Chapter 131 – A Letter from the Family
[Sender: Meidern Family Head, Dittorio Harun, Count Meidern]
[Recipient: Noble Academy Exchange Professor, Nina Gratias Esselton]
The information on the sender and recipient written on the outside of the letter clearly proved that Nina’s words were not false.
“Did you ever let someone know that I was here?”
I looked at Nina and asked a question just in case.
“No. It never happens. By any chance, if the boy’s identity becomes known, there will be great confusion, and in the end, it will have a bad effect on me and the boy, so why bother buying something and going through hardships?”
In response to my question, Nina crossed her arms and blew air into her cheek as if asking what she was.
It was a childish reaction that was not appropriate for his age, but now it was more important to check the contents of the letter.
What is the content of the letter to Nina?
“Of course I trust Nina. Rather, did your family contact you often?”
“No, since she left the family, I hardly ever contacted her.”
According to further explanations that follow, she says that when she was staying with the family, she often talked to her.
However, as Nina won her title of nobility for her achievements, she almost lived at the Royal Academy, and as things happened in the Maidern family, she lost contact with Nina. Decreased.
“The most recent contact was about three months ago.”
“She was exchanging New Year’s greetings.”
“Yes. No matter how little contact you have, you should send New Year’s greetings because you were once a family that you depended on. That’s the reason to become a human.”
“After sending New Year’s greetings, did you usually get a call every few months?”
“Most of the letters came during the holidays or during the holidays.”
“And it is not a holiday, nor is it a national holiday.”
“Yes, boy.”
After Nina’s explanation, she looked at her letter again.
Why did a letter come from the family at this time?
Aside from that, he didn’t send it to me, did he send a letter to Nina?
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t find out the intention behind it.
“First of all, shall we open the letter?”
“Yes. I think that would be good. Then I will open the letter.”
Nina and I agreed, and with a knife she tore off the wax that was sealing her letter.
When the wax bearing the family seal was ripped off, the letter inside was revealed.
Nina put her envelope on her desk and took out her contents.
Like the envelopes, the letters in the envelopes were also very luxurious textured paper.
“Then let me read the contents of the letter.”
“Please. Nina.”
Nina began to read the letter slowly and clearly.
“To Baron Nina Gratias Esselton, this is a letter from Dittorio Harun, Countess of Meidern, head of the Maidern family.”
That stiff, insipid sentence… What my father wrote is correct.
The hardness felt from the letters was something that could never be imitated by anyone other than my father.
“Long time no see, Baron Esselton. It’s strange that you’ve been working for our family for the past three years.”
At first, it started with a simple hello.
Seeing that the atmosphere was evoked while referring to the past, it seems that the reason for writing the letter in earnest will come out in the next sentence.
“Considering what you have done for our family, it would be a human duty to contact you more often, but as you know, Alberto’s wife has been heartbroken since his disappearance.”
Anyone who knows anything about his father will know that that sentence is blunt, but it oozes love for his family.
By the way, as Nina read the passage about her mother’s heartache, a sharp pain surged around her heart.
“But thanks to the good news I received a while ago, I feel better now.”
When Nina read the part about being energized thanks to the good news, Nina and I met eyes.
The two of us noticed instinctively.
‘My father.’
‘Patriarch.’
‘Okay!’
Nina started reading the contents of her letter again.
“And, it wasn’t enough to be appointed as a professor at the Royal Academy, so now you’re a professor at the Noble Academy? There’s a big banquet in the El Pario Empire, so I’m going to stop by with her family, so let’s see her face at that time.”
In her letter, her father said that he would attend a big banquet held in the El Pario Empire.
So, I was going to stop by the Noble Academy to see her face.
“Anyway… ….”
“I think you both have the same idea.”
Nina and I were thinking the same thing.
It was only a superficial reason to come to the Elpario Empire because there was a banquet.
The real reason is to visit Noble Academy.
And the reason I want to visit the Noble Academy is because of me.
“The information control must have been thorough, but where did the information leak out?”
“I will.”
Nina and I put our heads together and pondered where we went wrong.
“Perhaps it leaked out when you were a mercenary.”
“Um.”
The first thing Nina had doubts about was when I was a mercenary.
However, it was hard to see that the me from before and the me from then were the same person.
Because of their slender eyes, when they smiled, there was a bit of a resemblance.
However, when he was not smiling, his pupils were visible to some extent, and above all, his impression changed very sharply.
And when I was a mercenary, I never smiled.
Why did my second name, the White Reaper, stick?
It was attached because he cut down the monster without smiling at all.
If I had cut down the monster with a smile, it would have been nicknamed the ‘smiling god of death’.
I made a lot of changes in order to make it less like ‘Alberto = Adalbert’ as much as possible.
The color of her hair changed from gold to white, and her hair became too long to be said to have been grown for two years.
“I made enough changes to never go unnoticed.”
“That… It was. When I first saw him, I didn’t know he was a young boy. “
Even Nina, who has been by my side and assisting me for over 10 years, said she didn’t know it was me when she first saw me.
In other words, the person who was with me didn’t even know it was me. Who was the person who found out about this?
“You never know. A legendary dragon or something comparable to it might recognize it.”
By the way, what kind of relationship does such a legendary being have to his father?
From noble mtl dot com.
–
Same time.
At the imperial palace of the Bregern Empire, Antonio was meeting and talking with Tarun, his and Dittorio’s teacher.
“Did you say Alberto? That child’s name.”
“Yes, Master.”
Tarun, the teacher of Count Meidern and Emperor Bregern, was mentioning Alberto by name.
There was a reason he mentioned Albert’s name.
“You know. Neither you nor Dittorio accepted all my teachings.”
“However, I was able to become a Sword Expert after only understanding one teaching.”
“Yes.”
As Antonio said, he was a swordsman who reached the level of a sword expert.
He understood only one of Tarun’s teachings, but that alone made him a sword expert.
“Dittorio was the most outstanding student I have ever taught. He is the one who understood three of my teachings.”
If Antonio, who understood one teaching from Tarun, became a sword expert swordsman, Dittorio, who understood three teachings, became a sword master.
“And, the boy named Alberto was taught by Dittorio, and he rose to the level of a sword master at a young age.”
“Then, do you think of Alberto as your successor?”
Antonio realized what Tarun was trying to say.
“Yes. I intend to pass on all my teachings to him, Alberto. Only then will we be able to save this world from a great threat to come in the future.”
Tarun intended to make Alberto his successor.
It was said that he would pass on all his teachings and raise him into a being who would save the world from the coming threat.
“I see.”
“Now Dittorio is heading to the El Pario Empire. As soon as the family reunion is over, I will have to go there and meet the child.”
“Teacher, do as you please. In this world, who can stop Master from going?”
“Fuhehehe, that’s right.”
Without listening to the opinions of those involved, Alberto became Tarun’s successor.
“I just hope that the child will grow up well and save the world from the upcoming threat.”
“I hope so.”
What is the looming threat Tarun speaks of?
And what role does he expect from Adalbert, no Alberto?
So far, many things have been shrouded in veil.
