Rosent, with a very distorted face, brushed off the pieces of ice that stuck to his arms and took a few steps back.
‘Damn, I never thought Layton would be this strong.’
Travis.
This is a family that has never left Brillant since the past, and is currently the most powerful family in the Brillant Kingdom.
But I thought it was done with Ren Argen’s halo on his back, but wasn’t it?
It was said that the strongest person in the family was Cohen Travis, who was an expert in the squadron.
There was talk that the current matriarch was just Cohen’s puppet… … , Looking at it now, it didn’t seem like that either.
A competency that is in no way inferior to those of advanced knights.
Moreover, the change in nature that deals with cold is more sophisticated and outstanding than expected.
‘It will be difficult to deal with Layton right away. If the others take care of the knights while I catch Layton-.’
Quaaa!!
Dust rising with a violent explosion.
“Kuheook!!”
A groan filled with pain is heard from inside.
While Rosent flinched at the sound.
Pow!!
With a harsh sound, another figure rushed through the air and entered the dust.
Saaa-.
As the dust settled and the blurry silhouette became clear, Rosent opened his eyes and slowly opened his mouth.
“play… Rat? Lidwin?”
Flat Wallenberg, who had collapsed clutching his abdomen, and Ridwin, who had a small dish knife stuck in his right shoulder, were groaning in pain.
‘What am I looking at?’
They are not ordinary knights, but both are skilled knights, reaching the level of mid-level knights.
However, in this short period of time, the two people ended up in a miserable situation.
‘Was Ren Argen hiding…? … !’
Rosent quickly turned his gaze to look for Ren, but there was not even a trace of his nose in sight.
“age… print?”
A cutlery knife stuck in Lidwin’s shoulder.
And the image of the escort knight turning another knife between his fingers.
“There’s nothing special about Wallenberg.”
Basil grinned as if to provoke them and threw away the knife he had been twirling.
Huh!
Although it seemed like a light throw, Rosent was shocked to realize that it was difficult to even react to it.
“Hmph!”
Rosent, who barely managed to avoid the knife while holding his breath, glares at Basil with startled eyes.
‘assassin? No, no. ‘This is different from that.’
The guard did not let down his guard even for a moment. However, it was half a beat late to recognize him throwing the knife and to react to it.
‘Difference in level… … .’
A top level knight, perhaps even higher.
‘It doesn’t make sense. A guy who is just Ren Argen’s guard knight is that talented? Then, what exactly is Ren Argen like?’
Rosent’s eyes shook as if there was an earthquake. As I felt the severity of the situation, I naturally began to notice the people in this space.
Layton Travis, who clashed swords with him, Jeffman Albert, the commander of the Golden Lion Knights, and that mysterious man who was Ren’s guard knight.
‘Senior knight, lieutenant, and top swordsman…’ … .’
Considering Ren Arzen and Kali Arzen, Brilliant’s power was beyond imagination.
The skills of the Golden Lion Knights did not seem to be much different from those of the Empire’s knights. The difference from Baran’s delegation is only in numbers, but in terms of actual strength, Brilliant is no less powerful.
‘What on earth happened to Brilliant? How can so many strong people… … .’
Rosent gritted his teeth. It was at a level that should not be ignored simply as a small country.
I understood why Ren Argen acted so confidently from the first time we met.
I was confident.
“sleep… Kahn. Let’s leave it at this. “We were having a bit of fun.”
Rosent thought he should take a step back now. It was because he thought that Wallenberg’s status had already been tarnished enough, but if things continued like this, there would be no turning back.
gulp-.
Dry saliva flows slowly down my throat.
I could feel the chill and the knights’ hostility. It wouldn’t be strange to see it end like this.
The only thing he could rely on was that it was a period of remembrance for the Holy Kingdom and that he was a direct descendant of Wallenberg.
It wouldn’t be a good situation for Brilliant to make a bigger fuss than this.
“Are you saying we should stop after arguing first and getting punished?”
Basil said with a full laugh, as if resolving a grudge he had not been able to resolve during his time as a mercenary.
At that time, he had not even crossed the wall, and because of his status as a mercenary, he had no affiliation to protect him. That’s why he endured all sorts of hardships from powerful families, empires, and kingdoms.
But now it’s different. Basil also had forces and a captain to protect him.
‘Is this the taste of power? ‘I’m a little worried that the opponent is Wallenberg, but I feel relieved.’
“… … “What do you want?”
Rosent bowed first and came in.
“From now on, we will not touch Brilliant.”
“Of course that much-.”
“And I guess I’ll have to pay for ruining our drinking party.”
“… … “I will give it to you.”
“It will be a bit expensive.”
“Send a claim and send it. I’ll give it to you. Is that the end?”
“And finally.”
“what?”
Basil raises one corner of his mouth and smiles.
“Come to your senses and live. “Don’t tarnish your father’s name.”
“… … .”
Rosent, who crumpled his face at the obvious ridicule, turned around and disappeared as if running away.
The knights who were standing unharmed followed him and went out, supporting the fallen.
“dad! I told you to be patient! “If it wasn’t for the escort driver, we would have been in big trouble!”
“Oh, I’m sorry. But those guys… … !”
“I’m really fine. “Anyway, whenever the topic of children comes up, you get so mean.”
Layton scratched his head at Bianca’s reprimand and put away his sword.
Basil’s intervention ended things more smoothly than expected, but before he intervened, the situation was about to get serious.
“I’m sorry.”
Layton went to Basil and apologized.
“hahahaha! “I did something for granted, but why are you looking like that?”
Basil said, tapping Layton on the shoulder.
‘You’re a bigger person than I thought. I didn’t make a very good impression when you started arguing with me.’
‘When the captain is not around, I have to lead them. ‘Cancer, of course.’
As the two people raised their glasses in a friendly atmosphere, others also raised their glasses as well.
The atmosphere, which had been depressed due to Wallenberg, burned more energetically due to Wallenberg.
Meanwhile, Ren and Kali were there at the invitation of the Rosaria delegation.
“Lord Ren! Long time no see!”
A neat-looking man smiled brightly and ran towards Ren.
“Arthur, how are you?”
“yes! Thanks to Lord Wren, the situation in the North has improved greatly. “Since the fall of the monster army, monsters have not even thought of coming out of the black land snowfield.”
“That’s a good thing.”
Arthur Eibenshutz arrived as the representative of the northern delegation. Commander Stephen was still too busy rebuilding the North, so he sent his son Arthur.
Arthur expressed his happiness to Ren by excitedly talking about how much better the North had become, and Ren also relieved his thoughts by talking about what had happened in Brilliant.
“so… … , uh? Ah, I think I talked too much.”
“No, are you okay?”
“no. “The princess is coming, so let’s talk.”
Carina Elliot, with purple hair neatly braided, approached Ren.
“It’s been a while.”
“Yes, princess.”
Ren was momentarily speechless at the sight of Karina’s beautiful appearance in a harmonious silver and white dress.
I didn’t know that he was always hiding his identity or wearing clothes for battle, both in the North and in Avitrari, but now that he was dressed up like this, he seemed like a different person.
“Why do you look at me like that?”
“Oh, no. “You came as the representative of the delegation this time.”
“Yes, you also came as a representative of the delegation. “I was a little surprised.”
“It just so happened that it happened that way.”
Is it because we met at the banquet hall?
Unlike in the gloomy and dark Avitrari and the harsh snowy mountains, words between the two did not flow easily.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Ren, who took a few sips of his drink in silence, spoke first.
“Her Majesty Queen Melissa personally sent me a letter the other day.”
“Yeah, but he’s feeling sad inside because you didn’t reply.”
“… … .”
Ren realized that he had brought up the wrong topic and blamed himself.
“Ah, hahahaha… … . “I have a lot of work to do at Brilliant.”
“Know. How busy must you be? I kept hearing about Brilliant’s situation. “Her Majesty the Queen was just joking, so don’t worry about it.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
Silence fell between the two again.
The only sound that broke the silence was the sound of alcohol going down my throat.
“You are suffering from a disease. Tsk.”
Kali Arzen, who was watching this from afar, clicked her tongue and muttered.
“hahahaha… … , How good does this look? “Isn’t that right?”
An old man with white hair in a golden uniform asked the two middle-aged knights next to him.
“hahahahaha, the corps commander has eyes to see. Isn’t it? Soren?”
“Yes, it suits my eyes very well. “You are a handsome man and woman.”
Zane and Soren, the leaders of the Rose Knights and the Hundred Flowers Knights, also watched the two people and took a sip, unable to hide their smiles.
It wasn’t just them. All the tables around Ren and Karina were listening to their conversation, keeping the sound as low as possible.
“cadet! “There must be a man the princess has met!”
“So, if you can’t say things like that, do you think Lord Ren will understand your feelings?”
“The princess needs to change her cold tone first? Why does someone who is usually so warm talk like that in front of Lord Ren? really!”
The women on the delegation continued to sigh and pound their chests.
“… So when are you coming?”
In the silence between the two people at that time, Karina was the first to open her mouth.
Then, a shallow exclamation came from the surroundings. The two people couldn’t hear that sound because their minds were busy.
“yes?”
“Didn’t your mother invite you?”
“ah.”
As Ren pauses in answering, another sigh comes from around him.
‘Ah-oh! You should say it was the Princess who did it, not Her Majesty the Queen!’
‘I want to see you, so tell them to come quickly!’
People could not bear to express their frustration in words and just groaned inside.
“After this memorial service, I will stop by Brilliant and then go right away.”
“okay. “One, if you’re busy and can’t come, why don’t you-”
“Oh my! princess!”
Suddenly, a woman comes from behind and brushes off Karina’s clothes.
“What are you doing?”
“There’s something buried here. princess.”
“… “Okay, thank you.”
“yes.”
The woman smiles, puts down the hem of her dress, and whispers in Karina’s ear.
“Princess, no, leader. “I’d rather not say the last word.”
After saying that, she slowly took a step back.
When Karina heard those words, her eyes widened and she looked at the woman who was one of her members.
A member raises his hand and shouts fighting.
Only then did Karina realize that the attention of those around her was focused in this direction, and her face turned slightly red.
“Big, big. Anyway, be sure to come this time.”
“All right.”
“I’m not feeling well, so I guess I should go in first.”
“Oh, are you not feeling well? “For no reason, it’s because of me-.”
“It’s not like that.”

“But your face is a little red. “I know an excellent priest, so I will ask him if he can look after the princess tomorrow.”
“As far as that goes-.”
“no. “You’re doing this because you’re worried about me, so please don’t hesitate.”
“… … i get it. “Don’t go in first.”
Karina turned and went inside with a redder face.
‘… Are you worried?’
Her mind was confused by Ren’s words, and she felt like she was actually feeling a little sick.
‘I really need to get a check-up. Ren said he would bring an excellent priest, so I guess I should repay him.’
She entered the room, picturing tomorrow in her head.
Ren was puzzled by the atmosphere of the banquet hall, which seemed to have become a little quiet, and saw someone familiar.
A swordsman with black messy hair. Lorez Kadelberg, son of a Northern Proviant lord.
That guy, a knight belonging to the Black Star, was here.
‘Why is that guy…? … ?’
