Episode 6
“Could you please explain.”
The next-generation swordsman, Lian Paslov, was looking at me with a bewildered expression.
“As I recall, I should have met the princess of Lindel today. I’m a bit confused whether my memory is wrong.”
“Oh, that’s not wrong. I just pushed myself a little.”
Ryan’s expression hardened.
“…What do you mean by coercion?”
“I was kidding.”
“…under.”
Ryan’s eyes shone sharply.
In an instant, an explosive force erupted from him. A power worthy of the name of the next-generation swordsman.
“You look at me so funny.”
“It’s not.”
“No, but you were playing a joke like this? A sound that no dog will ever hear… …!”
The momentum, which had only been slightly tingling, sharpened.
Of course, scattering is enough.
No matter how much he is called the next-generation swordsman, the current Lian is still unfinished.
“What good.”
I spun mana and easily drove Lian’s momentum away.
“hmm…?”
“First, calm down.”
Realizing that his momentum was blocked, Lian’s eyes widened.
“Let’s cool down and talk. Isn’t it too late to get angry after hearing each other’s stories?”
“Wait, what did you just do?”
But Lian didn’t answer my words and asked me.
“It was just shaken off.”
“Aren’t you Mikhail Walpurgis? I have heard that Walpurgis’ heir is… …”
“Yes, nerd. know.”
It wasn’t a complete lie, so I had no intention of denying it.
After all, what matters is the present, not the past. And the upcoming demonic invasion… ….
By the way, that bastard.
I can’t forgive that bastard who rose to the position of a warrior before returning.
“Uh um…?!”
“…hmm? Did I have a strange expression on my face?”
“It felt like someone would stab me with a knife at any moment.”
“Oh, that’s because there is someone I really want to stab.”
“….”
What to do with his expression crumpled because there is someone he wants to stab?
“Anyway, I’ll tell you why now. Listen first and judge.”
“…Please tell me.”
The one-on-one meeting with Lian was one of the things I agreed with Duke Lindel earlier.
Then why did I have to go alone with him?
“You become my ally.”
At that, Ryan looked at me.
“What, not a jerk…Then
he tilted his head slightly and continued.
“…Were you just crazy?”
“….”
Oh, this bastard is talking nonsense now.
* * *
‘What should I do?’
Aileen paced around the room, unable to hide her nervousness.
At first I thought no.
Although Mikhail looked like he was up to something, he just took it as a bluff, as usual.
Still, in case you didn’t know, I thought I’d listen to the story.
But maybe… ….
‘I really thought you would have noticed… …!’
It is not another family, but an engagement with the Walpurgis marquis family.
As long as he noticed that there was a problem with the contract, Walpurgis would thoroughly bite him.
In addition, the family’s reputation will be dealt a serious blow.
“Oh, Father, what the hell am I supposed to do with this…!”
“Calm down, Eileen.”
Duke Lindel did not look embarrassed at all. No, on the contrary, he was smiling like he was having fun.
“…father?”
“It’s fun. fun. I only thought of it as an ignorant thunderclap, but maybe I was thinking wrong.”
With his hands behind his back, Duke Lindell turned his head in the direction of Mikhail, who was in the middle of a conversation with Lian.
“…I don’t know. I thought he had quite a few eyes for people, but it doesn’t seem like that.”
“Father, if you need me, I will take responsibility somehow.”
Eileen said to Duke Lindel with a determined expression.
“Everything is caused by my negligence, so if I take responsibility for everything…”
“It will be useless.”
Duke Lindel answered firmly.
“This is a family versus family issue. It means that even if you step out, nothing will change.”
“Ha but…!”
“Besides, I gave permission. This wouldn’t have happened if I had noticed sooner that you had awakened your aura. In the end, I cannot say that I am not responsible for being a parent.”
Eileen’s expression darkened.
How could anyone in the world have predicted it? That Aileen could awaken the Aura alone without anyone’s teaching.
sword genius.
Realizing that fact, Duke Lindell had to make a choice.
It is impossible to make an aura once awakened into something that did not exist.
Even if it’s subtle, an aura is an aura.
It was like I broke my promise to Walpurgis… ….
After much thought, he decided to hide it.
He hid his daughter’s condition by searching for an ancient magic tool and induced a breakup of marriage using Mikhail’s qualities as a reason.
It was good up to there.
…okay.
Until Mikhail came to find out all the facts.
“Walpurgis bloodline makes demands. Rather, it was us who violated chivalry.”
“Ah father…“
It’s all your fault.
None of this would have happened if he hadn’t practiced his auror on his own.
But that was then.
“One is fine.”
“…yes?”
“Walpurgis’ bloodline won’t make such unreasonable demands. Doesn’t that child want the ruin of our family?”
“that is…What are you talking about?”
“I’m not as stupid as you think, I’m just saying.”
She couldn’t understand exactly what that meant. Certainly, the appearance this time was different from before.
But is it big enough for my father to react like this?
“If you don’t know, you should check from now on. Watch.”
Duke Lindel said that and stroked Eileen’s head.
“There will be something to learn.”
* * *
“Stop talking nonsense and get to the point. I don’t care if you’re Walpurgis or whatever.”
Rian stood up with the same momentum as if he would draw his sword at any moment.
But I smiled and waved my hand. At that moment, Lian’s movements stopped.
“you you…”
He tried to straighten himself up, but in the end he collapsed in his chair.
He looked up at me with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
“What the hell did you just do?”
“First, calm down and listen. Because I’m not done talking yet.”
Lian nodded quietly, as if his head had cooled down.
He may seem hot-tempered because of his light-hearted behavior, but unexpectedly, Lian is quite cold-hearted.
He distinguishes when to be angry and when not to be angry.
-I am… …It’s called Selective Anger Control Disorder!
Recalling what Lian said to me before returning, I opened my mouth.
“You came here to become engaged to Eileen. Of course, that would have been the case unless something major happened.”
“So, in the position where the marriage was broken up, you were angry and broke in for no reason?”
“Haha, that could be.”
I laughed coldly at him.
“Eileen has no value to me anymore.”
“….”
“The person I’m interested in isn’t her side, if I have to say…Yes, it is yours.”
“What bullshit.”
Looking at me with a disgusted expression, Lian slightly widened her distance.
“Just in case, I like women.”
“What kind of bullshit are you talking about all of a sudden?”
I let out a small sigh as I watched him say something that was not very cheesy.
“It’s nothing special, but there’s a rumor that’s been spreading in the Holy Church. I think it must have flowed into Count Parslov’s family as well.”
“…Holy Church Nation?”
Lian, who seemed to be thinking for a while with his arms folded, said with a frown.
“What can you do? Are you talking about the hero of the prophecy? I think it was a role in preventing a planned disaster… …”
“Yes, that.”
The demon’s threat has yet to be fully revealed.
But before the signs were fully revealed, there was a prophecy.
< Cassandra's Prophecy >.
But at the time, no one cared about the content of the prophecy.
Of course, so did I.
The prophecy was later re-examined only after the demon moved in earnest.
“It’s not once or twice that Ha Gyo-guk shovels, what is it with prophecies that are not very nutritious…“It was known, though, right?
”
What is unique about Cassandra’s prophecy is that, unlike other dead prophecies, it ‘spread’ all over the world.
No one believed, but most heard the prophecy.
Yes, oddly enough, everyone listened… ….
“You know? haha yes! It was known! What do you drink in this day and age? That Walpurgis, and no one else, really believes in such bullshit?”
…I don’t believe in this way.
It won’t be any different this time.
If nothing special happens, everyone will pass it off even after hearing the prophecy.
yes, except for me
“It doesn’t matter whether I believe or not. The important thing is that you want to accompany me.”
“Stop the bullshit.”
Rian said with a growl.
“Because I have no intention of matching your delusions. Also useless bullshit… …”
“Mulier Auror Training Method.”
At that moment, his fingertips trembled for a moment.
“…what?”
“No matter how talented you are as a next-generation swordsman, you can’t just grow all the time.”
Just about this time.
The time when Lian’s swordsmanship comes to a standstill.
I’m sure this is information I heard directly from Ryan himself.
“Experienced sword, Mülière. A pioneer who is a few steps ahead in Auror training, and one of the top five in the history of swordsmanship.”
“…What do you mean?”
“If you accept my offer, I will tell you the complete Aura training method left by Mulière.”
“dog sound!”
At that moment, as if screaming, Lian hurriedly stood up.
“Mullier left nothing but one record! Even that… …”
“Not perfect. I know.”
yes it will
i know
Why was Lian’s growth sluggish at this time and why is he overreacting like this right now?
“I have half of the Mülière Auror training method.”
“…?!”
Yes. Ryan Parslov.
He was learning the ‘imperfect’ Mullière Auror training method.
And I remember the rest exactly.
“Uh how…?!”
His eyes trembled like crazy.
I know for sure how desperate he is for the ‘perfect’ Aura training method.
“I’m not asking for anything that great. Well, it doesn’t matter if you’re engaged or not. There is only one thing I want.”
“…Is that a prophecy?”
“Yes, Cassandra’s prophecy.”
This is the first step.
“I need your help confirming the prophecy.”
* * *
“So what do you want to do?”
…prophecy.
Rian couldn’t understand why the damn thing would hang on to such nonsense.
but.
‘Mulier Auror training method.’
I just couldn’t get past that.
He wanted to grab him by the collar and ask if it was true, just because he had the same temper, but he knew very well that the Walpurgis were not such an easygoing family.
‘What the hell is this guy?’
I just can’t figure it out.
According to rumors, he must have been a flawed idiot to the extent that the Lindell duchy family asked for a breakup first.
But what is in front of him now… ….
“It doesn’t matter if I’m betrothed to the Duke of Lindell or not?”
“doesn’t care. It’s not important to me right now.”
“Even if you’re not important, your family wouldn’t be like that.”
“Does ‘Walpurgis’ look like a family that would stumble that much?”
There was confidence in Mikhail’s voice when he said that. It seems that other people’s opinions don’t matter.
‘Isn’t that bad?’
At that moment, Lian smiled unconsciously. The first impression was the worst, but this grounded confidence is not bad.
Besides, the momentum that I suppressed myself earlier.
It was definitely Mikhail’s.
To confirm once more, he decided to ask Mikhail.
“…Mülière Auror training method. Can you prove that you have it?”
“proof?”
Mikhail chuckled.
“Listen carefully. I’ll tell you a crazy story from now on.”
Great mage who transcends by regression
