Everyone's Man (4)

sooner or later.

It's time for the party to start.

Roman's appearance was completely different from that of the day.

During the day, he was covered in dust from work in the mine and spent time with Chris at the training ground right before the party, but he appeared neat and polite at the party.

The long-awaited appearance of Roman. When they saw Roman walking into the party hall, the people who had been talking until now held their breath.

"Master Roman Dmitry enters."

Roman.

He looked around and greeted people.

There was no harsh look.

Because this party was hosted for him, Roman knew how to act as the party's protagonist.

on such a look.

Noble women who were rejected during the day showed interest.

"Roman, why did you go there during the day? I just wanted to talk a little bit before the party."

"I had just finished my work, so I had no choice but to act like that because I was shabby. I hope you can understand my desire to look good even a little bit."

"Ah, that was the reason."

Was it because he liked Roman's answer?

From then on, everyone laughed at whatever Roman said.

The intention was clear.

It was to somehow make a connection with Roman, and at some point Roman's surroundings were filled with women.

among them.

Sylvia's presence stood out the most.

"You certainly seem like a great person. The heir of a noble family, working directly with the mine workers. My father always said that we should live longing for learning with a low attitude, but like Roman, it was difficult for me to put it into practice. If I had someone like Roman as my spouse, wouldn't it be possible for me to be different while learning from seeing and learning a lifelong companion?"

It was a blatant word.

The people around them looked at them in check, but Sylvia didn't care at all.

she was pretty

He knew his appearance very well, and he learned from experience that if he touched his appearance first, he would usually lose his mind.

It wasn't a bad way.

If it wasn't for Roman, who was not shaken by the beauty of Flora Lawrence, the most beautiful woman in the northeast, that method would have worked.

"Thanks for the undeserved praise."

just that much.

Roman ended the conversation with a laugh.

He kindly accepted questions from all directions, but never allowed more distance between men and women.

how much time has passed

Roman, who had been tormented by women for a long time, secretly escaped the party hall and took a breath.

That was then.

From behind, a familiar voice was heard.

"Are you good at acting?"

The owner of the voice approaching.

Looking down, a familiar face was looking up at Roman.

she's right

It was Flora Lawrence.

There was no such kindness as just now.

In a place where no one was watching, Roman put down the kindness that had been covering his face and spoke coldly.

"It was a necessary action."

"It's surprising. I thought you didn't care about the relationships between people."

"It would normally have been. But this party was hosted by the Lawrence family for me, and my parents and their guests are watching. This means that, apart from your usual behavior, it is a place that requires minimal courtesy. And, to say that it was surprising, when I first met you, it was the same as it is now."

When I first met Flora.

Roman was dressed in robes.

Thinking that the smell of blood on his body was not polite to the other person, he even sprayed a terrible perfume and went out.

Roman was such a person.

Even though he seemed to be acting like an innocent person, he showed appropriate behavior when necessary.

Flora said.

"I thought it was. Rather, I was not polite."

in her memory.

Roman was a man of integrity.

During the arranged marriage, he kept his manners until the end, and after he announced the breakup of the marriage, he started interfering with it.

Come to think of it, it was his fault.

Roman tried to keep the right line as shown at the party, but Flora trampled it on and ruined their relationship.

consistent person.

So I was more curious.

How the hell did Roman live, so his own standards were so firm?

"But why are you working with the miners? Others think it's part of the successor class, but I've heard that there is no such thing as a successor class. Even if it's a blacksmith, there's no reason for Baron Dmitry to send his son to the mines.

Flora's question.

Normally I wouldn't have answered.

However.

As she remembered her appearance on the battlefield, Roman wanted to tell her thoughts at least once.

"How do you think Lawrence got to where he is today?"

" Yes?

"People often think that Lawrence was revived with crops that came from fertile soil, but that is not the case. Lawrence is a family that has succeeded in commerce. They knew how to use their crops, and sold or bartered them to create what they are today. I heard that Viscount Lawrence's younger brother also used that talent to succeed as a merchant in the capital.

surprised.

Lawrence's origins.

Few people knew for sure.

In fact, even Flora, not long ago, thought that fertile land was all Lawrence had.

"What does that matter?"

"I thought that the forge, and furthermore the iron mine, was the foundation of Dmitry. Dmitry would not have been as successful as he is today if it had not been for the miners who go out to the iron mines every day and dig iron ore in dust. So, Dmitry wanted to fully understand the land. I think it's the duty of at least one with Dmitry's surname, regardless of Margo's issue of inheriting this land. If there comes a situation where I, like Dmitry's people, face one problem. I am sure that time in the mines that others do not understand will be of great help in understanding and empathizing with them."

Roman's voice was firm.

as if it was absolutely necessary.

Seeing her asserting herself, Flora lost her words for a moment.

" Ah.

"Time is running out. I'll just go."

The conversation ended with that.

Roman Dmitry turns around without any regrets.

Flora looked at it and felt as if she had been hit in the head hard.

Really.

Roman threw her into a swamp of thoughts every time they met.

Recently.

People called Roman Dmitry the man of all men.

Dmitry's reputation for being a jerk sank to the bottom of the water, and everyone looked up to him with greed.

if.

If you were in Roman's position.

Can you work in a mine with that kind of thinking in a situation where you receive praise from those around you?

'No, I wouldn't have been able to.'

man is like that

The sweet gullibility theory makes the brain melt softly, and even the most diligent person will try to enjoy reality from some point on.

Especially if it's a man of all sorts like Roman. Even if you accept women's dash and play promiscuity, people will not consider it a fault.

By the way.

Roman was different.

He wasn't drunk on victory, nor did he enjoy reality.

As soon as the war was over, he grabbed a pickaxe and headed to the mine, and while others enjoyed the festival, the hero of the war silently dug up iron ore while covered in dust.

What kind of thinking do you have to live to act like that?

Even Flora didn't waste time, but still, seeing Roman made me feel ashamed.

'He's a great guy.'

It was respectful.

I wanted to be imitated.

Aside from the fact that he was a selfish human being, Roman himself was a perfect fit for her ideals.

suddenly.

Flora remembered what her father had said.

" From now on, live for your dreams. I will not repeat the mistake of dropping your value to the ground, and I am ready to support whatever you want."

Viscount Lawrence.

Not as Flora as Lawrence's flower.

I wanted to live as Flora Lawrence.

The words that they promised to support me in whatever way have now filled Flora's head.

'What is my dream?'

no matter what you think

There was no clear dream.

But one thing is certain, while watching Roman's progress, there is one thing I want to achieve.

'I want to be strong. So that other factions can never again take over Lawrence's territory. Rather than entrusting Lawrence's safety to others, I want to overcome those dangers by becoming stronger myself. That's the goal I want.'

made a decision

A firm dream.

Even after the war ended, my head, which had wandered for a while, finally cleared up and it felt like everything was in order.

Flora left.

There was no reason to stay at the party any longer.

A being named Roman Dmitry.

Now there was no reason to hold onto her ankles.

a few days after that.

As it was later revealed, Flora left Lawrence and headed for the capital.

plants in the greenhouse.

It was the moment Lawrence's flower finally left the greenhouse and went out into the world.

* * *

Time has passed.

after a fortnight.

When the destruction of the Barco family was now known to everyone, there was a visitor to Dmitry's smithy.

"Hendrick! Hendrick!"

What's up?

"What happened? We stopped by for a drink together."

The man with a dwarf physique looked nervously at Hendrick as he left the forge and smiled.

in the bottle in his hand.

Hendrick salivated.

Since it was lunchtime, Hendrick hurriedly removed the items from the tree trunk that could be used as a table.

"After all, you're the only one who understands my heart, Jacob."

right?

the man's name.

It was Jacob.

He oversees the mine, pours alcohol into Hendrick's glass and drank it himself.

"Ugh, kill it."

"How are you doing today?"

"It's the same as usual. No matter how much I dig this iron mine, I can't see the end. We've only developed the first part of the mountain yet, so the Dmitry family won't run out of iron mines for hundreds of years. Cancer, not like that. The life of this Jacob, who has been a miner all his life, can be certain of that."

Hendrick and Jacob.

The two pillars of Dmitry often spent the same time as now.

In the midst of working hard every day, taking a break to have a drink was like sweet rain.

how much did you drink

Hendrick put down his glass and asked in a soft voice.

"By the way, Roman Dmitry. How is her condition? A week ago, there was a lot of talk about Roman Dmitry working in an iron mine, but the fortress is a little quiet, isn't it? Have you ever quit your job?"

"Oh, Roman?"

Jacob chuckled.

He took another drink and said with a funny face.

"Don't talk. Far from quitting my job, I've never missed a job. At first, everyone was reluctant to see Roman Dmitry because they did not know his intentions, but now, there is no miner who hates Roman, right?"

Really?

Hendrick's eyes widened.

Miners are as proud of themselves as blacksmiths.

But how do all these outcasts like Roman?

"What the hell happened in the iron mines?"

last full moon.

There was a lot going on in Dmitry's iron mine. UnknownJuly 8, 2021 at 3:25 AM

I hope Flora will just be a friend or ally. I don t want them to develop in a romantic relationship. She s great and all but for once I want her to have Roman as an inspiration not a love interest. ????

If a person does not act out of self-interest, then what will they act out of? This is especially funny that it s coming from Flora, who initiated the break up out of self-interest and now regrets that he s basically her ideal type.

I think Sophia Grisel will be the waifu but we ll have to wait and see since there are more characters to be introduced and Roman will no doubt travel to the capital as well in the future.

I m looking forward to the development of Flora. As she is maturing, the reader s opinions of her will change, and they will bite their tongues because of the past comments they ve made about her character. She s regarded as the most beautiful girl of the North East, and admits to herself that she gushed at all their praises, but now she sees her error. She wants to redefine herself because of Roman s powerful influence.

ReplyDeleteRepliesNSeptember 21, 2021 at 7:19 PM

Ill take the most beautiful woman from east west or south anytime. Flora arrogance is just too much. Roman is even cold to her cos she keeps appearing and interfering as if they have special relationship before just because they were engaged. Shes clingy in a different way with a pretex of i wanted to be like him . personally, i dont want to see her anymore i hope her POVs end in this arc. Id rather read each POV of the 30 recruited knights.
