A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood

Episode 200 – There Is Something That Must Be Done

The supreme leader of the Bregern Empire and the pinnacle of all power.

The Emperor, Antonio Henus Golon Bregerne, was sitting in his office, reading something intently.

What he held in his hand was a bundle of slightly dirty paper.

The bundle of paper Antonio was holding had small letters written on it.

The writing was so small that a person with poor eyesight would have to push his face closer to the paper to see it.

If you were to look at this for a long time, an ordinary person would feel stiff and tired in less than an hour.

However, Antonio’s spirit, which had been trained by looking at a lot of documents for a long time, was not going to be broken by just this small wad of paper.

After reading the writing on the paper in his hand for a while, Antonio was finally able to put it down on his desk.

And, there was a very satisfied smile on Antonio’s face.

“Alberto. It seems that the child perfectly carried out the secret instructions I gave him.”

Alberto, who received his secret instructions and left for the Elpario Empire, asked for a big catch.

It wasn’t just an ordinary big fish, it was asking for information that could wipe out all the traitors within the Bregern Empire.

“Are you listening?”

“I am listening. “Your Majesty the Emperor.”

At Antonio’s words, the leader of the shadow unit guarding him appeared from Antonio’s shadow

Since his mission was to protect the imperial family, including Antonio, he and his troops escorted the imperial family everywhere except private spaces.

And especially, Emperor Antonio was protected by himself, the leader of the shadow army.

“That child asked such great information.”

Antonio looked at the shadow unit leader and showed the wad of paper in his hand.

“I saw it too. If you give me the order, I will immediately move my troops and secure additional evidence.”

The shadow leader unit also saw what was written on the stack of paper.

The contents written in it were things that would cause great uproar if they were made public.

This was enough to resolve the conflict between the noble families of the Bregern Empire at once.

To that extent, the number of noble families listed in this document was significant.

“If what is written on this bundle of paper is true… The power landscape of noble families will definitely change.”

“I believe that Your Majesty’s judgment is right.”

The shadow leader unit listened to Antonio’s words and concluded that his judgment was correct.

There was more to the sheaf of paper that Alberto secured.

However, the fact that that convenience alone was enough to change the power landscape of noble families was like saying that a considerable number of groups plotting treason had already infiltrated the Bregern Empire.

There were rumors going around that there were quite a few noble families who were dissatisfied with the recent decisions of the imperial family.

This was because a family that was said to be famous felt that the emperor had been treating his family poorly recently.

The example given was the sending of Count Madern to the Elpario Empire.

Originally, it was customary for diplomat-level nobles who went to foreign countries to be dukes or marquises.

Even if you are a count-level noble, your prestige only extends within the empire to which you belong.

However, the power of marquis or duke-level nobles was so great that they could have some influence not only in their own country but also in other countries.

Considering this, Count Meydern’s visit to the Elpario Empire as a diplomatic envoy was bound to result in negative comments.

Some even speculated that the emperor was trying to weaken the power of the noble family.

“Perhaps, there had been exchanges even before His Majesty the Emperor decided to send Count Madern as a diplomatic envoy.”

“You are right. “Sending Count Madern as a diplomatic envoy was merely a catalyst.”

Through the report of the shadow unit commander, Antonio learned that the nobles’ dissatisfaction was rising to some extent from beneath the surface.

Since the cooperation of the nobles ruling each region was essential in order to run state affairs in the first place, the imperial family evenly appointed nobles divided into two factions.

However, the last time a diplomatic envoy was sent, it consisted only of nobles loyal to the imperial family, just as the emperor had intended.

This decision aroused opposition from other nobles in the loyalist and opposing factions.

And, taking advantage of that opportunity, El-Romed in the Bregern Empire began to seduce the nobles.

This bundle of paper in Antonio’s hand was the proof.

“If I explain the situation later, it will ease to some extent… “I don’t think so.”

“If so, what will you do?”

What the shadow unit leader was saying was to ask the emperor to give an order.

If he were to give the order, he would immediately move his troops, uncover the corruption of the nobles mentioned in the evidence, and gather additional physical evidence to wipe them out.

“First, let’s gather evidence. There may be some secret agents hiding among the loyalist nobles, so do not neglect monitoring the loyalist nobles.”

“All right. Your Majesty the Emperor. “I will do as you command.”

The leader of the shadow unit disappeared from the spot as soon as Antonio’s order was given.

Indeed, it was worthy of being called the last line of defense protecting the emperor at close range.

“By the way, the person who worked under the name Adalbert Raine Med is being criticized… Alberto. “I don’t know how that child feels.”

Antonio thought of Alberto, who was far away, still in a foreign country.

Even when other noble children were going to the academy and happily burning their youth, he went far and was loyal to his country.

“Once it becomes clear that this guy’s level has surpassed that of a sword master, it’s not a waste of a duke’s title.”

He even learned swordsmanship directly from the great hero ‘Tarun’.

Didn’t he also learn swordsmanship from Tarun and reach the level of a sword expert?

His friend Dittorio rose to the level of sword master

However, Alberto, who had reached the level of a sword master, was transcending the level of a sword master and pioneering new territory with Tarun.

Are we missing out on such talented people just because of political power struggles?

Antonio was not stupid enough to miss out on a talent that would help improve the empire’s national power because of trivial reasons.

Even when Alberto was attending the Royal Academy, he even considered marrying one of his daughters.

Of course, Alberto disappeared before such a plan could actually proceed, and it was confirmed that he had a lover named Nina Esselton, so there was no reason for him to have an arranged marriage.

“It would be nice if he came back quickly.”

Since the secret instructions he had given to Alberto were completed to perfection, Alberto would now be able to regain his former identity upon returning to the Bregerne Empire.

However, there was a problem that had not yet been resolved.

That was the treatment of a person named Adalbert Rainmed.

Now there is no need to use the name Adalbert Reinmede anymore.

If I was going to continue using the name Adalbert Reinmed, I had to clear up the misunderstandings people had.

“That guy will take care of it.”

Because next year I will be an adult.

Antonio thought Alberto would take care of it.

Why?

I wouldn’t know if it was a child of another noble family, but it may sound strange, but if it was Alberto, I could trust it for some reason.

I wonder if it is because of his talent that he the outstanding level of being a sword master at a young age.

Or, does he believe in his ability to carry out the secret instructions he was entrusted with to perfection?

I don’t know why, but I had faith that Alberto would finish well and come back.

“What I can do is create an environment so that the child can live comfortably.”

Antonio now has something to do.

For Alberto, who is struggling hard in a foreign country, we are creating a foundation so that he can walk on a solid path without any noise when he returns to his home country.

That was all that Antonio could do for Alberto now.

◈

The time when Antonio was planning a plan for Alberto in his office

Alberto, who had completed the emperor’s secret instructions, was waiting for someone in the reception room of Noble Academy.

“Ah, student Adalbert?”

The drawing room door opened, and the person who walked out from the other side was none other than Professor Frelda.

“Long time no see. Professor Frelda.”

There was only one reason why he was waiting for Professor Frelda here.

“I heard that there is a lot of trash that needs to be cleaned up at Noble Academy. Do you mind if I take the trash away?”

The goal was to eliminate the remnants of El-Romed who were hiding at Noble Academy.

“If you give me permission, I will just quietly take out the trash and disappear.”
