50 – 13. Ettenberg (3)
The second day of the banquet hosted by Ettenberg Street.
“… .”
“… .”
Shien forgot that he was the head of Lichtenau.
I was looking into Adele’s eyes, who had a strangely hard face.
‘Why are you doing this all of a sudden… ?’
From nob le mt l. co m
Maybe there is something bad that I don’t know about.
I have no way of knowing exactly when this happened.
But one thing is certain: Adele’s expression is really bad.
“Me, Adele?”
I keep an eye on it and finally call out my escort’s name.
At that, Adele stopped and looked at the woman next to her.
“Yes, Shien.”
“By any chance, what happened?”
“… Why are you asking such a question?”
“Because I don’t look good.”
It’s not something to worry about.
In fact, the expression Adele was making right now was very serious.
Shien remembers the grave face he usually puts on.
His face wasn’t as distorted or frowning as it is now.
They say that if someone does something they shouldn’t do, other people feel bad.
Shien was fully realizing why such words had come out.
“There was nothing to worry about.”
“really?”
“yes. Really.”
“however… But why is that expression on your face?”
At the repeated question, Adele only blinked her eyes.
It’s Xian who has been asking with his expression since before.
Adele herself didn’t even know what her face was like.
Her face was hardened to the point where it couldn’t be compared to usual.
With her mouth tightly closed, only her eyes were glowing.
Adele was completely unaware.
“Is my expression strange?”
“yes. great.”
I hurriedly straighten my face at Xien’s affirmation.
After a while, when Adele asked if it was okay, Shien touched her chin.
‘I have something. I don’t know what that is.’
I know he never once hid anything.
Thanks to that, the queer mind couldn’t disappear.
But I can’t ask more here.
It will soon be a banquet hall, and Adele is not even aware of it.
“… I heard about it earlier, Adele. They say they arrived from Fiore.”
“Is that woman named Etria here?”
“yes. And the person who came with me is the captain of that knight.”
“What kind of person are you?”
The commander of the Knights of Fiore is one who is famous for his strength.
Perhaps among the nobility there is no one who does not know.
Of course, Adele didn’t even seem to know the basics.
“This is Sir Karad. He is a veteran of veterans who have been through the Great War. He is a strong man with three stripes. It means that he is much stronger than Lord Geon last time.”
“Is that so.”
Chakra, that the belt of the disc is three lines.
It means that maturity as a martial artist has reached the highest level.
It is not awkward to be called the strong of the strong.
“I don’t think Fiore doesn’t know we’re here yet. You will find out soon.”
“You look worried.”
“Because I didn’t know you would bring Lord Karad. he’s strong He is a man whose name is widely known even in Lichtenau for his strong skills.”
“… .”
“Adele, I know your skills well, but it might be a little difficult against him.”
Adele quietly imagined the battle with the knight named Karad.
A strong man who has reached the pinnacle of three lines of zodiac.
Having gone through a great war, he must also have plenty of practical experience.
Even if he couldn’t, he would have had the same level as the imperial knights.
Imagine and imagine again… .
‘… I don’t think I’ll lose at all.’
All the knights of the imperial family are clinging to each other.
Otherwise, I don’t know if all the jackdaws are mobilized.
The most effective way to hunt down the strong is, after all, numerical superiority.
However, if you just look at it as a one-on-one fight like now.
I dare to assure you that Adele is confident that she will not be defeated by anyone.
No, I was certain that I would not lose.
“Then, Shien. Are you changing your plans?”
“Are you planning?”
“About what to do if, by any chance, Fiore carries out a provocation beyond a certain level.”
However, it is not the person himself who is leading him now.
There is a master named Shien, so you have to follow her words.
If she wants to avoid friction, she can avoid it.
Anyway, it’s okay because I’m the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one.
When an order is given, it does whatever it is.
“… no.”
However, Shien seemed to have no intention of doing so.
“The plan doesn’t change.”
“If not.”
“Don’t fall for Fiore’s cheap provocations. Lichtenau, because you have your pride. But if you’ve clearly crossed the line, then do your best to deal with it. Adele.”
At her clear tone, Adele nodded.
“Lichtenauer is coming.”
Just like yesterday, show off your beauty that catches everyone’s attention today.
Shien made her way to the center of the Ettenberg banquet hall.
Unlike Eojae, there were far more guests seated.
Some of them, especially those close to Fiore, narrowed their eyes.
These are the eyes of a hyena looking for a weak spot to bite.
‘I can’t give anything away to get caught.’
Xian decided to be a little more nervous than yesterday.
Only yesterday was the Etenberg family head, his son Peten, and a few other nobles.
However, now only visible nobles exceed double digits.
It is certain that one mistake will spread to all sorts of things.
Especially with your own birth, it will become even more disgusting.
I had to do my best to prevent that.
“Welcome, go to Lichtenau.”
“Lord Etenberg.”
“I hope you have a good time today.”
“thank you. Banquets like this are always welcome.”
First of all, it starts with those who send favorable eyes to themselves.
After a certain amount of time after laying the plate appropriately.
Those who were a little more inclined to suspicion than vigilance would approach.
At that very moment, the doubt must be erased and conversely assured.
Even though Lichtenauer suffered a great tragedy.
Although the current head of household is of mixed blood with a demonic mother.
I’m not saying that I’m not that kind of kid who has only good looks.
“… Nice to meet you, Lichtenau.”
“Nice to meet you. nice to meet you.”
Starting with a few people, Shien gradually expanded its influence.
Coincidentally, the head of the Etenberg family is also looking favorably.
If so, right now could be the best time.
“The Lady of Etria from Fiore is coming.”
But that leisurely time came to an end soon after.
The toughest opponent had finally appeared.
* * *
Again and again -.
Accompanied by the family’s knight leader, Lord Karad.
Etria, the next head of the household of Fiore, steps into the banquet hall.
An impressive red dress with a very aggressive figure.
Could it be because of the clothes that were a bit too revealing?
In an instant, the gaze of the banquet hall focused on her.
“… .”
Of course, Etria didn’t pay any attention to it.
First, I approached Fiore’s old friend, the head of Etenberg.
“Lord Etenberg.”
“Welcome, Lady Etria. Ah, should I call you Sogaju?”
“It doesn’t matter what you call it. Young Ae and So Ga-ju are also right.”
Having said that, Etria stared intently at a certain place.
I hadn’t heard of it before, but I just found out.
That there was an uninvited guest at the Etenberg banquet hall first.
“There are guests from far away.”
“okay. I invited you. I came to Gaju newly, but I wanted to see it at least once.”
“… You see.”
The captain of the Knights of Fiore, Sir Karad, secretly looked at his Sogaju.
Of course, the Etenberg family lord wouldn’t know, and he wouldn’t have to know.
Having seen her for a long time, he immediately noticed a small change.
‘You must be angry.’
I heard that you were humiliated by Lichtenauer at the previous imperial banquet.
It was a terrible disgrace to have Geon’s right arm cut off.
Since Etria cared for her people very much, she must have been very angry.
In addition, didn’t they say that the present head of Lichtenau was a mixed race of humans and demons?
The culprits who caused the chaos in the empire were the demons.
The head of a master swordsman who protects the empire met eyes with that demon.
It was a huge disgrace to Fiore, who was also known as a master of swordsmanship.
Etria seemed to think so.
However, the family head of Lichtenau appeared here.
Even Etenberg is Fiore’s reliable ally and close friend.
without telling them anything.
That Lichtenauer was formally invited to the banquet.
‘As expected, the head of the Etenberg family. Did he go into weighing right away?’
Lord Karad sighed inwardly.
While I was in the position of general manager, I saw a lot of fights like this in the political world.
I wonder if I’ve gotten used to it now, so I thought.
Looking at the current situation, it seems that there is still a long way to go.
“Go and say hello, Lady Etria.”
“… .”
“In addition to the Lichtenau family, his escort is also with us.”
At those words, not only Etria, but also Karad’s eyes lit up.
The escort of the Lichtenau family, who subdued the knights of Fiore with a single sword.
Although I can’t say that I don’t have vengeance at all.
Rather, as a military man, his curiosity about the talented person was stronger.
“… I guess so. You should go and say hello.”
Etria moved slowly while slightly biting her lip.
As she gets closer, the nobles take care of themselves and back away.
Fiore’s reputation is so high, but there is a bigger reason than that.
It was because I could clearly feel the eerie aura she exuded.
“See you again, Lord Lichtenauer.”
“That’s right, Etria Sogaju. How have you been?”
“Nice time. Thanks to.”
To the extent that it can’t be compared to the pride fight between men.
Did you say that the fearsome and suffocating thing is a fight for women’s pride?
Step by step, the nobles focused on the two women, Shien and Etria.
“… .”
In the meantime, Adele felt the eyes looking at her.
When I turned my head, there was a middle-aged man.
The moment they met, Adele knew.
The knight named Karad that Shien was worried about was that man.
