“I will give you my life if you will teach Margrave Sir Damian Cayenne the multi-mana heart.”

“…yes?”

“I offer to live.”

“….”

Margrave Alkantar Asrahan kept his mouth shut.

He was a strong-willed warrior from birth. He picked up a sword before he could even walk, and has spent his entire life fighting with the sword.

However, despite this, he was not a simple warrior who only knew the sword single-mindedly. The position of head of the family gave him the inevitable political skills and tact that came with it. Without that, I couldn’t lead the Marginal Army.

And now, the political sense and tact that had been honed over the years have taken him by surprise.

“Your Majesty, what you said sounds like you are saying that the curse engraved in my veins will be erased through your medical techniques, so I should show you the art of Manahat instead. Is that correct?”

“that’s right. “It’s nice that the Encyclopedia talks quickly.”

Rachiel smiled brightly, her eyes sparkling. In fact, he had chosen(?) an ambiguous and provocative word to gauge the Margrave’s reaction. This tone was deliberately chosen harshly. It means offering to live. It was to test whether the margrave could truly understand the hidden meaning behind it.

‘Luckily, he’s a person with better senses than I expected.’

know how things are working around.

Be careful.

This makes the story easier. Because it means that it is worth trusting and working together.

Rachiel said with inner satisfaction.

“It is as you said, Margrave. A curse placed on your family? I don’t think it’s just a curse. It’s a disease. “If we identify the cause and explore treatments, it can be corrected with human power.”

“….”

“So, how about we negotiate with each other? “I will cure your heart disease and you will teach the art of Multi Manahat to Lord Kayen here.”

“….”

“How about it?”

Rachiel looked at the Margrave intently. I almost expected the answer to be ‘yes’.

But that was then.

The Margrave’s brow furrowed visibly.

“I understand what you mean. But I don’t like it.”

“…what?”

“I’ll be honest with you.”

The margrave is staring at us. Although the minimum level of courtesy was demonstrated, the emotion buried beneath it was a clear sense of repulsion. Or something that resembles some kind of burning anger.

The Margrave spoke clearly, as if he was weighing those feelings down one by one.

“I dare to tell you again that Multi Manahat is a unique art engraved in our family, and the third emperor of our ancestors promised us the right to protect it.”

“I understand that…”

“No. “You don’t know.”

“What?”

“If Your Highness really knew that, you wouldn’t have even thought of using our family’s skills as a negotiating tool.”

“….”

What does the Margrave want to say? Or rather, what did the third emperor of the Hwang family promise the Asrahan family to cause such a strong reaction?

‘What on earth happened?’

Rakiel searched for memories.

However, nowhere in the novel Demon Sword Emperor is there any mention of the affair between the third emperor and the Asrahan family. Even something similar didn’t come out. So I don’t know. There is no way to know.

So it would be best to keep your mouth shut.

‘When the situation is ambiguous, let’s not react carelessly.’

He recalled numerous experiences from the past. When I was running an oriental medicine clinic, the main customers there were elderly people. There were quite a few decent people. However, there were quite a few people with distorted personalities.

I didn’t understand at first.

How can someone have such a twisted personality despite being so old? Why do you treat people so rudely? Why is he so confident even though he throws a tantrum like a three-year-old child? There were days when I was so frustrated and angry that I drank soju in the evening.

Then at what point did it start?

I came to a small realization.

Elderly people with twisted personalities. I was automatically equipped with the best way to deal with them. That was to ‘examine the situation while refraining from reacting as much as possible.’

The method was better than I thought. While avoiding needlessly irritating the elderly, I was able to gain time to understand their tastes(?). It was mainly time to find the magic word to soothe the elder’s anger.

‘In most cases, the answer is simpler than you think. I just got bloated after waiting for treatment for about 5 minutes. Or, he was upset after getting into a fight with his son and his wife at home.’

Once those aspects were figured out, the next process was easy. Because I just needed to appease that part. All you had to do was show that you understood your desire for your dissatisfaction to be recognized.

Then, even the elders would change their attitude in a surprising way.

The situation seemed similar even now.

‘I don’t know what happened between the previous emperor and these people. So let’s just stay still for now. Let’s take a look at the situation.’

Rachiel, who had decided on a response, remained silent. Was it thanks to that? The Margrave, who seemed to have been waiting for a while for a reply or reaction from this side, spoke in a slightly flushed tone, perhaps feeling embarrassed.

“It is a right that we managed to obtain by giving up some of the shabby legal principles. However, His Highness the Crown Prince is telling us to put that right on the negotiating table.”

“….”

“The right to maintain one’s craft cannot be negotiated. I have no intention of doing so. “Your Majesty is clearly crossing a line.”

“….”

Was it something like that?

Rachiel internally sighed as she looked at the margrave’s reddened expression. It was a good thing I didn’t respond carelessly. It was a right obtained by giving up some of the shabby legal principles. After hearing this, I fully understood why the Margrave was so angry.

‘It is said that the Asrahan practice was created by Javiel Asrahan, the founder of this family. It later flowed into the royal family and became the royal family’s unique spiritual law.’

It finally reached us. However, I did not know what happened to the Asrahan family that originally had this mentality. No, actually, I wasn’t interested.

Perhaps the Margrave’s anger was due to their indifferent attitude.

“I’m sorry. sincerely.”

“….”

Was this apology unexpected? The Margrave paused. Rachiel did not miss that opportunity.

“You are right. I crossed the line. I completely understand why you are so upset. It must have felt like they were holding your family’s unfortunate disease hostage and demanding that you give up your rights. No, strictly speaking, I really did that. “Admit it.”

“What…”

“But. “Aren’t you the head of the family?”

“…What do you want to say?”

“Health and happiness of family members.”

“….”

The Margrave closed his mouth.

Rachiel said calmly.

“I can try. At least we can look into your and Gasol’s hearts to find the real cause of the disease and research a cure. Of course, I cannot guarantee that the treatment will be successful. “It is a clear deception and fraud.”

“majesty.”

“So give it to me. Multi Manahart. Then I will give you and the rest of your family a chance to become healthy.”

“But Your Highness.”

“know. “I’m angry.”

“…yes?”

“Be angry.”

“What are you saying…”

“I won’t blame you if you blame me and get angry. Because, as I said a moment ago, I crossed the line. No matter who you are dealing with, when you cross the line, you have to be prepared to pay the price. So it’s okay. “I am prepared to hear complaints from you.”

“….”

The Margrave began to look at us with a strange look.

Anyway, Rachiel honestly said what she had to say. Sincerity? It didn’t even include anything like that. Appeal to emotion? I had no intention of doing so.

What I want to bring up now is a cool-headed diagnosis of reality and the benefits we can both gain from it. Where can there be a more honest conversation than that?

‘Especially if it concerns the patient’s health.’

Rather, persuasion that appeals to emotions and sincerity becomes deception. At least he thought so. So, I continued to persuade him as coolly and dryly as possible.

“So, why don’t you also make up your mind?”

“What kind of resolution are you talking about?”

“I am prepared to be criticized by family members and descendants.”

“….”

“You can gain a lot by negotiating with me and giving up some of your rights for a while. Your own health? “If that’s the case, I won’t persuade you like this.”

“Are you saying you can heal the hearts of our entire family?”

“I didn’t say it could be fixed. “I said I would take that opportunity.”

“….”

“So, think about it carefully as the head of the Margrave Asrahan family, not as just one person, Alkantar Asrahan. “Because it is a negotiation that can make everyone happy if I am resented by you and you are scolded by the descendants of my family.”

That’s it.

I said everything I had to say.

Rakiel, who revealed his entire business, did not hang on to the situation lazily. I got up right away. I left the living room with just one last word.

“Let’s listen to the answer slowly.”

Even the moment the door closed, the Margrave had a stern expression and did not respond. What is he thinking? There was no way to know.

What made it difficult to understand what was going on was also the expression on the boy who was in charge of guiding us here.

“Armin Asrahan of the Asrahan family meets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the only heir to this land.”

Blue-grey hair, close to silver. He must have been around 15 or 6 years old. He was a handsome boy with an unrealistically smooth appearance that could only be seen in pictorials.

“I am the grandson of Alkantar Asrahan, the head of this family, and I have been entrusted with guiding and attending to your highness. “I sincerely hope that His Majesty the Crown Prince will feel free to call me and talk to me whenever he wants or has any questions.”

“….”

This guy seems to be the type of person who plays with his lines and facial expressions. It’s not that it’s not, but unlike his harsh tone, his gaze was as cold as ice itself.

Is it simply because you have a blunt personality?

‘I don’t think so.’

Just by looking at them, you can see that their eyes are full of resentment. Otherwise, there is no way he would look at this like he would look at a hairdresser who ruined his hair, or like a top laner who got three consecutive solo kills would look at his team’s jungler.

What is the reason?

Could it be…. As

Rakiel looked at the attitude of the boy who revealed himself as the matriarch’s grandson, something suddenly occurred to him. The secret story between the third emperor of the empire and the Asrahan family. The head of the family said earlier. It is said that he ‘gave up’ some of his shabby ways of thinking.

‘That was clearly a nuance that did not mean giving up voluntarily.’

There is definitely something there. Something happened between the 3rd emperor and the Asrahan family. But I had no way of knowing what it was. Asking the head of the family directly? It wasn’t that kind of atmosphere earlier.

It was frustrating.

I needed to know what happened so I could respond accordingly or console him, but since I didn’t know anything, it was a bit too hasty to suggest something. So, when trying to persuade the Margrave, I couldn’t push as hard as I thought.

‘But just now, the perfect person to ask that has appeared right in front of me?’

Oh my, be happy.

Bam.

The rewarding smile of a hunter who found the curiosity-satisfaction button appeared on Rachiel’s lips.
