Love Letter From The Future chapter 526

7. Jealousy is my strength (26)

The Master symbolizes the strength of each country.

Their existence was simply impossible to explain with the concept of ‘strong’. They were living as a kind of guardian spirit and center.

The swordsmith of the empire protects the imperial family.

The saint of the holy kingdom protects the holy city of Ciendel, and the great witch suppresses the evil that lurks in the great forest.

This composition has been maintained for a long time. Even when a new master appeared, it was the same.

You could tell just by looking at the time when the ‘great sage’ who had previously guarded the imperial palace disappeared. The old wizard, who had lived longer than the saint and the great witch, gave up his place to the swordsmith and suddenly disappeared.

The reason was simple.

If more than one Master belongs to a country, the balance will collapse.

To that extent, the Master’s existence was special. Naturally, the issue of determining the successor had to be closely watched by the entire continent.

That’s why influential people from all over the world came to the academy to hear the news that the Archwitch was recruiting students.

Everyone wanted those belonging to their family to become disciples of the Archwitch.

It was because if even a vision was passed on, the fragments of that realization would be worth pursuing for development.

For example, the Yurdina family’s arcane swordsmanship. There was even a rumor that even the ‘Golden Sword’ they boasted was made based on the realization handed down by their master a long time ago.

However, this major premise had one fatal weakness.

To become a disciple of the Archwitch.

In other words, it meant becoming the next guardian of the Southern Ten Kingdoms.

There was no room for negotiation.

It was because the Archwitch had no chin to choose as a disciple those who did not agree to these conditions in the first place.

Although they could share their vision or realization to some extent, they could not abandon the symbol of the ‘central point’ of the Southern Ten Kingdoms.

Of course, these drawbacks were tolerable.

It is an opportunity to become the next Master. If I missed this, I had nothing to say even if I was called an idiot.

unless there is a guaranteed alternative.

It didn’t take even a few seconds for the Master of the Empire to attack the Master of the Southern Ten Kingdoms.

“Sir, let’s talk!”

Bang, he shouted as he kicked the door.

No matter how hard the material was, there was no material in the world that could withstand the master’s leg strength. A short burst of noise was followed by a creaking of the horribly crumpled doors, making an unpleasant noise.

I was just breaking out in a cold sweat behind the swordsman.

Can I do this?

There were dozens of people who stopped us while we reached the archwitch’s residence. Most of them were nobles belonging to the Southern Ten Kingdoms, and were sent to accompany the Archwitch.

But who would stand in the way of the swordsman whose eyes had turned?

If you didn’t want to become minced meat, you had no choice but to quietly avoid the seat. Of course, the swordsman was kind enough to stun the opponent before he could.

He didn’t even have to draw his sword.

As soon as the swordsman slightly revealed his blade-forged life skills, most of the attendants passed out on the spot while urinating.

It was as strong as a monster.

However, unlike me who was very nervous, the swordsman was advancing with a vigorous gait. Toward the Archwitch, who was slumped in an armchair.

The Archwitch was also overflowing with composure.

“That’s a pretty rough greeting, sword maniac kid… I thought you fixed that habit long ago.”

“Hey, isn’t that a story that has been around for decades? Do you really want to feel the flow of time by putting a game together?”

“I am already realizing the flow of time to the bone. Isn’t there a kid standing in front of me right now with a cheeky glaring eye? In the past, I wouldn’t have even raised my head… Tsk, how timeless the years are.”

As she clicked her tongue, the Archwitch naturally let out cigarette smoke.

It was a face that showed that he was forced to engage in conversation.

“So what happened? Surely, you wouldn’t say it was nothing even after committing such an rude thing?”

“Are you asking because you don’t know?”

The swordsman was scratching his neck like a beast, revealing his uncomfortable feelings without filtering. It was to the point of leaking out the sound of heated breathing through clenched teeth.

“No matter how much you are in a hurry to become a disciple, there is a limit. Are you trying to take a child who has been marked by someone else? Did you give me a dog for shame?”

“Ha, what else am I saying?”

The Archwitch sneered at “Sik” and put the pipe into her mouth.

The smirking smile was strangely mocking the swordsman.

“Aren’t you your disciple yet? Then I can be covetous, has anyone ever threatened someone with a knife?”

“That’s a really, very attractive choice.”

At the same time, the swordsman sneakily showed the sword at his waist.

The sword bestowed by the emperor was one of the most sacred objects of the empire. The golden dragon engraved on the pure white scabbard was revealing the dignity of the imperial family.

A famous sword like that inevitably hides its owner.

In other words, it meant that no one except the swordsman could carry that sword. Naturally, it deserved to be a weapon symbolizing swordsmanship.

However, the Archwitch only snorted at the signal suggesting the exercise of her skills.

“Aren’t you already aiming a lot of swords? To the kind that can’t be avoided in the first place… Did you really think that I would reap my will to this extent?”

“Then, do you really want to play?”

Poem lowered his posture slightly and placed his hand on the handle of the sword. The swordsman looked sincere.

The fresh blue life burns like an ember.

Gradually, the swordsman’s rage was reaching a dangerous level. The moment I thought, should I step in now?

“Did you ask what that kid meant?”

“… … What?”

At that brief question, the swordsman trembled and lost his posture.

The Archwitch was still smiling nonchalantly.

“I asked if you asked what that kid meant? Of course, isn’t the choice up to the child? It is the future of that child.”

“Heh, this guy is a nobleman of the empire since birth. The answer is obvious… … ?”

It didn’t take long for the smile to disappear from the confident Swordsman’s lips.

It was because I silently avoided the swordsman’s gaze.

The swordsmith’s eyes widened and his body trembled, one after another passing over my retina.

Somehow, it seemed that the development that would follow was already visible.

Right after I closed my eyes.

“Yes, inoooum! Ian Percus, are you going to betray the Empire?! Are you still a noble of the Empire?!”

The sound of swordsmen running amok hit my eardrums.

He was so angry that his voice contained air waves.

All the furniture was shaking like an aspen tree. The wrath of the Absolute was difficult even for me, who had reached a high expert level, to handle.

I managed to suppress the urge to plug my ears.

“Regardless of nobles and commoners, all subjects of the Empire are blessed by the Imperial Family! Are you going to be so ungrateful?!”

“Tsk tsk… That means the Empire is no good.”

It was around that time that the high pitched voice of the swordsman stopped.

Facing the old man’s bloodshot eyes, the Archwitch flicked her index finger and clicked her tongue.

It was an amazing courage indeed.

“Who would want to pay allegiance to the Empire when they only talk about duty and honor? No matter how honorable a knight may be, he cannot raise his sword with a stomach ache… Of course, we should give you a reward worthy of your duty.”

“Okay… that, that… … .”

At first glance, it sounded right.

It was clear that the swordsman, who would not have been able to speak from the beginning, was not at a level where he could easily raise objections. The swordsman, who had been groaning for a while, secretly looked at me and cleared his throat.

“… … I can’t help it! Then I will give you one of my precious nieces and granddaughters. How is Shien?”

“No, isn’t that what we’ve already said before?”

“Then two? Iris, Shien! how about the two Among my nieces and granddaughters, they are the most off-white… … !”

The old man’s obsession had an ugly side that made it hard to see.

I averted my gaze at the spirit of the swordsman, who seemed to hand over the entire imperial family if he continued at this rate.

“yes? Don’t you hate to rot your whole life in the Great Forest? Still, in many ways it’s better to have a lot of pretty wives and enjoy a splendid life in the imperial family… … !”

“Stop, stop.”

The archwitch was the one who stopped the swordsman on my behalf.

The swordsman was about to cling to me now that his tears were welling up. If the Archwitch hadn’t stepped in first, I might have yelled at her to stop first.

Even the Archwitch didn’t seem to know that the swordsmith would come out like this.

So, why not hold your forehead as if your head is pounding?

A long sigh came out.

“No, what about a guy who’s old enough… stop! I lost. Let’s negotiate.”

“… … Negotiation?”

As if the proposal was tempting, the swordsman immediately stopped crying and looked at the Archwitch.

In the blink of an eye, there was even anticipation in his eyes.

“Okay, negotiate. I just had a job for that kid, so why don’t you help me out?”

“No, what kind of weird noise is that?”

“Then you can show off your skills. Wouldn’t that make the kid more likely to seduce you?”

“… … Hmm.”

The swordsman seemed to think that the archwitch’s words made sense.

Letting out a light saliva, he murmured to himself.

“I’m an escort for my nephew, what… That should be enough. If it’s just to catch your breath… … .”

I felt a thrill as I watched this series of events.

At first, I wondered what would happen, but I never thought that the Archwitch would succeed in enlisting the swordsman’s cooperation.

The Archwitch was more knowledgeable about swordsmithing than she could have imagined.

That childish real face hidden by his majestic appearance and reputation as a ‘swordsmith’!

Eventually, the swordsman gave the answer that the archwitch had expected.

“What, what a mess… It just happened that the academy felt cluttered. It’s like paying respect to the elderly.”

Even the tone of voice was the same as before, after returning to engineering school.

At this point, it seemed safe to say that all of the swordsmith’s anger had been resolved. I let out a sigh of relief inwardly, but it seemed that the Archwitch still had something to say.

He continued with a suspicious smile and a subdued tone.

“By the way, in fact, there is one more condition… … .”

“… … ?”

It was the first I’d heard of it too.

Wasn’t this play supposed to get the swordsman’s cooperation?

My bewildered gaze and the swordsman’s eyes met in the air, and a few minutes later.

Standing in front of me was a girl I had never seen before.

Her elegant dark blue hair fell down to her waist. The blue eyes of the girl in the first year uniform of the academy were shining as if they were studded with starlight.

So I opened my eyes and couldn’t say anything.

On the other hand, the Archwitch couldn’t suppress her giggling laughter. The Archwitch, who had been giggling for a while, then asked, wiping the tears from her eyes with her index finger.

“Pu-sup, kyahehehe… How are you, sword maniac? How does it feel to return to a young body after a long time?”

Only then did the girl with a dull expression open her mouth.

“… … Fuck this.”

The identity of this lovely girl whom I have never seen before.

It was ‘Sword Gong’ wearing the shell of a young woman.

It was a natural story, but it was the archwitch’s trick.
