The Only Ending for the Evil Count Pig Is Destruction

10 – Scene 010# Ordeal(2)

*

It really couldn’t have been more difficult.

Until I arrived at the duke’s house, I couldn’t remember what the gift I had prepared was.

“Then I will talk to the Duke.”

Milliam got off the carriage and took out his watch.

ticking clock hands.

He spent his time there.

“See you here in 42 minutes. If I’m late again, I’ll go first.”

As if it was a waste of time to even listen to the answer, Milliam took the first step.

Even with a certain stride.

Are you really human?

As I was thinking about that, Isaachel’s butler approached me.

The seasoned-looking old butler greeted me.

“Welcome to. Are you the one who came to celebrate Bella’s birthday?”

I held out my left hand to him who bowed politely without a word.

To be precise, the black ring worn on the left finger.

It was an obsidian ring inlaid with a black lion, the symbol of the Ruelberta family.

If the nobles of the empire had at least one item that symbolized their family, they had at least one.

And it used to be used as a kind of identification.

However, the old butler’s expression brightened when he saw it.

“ah… ! You are from Luelberta! welcome! I was waiting for you!”

Well?

“Nice to meet you. I am Bastian, the butler of Isaac Hell. From now on, I will personally bring you to the lady.”

uhm?

The butler’s eyes even sparkled.

It was strange.

‘Even if you hear the name Ruelberta, you welcome it, let alone be wary… .’

Is there any other family that is as infamous in the Empire as Ruelberta?

Cursed from generation to generation, he can’t even use magic.

For unknown reasons, the heads of families died young.

In addition, the current head of the family, Milliam, is known as an eccentric.

Ruelberta’s name must surely be a target of vigilance.

Or is there some setting I don’t know about?

For now, I decided to follow the butler in silence.

He took me to the back of a huge mansion.

There was a beautifully manicured garden.

A garden that embraces the scenery of spring.

In the middle of that spring, I saw aristocrats my age having a tea party.

“… What are those kids doing?”

“Ah, these are the people invited to Bella’s birthday. You are enjoying dinner over there.”

Well?

Have I been invited too?

Bastien smiled and said, as if he had read my question.

“That’s the ‘waiting room’.”

“waiting room?”

“Yes. Everyone is waiting for their turn. Of course, Tristan-nim doesn’t have to go.”

I was about to ask what that meant, but I felt a gaze from behind and turned around. Some nobles in the garden were looking at me.

I could read the emotion in their eyes.

Jealousy, envy, inferiority complex, and hatred.

‘…what?’

My doubts were paused, and Bastian opened the back door of the mansion.

“Come in.”

I entered through the back door, receiving glares from various nobles.

I felt very uncomfortable because I felt like I was being treated preferentially.

But soon, I couldn’t help but open my mouth at the scene unfolding before my eyes.

‘It’s so luxurious… .’

It was like a space to welcome a special guest.

Gold plated decorations and luxurious wood furniture.

In addition, even the tiles on the floor are made of the finest stone.

I was inwardly amazed.

It was because a huge amount was appraised for my personality ‘chaebol’ and ‘calculation’.

This was the feeling of incongruity I felt from the moment I arrived at the mansion.

It wasn’t as good as Ruelberta, but it was an overly luxurious mansion.

‘This era’s Isakhel was still rich… .’

At the time I was possessed, Isakhel is a poor family that cannot show its dignity as a ducal family.

If Tristan hadn’t lent him a large sum of money, he might have disappeared long ago.

The reason Duke Fred couldn’t disobey Tristan was because of his huge debt.

Since Tristan held the breath of the duchy, he was able to force his engagement to Bella.

“Then please wait here for a moment.”

After Bastien went somewhere, I was left alone in a luxurious room.

Everything in this room was unfamiliar, but what caught my eye in particular was the pile of presents in the center.

Hundreds of gift boxes were there.

Somehow, the scenery seems to be caught in the illusion that today has become Christmas.

But today wasn’t Christmas.

Looking closely, the names of nobles were written on the gift box.

All of them were birthday presents from Bella.

It was a scene that showed the status of the duchy at this time and how many nobles had feelings for Bella.

‘Well?’

I found a torn gift box.

I inadvertently lifted the protruding contents.

It was a teddy bear whose name was not even written on who sent it.

I took the teddy bear out of the box.

It was indeed the cheapest gift out there.

+

Name: A cheap teddy bear.

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

Description: A teddy bear made of low-quality cotton and scrap fabric. It’s clunky, but babies will love it.

Appraised value: 5,000 kaels.

+

A gift too shabby and inappropriate to be given as a birthday present for a duke’s daughter.

Who the hell brought me this gift?

But my question ended there.

“I was waiting for you to die. Tristan.”

I put the teddy bear down gently and looked back.

There stood a silver-haired girl with pigtails.

“You’ve been ignoring all my private invitations, so what’s the wind blowing for you this time?”

“… I’m just here to celebrate your birthday.”

Blue eyes shining like sapphires.

Long stretched legs like a child model.

Except for the fact that she was younger, she was exactly the same as Bella Isaachel now.

No, there were differences.

“hehehe. Didn’t you use that as an excuse because you wanted to see me?”

Cuckolding Bella.

That smile was far from a flower on a cliff… .

“You are lucky. Usually, on my birthday, there are a lot of guys who don’t even get to meet me and leave me with gifts.”

It wasn’t even that of a noble saint.

“So be grateful. Because a beautiful person like me met you.”

There was just a spoiled girl who believed in something pretty and messed around with it.

Bella looked at me intently and said.

“Huh… . Seeing it up close like this is pretty cool.”

“How is it?”

“You look good. you.”

“… … .”

Ugh.

It’s kind of creepy.

To think that Bella, who usually despised me as Count Pig, would call me handsome.

It’s not enough, she’s sending me the eyes of a girl completely in love.

Only then did I realize one thing.

During this time, Bella had no ill feelings towards Tristan.

Rather, I was interested.

When I didn’t get an answer from the shock of realizing the background setting I didn’t know, Bella turned around.

“Hey, so what are you doing? Today is my birthday. Please congratulate me quickly.”

Bella extends her hand.

Even pretending is asking for a birthday present.

It wasn’t rebellious, but I didn’t feel like giving it away.

However, it was impossible to refuse even for the sake of the story.

“i get it… .”

I made up my mind and put my hands in my jacket pockets.

Then, he took it out from the tip of his finger and held it out to Bella.

Seeing its true identity, her brows narrowed.

“this… what is it?”

“It’s a blank check.”

It was the result of simple elimination.

Because this is the only thing I can give you right now.

“Do you know who asks because they don’t know!? Why are you giving this to me?”

“It is my gift.”

“… Are you kidding me?”

“I’m serious.”

Bella said as if it were absurd.

“Tristan. A gift is something given with a sincere heart.”

“Are you just giving me my true heart?”

“This is just like a bribe… !”

Hmm. Does it happen?

Annoyed, Bella tossed the check at me.

“I decline this gift. Although Ruelberta is a rich man, Isaachel is no less. Do you know what our family is? ”

I tried to answer yes, but I held back.

I felt sorry for her destined family.

No, she doesn’t know, but in fact Isaachel is already in debt.

I couldn’t bear to tell her the future that the duke’s family would barely survive with the money I lent her.

Even if you say it, she won’t believe it, and her pride will be greatly hurt.

“If you don’t like the present, there’s nothing you can do about it.”

I decided to just walk away.

I gave you a gift, but you didn’t receive it.

You can beat it like this.

But Bella spoke in a triumphant manner.

“Whoops. Do not lie. Do you think I didn’t see it?”

“… … ?”

As I tilted my head, Bella lifted up the teddy bear she touched earlier with a knowing expression.

“I am very disappointed. Tristan. Did you hide it because it was shabby to give as a gift to me? Well, if it’s something like this, no one will think it’s a gift from the count’s family.”

“… … .”

I couldn’t answer anything.

Because I really have nothing to say.

But Bella seems to like the way I look.

“Are you embarrassed? It’s really cute. Tristan.”

Bella puts her hand on my cheek.

I got goosebumps.

It was something I couldn’t have imagined with Bella’s current attitude.

No, actually Bella wasn’t weird.

It is because Tristan in his childhood was a boy with demonic charm.

Looking at the wall clock, I said.

“It’s about time. I’ll just go back.”

I wanted to leave this place even for a moment.

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

Dealing with childhood Bella, who had this princess disease, was very hard.

However, Bella unexpectedly let it go.

“like. whooping… . I saw a lot of good things about Tristan today, so I’ll let you go.”

That cute smile on her face was like the childhood of Bella Isaachel, a peerless beauty.

I shrugged and turned around and walked away.

Then, Bella asked me on the back of my head.

“By the way, what’s the name of this teddy bear?”

Of course I never thought of it.

I tried to name anything in moderation, but something strange happened.

As if enchanted, only one name lingered in my head.

I uttered that name.

“It’s Dmitry.”
