Episode. 27 Conversation (1)
Tok, tok-
There was a knock on the table.
“… … .”
“… … .”
I wish I could say something.
The head of the house was unusually silent.
If you look closely, it seems like you’re angry or conflicted with something.
I sat in front of him and waited patiently.
“Since when?”
That was the first word.
What is it and when was it? I was speechless at the unexpected question.
The family head asked again if he knew my feelings.
“When did you start believing in God?”
It was a calm tone, as if he had already heard everything about Horgyo through Leo or Balak.
“Before Gide went to slay the dragon, God’s miracle came to me. From then on, I started to change.”
It’s a tragedy when seen up close, and a comedy when seen from afar.
At that time, everything was embarrassing and confusing, but it’s funny to think about it now.
I was at a loss as to whether I should do this or that.
“after… … . God.”
The housekeeper frowned and murmured.
The real barrage of questions began after that.
“What did he do to you?”
“Why did you choose to be a saint?”
“What the hell is God doing?”
He asks, and I answer.
Communication is like a one-way street.
The conversation between the men who don’t talk much was awkward like this.
“Hor is the only god.”
He seemed indifferent, yet answered each and every question that came rushing in.
In fact, most of them were lies.
Wasn’t the premise of the question wrong in the first place?
Funny enough, I am the god of this world.
Even as I answered with my head rolling, I couldn’t hide my surprise.
It was because of the fact that the head of household, whom I thought would only close his ears, was listening to my story.
The family head’s eyes never left me.
It meant that he was only focusing on me.
“Is God stronger than this father?”
Curiosity and a sense of well-being arose in the gaze of the family head.
From noble mtl dot com
The momentum that blossomed with him rang in the office.
coo goo-
The window shuddered, and the tea cup cracked.
This was just the momentum that flowed out of my unconscious.
He was also a monstrous nobleman.
Knowing that this would happen, he did not give a revelation to the family head.
It would have been fortunate if I didn’t throw a sword at all.
It only blows away precious faith.
“God is not someone who can be judged by such worldly words.”
“One excuse is good.”
Contrary to the snoring face, the terrifying momentum did not diminish.
This isn’t even a threat.
It was comfortable to think of it as just a pressure interview.
I raised some of my faith to the surface.
“Hoo.”
Faith ran through the body.
A haze-like light shone in the place where faith had passed.
Only then did the pressure from the family head subside.
“Is that your power or the power of God?”
“This is my strength from God.”
“Stop playing with words like that.”
cooong-
The momentum of the housekeeper swayed more fiercely.
Looking at his expression, it seemed that he had no intention of gaining momentum easily.
sh*t.
as a son Saying that the vigilance will be taken.
As befits the number one man with a sword, he was ignorant.
“It’s the power of God, if you have to say it.”
“Are you saying that in the end, everything is not yours?”
“The power God gave me. Mine or whose?”
“How does Battenberg open his hands to others?”
He said he was a saint, but I heard a muttering that he had become a pathetic servant who regarded what he received from others as his own.
“Even in the relationship between the ruler and the god, if one’s heart is changed, everything built up disappears. What do you think the relationship between God and servant will be like?”
“Are you saying that my strength is like a sandcastle?”
This, too, is wrong from the start.
I am a god, what is the relationship between a god and a servant? It was a question not worth answering.
Why the hell are you asking this?
I vaguely knew the answer.
The head of household has already made up his mind.
with me.
“Even if there are two sides of the sky, I will follow God, and God will repay that heart.”
It created a spirit of mixed faith.
I shouted with my whole body that my resolution was this much.
“I want faith to seep across the continent. This is God’s will and this is my will.”
“under. It is the whole continent.”
he closed his eyes
After a while, a light of resignation flashed in the corners of his eyes.
“If that’s your choice, I won’t stop you.”
Not yet.
The real story hasn’t come out yet.
I waited for an afterword.
“I will also make my own choices.”
Took… … .
The fingers tapping the table stopped.
“If you follow God, not the sword, I will not treat you as a Battenberg. You are no longer my child from now on.”
firm voice.
But why?
Even as he spat out the words that he would not treat him as a son, his eyes mixed with resignation showed subtle anticipation.
“Leave this place with those who follow you.”
I, who was not a son from the start, is like a third party.
So I was able to look at Ludwig objectively.
“It means to spread your faith in the whole world according to your will.”
“… … .”
He had expectations for ‘Richard’.
To the son of a troublemaker who does not inherit the family business of swords and brings religion to the fore.
The previous questions did not stem from an interest in religion.
All Ludwig was interested in was the path his son wanted to walk.
“Let the continent seethe with more influence than Battenberg. Then we, Battenberg, will accept your religion.”
I will acknowledge the will and path you have chosen, but I will not fully support you.
I’ll see how far I can go.
That was Ludwig’s decision towards his son.
The turtle pierced.
I held on to it.
“I will not forget those words.”
He accepted the provocation to increase his power and power to the point of subduing him.
Freedom of religion was already over the water.
“Are you sorry?”
The housekeeper spat out.
“Everything deserves it. If you want to wield the famous swords of Battenberg, you must first be qualified.”
“Qualifications are sufficient under the name of God, and famous swords have their own will.”
“I am asking about Horgyo and your qualifications as its representative, and my will is above the will of the sword.”
The confidence I felt from the man in front of me was not something that could be exchanged for words.
The decision made by the king of Battenberg was too firm.
It’s a pity, but it was unavoidable.
It was a famous sword that was widely spread in this house, but it was impossible to touch it without the permission of the landlord.
With Battenberg’s power, it would only be a matter of time before it devours the North Continent.
“Don’t even think about cheating. It is unacceptable for a knight bearing the coat of arms of Battenberg to serve an unknown god.”
It seems that the dissatisfaction has been revealed.
The old man, who had become a stranger now, scratched his insides.
Then I should do it the same way I treat others.
In fact, it was a million times easier.
“Then, let’s make one deal.”
The family head nodded as if to say something.
“The badge of Battenberg hung in the main palace. I will borrow it just once.”
◈ ◈ ◈
The content of the transaction was simple.
I’ll reap a little of the darkness that has descended on this place through the veil, so please give me a very, very small reward.
After repeated persuasion, Gaju accepted the offer.
“It’s not that my heart is bad… … I mean, it’s really tight.”
Only nothing, nothing, nothing… … .
The nobleman, whose head was full of martial arts, hoped that the vassals of Battenberg would overcome the evil spirits on their own.
If it were him, he could release his momentum and block the pressure of darkness, but the appearance of watching still was exactly like that.
“I don’t know about knights, but how do servants and servants overcome it?”
It’s not just about willpower and ambition.
So what did I even do when I said I didn’t know me?
It is impossible to ignore those who yearn for the light.
That’s why you can’t be an outsider.
You should have an open mind.
“young master!”
On my way back to my room, I ran into Gide.
No, he was waiting for me.
“Did you talk well with the head of household?”
It seemed that he was quite worried about the profuse sweating.
okay.
Now it was this old man who had to be persuaded.
“I got kicked out.”
“this! You’re not angry yet… … .”
“It’s not like that. I was kicked out of the house.”
pop.
Gide stopped.
He looked questionable, as if he didn’t understand what he meant.
“Did you dig it from the family register?”
“Heh, heh… … .”
He gasps for breath and is about to collapse from a heart attack.
I dragged him into the room.
“It would have been better.”
It was a family that decided that if things went wrong, they would leave anyway.
Talents from Battenberg were coveted, but it was only a difference in order anyway.
‘Cause someday I’ll have it all
Rather, it was a good thing that he accepted even the promise of the family head.
‘As long as the conditions are met, Ludwig will serve God too.’
We Battenbergs accept your religion-
The head of the household was also included in these words.
He said he would do so with his own mouth, so even if he died soon, he would keep his words.
Things have gone a little way back, but the rewards will be sweet.
I decided to think good.
“Say it again. Did the head of the family really kick out the young master?”
But our butler is different.
“Joke, you must be kidding. Our young master is a strong candidate for the successor in the future… … .”
“Shh.”
What is the importance of successors?
What I see is not this little house, but the whole world.
Only one North Continent can’t withstand the demonic offensive.
Of course, even one southern continent is absurdly insufficient.
On such a topic, the samurai and the magician were busy gnashing their teeth at each other.
What I need to do is to unite the two continents that are constantly bickering.
That link was religion.
“Gide. do you believe in god You must have heard everything from Aaron.”
“Yes, yes?”
I looked at Gide, who blinked at the sudden sound.
“Do you think I am crazy?”
“To be honest, when I first heard about Horgyo… … .”
puch-
I laughed.
“Then what about now?”
“At least you don’t look crazy. Otherwise, all of the 3rd Knights would be crazy.”
“yes. Because they believe in God too.”
That’s why you need power.
Because the cry of many is stronger than the cry of one.
“Gidmeier. What are you going to do?”
“That’s right, I’ll go anywhere if I’m with you. one… … .”
I saw an old man making a porridge.
It seems that everything is so sudden that I can’t understand it.
“Think easy.”
“How can this be taken lightly?”
“Then stay here.”
What I wanted was a colleague who would share my will, not a butler who would accompany me with respect for ‘Richard’.
I also felt the need to point it out here.
“I’m no longer the nerd you knew.”
“… … .”
“You are also unfamiliar. It’s not that I’ve changed, it’s that I’ve become like a different person.”
Gide is the only person who has attached affection to ‘Richard’.
He even risked his life to go to extract the dragon’s heart, so there is no doubt about his heart.
But that was for ‘Richard’.
The affection reflected by the old man in front of me was not for me, but for ‘Richard’.
From noble mtl dot com
While the 3rd Knights and Aaron were looking at me who had become ‘Richard’, Gide was only looking at ‘Richard’.
There was nothing so embarrassing for me.
… … I wanted to tell you everything if I could.
That I really am a completely different person than Richard.
However, there was no way I could say such a thing.
“If you want to follow me, cut off the old friendship. Think of it as serving a new lord.”
So I have no choice but to talk nonsense like this.
Very self-satisfied, nonsense to avoid remorse.
“young master… … .”
I turned my head.
It was hard to face the eyes of the wounded old man.
Like the head of household, and Gide.
I was a little angry that he didn’t see me as myself.
