91 – County of Eschik (5)
He kicked the ground and rushed at the Marquis’s guard.
On the way, an empty chair fell over. There must have been a sound, so someone will soon come from the count’s house.
Fortunately, I narrowed the distance in time.
Ultimately, a sword is a weapon that only makes sense when you swing your arm.
In close combat where the distance was narrowed to this level, it was not a big threat as long as you were careful.
The intention seems to be to subdue him by drawing the sword first, but in this case, it is enough for you to just draw the sword.
The Marquis’s guard. Alion said softly.
“I have no personal feelings.”
“Yeah, well. “I know.”
He grabs the hand that drew the sword and pulls it in, and kicks the foot that tries to resist, making it useless.
I was planning on knocking him down, but the opponent held his ground.
Considering the physical difference, it was a force that could have broken a leg.
Should it really be said to be the escort of a marquis? Even in unfavorable situations, he responded well.
I could see him trying to somehow break the deadlock in a situation where he couldn’t use his sword.
Okay. It looks like you’ve been training hard.
I don’t know where he got it from, but he seems to have a lot of practical experience.
But I’m also good at fighting.
I’ve been through a lot of rough times since I was young.
Therion’s competitive spirit should have been a bit stronger.
“Oops!”
I hit the Allion man straight in the nose with my fist.
Sticky hitting feeling. Since she was in trouble because she was dead, she tried to control her strength, but her fists were already covered in blood.
Of course, the opponent did not just sit still and get hit.
Do not make the mistake of allowing the next attack just because you are hit once.
If you just play and eat, you will never be able to rise to the level of the Marquis of Eloran’s guard.
My father, who was the guard of the Grand Duke of Ilencia, was a sword master.
My father is not a common case, but this man must also have stepped on the threshold of becoming a sword master.
The opponent was just bad.
Innate physical condition, skills, and experience. There was nothing that pushed me.
Less than a minute later, Arion was lying down, his face covered in blood.
He held a sword, but he could not swing it even once, and had to be struck five times until he lost consciousness.
‘Was it a little excessive?’
Well, it’ll be okay.
This is Count Eschik’s family, so if you look closely, you’ll find a priest or two.
Your nose won’t collapse completely or you won’t become disabled.
“I didn’t kill him. It won’t be a serious injury and you’ll wake up in an hour or two. Normally, we would have to follow our school’s procedures for threatening a saint…… “It would be impossible to treat the Marquis, a ‘great nobleman,’ equally as others.”
I spoke quietly, and Sirien smiled.
“It’s just a ‘minor friction.’ “My driver doesn’t seem to have any injuries, so I guess we can just leave this incident as is.”
“If it’s okay with you.”
“Thank you for your hard work, my knight.”
My saintess scratched the insides of her marquis with an expression of the world’s mercy.
Even in times like this, we got along really well.
The Marquis has no bodyguard, and I can arm myself at any time.
Sirien’s divinity surrounded the Marquis’ body. Even though she didn’t touch her body, it must have felt like a knife was pushed into the end of her neck.
In reality, Sirien could have killed the Marquis right now.
I just don’t do it because it’s difficult to handle the work.
“The Marquis should also pay attention to the guard. “If you wish, I am willing to send a guardian of this church to teach you.”
“Four years… ….”
“Ah, I understand that the Marquis doesn’t want to get involved in unnecessary trouble with us. “You probably don’t have a very honorable position.”
I didn’t want to see him because he seemed relaxed throughout the conversation, but seeing his face distorted like a demon made me feel at ease.
Well, you can’t actually lay a finger on the Marquis.
Whatever the exact reason, he is a great nobleman with the title of marquis, and we only run a small religious order.
There was a difference between the Marquis’s guard getting hurt after a ‘minor friction’ and the Marquis getting hurt.
Sirien also soon achieved divinity again.
“You will regret it. Certainly. “I will definitely tear you limbs from limb and throw them into the streets.”
“Oh my, it seems like the teacher who taught us dignity is also guilty. Isn’t it definitely a serious crime? “You must punish him.”
The Marquis’ words did not continue.
This was because someone came in through the closed door of the reception room.
The identity of the person who came in was Dersian.
“Are you okay, you two?”
I thought he would be responding to the mourners for a while, but he seemed to have rushed over as soon as he heard the news.
I was so anxious that I was breathing heavily.

By the way, there are two of you.
Dersian’s reaction was interesting.
It is self-evident that we can choose between the two. Did they worry about us first, as if it was natural?
“Are you hurt anywhere? “I have called a priest, so he should be coming now.”
“We are okay. However, the Marquis’s guard is injured, so please treat only him.”
“The Marquis’s escort…… “Umm.”
Dersian’s eyes looked around the living room.
I also checked where he was looking.
The Marquis was sitting with a seething expression, and his bodyguard was sprawled out on the floor.
The problem was that the sword was lying near the guard’s hand.
I wiped the blood from Der Cian’s fist in front of him as if showing off.
It was proof that I did not use a weapon.
However, since the Marquis was not touched in the slightest, the situation will unfold naturally.
Dercian’s eyes turned to the Marquis. It wasn’t a very polite look.
Although the words spoken were kind, the tone was clearly close to interrogation.
“Marquis. Could you please explain? It seems to me that the Marquis’s guard drew his sword first.”
“My escort was just excited. I…… “If you return to the territory, I will punish you severely.”
“That’s right. “We don’t have anything to say.”
“I understand. First of all, let’s get out of this place. “We will provide treatment for the escort.”
Thank goodness.
A lot of the anger was drained from Sirien’s voice.
It seemed like my stomach felt refreshed.
If he continues to be angry, I have to let him go.
“No. “There is no need for treatment, so please just carry my driver to the carriage.”
“Yes. Well then, the Marquis says he will head back. “Take us politely to the outside of the territory.”
Even though the Marquis did not say he would leave, there was talk of taking him outside the territory.
It was a de facto order to congratulate guests. The Marquis seemed to have noticed, too, and closed his eyes tightly to swallow his emotions.
After the Marquis left, Sirien was the first to offer her words of apology.
“I’m sorry, I made something bad happen at a time like this.”
“What does the saint have to be sorry for? Rather, I am sorry for causing you to experience something unpleasant in our compound.”
“Oh, we broke that chair…… “
“Don’t worry. You two are already my benefactors. The Count Eshik never treats his benefactors harshly. Of course, I don’t forget my grudges either.”
Dersian is glaring at the hallway where the Marquis left.
It is a cat that is not afraid even of the Grand Duke of Ilencia. There was no way that guy would bend to someone like the Marquis of Eloran.
Sure enough, Dersian made an unexpected suggestion.
“If you two wish, I will file a formal complaint.”
“It’s okay. “We have decided to leave it to the public, so Count So will also pass it on this time.”
“…… Yes, if the saint says so. But I won’t forget this.”
“Thank you.”
I couldn’t be more reassured by that stubborn and firm personality becoming my ally.
To be honest, let alone the crown prince or the golden ball, I knew that he would make a life-or-death decision with the Sword Saint.
The crown prince is quick to discern between interests and interests.
As the male protagonist of a female-oriented romance drama, he only asked the female lead in an incomprehensible way, and there was ample room for negotiation in areas where the female lead’s wishes were not mixed in.
In the original work, the relationship breakdown was also Ellis’ problem, so you just have to be careful about that part.
The golden ball of Harmenia is…… Well. I’m not sure because he has such an unusual personality.
As long as that guy doesn’t fall in love with her mistress, she won’t be able to do anything.
He is a very curious guy, so this guy seems like an opportunity to take advantage of being a possessed person.
However, he was not as confident as Der Cian.
No matter what this guy said, I didn’t think he would be on our side.
What I vaguely planned was not to send Isha away, but to take action myself and nip her in the bud.
If I hadn’t met him by chance in the northern mountains, I would have been looking for an opportunity to assassinate him at some point.
However, the first to become our ally was Der Cian, and he was actively protecting us.
The world really was something I didn’t know even if I knew it.
Sirien smiled.
“We also received help this time. Is there anything you want in return?”
“It’s a repayment. “It was something I had to do as a member of the family.”
“Is that so? Still, Count So said he hasn’t forgotten this incident, so let’s make sure we don’t forget either. “I, too, am certain about my support.”
