2nd Rank Has Returned chapter 112

Banquet Hall-2

The people who came to the party did not come here simply to enjoy the banquet.

Of course, all the families who came here from all over the world had their own preparations in order to catch the eyes of the Reinhardt family.

It could be a martial art as a knight, or a new achievement of the family, but there was another most effective means common to most distant families.

wedding and engagement.

A relationship between you or your children, who has become a hero, and Ariaspil.

It was the most effective means if the villagers were distant or just subordinate families.

It didn’t have to be a wedding or an engagement. It was a success if he left at least a minimal impression on Arya and Gaju Gladio.

Having a relationship with the hero Arya was definitely an advantage, even if it wasn’t for his subordinates.

There were countless people who wanted to pull out the holy sword that Ruben Reinhardt, the first hero, left after his death.

Most of them were from Reinhardt, but outside paladins and knights from famous people also tried to draw a holy sword as if they were a kind of ritual.

Of course, as a result, all of them failed.

But now it’s different.

Ariaspil is a new modern warrior who voluntarily summons the holy sword without drawing his sword.

Therefore, if she became her companion, it was as if she had acquired Reinhardt’s huge pillar.

so that.

“Ariaspil!! I really appreciate you becoming a hero!!”

“Ariaspil!! I belong to the Knights of the Northern Territory⸺”

“You look so beautiful today! Warrior!! If you have time right now⸺”

Each of them was doing their best to show off their presence and charm. Whether it was a relative of a distant villager, working under his command, or a subordinate family, he was busy naming himself without missing a beat.

“Oh, you are. I will remember.”

[It’s cliché, it’s not mechanical.]

In fact, even before the return, Ariaspil had a similar attitude. Unless it was really important or a greeting, it was common to just respond with a clichéd attitude.

If there is a difference, is it that the displeasure of the smile is revealed now?

In fact, even from Leo’s own point of view, the blatant thing was too obvious.

Perhaps it was a natural result that he looked unnatural because he didn’t plan properly and just wanted to talk to him.

Above all, if this social church was a powerful person or a person with status or ability, he might not have rushed in when he said, ‘The warrior Ariaspil is entering.’

[But where did Gaju Yangban go?]

At the words of the sage, Leonardo turned his head and looked at the sage.

＜You are over there.＞

[You… didn’t you really have a telescope implanted in your eye?]

Of course, I was talking with executives from other branches on the other side over a few tables.

＜So, if you try, you will see it.＞

By injecting a weak auror into the visual muscles and nerves and controlling it delicately, it was easier to see farther away.

“…uh…”

Something caught the hawk-like eye of the sky.

it was people It was also a young girl or woman.

There were people at the party, and many of them were natural. However, the direction in which that person and women were running was focused on Leo himself.

‘…before the regression…’

This would seldom happen.

“Leonardo Knight!! But…it’s really an honor to meet you!! I am… Rona Reinhardt!”

It was an honor to be honored on the part of Leo. Could there be anything more glorious to see Rhona Reinhardt, who had tried to kill herself relentlessly, bowing her head like this?

“My name is Lucina Reinhardt. Leonardo Knight’s reputation is well known. Can you tell me about your adventures later?”

Lucina Reinhardt, this person was also memorable. Before the return, I had creatively made derogatory and ignorant remarks.

Other women also began to gather at Leo one after another.

In fact, after returning, there was one thing that Leo overlooked.

At this party, the warrior Ariaspil was not the only one that his family and collaborators were targeting.

Rather, Leonardo was, in some cases, a more accessible and lucrative goal.

Ariaspil, a warrior, had too many hurdles to approach from the point of view of the title of a warrior and the only daughter of Reinhardt’s head, Gladio.

Even if he barely talked to me, I wondered if he would remember the other person rather than properly accompany him.

But what about Leonardo?

He worked as a servant in the family at a young age and grew up to be a self-made man.

He also had excellent martial arts skills as a knight, had high-density combat experience, and had a wealth of magical and academic insight.

He is an all-round talent who is also rich in achievements, but his status is on the low side.

So I thought it would be easy to approach and embrace. Because there was no other person who could be welcomed as a son-in-law as much as a low-ranking person.

I misunderstood it like that.

“Oh, you are. thank you.”

[You’re not strong either. It’s just the smile a restaurant clerk would make.]

The first misunderstanding was a judgment far beyond the premise that Leo would be passed on to a collateral or other blood relative.

＜Then what more do you do with those who killed each other and almost died?＞

Before returning, Leonardo had been ordered to be wanted for the annihilation of all members of the Senate.

Therefore, it was natural for them to be pursued by both the knights of the collateral and the royal knights of the empire. It was not once or twice that he was caught in a trap several times and almost suffered fatal injuries.

[…if that’s true, it’s a little creepy, isn’t it? Is this okay?]

The sage asked Leo with a genuinely cold expression. This may be the level at which you should be genuinely worried about mental illness.

＜I also tried to kill you.＞

At that time, that was the norm.

A world where all good deeds are hypocrisy, where it is natural to die and to kill, to be deceived and deceived.

The decades before the return were definitely not the way it should have been, and it was inevitable.

[…and that’s why. Are you really human?]

In response to such a blunt answer, the sage asked with genuine concern.

The wise man thought deeply in his heart that no matter how many times his mind was broken due to trauma and stress disorder, he would never find a human who would be in the same state as Leo.

Then Leo said with a sly smile.

＜I don’t know how many times I wished I wasn’t an ordinary person.＞

but it’s ok Because now it doesn’t matter at all.

＜Everyone over here has been killed.＞

“Ahahahaha, that’s right. It is an honor for you to remember this.”

Leo greeted the approaching people in turn and said so to the wise man.

[…a scary guy…]

The sage said so embarrassed. Leo is probably the only one who can talk so calmly with the humans he’s killed once.

But for that reason, Leo never had to become the son-in-law of a collegiate or subordinate family.

He didn’t have a grudge against everyone, but at least for the women who approached him, Leo was hiding his contempt from the rough scars he had left in his heart.

The reason for keeping them alive was simply because there was no justification to kill them, and the harm outweighed the gains.

If only one of the two holds true, this event will be over and I will kill you by sniping the forehead from a very long distance.

“…so…evil…!”

And the second thing they misunderstood was none other than,

“I’m sorry. I want to relax and enjoy this party with my partner. If it’s not rude, could you please excuse me?”

It was the heart that Ariaspil had for Leo.

The biggest mistake was to think that the families and collaborators who did not properly observe the relationship between Leo and Arya simply did not get engaged or were not married and had no great feelings.

[Did you say ‘Would you please turn it off’ now…? Maybe I heard it wrong?]

＜It won’t. It must not be…＞

As can be seen from the symptoms of Ariaspil’s obsession, the relationship between the two has long since departed from the master-slave relationship of knight and master.

“right? Leo?”

“yes? Yes Yes! Yes!”

Leonardo was taken aback by the mixture of “move away” and “get off” earlier, so he quickly answered.

Not only Leo, but the others were completely frozen as if Arya had said the same thing with a soft smile as if there was a cognitive dissonance.

“Then let’s go. You haven’t even cooked yet.”

Arya grabbed Leo’s hand and ran forward. Of course, it was an added bonus to fix it with chest pressure like Taesan because I was afraid it would be thrown away.

“there…!”

At that moment, a couple walked this way. A girl in a stylish and cute one-piece dress followed in front of him.

“Ain!”

Arya ran to Ain and hugged Ain tightly. Arya’s chest was pressing Ain’s face, but luckily, Ain was able to hold her breath for a long time, so there was no big problem.

“Your dress is beautiful. Arya unnie, your father’s suit also gives you the appropriate charm.”

“My daughter has a rich sense of aesthetics!! Our Ain is cute too!!”

Ain was taken to Silica and put on a sky blue one-piece dress. In the past, it was because Silica always felt regret for not being able to properly decorate young Arya as a woman.

“…Ah…Lady…”

But Leo’s regret was in the present.

No, it was more of regret than regret.

“…my daughter? Then really…”

The couple who brought Ain were looking at Arya with shocking eyes. The two just thought that Ain was making jokes and jokes at a young age, and never thought that she was really a hero’s daughter.

“Is that your daughter…? No, when will you adopt…”

There was suddenly silence at the party. A foreboding that this is going to be a big commotion in the party itself came like a storm. Let’s make it a little easier to understand…

“It’s me and Leo’s daughter!! Cute!?”

ruined.

“Yes…? Then… are you married…”

“Oh, that’s not it. I have a situation.”

Please explain the situation first…!

“…Then… the engagement…?”

As the questions continued, Arya was slightly dissatisfied and puffed her cheeks mercilessly.

“no. I don’t think Daddy has the courage yet.”

The atmosphere is getting colder towards me. The bands were also in shock, so they stopped playing.

What? Why are you looking at people with such garbage eyes? I’m also a victim…!

“…there is a relationship… no more than that…! Excuse me… you’re the real daughter right?!”

“Yes, I am a mother.”

Arya briefly covered her mouth with her hand and explained briefly. Obviously the corners of his mouth were raised.

“Leonardo is my father.”

But it was too concise.
