51 – 13. Etenberg (4)
“I didn’t expect to see you here, Lord Lichtenauer.”
“Is that so, Etria Sogaju? Have you come to a place I can’t come to?”
“This place is very far from Lichtenau. Even more so than the imperial castle.”
“Can you bitterly refuse the invitation of the Etenberg family head?”
“It is not. It’s just that the head of the family seems to be away too often.”
Although they say it around the corner, Etria’s words are this in the end.
The family head doesn’t even care about my family.
It seemed as if he was only looking for a banquet hall.
It is an obvious provocation, a mockery sharp as a dagger.
There is no problem if Xian gets angry and shouts at him for being rude.
“Ugh. Will that happen?”
However, Shien did not follow Etria’s wishes.
Rather, it seems to be quite relaxed and opens its mouth.
“I didn’t expect Etria Sogaju to worry about our Lichtenau this much.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“But nothing is so different as this. This is also an extension of the work you have as a head of household. Doesn’t everyone think so? Isn’t it a cow? Does this sound like a useless outing? According to those words, you, the other distinguished guests here, and even the Ettenberg family. I guess that means everyone is getting along in this useless game.”
“… .”
Etria had to doubt her ears.
Is this really the same time I met a few months ago?
Get a little angry, or try to ignore it.
I thought you would have such a reaction.
I never expected to respond in this way.
‘What kind of affair did this coward b*tch suddenly have?’
Etria thought so suddenly.
She turned her gaze to Adele, who was standing next to Shien.
‘Oh my. There’s a corner to believe in, isn’t this?’
He is the one who defeated my escort knights at once.
How many words came out thanks to that.
Although Liechtenauer suffered a tragedy.
That said, Fiore is still not a place to be ignored.
On the contrary, Fiore was properly humiliated!
It was a short period of less than a month, but he was even placed on probation.
Even his road, which was solid, had a big scratch.
For Etria, what happened that day was an unforgettable humiliation itself.
Awesome-.
While gritting her teeth, Etria suppressed her anger.
There is nothing better to stimulate here.
It just gives the man named Adele a reason to step out.
‘A disgusting biracial b*tch. It’s not like he’s conceited that he got an escort well.’
What he was aiming for now was not this mixed race.
That gem that sparkles the most, that servant who isn’t even a knight yet.
So, at this point, it was good to stop the friction between the two.
“… .”

Meanwhile, Lord Karad was diligently searching for Adele.
Literally scrutinizes the other person with a blatant gaze.
Not an ordinary knight, but a knight commander, a strong man with three belts.
Of course, facing that gaze is burdensome or unpleasant.
Such a reaction should have been shown, but Adele was extremely indifferent to it.
‘… under. hahahaha.’
Sir Karad looked at Adele, who did not respond to my eyes.
I almost burst out laughing in the sense of being ridiculous without even realizing it.
‘Geon, I thought he was careless.’
Everyone in Fiore thought so.
No matter how much Geon says he did his best.
It was inexplicable that he lost to a young escort who was only in his 20s.
He wasn’t even defeated, he lost an arm.
From nob le mt l. co m
Most of them because Geon was careless.
That’s why I thought it was the price I paid for losing my arm.
Karad, too, was one of most of them.
However, since we are facing each other right now, that is a misunderstanding.
Even though he was a junior with excellent skills.
I could finally understand the reason why his life as a knight was coming to an end.
‘Looking at you, breathing, even that posture. What do you mean by looking at that, a beginner with no experience?’
Evidence that the other person was a tremendously talented person that he himself had barely discovered.
Even the senior drivers didn’t notice.
Even if it was Geon, he would have barely noticed it right before it collided.
I can assure you that quite a few articles will just be overpowered.
He is a young man to look at, but he must have more practical experience than anyone else.
To the extent that simply saying that he was excellent was not enough, that was Karad’s conclusion.
‘Now I understand why Sogaju cares so much.’
It was to the extent that they tried to dig up information by moving the intelligence corps in Fiore.
And it was said that they were outraged by reports of no harvest.
It is said that Sogaju has a lot of talent greed, but it seemed too obsessed.
It wasn’t that, she was just having legitimate concerns.
‘Appease, or remove. At least the former is easy.’
Lord Karad thought so and looked away.
Just in time, Etria also kept her mouth shut and slightly turned her head.
It meant no more fights.
“Come on, both of you, let’s do that. Everyone sees it as a good sight, doesn’t it?”
From nob le mt l. co m
Maybe he noticed that Etria was trying to sneak away instead of fighting back.
Just in time, the family head of Etenberg comes between Shien and Etria.
Then, with a smile on his face, he properly dries the two women.
“Anyway, women’s fights are much scarier. Isn’t that right, gentlemen?”
As befits the host who held this banquet, he is very skillful.
After calming the atmosphere of the banquet hall that could have become chilly.
Leave a toast to wish you a pleasant banquet.
And accordingly, those invited to the banquet receive the word.
I would like to express my gratitude to the Etenberg family head for inviting me to such a beautiful banquet.
In addition, I hope that eternal prosperity and peace will come to the empire.

“How was it, Captain?”
Etria, who sneaked out onto the balcony, asked.
At that, Lord Karad opened his mouth after organizing his thoughts for a while.
“I misunderstood.”
“No misunderstanding. What do you mean?”
“I wonder if Lord Geon was even the slightest bit off guard.”
“He said he did his best. Me too, Sir Geon himself.”
“However, the senior engineer was an attendant and this happened. Not just me, but everyone else must have felt the same way.”
Etria pursed her lips and complained.
He and Geon clearly said the truth.
From nob le mt l. co m
Many people in the family were suspicious, so it was understandable.
“But now Lord Geon’s words. And I believe in the word of Soga Lord.”
“If that means… .”
“Even if he can’t do it, he’s more outstanding than most knights.”
Sir Karad is the second most powerful man in Fiore.
The only person who could be a match would be the head of Fiore.
The judgment he made about Adele was very accurate.
“I wonder where on earth they got such a person.”
“I’m thinking it might be someone secretly raised in Lichtenau.”
“It’s not very unlikely, but I don’t think so.”
“Why? That’s why I say that, Captain.”
Etria prompts for an answer.
Because the future direction of your actions depends on his opinion.
“First of all, the atmosphere itself is different. I know this well because I ran into the knights of Lichtenau several times. None of the knights there give off that kind of atmosphere.”
“There is a possibility that they were raised differently on purpose.”
“It is still impossible. In the first place, Lichtenau has no articles to put that kind of atmosphere on, and it doesn’t deal with people that way. I assure you, that servant named Adele was not raised in Lichtenau. He must have come from outside.”
“… Then why the hell did you go to Lichtenau? Why did you stick with that half-blood b*tch?”
It was Etria with an expression that said she couldn’t understand at all.
In his own eyes, Lichtenau was a castle in ruins, a ship on the verge of sinking.
Anyone with an idea wouldn’t go in there just because they were crazy.
Why the hell did a man named Adele go there?
“Could that mixed race be of beauty?”
“… It’s not very unlikely, but… .”
Lord Karad once thought of Shien’s appearance.
A woman with such a beauty that even she, who has now become the sword itself, is shocked at the moment.
If you’re looking at her, why did the former head of the Lichtenau family marry a demon woman?
I was able to understand even a little bit.
The most dangerous enemy for a man is none other than woman.
From nob le mt l. co m
Many promising people, and great knights.
There is a case where life is twisted as much as it is twisted because I met a wrong woman once.
Looking at such cases, the world of beauty does not make sense at all.
‘But considering that’s the case, the reviews on Sien Lichtenauer weren’t bad… .’
If I said that, Etria would surely frown.
So Lord Karad turned his reason in a different direction.
“No matter how you look at it, he doesn’t seem like a young man who would fall for something like that.”
“If so, why the hell? Why is it Lichtenauer?”
“… You don’t have to have a reason, right?”
“yes?”
“There are people like that. Those who just follow and act as their own heart goes, without any great reason or significance. Coincidentally, the family head of Lichtenau happened to be there.”
From a rational point of view, it doesn’t make sense at all.
Sometimes people, animals, act extremely emotionally.
Even at the expense of helping someone.
Conversely, intentionally overdoing it even though you can benefit from it.
People have something so incomprehensible.
“I’m even more coveted when the captain says that.”
If it wasn’t someone raised by Lichtenauer, it was someone who just flowed in from the outside.
Even if it’s not because you clearly want something, but if you’re there for a moment.
It meant that he could turn Adele to Fiore at any time.
“Are you okay? in the family… .”
“I feel sorry for Sir Geon, but he will understand. To steal such an outstanding gemstone…”
“… .”
“And above all, I can’t see that half-blood b*tch with such a sharp sword. I won’t see you trusting that one man and strutting around anymore, Captain.”
ha-.
Lord Karad let out a small sigh and finally nodded.
From nob le mt l. co m
My future master has already made up his mind.
I don’t think I’ll even hear it if I object here.
And to be honest, I want to bring that man named Adele to Fiore.
If Fiore’s swordsmanship were added to his sharp aura.
I was really curious about how sharp the forged sword would be.
