Episode 737 Oh, My True Brother (2)
Around the time when Ray and Cassius are looking at each other passionately, and Zeke is glaring at him jealously.
Soyoung, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, intervened between them.
“I’m sorry in the middle of a touching family affair, but I have to decide soon. What are you going to do? Aren’t you trying to negotiate with the royal family about the Marquis of Villede?”
He had apparently asked Philia to prepare a place for him.
In the process, it was to organize the nobles of the Chosen People faction.
She was asking about it now.
Ray said it didn’t matter.
“Let’s go to Celia.”
“yes? Then about the Marquis…”
“I’ll take care of it anyway, even if I don’t tell you. There’s no way a woman who becomes the leader of the magic corps wouldn’t notice that much.”
Ray lived in the Kingdom of Gleiman for the past few days and saw many nobles.
Among them, the one who stood out was none other than Philia.
At first glance, she seems to be interested only in magic, but she is a clever woman.
He was proficient not only in politics but also in social affairs, so he couldn’t even dig a bone in front of Philia.
There’s no way she couldn’t organize it even though she laid out this much.
Soyoung nodded.
“Are you trusting me quite a bit?”
“Because she is such a capable woman.”
“Phi. I’m a strong woman too, right? You are a brute to use such a talented woman as your coachman.”
Soyoung inflated her cheeks and grabbed the lead and drove the wagon.
Of course I know.
Recently, it was easy to drive out the nobles thanks to the information power of the reception committee.
Moreover, the nobles, who would normally have opposed it, did not resist with a smile on their faces, and the work went well.
In terms of pure ability alone, each member of the security guard must have far surpassed Philia.
It was only natural that a subordinate who was this competent should be given an award to commend him for his achievements.
But what do they really want?
Come to think of it, I don’t know.
Moving without expecting anything in return.
It was because it was these guards and Zeke, including Eucliwood, who was not present in the three families of the saint.
Even if I try to give a prize, I can’t come up with anything worthy of giving.
‘No.’
Ray groaned.
As soon as I return to the principality, I will think about it slowly.
* * *
Shortly after Ray leaves the Kingdom of Gleiman.
Klein, who hadn’t opened his eyes for a long time, slowly let out a breath.
“ha.”
He came to his senses in the King’s Great War and contemplated himself.
Now he has entered the realm that all prosecutors dream of.
The Mana Road has become incomparably wider and stronger than before.
I felt like I wouldn’t lose to anyone now.
‘This is… Master…’
It was hard to control his trembling heart because he had just reached the stage, but just as much, the road ahead was just as vague.
I knew it only after stepping in.
It means that there is a much more arduous and longer road left than the one we have walked so far.
Hello, is this the master?
He realized once again how insane the expression of reaching the tip of the sword was.
I touched the sword bottle tied to my waist.
beyond the familiar.
As if it were my own help, I feel like it would be natural no matter what I do.
Klein, who dared to draw his sword in the great palace where the king resided, wielded it as he pleased.
Ssss-!
Feel the texture of the air.
The sword he wielded moved comfortably between the grains, and the speed was several times faster than before.
This time, I tried injecting mana into the sword.
Whoa-!
Mana filled with sharpness to the point of being frightening formed on the tip of the sword.
Before long, the Sword Aura split up and began to come together.
Aaaah-!
Mana Falls.
An aura blade that cuts even mithril grew around the sword.
Klein laughed at the dreamlike sight of the aura blade he had been hoping for his whole life growing out of his hand.
“Ha ha ha ha ha.”
You really have become a sword master.
He cautiously swung his sword.
Slow-!
With one playful gesture of the sword, the marble floor cracked open.
“Huh!”
Concentrating on the sword, he moved the sword towards a single point, and the air shrank as if it were being compressed.
A state that cuts even the air.
This is the Sword Master.
Klein came and grabbed the blade.
“It is all thanks to him that I became a master.”
If I had been alone, I would never have attained enlightenment.
It all started with a word from the king, so it was also thanks to him that he was able to become a master.
“It’s not like this! We must tell His Majesty the King about this!”
In the kingdom, the birth of a Master is not a single event.
It was something that would affect the military power right away, so as the head of the Royal Knights, I had an obligation to report it to the King.
Klein opened the gates of Daejeon.
Since he was still at the beginning of his mastery, he couldn’t completely control his momentum, so mana overflowed around him.
The knights who were guarding the Great War were overwhelmed by it and bowed with emotion.
Remedy-!
“Meet the Master!”
“Meet the Master!”
“Congratulations on your achievement!”
one-man army.
Human limitations were in front of us.
Klein, who exuded a different momentum than before and proudly entered the battle, was literally in the shape of an absolute.
Received a courtesy by raising his hand once, he naturally took the lead, accompanied by knights.
The destination was where the king was.
* * *
For the first day, the banquet hall was full of people.
Most of the reasons were to talk about the king and the people around him, but there were also those who did not leave the banquet hall for other purposes.
The sons of nobles gathered together and chatted.
“ha ha ha. It’s just lamentable that I haven’t seen such a beautiful princess yet.”
“Wouldn’t you like to go get some fresh air from Slay or the princess?”
“My family has a great view in the winter. I’d like to invite you if you don’t mind.”
Numerous courtships began to flock to her.
It was partly because the slay or princess in a dress was beautiful, but it was decisive that the dance she danced with Ray moved the hearts of the children of nobles.
And it wasn’t just limited to the children.
Slayna, who listened to them with a big smile, was still lost in the moment that had just seemed like a dream.
A body that moved so freely that it was unbelievable even thinking about it.
When I looked forward, I knew that my heart would stop for a second as a polite smile was directed at me.
‘Ah… if only I could dance with him once again…’
Maybe it’s because his eyes got high once again.
The children of nobles approaching him look even more unsightly than before.
As a matter of etiquette, she continued the conversation, but she gradually grew tired.
More than anything, I didn’t want to forget the feeling of dancing just by having a casual conversation with them.
“sorry. I’ll just leave for today.”
She left the venue with her head slightly bowed and her chest covered.
The children who were left behind cast their gazes until the end, as if they were sorry, but she did not look back.
It wasn’t long after Slayna and the princess left the banquet hall.
King Gleiman entered the lobby.
“His Majesty the King eats it!”
The king, who entered the banquet hall receiving the courtesy of the aristocrats, somehow did not look good.
After being greeted one by one, he sat on the throne and called for Philia.
“Is the corps commander’s report really true?”
Philia pondered for a moment, then lowered her head.
“It’s my mistake, Your Majesty.”
“no. It’s not your fault.”
It was an encouraging tone, but the voice was not bright at all.
Rather, it seemed that he was trying hard to suppress his anger.
“Call Count Hobert.”
“As for Count Hobert…”
Are you sure you intend to deal with the Marquis of Villede already?
King Gleiman, who did not deny Philia’s presumption, simply kept his mouth shut.
‘His Majesty is never someone who moves with emotions. Let’s not be suspicious.’
she replied briefly.
“All right.”
Shortly after giving orders to the knights, Earl Hobert was brought before the king.
He had a puzzled face, as if he didn’t know why.
“Your Majesty the King. I heard you called.”
“It’s been a while Count. This is the second time I’ve been alone with the sir.”
“yes. That’s right.”
“The first one must have come with Marquis Villede. I remember that it was about military reinforcement for the territory. Am I wrong?”
To the king’s sudden question, Earl Hobert nervously answered.
“That’s right.”
King Gleiman spoke solemnly to him.
“Strange. Even though your territory is a fief bordering another country, I already thought the number of soldiers as a Margrave was sufficient.”
“…”
“Somehow.”
King Gleiman, who paused for a moment, asked in a low voice.
“Aren’t you having other thoughts?”
“……!”
Eyes that can see through the heart.
The king looked down at him quietly.
Count Hobert gnashed his teeth inwardly.
‘…How did you know?’
The process of increasing military power was perfect.
He entered the faction of the Marquis of Villede and gradually increased his military power, led by her.
It was a natural right as a Marquis, so no one doubted it.
But there was a person who suspected it and investigated it?
Otherwise, King Gleiman could not have spoken with such certainty!
Who the hell are you!
Whose work is that?!
Contrary to the confusion in his head, Earl Hobert spoke calmly, pretending that nothing was wrong on the outside.
“Your Majesty, you are overestimating. It has been more than 20 years since I inherited the countship from my father and have been loyal to the royal family. How can you doubt me?”
When he spoke in a seemingly unfair voice, King Gleiman soon relaxed his expression.
“Jim was just kidding. I apologize if I went too far.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
For a moment, the atmosphere seemed to soften.
“ha ha ha. But…”
King Gleiman leaned over to the earl and whispered in his ear.
“Twice alone is enough. Please be careful not to have a third private meeting.”
In the dark shadows, King Gleiman’s eyes shone brightly.
He looked more like a black trader who grew up in the shadows rather than the king of a country.
Count Hobert, who had been thinking of the king as a scarecrow, felt as if the hairs on his body were standing on end.
He put his hands together to hide his trembling hands.
“I will do as you command.”
