Chapter 576
Aris lifted her gaze up to the podium with her shoulders drooping.
“Can you send it to me right now? “When will the day come when I can go to Seifia other than this time?”
She put her hands together, saying she wanted to go on a new journey.
“Didn’t I tell you? “You can’t leave one step from here until you do what you’ve been putting off.”
Glenn shook his head resolutely, as if he had no idea.
“I’m not doing this because I want to have fun.”
Aris pointed with her thumb to the door Raon and Rimmer had exited and frowned.
“What if someone kidnaps the rare genius Raon? Even if you go and find it then, it will be too late!”
She confidently patted her chest and said that she would escort him.
“I don’t want to have trouble with Seifia because of you.”
Glenn waved his hand, saying it was a hassle to increase the number of enemies any further.
“Why are you losing Chuck? I’m just going sightseeing! “I’ll stay still like a doll and then come back.”
“I think you can go to that closed place and just stay still.”
He snorted, saying he would rather believe Rimmer’s words.
“Besides, Rimmer is not going to Seifia as Sieghart’s envoy, but is only stopping by his hometown. “There is no need to worry because the fact that they are going outside will not be revealed.”
“Sejak could be hiding again!”
Aris stamped his feet and frowned so much that the throne room shook.
“Syrian Slion may have gone crazy on his own, but the Rakion family itself rebelled. “There might be people like that even within the family!”
She exhaled violently, as if she was genuinely worried about Raon.
“Do you know why there are so many squealing rats in Sieghardt? It’s because of my father. “If you had forced him into submission by force, you would have had to suppress him until the end, but you gave him a chance to raise his head high.”
Aris gave Glenn a scolding look.
“You had to crack down not only on Oma but also inside!”
“You say all the right things.”
Glenn calmly nodded even after hearing Aris’ sharp words.
“It is my fault, as you said, because the scars that were left when I was just following the path of defeat have only opened up now.”
“father?”
Aris’ eyes widened as if surprised by Glenn’s calm reaction.
“However, the search for spies had already begun. “The internal audit has already been completed, and we have been searching the royal family since last month, so the results will be released soon.”
Glenn looked at Aris with sunken eyes and continued speaking.
“There is no need to worry about Raon. “From now on, I will take all the malice toward Sieghardt.”
“Hmm…”
Aris just pursed her lips and couldn’t say anything.
“Why are you so surprised when you said the right thing?”
Glenn let out a weak laugh and rested his chin on his fist.
‘okay. That’s right.’
In the days when it was invaded by the devil, all rules and regulations were established simply by force.
If you resisted, you would beheaded, and if you refused, they would push away anything. Since I lived as a devil controlled by power, it is natural for the evil deeds of that time to come back as a sword.
However, the person whose malice is directed must be me. I didn’t want to cause any more harm to Raon and the other children.
“Something…”
Aris relaxed her stern expression and looked at Glenn.
“You’ve changed.”
“Has it changed?”
“yes. “I think he passed away before Sylvia was born.”
She smiled faintly, saying that it reminded her of a past that had been so long that she couldn’t even remember it anymore.
“It’s an illusion.”
Glenn waved his hand saying it wasn’t like that.
“No, that’s right.”
Aris jerked her head up.
“If it had been my father before, he would have just yelled at me to get out rather than acknowledging what I said a moment ago.”
“….”
Glenn did not answer those words and buried his back on the throne.
‘I guess so.’
When I was immersed in darkness, I didn’t listen to anyone’s advice and just looked ahead to move forward. It was a time when much was gained but also much was lost.
profit.
As the father and daughter made eye contact for a moment, the door to the throne room opened and Roen came in.
“I told you this.”
Roen bowed his head to Glenn and stood next to Aris.
“Did you give it to Raon?”
Glenn asked the most important part first.
“yes. “I delivered this to Raon.”
Roen smiled as if it was natural.
“Kuhm! Good work.”
Glenn nodded slightly, curling his mouth as if satisfied.
“Hmm, now I know who changed my father.”
Aris looked up at Glenn with a slight smile as if he was amused.
“father. I don’t think it’s ever too late. Let’s just commit it and regret it.”
She clenched her fists as she spoke words that reflected her personality.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“You know everything!”
Aris narrowed her eyes as if reading Glenn’s thoughts.
“Worry briefly and act quickly. You know?”
“….”
“I’ll just leave then.”
“Aris.”
As she waved her hand and was about to leave the throne room, Glenn frowned.
“If you run away and follow Raon, your pirate game will be over.”
“Ugh!”
Aris turned her trembling head and smiled awkwardly.
“You’ve become more perceptive….”
* * *
“It’s neat.”
Rimmer entered the restaurant and whistled.
“I see. “The food smells good too.”
Dorian sniffed and laughed.
“That’s because they use good butter. “It looks like something was mixed into the milk…”
Yua also blinked quickly, as if she was interested in the food at the restaurant.
“Let’s sit down first.”
Raon sat the three people down, each talking only about what he wanted to say, and sighed.
They all had strong personalities, so if you let them talk, there would be no end to it.
“Ugh, I heard that sleeping on the street is really not something to do.”
Rimmer massaged his right shoulder with his left hand and clicked his tongue.
“Let’s find a place to stay in this town today.”
“Why are you being so cruel with only two days?”
Raon sat down opposite Rimmer and shook his head.
“Dorian’s tent and sleeping bags are as good as luxury lodgings.”
“Yes?”
Dorian, who was praised, smiled broadly with his eyes wide open.
“okay. “Thanks to you, I slept comfortably last night.”
Dorian took out the completed tent from the boat bag without any need for installation and set up a fire pit for cooking.
To be honest, it was more comfortable and better than most high-end inns.
“It’s a necessity.”
Dorian waved his hand as if it was no big deal. Tents and fires are truly necessities for travel, but it was truly amazing to see a completed tent or fire pit pop out right away.
“Then let’s think about accommodation later and place the order first. What good would it be? Because I have a lot of money. Shall I order everything?”
Rimer opened the menu brought by the clerk and quenched his appetite. He already considered the money he received from Glenn as his own.
“I want this meat pie and pizza.”
Yua said that you can only tell the chef’s skills by ordering a general menu, so he ordered something that wasn’t very special.
“What I have in my pocket is enough…”
Dorian must have been in a good mood after receiving the compliment from earlier, so he came to the restaurant and took out the fork and knife he used when eating outdoors and placed them on the table.
“….”
The clerk started looking at him like he was crazy.
“Huh…”
Raon touched his temple as he looked at the three people who were each saying only what they wanted to say.
‘I’m tired…’
As I sighed, thinking I was out of my mind, blue cotton candy bounced out of the ice flower bracelet.
-Why are you staying still? You should cook quickly too!
‘I don’t really want to eat anything.’
-I don’t care about your snout! I want to eat it! Order everything on the menu!
Lars held out his round hand, telling me to order all the food.
‘I can’t even eat it all.’
-You know! The true king must eat what he wants to be satisfied!
‘Be quiet before eating Nadine bread in the restaurant.’
-Sigh!
As soon as the name Nadine Bread came out, the guy shut his mouth tightly.
– I’m going to kill you. I will kill you unconditionally!
A sound of cursing someone flowed from Lars’s tightly closed lips. It seemed clear that he was the maker of Nadin bread in Seifia.
“My lord.”
Raon called out to Rimer, who finished his order first.
“Is the maker of Nadine bread really an elf?”
“Can’t you believe it?
Rimmer handed the menu to Dorian and nodded.
“It’s surprising that elf food spread to the human world, but what’s most surprising is that it’s Nadin bread.”
“Actually, there are circumstances.”
“circumstances?”
“The guy who made Nadine bread made it to make a living.”
He laughed and said he was a pretty funny guy.
“What do you mean…”
As I was about to ask Rimmer again, I heard my name in the voices of people at the table next to me.
“Did you hear the rumor that Raon Sieghardt became Grand Master?”
“uh? “I heard that he was called a dragon slayer after killing the bright dragon Kaibar, but suddenly he’s some kind of grand master?”
When Raon turned his head, two middle-aged men dressed as mercenaries were chatting while emptying beer mugs.
“Tsk tsk the news is slow. “That was a long time ago!”
The bald mercenary clicked his tongue and shook his head.
“You know the Rakion family, right?”
“He’s a vassal of Sieghart who is said to be amazing with a long sword.”
The mercenary with the goatee put down his beer glass and blinked.
“okay. That proud family was preparing to join hands with the Holy Swordsman and betray Sieghart…
Where did the bald mercenary get the information? He knew everything that happened in the Rakion family.
However, his name was not mentioned as the story about the Sword Demon had not yet spread.
“It’s amazing that he fell into a trance on the battlefield, but he really broke the barrier and became a Grand Master? “Honestly, I don’t believe it…”
The goat-bearded mercenary let out a sigh, shaking the hand holding the glass.
“Whether you believe it or not, it is true that Raon Sieghardt became Grand Master. “There are a lot of rumors!”
“How old is Raon Sieghardt now?”
“Maybe you’re 21?”
“Even if I became a master at 21, I would still be the youngest person ever to become a grand master at 21? I don’t think we are the same person….”
“He is the greatest talent in the history of the continent. Plus, you have excellent chivalry. “I heard there’s a book coming out that describes his actions so far, and I’m not even jealous anymore.”
“I heard you have an amazing face. What did you say?”
“The world is so unfair. “Just drink!”
The mercenaries raised their beer glasses again, saying, “Let’s have a drink.”
“Hmm…”
Raon looked away from the mercenaries and licked his lips.
‘Something is strange.’
Even though it wasn’t Sieghardt’s territory, it was new for strangers to tell me rumors about me.
Even when other people told me that I had become famous, I didn’t feel anything, but when I heard the mercenaries’ conversation, I felt like the story of becoming famous really touched my skin.
“Isn’t it fun?”
Rimmer took a sip of the beer that came out first and grinned.
“Being strong also means becoming famous. Now your name has spread beyond Sieghart and across the continent. It means that no matter what you do, people pay attention. “That’s fame.”
He snapped his fingers, saying that they would be together for the rest of their lives. As I said, my name was now popping up at other tables as well.
“You have a better reputation than anyone else in Sieghardt. Because it’s a good thing. Be proud.”
Rimmer smiled, enjoying this moment.
“I’m jealous…”
Dorian scratched his stomach pouch and opened his mouth.
“Even if someone wants to make their name known, they don’t!”
He sighed, saying he had to take the master quickly.
“You can do it!”
As always, Yua smiled brightly and gave encouragement with her lively voice.
-Keu…
Lars walked around the table and frowned.
-You damn humans! What I am saying is, don’t be a brat like this and respect the real king!
The guy screamed as if he was angry that his name wasn’t called.
-It won’t work! He has descended once again and brought the fear of the real king to all humans in this land…
“Food has arrived.”
-let’s eat!
Lars frowned, but as soon as the clerk brought the food, he smiled broadly and waggled his tail.
‘The fear is so damn…’
* * *
Raon raised his gaze in front of the blue world. Everything in front of me shines green.
From the trees that seem to be beckoning toward the sky to the bushes and grass that fills the space between them. I thought I knew why this place was called a great forest.
“Wow.”
Yua exclaimed as she looked at the view of the forest.
“Is this Seifia?”
“This forest is a major forest and Seipia is inside.”
Rimmer stroked the infant’s head and smiled softly.
Raon heard Rimer’s words and released his energy into the forest. However, the concentration of mana inside was so dense that it was not easy to control the aurors.
‘I’m an Auror, but I can’t really feel anything.’
I thought there might be a secret or barrier hidden inside the great forest, but it didn’t seem much different from an ordinary forest.
“Is there no such thing as a barrier?”
“there is.”
Rimmer shook his head.
“Well, I can’t feel anything….”
“It’s a natural maze.”
“A natural maze?”
“okay. “Elves can communicate with nature, albeit to a small extent.”
He laughed, saying that this forest itself was the castle wall and eyes of the elves.
“Can you do it too, my lord?”
Dorian looked at Rimmer and tilted his head.
“of course!”
“But why have I never seen anything like that before?”
“uh? hmm. “I forgot.”
Rimmer laughed, saying that he had forgotten that he was an elf until now.
“Really…”
Raon sighed, looking at Rimmer scratching the back of his head.
-Are you sure you can trust that earplug and go in?
Lars frowned as if he was worried about himself.
‘I’m a little confused now too…’
However, since I came this far, I had no choice. I had to follow that crazy elf.
“Anyway, let’s go in.”
Rimmer smiled and stretched out his hand, and the bushes parted, naturally opening a path.
“Wow! “Your Majesty, you really are an elf!”
The toddler jumped up and down as if he was excited.
“I thought I was just a person with long ears!”
“I heard I’m an elf. “Have you ever seen such a handsome person?”
“Raon.”
“Ugh….”
Rimmer was unable to refute Yua’s bold answer and went into the forest.
Hwaaaaa!
Following his gesture, the jungle, which had been so thick with bushes and trees that it was difficult for a child to enter, split apart and opened up a space for people to pass through. For the first time, Rimmer looked like an elf.
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the swaying bushes and trees.
‘It’s not caused by mana.’
It seemed that this forest did not recognize Rimmer’s mana, but felt the presence of an elf named Rimmer and opened the way.
As I walked for a while, observing the new yet mysterious sight, I felt a small presence in front of me.
It sounded like a small animal passing by or the wind brushing against the bushes, but the scent of mana was stronger than that. It was the presence of an elf like Rimmer.
“It’s finally come out.”
Rimmer also seemed to have sensed the presence of the elves and stopped walking, looking at the thick thorny vines that were not opening.
“Do not come any closer than that.”
A woman’s voice without any emotion was heard from inside the thorn vine.
“Outsiders are not allowed in now. Please go back.”
In a voice like the wind of the North Sea, she signaled her intention to attack if they approached.
-Why are all ear plugs so cheap?
Lars gritted his teeth, glaring inside the vine.
-For blocking the King’s path, cut off his head right now!
‘Will that work?’
-Then, do whatever stupid thing you are good at!
The guy, probably because of Rimmer’s hatred of elves, shouted to burn down this entire forest.
“Don’t you know me?”
Rimmer waved his hand lightly and approached the thorn vines.
“I…”
As he tried to walk further forward, an arrow flew out of the thorn vines and stuck on the floor.
Peeeeeeee!
So strong was the force that the arrow stuck in the floor vibrated violently.
“Ugh…”
Rimmer swallowed dry saliva when he saw the arrow stuck on the floor.
“You don’t know me.”
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled awkwardly.
“Do not approach. “It seems like he was born outside of his country, but if he wasn’t of his country, he would have an arrow stuck in his neck right now.”
A voice came from behind the thorn vines, sounding even more frozen than before.
“Well, it’s been a long time, so the Guardians must have all changed. I’m not an outsider. “He was born in Seifia.”
Rimmer shook his head and took a step forward.
“Don’t lie. There is no way that a compatriot born in Seifia would not know how important this time is…”
“If you don’t know me, you will know this sword, right?”
He interrupted the female elf and tapped the sword on his belt.
“….”
Silence continued for a moment in the bushes. and.
Peeeeeeee!
An arrow, faster and more violent than the first, grazed Rimmer’s earlobe.
“He is the thief of divine goods! Attack everyone!”
Dozens of arrows shot out simultaneously from the thorn vines along with the female elf’s eerie voice.
“Aaaaaaagh!”
Rimmer was scared and took a step back.
“I knew it would be like this.”
Raon gritted his teeth as he blocked Rimmer’s path.
“What on earth have you been doing for a living?”
