I became the sick nobelman

Chapter 76 - Money is the best! (3)

***

After checking several times to see if there were any sentinels around, he snuck into Ganien's villa.

As soon as Ruel entered the villa, he met the knights who had arrived ahead of time.

They greeted Ruel with a gloomy atmosphere.

'The morale... is enough to pierce the floor.'

—This body is uncomfortable in this atmosphere.

Ruel had similar thoughts.

It was the first time that he reflected on his pale appearance.

The mood was so serious that he wondered if he should have put makeup on to hide his drastic appearance.

"No matter who dies..."

When Noah opened his mouth, Cassion immediately hit the back of his head.

"Raise your heads!" From the back, Torto shouted loudly.

"Running away is a shameful act!"

At his words, Ruel stood still and inhaled Breath.

"But surviving is not something to be ashamed of. If you don't forget who saved your lives, if you don't forget who you faced, I don't think you need to be ashamed anymore!"

Torto made eye contact with his men one by one.

"So, raise your heads!"

The knights raised their heads one by one at Torto's sincere cry.

"Thank you! And I'm sorry!"

Ginger spat out his words like vomit.

He clenched his trembling hands.

The knights then bowed their heads, thanking and apologizing to Ruel.

That's enough.

As long as they don't forget the guilty and grateful feelings from Torto's pep talk, it was enough to count as debt from the Royal Knights.

"Don't worry about it. I didn't think too deeply about the matter."

Ruel spoke calmly and smiled at them.

In an instant, their faces contorted, and looked like they were about to burst into tears.

No matter how the story was spun, it was true that they, the knights, fled in the end.

But Ruel buried it.

He didn't ask anything, he covered it up with trivial matters.

Ruel followed the butler to the room without looking back.

Until the door was closed, the knights kept their eyes on Ruel's back.

Ttak. Ttak.

Multiple footsteps sounded in the hallway.

When Cassion held out his handkerchief, Ruel stopped and vomited blood.

Ruel was relieved to find that it was black blood.

His body, which had deteriorated due to the purification, seemed to be recovering again.

When the butler met Ruel's eyes, he was surprised.

"I-I'm sorry..."

"Don't be nervous..."

—Uh...?

Ruel stumbled in a sudden dizziness.

Cassion caught him.

"Are you okay?"

He heard from Hina that Ruel vomited red blood.
