Chapter 553
Sylvia looked at Raon blankly, as if she had not yet felt reality.
“Raon. My Danjeon….”
“Yes. “It was a success.”
Raon nodded, looking at Sylvia’s eyes shaking like blades of grass swept by the wind.
“Can you feel it?”
“okay.”
Sylvia cried and nodded.
“I can feel the mana circuit and the mana.”
She lifted her gaze and touched her lower abdomen with trembling hands.
“that’s right. “The whole world was filled with mana like this.”
“….”
Raon gently held Sylvia’s trembling hand.
“I never thought I’d feel this way again.”
Sylvia laughed awkwardly. A single tear flowed down my reddened cheek.
“thank you. “I have nothing else to say.”
Her lips trembled as she repeated the words thank you.
-You don’t have to be thankful!
Lars sniffled, his nose turning red, and he clung to Silvia’s cheek.
-Thank you for your hard work! Mom, from now on, only walk on flower paths!
The guy shook his head, saying he would make her happier in the future.
‘Get out of the way.’
Raon pushed Ras away and wiped away the tears from Sylvia’s eyes.
“It’s nothing compared to what my mother did for me.”
If he had not been born as Sylvia’s son, Raon Sieghardt, who grew up with many relationships, would not have existed.
Perhaps, like in his previous life, he gave up all human joys and sorrows and cried out as a vengeful spirit burning both others and himself in order to kill Derus.
Because Sylvia was by my side, I was able to learn about the warmth of home with my family and the importance of colleagues. It was all thanks to her that I went from a murderer to a human being.
“Do you by any chance remember?”
Sylvia smiled innocently, holding the hand that was wiping away her tears.
“Before you even turned one, you wiped away my tears like you do now.”
“….”
Raon nodded briefly without answering.
‘There’s no way I could forget.’
When Glenn first came to visit and gave me the name Raon, I remembered Sylvia crying sadly and wiping away her tears without realizing it.
“At that time, I promised myself that I would protect you at all costs, but I don’t think I did it properly. “On the contrary, I received a lot of help from you.”
Sylvia took Raon’s hand in her arms and bit her lip.
“My heart aches every time I see you. I wanted the child to grow up like a child, but you grew up too quickly due to family circumstances. “I felt really bad because I felt like it was my fault.”
She told her story for the first time.
“That thought has not changed even now. At the age of 21, if you come from a family like this, you should go out and cause accidents, do crazy things, drink, and act out, but from the beginning, you only looked ahead. “It was both proud and sad.”
Sylvia lifted her finger and lightly pinched Raon’s cheek and lifted it up.
“Because only good things remain. From now on, smile like you are your age. “That’s all I want from you.”
-Mom, you don’t know much! That guy laughs a lot!
Lars flew in front of Sylvia and shook his head.
-But that Yapsil only laughs when he is bullying and making fun of others! The evil devil himself… ugh!
‘shut up.’
Raon slapped the stumbling Lars with the back of his hand and smiled brightly at Sylvia.
“I will try.”
“also! I heard that I gave birth to my son with a wonderful face. What did they say? ah! “Good job!”
Sylvia touched Raon’s cheek and nodded loudly.
“Mom…”
Raon sighed with a clearly tired face.
“Stop looking at my face and check it out now. “Does the Danjeon’s mana move well?”
“To be honest, this still doesn’t seem real.”
Sylvia swallowed her saliva as if she still couldn’t believe that a new Danjeon had been created.
“I’ll give it a try.”
She exhaled slowly and raised her hands. Sea-green mana surged above the wide open hand.
A graceful movement like a dolphin swimming. Even after more than 20 years of absence, Sylvia Sieghardt’s fortune seemed not to have died.
“This is my auror…”
Sylvia’s red eyes fluttered at the beautiful yet pure form of mana.
“Originally my mana was yellow, but now it is blue.”
“Isn’t it great?”
“No, I like it better because you gave it to me. “You’re pretty.”
She waved her hand, saying it was better now.
“How do you plan to use that auror in the future?”
The amount of mana contained in Sylvia’s Danjeon is greater than that of the Grand Master.
What she would do was very important because if she recovered her stamina and body and raised her level of martial arts, she could reach the level of a grand master in a short period of time.
“That has already been decided.”
The sea-green mana fluttering from Silvia’s hand spread widely and formed a shield-like shape.
“I will protect this annex.”
As the sun began to set, she smiled as she looked at the window showing the sunset.
“I will protect your precious things while you are gone.”
Sylvia wasn’t saying she wanted to stay here because she was afraid of a fight. Above all else, the will to protect what was precious was reflected in her eyes.
“yes. Do by that way.”
Raon nodded because he could understand Sylvia’s feelings.
“There are a lot of people I need to say hello to before then. “First of all, let’s start with Encia…”
In the midst of all this, Sylvia started counting the people she needed to thank first.
“ah!”
When I heard that, Glenn came to mind.
“why?”
“Actually, I didn’t do it alone to inherit my mother’s dantian and mana circuit.”
“Of course you know that. Encia and the people who protected us from outside…”
“That’s not it, the head of the family came a month ago.”
“Matriarch?”
“yes. “He came at night…”
Raon told Sylvia everything he had learned from Glenn’s teachings today.
“I see.”
Sylvia kept her head down for a long time, as if she had no idea something like that had happened.
“First of all, I think it would be a good idea to find a liquor called Peryton Blanc that the matriarch wants to drink and bring it with her…” “
No.”
She shook her head resolutely and stood up.
“Get that drink and invite the matriarch to dinner tomorrow.”
“yes?”
Raon looked at Sylvia and widened his eyes.
“Will the matriarch come?”
From what I’ve seen of Glenn’s personality so far, it seemed like he would be satisfied with fixing Sylvia’s short circuit and wouldn’t come even if I called him.
“No, he will come.”
Sylvia spoke with confidence and approached the door.
“Oh mom! “Wait…”
Raon tried to stop, but Sylvia had already opened the door.
“omg! lady!”
Helen, who was squatting on the floor, ran to Sylvia.
“lady!”
“Are you okay?”
“I’m glad you’re safe!”
All the maids also stood in front of Sylvia with tears in their eyes.
“It’s thanks to having a good son.”
Sylvia nodded and raised an aura over her hand. Mana, resembling a fish, swam leisurely in the air.
“It was successful…”
Encia put her hands together and took a deep breath. Although she appeared confident, she also seemed very nervous on the inside.
“Thank you everyone.”
Sylvia smiled brightly as she hugged the maids, including Encia.
“Hmm…”
“But…”
“There’s a smell of a gutter somewhere…”
The maids Encia and Helen backed away from Sylvia, covering their noses. There were some maids who had weak stomachs and were nauseous.
“uh?”
Sylvia widened her eyes as if wondering what was going on.
“Hey…”
Raon scratched the back of his head and pointed to Sylvia at things that looked like black grime on the carpet.
“Because those are waste products from my mother’s body. The smell will be very strong…”
“Then you should tell me before opening the door!”
Sylvia ran up with a red face and hit Raon in the chest with her palm.
Baaaaaaaa!
Due to the sudden shock, Raon was unable to control his legs and the wall collapsed and he was thrown out. Silvia, who was embarrassed, was unable to control her power.
“La Raon!”
“young master!”
“Aaaah!”
Sylvia and the maids screamed as they followed Raon, who was thrown out, outside.
-….
Lars looked at that and smoothed his chin.
-Is being violent a family trait?
* * *
Cheryl clenched her fists as she looked at the bustling annex.
“It looks like it was a success!”
“okay.”
Glenn, who was crossing his arms behind her, nodded slowly.
“I connected the mana circuit and danteon properly.”
Glenn smiled warmly as he looked at Sylvia looking at Raon, who had collapsed.
‘I never thought I’d see that kid handling mana again.’
Sylvia showed a flawless appearance while raising Raon, but there was always a dark shadow in the corner of her eyes.
It is only natural that he lost the Danjeon, a punishment worse than death, to a warrior.
However, as the new dantian settled in, the darkness that had permeated her complexion completely disappeared.
It felt like young Sylvia, whom I had not seen properly because I was addicted to witchcraft, had returned.
“Whoa.”
Roen must have been nervous, too, as he sighed and rubbed his chest.
“It’s rewarding to teach Periton martial arts. Master Raon did a really great job.”
“okay. “Now you seem to know better than me.”
Glenn raised the corners of his mouth thinly as he looked at Raon, who stood up in a daze.
‘Good work.’
Even if he taught Periton martial arts, it was Raon’s credit to use it perfectly.
I was just proud of Raon, who treated Sylvia with greater accomplishments than expected.
“I think they’re having a party to commemorate Sylvia’s recovery of her power supply.”
Cheryl smiled and turned around as if she heard a noise from the annex.
“The head of the family must go too.”
She pointed to the annex with her finger and asked me to come with her.
“….”
Glenn did not answer, but quietly looked down at the annex.
“It would be better to let happy days be spent with people who can properly share the joy.”
He shook his head and turned around.
“Matriarch….”
“Let me stop.”
After seeing the brightly smiling faces of Sylvia and Raon, Glenn left Bukmangsan Mountain without any regrets.
“well.”
Roen smiled empty-handedly, looking at Raon, not Glenn.
“You might think differently, Master.”
* * *
Raon massaged her chest as she headed toward the annex garden.
‘It hurts…’
No matter how unprepared she was, the shock felt as if she had been hit in the chest with a sledgehammer. It seemed as if Sylvia’s strength had been fully revived.
However, I don’t know if I should be happy about this because it hurts so much.
“The annex is always noisy.”
The swordsman who was standing guard in front of the main gate let out a laugh.
“How is Sylvia’s condition?”
“It ended better than expected. The mana loss is minimal, so if you reach the level, it’s not surprising that you can jump over the wall right away.”
Raon laughed while massaging his chest where Sylvia had hit him.
“It was a lot of hard work.”
Dogoe came over and patted Raon on the shoulder.
“You’ve already saved two people.”
Rimmer, who was lying on the floor, got up and raised his index and middle fingers.
“Me and your mom. “It seems you also have a talent for salvation.”
He smiled and said he did a good job too.
“no. I was just lucky….”
“Before we become too humble, let’s start by paying for the trouble. I’ve been a little short these days. lol.”
Rimmer drew a circle with his raised finger and asked for the money.
Unlike usual, he showed a sense of playfulness while talking about money. It was like a congratulatory message in its own way.
“Thank you both for your help.”
Raon bowed his head to the two people.
“No, don’t change your mind and ask for money for your trouble!”
However, Rimmer seems to have been sincere.
“Crazy.”
Do-gae shook his head as if it was absurd.
Raon ignored Rimmer and approached the garden.
Food!
With a sound like a chicken spreading its wings, Dorian Burren Martha Runan jumped out.
“Why are you here?”
I deliberately didn’t tell them because I was afraid it would disturb the training, but the four of them knew and came all the way here.
“I came because I was worried about that.”
Dorian answered while slightly rolling his eyes.
“If something like this happens, please ask for help.”
Burren frowned as if he was disappointed.
“Do you only use your mouth when eating? “Stop talking a little!”
Martha also ground her teeth in frustration.
“Not good? Looks wrong? “Jonmot!”
Runaan shouted that she looked ugly today and turned her head.
“sorry. “I’m afraid that if I talk about it for no reason, it will interfere with my training.”
“It’s even more disturbing to do this!”
Marta hit her chest with her fist. Fortunately, it was less painful than Sylvia.
“So it ended well, right?”
Buren paused a little and asked.
“okay. “It ended well.”
“Then that’s it.”
He nodded, saying that everything was fine.
“Ugh, I’m so glad…”
Dorian stretched out his mouth, his eyes turning red. Even if my cowardice temperament decreased a little, the fact that I cried a lot didn’t change.
“Whew…”
Runan also took a deep breath and sat down.
Raon smiled slightly as he looked at the team members and Dorian, who had regained their smiles with relief.
‘It was because of my mother that I developed this relationship with these guys.’
If Sylvia hadn’t taught me about the relationship between people, I would have thought of these guys as just competitors.
As expected, I felt like I received more from her.
“But why is your expression so stern?”
Dorian tilted his head and asked, “What are you thinking about when it’s a happy day?”
“I have things to buy and things to do, but it’s a little vague.”
“What is there to buy?”
“It’s a wine called Periton Blanc…”
“Oh, I have that!”
He put his hand into his stomach pocket, saying he had Peryton Blanc.
“hmm?”
However, Dorian did not immediately take out the wine as usual, but took a pause.
‘Isn’t it there? Well, it’s surprising that they’re all there.’
It’s unfortunate, but just when I thought there was nothing I could do, he continued his words.
“How old is it?”
“uh…?”
“There are a lot of Peryton Blancs, so I wonder what year you want them to be. “First of all, we have everything from last year to 30 years ago.”
“That’s all there is?”
“It’s a necessity.”
Raon wasted a lot of time watching Dorian take out peryton blanc by year.
What’s not a necessity for you?
* * *
Glenn buried his back deep in the matriarch’s throne and closed his trembling eyelids.
The bright face of Sylvia that I saw in the annex today came to mind as vividly as if it had been painted.
‘okay. That was enough.’
There were many things I could not do for my youngest daughter, Sylvia. No, I did too many things that I shouldn’t have done.
No matter how much malice and desire dominated my mind, viewing my daughter as worse than a stone on the side of the road was a crime that would never go away.
As soon as I saw Sylvia’s smiling face today, I realized it. I, who do not have the qualifications to be a father or a grandfather, have been hoping for too much these days.
‘You just have to protect me from behind like I do now.’
I didn’t deserve to be with those kids. You have to be satisfied with just being an exterior wall and protecting Raon and Sylvia as if nothing happened. That was right.
Gooooooo.
When Glenn opened his eyes again, he returned to being an absolute being wrapped in emptiness, just like before he met Raon. His bored gaze at the world was as cold as ice.
“Whoa…”
Cheryl let out a low breath, as if she understood Glenn, but at the same time felt uncomfortable.
“….”
Roen stood quietly next to Glenn with his eyes closed.
As the suffocating silence continued, a dull knock was heard from the throne room door.
“I’ll go out.”
When Roen tried to move, Glenn waved his hand.
“Come in.”
Glenn seemed to recognize who was outside and allowed them to enter.
Coo coo coo coo!
The door to the throne room opened and Raon came in. He walked over with a calm expression and knelt down.
“See you, matriarch.”
“Get to the point.”
Glenn waved his hand as if telling him to talk quickly because it was annoying.
“yes.”
Raon stood up and took out five bottles of Periton Blanc from his subspace pocket.
“I brought you the alcohol you mentioned earlier.”
“…is it.”
Glenn twisted his mouth as he looked at the clear bottle of wine in Raon’s hand.
‘This must be the right thing to do.’
I wanted to drink that drink with Raon, but that would be too much compensation for me.
I had to be satisfied with just the fact that my cherished grandson gave me alcohol.
“I’ll drink it well.”
When Glenn gestured with his chin, Loen, who realized what he meant, approached Raon and tried to get a drink.
“Matriarch.”
However, Raon did not hand over the drink to him and looked at Glenn again.
“Today, the periton technique that the head of the family taught me was really helpful in recovering my mother’s dantian. So…”
Raon lifted his gaze as he took the bottle back.
“If it’s okay with you, could we have dinner together at the annex tomorrow?”
He bowed his head, clearly inviting us to come to the annex.
gulp.
Glenn swallowed dryly without realizing it and lifted his back in the chair.
In order not to reveal his current emotions, he strained his entire body and parted his dry lips.
