That Man’s 101st Bad Ending

There are bad dogs in the world-4

What kind of feelings should I feel for the grandson of a child I haven’t seen for 20 years?

The only thing I was able to meet after hearing the news of her death was her daughter.

My feelings toward Taylor were rather negative.

So, when I heard the word grandson, I didn’t feel much inspiration.

I just felt a little curious about the person my daughter gave birth to.

“It must have been learned from your mother.”

I was a little surprised by his confident attitude, but I felt a strange sense of deja vu.

You know you’re trying to end this conversation.

Even so, aren’t you trying to draw interest in yourself without showing any dislike?

What does the name mother mean to my grandson in front of me?

The Count looked at his eyes for a moment and smiled inwardly.

At least I don’t think it has a negative meaning. I just thought I was a little bit lucky.

Although sickly, it was his daughter who lived healthier than anyone else.

Serena was the first one to say that she would have an arranged marriage when she wasn’t even thinking about it, so she didn’t know if it had come to fruition.

Rumors about his son, Robert, were a mess, and his daughter, Yuria, was doing the same as her father.

In the end, I thought that what my daughter had in mind could not come true.

Until I met Robert, I thought so.

“North, church, imperial family. Three forces are already with me. After I become the family head, I will help stabilize through support.”

“Can you be sure? It is about whether the support they send will continue even after becoming the head of household.”

“I am sure.”

I didn’t know what to be sure of.

It was strange that he directly brought in the Grand Duke and the saintess, but not having even the slightest doubt about what he believed in.

It was like watching Serena. A face was superimposed on the corner of the mouth that was strangely raised.

Looking at it, the Count let out a small sigh and closed his eyes gently.

…There was no resemblance.

Her eyes were also Taylor’s unique cold blue color, and if you look at the part that resembles Serena’s at least, it’s probably a part of her face.

The reason why I couldn’t see much of it was because of the expression that looked particularly dark.

Empty eyes look like they’ve been through all the ups and downs of the world,

It felt like seeing an old man who was older than himself.

It’s probably because of my mood, but it’s probably because I’ve been through a lot under the Taylor family.

The reason I came here is probably to get my support.

I knew it, but I didn’t want to intervene with the Taylor family.

It was the place where Serena died, and where she didn’t want to go.

There was no way there could be any affection in such a family.

He tried to send it back right away, but now he himself has become interested in Robert.

The resemblance to my daughter was in other places than appearance.

Saying something or preparing something unexpected and presenting it.

It was because she looked just like the Serena I had seen before.

-A political marriage? I don’t think it’s bad. I had met Arthur Taylor before. Could it be enough to change?

It’s like saying that Arthur Taylor, who had just become the head of the household and had a bad reputation, could change, and secretly prepared for the marriage.

This time, it didn’t look much different from the one he had personally brought with him.

Ordinarily, you wouldn’t even try, and for some unknown reason, it even brought about a bizarrely successful outcome.

To judge it soberly, the plan itself by Robert felt quite plausible.

Imperial family, northern and southern.

And if he continued to enlist the nobility, wouldn’t it be possible to overwhelm him, even compared to the power that Yuria Taylor possessed?

However, direct intervention itself should be avoided, but the situation has changed significantly just by carrying such a name on its back.

And rumors that have changed recently.

Confucius, who was always followed by bad reviews, that Robert Taylor had become a completely different person began to receive good rumors one by one.

It was a fairly important fact that the source was outside the territory, not the center.

It was because the central forces did not have complete control over the outer regions.

Worth it. It was clear that this evaluation was made when viewed objectively, but

The Count paid attention to the man himself, Robert.

Is it Robert Taylor? Or are you trying to go in a slightly different direction?

If it was someone like Sogaju now, no matter who they supported, it made no difference.

Rather, supporting Yuria, who takes the same attitude as the current head of household, will help her stabilize a little bit faster.

However, when I saw Robert, I couldn’t erase the feeling of facing my daughter’s fragment.

It’s what you say, from the words you spit out to the thoughts that are reflected. After thinking for a moment, the Count quietly pursed his lips.

“What I am curious about is after becoming the head of the household. What do you plan on doing post-processing?”

Robert’s expression darkened slightly when he heard the word post-processing.

It was a question I was constantly thinking about.

After she became the head of the family, she would definitely need to sort out the power that Yuria had.

A clean finish was important to avoid repetition.

sever the ensuing evil. It was better to end everything in his own generation so that this tradition would not continue again.

Isn’t that why they’re trying to erase the name Taylor?

If the family disappeared in the form of treason, that would be the neatest ending.

Still, I should think about the treatment of YuRia rather calmly.

Robert, who hesitated, replied slowly.

“Yuria, I plan to end it with my own hands.”

“Are you saying you’re going to kill me?”

“If that was the only way to end it, that would be it. I don’t want to repeat what happens in every generation in the Taylor family. At least, I think we should be the last.”

“…It seems that there is no possibility of reformation.”

Perhaps Serena would have thought of the possibility of change in this situation.

Just like I tried to do with Arthur Taylor before.

As the small feelings he had been holding for a while disappeared, Robert opened his mouth with a small smile.

“There is something my mother used to say.”

“You mean Serena?”

“You said that there are no bad dogs, that anyone can change. He always said it like a habit, and I still remember it well.

– There are no bad dogs in the world. If something was bad from the start, that’s an excuse, and I think it can change in the end. Maybe Duke Taylor can change too? If you live together for about 10 years, you might be able to become a completely different person than you are now.

What Serena always said was right.

He said that anyone can change, and his daughter, who pursued a completely different way from Taylor, accepted the marriage with those words.

Did you know that? Robert, feeling the gaze on me, looked at the count and smiled bitterly.

Not everything mother said was right.

Maybe it was really right that there are no bad guys in the first place, but at least that didn’t apply to Yuria.

Is there anyone who has tried more than you? After going through dozens of regressions and trying to change the fundamentals of Yuria, it never changed.

It means that there is no possibility that what is twisted will come back right. I couldn’t leave it alone.

Even if it wasn’t for anyone else, Yuria Taylor had to see the end in some way.

“But there are bad dogs. My sister was that kind of person in the first place.”

“…it looks like you’ve tried.”

“I tried a lot. Perhaps, more than anyone else, I put in the most effort.”

After swallowing a moment of silence, the count let out a small breath. It didn’t sound like a lie.

The emotions tangled between the empty eyes were truly complicated.

I don’t know what he’s thinking, but Robert, who spits out those words, looks complicated. It didn’t seem like he was telling a lie.

“There are people who never change. You might see her as a consistent person, but you can’t say that Yuria’s work is good.”

“If not, as for the others.”

“I don’t want to see a lot of blood. I intend to save as many people as possible and win them over to my side somehow. So, isn’t it moving like this? I’m sure you know very well that it’s something you shouldn’t have done in the first place.”

That he was right could not be denied.

It was unusual to move directly with Taylor’s name.

Usually, the nobles joined on their own, so no matter what method, Robert was approaching the nobles first.

embrace, and try to embrace. What came to me must have been part of that process.

Serena was the reason, although it seemed certain.

“…I don’t think what my mother said was completely wrong. Someone will change if they try. If I change my mind and join you, I’ll accept it as much as I like, but it’s not Yuria.”

It was a resolute expression, but on the other hand, I felt bitter.

The Count was feeling a strange feeling when he saw Robert.

Despite her resemblance to Serena, she also had a similar side to Arthur Taylor.

Resembling parents wasn’t too surprising, but I didn’t think it was possible under the name Taylor.

“If you become the head of household, and if post-processing is over. What are you planning to do after that?”

It may be a question that has nothing to do with this, but Robert answered it quite readily.

It was something I always pictured in my head.

After he became the head of the family, the family would still exist even while he was on his way to kill the crown prince.

“…There won’t be much of a difference.”

All that was left was a little over a year at most.

It wasn’t like she would stay at the duke’s house completely during that period, and above all, she would try to become an aide to the crown prince.

Some people might be disappointed and others would turn their backs on his actions after becoming the family head.

Perhaps if my father had found out, he would have gone straight to punish me.

What would you do if you were a mother?

He thinks he can forget a little bit now, but Robert didn’t want to deny his mother’s influence.

As I had always taught myself, I had given up on most of it now, tired of that kind of talk.

Even so, the desire to continue the maintenance was true.

“But it will definitely change. Whatever it is, in a better way.”

“It’s all blunt words. Nothing concrete, just abstract.”

If it had been someone else, I might have rejected it right away.

In fact, it was not a very attractive proposal, and even if you supported it, you could say that you had more to lose if it failed.

– I think it will change. If I go and live with that person, won’t everything change for the better? just like my father did

But, it was just Serena.

Because the image of the daughter who was lost 20 years ago was seen by the grandson who returned after 20 years.

My heart was just drawn.

Even if your judgment is clouded with age, wouldn’t it be okay to believe it at least once?

“I hope it goes well this time.”

One day, the Count, who thought so, replied that he did not want to hear the news of his sudden death.

Robert, who looked at the count for a while, smiled quietly.

The emotion in his expression was a reminiscence of the past.

It is impossible to know exactly who the person who seems to be overlapping with himself is, but if that is the mother.

That alone was enough.
