Chapter 85. Julien Frontera (2)
“Is the person you are looking for Julien Frontera?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“What is the name of the visitor?”
“This is Lloyd Frontera.”
“How is your relationship with Julien Frontera?”
be a relationship
Lloyd thought for a moment and said.
“Family.”
It is true that they are related by blood.
However, it is awkward and strange to say that he is a younger brother.
He had never met Julien face to face.
In addition, it was the same that there were no siblings or siblings in Korea.
Fortunately, the headmaster of the academy dormitory did not take this answer as a problem.
“great. Show me some proof of identity.”
“here.”
Proof was easy.
He held out the family necklace.
The necklace’s magical proof device was activated.
Hwaaak….
A hologram-like image emerged from the necklace into the air.
It was Lloyd’s own face.
Lloyd put his face on the video.
The video and the face matched. The video then turned blue.
“You are right. Then please wait here for a moment.”
“thank you.”
Lloyd sat in the dorm lobby and waited.
The lobby was an antique space filled with dark maroon wood and the smell of old books.
As I was sitting there alone and spending time, a little anxiety suddenly rose up like beef bone broth.
‘Is it Julien? There was no detailed mention in the novel either.’
Lloyd’s younger brother, Julien Frontera.
It has never appeared in person in the novel Iron Blooded Knight. Instead, it was only briefly mentioned at the beginning of the novel, at the time of the fall of the Baron Frontera.
‘The baron family has collapsed and the way to pay for school has become a situation. In the end, I got kicked out of the academy. and died The night I came out of the dormitory, I was walking through a back alley looking for a place to sleep, and I was stabbed by a robber.’
He was stubborn to protect his mother’s pendant in front of robbers. Then he said he was stabbed with a knife.
It was not an instant death. There was a chance to survive. But I didn’t get that chance. It was because it was a very deserted alley.
Like that, I collapsed in the corner of the alley and struggled until dawn. He called out to people with a weak voice. But no one came. He died in a pool of blood that flowed from his body. It was at this point that only 30 minutes were left before dawn.
It was truly a miserable death.
It was also mentioned that it was a more regrettable death because it was evaluated as being sincere at the academy.
‘That was it. Sincerity.’
That was all he knew about Julien Frontera.
What kind of personality exactly do you have?
what do you like and dislike
What was his relationship with Lloyd like?
I didn’t know anything else.
so i was anxious
‘Write. Still, there won’t be any exposure.’
Anyway, Julien is seeing this for the first time in almost three years. Even if you think the changed tone and behavior of this side is a little strange? You just have to make them feel like they’ve changed since we haven’t seen each other for a long time.
‘Isn’t there a word that’s just right for a time like this? It’s called Gaegwacheonseon.’
Dog and Cheonseon.
Mind-blowing bro.
That’s the concept to catch up on today.
That’s how Lloyd was in the middle of establishing a strategy (?) before meeting Julien.
“what. Why are you here?”
A sharp voice that was harsh or not cool pierced my eardrum.
Lloyd looked away.
the direction the voice came from.
There was an ‘adult child’ with a childish face.
Curly orange hair. His freckled face looked like he was only fifteen or sixteen years old. His small physique contributed even more to his youthful impression.
He was short.
I wanted to barely exceed 160 cm.
Because he was skinny, his small figure stood out even more.
In addition, even the facial features gave a cute impression like a doll.
‘Is that Julien?’
Lloyd just stared at the ‘adult child’ presumed to be Julien.
Then the adult child frowned.
“Why did you come here?”
It is still a harsh and sharp reaction.
Seeing that, Lloyd was convinced.
‘That’s Julien.’
I heard that he is 21 years old, the same age as Xaviel. That’s why I was a little worried because I looked much younger than I thought.
That attitude that openly bursts with harshness towards this side.
Looking at that, it seemed that he was Julien.
A grin formed on one of Lloyd’s lips.
“Why did you come?”
got up from the seat
I took a step closer to the guy.
I saw Julien flinch.
Even in the midst of that, the green eyes were full of stubbornness.
No, rather than stubbornness, it felt more like a miasma that he was determined not to lose.
‘Let’s not get entangled for a long time now.’
Lloyd and Julien.
I don’t know exactly what happened between the two brothers.
I didn’t want to be deeply entangled with him.
Anyway, this time, he planned to return to the baronial territory once the suspension bridge was finished. Besides, he wouldn’t go through the same misfortune as in the novel, so there was no need to get deeply involved.
‘So let’s just do what the baroness asked me to do and go back.’
Lloyd picked up the bag.
He reached out to Julien, who looked up at him with pointed eyes.
“this.”
prison.
A rather large bundle was placed in his small arms. no it was put on
“What a fuss.”
Was it heavier than I thought?
Julien’s body staggered once.
asked the guy.
“Is there anywhere to eat here?”
“rice? meal?”
“uh.”
“Why?”
“He told me to have a meal with you while seeing your face.”
“Who did it?”
“Who would have done that?”
It was one of the contents the baroness had asked her to trust when departing from the barony this time.
Even Julien didn’t have to explain it in detail, but he seemed to understand it in general.
“Oh really.”
Julien’s round nose furrowed.
“this way.”
I turned around and hugged the bag.
I walked down the aisle ahead.
There was a restaurant for visitors on one side of the first floor.
It was a place used by family and friends who usually came to visit the academy students.
“What are you going to eat?”
I sat down first and asked.
Then he observed his older brother Lloyd.
‘Tsk.’
No, let’s stop observing.
Just looking at his face made me feel bad.
There was no particular reason otherwise. His older brother was just that kind of person from before.
“As I said beforehand, you can’t drink here.”
I hit the ball ahead of time thinking of just in case.
Even so, at the same time, I was worried.
It was because of Lloyd Frontera’s appearance in his memory.
‘Even if I throw it in the corner of hell, I’m a human who will start looking for alcohol.’
It was Lloyd who said to himself that if he didn’t drink for a day, his body would get hives. He got drunk and ran away every day. It was common to break furniture, and sometimes even hit people.
Of course, he was no exception.
No, in a sense, it was the most correct.
When I was young, I was beaten for not listening to errands.
After I got a little older, I was beaten by the fact that I felt bad for the way I looked in front of my eyes while drinking.
In the end, they even beat me harder, asking why I always bother people by being sincere.
To that extent, Lloyd was trash.
It was one of the worst crap he knew.
So Julien couldn’t believe the current situation.
‘How could that human have accomplished such a feat?’
Suddenly, an incident from a few days ago came to mind.
A person from the royal family came.
found myself
informed the news.
The trading city of Cremo.
The central city of Cremona, where his hometown belongs.
There, it is said that the gigantic monster, Giga Titan, tried to land and went wild.
It was said that the ship that had been set afloat to celebrate the completion of the statue was sunk, the statue was destroyed, and the guard post was blown up.
They even started a fire in the city.
‘But people said no one died. That’s not all. Someone said that he defeated Giga Titan by displaying superhuman courage and sacrifice.’
To be honest, I was genuinely amazed.
I felt a deep sense of respect.
As I listened to it, my heart was pounding.
Putting aside the question of why someone who came out of the palace would tell such a story to him, he was curious.
Who is the person who made such a great achievement?
What kind of life did he live with, what wonderful aspirations did he have?
I really wanted to know.
I wanted to meet him even once, if possible. I wanted to learn. Looking directly at the face of such a great hero, he wanted to resemble that aspect even a little bit.
In a word, Julien was completely enchanted.
so i was freaked out
The moment he heard the hero’s name, Julien had to rub his ears several times without realizing it.
‘Nonsense!’
A hero who saved the trading city of Cremo.
His name is Lloyd Frontera.
Of course I couldn’t believe it.
But I had to believe it.
It was a story told by someone from the royal family.
Of course it couldn’t have been a lie.
In addition, a member of the royal family even requested it.
Keep this story to yourself for the time being.
The news has not yet spread to the royal capital, and sooner or later, when His Highness the King will bestow a tribute on Lloyd Frontera, it will be officially announced to the outside world.
The more I listened, the more dazed I became.
It felt like being hit in the back of the head with a hammer.
‘Lloyd Frontera? It’s really nonsense. That’s obviously something wrong. or there is a mistake Or that people are mistaken for a group. Or possessed or possessed by something.’
I heard that thought.
There is obviously something distorted or misunderstood.
If not, there is no explanation. Because his trash-like idiot hyung is far from such achievements. Just a human being who drinks every day and has accidents. Because he’s just that kind of guy.
‘…I believed it.’
Julien raised his head.
over the table.
I glanced at Lloyd, who was carefully examining the menu.
For some reason, he wasn’t even opening the page with alcohol. I was just going through the food list with a serious face.
Then, like a coincidence, our eyes met.
“What do you see?”
“…uh?”
“If there is a menu you want to choose, look at it first. because i will live It’s a restaurant for outsiders, so it’s a fee, right?”
“Uh uh uh.”
“Then choose.”
Took.
A hand holding out the menu board this way.
Even a little bit of a chuckle.
It was so unfamiliar and foreign.
That’s why it’s a bit strange
“….”
Julien covered his face with the menu board he had just received.
The contents of the menu did not catch my eye at all.
Besides, why is it that the mouth is being selfish and gibberish?
“Uh, is that Sir Asurahan?”
“Haviel?”
“uh.”
“Why is he?”
“I heard you came with me.”
“Have you been listening to me?”
“…uh.”
Oh Mr.
Why am I having this conversation with a guy like that.
Julien gripped the menu board tightly.
Lloyd Frontera who doesn’t look for alcohol. Lloyd Frontera, who mixes more than ten words with himself, but never lets go of swear words or threats.
It was such a strange, awkward, disparate, unfamiliar, unfamiliar situation and appearance that, to be honest, I even had a bizarre thought, wondering if that person was really my older brother.
In short, it was a bit confusing.
However, Lloyd, whether aware of his feelings or not, was still answering in a much more human-like tone than before.
“How did you come here by accident? Don’t worry too much about it.”
“…uh.”
“really. Did you want to see Xaviel?”
“uh? uh little.”
“Are you sad that I didn’t bring you?”
“It’s not like that.”
“Then it’s done. In fact, I didn’t let him come because I was secretly trying to follow him.”
“You couldn’t come?”
“uh. If you move with him, you’ll go mad. All eyes are on you.”
“Uh yeah right. Because he is handsome and cool.”
“Anyway, that’s why I couldn’t come. He said he didn’t sing me a lullaby because he was stubborn, but he immediately shut up.”
“Lullaby?”
“There is such a thing. Anyway-”
Lloyd, who had been talking well, stopped talking and looked serious.
Julien flinched involuntarily.
Lloyd’s mouth opened.
“Have you decided what you want to eat?”
“huh?”
“What are you so surprised about? did you decide something to eat.”
“Oh this.”
“Eat something expensive.”
“are you okay. really.”
“When you have finished choosing the menu, put the menu down.”
“….”
I wanted to keep covering my face more.
That’s Lloyd Frontera. It’s strange and unfamiliar, so it’s driving me crazy.
Julien bit his lower lip and lowered his head.
‘I’ll turn around.’
It was a place I hadn’t seen in a long time.
It was also an unexpected encounter.
So, when the headmaster first came and told me that he was looking for him, I couldn’t believe my ears.
As I came down to the lobby, I made a strong resolution not to lose the momentum and not to be swayed like before.
So I deliberately treated it more harshly.
I treated it as pointedly as possible.
Then, given the nature of that human, I expected that he would strike his hand or do something.
‘Then I was going to call the supervisor.’
If it was the housekeeper’s authority, he would be able to expel the visitor, Lloyd.
Even so, I wanted to cut the meeting with Lloyd as short as possible.
However, the plan collapsed in 10 minutes.
It was all because of that human’s strangely normal(?) behavior.
‘Should I just ask why he is doing that?’
To be honest, I had a lot of questions.
Why are you acting like a normal person?
What kind of fraud was the achievement that he built in Cremo?
While sitting face-to-face like this, I raised my head at the thought of asking a question. I threw my own determined eyes at Lloyd.
At that moment, Julien had to see an unexpected side he had never thought of.
