Venting
While going down the stairs, Hyeon-Jun, who entered the room after being guided by a maid who approached quietly, raised his eyebrows.
I entered another room through the central lobby, but another lobby came out. And inside it, a group of mercenaries sat and waited for him in suffocating silence.
The reason they are silent is because there is a line of maids waiting for them in the lobby.
“June.”
When Gunther looked at Hyeonjun and said, everyone turned to Hyeonjun. Hyeonjun strode on with a nonchalant face, sat down on the seat of honor, and buried himself deeply in the chair. It seems that she doesn’t care whether the maids are watching or not.
“Why are you so dead?”
“…….”
The mercenaries opened their mouths as if they were going to talk at any moment, but the maids noticed them and eventually shut up.
Hyunjoon said with a smile.
“We set off for venting tomorrow.”
“what?”
Hyeon-jun said calmly, not paying attention to the maids.
“We discussed our values as they are. Listen carefully. What you have to protect now is not me, but Lahansen. I will survive on my own, but Lahansen cannot.”
“what… !”
“and.”
Hyunjoon stood up. Then he looked around at the bewildered faces of those who looked up at him and said with a grin.
“I came to such a nice mansion. How long are you going to be so frozen? Let’s wash up and enjoy dinner. I’m hungry after eating. After you’ve finished washing, gather in the lobby again.”
Then he looked at the doors on all sides of the lobby and turned to the maid.
“Where is my room?”
“This way.”
Hyeon-jun walked with the maid’s guidance and turned his head again just before entering the room.
A mischievous smile crept across his face as he looked at the mercenaries who were completely bewildered.
“dissolution!”
Then he went into the room, and the maid followed, closing the door.
The remaining mercenaries in the lobby were at a loss as they had no idea what to do in this absurd situation. Lahansen, with a pale face and clenched fists, caught his breath before standing up. He stumbled a little, but then calmed down and glanced at the maid. Then the maid came and ushered him into the room.
“Whoa… I don’t know. I have no choice but to fully trust and follow Jun on this matter.”
Gunther also jumped up and went into the room, and the mercenaries hesitated and then went back into the room without a second thought.
Hyeonjun entered the room and said to the maid with a nonchalant face.
“Help me take off the armor.”
“yes.”
The maid politely but quickly removed his armor and tidied it up.
“Where is the bathroom?”
“This way.”
And when the maid reached out to take off his clothes, Hyeon-jun blocked her hand.
“Okay. Wait outside.”
“yes.”
When the maid left, Hyeon-jun took off his clothes and went straight into the bathroom. Hyeon-joon washed himself leisurely in the bathroom of an aristocrat, which he had become accustomed to, put on clothes that fit his body and went out to the lobby. There was only La Hansen in the lobby.
“Everybody takes a long time.”
“Because it’s the first time I’ve seen it.”
Hyeon-jun sat cross-legged on the seat of honor, buried himself deeply and closed his eyes. Lahansen watched in silence. Hyeon-joon has been acting as if he has become a different person after going alone under the guidance of the man. Even to La Hansen, who is accustomed to being a nobleman, the present Hyeon-jun is indeed aristocratic. He is relaxed, arrogant, and has a sense of intimidation that subtly weighs down his surroundings. Rather, he is an aristocrat and has more dignity than condescending bastards.
“What happened to the story just now?”
Lahansen struggled to open his mouth. It was because it was difficult to talk to Hyeon-jun, who closed his eyes and organized his thoughts. It seemed to interrupt the superior’s thoughts.
“We’ll talk in detail when everyone gets together.”
Lahansen clenched his fists and pondered for a moment before speaking.
“It has many eyes and ears.”
“Isn’t it natural that you came to another family’s mansion?”
Hyeon-jun acted as if he had no maid at all. It was only natural to have attendants, and it seemed incomprehensible to keep them quiet. There was a big gap from Hyun-jun’s usual appearance, and La Hansen really didn’t know how to treat Hyun-jun.
Hyeon-jun, who was usually easy-going and playful, and Hyeon-jun, who went into battle and killed enemies coolly. It is a new look of Hyeon-jun, who is different from anything else, and is like a true nobleman.
From noble mtl dot com
He said that he would regard Hyeon-jun as a fallen aristocrat, but he didn’t feel like a noble at all. But look at him now. Wasn’t everything he showed up until now acting? Was their captain really a nobleman?
Seeing La Hansen like that, Hyeon-jun secretly smiled at the maids. Lahansen laughed at that laugh. It’s a playful laugh. I really don’t know now. But now that I have boarded his boat, I have no choice but to follow. Also, Hyeonjun is a great captain no matter what. aristocratic look? Rather good. Because I have to deal with the nobility.
After a while, the mercenaries came out and gathered in the lobby in twos and threes. Hyeonjun looked at their faces and closed his eyes.
“I can’t believe it.”
“under.”
La Hansen also snorted.
The mercenaries neatly brushed their hair and even shaved cleanly. It was a tanned and wrinkled face, but I couldn’t look straight at it. In particular, Hyun-jun did not hide his disdain for Gunther’s smooth face and the soft scent of the balm.
“Before was much better. Now… a little disgusting.”
“See you later…”
Unlike Hyeon-jun, who spits out his words without hesitation, Gunther stopped muttering lowly with his teeth clenched to keep an eye on the maids. Hyeonjun covered his nose and bit his body at the scent that hit him. The scent of flowers rushes from the boys as a group. Nausea kicks in.
“Take me to the dining room.”
“yes.”
At Hyeon-jun’s words, the maid guided them.
The beautiful decorations and scenery of the mansion felt very splendid to La Hansen as well as the mercenaries, so they glanced at them. However, Hyeon-jun did not pay any attention to such trivial things and walked leisurely.
La Hansen was the first to wake up after seeing that leisurely and confident step, and immediately after that, the mercenaries also woke up and walked confidently. Their actions will affect Hyun-jun’s values.
I was guided and entered a restaurant illuminated by magic lights.
Hyeon-jun was guided by the maid and sat in the most prestigious seat. Not at the head of the largest and most splendid table in the center of the dining room. it belongs to the marquis. The place the mercenaries were assigned to was a relatively simple table in the far corner. It was, of course, very splendid, with red cloth embroidered with gold thread, and silver utensils and candlesticks.
When the mercenaries were all seated, the door opened, and the maids lined up with the tray and placed the food. Hyunjoon smiled lightly. It is a course meal. It’s a trivial thing, but not knowing how to eat and etiquette is very humiliating and humiliating. Because it’s very basic.
As the mercenaries glanced at each other in embarrassment, Hyeon-jun picked up the tableware and began to eat with graceful movements. It was such a perfect move that even the old lady, who worked as a tutor for a noble family for 50 years, nodded in satisfaction the moment she saw it. Of course. It was because he perfectly copied the movements of Guihern, the chamberlain at the Benting family’s mansion.
The mercenaries saw Hyun-joon’s movements and, although awkward, started eating without making a mistake. Hyeon-jun now concentrated on the taste of the food and enjoyed it with his eyes closed. Lahansen put the food in his mouth to keep from laughing. Situban’s head of household was not so strict with etiquette. too aristocratic
Above all, to enjoy gourmet food, you have to eat and learn a lot. If you just want to eat delicious things, you can eat foods with lots of sugar or salt. However, in order to enjoy the taste of food, you have to get used to it, and that is not given to common people.
In fact, the mercenaries frown and push away Hyeon-joon eating while enjoying the unique scent and texture. The resistance to cooking for the first time is greater than expected. Most of the people who are new to truffle, a top-notch food ingredient, shake their heads in bewilderment at its unique scent.
After the meal, the mercenaries returned to the lobby and sat around the lobby. The maids were waiting in the lobby again, so the mercenaries couldn’t open their mouths. However, La Hansen also decided not to pay any attention to them, so he spoke to Hyeon-jun without hesitation.
“Now, why don’t you elaborate?”
“Previously.”
Hyeon-joon motioned for the maid to serve tea, then closed his eyes and thought.
Lahansen and the mercenaries didn’t say anything even after seeing it. Normally, they would have been clamoring to speak quickly and not to be rude, but those who have been with Hyeon-jun cannot recklessly say anything after seeing him now. Hyeonjun drew his sword now.
Soon after, the maids served tea and refreshments, and Hyeon-jun quietly opened his eyes. At that moment, the maid who was setting the teacup flinched and heard the faint sound of dishes clashing. The person under the name of Benting is an insolence that should not be seen. But I can’t help it. It is because the sharp momentum that makes those who know how to fight naturally want to pick up a weapon exploded. The maid who made the noise is a warrior.
“I saw Benting. He spoke openly about me, about our purpose, about La Hansen.”
Lahansen swallowed. The contents of those words that Hyeonjun uttered at once made my eyes dizzy.
“Of course, he talked about magic, mana knights, and swordsmanship. And he wanted to raise a family.”
“How did it go?”
“They offered Benting’s blood. I refused.”
“Mi, are you insane?”
“of course. I have never been out of my mind.”
Hyeon-jun calmly replied to what La Hansen said with a pale and trembling face.
Now Lahansen was so dizzy that he was about to vomit.
“To raise a family, you need foundation and merit. We head to Benting, formally hired, and go to the eastern mountains. Kill monsters, build merit.
It is different from the original plan of aiming for a knighthood and raising a family by making a contribution.
“that is … Do you think that will happen?”
At La Hansen’s words, Hyeonjun laughed cheerfully. There was no doubt in that confident smile.
“A person worthy of being mixed with Benting’s blood even set up the ball, so how could he miss it?”
Gunther, who had been silently listening to the story, took a deep breath and said,
“If you want to make the ball, you can’t be a decent guy.”
Hyeonjun met Gunther’s eyes.
“You can run around mountains and kill monsters, but not us.”
“No, it is possible.”
Hyeonjun made eye contact with each mercenary and spoke in a firm voice.
“I will make it. Trust me.”
Gunther grinned at him and took a cup of tea and gulped down. It was as if the bear was holding a teacup with its fingertips. Only then did Hyeon-jun lift the teacup and enjoy the scent. and added a little.
“I can’t tell you right now, but I’m thinking of other things in case things don’t work out.”
Everyone nodded at Hyunjoon’s words. Hyeonjun I believed that he would have his own thoughts, so I passed it like that.
Lahansen thought for a moment before opening his mouth.
“Tell me about protecting me.”
“I am under the protection of the temple. But it does not protect me without the temple’s eyes. But if I survive, I will have a powerful cause in my hands.”
This is a story everyone knows by now. Everyone nodded, and Hyunjoon said.
“Lahansen is an assassin who belonged to Situban. You are the most important witness. With La Hansen and the full plate armor we have, the justification for civil war is complete.”
Hyeonjun drank some tea again and started talking softly.
“But even if there is only one of you and me, a civil war can start. It is a cause for a civil war anyway. That’s why I was promised by Benting. will be.”
Lahansen just closed his eyes and buried himself in the chair. This is a story that is difficult for a 15-year-old mercenary boy to handle. Seeing this, Hyunjoon smiled and said.
“Anyway, you’re my colleague, don’t worry. Well, I’ll have to go out in public as a witness later.”
“I’m just…”
Lahansen struggled to open his mouth, then fell silent. Then he stumbled up from his chair and went into the room. Hyeon-jun let out a small sigh at the sight of the servant girl following her, unable to say a word to her and just waving her hand to stop it.
“Ummm…”
Maxim said while all the mercenaries were locked in thought and kept their mouths shut.
“Jun, why did knighthood become the next best option, unlike the original plan?”
“The moment you become Benting’s vassal, the cause falls into Benting’s hands. That’s what I was thinking. We need to increase the value as much as possible in this state now. When your value is at its peak, then you should become a vassal of Benting and receive the greatest you can.”
Hyeon-jun, who proudly threw a bomb in front of the Benting House maids, added with a grin.
“We are already breaking through the middle of enemy lines. If we stop here, we will die.”
