What Happened at the Social Gathering Party (3)

Roman first impression of Anthony Barco's was ordinary and he find nothing special in him

Anthony Barco's build was like of normal and he also didn't had a handsome face

"Roman! What the hell happened to you after not meeting to you for a long time!"

[ Anthony Barco's heard that Roman had changed drastically through his servent.

However, he did not bely that the change would be this dramatic, so he looked at Roman with a genuinely surprised look. ]

Roman said "I poured a lot of money to take care of my appearance, and these change in my apperence took place day by day. Anyway, nice to see you after a long time."

[ Roman spoke in a way which make them easy to talk with each other.

The light and frivolous tone way of talking was the advice from Hans, who had been observing his relationship with Anthony Barco for long time. ]

'In the secret room no one was around there living Anthony Barco alone in the room'

Roman looked around.

[ Anthony Barco, who had been enjoying a party with other noble ladies before, sent them all away when he heard that Roman had arrived.

That's why the table top was really messed up.

As if was not enough, there were many bottles of wine lying around, and to all of that Roman was able see things that were supposed to be women's underwear, it was guessed by Roman ]

Roman came to knew what kind of person Anthony Barco was and how he played in the secret room under the pretext of a social party.

But Roman did not speak about it.

As Roman dealt with the cunning serpents of the Murim, He realized that he could not always deal with them, with just the righteous method.

'Anthony Barco sent all the nobles out of the backroom when he heard I was here. That means he was not just playing here, he was doing more than that'

[ Roman laughed will thinking about Anthony Barco, he drank a glass as soon as he sat down on the chair. ]

"Wow, that's good."

[ The alcohol energy that passed through the esophagus was blown away at once.

Contrary to his appearance, Roman waited for Anthony Barco's words with calm, subdued face. ]

Information about Anthony Barco was fragmentary.

Through Hans, he could understand his tendency, but there was no way for him to find out the secret relationship between the two.

So Roman shut his mouth and waited quietly, he induced the opponent to speak first.

Anthony Barco opened his mouth.

"It's nice to see you after a long time in a positive way. In fact, even then, I was really curious what your intentions were. When you, turned away from your friendship with me and forced Lawrence Flora to marry you by an arrangement, I didn't know you were going to get that far, to get married with Flora, now you showed up in the social gathering party and the secret room.

Social Gathering Party.

The secret room.

In a situation where fragments of the truth popped out, Anthony Barco spoke with a humorous expression.

Now tell me attending this party mean that you accepted my offer? No, since you have proven your will by breaking the marriage in the first place, there is no need to ask for an answer. We'll keep it a secret, so let's talk about marriage with Barco.

Marriage to Barco.

The moment the key word was mentioned, the lock was released from Roman's mind.

The other side of memory, memories of the past have been revived.

That day.

Roman was very nervous at the thought of attending Barco's social gathering party.

"Whoa, Roman Dmitry. Don't be too nervous. He betrayed Anthony Barco and accepted an arranged marriage with Lawrence, but he can't just avoid them forever, can he? So let's take this opportunity to get our relationship back with them.

Barco's invitation.

After hesitating countless times after checking it, he finally decided to meet in person to solve the problem.

The opponent is Barco.

Because he might have to wage a war with them because of him, he wanted to solve the problem through dialogue as much as possible.

Although his father turned completely hostile to Barco from the time he pursued an arranged marriage with Lawrence, Roman Dmitry decided that there was still room for discussion in his young mind.

Like that, Roman went to the party.

Anthony Barco welcomed Roman more than expected, and as he relaxed, he drank a lot of alcohol involuntarily.

That was the problem, and the film broke.

When he woke up holding his head that was about to break from a hangover, a completely unfamiliar scene unfolded before his eyes.

There was women with the face he had never seen before.

Roman was startled and ran outside, and Anthony Barco saw it.

It was from then.

Roman's life fell in the hell.

Anthony Barco and Roman were usually promiscuous, so Roman thought it would just pass, but Anthony Barco said with a ferocious face that seemed to eat Roman at any moment.

"Roman. I'm not going to say anything about you, who is about to get married by arrangement, and play promiscuity with women. But now do you know who you touched? One of the women you were with was named Emily Barco. It's not enough that you betrayed me and married Lawrence by arrangement, you just touched Barco's woman.

Emily Barco was Barco's collateral.

From that day on, Anthony Barco threatened to use that fact as an excuse.

"Choose wisely if we expose this fact and end the marriage unilaterally, or will our relationship be re-established by marrying a direct lineal rather than Barco's collateral? I still get angry at what you did, but if you become Barco's man, I intend to contain my anger and forgive you."

[As soon as Roman came home from the party, he locked himself in his room and shouted to Hans to bring him a drink.

It was a painful day for Roman.

There where only two options, and both were the worst.

If the marriage is broken for touching Barco's collateral, Dimitry's honor will fall to the ground.

Even so, Roman Dimitry, who knew the reputation of a commoner-born family, could not bear the wrath of his father, Baron Romero, when it happened.

However, he couldn't choose the latter.

Roman loved Flora.

He fell in love with her when the first time he saw her, and asked his father, even though he knew what the family had to pay for an arranged marriage.]

[But be could not bear to inflict a disgrace of being a 'breakup woman' to the woman he truly love.]

[ He could not tolerate the situation.

Anthony Barco sent letters from time to time to pressure him, and eventually Roman committed suicide to relieve himself from the situation

He was a very weak human from the nature.

Humans who did not achieve anything properly by their own strength did not have the confidence to solve problems aline, and believed that all problems would be solved if they died. ]

[ It was also a disgrace to the Dmitry family, but it would still be better than breaking the marriage unilaterally because of his promiscuous behavior, and for Flora Lawrence he thought that bereavement was a much better option than being labeled as a divorced woman. ]

Oh yeah.

Roman was pathetic.

At the memories of the past, Roman showed a disappointing smile.

'It's a very shabby reality.'

[Reasons for suicide.

It wasn't great.

Barco performed tricks that are common in politics, and Roman, who was very weak in nature, gave up his life out of fear of his father anger and to show sincerity towards Flora.

If only Roman had trusted his father. Baron Romero would never have allowed his son to make the extreme choice of suicide.

But Roman didn't know.

Because his father loved him so much, he took on the burden by chewing the medicine.]

When I looked ahead, I saw Anthony Barco waiting there for his answer.

Dmitry's breakup.

When he first heard the news, Anthony Barco felt really good, as if he had won the whole world.

'You idiot! You really end up breaking up for something you can't even remember.'

Roman's memory.

It was different from the truth.

It's true that he woke up on the bed in the secret room, but Roman didn't touch the woman he was with.

At first, Anthony Barco was thinking of working with a his mind.

He thought that the work would be easy for Roman, who usually lived a promiscuous life, but his reaction was different than expected.

"I'm sorry, but I'm about to get married now. I have no intention of hanging out with other women in the future."

it was like

Anthony Barco's judgment got completely twisted when he heard that

So he had made a plan for him.

He made Roman get drunk and persuaded the helpless woman to act as if she had slept with Roman.

For Roman, it was an operation in which he had no choice but to admit defeated.

Anthony Barco did not know if it's someone who wasn't promiscuous in the first place, but since he was a promiscuous Roman, he firmly believed that it was his fault.

And just like that, he threatened Roman.

As planned, Roman chose to break up, and Anthony Barco knew what the finale of the plan was.

'Now the Lawrence family is in a complete predicament. But I will fight to the end to protect my equal pride. What if Barco and Dmitry get married by arrangement in this situation? The game is over. There is no force that can withstand the power of Barco and Dmitry in the northeast area because they simply stand by their will.'

It was perfect.

Anthony Barco, who swallowed his laugh inwardly, spit out an eloquent discourse towards his puppet, Roman.

"Roman. The combination of Barco and Dmitry is a huge issue that will upset the northeast area. No one will be able to surpass our stronghold, and you will be able to claim unparalleled power in the northeast area. And, as you know, my sister, whom you will marry, is a beauty that everyone recognizes. For you, it's an offer you have no reason to turn down."

It was sweet.

It was a proposal that could only be deceived by a man, and Anthony Barco thought that Roman would accept it of course.

By the way.

Roman's reaction was different than expected.

"I don't think I need to accept arranged marriage for that reason alone."

" what?

Anthony Barco's expression hardened.

He thought he had heard it wrong for a moment, so he said it again.

"You seem to have misunderstood, but this is not an alternative option. If you reject Barco's offer, I have no choice but to disclose to the world what happened. So what will be the status of Dmitry? You broke up with Lawrence, but people probably think that the reason for the breakup is because of your female side. So think well. If you want to carry your face forward."

It was a threat.

Faced with Anthony Barco's ferocious face, Roman smiled uncontrollably without the slightest bit of agitation.

legs crossed

Then, he looked directly at Anthony Barco.

a few days ago.

Roman investigated the Barco family.

What kind of place Barco is, and how strong they are.

and made a decision.

"You just said it. For some reason, there's no need for Dmitry to accept Barco's offer.

the northeast area.

The powerhouse is Dmitry, not Barco.
