87 – 22. Something else (2)
Shien’s answer was enough to cause a stir.
The nobles, who looked at her unwelcome, were surprised that they did not do so when they could embarrass Fiore depending on the answer.
Those who still had no feelings for her lamented Lichtenauer’s words of confidence in Fiore.
But no one would have been as surprised as Etria.
‘What kind of plan is that half-breed?’
Although Shien just gave a good answer.
Etria seemed to be hiding something else.
Since he had such a mind, it was natural for him to assume that others would too.
“The Lord of Fiore is right. After a while, the sun will drop, and then it will be dangerous outside. Shouldn’t the person closest to your family go for more than half a day right now? Darkness is not on man’s side. I’m on the side of witches who don’t know when they will come out.”
“That is true, but… .”
“I think the castle is not in danger of being captured and there is no reason to leave this place.”
Saying that, Shien lightly tilted his glass.
To the extent that people who were surprised by his very relaxed appearance were embarrassed.
‘What is that space? Can you do that?’
‘He seems to have confidence since he said he subdued a level 2 Demon Lord.’
‘If the family head of Lichtenau says that… Will it be all right?’
They were also shaken by the words of Etria and other nobles.
However, they seem to agree with Cien’s opinion.
As if their center of gravity was Lichtenau.
Seeing that, Etria involuntarily bit her lip.
First of all, it is fortunate that Cien agrees with his opinion.
Thanks to this, the nobles were scattered in all directions, preventing them from losing their shape on such an auspicious day.
But if there is something to be gained, there is also something to be lost.
Instead of tying up the nobles, he had to pay the price.
To see that irritating half-blood take center stage.
“Lord of Fiore. If not, go out and do all your business.”
“It would be nice if we could just choose a room to stay for the day. ha ha ha!”
They were the ones who acted as if they would leave the castle right away, just a little while ago.
They say they believe in Fiore now and tell me to go.
As if they believed in Etria in the first place.
Tsk, it was Etria who lightly clicked her tongue.
I don’t like the current situation, but in the end it’s a good thing.
Since the nature of Fiore is so large anyway, it can handle a little less than 50 guests.
It shouldn’t be difficult to prepare a room if you talk to the people in the family.
“If so, everyone. You are still enjoying the banquet. I’ll be back soon.”
“Good luck, Lord Fiore.”
“I wish you luck.”
If Fiore is breached, the west will be defenseless.
Honey nobles wholeheartedly supported Etria.
Their sacrifice guarantees their safety.
Instead, Fiore becomes higher and has greater power.
This was the world of today’s aristocrats.
“Lord of Fiore.”
The moment I left the banquet hall and was about to head to where the knights were waiting.
At the voice calling her, Etria turned her head.
There, Shien was standing with Adele.
Originally, I would have ignored it, or just said hello and passed by.
From Fiore’s point of view, demons are people that you never want to associate with.
But right in front of me is hell itself. No, something worse than hell awaits.
And those who came out of that hell are right in front of them again.
There were pride issues and hidden tragedies in the Fiore family, but it was time to bow down.
“… Lichtenauer is the lord.”
“I heard that my servant, Adele, has something to tell you.”
After saying that, Shien stepped aside slightly.
Immediately after, Adele stood face to face with Etria, and the knights of Fiore frowned.
It seems to be bothering me to openly look at my family head without any examples.
“Please stop it.”
After stopping the knights, Etria faced Adele.
It meant that he had something he wanted to say to himself.
“If you face each other carelessly, the damage will be great.”
“… ?”
“It is good to accept. to the end of the last.”
It was Adele, who was talking incomprehensibly.
A demonic realm appeared right in front of you, so you shouldn’t deal with it recklessly.
Isn’t it different from an enemy attacking the front yard and telling them not to drive it out?
“My lord. You must go quickly.”
At the urging of the knights, Etria just nodded and left the banquet hall.
When I ignored it, I kept thinking about what Shien had said.
The part where Adele’s contribution was the greatest in subduing the second-class Demonic World.
From before, I had been paying attention to his specialness and military power.
However, no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t believe that he had wandered around the 2nd grade Demonic Realm by himself.
If they are pushed out of numbers, even knights will be killed by a 4th grade monster.
Even more so, aren’t the opponents the 2nd-class monsters that even the imperial knights had a hard time with?
No matter how talented a swordsman, that would be impossible.
‘I don’t know if it’s a monster.’
Was it that I was dumbfounded even after saying that to myself?
Etria smiled and shook her head.
After shaking off my thoughts like that, I started moving to the place where the Demonic Realm appeared.
Originally, he should have been congratulated by the nobles and toasted as the head of Fiore.
It’s a bit unfortunate that things went this way, but it wasn’t too bad either.
Unlike other families, Fiore values martial arts.
At the same time, you always have to prove your strength, which is different from other families.
From nob le mt l. co m
More excellent knights, more valiant soldiers, and even sharper swordsmanship.
All of that was the difference between Fiore and the rest of the family.
In order to show them, I always took the lead in subduing the Demon Realm.
He played an active role befitting the name of the empire’s master of swordsmanship.
While Lichtenauer lost his head and stumbled, he succeeded in leaping.
However, Lichtenauer suddenly resurrected and now went to a higher place.
It is not enough to simply catch up with them.
Fiore’s name should be engraved with a greater, more amazing achievement.
Just as there cannot be two suns in the sky, one master swordsman is enough.
“Are you here, Head of the House?”
Captain Karad, who had been encamped beforehand, greeted Etria.
A place that takes less than 30 minutes on horseback from the nature of Fiore.
It was enough to see how the war was going on in the castle.
“How is the situation?”
“Not good. It seems that the Demonic View will open late at night or early in the morning.”
“This is the time when humans are at their weakest.”
“yes. Fortunately, most of the knights and enlisted soldiers were concentrated in the main base, so we were able to strike a double line of defense right away.”
The first line of defense was the forces to be subjugated, centered on the demonic world.
And the 2nd line of defense was those who were located between the main line and the 1st line of defense just in case.
“I hope it ends at the first line of defense. Will it be difficult?”
“It’s not a 3rd grade demon spectacle, it’s a 2nd grade demon spectacle. It’s a catastrophe I’ve experienced only three times.”
“How was it? That demonic scene that is more terrible than hell.”
At Etria’s question, Captain Karad smiled bitterly.
Then, um, he let out a drool and parted his lips.
“To be honest, I don’t want to think about it.”
At Captain Karad’s words, Etria was quite shocked inside.
In Fiore, the only person skilled enough to go first with a sword is Captain Karad.
In terms of experience, he is a person who is incomparably richer than Etria.
He is also the spiritual support of the knights, but to the point of answering like that.
“Whatever you imagine, you will see more. You will experience more than that.”
“… Having said that, I want to overcome it all the more.”
“We will overcome. Isn’t the head of the household and I going to make that happen?”
All knights and soldiers were concentrated here.
It will be a battle that has invested almost everything in Fiore.
It did not happen suddenly like the tragedy that happened in Lichtenau.
All in all, it seemed like a pretty positive situation.
“Captain Karad. I have something I want to ask you.”
“Please come to Xiamen.”
“Shien, that woman said that. That servant named Adele went around beating the beasts by herself.”
“… You mean against level 3 monsters?”
“no. They said it was level 2.”
The moment he heard that, Captain Karad frowned.
Because it’s so nonsense, because it’s nonsense that doesn’t even sound like words.
He was the one who barely endured the fact that he almost spat out swear words.
“It is nonsense.”
“Isn’t that right?”
“I admit that the skills of a young man named Adele are superior to that of a senior knight. But that doesn’t mean you can’t run all over the place between monsters. There is no business in front of numbers. It’s not just the knights forming formations and moving in groups.”
Karad said that and dismissed the possibility.
Without imagining that Adele, who would be at the banquet hall in Fiore, had really done it.

The place where the main character left. It was an opportunity for Sean.
Coincidentally, nobles who want to know about the second-class demon scene flock to her side.
Nobles close to Fiore tried to stop it, but it was impossible.
“What about Liechtenauer? It wasn’t any better than it is now. It’s because the second-class Demonic Landscape came out immediately after a battle against the 3rd-class Demonic Landscape.”
“Ahh. Does that mean Fiore has a very good chance of winning?”
“I think it will be like that for now.”
It won’t be easy. Wasn’t Shien himself on the battlefield right now?
While chatting with the nobles, Shien sneaked out of there.
Then, he approached Adele, who was watching him from a distance.
“Adele.”
“Yes, Shien.”
“Shall we go out and talk for a while?”
