9th Class Sword Master: The Guardian of the Sword Chapter 25

Episode 25

Episode 16. Banquet and three women (1)

When Yuma took off her armor, the servants waited on her. Seeing Yuma return, the servants became lively.

Even before Yuma left, among the servants, he was known as the de facto owner of the guild.

“You have done a great thing again. Becoming Lord Duran’s disciple, wandering around the battlefield, and winning the knight war. You want to be a knight now.”

Poin said.

The boy who came to him with the recipe for magic crystals immediately fell in love with Cahel and Hugo, and now became a disciple of Duran Jacques, who was scheduled to become a knight.

It was no longer a military number to match with an ordinary upper class.

The achievements Yuma made in one year.

Poin shook his head as if he had lost.

Cindy also planned to report Yuma to the imperial family.

“I intend to refuse the appointment as a knight.”

‘Honestly, I wouldn’t even notice an average knight.’

I thought he was not a normal person.

But to beat Haseo’s high-ranking sword master in a knight match? It was a very difficult thing to understand.

It was a story that a young boy who was only 17 years old was officially included in the top 100 in the world.

“Were the magic stones successfully harvested?”

“yes. That’s an incredible amount.

Sir Cahel must have suffered quite a bit. It is said that magic crystals exploded quite often.

“Maybe it was. It’s because the land hasn’t been tamed with magic stones yet. After poking around, not much of the first crop will fall on our top.”

“That’s right, Yuma-sama. That part is a bit disappointing. Well, it will be harvested every year from now on…

“Don’t worry. It’s just an investment. We’re going to eat something much bigger.”

While Yuma was away, Puang dug up information about Yuma.

After becoming a war orphan, he was raised by a wandering swordsman in the fishing village of Ferol… There

was nothing special about him.

‘No matter how much I think about it, my ability is excessive compared to my background and age… Isn’t it really a special lease for the imperial family? Hugo-nim said it wasn’t a dragon. Oh, it’s my debt.’

While Puang was suspicious of Yuma, Cindy, the real imperial special envoy, came to Yuma and Puang with tea.

“Thanks Cindy. Have you been looking for a bride for Mr. Hugo while I was away?”

“I’ve been asking everywhere, but there’s none.”

“If we can’t find it, we have no life.

Please work harder.”

Cindy nodded as Yuma quietly pressed her.

I felt a strange dignity in this person of interest. Cindy contemplated asking the imperial family to find a woman of super strength.

Yuma did not inform Poin and Cindy that the contract period for finding a wife was 10 years. It’s just ‘the sooner you find it, the better. I just wanted to save my life.”

Well, that wasn’t completely wrong.

“And write me a letter saying that you will give me a gift to Cahel. I’ll send you a bucket of ogre blood for research.”

“Ogre blood…?”

“huh. I plan to go and get it today.”

Poin and Cindy looked at Yuma in amazement.

But he kept quiet, saying that he might have thoughts this time too.

Yuma took seven magic stones and went to the home of the Zach family. An enormous mansion that is often compared to imperial castles.

The privates of the Zach family let Yuma in without a body search.

“Is that guy your father’s disciple?”

It was Damien Zach, who was training with Randel at the arena on one side of the mansion.

Duran’s second son, he glared at Yuma disapprovingly.

“Arthur. I got into a fight and died. Die by ashes or die by your uncle.”

Randell said while wiping his sweat.

When Yuma greeted her, Randel waved back.

“Is that lowly guy really that strong?”

“It’s not a lie that I beat Lord Tenchu. I lost too. Even though I didn’t use dual swords.”

I don’t know if I’ll be able to win cleanly even if I use twin swords. Randel swallowed his words and started training again with Damian.

The clothes Duran chose for Yuma were a classy black officer’s coat and a pure white cape embroidered with gold thread.

“Master, I am a commoner.”

Yuma said while tossing the bundle of magic stones.

Of course, the seeds were not eaten. As Duran winked, the maids moved the bundle.

“Put it on. I will take care of the person who scolds you for your clothes.”

Actually, Yuma didn’t like it.

The maids served Yuma’s clothes. Anyway, since the Empress herself said to Duran, ‘Choose clothes for me’, it was an issue that no one could argue with.

Yuma felt good when she looked in the mirror wearing clothes that were cut to fit her body. It was the first time in my life to try it.

As she sat down, the maids carefully combed Yuma’s hair.

“You look more like a nobleman than a nobleman. excellent.”

“I look a little like that.”

“Now throw away all the old clothes. In the future, you will have to choose your clothes well and wear them. Don’t forget you are my disciple. Do not go around wearing beggarly clothes and disrespect your master.”

“So what.”

As night fell, the award ceremony and banquet began in the imperial castle.

Duran and Yuma stood side by side and received the Medal of Merit from the Empress.

They were 2nd and 3rd grade medals, respectively.

Numerous nobles were looking at it. The eyes that saw the only commoner who attended this banquet.

“Lord Duran cares for you very much. Are you thinking of writing an article? If you wish, I can give you a title right here in my special place. You would be more suited to be a member of the royal guard rather than a knight of the capital.”

The Empress asked as she placed a medal on Yuma’s left chest.

Suddenly, the surroundings were noisy. The Royal Guard Knights were originally the most elite division, consisting of extremely talented knights from aristocrats.

It was a position that a commoner without a foundation could never dream of. Besides, W What I personally recommend!

It was no different from an undeniable emperor. The nobles sighed inwardly and cursed Duran and the empress.

Duran laughed inwardly. It was a situation that I had asked for in advance. Ask Yuma to make a request he cannot refuse in front of everyone.

‘I ate a room.’

Yuma could tell without turning his head and looking to the side. The figure of the teacher who was laughing all the way up to his ears.

“your majesty. I’m sorry but I’m a merchant. It is not a vessel that will be responsible for the solemn safety of the imperial family.”

The tumultuous surroundings became solemn this time.

The empress’s recommendation was absurd, but the common people rejected it. Even if he cut his throat right away and performed filial piety, he could not answer all of his sins.

“haha. It’s the same as what I heard from Lord Duran. Played my joke once. If I appoint you as an Imperial Guard Knight, the nobles will frantically file appeals to Jim.”

When the emperor laughed and said, the nobles followed suit and laughed lightly.

“I apologize.”

“It’s an appeal. Isn’t it funny boy? Do you dare to yell at Jim for not liking the commoner he recommended himself? These days, there are a lot of nobles who think they have many lives. What should those guys do with their luggage?”

In an instant, the laughter of the nobles stopped.

Yuma immediately realized the empress’ intentions. According to Asuka Rose’s original personality, Yuma should have dropped his head right away.

However, a disciple whom Duran cherishes like a limb.

The Empress showed mercy to the unbridled commoners and at the same time warned the nobles. This commoner will pass, but you will not.

“Everything your Majesty’s eyes reach is Your Majesty’s. I dare to tell you that you should do as you wish.”

“That’s a good answer. I will award you

Do you have something you would like instead of a knighthood?”

“I want a barrel of ogre blood.”

“good night. I will send it to Puang Merchant tomorrow.”

Duran’s expression was crumpled as if he had chewed up shit. He probably didn’t think that this method would fail.

And the moment the name ‘Ogre’s blood’ came out, Hella Rose’s expression crumpled.

“Start the banquet!”

When the empress ordered, the dancers came in and the banquet began.

The Empress sat down and received the greetings and offerings from the nobles.

“This madman. You are the first commoner to refuse an imperial ruler’s order.

It can’t be like this.”

“Master said that if you are not feeling well, your head suffers. The reverse is also often the case. Even for those who have superpowers like Master.”

The nobles were watching Yuma and Duran’s side.

Yuma deliberately left Duran’s side and wandered around the banquet hall by himself.

Duran responded roughly to the numerous nobles who came to greet them. uh uh yes yes yes

In the meantime, Yuma took two glasses of wine and went to the railing.

Seeing this, the second princess, Hella Rose, defeated the nearby nobles and headed for the railing. It was as Yuma expected.

Yuma got down on one knee and bowed to Hella.

“Cut off the pretense. I have come to ask you something.”

Yuma stood up. There was a big difference in height with Hella.

“Did Lord Duran really feed you ogre blood?”

“Yes, low.”

“Ogre blood is not a health food. Why on earth are you feeding it?”

“I heard it was to save me. Prince Duran said he really didn’t know that method would work.”

Yuma answered skillfully.

Hella wanted to kiss Yuma’s cheek right away, but for some reason, she held it back because she felt like losing.

“good night. Let’s ask Prince Duran about it. But this time, why did you ask for ogre blood again?”

“Because there are people I want to give as a gift.”

“Yeah man! speak straight Aren’t you taking it for business?”

“It’s not something a merchant like me can sell. It is prohibited by law.”

Hella trembled, trying to hold back the blush.

“It was just to help Sir Cahel Povian with his research. When I was young, my parents were killed by magic bombardment. At that time, the one who saved me was Sir Kahel, who had been dispatched as an Imperial Magician at the time…

“It’s a story I heard a lot somewhere.”

Yuma was startled and turned his head. It was Jishu Ka Rosé with a familiar high-pitched voice.

“Wasn’t this the one who saved your village from the magic bombardment?”

Adeline Woods stood next to Zishka Roget.
