280 – End of the Year
Around the time when Baron John Nassen was visiting the grand duke’s family following the imperial palace.
“… A New Year’s celebration?”
“Did you not know?”
“I know. These days, the system is noisy because of that, but there’s no way you wouldn’t know.”
“But why is the reaction like that? Now you, Ian, are not commoners.”
I was officially given the title of knight, ‘Kyung’ by the emperor.
It’s just that he hasn’t been formally titled yet, and he’s an absolute nobility.
And if you are a noble with a certain status, you can go to the New Year’s Celebration.
Of course, compared to the aristocrats who will come to the New Year’s ceremony, it’s too ugly.
Ian is acknowledged not only by his own emperor but also by other top 10 empires.
If a little more time passes, he will surely receive a fairly high title.
“… I guess I’d better not go.”
But Ian surprised Kyle with his sudden reply.
“I heard that many great nobles come to that place.”
“Uh… Of course it is, right?”
The Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Government Administration are supervised, and that means that the imperial family is looking behind them.
In addition, the three grand ducal families always visit, followed by the nobles of the central political world.
If you’re a bigwig in the political world of the Empire, you have to say that he will come unconditionally.
“What is it? Are you saying that the nobles won’t go because they feel burdened?”
“To be honest, it’s kind of like that.”
At Ian’s answer, Kyle reacted with amazement.
No, since when did you notice the nobles so much?
In the early days of the academy, how many times had he beaten noble students?
After that, Kyle’s hand made him look like a student.
Nevertheless, I couldn’t help but be proud as the protagonist and as a prosecutor.
If you feel that you are being ignored even a little bit, your eyes will start to change.
This is a kind of check and a ploy to make a flaw among the nobles.
If you go over that, you know that it’s your loss, so most of the others go over in moderation.
But Ian immediately chased after hearing it without any such thing.
And he said, ‘Looking at your swordsmanship, I can understand the level of your parents.’
There was also a pad lip that would be astonished even if the priests of the church as well as the nobles heard it.
‘Why did a human who didn’t care about the aristocrats come now?’
Kyle makes an expression that he doesn’t understand at all.
At that, Ian scratched the back of his head and secretly parted his lips.
“Well, this time, Nell has been active as a nobleman again.”
“Isn’t it?”
Nell’s family was completely shattered due to an incident in the past.
Fortunately, with a lot of help, I am now able to stand up again.
There are many reasons, but the biggest reason is that the value of Nell’s name has risen.
“What does that have to do with the New Year’s celebration?”
“I thought that if I went and made a mistake, not only Nell, but also the people in that family would feel very burdened with me.”
“… So, it’s a family that’s just starting to recover, and it’s going to be tiring when someone who treats another huge noble family badly as a son-in-law, so it’s better not to lose points, is this?”
Ian nods and replies that Kyle is right.
Thanks to that, Kyle had to let out a sigh of “Huh.”
‘What is this bastard talking about?’
Leaving aside the fact that just a while ago, nobles knew that they would catch dogs.
I can do that now. Rather, he would keep his mouth shut.
A noble who is good at information would have already figured out Ian.
A classmate who seems to be very close with Kyle John Nassen.
A skill recognized by all of the top 10 of the Empire, truly worthy of being called a sword genius.
And decisively, from the war against the nomadic tribes in the east to the active.
“That used to be a problem. But will you be all right now?”
It’s not like Ian is forcing a fight or ignoring others.
A person who responds only when a provocation comes in first.
However, it’s just that the countermeasures are a bit excessive, which is a problem.
“Rather, if you think of Nell, she would benefit from going to the New Year’s ceremony.”
“Profit?”
“Yes. Ian, just like you said, Nell’s family is just starting to recover. So what do you think you need? Time? Money? There may be that, but first of all, it is to regain the lost pride of a nobleman.”
And the pride of those aristocrats comes from none other than ‘network’.
Kyle continued to give Ian advice in a very serious tone.
“The person who makes that connection must be the son-in-law that Nell’s parents really want.”
“… It makes sense.”
“Anyway, if it’s your skill, it will already remain very deep in Nell’s heart. Now is the time to exert influence not only on Nell, but also on her surroundings. So i have to go Go, I’m interested in this young lady. So nobles, you too, do well with the family here! You have to look like this!”
It contains the frustration and pathetic feeling of the main character that I felt in the original work in the past.
She was Kyle pouring out her advice to this swordsman-only fool who was still at a loss.
“Ummm….”
Still, Ian is worried. I feel like I ate a hundred sweet potatoes there.
So Kyle bit her lip and decided to use her trump card.
“Three grand dukes also come to the New Year’s ceremony. There must be Littorio there.”
“I guess so.”
That’s right, what is that? This climber
Because you’re so careless, the main character, sweet potato, and the main character, eunuch, hear these words.
“If the Grand Duchess of Littorio comes, who will come?”
“… Princess Elgar?”
“Fuck.”
In the end, Kyle couldn’t stand it and slapped Ian on the back of the head.
Thank you billion! After her screams, Ian looks at Kyle, fiddling with her hair.
As if she was asking why she suddenly resorted to violence.
“You man. When Grand Duchess Littorio comes, you know that Elga-sama is coming, but don’t you think that Elgar’s secretary will come with you? Who is that secretary? Uh?”
“… Ah.”
It was only then that Ian realized what Kyle was trying to say.
“Leto… They are coming too.”
“Yes, I will. Are you going to go and see Nell and Leto as they are?”
“No. No.”
“Then let’s get ready for the New Year’s ceremony right away.”
Looking at Ian, who nodded in agreement, Kyle cupped her face.
Really, I feel it every time I see it, but I really want to connect Nell and that human.
If Nell later falls sick with a vase, maybe some of it is because of him.
“… By the way, what should I prepare?”
“Are you going to do that?”
“How about this outfit?”
Fuck you. Was this the main character?

“Welcome, Baron John Nassen. Welcome to the denomination.”
While Kyle was being tormented by my friend.
Baron John Nassen visited the church this time following the Grand Duke’s family.
‘Hmm.’
Looking at the pope in front of him, the baron sighed inwardly.
He is an old man who is still enduring as if he had taken care of himself when he was young.
But by his standards, it’s not good. After a while, there will definitely be a place where it collapses.
But I can’t polish it like Archduke Littorio. Then it’s a big deal.
“Heh heh heh. You can see what the guests are thinking.”
“No big deal.”
“This old man is fine, so I ask the other brothers and sisters in the Order for some wisdom from the Baron.”
After that, the pope directly showed the gym that was expanded by the church.
Baron John Nassen, who checked the place, gave a small smile and said, ‘Ooh.’
The reason why I vaguely feel like John Nassen even though I’m not obviously John Nassen.
He probably accepted everything Kyle told him to do and tried his best.
Do not talk about what you are told to do, do not use tricks and follow them.
There is no member who is more excellent and wants to be praised.
“I saw the priests of the church who had already followed the youngest one last summer, and not too long ago.”
“How was it?”
“….”
Baron John Nassen, who looked at the pope for a moment, realized that this was a church.
Remembering Kyle’s advice that it’s good to say something appropriate for that place.
“The strong must be strong against the strong and weak against the weak.”
“Hmm?”
“In that sense, those priests were people who would one day be called strong.”
A really great compliment. Thanks to this, Lear and Leah, who were following behind, were surprised.
Thanks to this, the two siblings also had this thought in their heads.
‘I think the saintess can get some more points from her father.’
‘Holy Lady! It’s good news for my sister-in-law!!’
*
The schedule at the church has also been completed, and now only the New Year’s celebration to be held tomorrow remains.
By the way, Baron John Nassen did not go to the lodgings the Emperor himself gave him.
I moved somewhere instead, but it was none other than the Imperial Academy.
“This is the academy.”
“Yes, Father.”
“Leah, it’s also the place you destroyed in half.”
“Ahahahaha… Yes. Shame on you.”
Hmmming again at Leah’s answer, the baron looked around.
“Lea, it seems you weren’t very angry.”
Tsuttuk, the baron clicked his tongue and continued.
“If you were really angry, that level would be a full blow, not a half wave. No, I would have destroyed them all.”
“Father is right. I felt the same way when I came to pick up my sister the other day.”
“Did the Empire react that way with that?”
Baron John Nassen shook his head and took in the scenery of the islands in front of him.
“We still have a long way to go. This place.”
