Love Letter From The Future chapter 230

4. Rynella’s fate is decided by Rynella (23)

That night, a small festival was held in the mansion of Percus.

In fact, it felt more like a ‘banquet’ than a festival. At most, it was an event that served alcohol and food to guests visiting the mansion.

It was a world where even commoners knew how to treat their hands with respect.

Needless to say, it was the noble family of Percus. It was not so uncommon to play a leading role in aristocratic society.

However, there was a different reason why tonight’s banquet was called a ‘festival’.

It was because of the number of visitors.

On the day I returned, people from my hometown who had a relationship with me would gather in groups of threes and fives. The number alone was enough to be called a ‘crowd’.

It was thanks to the fact that the Percus family had been indifferent to commoners for generations.

All kinds of people came to see my face, from Mr. Hans of the blacksmith, Ned the naughty boy, to his sister May.

No matter how big the mansion of Percus was, there was always a limit.

When dozens to hundreds of people came, it was impossible to respond with only the Percus Mansion. So, every day I returned, several long tables would be set in the yard of the Percus mansion.

With so many people laughing and chatting, a loud noise echoed through the yard.

It was a scene reminiscent of a festival.

Only one son who left home has returned, so is it necessary to have such a grand welcome ceremony?

I had doubts every time, but I was also a person who couldn’t help it.

The more people welcomed me, the more my heart was encouraged. Somehow, I was walking around the yard getting a drink.

Smoke billowed incessantly from the corner of the yard.

The smell of delicious meat hit me. Today’s menu was barbecued whole pork, but it seemed that Lia, who was in charge of the estate’s finances, used a large barrel.

Or did he have the confidence to rip off the princess that much?

I tousled the hair of the boy who was hurriedly eating pork next to me.

At first glance, he looked like a mischievous little boy. His name was Ned, and next to him was a girl with a nervous expression.

The girl’s name was ‘May’. She was Ned’s sister, but her nature was the opposite.

If Ned was outgoing and playful, May was quiet and timid.

So Ned always said that he had to protect his sister.

After their parents died when they were young, they were siblings who became like orphans. There was a connection that his father, who felt sorry for this, hired Ned as an errand boy for the mansion.

Even then, Ned bravely fed his sister.

I wondered what it would have been like after I left, but it was fortunate that he looked healthy every time I saw him. I asked Ned in a playful voice.

“Ned, are you still practicing?”

“… … that, yes Master!”

Ned gulped down the pork he was eating, then jumped up and boasted to me.

It was Ned, who usually used the honorific title ‘Bocchan’. However, when the training story began, people changed.

He used to say that he wanted to become a knight to protect his sister.

Also, since I was the closest person to a knight in the Percus Territory, it was inevitable for him to enshrine and worship me as ‘Master’.

In fact, I also watched his training a few times.

Fortunately, it seemed that he had the patience to continue training.

I was the one who thought I was proud on the inside, but on the outside, I had to act out my unreliable expression.

The training was over once it was released.

Even if I was exhausted and exhausted and I felt like I was going to die, even if I was so tired that I didn’t want to see it again, the road was always on the other side of the road.

I offered advice to keep Ned from getting loose.

“Ned, you know? There is no reason to take a break from training other than an injury. And a great article… … .”

“You’re not lying?”

It had already been said several times, so Ned immediately understood what was going to be said.

I stroked his head roughly once more to mean brave.

Ned chuckled and burst into laughter.

“I believe now! I heard, what kind of activity the young master did!”

At that cry, the son-in-law fell silent for an instant.

Dozens of pairs of eyes turned to me at once. May’s body trembled as she clung to Ned’s side.

It was because too many people’s attention was focused on it.

However, Ned, whose ignorance is both an advantage and a disadvantage, asked me regardless.

“Is that rumor real?! just, just… Defeat the horned monsters and defeat the evil demons who bully the children at the hunting festival where the great nobles participate! In addition, rescue the princess who was being threatened by the bad guys of the Dark Church, and uh… … !”

Apparently, Ned was so excited.

Isn’t it a feat that only knights in heroic stories would see?

However, on the other side of the splendid record, there were bloodstains that no one could see.

There were not many opportunities left for me.

The sacred item he received as a reward from the imperial family was his last hope.

After that, I would not be able to save my life even if I sold the whole Percus territory. How would Ned react to this?

Of course I couldn’t have said that.

Ned was still old enough to dream a little more.

I smiled vaguely, as always.

“Okay? What about the truth?”

The answer came from somewhere else.

It was because Elsie-senpai, who ran quickly, straightened her shoulders in front of me.

It was a very proud look. Perhaps even if she herself was praised, she would not be so pleased.

There was a slight uneasiness in my eyes. Senior Elsie’s mouth was more threatening to me than a ticking time bomb.

Mainly in terms of social reputation.

It seemed that senior Elsie’s declaration of ‘Master’ hadn’t reached this countryside yet, but it would be a big deal if such a situation were repeated again.

I wanted to avoid being called trash in my hometown where my family was staying.

Whether or not he knew my feelings, Elsie placed both hands on my hips in triumph.

“host… Oh no! Ian did a great job. Seriously, His Majesty the Emperor must have even given a divine gift? Especially Guilford, that old man who doesn’t even care to chew him to death… … .”

Elsie, who was trying to show off her outstanding wit as usual, stopped talking.

It was because he realized that the atmosphere around him had become chilly.

It could have been the first time I encountered the grumpy talk that was spit out with that doll-like appearance. To be honest, I did too.

However, the reason Elsie-senpai hesitated was because of her father, who looked at her with surprised eyes.

She immediately coughed a few times, then continued speaking in a polite tone.

“The old man who is not good at chewing to death, slaps us on the back of the head… Ah, no, that monkey alone when betrayed… No, because you robbed a baby monkey! Even that ugly bone ache was smashed… Not to mention, even the cruelty of disposing of corpses!”

‘Brutalism’ didn’t seem like a compliment, no matter how much I thought about it, but I deliberately decided not to point it out.

The audience loves it with their eyes shining, so I have no choice but to do so.

I let out a deep sigh and shook my head. Senior Elsie didn’t care about my tired reaction and hugged my arm.

And, like a pet showing affection to its owner, it patted me on the head.

I liked the feel of Elsie’s soft cheeks.

A sweet voice escaped from her mouth.

“Yeah, it’s the owner… cool… … .”

The fact that the head of the corpse was crushed seemed to leave a deep impression on Elsie-senpai.

That esoteric sensibility was still hard to understand.

However, when Elsie-senpai clung to me, I felt a cold stare from somewhere.

There, a tall middle-aged man was staring at me with his arms crossed.

It was Mr. Reynolds.

Only then did I remember that this was a place with dozens of spectators.

Lately, I didn’t notice because Elsie-senpai was so aggressively clinging to her, but there was something inappropriate about the distance between aristocratic men and women in their prime.

It wouldn’t be strange if someone misunderstood them as lovers.

In fact, the eyes of the buzzing hometown people also became strange.

I was startled, and it was the car I was trying to get away from Elsie-senpai.

Pak, and the shovel blade got stuck between Elsie-senpai and me.

Senior Elsie and I instinctively distanced ourselves from each other. Senior Elsie’s bewildered eyes turned to the woman holding the shovel.

Standing there, there was Leah with a smile on her face.

“… … Lady Rainella, we haven’t even officially talked about marriage yet. No matter how special you are, please refrain from this kind of place.”

Elsie-senpai’s eyes hardened.

According to my temperament, it wouldn’t be strange to say all sorts of swear words now that I was in tears, but Elsie-senpai looked at me right before.

That was it.

After hesitating for a while, Elsie-senpai became sullen and turned around.

“That, uh, oh… yes.”

Elsie-senpai’s back as she turned lonely looked particularly bleak.

I, who had been looking sad for a while, glanced at Leah.

Leah just laughed and sneered.

I was dumbfounded and had no choice but to ask her.

“… … Why are you holding a shovel again?”

“Yeah, they need a pit to put the charcoal firewood in. Do you think roasting a pig is normal?”

I was about to scold him, saying, “Wouldn’t it be better to ask the workers who do the chores?”, but I shook my head.

It was because she knew that shoveling was the only way to relieve her mental fatigue.

Lia took a deep breath and wiped the sweat with her sleeve.

Her damp hair was shiny, revealing a bewitching off-white color. If it was put out somewhere, the men who wanted to take it would be a wagon, but that temper was the problem.

And Lia started to show off her temper without regret today.

“Ned, don’t expect too much. Rumors are usually mixed with exaggeration.”

Ned jumped up and down as if there was no way he could do that.

In his eyes, there was even a glimpse of desperation that he did not want to lose his childhood hero.

“… … Ha, but that aristocratic lady just now must be!”

“Do you believe that? Rainella-sama is close to my brother, and since she came down to her friend’s hometown, maybe we can bring her up at least once.”

Then Lia brushed the hair under my ears with a heartache on her face.

“Common sense makes no sense. My brother was only in the middle of the academy until recently. A supernova that will ring the continent in a few months? whooping… … .”

Lia, who burst into a bleak laugh, soon burst into a sudden shout.

“… … Do not be ridiculous!”

Then Lia’s golden eyes began to stare at me fiercely. I sighed and averted his gaze.

It was the beginning of another nagging.

He was probably less upset about not being able to find time to be alone with him this afternoon.

“It’s dangerous! In common sense, it’s Mine, Dark Church… They are all monsters from mythology! That, but why does my brother have to get entangled in such a thing?!”

However, Ned didn’t seem to want to leave as it was.

The little boy stuttered and came up with poor excuses.

“Ha, but it could be real! Bocchan has been training steadily since the old days… … .”

“… … After, Ned.”

It was a sad voice.

Leah gave Ned the final blow with a wry smile.

“It’s unfortunate, but there are walls that cannot be overcome with effort… And my brother isn’t that talented. can you understand You have to work hard every day to reach the level of ‘Expert’!”

Ned, who could not bear to refute those words, was shot down.

Only then did Lia, who had a satisfied smile, glared at me and said.

“Did you understand my brother? From now on, do not get entangled in unnecessarily dangerous things, and follow our theme in the order of Oh Soon-do… … .”

However, Lia’s voice began to diminish toward the end.

The sound of the horseshoes clattering echoed through the mansion of Percus at night.

It was small at first, but the sound was getting clearer. It seemed clear to anyone that a new guest had arrived.

However, the banquet had already begun for a long time.

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t think of anyone who hadn’t come. It was the reason that my eyes and Ria’s eyes turned to the epicenter at the same time.

There, an unknown figure with a hood pressed down deeply was approaching on horseback.

Every time he moved, the sharp metallic sound made him guess his armed status.

At least it was a knight.

In the yard where the dry silence fell, several eyes met in the air.

Me, Celine, Elsie-senpai, the saintess, and even Seria.

No one had any idea where to go.

Mr. Reynolds had no reaction either. Rather, he just stared at me silently, as if he would wait and see how I came out.

The horse stopped in front of the mansion.

It was clear that he had come here.

The people in the hometown, who rarely saw knights because it was a rural area, looked a little uneasy. If I saw the mysterious article wearing the hood, I would have done the same.

The moment I took a step with my hand on my waist.

The blue trail cut the world like the Milky Way.

I couldn’t even react. The blow that appeared so suddenly disappeared like an illusion. But the aftermath was clear.

A gust of wind blew out and shook the place.

A few people screamed and sat down. The black ground lined with bells was blown up. I gritted my teeth at the sound of the wind mixed with dust.

Is it the Dark Church?

The opponent was at least an expert. Otherwise, I couldn’t show the same confidence as before.

The moment I, who had made up my mind, was about to gnaw my teeth and draw my sword.

“… … Master!”

The hood came off with a clear voice.

The woman who appeared in it was very beautiful. It was to the point where I felt that my vision, which had been immersed in darkness all at once, had brightened a little.

A beautiful woman with impressive blue hair approached me excitedly.

“No, it is as you said! The technique you taught me is not perfect, but I think I know the feeling!”

I’m lost.

I was familiar with the female knight who was holding my hand with both hands and giving thanks over and over again. It wasn’t long before I remembered her name.

The daughter of the Luphemion family who escorted the princess.

She must have realized that the atmosphere had become strange only then, startled, and staggered backwards.

Then, he coughed and bowed his head respectfully.

“… … My name is Irene Luphemion of the Imperial Guard. Sorry for making a fuss while you were having fun.”

I wasn’t the only one who was at a loss for words over the chain of events.

Even Lia, who was in high spirits, was looking at Sir Irene with a bewildered face.

Irene Luphemion of the Imperial Guard.

Read at noblemtl

Judging from the inaction he showed at the beginning, it was clear that he was a person who had reached an extraordinary state. Not to mention that he belonged to the famous Imperial Guard Knights.

Above all, the surname ‘Lupemion’.

“The Blue Wolf of the East… … .”

The title that someone chanted was a word that represented one of the five noble families of the Empire.

Luphemion, who protects the eastern side of the empire.

A member of the group, out of the blue, called me ‘teacher’ and greeted me politely.

Not many people could accept this as a reality right away.

Liana Ned, and even me.

Sir Irene looked very embarrassed when the atmosphere was not very good. After hesitating for a while, she immediately hit her head on the ground as if she realized it.

“Eh, just as you said, we have arrived! Master!”

It was the moment when forces beyond imagination gathered in a small country estate.
