90 – County of Eschik (4)
The looks from the mourners were not kind.
Anxiety as if seeing a problem or a bomb.
This was a passage that showed how the nobles evaluated the Marquis of Eloran.
He is not just an adolescent child, but the leader of the North is treated like that.
I was so embarrassed.
Still, the Marquis did not cause any particular problems.
It seemed like they had decided to ignore Marquis Dercian’s lateness as if nothing had happened.
In that way, Sirien’s consciousness passed without any major problems.
The Saint of Rest declared.
“Hibras took away his soul. Now that the hard day is over, it’s time to have a comfortable night. “He will give you a comfortable seat.”
* * *
As soon as the ceremony was over, the Marquis came to see us.
I knew we didn’t just come across it by chance, but I didn’t expect him to come visit us in person like this.
Uncomfortable air flows.
I rented one of the Count’s living rooms, and a teacup was placed on the table.
There were cookies that Sirien might have liked, but she didn’t seem to like them.
Sirien, she doesn’t touch the refreshments. It’s a rare sight.
Since I was an escort, I stood behind Sirien and faced her counterpart.
Even though it seemed like there was nothing to do other than stand around looking at each other, that wasn’t really the case.
If the situation turned somewhat ‘rough’, the role of the guard was to protect the safety and honor of the lord.
“Now, can I listen to it? “How did the Lord of the North find me?”
“He is the leader of the North. “That’s really nice to hear.”
Sirien spoke in a cold tone.
A different feeling from being blunt or aggressive.
It was an extremely business-like nuance that seemed to draw a clear line.
It’s hard to see his shy side in front of me, but since he’s the other person, he doesn’t seem to hide it.
Well, in the original work, Sirien was no less than the crown prince.
As much as she was portrayed as a determined and evil woman, Sirien was a cold person when dealing with ‘others’.
As for my princess, she doesn’t show kindness to anyone.
“No one says that these days, but hearing it from the saint actually gave me a new feeling.”
“I don’t think that’s the question I was asking.”
“I guess so. But, is there any other reason why you two came to visit me at a time like this? “I don’t think we’re necessarily meeting each other for the first time.”
“Well. “I’m not good enough, so I don’t dare understand the Marquis’s wishes.”
“Change boats. I am being generous, so I will turn a blind eye to everything that has happened so far. “Don’t do anything you’ll regret anymore.”
The Marquis looked calm.
He seemed to think that since he had given us a chance, we would definitely accept it.
I couldn’t figure out what the source of that confidence was.
“It’s difficult. We are already active on the northern front. “I believe you are already on the same boat as the Marquis.”
“You know that’s not what I meant. I think very highly of your potential. So shouldn’t we now come out of the small well and play in the big water?”
“… ….”
“We, the Marquis of Eloran, are from a family that can call themselves noble among nobles. I assure you, opportunities like this are rare. “If not now, when are you going to try holding this big rope?”
When I glanced at Sirien, I noticed that Sirien’s cheeks didn’t even move.
She almost seemed like she was seriously thinking about it.
I was amazed at Sirien’s patience.
How can they do that?
Right now, the Marquis of Eloran is talking about ‘the big line’ in front of Grand Duchess Ilencia.
Isn’t that funny? I’m desperately trying to hold back because I feel like if I laugh at it now, the mood will be ruined.
“Of course, I’m not saying you should just change. I know very well how people view me. “Just today, your eyes were quite stinging.”

“Are you saying it’s all a misunderstanding?”
“No. Young days…… There is some ambiguity in that statement. I’m still young, hahahaha. I’ll just say it was a mistake I made when I was younger than I am now. “There is no excuse, but there is no need to make an excuse either.”
“It means you have changed.”
“That’s right.”
Sirien picked up the teacup.
Her cotton was lifted slightly, revealing her pretty lips.
Jjolop. The exhalation before I drank the tea felt like a sigh.
“Change is a good thing, but not always. She had heard that the Marquis kept ‘bad company’. “I hope it’s just a rumor, but I’m concerned that you may have thrown away something you should have protected.”
“Hey, think broadly. “All possibilities begin with imagination.”
“Imagination?”
“Times can change at any time. Yesterday’s enemy cannot become tomorrow’s friend. “Wouldn’t the one who first let go of old grudges become the master of the next era?”
You’re telling a comfortable story.
Since the Northern Front was established in its current location, the Marquis of Eloran has never lost anything.
The last time Eloran experienced war was when the Marquis of Jeondae was young.
It was doubtful whether the current Marquis of Dae would even set foot on the battlefield.
You’re talking about resentment over something you’ve never lost.
That alone was scandalous enough, but the term old grudge was annoying. Even the word era.
The person who said that. No, it was because I knew someone who would bring that logic and change the continent.
Alice, the saint of Asirel, the god of light.
The female protagonist of the original work who ends the long conflict between humans and demons and brings peace.
Break the chain of hatred. An era of peace and harmony will come.
Let go of grudges that don’t help anything.
These were the words she often said in her mouth.
‘Because. Why is the story that will only be talked about after Ellis’s reincarnation come from you now? ‘It’s too uneasy to be just a coincidence.’
It was an issue that was endlessly conflicted in the original work.
Are demons human? Is this something that can be reconciled?
Sirien and I shouted that it was not us, but the world sided with Ellis.
Oh my. There were so many things that came to mind that I lost track of the conversation for a moment.
When I looked again, Sirien was leaning her body against the backrest.
When Sirien sits down in her chair, she makes herself sit with her back straight.
The only time she leans back is when she wants to rest or needs to calm her mind for some reason.
She didn’t know what she was saying, but it seemed to her that Sirien’s patience had reached its limit.
“Don’t dwell on trivial things. Rather, wouldn’t it be reasonable to think about what I can bring to the church?”
“Please tell me.”
“I will build a temple for the Church of Hybras within the Marquis of Eloran. Of course, we won’t hesitate to provide any support we can. Also, she will provide several escort knights for you.”
“Yes? “An escort.”
The Marquis smiled leisurely.
It seemed like he thought things were going well as he intended.
I don’t think so.
It was probably not my mistake that her words sent a cold spell.
This is the first time I have seen Sirien speak so coldly.
“I know that the guardian of Hybras is very skilled. But there is such a thing as external image. Although the church’s strength is still small, it is not enough to have only one knight in the saint’s procession. The knights of our family…… “
“Stop. That’s enough, just stop. It’s not worth listening to anymore. How on earth did a dog come from a tiger? “My heart is saddened by God’s mercy.”
“What did you say just now?”
“I am saying that I will not engage in any negotiations with the current Marquis of Eloran, as your father may not know. As a saint, I have a duty to uphold the dignity of this church.”
His voice was full of anger.
It seemed like what I had been trying to hold back had exploded.
To Sirien, being a knight meant me. Just putting that lightly in her mouth was enough to stimulate Sirien’s disgust.
“Marquis of Eloran, you have a narrow perspective as a noble. We believe that what we see is everything, and we label what is merely narrow-mindedness as reasonable. “It seems the Marquis still hasn’t escaped the child’s sight.”
“If you say something like that carelessly, you will regret it. Are you confident you can handle it?”
Sirien chuckled.
No matter how you heard her, it was clearly a sneer.
“I can handle it. You’re saying something funny. How can I bear the fact that the Marquis was born with so little money? Don’t be too upset though. It is not a sin for the Marquis to lack something. If the sin lies in not revealing it, it is the fault of those who taught it.”
“… ….”
“As soon as the Marquis returns to his estate, I hope you will criticize the teachers who have taught you so far. “If Eloranhu is one of the pillars of the empire, she ruined the family head like this. How great is her crime.”
“I dare you. I looked at it favorably, but cubic crystals know no bounds. Okay, if your b*tch manages to come out like that, there will be no complaints even if you see her in a rough situation. “What are you doing, Allion?”
Okay. The situation got worse.
If this happens, I don’t have to stay still.
The guard of the Marquis of Eloran brought his hand to his sword.
I think you can overpower me if you draw the sword first, but I will wait for you to draw it, so draw it quickly.
Later, when other people see it, the picture will be pretty only if you are the only one with the sword drawn.
