prepare for civil war
When Hyun-jun entered the training ground and stopped, the knights immediately scrambled to draw their swords.
“… It is enough to see one person.”
“…….”
After a while, one person stepped out. Hyeonjun nodded and began to show Turaion’s swordsmanship. Hyunjoon looked at it with concentration. The sword in his hand swayed slightly. One look, and it’s already his.
Lahansen was also focused like never before. Now he too has come into the shadow of Thurrayon, and now the swordsmanship he will learn will be based on that.
‘It is a swordsmanship that requires careful reading of the opponent’s movements.’
Hyeonjun thought as he moved his sword. Tureion’s swordsmanship is not like Benting’s swordsmanship. Like a puzzle, it is a swordsmanship that aims to perfectly counter with an attack that matches the movement of the opponent.
‘Even so, the offense is not taken lightly.’
If it catches the first shot, it runs like fire and kills it, and if it misses the first shot, it counters the opponent’s movement. Easy to say. Because it’s natural. As always, mouth is better at boxing than Mayweather and better at soccer than Messi.
‘It’s a swordsmanship that relies heavily on an individual’s talent.’
Tureion’s swordsmanship relies too much on individual senses and talents. If you don’t have it, you don’t even know what to do when you’re on the defensive, so you’ll have to break your head or fall to the floor and struggle.
If it was like before, I would have thought it was just good swordsmanship and passed on. But now I know very well how normal humans think and move. Even if they never understand Hyeon-Jun, Hyeon-Jun has come to understand them. It’s a sad one-way street.
“Ordinary people cannot do things like Jun-nim.”
“Stop nagging me. I know now.”
Hyeonjun grumbled at Lahansen’s stinging words. As he said that, he slightly removed several parts from his newly created swordsmanship. I almost trembled with my sword skills again.
‘Since it’s the family I belong to, I can use it a bit more.’
Hyeonjun thought of transforming the things he had given to Wilhelmina into longsword swordsmanship and giving them to Turaion.
Teach some of the basic movements, and separately teach those that show strength in specific situations. This is a little tough unless you have Wilhelmina’s level of talent. Hyeonjun even gave up three-dimensional movements. Because now I really realize that it is almost impossible.
Even Wilhelmina, who had a talent that had reached her limit as a human being, couldn’t follow that gag in the end. It was because his body couldn’t hold on, and there was no human except for him who could do crazy things like spinning his sword more than 10 times while spinning around in the air more than 5 times in one jump.
It was almost impossible to use mana, and even if he succeeded, he could not control his body properly. It would be possible if he practiced to death, but in that case, it would be better to just solidly train other swordsmanship.
“…….”
The knights were amazed when they saw Hyeon-jun move his wrist and flick his sword. He moved lightly with only his wrist, but he couldn’t help but notice that he had already swallowed Tureion’s swordsmanship. It’s because they’ve been honed and polished for decades.
Hyeonjun swung his sword around and took his stance. A soft smile crept across his face. I already made a new swordsmanship.
“Let’s start.”
***
Two days later, an attendant came to Turrayon and told him that Wilhelmina would come to Venting in three days. As soon as she arrives, a meeting will be held where all of Benting’s retainers will gather. Benting is already preparing to welcome their golden princess. The city is already in a festive mood.
“Devan, how did it go?”
“The situation isn’t bad. Some families are sitting back and watching, but most of the other families aren’t reacting badly.”
Devan was actively participating in the social gatherings held in Benting, putting all his energy into making personal connections and gaining influence. Rivetrand also attended some important events, but only showed a heavy presence. Apparently, Devan was much better than her when it came to politics, so he had no choice but to suffer. However, Devan did not lose his smile in front of Turaion, despite the arduous schedule. As much as he suffers, it is because the family can hold a mighty power.
“There is a family that has promised to empower you. It is a debt now, but after receiving the barony, that will also be influential.”
In politics and trade, you shouldn’t think of debt as something you just have to pay. It is a strong link that binds the two opposing lines together. If you received 100, return 200. We need to continue to create connections by giving and receiving debt and debt, and create a foundation for joining forces by tying each other tightly.
Dvan has already received confirmation from 5 families. Too fast to the point of not being aristocratic. Naturally, those families belonged to the commanders of the Outer Wall, and were also the families of Gallion.
There was no one who did not know that Turaion was a family worth investing in through Hyeon-jun. However, while others were sneakily watching the liver and moving ‘aristocratically’, the families of the commanders of the outer wall and the families of Gallion confidently made a big bet.
This is because Hyun-Jun, who I saw up close, is indeed a real country, and even without Turaion, I can shout ‘Gazua!’ with Hyun-Jun’s name alone.
The families that sent commanders to the front lines of the Eastern Mountains already had a lot of information, and there was no reason not to ride a coin that was certain to be eaten. Even the families who did not give a definite answer made a path to quietly cross their feet.
‘… … Why are you looking at me like that?’
Devan looked at Hyeonjun as if licking it. The eyes are sticky. Hyunjoon shuddered. Dvan, a siscon, was determined to marry Hyeon-joon to Prinion. Indeed, it was a resolution that swallowed bloody tears.
For him, I gathered information from the mercenaries, especially La Hansen, and found out that Hyun-joon likes children too much, tries to protect them, and has a very good personality.
I made up my mind on this, but at the same time, I had no choice but to give up when I heard that he was morbidly refusing to marry.
Isn’t it normal to want to get married if you like children? I don’t know what’s wrong.
“Devan, I’m sorry.”
“No, mother.”
At Rivetran’s words, Devan smiled softly and held her hand. Then she carefully kissed the forehead of Pirrinion, who was sitting on her lap, and got up. I have to go to another meeting in a little while. No matter how much a family supports you, you need to show your face in as many places as possible in order to secure an immediate influence. Rivetran has to go out again after a while. My heart breaks when I think of Prinion, who will be left alone in the meantime, but I have to gather my strength right now for her sake.
Devan glanced at Hyeonjun. While they are gone, Prinion will be looked after by the maid and Hyeon-jun. I can trust Hyeon-jun, who is impatient with not being able to give his child liver and gallbladder. In that short period of time, Hyun-joon has already won Prinion’s heart.
This is because Prinion fell in love with magic by putting on a splendid show and bringing up stories that had never been heard anywhere. Also, she made fun of the hand that wielded the sword like a ghost, and even decorated Prinion’s handkerchief colorfully and cutely by embroidering it so pretty that the maid gnawed her teeth in shame about her skills. In addition, he secretly handed over sweet snacks from where he got them, capturing the heart of Prinion very tightly.
‘I’d rather work for the sake of marriage, but I’d be relieved… .’
It’s good that Prinion is happy, but why would he go so far when he’s not going to get married? He’s a man you can’t really understand. Dvan held Prinion’s hand, knelt down, and met his eyes before speaking.
“I’ll be back soon.”
“Yes. Be careful.”
Prinion smiled and kissed his cheek. Devan smiled softly, kissed her nicely on the back of her hand, then got up and left the room.
‘Siscon child… .’
Hyunjoon clicked his tongue. Anyway, it’s disgusting that he cares for his sister so much.
“Please continue the story from last time.”
“Sure.”
Hyeonjun smiled brightly at Prinion’s words. And while drawing on the parchment, the bard and the clown began to talk realistically enough to tremble with their fists clenched in jealousy. Look at the power of fairy tales that contain the dreams and hopes of modern girls!
Hyeonjun even sang a song with a clear but resonant voice and even danced with a prinion on his feet. Red hair fluttered, and a clear laughing voice filled the room. Prinion’s face flushed red with pleasure, and Hyeon-jun’s face also smiled.
In order to follow Hyeon-jun, who is in contact with all kinds of media in modern times, even a legendary bard would have to come and try it. Hyeon-jun had no shame in dealing with the child. Even if there were more than 20 hairy old men in the lobby, this madman was able to imitate a fairy by creating a cute voice with a falsetto that gave strength to Prinion.
But surprisingly, the men also listened to Hyeon-jun’s story. Anyway, each story is a precious world, and new stories are always welcome. Men in their 30s and 40s listening to fairy tales about princesses and fairies reminds me of the men who hoard the game console for hours after hoarding money in front of a game console for girls.
“Prinion.”
“mother.”
As Rivetran smiled softly, hugged her from behind and kissed her on the head, Prinion turned around with a flushed face.
“I’ll be gone for a while.”
“Yes! We must come quickly!”
“okay.”
Rivetran safely left the room at Prinion’s bright answer. If there is a professional babysitting Hyunjun, there will be no problem.
When Rivetran left, Hyeon-jun took out the candy he had asked for from Benting’s maids out of his pocket.
“Shh.”
“Shh!”
From noble mtl dot com
And when I put my finger to my lips, Prinion laughed and followed it. I didn’t care whether the men around me were watching or not. Because that’s a game too.
Hyeon-jun gave it to Prinion, who immediately took it and put it in his mouth and laughed. Even Rivetran and Devan already know about it, but a child’s heart beats even at such a small secret.
It’s already to the point that no one in Benting knows that Hyun-joon is so impatient with Prinion.
Rumors spread through the maids. Now, when he approaches the maids, they will first sneak a sweet treat. In addition, the song Hyun-joon sang loudly for Prinion and the fairy tale he told were heard by the maid waiting outside the room, and there were some who deliberately sat in front of him to appreciate his brilliant singing skills and beautiful story.
‘It’s very diverse.’
Seeing that, La Hansen sighed and shook his head. If you don’t get married, you have a very young lady’s heart. Anyone who sees them will think they are plotting to devour Turaion. It’s even more fantastic that it’s not acting.
Everyone watched with a soft smile as Hyeon-jun danced with a prinion on his feet humming the sweet music he had heard somewhere. Prinion was smiling brightly with a face flushed with excitement. To her, Hyeon-jun is really like the fairy in his story. Because most of what she wants comes true.
There is only one thing Hyun-joon couldn’t do to her request. This is a request to return to Turaion’s mansion in Taxis. Hyeonjun smiled sadly and quietly stroked her hair, and Prinion knew that it was a kind refusal and was finally able to give up that small wish. Sometimes kindness is the law that cruelly makes people give up.
smart.
Then someone carefully knocked on the door. When the maid quietly opened the door so as not to disturb Hyeon-jun and Prinion, the maid showed a full plate armor for Hyeon-jun through the gap in the door. No one wanted to disturb the warm time between the young lady and the warrior who would stand tall with the strongest sword in the Southern Kingdom.
When the maid opened the door, the maid came in quietly and put down the armor. Then, suddenly, in the center of the lobby, bathed in the sunlight pouring in through the large windows, I blankly watched the two of them dancing to the song Hyun-joon was humming. It is a scene that will make your heart melt. The child’s bright face and clear laughter harmonized with Hyeon-jun’s humming, bringing a smile to the viewer’s face.
Outside the door, the maids peeked their heads in and looked at it. It’s something that shouldn’t be done given the decency of Benting, but no one blamed it. Even though winter was just around the corner, a warm breeze filled the room.
***
“Wow! Full plate armor!”
“How is it?”
“… … I’m dying of discomfort, really.”
In the room, with the help of La Hansen, Hyeonjun, wearing full plate armor, frowned.
First of all, the helmet covers too much of the field of vision. When Hyun-jun, who has a wide field of vision, uses it, it feels like his eyes have been covered.
“I’ll have to take the visor off.”
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I won’t get hit in the face.”
It would be impossible to hit Hyeon-jun in the face even if three mana knights rushed at it at the same time. His wide, clear vision can protect his face from the rain of arrows. The visor only covers the view and is of little use.
“How is the movement?”
“It’s frustrating. How do you move while wearing something like this?”
Then he jumped up and somersaulted and spun his body. And landed lightly. The sound of the clashing armor resonated loudly, but it was an incredibly soft landing. Lahansen was so tempered that he could just nod his head now, even after hearing that nonsense, so he went over it lightly.
“What about swordsmanship?”
“It would be better to move based on the armored swordsmanship you made for Turaion.”
I couldn’t move as flexibly as before. Still, it should be enough to kill enemies. It’s been a long time since I’ve already transcended the stage of swordsmanship.
“Can you use armor magic?”
“Um… let’s go to the lobby first.”
The room is so small that it seems impossible. As soon as I went out to the lobby, all eyes were on me. Wearing armor without a visor, but with the pattern of Turaion, and even wearing a bembrace that emits a subtle light from the temple of Karios, Hyun-jun showed the charisma of a confident knight.
Prinion, who was sitting on a chair and chatting with the lady-in-waiting, was about to open her mouth when she saw Hyeon-jun. Hyeonjun smiled at her and stanceed. Others have already retreated a long way.
‘If you do this… .’
As soon as he held the set position and moved slightly, the mana was boiling like crazy, and the armor showed complex movements as if it were exploding to perform the set action. Hyeon-jun arrived at the end of the lobby in just three steps with tremendous speed and power, gently spurred the wall, spun in the air, and landed lightly. It was an unbelievable move that he saw while wearing full plate armor.
Just one problem… . No, there was a variable, but the arm is the armor of the temple, so Hyun-joon has to move according to the situation. It would be a problem for others, but it is rather good for Hyeonjun. You will be able to do crazy things that your opponent couldn’t even imagine.
“Oh, that’s not bad.”
Hyunjoon mumbled. Everyone couldn’t hide their stunned faces. There is a degree, how far do you want to transcend human beings?
“Finally, you’re wearing full plate armor.”
Hyeonjun smiled and looked back at what Gunther said like a sigh. Although Gunter is a commoner, he is one of the few people who can speak comfortably to him thanks to his delicate position as co-captain of the June & Gunther mercenary corps with Hyun-joon. Hyun-joon doesn’t have any official status yet. It was before the official procedure, so the master only put a name on it.
“But it’s more uncomfortable than I thought.”
“I was covered in that lump of iron, of course. There’s no problem though, right?”
“Of course. Move over.”
Hyeonjun took his stance at the end of the lobby again. Then, after moving explosively again, he turned around and ran to the side. This time, I skillfully stopped right in front of the wall.
“no!”
“what!”
The knights were startled and shouted. Turning around while activating the magic of full plate armor!
“You just need to convert the movement of the armor into power.”
“…….”
In the midst of a chilling silence, only Gunther and La Hansen looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. Not a day or two.
