorm quickly and spoke into the magic communicator in a sorrowful voice.

“Uhhh…uhhh…Dad…I think my brother is in danger.
I think he went out to help me but then got taken to the Castro family!”

At those words, the person at the other end of the line was stunned.
As he didn’t know that the situation was over yet, he couldn’t ignore the news Lauren delivered.
