My Lucky Encounter From The Game Turned Into Reality - M.L.E Chapter 54: Leveling Up Again (Part2)

Catherine had seen an article saying that when Adrian became a marquis, he applied for a Territory War to four families with whom he had a bad relationship.

So secretly, she had been cheering for Adrian.

“I won.”

“C-Congratulations.”

He had won the Territory War against four viscounties?

Even a mere Baron was a quiet figure, but to sweep away four viscount families simultaneously…

It felt like he had become a completely different being from the one who had been ostracized even within his family.

“So, I brought them here.”

“What?”

-Snap.

When Adrian snapped his fingers, the knights brought in the four individuals, who were normally dressed in nothing but the finest fabrics, but now were in tattered and worn-out clothing.

“Good heavens…”

Prince Viscount Parma, Prince Doherty, Viscountess Karma, and Prince Ronier.

These four young adults, who wouldn’t wear anything other than the highest-quality garments, stood before Catherine in tattered attire with pleading expressions.

And the moment they spotted Catherine, they dropped to their knees and shed tears.

“C-Catherine! No, Lady Catherine! We were fools! Please spare us!”

-Sob-“We apologize!”

“Please, please forgive us…”

“We’re sorry! We’re so sorry, Lady Catherine!”

Sincere apologies filled with earnestness.

However, Catherine could also sense that the predominant emotion in their faces was fear.

Although these were apologies from the people she had secretly resented and feared, they were crying and begging so desperately that it left her utterly confused.

“Take them away.”

“Ahh! Marquis Adrian, please forgive us!”

“Lady Catherine! Show mercy!”

As they were dragged out of the store, it was only then that it became clear why Adrian had come here.

He felt responsible for Catherine’s past.

“I plan to make Isabella Cascabel and Philip Brooks apologize as well. But for political reasons, it might take them a little longer, just wait…”

“You don’t have to do this.”

“I have no choice. You may not know, but you are my benefactor.”

The word “benefactor” made Catherine raise an eyebrow.

“Let me see.”

However, she was shocked by Adrian’s subsequent actions.

He exposed the scars that had always been hidden beneath long sleeves.

But then…

“Recovery!”

A warm golden light enveloped Catherine, and the scars that had been like shackles on her were gone as if they had evaporated.

“This…?”

“I feel responsible for these scars. They needed to be removed.”

Could they really disappear so easily like this?

Catherine shed tears uncontrollably.

But the emotions contained in those tears were different from sadness.

“Hmm, and by any chance, have you found a good job? Actually, my fiancée needs a trustworthy personal assistant. As the count’s dedicated assistant, you will receive the title of a baronet and with a generous salary…”

“I’ll do it… No, I’ll gladly accept. Just leave it to me.”

“Haha, great. Then my mind will be at ease.”

To Adrian, who didn’t know that Catherine had once harbored affection for him, it might have seemed like an annoying proposal. Anyway, she had never hoped for romantic feelings from him in the first place.

Given the disparity in their social status, her feelings were closer to admiration than love.

“Let’s live with a smile from now on.”

“Yes!”

Since that day, Catherine had given up her habit of avoiding other people’s gazes. However, as she regained her original self, she found Aricia annoying. Unfortunately, Catherine was a person who often nagged.

***

[The Territory War between Lord Lawrence and the four viscounties ended after just one day.]

[At first, everyone expressed concern about the unreasonable territorial war application, but the subsequent response was unexpected.]

[Revenge that had been meticulously planned from start to finish. Would Lord Lawrence’s blade turn to someone else once again?]

[The moment Lord Adrian Lawrence was given a proper military force, the outcome was almost certain. Some nobles expressed concerns to the royal family, wondering if the permission for this Territory War was somewhat unreasonable.]

[Although it ended in the blink of an eye, it was still a Territory War. What would become of the territories that were defeated?]

The Revolt of the Poisoned Silver Spoon!
{└ Metaphor for the nouveau riche.}

└ I originally disliked nobles a lot, but strangely, this person seems okay. Is it because he’s a poisoned silver spoon? LOL

– Kya, I’m enjoying watching Lord Adrian these days.

└ It’s really refreshing. Indirect satisfaction. LOL

– How is Lord Lawrence’s territory? Is it worth moving there?

└ It hasn’t changed much from the time of the King’s decree. It seems like he couldn’t pay much attention due to the Territory War.

└ But Lord Adrian said that he would create the best territory for commoners in the Reinhart Kingdom.

└ There are many companies he has acquired this time. Expect an increase in jobs.

└ Somehow, it seems like a lot of commoners will come in. I’ve never seen a noble who communicates with commoners like this.

“I’ve never seen a noble so popular with commoners.”

“I am a bit of a suck-up.”

Crown Prince Michael van Reinhart, who was looking at online articles on his terminal, let out a soft laugh and lowered the teacup he had been holding.

Then, with a sly expression reminiscent of a fox, he raised his chin.

“At first, I was surprised by his unexpected behavior. But in the end, everything turned out in our favor. To be honest, I was impressed.”

“I’m glad things worked out as planned.”

The reason the Crown Prince reacted this way was simple.

Three of these families that were my targets this time, the ‘Viscount Parma’, ‘Viscount Karma’, and ‘Viscount Ronier’, were supporters of the second prince.

The disappearance of the there viscounts is equivalent to the disappearance of one count, which means that the power of the second prince has weakened.

That’s right.

Although the Territory War application had been known to be for the purpose of revenge, it also included the goal of strengthening the power of the Crown Prince’s faction.

Even though it wouldn’t directly affect the situation, when such things accumulate, they can’t be ignored.

“In the process, I eliminated one of the families that supported you, Your Highness.”

“It can’t be helped. They committed a crime against you, right? Then they have to pay for their sins.”

In addition, he was able to refill the treasury that had been depleted through territory warfare, and he built an image as a fearsome figure even among the nobility.

It was a war that had gained a lot.

“But what about Prince Luke? Didn’t he say anything?”

“He did sound bitter. He asked if it was necessary to go to such lengths against nobles of the same faction, even if it was for revenge.”

“So?”

“I announced that Earl Brooks and Margrave Cascabel have committed the same sins as the four viscounts, and the Margrave of Raven, who is your enemy too, should also be disposed of. However, they were holding back for the sake of the Second Prince. Then, after being silent for a while, he said he would overlook this matter.”

“Hahaha!”

Philip Brooks and Isabella Cascabel were the ones who had tormented me relentlessly during my academy days.

But the blades of revenge against them would become the trigger for the second prince, so I had to put it aside for a while, along with Margrave Raven.

Well, even if it wasn’t a war, there were plenty of ways to torment them, so I would have to endure for a while.
