“ha… … .”
She let out a small sigh and closed her eyes as if to put away her thoughts.
The next day, Sofia visited the first music room.
A social church hosted by the 2nd Princess Lunia.
The music room was full of children from the imperial family.
“long time no see. Miss Sophia.”
Runia approached Sophia and greeted her.
Sophia calmly bowed her head.
“Yes, long time no see. Senior Lunia.”
“I heard about Kayneth. I must be really proud.”
Will it be different? The praise for Keynes was unavoidable.
As Sophia, it was worth getting tired of, but her younger brother’s praise always made her feel good.
A smile that flows out of nowhere. At that, Runia burst into laughter.
“As expected, Miss Sophia is the ‘sister’.”
While chatting like that, while asking each other about their current situation.
“As for me, I’m rooting for Ryard.”
“yes? what is that… … .”
“You haven’t heard about the engagement yet?”
“ah… … .”
Sophia realized what Lunia was talking about.
“Lyard obviously likes you. If they hear of an engagement, they will immediately return to the island and accept it.”
Sofia had already guessed that part. It’s just that he didn’t care about dating because of the situation with the church.
Runia gave a warm smile.
“The imperial family made a decision to prioritize the feelings between the parties. If you want to share the future with Ryard… … I will take good care of that child. I am still an immature child.”
“About that… … I will think carefully and make a decision.”
“Of course. Then, I hope you have a good day today.”
Seeing her back as she left her seat, Sophia let out a small sigh.
Were you looking for an opportunity? Soon, numerous female students approached Sofia.
‘… … Is it better than the previous life?’
Eyes that hold favor.
At the social gatherings and tea parties I attended in my previous life, I felt nothing but ridicule and jealousy. I must say I was literally sitting on a cushion of thorns.
Of course, considering that their current crush came from Kayneth, I felt proud but also a bit bitter.
A hero of the Empire who continues to win victories at the 13th Northern Border Fortress.
‘I think I’ll be interested too.’
Sophia had various conversations about Kenneth.
At the same time, the topic changed to the remarks of a female student who seemed to be interested in swordsmanship.
About 1-2 hours passed like that.
Sofia moved to the beverage corner to catch her breath.
That moment.
Tumble.
“We talked for quite some time… … .”
Rubelis approaches Sophia.
“What were you talking about?”
“just… … Stories about Keynes and swordsmanship?”
When Rubelis heard the name ‘Kaynes’, he nodded his head in agreement.
“… … Certainly, Keynes’ performance this time was to the extent that I was afraid.”
“Is there anything that Rubelis is afraid of?”
“After reaching the 5th circle at the age of only 14, I defeated that red wolf. There’s nothing strange about calling it a monster.”
It’s definitely what he said. If you look at it through the eyes of others, Keynes is truly an unreasonable being.
Rubelis laughed and took a sip of the grape drink.
“Oops, Rubelis-kun snatched the player first. It’s been a while? Miss Sophia.”
A handsome boy with green hair and golden eyes. Pelliel H Ward stood next to Rubelis and smiled happily.
Sophia smiled at him and nodded her head.
“Yes, it’s only four days… … It’s been a while. Mr. Pelliel.”
As Pelliel joined the conversation, Rubelis clicked his tongue slightly.
However, Pelliel had no choice but to be impatient in many ways. Not to mention Ryard and Sofia’s engagement rumors, and he didn’t even have a family to inherit.
‘There’s no way the Spey One family will happen right away. Then, the possibility of me getting engaged to Miss Sophia, the third daughter of the Speyone family… … It should be considered that there are almost none.’
Engagement of a second son and a third daughter with no possibility of inheriting the family?
Surely, Marira was ridiculed by many people. No, there’s no way the Spey One family would allow it before that.
If so, he would have no choice but to watch Ryard and Sophia’s engagement.
‘If I had been born as the eldest son like Mr. Rubelis… … .’
Pelliel’s stomach burned with impatience while talking to Sophia.
Baron given by Ryard… … No, if you do well, you can even get the title of baron.
However, how would he compare himself to Viscount Rubelis and future Marquis Ryard?
As Pelliel thought about that, he looked bitterly at Sophia’s back as the social gathering ended and she left the first music room.
Chapter 118
118. 13th Northern Border Fortress (5)
Sophia talked to numerous female students over the course of a few days and expanded her network.
The children of the aristocratic families stared at him with disdain.
As the imperial faction grew stronger from Keynes, the gossiping about Sophia increased.
But that’s only true for the aristocrats. The children of the imperial faction surrounded Sofia as if they had been distant from each other since when.
and… … Finally, news about the second prince, Rival E Labadian, who was supported by the aristocrats, reached the system.
The aristocratic students, who were expecting news of the victory, read the newspaper and were shocked. The Imperial Army, led by Ribal, suffered a crushing defeat from the 50,000 allied forces.
“Ah, lady.”
A young maid employed by the Duke of Crantes. Even as she told Rosen the news about Rebal, she kept a close eye on him.
Rosen quietly closed his eyes.
“… … In the case of Her Highness Rival, there’s nothing you can do about it. Because the opponent was the opponent.”
“but… … .”
Rosen nodded at the look of the maid who seemed to be trying to say something.
“Yes, Highness Lyard made a great achievement unlike His Highness Reval. Of course, the master of that feat is not His Highness Ryard.”
Rosen tapped the top of the desk with his finger.
“It was possible because Viscount Ardennes was with us. Defeating Earl Jurumus, who is called the Red Wolf, and stopping an army of 50,000 in the forest… … Because he did it all.”
Rosen took a deep breath and laughed.
“In addition, this time we took back the 13th Northern Border Fortress. He recaptured the fort that the allied forces had taken in five days, in just a few hours. It is to the point of admiration in the eyes of His Highness Lyard for discovering such a talented person.”
“that… … .”
The maid hesitated at Rosen’s story, then shut her mouth. No matter what I say, the situation will not change.
and that time.
In all parts of the empire, heroic tales made with the theme of Keynes spread through bards.
A story about a boy who was criticized for being incompetent and becomes a hero and marries a beautiful princess. Except for the story of marrying a princess, most of them were based on facts.
And the children who heard the story talked about Spey One’s incompetent child as if they were longing for it.
Udang-tang-tang!
“ha… … . ha… … . ha… … . Nonsense. Why, why is that guy-! aaagh!”
Serene, who had been self-sufficient in the SpayWon family, screamed whenever she heard the news of Kayneth’s victory, overturning the furniture in her bedroom, and throwing accessories, dresses, and other items onto the floor.
She was so riotous, but she immediately fell out! sat down on the floor
“Ah, lady… … ?”
The maid’s voice came from the direction of the door.
Celine picked up a glass that rolled across the floor and threw it at her.
f*ck!
“Turn off… … .”
“go away! Get out of here right now!”
Covering her head, the maid hurried out of the bedroom. Also, you might throw something.
As blood ran down her head, she burst into tears.
A maid passing by found it, and the incident spread widely within the family.
The next day, Servan, the first butler, warned Serene about her violent behavior.
“It doesn’t matter if you overturn furniture, tear up dresses, or throw away art and accessories. About that, I’ll instruct the maids to sort it out. but… … I hope you will refrain from doing anything that hurts the employees.”
“What’s the matter with that maid… … ! There are plenty of substitutes on the streets!”
Despite Serene’s screaming cry, Servan’s eyebrows did not twitch. Rather, he narrowed his eyes and glared at her.
“This is the instruction of the head of the household. If you hurt the employee like this time, Lady Serene will have to live in the second annex.”
“what? what now… … .”
“This is the will of the head of the household that there is no second chance.”
Servan strongly uttered the word ‘Gaju’.
At that, Serene bit her lip and shook her head! turned away His face was contorted with anger, but he couldn’t be kicked out of the second annex like this.
A place where family parasites live. You have to enter that place yourself!
As for her, she had to show acceptance of Servan’s warning.
“I ask you to be careful from now on. Then, I’m just… … .”
Serene glared fiercely at Servan’s back as he left the bedroom.
“… … sh*t! Sophia, who was said to be dead, won’t that X suddenly come back to life, Keynes, that parasite-like guy is now a battlefield hero?”
My head was about to explode with anger and stress.
But no matter how angry or irritated she was, there was nothing she could do.
Meanwhile, Grans let out a small sigh at Celine’s behavior of messing up the bedroom every day.
Soon after, he seriously contemplated whether to put her in the second annex.
“It’s not even worth using anymore… … . First of all, cut off all support given to Serin.”
“then… … .”
“The money I was given every month as pocket money was halved… … No, reduce it to 1/10.”
“All right.”
Grans pressed her temples with her fingers.
And I looked at the report about Keynes that I had been handed over the other day.
“I reached the 5th circle before I was 15… … . Even the red wolf was taken care of, so the greatest genius ever of the Spey One family was born.”
“It has also been confirmed that the 13th Northern Border Fortress has repelled several Allied attacks.”
At Servan’s report, Grans smiled. It felt like the stress she had received from Serene had disappeared for a moment.
“I was a bastard. I never thought I would have been crouching down in the second annex without anyone knowing. Sophia would be enough for her blood relationship with the royal family. And the next head of the spay one too… … I think Kaynes would be more suitable than Ellen.”
“that… … .”
Servan couldn’t answer carelessly.
Eren, the eldest son and raised as an heir. Or is it the youngest son, Keynes, who is currently making a name for himself with his ridiculous talent?
In Eren’s case, he was put on probation for a while due to the Rose family incident, but now it seems that he is faithful to his duties in order to gain Grans’ trust again.
“Among the children, in terms of ability, Kayneth is the best… … . First of all, I’ll have to prepare the second-class nameplate.”
The second-class nameplate is a nameplate given directly by the religious leader to the officers.
As an apostle, Granth, I can only make recommendations. In order to be promoted from class 3 to class 2, the approval of the leader was essential. Of course, if it was recommended by an apostle level, it would generally be approved up to level 2.
“Since he has both achievements and abilities, there shouldn’t be any problems with Kayneth’s promotion.”
Servan nodded at Grans’ remark.
From noble mtl dot com
In Eren’s case, he had to work hard to rebuild the trust he had once lost, but in Kayneth’s case, he had a bowl as the next head of the SpayWon family as he repeated his victories.
“Even if we think about the issue of succession slowly… … . I hope the engagement will go well somehow.”
“With the Sephiroth family… … .”
“I can’t come back and talk about it again. Come to think of it, I heard that he’s been getting along well with the second daughter of Count Wilt since last year… … .”
It was difficult for the SpayWon family to expect anything from the Wilt family. What can you get from the Wilt family, which runs a medium-sized business?
Rather, the Wilt family might benefit from the SpayWon family.
Besides, since the Ardennes family is also involved… … .
“Kaynes will become the golden egg of Count Wilt.”
To the Wilt family, Kayneth was literally the first-class son-in-law.
Even as Grans, I thought it was better than the Rose family, but it was hard to let go of the awkwardness.
Does it feel like a parasite sticking to you?
“Hmm, come to think of it, the Ardennes Corporation loaned out 1 million gold coins, right?”
“yes.”
“… … It would be all right if I raised the limit a little.”
“yes? but… … .”
When Servan was about to say something, Grans turned her head and met his eyes.
“There won’t be any big problems if we use Ardennes as collateral, right?”
“… … Yes that’s right.”
“First, raise the limit to 1.3 million gold coins.”
1.3 million gold coins.
