114. glory to the kingdom
A guard from the Slope Knights, Morgan hasn’t been in a good mood the past few days.
“Hey, Morgan. Is your arm okay today? Haha.”
“Shut up.”
The image as the strongest that has been built up so far.
It was because it cracked.
I actually knew.
That there are plenty of people stronger than you in the world.
Right now, even for the Slope Knights, Morgan was only at the bottom of the ranks.
So the place they came from was the port city of Filoren.
I’d rather be the head of a snake than live by the tail of a dragon!
It was such a promise.
No one in this city dared to oppose Morgan with force.
It was like that until Chapman, who was living with the Slope Knights, showed up.
That person who appeared pretending to be worried about his arm.
That man with long hair tied back and a shaggy beard was Chapman.
From when they were in the Slope Knights, at the same age and with similar skills.
He was a tough competitor…
‘I never thought this place was his hometown.’
Didn’t they meet here even after leaving the Knights?
If it had been someone else, I might have been more than happy.
If the two knights of the Slope Knights unite in unison, no matter how low they are.
It would be possible to eat the real power of one port city like this.
But Chapman was a completely different person.
Even over there, this city is my hometown, so I have existing connections…
It was a very unfavorable situation for Morgan.
In the meantime, after being embarrassed.
“If your arm hurts, take another day off and come back. I’ll substitute for you. Puhahaha!”
“Keugh……”
Chapman’s morale was literally skyrocketing.
Morgan gnashed his teeth.
‘That bastard broke my arm. It’s obviously the first time I’ve seen her face… Please appear in front of me one more time. I’ll tear you in two!’
It seemed that all of this was because of that man a few days ago.
Even if there wasn’t anything that happened back then!
Even if it wasn’t just embarrassing!
‘I will suffer this disgrace…’
But, then.
“Huh? Huh? Yes, what about you?…”
Morgan couldn’t help but be surprised.
The guy I was talking about yesterday…
‘what?’
It was because he appeared in front of me, dressed like a nobleman.
* * *
Evening with a cool sea breeze.
Diaz and I, along the main road of Filoren, a port city and resort.
They walked out together, being escorted by Mayor Dustem.
to the ballroom.
By the way, let’s get to the entrance of the ballroom.
Can’t you see the guard you met yesterday?
Yesterday, I ran without hesitation.
Today, from the beginning, it was seen that he hesitated and retreated.
And when he looked at his clothes, he hesitated once more.
The mayor of Dustem, who saw me and the guard’s eyes met, asked.
“Oh, one of the best escorts in our city. He’s from the Slope Knights, have you heard of it?”
“I don’t know.”
“Haha. You came from across the ocean, so it could be. But within the kingdom of Atyar, there are few warriors as famous as the Slope Knights.”
“is it?”
I asked, and looked at the guard and smiled.
With the nuance of whether it’s really that great.
Mayor Dustem didn’t seem to notice the sarcasm, but…
“Of course!”
The guard seemed to understand my intentions.
When you see the veins standing on your head.
I glanced up and down the guard.
He smiled lightly and nodded his head.
“Go in.”
“It is.”
So we entered the inside of the ballroom.
The ballroom was already in full swing.
Several nobles gathered in twos and threes, each holding wine in their hands.
We were having fun talking.
Seeing this, Diaz whispered softly.
“In the midst of the giants trying to turn the world upside down… to see them laughing and laughing without knowing anything.”
Then he let out a small sigh.
I too felt the same way.
However, there was nothing much to be gained by telling the truth here.
Those without power will cause needless confusion without helping.
The worst humans would rather stick to the Giants and interfere with them by doing treachery.
Therefore, revealing the truth to such an unspecified majority only became a negative factor.
“Rather, it is helpful to stay still while laughing. It is best for us to distinguish between those who can be informed and those who do not, and only inform the truth to those who can support us and move forward.”
“On the one hand, it’s bittersweet.”
“But, one day, they’ll know everything. They too. In the end, the end of what we have to do is the war against the giants… It’s impossible not to know.”
“At that time, everyone will recognize Rohan-sama’s hard work.”
“I’m not interested in that.”
I wasn’t really interested.
I wasn’t interested in anyone noticing my hardships or not.
It’s just that you can eat well and live well at the end.
In fact, the background to eat well was created.
My reputation on the continent of Antea is enough to live comfortably wherever I go.
I can eat well, but I’m moving because I’m afraid I won’t be able to live.
I was reading myself.
‘If only this job is done well… will you really stretch out and live comfortably? No worries about money, no worries about starving to death. While laughing.’
Let’s think of a happy ending.
The desire to quickly destroy the giants and live a happy life soared.
At that, my eyes sharpened and began to scan the inside of the ballroom.
‘Yesterday’s woman…I can’t believe she didn’t come today, right?’
To find the woman who gave off the devil’s stench.
I walked around the party for a few minutes.
Finally……
sh*t.
‘I found it…… You bastard.’
Raised the corners of his mouth.
* * *
Meanwhile, Levarsen was moving separately and alone.
It was to enter the ballroom, pretending not to be with Rohan and Diaz.
‘If it’s this invitation from Rohan… there won’t be any problem.’
She was accustomed to pretending to be an aristocrat, and gave an invitation to the guard.
The invitation was specially prepared by Rohan at the request of Mayor Dustem, so of course…
“Please go in.”
Guard checked the invitation and held it out to return it to Levarsen…
“Well?”
Isn’t that why you don’t let go of invitations?
At first it was Levarsen who thought something was wrong.
However, I realized right away when I saw the guard’s face.
‘……This is…the face right before the confession attack?’
Because half of his blood was an elf, Levarsen.
She was already more than a hundred steps away from this kind of attention.
He always stood out wherever he went.
So I often covered my face with a hood.
This time, due to the nature of the place, it appeared after a long time.
If you show up at a party with your face covered, it will look even weirder.
‘In addition, I’ve been hanging out with Rohan lately, so I forgot about it for a while…’
It’s been like this since childhood.
Human men who, if you make eye contact for a moment, will quickly rush into it.
‘That’s why I don’t think I have much interest in men.’
On the other hand, Rohan had never given himself such a look.
‘Surprisingly…’
Because of that, it seemed like this painful situation was easy.
But just because it’s been a while doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten how to deal with it.
Levarsen smiled slightly.
Tick.
I stole the invitation.
“Then, stop.”
It quickly disappeared from the guard’s eyes.
In this case, ignoring was the best option.
* * *
I quietly fixed my eyes on the target.
I drank wine with my mouth.
“If Orhel came, I would have forgotten everything and drank this.”
I wasn’t much of a drinker, though.
Even so, the wine here was different from the fragrance.
“It sounds delicious.”
It was such a different taste that Diaz nodded as well.
It is hard to find anything similar on the continent of Antea.
Seeing this made me feel like I was on a different continent.
But I couldn’t fully enjoy this wine.
Even in the midst of this, it was because my head was complicated.
“How can I approach it without being awkward…”
“That’s right. Whoa…”
It was enough to just hit it.
Besides, we didn’t just promote friendship, we had to dig up the things hidden behind it.
I definitely needed a room.
At that time, the right number of cases had not yet come to mind.
“What are you doing?”
Levarsen, dressed to the fullest, revealed his appearance.
The eyes of the crowd were already focused on Diaz alone.
Even Levarsen appears.
“Wow……”
“Who the hell is that?”
“The gentleman is very capable…”
“I envy you, I envy you.”
“Where are you, the rich boy?”
Whispers were heard from all directions.
Thanks to the keen sense of the third eye, I can hear everything even whispering.
It was to the point of embarrassment.
However, the problem was not that it was awkward.
More than that, the concentration of gaze was too severe.
Because I wanted to draw too much attention.
I put a little bit of life in my eyes and looked around.
Swoop.
“Ugh!”
“Keuk, kuhm.”
Then people started turning their heads one by one.
Thanks to that, Levarsen, who was able to afford it, approached and opened his mouth.
“Where is the target?”
I only pointed the direction lightly with my chin.
“Over there? Let’s see…”
By the way.
“……!”
Didn’t Levarsen’s face suddenly and rapidly freeze?
Feeling something strange, I asked her.
“What’s wrong? What’s wrong?”
“……It seems there is.”
“What?”
“It’s a familiar face.”
This time I couldn’t help but be surprised.
That woman with the smell of the devil knows Lebarsen?
“How do you know each other?”
“We were both half elves.”
“Half elf…”
However, the words were a little strange.
It was a half elf.
Isn’t it past tense?
I tilted my head.
“You mean you’re not a half-elf now?”
“You’re quick-witted. That’s right. They’re not half-elves right now.”
“then……?”
“Half, dark elf. An elf who gave up the blessings of nature and contracted with the devil. Turned into a dark elf.”
“……!”
Dark Elfani.
It seemed that an unexpected variable had popped up.
‘Wait a minute… this then…’
while organizing your thoughts.
Levarsen suddenly turned around.
I knew why Levarsen turned back.
It was because the Dark Elf was looking this way.
I guess it was because people were attracted to it.
So I made a decision.
“Diaz, Levarsen. You two get out of here. I think it’s better for me to take control of the situation myself.”
“Yes?……Lady Rohan, what do you mean by that?”
“Uh, what are you going to do?”
I gave them an answer.
“Don’t worry. There’s a way. But, Levarsen. Especially if you find out that you’re with me, everything will be nothing. I hope you get away quickly.”
“Ah, I see.”
“Then, come with me.”

Just like that, Levarsen and Diaz disappeared from the party without even showing off their beautiful clothes for several hours.
I confirmed that I had completely disappeared.
I approached Mayor Dustem and asked if I could say hello.
“Haha. As expected, Lord Rohan is interested in Rebecca? She’s beautiful. Of course, there’s nothing difficult about saying hello! Just follow me.”
Like that, walk slowly with Dustem Market.
With a smile on his face, hiding his true feelings with a greeting.
“Rebecca.”
“Ah. Mayor Dustem.”
“Are you busy?”
“No. If the mayor is looking for you, you’ll have to make time even if you’re busy, right? Huhu.”
Rebecca greeted us with an old-fashioned smile.
Mayor Dustem introduced me to him.
“This is Sir Rohan. He is a very, very skilled knight. He said he would like to say hello to our Miss Rebecca.”
“New contacts are always welcome. Nice to meet you, Lord Rohan. I’m Rebecca, who runs a little bar in the city of Filoren.”
“Oops, it’s small. Sir Rohan. Miss Rebecca’s tavern is the largest in our city of Filoren.”
I nodded and offered a toast.
“Nice to meet you, call me Rohan.”
braided.
Our glasses collide.
Take advantage of the gap that the distance is getting closer.
I opened my mouth softly into her ear.
“Glory to the Black Realm.”
It was a secret sign for the Dark Elves to understand each other.
The look on Rebecca’s face when she heard those words.
“Uh, how…?”
I was filled with surprise and amazement for a moment.
