Sofia went back to her hometown during summer vacation this year and showed her face to her family.
For this reason, Grans only nodded with a short word, but did not bring up a special story.
And Phyllis, who was standing behind Grans, looked at Kayneth and Sofia siblings with complicated eyes.
She wanted to say hello to her brother and sister. But they never looked at her.
It was already out of her hands.
On the other hand, Se-Rin’s eyes shimmer to live.
I wanted to rip off the two siblings’ faces right now, but… … .
“Go in.”
At one word from Grans, the entire family had to quietly turn around.
The moment they entered the party, the attention of the nobles was focused on them.
Kayneth H Spayone, who was called the only flaw in the SpayWon family. He was reborn as a hero of the empire as he was elevated to the rank of count in this war and received a medal at the same time.
Now it should be called ‘Spey-One’s pride’ rather than ‘Spey-One’s fault’.
furthermore… … .
“Heh heh, Keynes Youngsik… … . No, I heard that the Count of Ardennes has reached the Fifth Circle.”
“What a blessing!”
“This might be able to surpass the Marquis of Mardenia and reach the level of the 7th Circle. Heh heh heh heh!”
“The talent that Count Ardennes has is more than enough!”
A state that only ancient heroes could reach.
Speaking of the 7th circle, the nobles burst into praise for Keynes.
“Besides, in the Harperos Plain this time, the red wolf… … .”
“The 13th Northern Border Fortress has also won a series of victories… … .”
At the continued praise, Grans smiled in satisfaction.
Keynes followed in his father’s footsteps and had to face numerous nobles.
Among them, a man who branded himself as incompetent. The meeting with the magic tower lord, Hervis T, the Marquis of Mardenia, was truly uncomfortable.
“Huh, the flow of mana is really beautiful. Obviously, when I was a baby, I didn’t even feel it as much as my fingernails… … .”
Kaynes used magic tools to hide 3 of the 8 circles formed in his heart.
If you completely erase the presence of mana, Gran will surely think it’s strange. Concerned about that, Kayneth paid a high price for the magic tool.
Thanks to this, Hervis, the owner of the Mage Tower, could not easily gauge Kayneth’s strength.
I only clapped after checking only the visible circle and mana amount.
‘It was good that I brought it as my sister said.’
Just before going down to his parents’ house during the summer vacation season, Kaynes gave Sofia the magic tool.
She was also concerned about the possibility that the large amount of mana held in her body would be captured by someone, including her swordsmanship and the fact that she signed a contract with Elim.
She had a hard time handling magic tools until she went down to her parents’ house, but now she stably uses magic tools and successfully deceives the owner of the magic tower.
“Lady Sophia also possesses truly mysterious mana. I would have thought that the siblings would all be born with mana cores. Next time you have a chance, please visit my lab. We will solve all your doubts.”
“Yes, I will visit you if I get a chance.”
“If I get a chance, I will visit.”
At the two people’s answers, Hervis smiled and started talking with Grannes. No, is it more like flattery than a conversation?
The huge amount of donations received from the Spey One family every year. Hervis tried to impress Grans so that the sum wouldn’t run out.
The time when Grans was surrounded by countless nobles.
Sophia grabbed Kayneth’s hand and left.
“You don’t have to go all the way to a place like that. Rather, you really do not intend to visit the Mage Tower, do you?”
“of course. If I’m not crazy, why am I going to the Mage Tower?”
Sophia listened to Kayneth’s answer and nodded once.
After a while, young nobles gathered around the two.
Two people who became the center of the crowd in the blink of an eye.
There was a part that Keynes made great achievements on the battlefield, but Sophia, whose image has improved, also expanded her personal connections while actively engaging in external activities.
A meeting of the sons of aristocrats thus created.
and… … A man watching the scene from a distance gritted his teeth.
“sh*t.”
Halbert T Welford. Hearing the news of Sophia’s survival, he personally went to her classroom to congratulate her on her safe return. At the same time, I tried to bring up the story of the engagement, but… … .
“I heard that you have a beautiful fiancee. I sincerely congratulate you.”
Keynes said so and blocked the remarks in advance.
Even the Speyone family is promoting the engagement of Sophia and the third prince of Lyard, so it would be difficult to intervene carelessly.
Swoop.
Halbert looked at his new fiancée.
It was decided for the benefit of the family, but it was not good to see her wearing jewelry and accessories all over her body.
No, rather, the gap between the eyebrows was narrowed.
‘Looks… … yeah, that wouldn’t be too bad. But I never thought luxury would be that bad… … . Did you deliberately pretend to be frugal until you got engaged? In addition, strange rumors such as assaulting an attendant have been circulating in the past… … . ok.’
Halbert let out a long sigh and slipped out onto the terrace to catch his breath.
* * *
“So, Sophia H Spay One? really?”
Isabella L Tart.
The moment she saw Sofia entering the party, she was horrified.
Yes, I’ve heard the rumors. She is a beautiful girl with white hair and blue eyes.
However, rumors were not good among the young ladies, and above all, the fact that she was too young made Isabella lose interest in her.
however… … The girl you met a few days ago was Sophia?!
‘That was worth giving 8 gold coins like a penny.’
I heard that the children of the Speywon family receive dozens of gold coins every month for living expenses.
Sophia, who even has Count Ardennes, who is called a hero on the battlefield, as her own sister.
For her, 8 gold coins… … It’s literally like a penny.
gulp.
Isabella took a deep breath and slipped away from Sophia.
Could it be that he had asked the maid of the Spey One family to kneel? Sophia’s dedicated maid… … !
Upon learning the shocking truth, she quickly ran out onto the terrace.
And the moment I came out to the terrace, I met eyes with a young man.
‘That person… … Was he the eldest son of the Welford family? I’ll be 18 tomorrow, so I’ll be graduating from the academy soon.’
Isabella, who had thought so without any special emotions, soon opened her eyes.
‘Yes, if you are the Welford mistress… … I won’t be tricked by anyone else!’
Of course, the position of the royal wife was difficult. Because her fiancée’s background was so huge that it couldn’t be compared to the Tart family.
However, even if it is a concubine, the story is different if it is the concubine wife of a marquis.
From noble mtl dot com
sh*t.
She drew an arc with her lips as she approached Halbert.
Her red hair blowing in the night breeze. In Halbert’s eyes, she looked like a passionate fire goddess.
* * *
Sophia watches the meeting between Halbert and Isabella indoors. She let out a small laugh.
‘As expected, the future of those two won’t change? More than that, I heard that Halbert is engaged to the Duke of Berield… … .’
Will he have an affair even after being engaged to a princess?
However, the Halbert that Sophia knew was someone who could be left behind.
‘More than that, I never thought I would get engaged to the daughter of the Duke of Berield… … .’
Kedeli G The 2nd Princess of Berield.
As a descendant of the duchy, she had considerable luxury, and was a woman with strong jealousy and ambition. Besides, rumors abounded among the young ladies that they had one temper. It’s probably because she grew up being respected as a princess.
‘He’s the complete opposite of senior Rosen.’
Sophia was a bit taken aback by the unexpected change.
However, the fight between Kedelli and Isabella was also slightly expected.
What kind of bullsh*t fight will you show?
The downfall of the Welford family was already pictured in her mind as a fait accompli.
‘Be happy for a while. Only then will I be able to taste greater despair.’
Recalling the sight of them falling into the abyss in her mind, Sofia turned her head away.
At that moment, her eyes met with the numerous young ladies who were looking at her.
Sophia greeted them with a smile.
“Oh my, long time no see. Lady Sophia.”
“Yeah, it’s been a really long time. In the meantime… … .”
As the boring conversation began, Sophia subtly switched the topic to the commotion of the witches.
“Ah, I heard that story too. My father said he was sending soldiers to a neighboring territory and was urgently filling out the paperwork… … .”
“It seems that there are also suspicions that ‘Isn’t it an artificial commotion caused by the Northern Allied Forces’, perhaps because it happened simultaneously in Korea?”
“There can be no doubt about that. Because hundreds of thousands of witches moved at once.”
“It seems that a certain baron family abandoned the city and ran away because they couldn’t properly deal with the demons’ attacks. No, should I say I couldn’t cope? The number of defenders in the city is only 1,000, but it is said that the number of monsters who attacked was close to 5,000… … .”
“Oh my… … .”
Was it because of the experience of the actual battle at the academy until the beginning of last year?
For them, the battle with the Witchbeast was not an unfamiliar story.
Chapter 125
125. Return (6)
Meanwhile, the lords who became victims of the commotion attended the party and asked for support from other families.
Their contemplative appearance showed how urgent the situation was.
‘You’re going to Kenneth too. Well, the military power of Ardennes belongs to the middle and upper ranks among the count families… … . If it’s natural, is it natural?’
Ardennes Countess with stable military and economic power. As a new nobility, it was showing considerable influence.
There were nobles who looked down on the fact that the family head was 14 years old, but there were also rare nobles who sincerely bowed their heads and asked for help.
“Whoa… … . Still, it’s really fortunate that our family is close to the Ardennes family. Thanks to the support of 3,000 soldiers from Ardennes this time, the territory has entered a stable state.”
“We were able to stop it, albeit with difficulty, by dispatching 5,000 troops to our territory. It was complicated in many ways as more than 1,000 people suffered casualties… … . Thank you very much.”
The young ladies began to express their gratitude to Sophia.
Then Sophia waved her hand and laughed bitterly.
“I haven’t done anything. I would like to thank Kayneth.”
“I already thanked Kayneth a little while ago. But I heard that Miss Sophia asked Kaynes to approve the dispatch.”
“that’s right. To be honest, we didn’t do anything… … .”
Seeing their eyes as if they were moved, Sophia couldn’t help but feel embarrassed in many ways.
Certainly, when I visited Ardennes with Keynes, I did look over the dispatch request.
and… … .
“The OOO family… … ? Is it the family of the young lady who was with us at the tea party last time? And the OOOO family went shopping together the other day… … .”
I just muttered a little.
Could it be that he approved the dispatch after hearing the story?
Sofia glanced at Kayneth, who was having a conversation with the heads of households, and let out a small laugh.
“To Kenneth, I was just sharing a story I had with you all. He might have cared, but it’s Kayneth who made the decision, so it’s okay if you don’t thank me.”
Sophia’s answer made the girls’ eyes sparkle with emotion.
“ah… … .”
“Why, why did such bad rumors spread about such a person… … .”
“I mean. A person who is so warm… … .”
The moment the young ladies showed their praise, Serene, who was standing alone in a corner of the party, glared at Sophia fiercely.
No one approached Serene.
A reputation that has already gone bad. Besides, there were even unfounded rumors floating around that he might have a mental illness.
“I will kill you. I will kill you. I will kill… … .”
bloodshot eyes.
Celine glared at Sofia and immediately disappeared from the party.
As the party came to an end, the nobles slowly began to leave. They returned to their homes located in Jedo Island or to their assigned bedrooms in the detached palaces.
Kayneth and Sofia saw an opportunity and sneaked out of the party.
And the moment I walked to the area where the wagon was parked.
Wedge-Ae-Ae-!
An arrow of ice shot at the two of them.
“… … ?!”
Fain!
Sophia rolled on the floor, hugging Kayneth who was next to her.
and… … .
Wedge-Ae-Ae-!
He bit his lip at the continued attack.
“Don’t worry about me! With my physical abilities, I can avoid such a lame attack while clearing my nose! Rather… … Hurry up and catch him!”
Parbat!
Kayneth jumped over the ledge in the hallway and ran straight into the garden.
Sophia was with him.
The monster covered in a black cloak continued to shoot arrows of ice, but the ‘Ice Arrow’, which was only the 1st circle, could not work on the two.
Wedge! Wedge! Wedge-!
“profit… … ! that’s right! right! kill it!”
