Pseudo-Villaines

The plot of Duke Cetner

Ulrich or rather Jean began his routine habit again. He came to the Lesko family mansion to teach Kalina a lesson. The youngest son of Count Lesko.

But everything changed for them. At least seven days ago, the chief knight came up to them and handed Karina's body to the Lesko family.

Seeing their lifeless daughter, they were all in shock. Count Lesko was furious. Even he did not hesitate to punch the face of the knight head hard. Wife's in shock. She was hysterical and passed out and woke up the next day to become hysterical again.

And among them, the most distressed over Karina's death was her sister, Kalina.

During this time, Karina became the sun for Kalina. When her parents and two older brothers are absent to provide warmth, Karina is present to give her affection for Kalina.

No matter how busy Karina is, she still takes the time to spend with her sister. Hence, Karina's death was truly a crushing blow to Kalina.

Ulrich sighed. Although Kalina remained stubborn in order to keep her studying, Ulrich knew that Kalina was still mourning. He just kept quiet. His face looks so glum.

Ulrich knew the exact cause. Kalina had nowhere to cry. Come on, who can he count on? Her mother was still hysterical while her father's anger had not subsided. He could not possibly hug and cry in their arms. Though spoiled, Kalina is a smart girl. He understands his family's condition.

"Alright, let's just end today's lesson, Miss Kalina. You should rest. I'm afraid you'll get sick."

Hearing Ulrich's words, Kalina hurriedly raised her head and shook her head.

"N-no! Let's just go ahead, Ulrich! I can still take lessons.... Taps!"

Before Kalina could finish her words, Ulrich placed her palm on Kalina's head. This is clearly disrespectful. But Kalina didn't mind. There was a comfortable sensation when Ulrich started stroking his head.

"No need to force yourself, miss. Thank you for fighting your grief. But the lady must rest."

Kalina kept shaking. Oh, my God, this kid is so stubborn. Ulrich took Kalina into his arms. At first the girl was struggling. A few moments later, however, it calmed down. After a few moments, he started crying.

"U-uwaaahhh! Brother!! Uuu.... Why did you leave me!? Didn't you promise to come back! Hix... Hicks...."

Her tears washed Ulrich's clothes. Patently, he continued to pat Kalina's head gently. He also stroked the girl's back, giving her warmth.

"Kalina.... You don't have to hold back. Crying is a human reaction to losing someone you love. It's okay, cry until you're satisfied. It's a sign that you don't stop being human."

Whether listening or not, Ulrich kept saying that. Kalina passed her days heavily. There was no place to express his sadness. I don't have time to cry.

"Kalina.... The world is cruel. They don't care about your brother's passing. The will of the world rejects your brother's presence.

"Kalina, your sister went to protect the people she loved. He is not there to protect you. Therefore Kalina, in order for the will of the world to follow your will, you must become strong.

Kalina remained in tears for a long time, then fell asleep. His heart had already become lighter thanks to Ulrich.

He carried Kalina in a sling of the princess and carried her out of the study. Outside of Jakob already stand by. He gave Kalina to the old servant.

"Kalina is exhausted. Please let him rest. I may not have the right to say this. Please, take care of Kalina."

The old servant said nothing. He only gave a small nod and took Kalina away to the girl's room.

Duke Cetner calls his five men who were involved in the tragedy in the frontier forest. They had already gathered in the secret room that was in Duke Cetner's domain.

"I'll give you your next mission."

Duke Cetner then explained what they had to do. As usual, they simply remained silent and listened to Duke Cetner ramble.

At most they just nodded. That'sthat's all. It was only when Duke Cetner finished explaining, that all five of them went out of the room of Duke Cetner who was satisfied with the cold look.

"As usual, the five people looked extremely reliable. Where'd you find them all, Count Krzys?"

Duke Cetner spoke to a man in his early 40s who was standing on the other side. Jedrick Krzys, that's his name. The current head of the Krzys family.

"Well, it was through a tough effort. Clearly, they were people from the eastern Akkadian region. They came from an organization that was on the verge of collapse.

"They seem intent on rebuilding their organization. I used it for our victory while promising that we would give them space and funds to grow. Well, although in the end, we had to kill a lot of people in Krakov city for their offerings anyway."

Jedrick Krzys smiled wryly. Taking them to be on Duke Cetner's side costs a lot. But the result is worth it. They're very useful.

"Well, whatever. Obviously, we will move from now on. I think the power we've accumulated is enough, right? What else are we going to the arrival of a new ally soon."

They both laughed a little. Benas Cetner poured a wine into his golden cup. He also poured wine into a silver cup and gave it to Jedrick Krzys.

"For the glory of Warsaw!"

"For the glory of Warsaw!"

Both toast. Soon, the Mietzsko family and its supporters will be eliminated and the Cetner family will become the new rulers of the Warsaw kingdom.
