The Standard of Reincarnation Episode 66
Vinchen had no choice but to stand still.
‘They are the law enforcement officials.’
Those wearing white masks moved.
They are the ones who protect Adenka’s laws and set things right.
Their momentum alone made Vinchen unable to move.
‘Feel so good.’
Seeing Tiloban, Vinchen couldn’t help but be disappointed.
He was the elder of the family that Aslan had left behind, so he was very disappointed.
However, he changed his mind when he saw the warriors of the Hobeopdang.
‘I can’t judge the exact level with my current skills.’
I couldn’t recognize that they were here unless I was looking at them with my own eyes.
As much as that, their movements were restrained and secretive.
And after recognizing it, I felt a calm and gloomy mana.
It was like looking at a dark sea of unknown depth.
After they cleaned up the scene, they bowed to Versailles and disappeared.
Versa asked.
“How would you like to finish this?”
Should this be publicized?
Or should I hide it and figure it out on my own.
that was asking.
“I think what is rotten should be cut out. The more they hide, the more secretive they become, and the deeply hidden germs will eat away at Adenca.”
“Do you know what it means to make everything clear?”
Versa’s eyes narrowed.
The expression on her face did not look satisfactory.
– Brother tongue.
Yulian was still afraid of Versailles.
Vincen did not criticize Julian like that.
Because everyone has a weak spot.
-Mrs. Versailles is a person who values Adenka’s face and honor.
‘know.’
Vincent opened his mouth.
“The elder of Adenka fell for the tricks of a wicked group and threatened the life of the direct descendant of Adenka, and performed black magic in the middle of the elder of Adenka. This can certainly be said to be a fatal shame for Adenka.”
“Are you insisting on revealing it even though you know it all?”
“That’s right.”
Yulian was still uneasy.
What is politically calculated and appropriately hidden must be hidden.
Exposing Adenka’s disgrace was only doing good things to her competitors.
“Why did you think that?”
“Because it is right.”
If you cover up the problem to avoid immediate disgrace, it becomes a bigger problem later.
The times 500 years ago were much harsher and barbaric than now.
It was a world where there were far more wars and duels than there are now.
I have seen the rise and fall of many families.
“Good word. But if that is all, you will be disappointed.”
“It will be able to catch Samion, who is suspected of being behind this incident, off guard.”
A smile formed on Versa’s lips.
“Tell me in detail.”
“We will thoroughly investigate and dig up Elder Adenka’s deviation. We will not consider Samion’s involvement in the process. We have to pretend we didn’t feel their false red-yellow powers.”
“…”
“From Adenka’s point of view, I’m trying to restore Adenka’s honor by revealing her shame, but I haven’t been able to read the traces of Samion. Samion will have no choice but to be vigilant.”
Some time passed.
Versa looked at Vincen with eyes that determined the truth.
“You are confident in everything you say.”
It wasn’t just theoretical talk.
“It seems like words chasing illusions, but it feels like there is a certainty derived from experience in it.”
“….”
This time, Vincen shut his mouth.
I couldn’t recall ‘reincarnation’, but I seemed to have grasped the similarity in essence.
“Interesting.”
Versa relaxed her expression.
She was very curious what Vincen would answer.
“I know what you mean. From now on, you will have to go back to being a 9th grade cadet in the Red Fort.”
That meant,
in this case, to get out of hand.
“The issue is too serious for you to handle right now.”
“One…”
“Isn’t it because you know that, did you include Serkun the King of Salvation?”
“…”
“Isn’t it?”
“you’re right.”
Vincent knows too.
What you can do now is limited.
‘So I have to become stronger.’
Versa read Vinchen’s emotions.
Tenacity to become stronger.
Desire as a person.
Versa laughed.
“I will give you a present to acknowledge your credit for this case. Do you want anything?”
It was not simply a gift for Vincenzo.
Versa’s gift to Vincenzo is interpreted as meaning that the hostess, Versa, deliberately influences the succession plan.
It was an act that could damage the foundation and reputation of Versa, which had always maintained neutrality and firmly maintained its position.
‘But this is also a punishment for me.’
He had to take responsibility for everything that happened in Adenca.
So, I decided to give direct compensation to Vinchen.
It was the first time since Versa became Adenka’s mistress.
“I need a moment to think.”
Vincen felt a slight headache.
It was because Yulian was making a fuss.
-Oh, never once has a mother given a gift to her child!
Even the great Princess Deia had never received a direct gift from Versailles.
However, Versah directly mentioned the gift.
-This is a great perk!
Versa said.
“Let’s have dinner together tonight. Until then, think about it.”
that evening.
Versa had a dinner with Vincen.
The householder Khan was not seated, and it was a modest meal just for Versa and the two of them.
“Have you thought about it?”
“yes.”
“Tell me.”
“I want a chance at the promotion test.”
Versa put down her fork.
He stared at Vincen and burst into laughter.
“A chance for a promotion test?”
It was unexpected.
“You’re not asking for a promotion through my own discretion or a letter of recommendation, are you just asking for a chance to take a promotion test?”
“That’s right.”
“You seem to be thinking too much of my authority.”
In Versa’s words, raising a 9th grade cadet to an 8th grade cadet wasn’t difficult at all.
It was to the point where the general manager of the Red Fortress, Herka, had more difficulty with Versailles than with Khan.
“no.”
“then?”
“My mother’s authority is strong, so I’m only asking for an opportunity. I don’t want to be the one who rose through the ranks with my mother’s strength on my back.”
“Is it because it is right?”
“That’s right.”
“In what ways are you right?”
“I understand that promotion is achieved through thorough relative skill and strict scoring.”
Upgrades are made twice a year.
The next test is after 6 months, and the number of people promoted is limited to a maximum of five.
However, if there is a special recommendation letter, an opportunity for an irregular promotion test is given.
What Vinchen wanted was not a ‘promotion’, but an ‘opportunity to take the promotion test’.
“If I get a promotion through my mother’s power, it’s not a fair promotion. It would also deprive someone of their chance.”
If Vinchen is promoted right away, the number of cadets who can be promoted this year will be reduced to four.
It meant that someone could be deprived of an opportunity without fair competition.
Versa picked up her fork again.
I picked up the buttered and browned mushrooms and put it in my mouth and mumbled it.
“I will win through fair competition.”
“Your beliefs are very right.”
Versa enjoyed eating with Vincen.
She finished her meal, put down the cutlery, and wiped her mouth with a napkin.
“Your belief is a very slow belief.”
“….”
“But it is also the belief that can go the farthest.”
can go the furthest
can fly the highest
Vincen’s method was such a method.
“There was a time when I also had the same beliefs as you.”
“Isn’t it now?”
“I have lived too many years to dream of such a belief, and now I have too many things on my back. Now I’m at an age where I can choose to go fast rather than go far.”
There was a little warmth in Versa’s eyes as she looked at Vincen.
“Don’t cheer for your rightness.”
* * *
That night.
Versa visited Khan’s study.
The two were a couple, but not like any other couple.
Their conversation was very dry.
“What does your wife mean?”
It would not be simply to support Vincen’s beliefs.
Gaju Khan judged so.
“Samion might be deeply involved in this matter.”
“Evidence?”
“no.”
I had a heart attack, but no physical symptoms.
The evidence was only the ‘sense of Samion’ that Vincen felt.
“The best tactic to sway an opponent is to mix the truth of 9 with the lie of 1. Now I’m going to watch Samion’s response.”
Versa acted as if she was thoroughly revealing ‘everything’.
Actually revealed most things.
But nothing about ‘Samion’ was said.
“They will believe we didn’t figure anything out. I will be more vigilant and one day the loophole will be exposed.”
“…”
“I saw with my own eyes Vinchen breaking Tiloban’s barrier and cutting off the black magic. It would have been impossible if Tiloban had truly been a fully matured warlock.”
Their methods were crude enough to be cut by a 9th grade cadet’s sword.
If you were not careful, it would be even worse.
“This is also Vincen’s idea.”
“Can I interpret this to mean that your wife got help from Vincen?”
“yes. I didn’t appreciate it for 14 years.”
Khan didn’t react much.
Khan, who was thinking about something, opened his mouth.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen a wife praise her child.”
* * *
Maria, the chief reporter of The Sound of the Wind, was delighted to be invited by Adenka to attend the official announcement.
She had just finished her solo interview with Versa.
‘I even got a solo interview with Mrs. Versailles. This is a complete scoop!’
The heart of Adenca.
Only those with special permission are allowed to enter this home.
Since I was invited here, I decided to do all I could for coverage.
I looked around and found someone.
“uh? Aren’t you priest Doulan?”
She smelled the scoop again.
“I knew that Adenca requested dispatch to the temple to test black magic, but… To think that would be priest Dulan!”
Dulan priest.
He was now a second-class priest even externally.
Although it was not officially announced, Mi was one of the candidates for the next generation of high priests at the Gaia Temple.
He was famous for having tremendous divine power enough to overwhelm other candidates.
Doolan was used to this situation, but it seemed a little uncomfortable.
“Who are you?”
“Oh, I am such a person.”
handed out a business card.
“This is Maria of the Sound of the Wind.”
“…ah! It is you.”
Doolan’s expression brightened.
Maria was a little puzzled by that.
“Do you know me?”
“Of course I know.”
Maria’s heart thumped.
‘Have I become famous?’
He only became famous among news reporters, but people who are not related to news magazines would recognize his name.
‘A second-class priest recognized me!’
Laughter leaked out
afterward .
“I heard that you have a close relationship with Prince Vincen.”
“He’s the one with the exclusive contract.”
“Do you need an interview by any chance?”
Priests do not respond well to interviews.
In the first place, they are a privileged class and do not reveal themselves except for official events.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that there are very few cases where an interview is proposed first.
“Are you doing this interview?”
“Sure.”
Doolan chuckled.
“If you are a friend of Confucius Vincenzo, you are also my friend.”
“Bah, can I keep the words I just said as an official record?”
“Sure.”
Maria’s hands were busy.
“Please tell me once more. We need a recording.”
Maria, who spoke out in a hurry, felt sorry for her.
I made the second-class priest repeat the same thing.
This was clearly rude.
‘You idiot! Only your heart is ahead!’
However, Doolan’s expression did not change.
He still spoke with a mild expression.
“If you are a friend of Confucius Vincenzo, you are also my friend.”
Another incident started to happen.
