92. Vacation (1) On
March 10, 1799, Rosa convened a meeting of riders.
On the long table lay the empty helmet of Barton Bichena.
All the riders except Jin were shocked to see the helmet, but no one showed emotion.
The riders already knew that it was Jin, not Difus, who was responsible for this mission.
This is what Dipus said to Merry. Without Jin, this mission could never have been successful. Mary spread it to the riders as if it were her own business. In
the silence,
the sound of Rosa looking at the report was unusually loud. After reading the report with an expressionless face, Rosa uttered the first word.
“It looks like you forgot about the mission.”
“What was lacking?”
Some of the brothers’ eyes flinched at Jin’s nonchalant question. Brothers Lan Vigo Mu and Tona. They were only told that Jin and Difus had completed their mission perfectly.
“It’s good that we secured the Ventica and killed Barton Bichena. However, what the family demanded of you was a natural death.”
What the family asked of you.
Rosa gave strength to those words.
‘Dealing with death at the hands of the enemy during the mission’ was actually the decision of the entire Senate, not just Rosa.
“Barton Vichena. If I was just going to kill him, I wouldn’t have to use the power of your riders. It was something that could be done if the Black Sword Society and I moved directly.”
“mother.”
“Tell me the 12 horsemen.”
“It was impossible for Barton Bichena to die at the hands of the enemy on this mission. We needed more people because of the variable called Kelliac’s authority.”
“If such a judgment had been made, it would have been correct to have retreated when Barton Vichena insisted on retreating and then aimed for the next opportunity. Of course, at that time, other riders, not you, would have been in charge of the task.”
At that point, Jin sold the name of Dipus without hesitation.
“For that reason, the 4th rider, the decision maker, had a strong will to continue the mission.”
“Four horsemen. Is that true?”
“That’s right.”
“Why didn’t you back down?”
“It is because I have judged that there is no rider who can perform the mission better than me and the 12th rider now that the 1st rider is absent.”
“That’s just your idea, Difus.”
“It has really brought results. Although it did not produce a natural death, it accomplished two tasks without a fatality.”
“Don’t you know why the family tried to kill Barton Bichena so complicatedly? It is to prevent his betrayal from being known to the outside world. Didn’t all the magicians of Ziple who retreated know that he survived? However, if his death is known to the outside world, Runkandel will be like purging the Black Knight.”
Warriors and purges during missions.
As for the other knights, the black knight had to be the former. It was because the purging of Runkandel’s strongest forces would signal that there was a problem with solidarity and loyalty.
The fact that the Black Knight was purged would have a huge ripple effect in itself. Not only in Runcandel, but also in Hufestor, the symbol of the Black Knight was like that.
Of course, even in the case of the former, it was unavoidable that Runcandel’s prestige was scratched.
However, the power invested in the ‘Securing Ventica Mission’ was much stronger on the external side of Zipple.
Since he dealt with Kozek and the Midnight Sun, it was possible for the Black Knight to die.
If the mission went as it should, it was a problem that could be turned into propaganda that the Black Knight sacrificed himself ‘to save the riders’.
“As we all know, it is a sensitive time. While the head of state and the first jockey are away, Ziple is expanding day by day. In this situation, what would our allies think of us if the fact that the Black Knight had been purged was known?”
Mew and Ann almost burst into laughter with their savory feelings.
‘Sure it is. No matter how great Diphus’ older brother and youngest son are, they’re still human after all. I was blinded by the ball, so I overworked myself and was disappointed. If Joshua’s brother seizes hegemony, I’ll knock them out first.’
‘They say the elders are refusing to hand over the decisive battle. I’m afraid the Senate will fall in the eyes of the Senate once more with this incident.’
Ran and Vigo admired the fact that Difus and the youngest had killed Barton Bichena, but did not think of anything else.
Brother Tona, as always, was full of worry, but he managed to keep his emotions from showing.
Rosa could clearly see the thoughts of those six people. So, I clicked my tongue and suppressed my frustration.
“…if the 4th and 12th riders do not have insight into this, this mission will be considered a failure.”
“There is nothing wrong with announcing that my mother, Barton Bichena, died in battle. Are you familiar with it?”
At Jin’s words, the eyes of the six people widened. It was the six people who had just disappointed Rosa.
On the other hand, Rosa and Joshua Runtia Dipus Mary had a calm expression. As if you knew it would be like this.
“The enemy’s Kojek was halved, six red dragons and over thirty elite mages were lost, and Veradin suffered serious injuries even with the power of Keliac. Even so, we couldn’t even secure a Ventica.”
Kelliac’s power was used.
At that point, the Six Horsemen fixed their eyes on Jin once again. There was no such information in the report that was distributed. But no one asked what that meant.
“It makes no sense that Runkandel suffered no damage in the process. Especially if it turns out that I was the one who destroyed Ko-Jek, it won’t end just as a loss of face.”
“Wait, youngest. Did you mean that it was you who destroyed Kojek, not Deepus-nii-sama?”
Ignoring Vigo’s question, Jin went on to say something behind his back.
“In this situation, it would be welcome even as a Ziffle for us to falsely announce that the Black Knight was killed. It’s about taking care of each other’s truth. Of course, with no real damage and securing the Ventica, we’re taking the overwhelming majority.”
“Are you not considering the possibility that Ziffle will reveal that the Dark Knight was in fact a spy?”
“yes. It’s an issue you don’t need to keep in mind. If it is revealed that Barton was a traitor, Ziffle will be defeated with the Black Knight who betrayed Kozek. If Zipple reveals the whole story, we will take full responsibility.”
Silence passed for a while.
Unlike the Lan Vigo Mu and Tona brothers. The rest of the characters didn’t know that the conversation so far was Rosa’s ‘test’.
What Rosa said as if pressuring Jin wasn’t just to embarrass Jin.
This mission is really important to the family, so I wanted to see how Jin solves it as a rider.
I also wanted to set an example for riders who hadn’t noticed this fact until now. That is what the rider of Runcandel should be like.
If Jin had just brought the answer that it could not be helped, Rosa would have immediately punished her for her mission failure.
But Jin, as always, brought satisfactory results. Despite the serious variable of space explosion, it achieved a near-perfect mission success.
That’s why I felt like it was such a waste.
‘It’s deplorable that one day we’ll have to take this kid down. Until then, there must be many things you have to do for the family.’
‘Use it to your heart’s content. Eventually, that will strangle her and Joshua.’
Different thoughts floated between the eyes of Jin and Rosa.
smart!
Someone knocked on the conference room door.
“Sir Rosa, butler Heinz.”
“Come in.”
Heinz, who bowed and entered, had a bundle of newsletters in his hand.
They were newsletters from the Lutero Magic Federation.
“Zipple published an article about the Ventica mission. Overall, it is made up of the tone that Jiple was defeated, but accomplished the feat of killing the Black Knight.”
“Keliac Ziple knocked the ball out. sleep like a ghost Are you convinced that Barton was discovered just by the flow of this mission?”
This time, even the top jockeys were quite surprised. Of course, Runtia held back her yawn as always.
“Is there anything else special?”
“None. Can I prepare to write a response article?”
“Let it be. The death of Barton Bichena should be beautifully packaged, but his real name should not be revealed. Also expunge all records and documents about Barton.”
“I will do as you command.”
From today, knights praising Barton will pour out across Hufester, but his black helmet and remains will not be enshrined in the mausoleum.
After Heinz left, Rosa returned her gaze to Jin.
“It went as you said, 12 Horsemen. I’ll have to give you a prize. Do you want anything?”
“Give me 10% when the ancient iron mine is finished. And I would like to take a vacation of about 10 days.”
“i get it.”
Unexpectedly, Rosa readily accepted Jin’s request.
For the time being, she decided to focus on using Jin rather than keeping it in check.
Just as Runkandel and Ziple were taking care of each other’s interests, so were Jin and Rosa.
Above all, Rosa thought that everything Jin gained would eventually belong to Joshua over time.
So, support above a certain level was not bad for her. No, on the contrary, sometimes it was necessary to attach wings to it.
“End of the jockey meeting. The 5 6 7 8 9 riders will be assigned assignments in the evening, so send each butler to my office.”
“All right.”
Immediately after leaving the meeting room, Jin walked straight to his room without talking to anyone.
Instead, when I passed the Tona brothers, I told them that I hadn’t forgotten the promise.
“Have a drink tonight.”
“Yeah! I’ll prepare something good for you!”
The other riders clicked their tongues at the Tona brothers, but Difus and Mary felt very envious.
Mary just wanted to get closer to Jean, but Difus was different.
‘The thunder sword the youngest showed me… There was a corner similar to the 6th decisive battle lightning. Besides, it’s a drinking stone? There are so many things I didn’t know about the youngest. The power of magic far exceeded my expectations.’
Seeing Difus’ nape, Mary blinked in surprise.
“Brother? cold? I got chicken skin on the nape of my neck. Disgusting. We should have some hot drinks too.”
Upon returning to the room, Gilly greeted Jin.
And about 3000 years old black dragon, Murakan, looked at Jin with a pouty face.
“You have worked hard, young master.”
“Thank you. But why is Murakan like that again?”
“Oh, that’s…”
Gilly gave an awkward smile as if he was embarrassed.
The reason Murakan was so horny was no different.
It was because Gilly insisted that we go on this holiday ‘together’.
In other words, it was not easy for Murakan to accept the fact that the long-awaited date had passed.
“I heard that Olmango’s contractor is in the kingdom of Shucheron? I’ve always wanted to visit that beach at least once, and I thought it would be great if all my colleagues from Tican went on vacation together. If you don’t mind, the young master will come with you…”
Looking at Murakan, who frowned once again, Jin burst out laughing.
