A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War! - FSAGW Chapter 59 (Part 2)
How dare he try to be cunning in front of Kaiyan. Arrogant guy.
“Knight Grandel.”
“Yes! I’m at your service!”
“So, who are you serving?”
“Well, um…”
“How long does he have to endure your impertinence?”
The guy who completely fell into Kaiyan’s trap closed his eyes tightly and reluctantly opened his mouth.
“No. I am serving Jansen de Carsia.”
“Carsia? Jansen? Jansen is a noble?”
“Jansen de Carsia?”
Internally, Kaiyan was greatly surprised, but he calmly asked without showing it.
“Yes! You may not know, Tarien-nim, but… he is the second son of the Carsia family.”
“Oh? But why would they target me?”
“What? No, never! We were only trying to deal with the mercenaries according to orders. We have no intention of harming you, Tarien-nim!”
“So, this is Jansen’s plan. What does this noble guy want?”
Glancing behind him, Kaiyan noticed that the mercenaries were trembling with fear and awe, believing that he was a noble. Of course, being a noble was a lie.
After a brief thought, Kaiyan opened his mouth again.
“Then, what is the reason? As a noble myself, I can’t understand. Why go through the trouble of dealing with mercenaries in this distant place? And why hire knights to do it?”
“That’s… um…”
“Why is it so difficult to answer? If that’s the case, I will have to report this to your family.”
“Oh, um…”
Kaiyan took a slightly stronger approach, and the guy, very flustered, approached and quietly opened his mouth.
“Tarien, I will tell you the truth. However, I have one request…”
“How dare a knight like you make a request to a noble?”
“It’s not like that… This is also a request from my master, Jansen.”
“Oh? Then let me hear it and decide.”
“Yes, the truth is…”
Grandel explained in a very low voice, as if no one else should hear, why the situation turned out this way.
Based on his words, the Jansen Kaiyan met was indeed a noble. He requested the mercenaries to create this troublesome situation in order to fake his death.
“Faking his death… for whom?”
“That… to hide it from the first son of the Carsia family, Lord Baran.”
If they are brothers of the same family, why would he go to such lengths to hide it from his brother?
“Why?”
“As Tarien-nim knows, the Carsia family, temporarily, had Lord Baran take the position of successor. The official successor has not been determined yet. That’s why… it seems to bother Lord Baran to have Jansen in his sight.”
“So… a power struggle among noble families?”
The first wanted to kill the second in order to obtain solid power, while the second used mercenaries to preserve his life from such a sibling.
“I don’t understand. Why was Jansen pretending to be a merchant?”
“That… it was a plan Jansen prepared years ago to escape from Baran. To gain the trust of suspicious Baran, prior preparations were necessary. So Jansen left his family and personally operated the upper ranks, pretending to be a merchant.”
For several years, a noble, not a commoner, acted as a merchant. What a despicable guy.
Lowering oneself and crouching on the ground, sacrificing dignity to survive as a noble who lives by pride.
“I understand that. But there’s still one thing I don’t get. Even if they claim to have killed the mercenaries, will Baran believe that Jansen is dead? He is so suspicious.”
“Don’t worry about that. If they eliminate only the mercenaries, he will definitely believe.”
“It doesn’t make sense.”
“How? No, weren’t you planning to pretend that you killed Jansen from the beginning? Are you going to report that to Baran? That you killed the master you served with your own hands?”
Baran was naturally keeping an eye on Jansen, so he would have known that the Tarian Upper Rank had left for the northwest.
But if those guys are really so suspicious, would they believe the words of others without seeing Jansen’s corpse with their own eyes? Especially the report from Jansen’s Knights?
“Haha, no need to worry. It’s because they are not Jansen’s knights.”
“What are they talking about? Earlier, they said they were serving Jansen. Are they joking with me?”
“Oh, that’s not… We are actually serving Baran. Of course, only on the surface. This task was also given by Baran. Now that Jansen has left his territory, chase him down and kill him.”
“Wow, both of them are crazy bastards.”
Can there be such a chaotic situation within chaos?
The first is trying to kill the second by any means necessary, while the second is trying to deceive the first by sacrificing foolish mercenaries and workers, even their hidden subordinates.
It sends chills down Kaiyan’s spine. Is the internal struggle of noble families always this intense, or is it only the Carsia family?
“It’s absurd. So, what’s the favor you’re asking for? If you’re willing to reveal such secretive information, it must be a significant favor.”
“Hehe… Can Tarian-nim help Jansen a little?”
“Help him?”
“Yes, Jansen has no intention of giving up the position of successor. He just wants to hide for a while because he is still lacking in power.”
“So, they want me to help when the struggle for succession starts?”
“Yes, if you help with that, Jansen will also assist you when the succession battle in the Cheniavin family begins.”
“It seems that the succession battle in the Cheniavin family is fierce as well. Well, it’s useless information now that I know it.”
“Hmm… What should I do?”
Kaiyan furrowed his brow, pretending to be deep in thought while looking at Grandel.
“Please consider it carefully. I don’t think it’s a bad offer for Tarian-nim.”
Grandel looked at Kaiyan with an anxious expression.
“He seems annoyed.”
If Kaiyan refuses the offer here, what will happen?
“They will probably try to kill me.”
That’s why they openly revealed all the details. It’s a good thing if Kaiyan can receive help, and even if he refuses, he can eliminate the evidence.
Perhaps the moment he refuses, they will draw their swords and rush to kill him.
As evidence, the guys behind them are standing with their hands on their hips, ready to take action.
“Fine! I’ll accept.”
“Are you serious? Tarian-nim, you have made a wise decision!”
When Kaiyan accepted the offer, the stiff expression on Grandel’s face brightened. What a foolish guy.
“But on one condition. Jansen must fulfill one of my requests.”
Kaiyan is no longer someone who is simply used by nobles.
“If he wishes, I will let myself be used.”
