1. Ed Gleard – (2)
***
“Still, do you have anything to say to me?”
The woman pauses and hesitates at the sight of Ed asking coldly as he turns his head.
The first thing that catches your eye is the knight insignias of the Glaad family located all over the woman’s body.
Decorations in the shape of a blue hawk were placed all over the woman’s body, including a luxuriously embroidered sword.
The mere fact that an individual had so many knightly family insignias meant that the woman’s status was by no means ordinary.
Blue-colored knight armor unique to the Glaad family. Even that was wearing a full plate armor that was custom-made and lightweight, and the shiny blue hair that was revealed after taking off the helmet. A fine appearance revealed beneath it.
It was a beauty that seemed to catch the attention of those around her just by being there.
A face that gives a soft impression but looks weak overall. However, the two bright blue eyes seemed to contain the shining stars that existed within them. A tall nose, skin that was so white that it was pale.
The eldest daughter of the Glaad family and the third, Ashera Glaad, called the Blue Flower of the North.
That was her identity.
“Ed, I really didn’t make the decision too hastily… Can you really, really be sure?”
“Lady Ashera, again, I have no regrets or regrets about my decision.”
From noble mtl dot com.
“… ….”
Ed speaks calmly in a cold tone.
Ed’s cold side, which is hard to see normally, made Ashera unconsciously hesitate to hold him.
ㅡAre you interested in the position of the successor of Glead?
The grandfather, who is called the blue shield of the empire, spoke directly to Ed.
Aisen Glade, the blue shield of the Chaldean Empire.
That he just asked his adopted son about his intention for the position of successor.
If someone else related to the Glaad family heard it, it was a dangerous statement that would not be strange even if a huge snowstorm broke out within the Glead family beyond a huge scandal.
“… Ed, you will never get a better chance than this.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“Unbeknownst to you, Ed, I know you are discriminated against here in the North.”
“I don’t care.”
“Simply one knight…. Are you really satisfied with that, Ed?”
Even though she came out of the private room with a resolute refusal, Ashera’s words persisted. I could feel the meaning contained in it.
To himself, who is only an adopted son, he is the heir to a huge family of knights called Gleaad. I hope you will pay attention to the place.
From Aizen, his teacher, to Ashera, who was trying to convince him in front of him, he couldn’t understand either of them.
Really, what if you accepted it?
How do you plan to deal with the huge confusion ahead of you?
If you have your will here as they wish, there will surely be a huge ripple that will throw the North itself into chaos.
The position and reputation of the Glead family in the North were not light.
The position of the successor was already split into three factions, with the eldest and second sons of the Gleard family, and the youngest, the last man excluding himself, and the factional fight was fierce.
The words that Aizen, my teacher, who had been watching their faction silently, suddenly gave me.
Aizen’s voice was neither light nor heavy.
The voice of the teacher, who just calmly looked at himself and spoke, nevertheless had a huge weight as if it weighed down the space.
ㅡAre you interested in the position of the successor of Glead?
And even the content was not something to be taken lightly.
No, on the contrary, it was too heavy, and I even felt like a big rock was pressing down on my chest.
Continuing to turn Ashera’s eyes away from herself, Ashera meets her eyes.
Blue eyes that are so clear that they are even transparent.
I looked at her bright blue eyes for a while, as if I had taken out a star from her and put them in.
Facing her made her feel afraid to herself.
She was not allowed to hold her feelings against her in vain, and she already had one person in her heart.
That’s why it was dangerous.
“Lady Asherah.”
Ashera She opened her mouth, holding her heart that was about to be shaken by her beauty.
The appearance is as simple as it looks on the outside, but it was never simple.
Just by looking at beautiful things, the heart easily falls into emotion.
Just as the moment she looks at a beautiful flower, she naturally wants to smell its scent as well.
Her Asherah is by her side. Looking at her, she naturally looks at her as well.
“… Ashera She asked the young lady if she would be satisfied with being a simple knight, but for me, being a single knight from the start. I had no other thoughts than that.”
“I know what you fear. Fearing that you will bring more confusion to the Glaad family. Isn’t that it?”
“Doesn’t Lady Asherah know? That the North is already in a little chaos.”
The eldest son, second son, and eldest son fought fiercely among the factions of the Glaad Knight family, which were divided into three factions.
I couldn’t even count how many factions I’d been invited to, even myself, who was purely trying to rise as a high-level knight without being involved in factions.
“Then, at the end of the chaos, whoever becomes the heir to the Glead family, the chaos will spread even more, Ed, don’t you know better because it’s you?”
Ed let out a small sigh at the sight of her questioning him casually with her beautiful voice.
The eldest son who is famous for being cruel with his tyrannical temper.
The second son who fell in love with women and didn’t even learn swordsmanship properly.
Even a man who was already greedy at a young age.
Things like flaws, big or small, existed for them.
And that was the level of rumors that prevented them from being known to the outside world at the family level.
That’s why they haven’t been revealed to the outside world yet. Inside the Glead family, each known incident had its own things that were difficult to take lightly.
The eldest son ordered the massacre by burning a small village in an unknown province because he did not like it.
The second son with a history of forcibly committing countless women who already have families.
A man who single-handedly tried to steal about 10 percent of the entire family’s property.
Even if the things Ed himself knew were known to the world, the status of the Glaad family would fall to the ground.
“… Even if they have their own problems, the vassals who support them are still competent.”
“Even those retainers have changed, Ed.”
“At any rate, for me to pass them over and make fun of the Gleades’ heir is the kind of thing that shouldn’t be raised.”
Ashera frowned at the sight of Ed who interrupted her with a determined voice.
A moment of silence lingered between Ed and Asherah.
“…….”
“…….”
Although facing each other, their gazes continued to diverge.
And within that, Ashera finished her momentary troubles.
Asera herself, it was the same as the words she didn’t want to say, but she had to get it right somehow from now on, so she made a short decision.
Within a moment, Ashera, who had an infinitely serious expression, overbearingly shut her mouth.
“Ed Gleaard.”
“Yes, Miss Asherah.”
As soon as he heard that voice, he straightened his posture and took a special stance against Edgar Ashera.
Ed’s appearance was one of the standard expressions that the Glead family, with their high prestige, would only show their respect to someone like the emperor.
—Ed Gleaard.
Ed, who was adopted, was surprisingly given the surname ‘Glead’ by Eisen Glead.
Considering that a family of knights giving a surname to both children was rare, Ed was receiving such a huge favor that it was simply indescribable.
And that was pushed forward as the opinion of Eisen Glade, who was almost dogmatic.
He single-handedly revived his family and raised its power, and is like the spiritual leader of the north.
Aizen Glaade His words were like a law in the North.
That’s why Aizen made Ed him officially given the surname ‘Glead’ despite various objections from the Glead family.
And at the same time, an order from Eisen Glade was issued that Ed couldn’t refuse.
ㅡAs for the words of Asherah, who calls you by your full name, follow what they say.
That order worked like an irresistible ‘law’ engraved on his chest ever since the day Edgar was given the surname Glead.
Obviously, his consciousness existed, but from the moment he heard Ashera say his full name, it was difficult for him to even think of falling in love with anything.
“Ed, that you have existed as the sword of Glaad for the past several years since you entered Glaad. You haven’t forgotten that feeling, have you?”
“I remember.”
Seeing Ed talking as if he was giving an immediate answer, Ashera bit his lip hard. Ed looks businesslike and doesn’t feel any emotions. That look was one of the most hated things Ashera had ever seen.
That’s why he wanted to convince him with his own words.
“They are like chaos that degrades the Gleades, try to kill one of them, the eldest son Gorea.”
“…I understand.”
Beta MC. Not good.
