171. The princess of the north enters the school. (4)
A deep dawn covered with bleak darkness.
Zeke, who was lying on the bed and sleeping, opened his eyes.
He immediately raised his upper body and stared into the dark empty space.
“Who are you?”
An unexpected attack at dawn when everyone was asleep.
Perhaps it was the remnants of Lost Hope, those sent by the imperial faction with a grudge against Ilios, and countless others, so they couldn’t be specific.
The assassin’s actions were covert, but Zeke was already awake from the moment he set foot in Joheiden’s mansion. However, he was deliberately pretending to be asleep as he went straight to his room.
No matter how much he tried to kill himself, he couldn’t escape the feeling of Zeke, who had almost regained his strength.
that buck-
that buck-
Opponent who reveals himself obediently as if he had no intention of hiding it at Zeke’s words.
Black eyes, black hair and a huge body.
she said with a smile.
“I feel good. Certainly, the Heilang Knights have the skills to struggle.”
“Heilang Knights? Is it the Duke of Ira?”
Sieg frowned, then immediately recalled the name of the knights belonging to the duchy of Ira in the north.
“hit. I came from the duchy of Ira.”
“Ha, I heard that the princess of the duchy of Ira is entering the academy… … . But I wondered what was going on because I couldn’t even pluck my nose on the expected date of admission… … .”
Zeke got up from the bed and glared at her with cold eyes.
“Awesome!”
Zeke released mana and pressed the assassin’s body.
But, to be honest, it must have been an unfamiliar pressure that she had never experienced before.
Even while gnashing his teeth, he did not kneel down and resisted in the end.
“Deliberately delaying the Gongnyeo’s admission… … . I’ll kill me before that. Is this what you think? The duchy of Ira is also rotten. At least the knights were pretty decent even with one screw missing… … ,”
“Aww!”
A trembling body. The veins of the whole body were protruding, resisting the body that was about to bend down.
“under… … . They promised not to be hostile towards me, but I don’t know who the promise was for.”
On that day, I did not want to see any more blood, so I took the hostage by taking a little trouble.
In the meantime, the Duke of Joheiden intervened and an amicable agreement was reached, bearing the loss on the Joheiden side. However, they would dig their own grave and even weave a coffin.
“I admit that I am a skilled assassin in my own way… … .”
Zeke is now able to freely hold even a sword.
Even if a truck like this hitman came, Zeke couldn’t feel any inspiration.
“Still, it was the right choice to come straight to me without targeting my surroundings. I would have been in a very terrible situation if I hadn’t. Then, are you prepared?”
In Zeke’s hand, there was a knife that flashed a blue sword.
“… … big ugh!! Oh no!!! That’s not what it is!!!!”
An assassin’s death roar that roars.
Zeke’s sword stopped right in front of her neck.
A drop of blood ran down his neck from a slight cut.
‘… … I’m glad I was blown away. Did you boil the firebox on the train? Why is your voice so loud? Anyway, that’s not it… … ?’
Sieg withdrew his sword and nodded his head.
“It’s not like that… … ?”
“… … First of all, sorry for being late.”
When the mana pressure was released, the first word that came out of the assassin’s mouth was an apology.
“The princess’s body is a little… … . No, it’s because I’m very weak. It was much later than planned. Let me formally apologize for that. His Excellency the Duke would say the same thing.”
“… … I came this morning, late at night, to say that. Do you want me to believe that?”
“No, that’s not it. I just wanted to have a conversation first… … . Normally, I have to stay close to Princess Gongnyeo at all times, so I couldn’t help it because she didn’t go to bed until late in the morning today!”
“… … .”
Zeke stared at his opponent.
Certainly, there was no stance of killing or attacking.
From the time I came here, I naturally assumed that he was an assassin because I could detect the weapons he had hidden on his body, but since the weapons didn’t seem to have been removed for a long time, it seemed like he just carried them around out of habit.
“… … Still, anyone who breaks in at dawn like this is considered an attacker.”
Zeke scratched his cheek in a slightly embarrassed voice and said.
“No, there was such an intention to check the skills of the person who will teach the princess, so there is no need to apologize. Because he used a mean trick against the Heilang Knights… … . But why the hell do you have these skills… … .”
“anyway. What does that mean? If it wasn’t today, you could have come tomorrow noon. Why don’t you dare tell me why this time has come.”
“The princess said she would visit you tomorrow.”
“ah. That damn saintess was stubborn again.”
Her eyes widened at Zeke’s words.
“… … How did you get that nickname… … . As expected, did you know our princess from before!”
“… … Yeah, hit that for now. Would you like a cup of tea first?”
As a result of looking at it in various ways, Zeke, who was sure that there was no hostility from her, asked.
“I would appreciate it if you would.”
Since he couldn’t call someone else during the night, Zeke made coffee himself and served it.
He reproduced the taste of the mixed coffee he enjoyed on Earth with his own recipe.
widely.
gulp. gulp.
She gulped down the hot, steaming coffee like cold water. Then, my eyes sparkled at the harmony of the sweetness and slightly bitter taste.
“Big-. this is really… … . Hot, sweet and delicious! Southern bastards! They were eating a lot of delicious food among themselves! Do you have another drink?”
“… … yes. Hmm, by the way, I haven’t heard about you yet.”
Zeke looked at her with slightly tired eyes and asked while pouring another cup of coffee.
“I am Karen, the maid who serves Princess Lily.”
“waiting woman?”
“It is.”
The appearance that anyone would think of as an escort for a saintess, and even the skillful movements.
Even with the students who learned Mana from Sieg, they could have a good fight, but Sieg was a little surprised that such a woman was a handmaid.
“… … Hmm, yes. Karen. What did you come to talk about?”
“First of all, the first thing I wanted to do was to see with my own eyes the swordsmanship instructor who would teach our princess. And the second came to ask about the class.”
“Please?”
Karen nodded. It was amazing how the trapezius muscle attached to her neck twitched every time.
“Our princess is very weak by birth. so… … .”
“Wait, sorry. Regarding class training, I will not receive a separate theory.”
Zeke cut off Karen.
The same story as most of the letters that come to him every day.
Stories such as asking for a little lower training intensity or a little convenience because my child is weak.
Of course, Joheiden and Justia were behind him, so he didn’t come to him directly, but all of them were angry at Zeke.
‘Tsk, did you just come here to talk about that? If you can’t stand it, you can leave.’
“… … Also, yes. ha, yes i get it. I guessed from the energy and attitude from a moment ago, but it can’t be helped.”
Fortunately, Karen was a communicative person.
At least he showed an understanding attitude when Zeke made a firm gesture about him.
“Everybody said my class was very hard and hellish. so… … . If Princess Ira doesn’t have confidence, she’ll meet me and go back… … .”
“… … what!!!”
Karen suddenly jumped up and her eyes twinkled.
“Did you say it was like hell? Did you say it was hard? Wouldn’t that be an exaggeration!?”
“… … Yes. Honestly, I don’t think it’s that hard by my standards, but students usually can’t move from their seats for about an hour after class ends.”
Zeke answered in a trembling voice.
“That’s it! That is what I would like to ask of you!”
Zeke shook his head, not understanding what the hell this woman was talking about all of a sudden.
“Our princess is kind, wise, great, and amazing like a saint, but… … ! Physically, you’re really weak, frail, and… … . Let’s be weak again. So, why don’t you roll a little harder to make your body stronger!”
“aha… … .”
Shik, a cruel smile crept across Zeke’s mouth.
This woman is a woman who knows something.
Zeke felt as if he had met someone with whom he could talk about his training theories after a long time.
“then… … . Would you like to hear a little bit about my training?”
“Oh oh!!”
… …
This and that.
Late in the morning, a lecture on Zeke’s training was held.
And an enthusiastic student who puts all the contents in his head with his eyes shining in front of him. Karen.
She was constantly admired throughout the class.
“Oh my gosh… … ! Such an ingenious way… … !”
“Huh! this, this… … . Hyuk, it’s a revolution!!!”
“exactly… … . If you do… … The process of shredding the muscle and attaching it again is forced… … . Ha, this is amazing! Ha, but it’s okay! The body’s range of motion… … !”
“Of course, it’s okay. That part goes like this… … !”
“Oh My God! It all cycles… … ! everything was connected… … !”
Who was the first person to know that the Earth is round?
Eventually, until morning, Karen, who was engaged in passionate discussions about the saintess’ training with Sieg, had become Sieg’s faithful follower before he knew it.
“… … Zeke Kleiman, this grace that brought me out of the swamp of ignorance. I won’t forget. And please take good care of our lady. Please roll hard!”
Karen was paying respect to him in a respectful manner.
“Um, don’t worry. Let’s fix that rotten state of mind properly.”
nod
Karen nodded with eyes filled with infinite trust.
“… … And to the North, I will make known your great training methods. Then even those who misunderstand you will change their minds.”
“I would like to ask you for that part too. It’s a no-brainer to come in the middle of the night like today. Didn’t you almost get cut?”
“… … Keugh. sorry. I don’t know such a saint of the training world, and I… … .”
“It happened. Your little girl will be worried. Let’s just go back.”
“yep!!! In the future, the North will become stronger thanks to Zeke Kleiman!”
Karen left Joheiden Mansion with two great achievements, the Saint Remodeling Project and the Northerner Physical Improvement Project.
And… … .
“Instructor… … ?”
“Well?”
Through the slightly open door, I could see Yuri Gilbert’s eyes.
It’s like there’s no light in the pupil for some reason.
“I heard the sound of talking with a woman called Doran Doran all night… … . who… … . Was it… … ?”
“… … I was shocked, but how… … . Oh no.”
“Who was it? Serena and Iriel were all asleep.”
“… … .”
Zeke desperately turned his head to Yuri’s grim smile.
