Episode 113 – Rude guy.
113. Rude guy.
“······.”
Light returned to Leon’s eyes as he stood blankly. I came to my senses.
Looking straight ahead…
There were blood stains all around, and a scene unfolded where a priest and a doctor were clinging to Prua, who was lying on the floor.
“······.”
He looked down at the sword he was holding. Warm fresh blood was flowing along the blade. The taste of his remaining touch tingled.
“Wow.”
Leon placed his chin on his forehead.
Did I have an accident? Did you cut up Prince Hellbridge? Are you screwed?
Just as his vision was about to turn dark, someone came up next to him. It was Aqua.
“Leon, your skills are outstanding. Overcoming the difference in level. “Particularly the last one, it seemed like I had crossed a wall for a moment.”
“Is that so…?”
At those words, Leon quickly remembered what happened just now.
‘I guess there were a lot of points.’
Perhaps because he was swinging the sword without losing his mind, he couldn’t remember it clearly.
Did he then enter a trance? That was absolutely not the case.
It was correct to say that it just turned around. Madness had eaten away at my brain.
First, Leon tried to remember as much as he could before the first hint of enlightenment disappeared.
‘Has the last sword… Passed docility?’
I think so. Even from my vague memory, it was clear that it was a leap forward in speed. Otherwise, Prua wouldn’t have been harmed.
‘What did you do?’
Of course, the method is not in English.
Leon scratched his head in frustration. He wanted to smoke one at the beginning of the year.
Aqua, who was watching him, said.
“It comes to mind well, doesn’t it?”
“Yes.”
“Then don’t be too hasty. There is nothing to suffer. “It happens often to warriors.”
“Hmm.”
Aqua smiled kindly.
“The fact that it has been overcome is important. Once you’ve stepped foot on the other side, the next will be soon. “It’s something worth celebrating.”
“······Thank you for the advice.”
True to his words, Leon decided to put his mind at ease.
There are problems for which you cannot come up with a solution even if you sit still and think about it for a hundred days. In times like this, if you put it aside in your head and spend some time with it, enlightenment will come on its own.
“Brother, are you okay?”
Leon approached Prua. After receiving treatment, his complexion returned to its original state. Even the externally visible injuries were sutured cleanly.
“I’m really sorry about this.”
Prua smiled sheepishly and waved his hand.
“It’s okay. ······Really. I often got injuries like this when sparring with my older brothers. “It’s embarrassing that an upper-level expert got beaten up by a middle-level expert in the first place.”
Actually, that is true.
Not only did Leon not use lethal force, but the situation itself, where a middle-level expert injured an advanced expert due to his inability to ‘control his strength’, was absurd.
“······.”
“······.”
Leon was silent, unable to find anything to say. If I said that, I would have apologized even more. Wouldn’t that just dent Prua’s pride?
—hahahaha!
Leon and Prua made eye contact for a moment and laughed heartily. It was the laughter of men.
Aqua, who was laughing together, tapped Leon on the shoulder and said.
“I want to compete with my younger brother right now… But I think it would be best to leave it at this for today. “It would be excessive to proceed further here.”
“That is correct.”
The atmosphere was definitely chaotic.
“I’ll find the time soon.”
“I will be waiting.”
“Oh, and.”
“Please tell me.”
Aqua paused for a moment and then she spoke.
“Take care of Celia. “I’m a child who buries it deep rather than shakes it off.”
Leon paused for a moment and then nodded.
“I will keep this in mind.”
Aqua waved her hand.
“I won’t be seeing you off.”
“Go in, ow.”
“See you again!”
“Yes. Let’s go, brothers.”
After greeting Leon, he turned around and left the mansion.
Jerbuk- Jerbuk-
It feels light against the soles of your feet.
A gloomy sky filled with gray clouds. It won’t rain, but I don’t think we’ll see the sun today.
‘If possible, it would be nice if the sun rises a little tomorrow.’
The next day is the full moon.
After a sudden thought, Leon caressed the sword soldier with a faint heat remaining. In his other hand, he was holding a piece of tobacco in his mouth and lighting a spark.
After Leon left the entrance of the mansion, he headed towards Asonia Street and walked down the main street.

It had been several minutes since we started walking like that.
Leon sensed a large presence and stopped in his tracks.
The figure quickly got closer and soon jumped out in front of me.
Hey!
Kurrr······.
The black carriage ran wildly and stopped, blocking Leon’s path.
“······.”
The driver’s face, with a sword on his back, had no expression.
Leon frowned and glared at his coachman.
“What is this doing?”
“······.”
The coachman ignored it. Just straining his eyes and looking at Leon.
The moment when Leon is about to laugh.
Rattle-.
The carriage door opened, revealing the human image of a man.
“You’ve been busy since morning. “Thanks to you, I was in vain.”
A very arrogant tone. The other person didn’t even show his face. I just waved my hands, melting into the darkness inside the cart.
“Come in. “Let’s talk inside.”
“······.”
Seueueueup-
Leon took a deep breath of tobacco. The embers that hung from the beginning of the year grew and the tobacco field burned down in an instant.
After spitting out the butt, Leon opened his mouth. Smoke rose from between his lips and covered his face.
“······Come down and say it yourself.”
Leon couldn’t help but added.
“Rude guy.”
* · * *
“Puhahahahaha!”
Laughter spread from inside.
Leon sighed when he heard that.
That was not a man’s laugh. It was not pretentious or arrogant. It’s something you make up to pretend to be manly. It was so compared to the laughter of the Hellbridge brothers earlier.
“Stop laughing. “It’s hard to listen to.”
The laughter suddenly stopped at Leon’s words.
Raul Crusif, the owner of the black carriage, spoke.
“You’ve grown a lot, Leon. “I know you’ll treat this guy like that.”
Leon roughly brushed his hair.
‘Ah, this guy… I don’t like him more and more.’
Leon’s favorability towards Raoul had been declining steeply since yesterday’s meal.
From the beginning, my image of him was bad even before I met him.
When looking back at the memories of the original owner of this body, it was clearly revealed that Raoul was an asshole. I could tell right away even with my memory full of holes. Didn’t Lehman also give him a harsh evaluation?
And as I watched him meet in person yesterday, my dislike for him grew even more.
Sweet-
Raoul moved his body slightly and escaped the darkness. Revealing his face, he looked at Leon with torn eyes and pursed his lips.
Leon, who didn’t want to hear him babble, struck the player.
“Shut up. “Shut up and listen.”
“······.”
“It’s my brother. This is absurd. Brother Lehman was a man who had upright beliefs in his heart and knew manners and ethics. He is a man who deserves respect. “I have no hesitation in calling such a man ‘brother’.”
Leon continued speaking without hesitation.
“What about you, on the other hand? The tone of voice, attitude, and behavior you have shown so far. Is this correct? Do you still want to be treated like an older brother? It’s gotten worse than before, and it hasn’t gotten any better. That’s why Brother Lehman is a brother, and you are just a rude guy.”
I could feel Raoul’s servants and guards widening their eyes at that verbal abuse.
But the more Leon talked, the more heated he became.
“Ugly guy. What is this doing in the middle of the street in District 2? Look at the eyes focused on those around you. You are ruining the reputation of the Crusiv family. It’s not noble at all, and it’s not manly at all. Did you think I would be scared if you pulled the carriage and hit me like that? Have you tried to suppress the momentum in your own way?”
As he was spitting out words, he suddenly pointed to one side of the carriage.
“You bastard, why do you put your hand on your sword? Do you really want to die? Can’t you recognize who you are in front of right now? “I am the third prince of the family you belong to, you f*cking idiot…”
Puhwaaa!
A horrifying murderous force exploded and enveloped the carriage. Raoul quickly raised his hand to stop someone.
“Don’t act rashly. “Why are you behaving so carelessly?”
“I’m sorry.”
My voice was struggling under the weight of life.
Leon took out another cigarette and took a deep breath, breathing white smoke instead of air.
“Raul, listen carefully. “Let me just say it right now.”
The voice was low, suppressing anger.
“I am not interested in being the successor at all. So, don’t even think about taking out what’s in that bucket. What I’m saying is don’t scrape it and make it crumble. “As long as you don’t touch me for no reason, I will stay still.”
“······.”
“And if you really want to talk to me, come politely.”
Leon muttered as if he was chewing, stepped on the cheonryeongbo and walked towards the carriage.
Sigh!
And he hit the coachman on the head, who was bulging out his eyes. The coachman could not react and was hit and fell backwards.
“You are a chew, ignoring me, ignoring it, and opening it like your eyes. Stretching also has to be done while looking at the other person. Are you stretching it towards me? Inside, that guy is even holding a knife. “It’s just going crazy.”
Tap!
Leon threw the butt hard at the carriage. A horse flinched after being hit by hot sparks.
“Anyway, you idiots…”
He put his hands in his pockets and left.
— ······.
For a while, there was only silence surrounding the carriage, as if a storm had passed.
