Chapter 304
Isaac’s father, Hawk Ducker Michelle’s life is more upbeat than others.
A person who was born as a child of an ordinary commoner, but showed great dance from an early age, and accidentally caught the eye of a nobleman and became a knight.
In fact, it is common for a commoner to become a knight in the Minerva Empire, but the military achievements he has built are by no means ordinary.
The protagonist of the dragon subjugation known as the Ascanal Incident, and the person who defended the border area that was occasionally invaded by barbarians and elf patrols for more than 10 years.

Each of the achievements that Hawke made had a great impact on the Minerva Empire, and the defense of the border area in particular was even recognized by the imperial family.
Before he was deployed, the border area was a place where barbarians invaded whenever there was a chance, causing a lot of damage.
Moreover, it is a natural procedure for him to be given a title just because he has prevented a large-scale offensive of the barbarians.
But maybe it’s because I lived by fighting every day? His active duty period is very short compared to other knights.
Unless you are seriously injured, there is no retirement for a knight. It is possible to work until the day you die if you judge yourself to be okay.
If it was Earth, it would be almost impossible due to the aging that comes to the body, but this world is a fantasy world view where ‘mana’ exists.
Mana not only prevents aging but also makes it possible to strengthen the body, so it can be of great help to occupations such as knights.

Even if the body itself is aging, it is enough to replace it with the mana technique that has been honed for decades.
This is the reason why so many people are often called ‘Noikjang’, and the Minerva Empire treats its soldiers very well.
Anyway, the reason Hawke retired at an early age despite this unique culture is none other than his ‘heart’.
Think about it. A comrade, who used to laugh and chat with excitement, turns into a cold corpse overnight, and even a savage must kill.
And if this is repeated every day, can a normal person survive?
This was the border area at the time Hawke was working. Even the reason he was able to become a knight commander at a young age was because all his colleagues and superiors around him had died.

Even after becoming the commander of the knights, this tragedy was repeated. An extreme environment that ordinary people cannot survive without going crazy.
Fortunately, Hawk endured such an environment silently and continued the battle, and in the middle, he met a lovely lover and signed a hundred-year bond.
After that, after silently continuing his main business, he produced a late-stage index who could stop even the barbarian’s general offensive and leave it to the rest of the work.
Finally, he was given the title of count from the imperial family, but he was deliberately given the title of baron because he refused to suffer any more.
Truly a great person who can decorate a page in history. However, Hawk refused to be known for the sake of his comfortable life.
The imperial side also wanted to use his reputation like a chimney, but his respect for the soldiers was clear, so he complied.
In this way, Hawk continued his life of harmony after putting an end to his glamorous, glamorous, and brutal military life.
The eldest son Dave and the eldest daughter Nicole followed in their footsteps and joined the Navy, and the youngest daughter Lily was lovely without a doubt.
Finally, the second son, Isaac, is Hawk’s greatest pride and, paradoxically, a nuisance.

Even though his son is Xenon, he should be proud of himself. Why are you calling him a troublemaker? you might ask

Even Hawk himself told Isaac he could use himself as a shield. He actually didn’t mind if he used himself as a shield.
The problem is that Isaac’s status has risen too high. At the time when he said that, he was only a great writer worthy of being recorded in history.
This is enough, but now? Now it is just treated as a bible.
A biography of an ordinary (?) great writer and a prophet or regressor. What would have had a greater impact?
Let the shield be pierced by the spear, let alone the shield. Obviously, it’s good that my son has grown up, but he’s grown too big to fit in a bowl.
Isaac’s fame already exceeds the achievements of Hawke during his active service. It is a situation where Isaac has to become a shield, not his shield, to protect the family.
What would happen if Hawk suddenly became a shield in such a situation?
“Lord!! Are you really Zenon?!”
“Tell me once! If not, say no, if yes, say yes!”
“Baron! Why did you kill Kair!”
Whatever it is, it’s a mess.
Thousands of people are gathering in front of the main gate of the Michelle mansion. They did not discriminate between men and women, and they were commoners who heard the news in the newspaper.
Most of them are also Youngji residents living in the Michelle estate. After reading the newspaper, one or two people flocked to the front door, and after a few days, the crowd grew to innumerable.
Fortunately, the personnel guarding the gate managed to control it, but it is literally just control. If you pierce it with force, it will pierce easily.
Right now, the front of the gate looks like this, but will the inside of the mansion be peaceful?
“Are you sure you’ll get away with it? All of these things represent Baron Michelle.”
“Currently, Michelle’s estate is being developed into a sanctuary beyond the Holy Land, so are you going to lie in the place of God’s protection?”
“If it’s not you, then who the hell is Xenon?”
Not at all. Currently, Hawk was busy dealing with nobles who had come from nowhere.

Even if the common people who are protesting outside do not know about it, the visits of the nobles should be received only if it is not something to do.
In addition, if you reject even this, it may give you more confidence, so you should avoid that much.
At this, Hawk opened his mouth with a cough as he looked at the nobles sitting side by side at the guest table.
“…Where the hell do you think I’m Xenon?”
“Red hair and golden eyes.”
“I have a wealth of experience as a knight. Based on that, I would have put the battle scenes in Xenon’s biography.
“It must have been as wise as a sage in transforming a city that was originally desolate into a city of culture.”
The nobles who answered Hawke’s question kindly. Hawk looked at it and was stunned.
Red hair and golden eyes have not only him, but Dave and Isaac as well. Lily is a newborn baby, so let’s make an exception.
What to put in Xenon’s biography based on his rich experience as a knight? It’s possible because he told Isaac.
‘There is also a method of fighting that I do not know.’
Although Hawke went through more serious events than others during his active duty, there are many things he did not experience in Zeno’s biography.
Besides, as it is said, most of Isaac’s creations were done by himself. He only gave advice on historical evidence-related parts.
Finally, it is their own misunderstanding that they transformed an empty land into a cultural city. The imperial family did it all, and he only took a lot of payment documents.
However, because these parts are exquisitely beaten, everyone mistakenly thinks Hawk is a Xenon.
“Whoa… Contrary to what you think, I’m not Xenon. So, would you like to leave for today?”
“Okay. Instead, I hope to hear a good answer next time.”
“We don’t want to touch Xenon either, so let’s go.”
“Before that, can I ask you one thing? Why did Kair die…”
The nobleman who asked the last question was dragged away by the touch of another nobleman. While he is being dragged away, the point is that he wants to hear an answer somehow.
Hawk sighed deeply as he looked up at the ceiling as if a storm had passed by.
It’s a lightning bolt in the dry sky, and I’m living a life like any other, and I can’t figure out what’s going on.
‘I’m never a thoughtless kid…’
We already know about the incident where Isaac slapped Hiriya in the face. Lina also contacted Hawke just in case for her.
This situation is probably also the cause, but it’s just cramped because I don’t know the detailed circumstances.
‘Looking at it, I’m sure there are things I don’t know.’
Right now, Isaac is faithfully fulfilling the role of the shield as desired. The priority is to somehow calm the estate until he arrives at the estate.
Hawk hurriedly rose from his seat, wishing Isaac to arrive.
They sent the nobles back, but that doesn’t mean the work is over. There is still a mountain of work to be done, and I cannot procrastinate just because I am tired.
And there are still young people outside shouting in a crowd, so you have to calm down from that.
‘What are you thinking, son?’
*****
Just as Hawk is dealing with the nobles, there is one person in the Michelle estate who is in a similar situation.
That person was none other than Musk Grid, the publisher of Xenon’s biography.
He was living a peaceful life as before, but was faced with a difficult situation when Zeno’s identity was suddenly revealed.
“Is Xenon really the one with red hair and gold eyes?”
“If you tell me that, I’ll give you all the money here!”
“Anyway, there is nothing to hesitate in the yard that has been revealed, is there?”
Musk couldn’t help but be embarrassed when he saw the nobles and the rich who tried to trick him with all sorts of gossip and bribes.
In my heart, I want to accept it. This is so different from before, even though the situation is different.
Until then, Zeno’s identity had not been properly established. So he was able to cut it off and refuse to do something to keep his faith.
But the situation now is somewhat subtly different. Unlike Hawke and others around Isaac, he couldn’t even guess what had happened.
Strictly speaking, I read the newspaper, but I don’t know anything about how the news spread.
Hawk is also up to Hawk, but Musk is a lightning bolt of dry skies in the true sense of the word.
‘Should I say this or shouldn’t I?’
Musk looked at the faces of the aristocrats who had come all the way to the president’s office, and smiled annoyed.
If you look only at the newspapers, Zeno’s identity is almost revealed, but the problem is that it is not certain. Right now, most people think Hawk is Xenon.
If he answered yes, the situation would be better than it is now, but he doesn’t know what Isaac will think. There is no hole to get out of, so I want to cry.
“I’m sorry, but could you please wait a bit? Zeno’s letter will come soon anyway, so it’s difficult to say this.”
“When the hell is that letter coming?”
“Can’t we just say yes or no?”
“Can’t even say that in the yard that has already been revealed?”
these cubs Can’t stand it too It had only been a few days since the news broke.
Musk responded with a smile, pushing the desire to utter the above words.
He couldn’t spit on his smiling face, so the people who pressed him had no choice but to retreat reluctantly.
No, to be precise, I was about to back out.
rumble!
“Boss! A letter has arrived from Xenon!”
Until Matthew, a loyal servant and secretary, comes in with Zeno’s letter.
At Matthew’s intrusion, everyone’s eyes, including Musk, focused on him.
“Hey, give it to me. Hurry up!”
Matthew, who received that gaze at once, reacted by saying that he had made a mistake, but it was passed on by Musk’s quick judgment.

Eventually, Matthew received a stinging glance and delivered a letter to Musk, who slowly opened the letter.
The difference between the time the news appeared in the newspaper and the time the letter arrived was short, but it didn’t matter.
sizzle-
“What is written?”
“Speak quickly!”
Wait a minute, you bastards. I just started reading.
Musk frowned at their behavior, which was not even the slightest bit of patience. Fortunately, the letter was not taken away haphazardly.
Then he began to read slowly from the first sentence. As always, the first sentence was a bland introduction.
What followed was…
“······Huh?”
“Why?”
“Isn’t it true that Count Camar was wrong?”
Musk’s bewildered reaction drew attention from people. Some of them just keep their mouths shut, not saying anything because they are nervous.
Musk then looked down at the letter, blinked his eyes, and then lifted his head. After he lifted it, he said, facing them directly.
“Come here.”
“Are you coming?”
“Who? Xenon?”
“Yeah.”
The little ball that Hiriya launched.
“Exactly one week from the current time.”
become a giant meteor.
“It is said that he will appear at the concert hall.”
Fallen to Michelle’s estate.

Meanwhile, at the same time, Albenheim.
“Is the rumor true? If it’s true, it narrows the scope considerably.”
“I’m not sure yet. But I hope it’s true. We’ll have to present the Queen to Xenon soon.”
“Neither can I. I can’t lose to a demon who has no roots.”
As the rumors about Zeno’s identity spread, the elves began to roar one by one. Most of the people were curious about Zeno’s identity, but he also expressed deep interest in Arwen.
As soon as Xenon’s identity is revealed, Arwen as a gift was agreed upon by the entire nation, not anyone else.
He was an elf who had been pushed by demons so far, so this time he was trying hard.
No matter how good a gift you give, you can’t beat the queen who is as good as Albenheim itself.
When the public opinion of Albenheim is united with one heart, Arwen…
‘What do we do? What do we do? What do we do?’
Surprisingly, I am very confused.
‘What should I wear then? Is this your first time? have you never done it before? This wasn’t even explained in the book. No, did Kair and Elisha have a relationship before that? There was no such description.’
While drinking kimchi soup alone.
‘You won’t like Isaac, will you? You don’t want to compare yourself to that fat girl? I’m confident below… Uh. no. I have nothing to do with it either.’
I am worried about the ‘future’ that is too far ahead.
