Episode 100: Requesting a Visit to the Empire
It wasn’t just Zeke who turned to stone at Eucliwood’s words.
Not only the receptionist, but even Ray froze.
Especially in the case of Ray, it was something I had never even thought about.
At their reaction, Eucliwood sighed.
“Haa… That’s why I didn’t want to tell you yet.”
Why is the family’s mission so mysterious?
One word from her was enough to embarrass even the receptionist.
“Is that the mission given to the family?”
Euclid, who returned with an expressionless expression to Soyoung’s words, answered.
“That’s right.”
Since everything has already been revealed, it cannot be hidden.
Her original plan to approach him by building intimacy was shattered.
Eucliwood took Ray’s hand.
“I will not hide it any longer after it has been revealed.”
“Eek!?”
“Why do you think I set myself up as a servant?”
When Eucliwood asked, there were innumerable things that could be guessed.
Zeke covered his mouth with his hand and spoke with a gaze as if looking at a monster.
“Could it be… everyone aiming for this…?”
“That’s right.”
oh my god!
The mission of the family is absolute. It’s true that you don’t dare to go against it.
However, no matter how much it is said, how could the son of a famous family claim to be a servant!
It’s true that you don’t cover the means and methods for the purpose!
Ray said as he pulled out his hand.
“wait for a sec! I have no intention of getting married yet!”
His face, which had been fighting confidently against the necromancer, instantly turned into embarrassment.
However, Eucliwood still spoke in an incoherent voice.
“I have no intention of getting married any time soon. If you take your time and do it slowly, it won’t be too late. Above all, the saint is still fifteen. You have two years left to become an adult. Don’t be in too much of a hurry.”
“I think two years is enough soon!”
“In the meantime, you can gradually change your mind.”
No matter what you say, it doesn’t work
Judging from the reactions of Zeke and the receptionist, it seems that the family’s mission is so important that I dare not say anything else.
Interfering with the mission of another family is clearly beyond the line, so I can’t say anything about it.
Zeke stopped eating the meat and dropped to his knees.
“…Forgive me for not being able to stop it, Holy Son.”
“I have no intention of getting married!”
Ray groaned.
He just wanted the three families to come together and cooperate.
No, that purpose has been achieved. Because they introduced each other and followed their opinions.
But I didn’t know that there was an unexpected ambush.
Are you married? Getting married while still busy thinking about the future!
Ray shook his head. If Aira had heard it, it would have been a big deal.
* * *
“…what is it?”
“…Everyone has situations that are hard to say…”
Rey weakly replied to Iriel’s words.
She looked down at the three in front of her.
Eucliwood, who clings close to him and does not intend to fall, Ray, who has given up, and Zeke, who is restless like a wife who has lost her husband to a concubine.
What on earth happened to them after they didn’t come back for over two days?
Iriel looked at Eucliwood, who crossed his arms with Ray.
For some reason, that look annoys me.
“Please stay away from me, Mr. Eucliwood.”
“The servant always needs to support the one who serves him by his side.”
It’s true, but it seems like you’re taking care of me too closely.
At this level, it would be more accurate to say that he sealed the person who served him so that he could not move.
Iriel frowned.
“Looking at him now, I don’t think anyone would think he was helping, right?”
“Certainly so. Excuse me.”
Eucliwood didn’t say anything and untied his arms.
However, the distance did not change.
They didn’t cross their arms, but they were close enough to touch their shoulders.
“…”
Iriel said with an awkward laugh.
“Ho-ho-ho… don’t you think it’s too close?”
“It is to quickly hear what the Holy Son needs, so don’t worry too much.”
“I didn’t realize it. Eucliwood is a very exemplary person as a servant. Ho ho ho.”
Jjirit-
The fierce fight between the two could not continue.
This is because many countries have been waiting for him after hearing that Ray has returned.
Gregory looked at Ray and slightly lowered his head.
“Meet two adults. Holy Son, please forgive me for the rudeness I committed last time.”
At that, Ray looked at Gregory and shook his head.
“Never mind.”
“thank you. And this is the meaning of our apology.”
While talking, Gregory handed over a small jewelry box.
Ray couldn’t stop the corners of his mouth from rising at the thought of being a gift.
“Ah, what kind of apology again… You don’t have to give me something like this…”
Even as he speaks, his hand moves slowly to the jewelry.
When I opened the box I received, there was a black earring.
Strangely enough, the earring, which was full of ink, had only one side.
At that, Ray tilted his head.
Aren’t earrings originally a pair? Did you even change the other one?
Gregory explained his appearance.
“Rarely, small crystals form on the tip of a wyvern’s tail. Earrings made by specially processing the gem are that. Originally, it would be correct to give one pair, but no one knows the material of one earring. Legend has it that the rest of the pair are waiting for a fate somewhere.”
“A legend?”
What’s the legend of the earring?
While thinking that, Iriel recognized the earring.
“Cecily’s eyes!”
“…What kind of eyes?”
It’s all just unknown words.
Iriel looked at the earring in admiration.
“A few hundred years ago there was an elf named Cecily. She was a famous craftsman even among the elves who lived through the ages. The name is still passed down among humans! One of her creations is that earring!”
How high a name is, a legend attached to each earring.
Ray smelled something strange.
‘Giving this to me… It looks like you have something you want?’
Perhaps guessing his intentions, Gregory burst into laughter and said,
“Don’t be shy. It’s just an apology from the Lessian Empire.”
“I don’t feel pressured at all.”
What Ray said was true.
For he had no burden at all now.
“ha ha ha. By the way, I have something to say to the saint from the Lessian Empire…”
As Gregory was about to start talking, people from other kingdoms came to visit.
They kept their biggest competitor, the Lessian Empire in check.
They cut off Gregory’s words and entered.
‘Here, we must not lose the saint to the Lessian Empire.’
“Meet two adults. Holy Son, I am a gay man from Baybon Kingdom. It is none other than our Baybon Kingdom…”
“Meet the adults. I…”
Thanks to that, many stories were jumbled together.
Ray shook his head and cleaned up the noisy hall.
“I’ll listen to you, so calm down. Let’s start with the Lessian Empire. What did you just say?”
“Hmm. thank you.”
Gregory secretly shot his eyes around him.
Those in the other kingdoms could not make a sound at the small killing blows that the Sword Master had decided to shoot.
Let’s say the leader of the knights, he’s an advanced Auror user.
They weren’t opponents of Gregory, who had already become a sword master in the past.
he continued.
“We, the Lesian Empire, want a visit from the Holy Son to deepen our relationship with the Holy Kingdom. If you don’t mind, would you accompany us to the Empire?”
Ah….
A sigh of pity flowed from many people’s mouths.
Regardless of the country, the key to this topic was who spoke first.
This is because if the first country to speak is rejected, it is certain that the next country will be rejected when it speaks.
That’s also true, because if you reject the previous country’s request and accept the next country’s request, there can be injustice between who and what.
If such inequality occurred in this place where many kingdoms gathered, it could poison the kingdom later.
Ray knew that too.
‘Is the Lessian Empire me?’
Perhaps it was to test the force shown at the summit?
Lay, who did not know what was said after he left the previous meeting, could only guess that way.
In fact, Ray’s powerlessness turned out to be true.
There were so many witnesses to prove that fact, and he even had the heart of the dragon.
Ray thought about the future for a moment.
‘The Lessian Empire is the strongest country on the continent. There’s nothing wrong with having diplomatic relations with such countries.’
In addition, he made up his mind to visit the Lessian Empire someday, even though it was a distant future.
In the Lessian Empire, there were quite a few people who mainly depended on medical knowledge because of the low level of information.
At least compared to other kingdoms and castles, the level of medicine will be different.
Contrary to his sincere thoughts, the empire was very dark, though.
When Ray visited the Empire, they intended to capture him at all costs.
Gregory added, knowing that he was quite optimistic.
“I have heard rumors about the saint for the past few days. It is said that the farming method devised by the Holy Son has tripled the yield of crops. In addition, I heard that the mercenary priest also had the saint’s opinion?”
“Even though Iriel helped.”
As Ray spoke, he looked at Iriel once.
Then, Iriel winked one eye.
Eucliwood’s beautiful eyes twitched slightly at the sight.
Gregory continued.
“If the Holy Son visits Lessian, I would like to talk about it as well.”
At his words, Ray thought for a moment.
‘It looks like the Lessian Empire is preparing something… I don’t know what it is. Jeop
.
Even if you know what it is, the Seongguk has quite a lot of work to do.
It is the move of the strongest country. It wouldn’t be a normal thing.
But there was something he didn’t know either.
That business was not about the farming methods of the Holy Land or mercenary priests.
Just attracting a saint to their country.
And to tie them together as blood ties that are the most difficult to unravel.
That is the business that the Lessian Empire is planning.
Gregory thought quietly.
‘If the saint really killed the dragon he saw, it would no longer be the strongest nation on the continent… From now on, the strongest nation will be where the strongest person is.’
