Margrave’s Bastard Son was The Emperor Chapter 24

Episode 24. Nersarn

“Three, oh my! What is the Cheonryeo tribe doing here? … ?”

That was something Ian was curious about too. How on earth did the Cheonryeo tribe arrive here? Isn’t it a distance of three full days to drive from their station to the Bratz territory? I certainly wouldn’t have driven Kusile for trivial reasons.

‘It seems like a sudden visit.’

If it was a scheduled meeting, there is no way Hannah wouldn’t have known about it. They must have been busy welcoming guests since the day before.

Ian noticed the Cheonryeo tribe’s gaze directed towards me.

“I’m looking this way.”

“Keuuk… … .”

Beric just groaned loudly from behind. They whispered something among themselves, and then split in two. The person who appeared to be the leader passed through the main gate and entered the main building, and his subordinates approached Ian.

“Oh, here it comes! “It comes this way!”

It was natural for Bratz Young Ji-min to react like Hae-na.

Enemies with whom there has been an ambiguous truce for a long time, unknown beings, and barbarians with transcendent power. I couldn’t hide my embarrassment, fear, and excitement.

“Hannah. “There is no need to make a fuss.”

“But they are from the Cheonryeo tribe! “Bird, why is the bird so big?”

“You came this far without any disturbance. “There will be no hostility.”

While Hannah was being reassured, the Cheonryeo tribe man looked around.

“Excuse me?”

The man who came closer looked down at Ian from above Kusile. The sharp eyes without double eyelids are truly intimidating. They looked at Ian’s hair and features obsessively.

“Are you Ian, Count Bratz’s second son-in-law?”

“That’s right. “Who are you?”

Hannah quietly hid behind Ian. For someone from the outskirts, he spoke Bariel quite fluently.

“I came here because I have an urgent letter to deliver from the Cheonryeo tribe. “I think I need to see you with the Count. I would like you to go up with me now.”

This is a letter to be delivered urgently.

Considering that he is requesting Ian’s companionship, it must be related to peacemaking. Ian winked at Hannah and made her nod.

“When training is over, give Beric some fruit and cool water.”

At the same time, Beric’s face crumpled. It meant that training should continue even if the person is not there.

“Hey Ian! Ian!”

Sure enough, servants came out of the main house and called for Ian. He left Cheonryeoin behind and went up to Derga’s office. In a very chaotic atmosphere, the butler was folding his hands in embarrassment.

“father. “Did you call me?”

“Come closer.”

The leader who entered the main building earlier was sitting on the sofa. There were countless large wounds below the nape of his neck.

Derga held Ian’s shoulder with a most benevolent smile.

“Ian. Say hello. This is Nersarn, the messenger of the Cheonryeo tribe. He is the younger brother of Chieftain Khakan Tir.”

The count’s hands were full of strength. Chae-geun told him to come to his senses. Wasn’t everything we’ve done so far just practice to show off to these people?

“It is an honor to meet you. “This is Ian Bratz.”

Jet black eyes looked Ian up and down. He immediately responded by folding his hands as if praying. It was the etiquette of the Cheonryeo tribe.

“Balamay Chin Nersarn.”

“But what’s going on?”

Derga, perhaps because he didn’t trust Ian, quickly intervened. The car hadn’t even come out yet, but Nersarn answered regardless.

“We need to coordinate the reconciliation schedule.”

It’s straight forward, without going round and round. It may have been because of their nature, but it also meant that the situation was urgent.

“Chief Yunchen’s health has suddenly deteriorated. He is old and has no chronic illness, but this is the first time he has been sick in bed. “Only God knows what the future holds, so I will do everything I can to prepare.”

This is because of the funeral customs of the Cheonryeo people. When a family member died, they went into seclusion for a year to pray to God for rest, and when the leader died, all the tribe members had to join together.

Until now, the deaths of chieftains were due to rebellions, so those who were driven out of their positions were not treated with respect and the ceremony was held only among family members.

But what about the tribal chief named Yun Chen?

It was the origin of the Cheonryeo tribe that even Derga could not tell when she began. If you stay in seclusion as a group, of course, peace events are also impossible. Because of this, there was a rush to coordinate the date.

‘Even considering that it is enemy territory, the chief’s younger brother deserves to come.’

“Are you saying we’re moving the timing forward?”

“exactly.”

Tribal leader Yun Chen was a gypsy who could tell lies. As a new peace offering came into the community, they tried to use their abilities to cover up Ian’s impurity.

“So, I would like to ask the Count and Ian for their understanding. “I would appreciate it if you thought of it as consideration for peace.”

Since I was asking for a favor, I used polite words, but the nuance was quite ambiguous. Isn’t this a half-threat that if you refuse, there will be no peace, and instead of peace, you will smell blood again?

Derga asked, hiding his displeasure by clearing his throat.

“There is only a month and a few days left. How much do you want to pull?”

“I hope we proceed in as simple a manner as possible.”

Nersarn added that even the next weekend is possible.

Instead of answering, the Count chose to remain silent for a moment. If this were to happen, it would be quite difficult, and Lord Molin had to be sent up to the center immediately to proceed with the registration.

‘There’s nothing I can do if I can’t make it on time… … .’

There is no choice but to make peace first.

Since registration is a paper process anyway, it was an issue that had nothing to do with the Cheonryeo tribe. They will wonder if Ian has Derga blood in him, and they will listen to Winchen’s words more than hundreds of documents.

“… “Aren’t you tired after running for several days?”

“It’s okay. “This much.”

“You might be, but you wouldn’t be Kusile?”

When you return to the Great Desert, you have to run through a sandstorm again. It was clear that it would be quite a difficult schedule for Kusile, who was exhausted.

“How about we stay overnight today and leave tomorrow morning?”

It meant that the answer would be given at that time. For Derga, the right thing to do was to discuss this matter with Lord Molin and then set a date.

Nersarn’s brow furrowed slightly at the hesitant answer, but that was all.

“… “Thank you for your kindness.”

“what. This is natural for a friend of a friend. butler! “Give the room to the guests!”

The butler who was waiting outside suddenly came in and guided the guests. As Ner Sarn and his men left the office, Ian looked back at Derga. He was lost in thought, chewing the tips of his fingernails.

‘Is it something to worry about so much? ‘That’s surprising.’

Confirmation of registration can only be issued at the Imperial Palace, so even if you apply now, it will take time. Since the date was changed first by the Cheonryeo people, it is okay to give it to them late.

Preparations for the peace ceremony must have just begun. What is important is the agreement itself, so if the intention is right, it could be done right away, as Nersarn said, over the weekend.

‘It doesn’t seem like they’re trying to achieve anything.’

There is no room. The list of exchanges has already been decided, and if Yun Chen dies, there is no way to know what will happen to the peace relations immediately. In this case, it was beneficial in many ways for Derga to cooperate as much as possible. Wouldn’t that give you an upper hand in later transactions?

“father?”

Ian called him. This is because his fingernail picking has become increasingly severe. The question seemed more curious than worrying. The count suddenly came to his senses at the sound of the child’s voice.

“… “Are you out yet?”

“I was wondering if I should also entertain guests.”

Isn’t it only when there is word to go out?

Derga waved his hand at Ian’s words. It meant that you should stay in your room and not make a fuss.

“Nersarn is the chief’s favorite younger brother. “I’m not an ordinary person, so don’t be rude to me.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

“Is there anyone outside?”

“yes. master.”

“Get the carriage ready! hurry!”

Derga shouted, picking up his coat. It seems like she wants to run straight to Lord Molin and share the situation.

Ian turned and glanced at the office door. The ensuite bedroom is still locked tightly. Now that the position of aide is vacant, it will be hectic in many ways.

‘The timing is amazing.’

If there had been more time, Lord Moline would have returned to the capital without receiving the report. Somehow I felt like I was receiving God’s protection.

When Ian came out with a faint smile, he saw Beric stretched out. Hannah was fanning herself next to him.

“young master! Have you seen everything? “What on earth is going on?”

“It’s no big deal. I think the date of the peace ceremony will change. “Did you just finish the garden?”

“You wouldn’t know it if you saw it? I’m dying, damn it! Wow… … .”

“That Cheonryeo clan, you won’t be staying in the mansion for long, right? “I was guided by the deacon earlier and went across to the separate building.”

Hannah chirped without stopping fanning herself. Not only can she not have strangers in the main house, but recently, something unpleasant has happened in her office. On the other hand, the outbuildings had numerous rooms for welcoming guests. I was probably assigned to Ian’s upstairs.

‘Surveillance will be fierce.’

Soldiers will stand guard all night long surrounding the building. Still, if Ian wanted to, he could have made enough contact. Anyway, they are the target of ‘reconciliation’. It is impossible to have a guard stationed right in front of the door.

“young master. Should I talk to the butler and ask him to change my room just for today?”

Hannah asked worriedly. They seem very uneasy about having to share a building with the Cheonryeo tribe. Ian shook his head and smiled at her.

“It is done. Because these are the people I will be staying with from now on. Beric, come to your senses and follow me. Hannah, now do your thing.”

Beric staggered to his feet at the firm command. Ian, who was watching quietly, grabbed his forehead and pushed his magic into him.

Jiying-

“I told you to come to your senses.”

“shit. Give me a bottle and give me medicine… … .”

“Think of it as a stick and a carrot.”

Tsk! Beric spat bitterly and barely got to his feet. Gradually, my gait became normal. As he entered the annex building, he could hear the anxious chatter of the occupants.

“Did you see it? “It was much bigger than I thought!”

“That’s why it’s said that even if 15 soldiers rush in, it’s not okay. Ugh. “It’s like an animal.”

“What kind of food will we serve? “The deacon didn’t say anything, right?”

“Since they are barbarians, if I give them raw meat, won’t they eat it on their own?”

Ignorant or evil?

Ian clicked his tongue and pretended to be happy. The servants greeted Ian without much surprise.

‘That’s ignorance.’

“I heard you had a guest, right?”

“There was no suitable room, so I took you upstairs, Master. “Please sleep in the main house today.”

“Or should I tell you to keep watch?”

“You must sleep with the door locked!”

Ian instructed, trying to keep it out of one ear.

“Okay, prepare simple snacks and wine carefully and serve them. “This is not a meal, so there is nothing to tell the butler.”

Because it hit like the wind, I couldn’t even serve a cup of tea in the office. This is an unacceptable manner for a noble to treat a guest who has been coming for several days. Derga said not to even come close, but Ian had no intention of doing so.

smart.

“This is Ian Bratz. Excuse me.”

“… “Please come in.”

I entered the room with servants carrying trays. They all stood there like caged animals. The servants hesitantly set the food on the table.

“You must be hungry since you came so far, so please eat at least. Because it is a sudden visit, everyone is a little slow in preparing. “Please understand.”

Nersarn came closer to Ian’s greeting. And he looked down from above as if he were looking at a truly amazing creature. Each side views the other as an unfamiliar beast.

“When I saw you earlier, I was surprised because you didn’t resemble the Count. “I wondered if the nobles of the great empire had different bloodlines.”

The subordinates burst out laughing at the leader’s crude joke. Nersarn neatly turned his head and winked at them. It was his signal to grab something to eat.

“But looking at him like this, he’s definitely a noble.”

It doesn’t seem like a compliment. She doesn’t seem to be treated with respect. Subtle nuances continued. Nersarn added with a smile.

“It’s a compliment. “Master Ian.”

If Derga was the one holding the leash, these were the ones holding the sword to the neck. but… … .

‘Your sword will soon become my sword.’

Ian stood face to face, smiled brightly, and then approached calmly.
