155 – Interview
“Hey, I’m a warrior!”
It was a car that would make you sweat with your hands and feet in the dirt. Latera, who was crying with tears in her eyes, rushed towards Siron. Siron was struggling to keep from getting dirt on her, who was clinging to her like a cicada.
“Hey, you’re covered in dirt. Why are you doing that?”
“…Hero. Is this correct?”
Latera clung to Siron with a tearful expression on her face, and eventually hid behind him. Siron turned his gaze towards the approaching sign. A maid with sparkling blonde hair approached me at a slow pace.
“You cheeky little boy. I was wondering where you ran away.”
“Encia.”
After finishing his appetite, Siron wiped his hands with a towel soaked in water.
“Why is the child so scared? Did you two fight?”
“I don’t think there was a fight. I said I would just help you change clothes, but he got so shocked and ran away shouting your name.”
“Hero, you must not fall for the evil devil’s lies!”
Latera, who had already crawled up to her shoulder, pointed a pointed finger at Encia.
“Well, that evil devil startled me with a flash of lightning! He and… the insolent little boy! He called me the insolent little boy!”
“hmm…”
“If I had just wanted to change my clothes, I wouldn’t have called you a bratty kid, much less said that you ran away!”
“Oh my, did I say that?”
Encia covered her mouth and trembled.
“But even if I said that, it’s true that I was trying to help you recover. I spoke harshly. It can’t be helped, right? That little boy is openly hostile to me and Ophelia.”
“…”
Siron quietly listened to the conversation between the two and his expression hardened.
When we returned from Braham together, I had expected, and could tolerate, that Latera and Siriel were not on good terms.
Siriel lived in the main house rather than a separate building, and since Latera realized that her actions following Siron were related to a kind of envy rather than love, she believed that time would slowly solve the problem.
However, the relationship with the maid who was taking care of the dishes in the separate building was not taken into consideration. Since he was called Latera and had the title of angel, he instinctively loathed the devil.
So it wasn’t anyone’s fault that the two didn’t get along well. The fact that devils and angels do not get along has become common knowledge in poetry.
“…I don’t think Encia bothered Latera on purpose.”
“Yo, hero! So you’re saying I’m lying?”
“Not even that.”
Siron removed the latera that was stuck to his face and held it up. Then he headed straight towards Encia.
“W-what are you doing?!”
“Stay still, Encia stay there too.”
“…young master?”
Encia blinked and picked up Latera, who was curled up.
“What do you think? Can you still feel the lightning?”
“…little bit.”
“Encia, what about you?”
“My arm… feels a little tingly.”
Encia answered with a puzzled expression. The cowering and trembling angel radiated tremendous divine power in and of itself, and if it weren’t for Siron’s orders, I felt impulsive enough to want to throw it away right away.
Siron, who noticed that expression, accepted Latera from Encia, and Latera wrapped her legs around Siron’s waist.
“There is no way Encia, who decided to actively cooperate with me, would intentionally harass you. There is no way Latera would intentionally unleash her divine power on Encia.”
“then…”
“What can I do? They just don’t get along. Encia, I will take care of this guy. You can go out somewhere with Ophelia.”
“really?”
“Okay, take good care of yourself. Priests have started to spread around here recently.”
Siron rummaged through his chest and pulled out a pocket full of gold coins. Encia was shocked and then smiled brightly.

Siron patted Latera, who was crying, on the back and walked around the garden of the mansion. Latera was still clinging to Shiron, as if she didn’t like it so much.
“Can’t I come down slowly?”
“…Can’t we just stay like this a little longer?”
“Even though he looks like a child, I thought he was mentally mature.”
“But, if I do this, I feel at ease.”
Latera murmured as she rubbed her cheek against her chest. She too found this behavior childish and childlike. However, I don’t know if it’s because of the unfamiliar environment or because the reaction that has been lonely for 500 years has been driven away at once, but her instincts don’t want to be separated from Shiron.
Become a great guardian angel. Inside Laterra, the desire to show a reliable image as a colleague of the warrior and the desire to act like a child that she hadn’t been able to do so far collided, and on such an emotionally unstable day, she often showed a childlike side to Shiron.
“Hero. But where are you going now?”
“To see someone who can solve my troubles.”
Shiron walked from the garden toward the main building. Numerous servants began to pour their eyes on Shiron, who was holding Laterra. Shiron let go of that gaze and approached the butler who met him.
“I have something to discuss with Eldrina-nim.”
“I’ll show you to the drawing room.”
After receiving the guidance of the butler, I waited for a while to sit in the drawing room. Eldrina entered in a simple dress.
“long time no see.”
Shiron got up from his seat and bowed his head. Even Latera sees Shiron’s actions and imitates them.
“How was your trip after a long time?”
“Thanks to that, I enjoyed it. Every moment was so intense that it felt so short.”
Eldrina smiled brightly and then covered her mouth with her fan. Because Hugo lived such a busy life, Eldrina also lived a life without rest.
It is a vacation that is like a welcome rain in a dry daily life. Hugo’s face, which I met at the training center yesterday morning, was dark and burnt, and the marks were clearly visible on his face, as if he were wearing sunglasses.
As it was the first time in a long time that she had an intimate moment with her husband, Eldrina felt immense gratitude to Siron for allowing her to spend that moment.
So much so that he doesn’t immediately mention the 70 million shilling credit card bill.
“By the way, who is that kid next to you? This is my first time seeing you.”
However, the girl sitting quietly next to Siron could not be ignored.
“Is there anything hidden…”
“no.”
“I haven’t even finished my sentence properly. I’m embarrassed that you cut me off so abruptly.”
“I know what you want to say. Common sense tells me how old I am, but it’s such an absurd story.”
Siron frowned.
“I’m eighteen. Eighteen. To have a child like this, you would have had to have gotten married at around five years old and started an affair right away.”
“…I’m sorry. Your top is so presbyopic.”
“I guess it’s because I went through a lot of hard work.”
“…Your younger sister, Lucia, still hasn’t shed her childlike appearance.”
Eldrina, unable to meet his gaze, smiled sheepishly.
“So, what on earth did you come to visit me for? You usually walk around so much that it’s hard to even see your face.”
“Actually, it’s because of this child.”
Latera blinked and looked at Eldrina and Shiron alternately.
“It’s about the treatment of this child. Could you please lend me a helper?”
“…”
Latera was relieved as she rubbed her chest. Fortunately, no words came out of Siron’s mouth asking if he could take care of Latera instead.
“It’s not difficult to lend a few servants. If you want to select a person to take care of the child, you can give it as much as you like.”
Eldrina said while looking at her bewildered purple eyes.
“Baby. Come here.”
“Are you talking about me?”
“Go ahead.”
As Shiron patted the back, Latera hesitantly approached Eldrina’s side.
Eldrina lightly tapped her knee and gently hugged Laterra.
“What’s your baby’s name?”
“My name is… Laterra.”
“That’s a pretty name. Her hair is shiny and her complexion is bright. It doesn’t smell… it doesn’t.”
Eldrina buried her nose in the top of Latera’s head and laughed. Latera, who was horrified by this, raised a question mark towards Siron.
‘Hero. This woman is strange. Why do you smell? Are you a pervert who is lustful for young girls?’
‘…I don’t know either.’
Eldrina, seeing Siron unable to keep his mouth shut, blushed and protested.
“I was just making sure it didn’t smell like him.”
“I guess you have a very good sense of smell?”
“I made a contract with a spirit during my travels. The spirit is telling me that even though he is not born with Prien’s blood, this child is by no means ordinary.”
“I see.”
“It’s okay with the servant. If I can afford it, I’ll recruit someone to take care of this child.”
“Then, can I just leave?”
“…no.”
Eldrina said while fanning her reddened face.
“I just wanted to see you too.”
“…What kind of business do you have?”
“It’s the story of Siriel and Lucia.”
From noble mtl dot com
“Why are they?”
As Shiron questioned, Eldrina’s fanning began to accelerate. It seemed to cool the boiling heat, and Shiron’s head bobbed along with it.
“Truancy.”
“yes…?”
“It’s not just Lucia. They say Siriel was also absent from school. And that wasn’t just a day or two, it was an entire 15-month period.”
As I had just returned from vacation, the notice left in my office distracted me from the lingering memories of my trip.
“It’s difficult to do this. I don’t know about Lucia, but Siriel needs to graduate from the academy properly, so won’t that be a setback if she misses classes for a month?”
“…I’m sorry about that.”
Instead of making excuses, Shiron decided to bow his head. Even if Siriel secretly following Siron was out of his control, it was something he could have prevented if he wanted to.
Eldrina sighed as Siron apologized obediently.
“Like Lucia, it’s not because I don’t want to raise Siriel ignorantly. As someone who is called the mother of those children, I think I can turn a blind eye to small deviations.”
“…”
“However, Siriel is the child who will inherit his knighthood in the future.”
Although military force was important in the operation of the Knights Templar, it was also so complex that the ability to manage people and network could not be taken lightly.
“I hope that the child will get to know many people at the academy and learn the skills of living in a group and surviving. You don’t necessarily have to get a diploma, but you don’t have much time left to attend the academy. “They are thrown out into society without the skills and relationships they should have built up.”
“…I agree with him.”
Siron stiffened his face and nodded.
“I will scold you well. If you want, I will scold you. I will just scold you so that you can never follow me again, and I will spank your ass so that you cannot deviate again…”
“Is that the best you can do?”
Eldrina cast a thin glance at Siron, who was tapping his fingers. Siron noticed that the purpose of the woman in front of him was not just advice.
“Then. Is there anything else you would like?”
“I don’t really want anything grand.”
Just a few seconds. Eldrina calculated whether now was the time to put an end to the great plan.
“Become engaged to Siriel.”
It’s coming guys the moment is coming.
Its time.
