Episode 80.
Duke Sarkid sighed and asked me.
“Please explain on behalf of my father.”
“That… I sparred for a while. No, I’d rather say hello than that. It is called Suhar Caldert.”
Duke Sarkid, who was in agony for a moment, clapped his hands and smiled.
“Yes, you are the youngest member of the Caldert family. I heard that he was his father’s disciple. however···.”
I looked around the place where the Duke of Sarkid sparred.
“Um… I may be rude, but what is your realm?”
Duke Sarkid’s hand was shaking.
Well, becoming a sword master at a young age like me is rare even on the continent.
From nob le mt l. co m
No, it’s something that rarely happens.
The Duke of Sarkid seemed to be the best sword expert.
“I am the Sword Master.”
I said it honestly because I had no reason to hide it.
Surprised Duke Sarkid.
Duke Sarkid spoke to me in a trembling voice.
“Could it be… you…”
What are you trying to say?
Are you trying to recruit me?
“Are you married?”
“yes?”
I was taken aback by the unexpected sound.
***
Alice Sarkid was looking out the window and noticed something strange.
He had seen his grandfather Keron Sarkid sparring with someone else.
“wow···.”
It was Alice who only thought of her grandfather as the best.
However, the opponent was also boiling with grandfather.
At least in Alice’s eyes, it seemed that way.
“Oh, it’s Dad.”
After a while, his father appeared and talked to him, and they went inside the mansion together.
“That means it must have gone to Dad’s office.”
Alice hurriedly ran to the office.
It was because he wanted to check the face of a prosecutor who had skills equal to his grandfather.
***
“So, your age…”
“Eighteen.”
“Yes, eighteen. Why don’t you get engaged to my daughter when you’re younger?”
If it was the daughter of the Duke of Sarkid, I saw it in the garden.
He was a cute kid.
If there’s a problem.
“Ah, is the age difference a big number?”
It is thought to be a large number.
That is, if you are as old as the age difference.
The problem is that my daughter is nine years old.
“I will definitely refuse.”
Among the nobles, it is said that there are many cases of marriage from a young age, but I didn’t want to do that.
furthermore.
‘Even if I get married to the daughter of the Duke of Sarkid.’
I have no choice but to go into the Deril son-in-law.
He is the Duke of Sarkid and has only one daughter.
That would make me the next Duke of Sarkid.
‘Even the count had a lot of work, but the duke…’
It is a meeting that should never happen.
It was an invitation to hell.
“I don’t like my daughter, is this…”
The Duke of Sarkid, who was shaking his horse’s tail.
I was sweating profusely at the sight of it.
‘Mistress, what are you asking me to do?’
Should I do a night run?
It’s a big deal if you put a message in the family.
He said it with the nuance of accepting it as much as possible.
“Could I answer you later?”
The Duke of Sarkid pondered for a moment.
Even so, the Duke of Sarkid agreed, probably thanks to the atmosphere that seemed to be acceptable.
“Three days at the most. I hope you decide in it. son-in-law!”
A name that seems to have already been decided.
The door opened and the protagonist of the story appeared.
The cute pigtailed boy I saw in the garden.
Duke Sarkid smiled and tried to hug him, but was pushed back by the kid.
“hello. My name is Elise Sarkid.”
Duke Sarkid just cleared his throat as if he felt sorry for being rejected.
“Yes, nice to meet you.”
The Duke of Sarkid, who was next to him, said with a smile.
“Ellis, this is your fiancée.”
From nob le mt l. co m
No, I never said to do it.
Elise lowered her gaze and blushed slightly.
“Then, I’m off.”
Embarrassed, he ran away.
“hahahaha, Alice seems to like you.”
Duke Sarkid tapping on my shoulder.
I had no answer but to stare at the duke with a longing gaze.
***
That evening, I decided to run away.
give away the night
He tried to get out of the Sarkid family’s mansion, gradually reducing his presence as much as possible.
However, I felt a presence behind me.
“Suhar, what are you doing at night?”
When I turned my head to check, it was a swordsman.
‘Well, if it’s not the Sword Master, he won’t recognize me.’
I said to the Sword Saint as if he was in trouble.
“Duke Sarkid keeps trying to marry me to his daughter.”
“What!”
After thinking about it for a while, it would be difficult if even the Sword Saint agreed.
“He’s trying to send my granddaughter to that bastard!”
It’s hard to say that he’s a bastard.
In an instant, the Sword Master’s expression changed.
“But are you saying you hate my granddaughter enough to run away at night?”
“It’s not that I don’t like my granddaughter…”
I didn’t want to be like a duke.
When you get married, you become a duke almost as a fait accompli.
Of course, the fact that the granddaughter was too young was also a problem.
“I feel bad all of a sudden. Is there anyone you like?”
A person passed by at the sudden question of the Sword Master.
I didn’t know that one person would immediately jump out at that question, so I became rigid.
“There must be someone you like.”
I guess it is.
“Come on, get out of here. What if the moment you fall for the person you like and set your eyes on my granddaughter…”
“I am not that kind of guy.”
“Well, that’s it. Go ahead. I helped my family, but I feel sorry for having to expel them in such a hurry.”
I ran away hastily.
***
I slept in a hastily caught inn.
Perhaps because they were caught in a hurry, the facilities at the inn were very bad.
It was nothing more than a place to sleep.
“For now, it must be the free city I was begging for.”
Traveling alone seems to be inconvenient.
It would have been better to have Patrick with him, but Patrick was no longer alone.
Because there is a lover called Messiah.
‘And since time has passed, it must be in the Empire.’
If anything, it was clear that if Messiah and Patrick were to get married, Patrick would stay in the Empire.
“I’ll have to go alone with Haru.”
I was wondering where to go first.
Fortunately, there is no branch in the Free City.
precisely withdrew.
“It was all because of that stupid bastard.”
Of course, there was also a branch in the free city that I was looking for.
However, he summoned the devil of resurrection, but he was killed without being persuaded.
Maybe he thought he couldn’t do the same job twice, and the branch near the Free City withdrew because of that failure.
“hmm···.”
Organizations existed all over the continent.
Wherever you go, everything is there.
That made me even more worried.
“As expected… I wonder if the Holy Empire is good.”
The organization has often shown an attempt to exploit the devil.
That being said, the Epia Holy Empire, where many people can deal with demons, could be the biggest enemy of the organization.
“My enemy’s greatest enemy will be my greatest ally.”
With that in mind, the first priority was to attack the branch of the Holy Empire of Epia.
In addition, the Holy Empire of Epia was also famous for its many tourist spots boasting beautiful scenery.
There was a saying that people who visited tourist spots in the Holy Empire often said.
“It is an arrangement made by God.”
I can’t go to a place like that.
I decided to leave the Jordon Free City first for the Holy Empire of Epia.
***
He stopped at the Jordon Free City, took Har, and started traveling to the Holy Empire.
I cooked in my spare time while traveling to the Holy Empire.
It was Har and I who tasted it.
This time, I cooked a little more challenging dish and handed it to Har.
Haru, who was sniffing, took a bite of the dish I made.
and spit it out
“what’s the matter?”
It smelled good and looked fine.
Haru pushed the plate towards me.
It’s as if you want to taste it and tell me.
“It’s strange.”
The moment I took a bite, I immediately spit it out.
It had an indescribable taste.
“Eh, it’s okay. It’s really tasteless.”
This dish also failed.
Today’s rice has become beef jerky again.
I picked out a few chunks of jerky, the big ones, and threw them to Har.
It was only then that Haru was eating the jerky with a satisfied expression.
“Really, how many times have you failed?”
Until then, I hadn’t tasted it, but I noticed it by smell and appearance.
This time, I was looking forward to it because it smells and looks good.
But it was still a bummer.
“Maybe I don’t have a talent for cooking.”
I especially missed Patrick.
I missed good food.
“When the hell are you arriving?”
I haven’t seen the village in a long time.
From nob le mt l. co m
Now I want to eat a dish made by people.
Except for emergency food like beef jerky.
Hardo seemed depressed a few days ago, probably thinking the same thing.
“But what should I do?”
I thought of a branch of an organization that exists in the Episian Holy Empire.
Unlike other branches, this branch was exposed on the outside.
It could have been quite a fuss.
“But since I have connections, will they believe me if I explain it?”
It is because they have affection for facing the devil together.
Har suddenly ran out.
“uh? Haruya, where are you going?”
And immediately, I felt the smell of delicious food.
“Harya, go with me!”
There is food.
Hastily followed Har.
He was excellent while checking the traces of Har, who started first.
And a commotion was felt in the distance.
“The people who were doing the food must have found Har.”
On the surface, Haru is a mutation of the silver wolf.
it’s a monster
It was only natural that there would be a commotion.
The speed was further increased to prevent an unexpected disaster from occurring.
And when I arrived, there were people who were different from my thoughts.
“bandit?”
From nob le mt l. co m
Numerous hairy people who have built weapons against Har.
Judging by the clothes and appearance, he was a bandit.
“Are you a bandit?”
But the hairy ones who didn’t listen to me were in a confrontation with Har in fear.
I cried out louder than before.
“Hey, are you a bandit!”
“Boss, there are people over there!”
be the boss
This was enough for bandits to be sure.
He said as he went in between Har and the hairy hair.
“hey. Let’s get some rice.”
It doesn’t matter if it’s a bandit.
Rice came first.
Haru was not losing sight of the bandits’ food, probably thinking the same thing as me.
“who are you!”
“It’s just that I’m a tourist and I’m so hungry.”
I am not hungry, but I am hungry for delicious food.
And that rice is the rice that satisfies that.
“What if you don’t like it?”
“Then… I can’t help it.”
Bandits also need to stand on the side of being taken.
Come to think of it, bandits attack private houses and inflict pain.
This is the punishment for such bandits.
“If you move, it hurts.”
He lifted the stones around him with his telekinesis.
And threw it at the bandits at high speed.
The bandits were unable to react and passed out after being stoned.
“Now.”
They stole all the delicious-smelling food and ran away.
Haru also followed me.
After a certain distance, we sat down and ate our food.
The food I ate after a long time tasted good.
It made me want to take the bandit who cooked this dish with me.
“But he’s a bandit…”
A good idea came to my mind.
A very good idea came to me to get rid of the branch without fuss.
“If it goes according to my plan.”
Two birds with one stone could have happened.
“Okay, let’s try it.”
It was necessary to eat all the rice and quickly go to the Holy Empire of Epia.
“Let’s go, to the capital of the Holy Empire of Epia!”
As soon as I got to the capital, I had something to do.
