The surroundings of her appearance became cluttered. Theresa looked at me with a kind smile.
“Sadin. Are you friends?”
Sardin reluctantly nodded. Unlike when dealing with Sardine, Charlotte said to her with a bright face.
“This is Teresa Lundell! I never thought I’d see you here… . I am Lynn Meiji’s younger sister, Charlotte Meiji!”
Her expression hardened for a moment, then she responded with a soft smile.
“ah… … . You are Rin’s sister. Yes, nice to meet you.”
I looked at the scene without speaking, and Theresa spoke to me first.
“That one?”
“… … This is Seil Sieghart.”
She stared at me intently. I asked.
“Why is that?”
From noble mtl dot com
“Oh, nothing. just… It’s kind of like the day is ripe.”
“… You are probably mistaken. Until now, I have lived only in the countryside on the outskirts, and now I have entered the capital.”
“okay. I guess… . By the way, if it’s Sieghart, it’s the Sieghard family I know, right?”
“That’s right.”
She smiled warmly and held out her hand. It was the opposite of what I knew.
She always treated me coldly at the warrior’s party. As a human being, or as a standard set by the person, the minimum kindness and the minimum courtesy that must be observed.
He treated me with just that much.
“I met the heir of a great family.”
However, since they are friends of the younger brother he loves, he must be treating them kindly.
Know.
That humans wear various types of masks.
This will also be one of the masks she is holding.
Same for me.
I also held her hand with a soft smile.
“I never thought I would actually meet the hero who defeated the demon lord and the leader of the imperial family’s knights… . I am honored.”
When she heard the words ‘defeat the devil’, she confirmed that her expression hardened again.
As expected, there must have been a story different from what was known to the Empire.
“hahahaha… … . Colleagues suffered I have nothing great.”
“Is that so? Can you tell us what your fight with the Demon Lord was like? I really liked talking about the warriors from long ago… … ”
Sardine, who had been listening to me, screamed out loud.
“A worm-like bastard who doesn’t even know this topic… dare… . Seil Sieghart! What qualifications do you and the like have to ask my sister about such a thing!”
I pretended to be embarrassed and sounded as pitiful as possible.
“ah… … I’m not like that… … . I just wanted to hear the saga. If I have committed a great disrespect, I apologize here and now… … . really… I’m really sorry… … .”
However, he couldn’t stand it and grabbed me by the collar, as if my acting only aroused his wrath.
“Did you think I would be fooled by that kind of acting! Get rid of that ignorant mug!”
Embarrassed, Teresa hurriedly stopped her sister.
“Sadin! What is this?”
“sister. This kid is all acting. i know… .”
Just then, a middle-aged man with gray hair approached from afar.
“What is going on?”
Theresa bowed her head politely.
“Uncle.”
Sadin also took the same action, hurriedly hurried to the collar. The man’s voice was low.
“I asked what was going on.”
“That is… … .”
When Sardine hesitated and couldn’t speak, he looked at me.
Snake-like eyes turned to me. An authoritative voice followed.
“name.”
“This is Seil Sieghart.”
A mischievous smile crept across the man’s lips.
“… Are you Sieghart?”
As I held my head stiffly, Charlotte next to me hurriedly whispered,
-hey! What are you doing with your head down! It’s Zenon Rundel, vice-head of the Duke of Rundel!
Despite Charlotte’s urgent cry, I didn’t lower my head.
Lowering your head is a form of politeness, isn’t it a must? I wonder if it’s the blood of the imperial family, is there such a thing as insulting nobles between the same nobles?
Well, I’m going to kill you for not lowering my head, what is it?
“You are bold.”
“… … ,”
“Are you not afraid? It’s Sieghart’s bloodline… … . Personally, I am curious.”
His eyes flashed terrifyingly. I didn’t know what he was thinking, but I was sure it wasn’t a good idea.
‘This guy must have made a contract with Dantalion too.’
It is a certain fact that Sardine Rundel is Dantalion’s contractor.
If so, it was highly likely that the entire Duke of Rundel was related to Dantalion.
“I’ll go.”
The man suddenly turned his back and walked away.
It wasn’t the reaction I expected, so I was rather taken aback.
I thought I would definitely pick up a pod and start a fight, but unexpectedly, it ended without anything happening.
Sardin Rundel followed the man.
“Then see you next time if you have a chance.”
Theresa struggled to smile and made her way through the crowd. Charlotte, who was next to me, glared at me.
“hey! Why are you doing this? Is it difficult to lower your head once? Or are you going to lose at least to the Duke of Rundel? I know you’re proud, but your opponent is the Lundell family. A duke, a duke! Do you know what I mean? If you pretend, nothing will be good for you.”
“Are you worried?”
“ha? Are you, are you, are you worried? I? you? what the. I’m dumbfounded. I’m just telling you because I don’t understand what you’re doing. Even if you don’t know the world, it seems like you don’t know anything. In any case, don’t ever think about fighting the Rundel duchy. If you want to stand on your feet and survive in this empire. That would be good for you.”
“Is the Duke of Lundel’s wealth strong?”
“He’s as strong as Gaju, the strongest sword master in the empire. In the past, you said you reached the end of the 8th circle, but I don’t know. How far have you reached now? Force is also power, but his disposition is so cold and cruel that he is a character that other nobles find difficult. So, in any case, please let go of your temper and be a little more flexible. Don’t even think about getting involved with them in the first place. No matter how much of a descendant of a hero you are, the world you live in is different from that of a ducal family. And what the hell did Sardine Lundell do to you, so you couldn’t eat it?”
Even though he said that, I could feel his concern for me.
Looking at this part, it seems that he is good at taking care of people secretly.
“just. You don’t like it. What they look like and what they do.”
“Arthur. Arthur. Even if I touch it, nothing good will come of it. You may be stronger in the academy, but you can never win in the empire no matter how hard you try. Sadin is almost confirmed to be the next head of the Duke of Rundel. Even if we can’t become friends, we shouldn’t be enemies.”
“Thanks for the advice.”
Certainly, the power of the Duke of Rundel seemed incomparable to that of other nobles.
Even the attitude of the nobles around them was evident. Of course, the Meiji family, the same duchy, would be the only ones who would receive similar treatment.
Rundel and Mage.
sword and magic.
Two families representing the Empire.
Nobles with the most power.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that he had the influence to keep the imperial family in check.
“wait for a sec.”
“Where are you going?”
“A bathroom.”
I left the hall and headed towards the hallway, leaving Charlotte behind. Because I saw Theresa heading here.
It seemed that he was going to rest in the guest room, and I decided that it was an opportunity for me.
There are many things to ask her from now on.
I made sure she headed to the room at the far end of the hallway.
After looking around for a while, I cast the mana-blocking spell all over the hallway and room. It was to prepare for any unforeseen circumstances.
After taking a breath, I opened the door.
Theresa, who had just been reclining in her chair, looked at me with a surprised face.
“You are Sardine’s friend Sieghart… … ?”
“hello.”
“That, yes. But why did you come here?”
“I can see you coming this way.”
Theresa’s face showed a look of bewilderment.
“So you’re saying you saw me come into this room? Why would you act like that… ?”
“I have something to tell you, Teresa.”
she said with a puzzled face. Since he is a friend of his younger sister, it seemed like he was trying to be as friendly as possible.
Seeing how Sadin treated me, it seemed like he was trying to instill a good image as much as possible.
“I’m sorry, but can’t we do it next time instead of now? i’m so tired right now And to come in like this without asking for the consent of the other party is, in the first place, quite disrespectful.”
However, I ignored her words and sat down on the prosthesis across from her.
Then he crossed his legs and looked at her. She looked at me wide-eyed, as if shocked at what the hell she had seen.
“Seil Sieghart. What are you doing?”
He seemed to be slowly getting annoyed. Naturally. From her point of view, it would only be seen as an ambiguous human being who could be called her sister’s friend, who entered the room without permission and made fun of it.
I slowly decided to raise the multiplier. There was nothing good about prolonging the time.
“I have a question. They say that the warrior party defeated the demon king, but no matter how much I think about it, it’s absolutely impossible in my opinion?”
Her attitude changed 180 degrees. Cold eyes look at me.
“What are you talking about knowing… ? don’t make me angry anymore Seil Sieghart. One last warning, don’t talk any more and get out of this room now. Otherwise… .”
“Otherwise, what are you going to do? Do you even want to kill me? Well, I’ve killed countless demons so far, so that shouldn’t be difficult.”
Her eyes narrowed coldly. Sharp living that blooms slowly.
“Humans, do you dare to say such a thing to me, who raised the sword to protect the people?”
“Ah, that sword was worn to protect the people. It’s ridiculous. A person who said he couldn’t kill a life and passed the responsibility on to someone else.”
Upon hearing that, a look of bewilderment came over her face.
“Uh, what is that… … .”
I smiled as I looked at her.
“Right. You’ve never killed a demon with your own hands.”
“W-what are you talking about! Never!”
“why. am i wrong? The head of the Imperial Knights has never killed a person before. That’s why you always asked me to finish the fight because you didn’t want your hands to get bloody when fighting the demons.”
Sensing something strange, she muttered quietly and looked at me.
“‘me’… Called?”
I unlocked the power.
“okay. me. I mean.”
A scar covering half of his face. However, the scars were smaller than before.
“long time no see. Teresa.”
Teresa’s face turned pale when she saw me.
“… Ah, ah, Abel Croy?”
