“It is an infinite honor to meet the 7th Lord! My name is Kamson, the deputy commander of the 5th Knights of Baekrin.”
A man stiffened in complete tension saluted stiffly.
Your name is probably fine.
“I want to ask you something.”
“·······Yes! I will do my best to answer anything!”
“That white-haired woman over there.”
I asked her, pointing at her.
“What’s your name?”
Perhaps it was an unexpected question, the deputy general manager, Kamson, had a puzzled expression for a moment, and then quickly answered.
“This is Ashel, an apprentice knight. I joined three months ago and is currently undergoing an apprenticeship.”
······Also.
The moment I heard the name, I felt a slight goose down my spine.
I wish I could, but could such a coincidence exist?
‘Ashel Gronnhilt.’
One of the biggest protagonists of Rasha’s main story.
At first, he appears as an enemy, but as the story progresses, he is incorporated into an ally’s camp and gives great help.
‘At this point, I was an apprentice knight in the Overlord Castle.’
One natural question had to follow.
Why is she like an apprentice knight?
If the level was over 80, it was at a level that could go beyond the commander of the Knights of White Rin and become a member of the Black Rin, the most elite of the Overlord Castle. It was like that when it first appeared in the game.
‘······ Although it is roughly expected.’
But I know her background and circumstances.
Because of this, I was able to quickly come up with a plausible guess.
Are you still vigilant about your surroundings? So you joined with your power hidden?
‘What do you do with this?’
After the battle, Ashel was collecting her sword without showing any signs of exhaustion.
He glanced at this side while flipping his messy hair.
I fell into a brief anguish.
This was a great opportunity.
Even if not, now I have to find a reliable escort. And if it was her, she was a character of a character that could be trusted.
Besides, he’s strong enough now, but in the future, if he could use a person with the potential to grow to the level of a monarch as a helper here…
‘The question is how to persuade him.’
Currently, Ashel is a knight belonging to the Overlord Castle.
Of course, with the power of the monarch, it wouldn’t be difficult to take one apprentice knight even if he belonged to the Overlord Castle, but there was another problem.
Ashel had a clear purpose and became a knight of the Overlord Castle.
If I ignored it and forced her to take me as an escort, I didn’t know that she would become hostile to me instead of liking me.
“············”.
Let’s do it.
If you haven’t seen it, you wouldn’t know, but since you’ve found it like this, it’s too precious to just give up and pass by.
After making the decision, I opened my mouth again.
“When will the training end?”
“I’m planning on doing this for another hour or so…”
“I want to talk to her, can I take her when it’s over?”
At my words, the deputy chief turned into a confused face. This is the expected reaction.
In Calderic, the monarch is the sky.
It was a situation where such a monarch had a job to do with an apprentice knight and was going to take him personally.
“No, of course! You can take it right away….”
“No, in an hour.”
I said like a nail.
I needed time to organize my thoughts before we started talking.
“I’ll go back first, so please bring me back to the room slowly when training is over.”
I could feel Kaylan’s gaze getting a little weird at my words.
I wanted to be late. that it may lead to unnecessary misunderstanding.
“I just want to talk.”
Gutae-ya added, she bowed her head as if she was apologetic.
I turned to look at Ashhel one last time.
My mind was busy. How do I get her to escort me?
***
It had been an hour or so since Ashel came to the room.
“It’s an honor to see the 7th Lord. My name is Ashel, an apprentice knight belonging to the 5th Knights of Baekrin.”
Saluting with an expressionless face, she was wearing casual clothes, not the light armor she was wearing when training.
“Sit down.”
I reached out to the other side.
Ashel stood silent for a moment, then sat down.
A table for the two of us to sit together. Silence pervades the room.
hooch.
I drank tea without saying a word and glanced at the other side.
Asher, who was staring at the teacup in front of her, raised her head as if she felt my gaze.
The various emotions contained in the vivid scarlet eyes were vaguely felt.
Tension, vigilance, and doubt. Eyes that have no idea why they are doing this here.
······Honestly, the tension has increased this way.
The woman sitting in front of me right now is a monster over level 80, and what I will say from now on will definitely stimulate her greatly.
But for persuasion, this is probably the best way.
I opened my mouth.
“Are you hiding your power?”
Without procrastination, straight to the point.
“············”.
Ashel’s expression hardened slowly.
“I don’t understand why he’s an apprentice with his skills. I wonder why he’s hiding his power.”
“…I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
A faintly sharp voice, clearly alert.
“If you’re going to deny it, I’ll go straight to the point.”
Her eyes widened at my next words.
“Baekwol tribe.”
“······································································!
“I heard it was completely destroyed, but there must have been survivors. Why did you come to Overlord Castle?”
The sharply forged hostility strikes right through the whole body.
It was far behind compared to the energy of the thunderbolt that I had experienced during the monarch meeting, but it was only relative to the last, and it was a tremendous pressure.
Facing her gaze staring at me with a wildly distorted face, I said calmly.
“Stop thinking useless thoughts. It’s impossible on your own.”
Of course it was a lie.
If she draws and swings her sword here, I will die without even realizing that I am dying.
But I had faith that it wouldn’t.
First of all, Ashel is not a person who cares about killing. Although now is only a few years in the past, the nature will not be different.
Most of all, she wasn’t reckless enough to rush into someone much stronger than herself.
No matter how confident he is in his own abilities, the lord of Calderic must be aware of the fact that he is a different being.
“············”.
Ascertaining that the pretentiousness had worked, Ashel bit her lip and withdrew her energy.
Blood was dripping from his bitten lips, so he was a little sorry.
Perhaps now she would have been more confused.
You must be completely confused about how you found out who you are and what your purpose is.
The persuasion had just begun.
Now, let’s brush our mouths properly.

It was free rest after training, but Ashel had no choice but to go somewhere immediately after washing off her sweat and changing clothes.
As she followed Kaylan’s back, she pondered.
‘Isn’t he the 7th lord?’
A man who gave a strange gaze during training earlier.
He knew that rumors about the new seventh lords from the castle had been buzzing around.
After a long wandering, Ashel, who has recently become a knight of the Overlord Castle, doesn’t know much about Calderik.
However, seeing that the vice-captain Kamson, who was venomous to his subordinates, was frozen so tightly, the status of the existence of a monarch became a little real.
She had no idea what kind of person such a person wanted to have a conversation with.
Perhaps he noticed something, only a slight sense of uneasiness in the middle of his heart.
“I want you to keep in mind that the person you will meet from now on is the new owner of the 7th Throne. Please pay attention to your words and actions.”
“············”.
After listening to Kaylan’s last warning, he was seated in a large room that arrived along the long hallway.
shudder.
As the door closed and she was faced with the 7th lord alone, she greeted with courtesy.
“It’s an honor to see the 7th Lord. My name is Ashel, an apprentice knight belonging to the 5th Knights of Baekrin.”
Shapely golden eyes stare intently at this side.
“Sit down.”
The 7th lord stretched out his hand to the other seat.
Achel sat down, feeling awkward and uncomfortable.
For a moment, there was silence in the room.
The 7th lord just savored the tea without saying a word, and Ashel, who had nowhere to look, looked down at the teacup.
Before long, an unexpected word interrupted the conversation.
“Are you hiding your power?”
“············”.
“I don’t understand why he’s an apprentice knight with such skills. I wonder why he’s hiding his power.”
There were two questions that came to Ashel’s head with a bit of embarrassment.
How did you know it, and why did you ask it?
If you had noticed it from the time you watched and watched the training earlier, it would have been a real surprise.
From such a distance, what the hell did you notice and notice that? horsepower? Or some other heterogeneity?
“…I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
First, it was negative.
Ashel calmed her heart and watched the 7th lord’s reaction.
He continued speaking without changing his expression at all.
“If you’re going to deny it, I’ll go straight to the point.”
Main subject?
Up to this point she had not realized.
That the previous story wasn’t an important issue at all.
“Baekwol tribe.”
. . . my heart sank.
“I heard it was completely destroyed, but there must have been survivors. Why did you come to Overlord Castle?”
For a moment, Ashel’s head went white, and she couldn’t say anything.
‘how······.’
As far as noticing that he had hidden this ability, he could somehow understand.
But how on earth did he know that he was a white wolf?
It was the deepest secret she harbored that no one knew anymore, and should not be known in the future.
It was a reflexive and unconscious act to shoot hostility at the being in front of him who had casually revealed such a secret.
“Stop thinking useless thoughts. It’s impossible on your own.”
At the indifferent voice heard in her ear, Ashel suddenly woke up.
The 7th lord’s gaze was infinitely deep and calm.
Feeling overwhelmed by the static pressure, she slowly withdrew her hostility.
“············”.
yeah… that’s too much.
The person sitting right in front of you now is the lord of Calderic.
A top-class strongman on all continents. A being known to be stronger than the monstrous intelligence of Seintea.
Just by looking at the fact that the hidden power was discovered at once, it was clear that the difference in price was far-fetched.
It was clear that any attempt, whether by surprise or escape, would be in vain.
Feeling powerless at that fact, Ashel bit her lip. There was a fishy taste in the blood that flowed out.
I came to this place after overcoming despair and disappointment to somehow find a way forward.
“What do you want from me?”
Shaking in anger and barely squeezing out his voice, the 7th lord made a strange expression.
“You seem to be misunderstanding something. I’m not trying to intimidate you.”
“············”.
“What are you so afraid of being revealed? This is Calderic, not Seinthea. Do you think there is something different about being a Baekwol in this land where there is no racial discrimination?”
At that, Ashel bit her teeth.
Words can be easily communicated.
No one would understand unless it was the party involved.
