Chapter 299
Meeting members of the imperial family has a different meaning from meeting siblings from other families.
Even so, siblings from the same family had some level of intimacy, but basically, the imperial family didn’t have much time to meet each other.
Naturally, the imperial family had no choice but to regard each other as competitors…
Thanks to this, a bloodless and tearless competition broke out when they met.
To be recognized in front of the people as to which one of the royal family is more outstanding!
“…But fortunately, it’s the Kainando mansion. I can’t say too much since I’m here as a guest.”
Lee Han said as if comforting.
As guests invited to someone else’s family’s mansion, he couldn’t be more than a certain level of arrogance.
If I did, I would be accused of being rude to the subject I was invited to.
“Besides, your mother is here too.”
I hadn’t met him yet, but from what Yoner said, he was no ordinary person.
Considering the power of the family, no one would dare to say useless things in front of him.
“Did Mom leave for a while?”
“……”
“…children. Gather together for a moment.”
Lee Han put down the magazine and called his friends.
The theme of the meeting was < How to make Kainando look plausible during the royal family gathering >.
* * *
Contrary to Lee Han’s worries, in fact, the royal family had no intention of arguing with Gainando.
Once invited to another family’s mansion, the imperial family wasn’t stupid enough to insult a member of that family.
Besides, considering the power of the family, there was nothing good about making enemies.
It was each other that the members of the imperial family were thinking about quarreling with.
“Bogajun. Long time no see. It was a pity that the plague incident in Kldran Village failed the other day.”
Knock!
“Judrantas… Thank you for your concern. I was worried about you too. Who would have known that your escort knight would be involved in a bribery case?”
Hard!
The members of the royal family, who were heading towards the mansion, glared at each other on their horses and growled.
The same was true of the followers of the imperial family. They stared fiercely at each other, waiting for an opening.
The imperial family, who had to prove their worth, always tried to make their reputation known to the empire.
The best way was to intervene in the great and small matters of the empire.
Of course, such solutions did not always work out well. There were many failures and sometimes accidents among his followers before he even did.
Then, I had to listen to the other members of the royal family who were very excited and worried, saying, “What should I do?”
‘A bastard.’
‘I should have searched the other day.’
“It’s really nice to see you two worrying about each other’s safety.”
“How bright is the future of the empire?”
“…ha ha ha.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha.”
The people who visited the mansion were not only the imperial family and their followers. There were also nobles who got along with them.
They acted as spectators and referees.
If someone from the imperial family had an accident at the meeting, rumors would spread in the social circles of the empire that ‘someone from the royal family had an accident’, and if someone from the imperial family had accomplished outstanding achievements, rumors would spread again
… Words would come and go.
“It’s really ugly.”
“you’re right. A truly beautiful jewel shines even when it sinks to the bottom of a swamp. They are insignificant compared to Adenart.”
Adenart’s followers clicked their tongues as they looked at the other members of the imperial family.
All members of the royal family should know how to be serious, but it was pitiful to see them arguing ugly as soon as they met.
“under. Do you have any other achievements besides entering Ein Lorgard?”
“I don’t think that’s something a person who hasn’t even entered Einrogard would say.”
“He’s just not interested in magic. The prince is in a position to use magic, not to use magic himself.”
“I guess that’s what you want to claim.”
“ruler. Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. We have arrived at the mansion.”
Aristocrats who were not part of the imperial faction intervened.
If they continued to argue after passing through the main gate, that would be ignoring the owner of the mansion.
The fighting followers kept their mouths shut and passed through the main gates of the mansion.
A luxurious mansion that is rare even in the city of
Granden
…
“!”
People who entered were surprised by the vision of a dragon that wrapped around the mansion and spewed out lanterns of light.
Even at a glance, I could tell that it was done by a fairly skilled wizard.
It was the < Azirmo Summon Grant > magic that Lee Han (forced) learned from Professor Verdus.
“Cainan Island. Say hello quickly.”
“Isn’t it better to summon a skeleton too?”
“If you don’t want to be beaten to the bone, say hello quickly.”
“There’s nothing to be angry about…”
Lee Han growled in anger, and a frightened Gainando cleared his throat and shouted.
“welcome. Welcome to the mansion.”
“…!”
The appearance of Gainando and his friends standing on the stairs left a strong impression on the guests.
“Come to think of it, I heard that Prince Gainan and Prince also entered Ein Lorgard…”
“I didn’t expect to use this much magic already.”
“Didn’t he cast it alone? I must have borrowed the power of other friends to cast it.”
“Even so, it’s great enough. Look at that illusion magic.”
The guests did not even think about raising the evaluation of Guinando a little.
Even if he didn’t cast it himself, the fact that he cast that level of magic with his friends was a great enough thing.
Gainando tilted his head.
“But this one was cast by Lee Han alone…”
“Shh. It’s coming.”
“……”
Although it is his own mansion, Gainando puffed out his cheeks at the sight of his friends shutting up the owner.
Lee Han said firmly.
“Cainan Island. do you remember You’re only saying three things. ‘Yes’ ‘No’ ‘Whoops’. got it?”
“Yes…”
“I didn’t have to do it already, but it’s nice to have a positive attitude. That’s right.”
Lee Han patted Gainando on the shoulder.
All I had to do was sit still and keep my mouth shut until the meeting was over. Then at least you won’t be harmed.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Bo Ga-jun.”
“This is Lee Han of the Wardanaz family.”
“…!”
“I will leave it up to you. This is Jude Lantas.”
“This is Lee Han of the Wardanaz family.”
“!!!”
The imperial family who visited looked at Lee Han greedily with their eyes shining whenever they heard the introduction of the family.
‘You look more greedily than when I look at gold coins.’
Of course, Lee Han knew well why the other person was doing that.
It was not strange to judge that he was the lumber of a wizard who will grow in the future, as he was from the Wordanaz family, a famous magic family, and even a student of Einrogard.
And the royal family are basically people who like to attract talented people under them.
“I have heard the name of the Wardanaz family many times. A new magic book just arrived at the mansion. If it’s okay, why don’t you come and take a look at it?”
“Thanks for the offer. I will think about it.”
“I got an artifact this time…”
“Thank you. I will think about it.”
Life became tiring if we got involved. Lee Han did not show any gaps and politely cut the question.
When Lee Han did not show any gaps, the imperial family turned their attention to Nilia and Ratford.
As the Meikin family is related to Kainando, it was close to impossible to get them involved, but the other two didn’t know yet.
“If there is anything you want…”
“New this time…”
One of the guests asked Gainando curiously while the royal family and their followers surrounded and harassed Lee Han, Nilia, and Ratford.
“Lady Gainando. I have a question for you. Who cast that spell? I’m a little versed in magic. That magic doesn’t look like magic that other wizards can help with.”
“Whoops.”
Gainando answered as Lee Han had instructed.
Then the guest asked again.
“Did the prince cast it?”
“no.”
“Then, did Lee Han of the Wodanaz family cast it?”
“yes.”
“……”
Lee Han, who was answering questions from the imperial family from a little distance away, sighed inwardly.
‘I should have just sewed up my mouth.’
“Did Wardanaz cast it? I really want to hear it! When is a good time?”
“We can arrange a time anytime. The wizard of the house of Wodanaz is coming…”
The followers, who had been suggesting softly until just now, started charging with their eyes twinkling.
The desire to invite Lee Han to the gathering of his followers was burning.
Gainando grumbled at Yoner.
“Why do you keep inviting people over when you don’t have time to play together at the mansion?”
“Please shut up…”
* * *
After making a fuss in front of the mansion, the guests were allowed inside.
Each of them was sitting in the hall, calmly tilting their cups, but their eyes were sharp.
The guest who bothered Lee Han by asking Gainando useless questions sat in front of Lee Han.
“I was really surprised. Mr. Wodanaz. really. My name is Zolbabden.”
Seeing the elf reaching out his hand, Lee Han cursed inwardly.
Why did you say nonsense…
“I knew that Einrogard was an excellent magic school, but to think that a 1st year student would show that much magic… I was truly amazed.”
“I was just lucky.”
“Are you lucky? Could it be that Look at the expressions of the other members of the royal family.”
‘It’s because of you.’
Zolbabden’s ‘No! If it hadn’t been for saying, ‘I cast this magic alone!’
Originally, Lee Han preferred to be friends with rich people, but the royal family had a slightly different story.
Aren’t they the ones who have to pay more for hanging out to get some gold coins?
There was no need to drink the poisoned chalice for nothing.
‘I will earn money proudly and confidently.’
Lee Han changed the topic.
“So what are the members of the imperial family doing today?”
“ah. A riddle will come out soon.”
There was only one reason for the members of the imperial family who hated each other to gather.
To prove ‘I’m better than him’ in front of other nobles.
Of course, you need an opportunity to prove that.
For this reason, at the meeting of the royal family, the nobles would take turns bringing small riddles one by one.
thud!
Inside the transparent glass case was an egg with a unique pattern.
The nobleman who brought the glass case said with a meaningful smile.
“ruler. Wise people gathered here today. Can you guess what creature this egg is from?”
Zolbabden, who was next to Lee Han, exclaimed.
“As expected, Mr. Brodon is full of wit! isn’t it? Mr. Wodanaz?”
Lee Han, who was thinking to himself, ‘If you want to do something like that, why don’t you go to Ainlaward?’, Lee Han answered with a fake smile.
“It’s a really witty question.”
“Isn’t it? really. How about trying to solve it for Wodanaz-nim?”
‘Are you crazy?’
Lee Han’s fingers twitched.
Of course, Zolbabden was pure-hearted and trying to promote a talented boy from the Wardanaz family to the world of Imperial society.
No matter how great a bloodline you are born with, no matter how outstanding your qualities are, if there is no one to spread them around, no one will know about their existence.
As an aristocrat in the social world of the Empire, Zolbabden was a person who thought it was his mission to spread the name of talented people.
Of course, from Lee Han’s point of view, it was just a nuisance.
The members of the royal family are trembling, wanting to untie each other, so why are they stuck there?
“It seems difficult because there is nothing to guess.”
After answering that, Lee Han hesitated.
Oddly enough, that egg was familiar.
Where did you see it?
