Episode 116 – It’s not as harsh here as I thought
#One
sibling.
It is a very subtle and mysterious word.
Even though they fight each other to death, they can’t let outsiders invade their territory.
Would a love-hate relationship be an appropriate expression?
Tirannis’ feelings were closer to hatred than love-hate, but-.
Obviously, before ‘that thing’ happened, the two were closer to normal brothers.
Thinking of that day alone made Tyrannis’s fists tense.
Years to shake your head and brush off your thoughts.
‘That poor fellow… … .’
It was an important mission.
A mission that would allow him to cement his place in the family.
The younger brother who eagerly followed was an idiot who didn’t even know how to protect himself.
It must have been since then that the guy who always studied was crooked.
“It’s a triple casting of 4 classes… … .”
An empty restaurant.
Tirannis rested his chin on his chin and looked blankly at the moment.
Now only 16 years old.
Something that neither he nor his great brother could have done.
What is this anxiety?
what… … This rising emotion.
It seemed that Invidea was already trying to capture Manus.
The weakling caught the devil and stopped the tricks of the suspicious church.
“Whoa-.”
I remembered the head of the house telling me to come to his office after the meal.
He took the glass of water that was beside him and gulped it down.
The emotions that had been boiling like burning went down coldly.
I’ll have to hit it once.
And I will check the authenticity.
As Caesar, whether he can go forward confidently.
Did you grow up to be a proudly recognized member of this family?
If that were the case, he would gladly forgive his brother.
The eldest son, Tyrannis, rose from his seat.
‘My test will be harsh. brother.’
I will make the most of the authority given to the eldest son.
The process of receiving his test and forgiveness will not be easy.
Now it was my turn to go on a mission.
“Confucius.”
“What’s going on?”
“What do you plan to do?”
“What?”
A wriggling shadow spoke to me as I moved my steps.
There is only one Umbra who asks his opinion.
Tyrannis asked one more question.
It’s not that you don’t know the shadow’s intentions.
The reason I asked the question was to organize my thoughts.
What should I do with that troublemaker younger brother?
In what way would I want to seek forgiveness from my younger brother?
“Shall we prepare for the ordeal?”
“… … no, no need Let me judge for myself.”
Forgiveness is asking with power.
At least, Tyrannis has been thinking that way.
Those without power just disappear into a handful of blood before they have time to ask for forgiveness.
Since you talked so confidently, you should be able to prove your skills.
“I will follow your orders.”
Tyrannis walked without speaking.
It was a good opportunity to test whether he had true courage and skill.
#2
The housekeeper, Laveth, spent time looking at the golden parchment.
Why does the time he waits for his two sons pass so slowly?
If there was magic that accelerated time, I wanted to use it without delay.
Maybe it’s because of what’s inside the golden parchment… … .
An old friend of his had occasionally made obnoxiously outrageous demands.
He did not even tell himself what he was looking at or what he was aiming for.
Beninitas also made no progress, probably because the information was not easy to access.
“My lord. I ask you to see the young masters.”
“Come in.”
The door opened and two sons entered.
Third, expressionless.
The first one full of dissatisfaction somewhere.
They’re children who wouldn’t hurt if you put them in their eyes, but as the head of the family, it’s also necessary to correct the wrongdoing.
Contrary to popular belief, Laves had a delicate and sensitive personality.
It was the same when dealing with children.
Strictly, but rather than hurting, I wanted to give a lesson.
His father did it, and so did his grandfather.
“Manus will come back in a little while.”
“-All right.”
Manus turned around again, and Wei also recognized the intention of the family head.
She led Manus out the door.
“It seems that the head of the household is really kind.”
“I agree.”
Manus also nodded lightly.
He also looked at the expression of his brother standing next to him.
His expression was distorted as if he were about to tell a bad story.
The family head would react more sensitively to such things.
In a way, it was a very strange thing.
The novels he read and the movies and dramas he watched even encouraged fights.
I realized once again that perception and prejudice were such scary things.
What are they talking about on the inside?
“The head of the family will choose the one who is good at admonishing. Because you are so delicate.”
“… … Did it happen to me too?”
“yes. Personally, I think Confucius is on the right path, and he will be proud of himself.”
Way laughed.
Seeing that smile, Manus turned his head.
Because I knew that her smile wasn’t just about joy.
Mistakes that Manus himself does not remember.
It was as if he was reprimanding all the repeats of his mistakes and rebelliousness.
She said no more.
There was no need to reveal the past of Confucius, who set his mind on the right path.
“Manus, come in now.”
A benevolent sound was heard from beyond the door.
I couldn’t hear what he was talking about, but when I opened the door, my older brother’s expression softened even more.
Is it the father too?
After all, the only place to come back and talk is family.
“Sit down. I will explain the mission from now on.”
“yes.”
“The mission is simple. Investigate disappearances in villages in the south. The deadline is one week. All you have to do is to select one platoon of magic corps, knights, and guardians.”
The two nodded.
Labeth held up a piece of parchment scribbled on in neat handwriting.
It’s probably something that has been sorted out about the mission.
“The command authority is jointly with Tyrannis and Manus. Who has more authority will be decided naturally.”
“-yes.”
Tyrannis nodded curtly.
It would be fair to give the firstborn a little more strength, but… … it all means
Manus also thought it was surprising, so he answered after a while.
“All right.”
“Departure is tomorrow. It should be ready by tonight.”
For a week-long journey, the time to prepare was tight.
I had to draw a route based on where the village was located.
Personnel had to be selected and personal belongings had to be packed.
We had to go to the site and discuss how to move.
In a situation where everything is undecided, we have to build up step by step.
Tyrannis nodded calmly, as if this was familiar.
Glancing at his younger brother sitting next to him, he was still expressionless.
‘What kind of influence can you, who have no experience, exert here?’
As he laughed inwardly, Manus had already started thinking in his head.
Make a plan and proceed step by step.
It was all too familiar to the tired mind of a member of society in a young body.
Besides, even in the military, which requires more than 90% of South Korean men to go there, there was a process of its own.
If you follow that, you will naturally see the way to this kind of mission.
Rabeth threw his gaze at Manus, who had already begun to worry, then looked at Tirannis.
“I believe you will do well as always.”
“Please leave it to me. Lord.”
“okay. Tirannis should go back now, and Manus should talk to me for a moment.”
Tyrannis rose from his seat without saying a word, bowed briefly and left.
Now there are only two left.
When Labeth reached out, a piece of parchment rolled up on the desk flew away.
Manus looked at it and secretly created wrinkles in his army.
That seal, that color of parchment.
I couldn’t know
It was the shape of the parchment that I had seen countless times on the monitor.
“… … It is the emblem of the imperial family.”
“You remember me. Yes, a letter came from the imperial family.”
Correspondence from the Emperor.
Since it wasn’t the emperor who brought envoys, it wouldn’t be a problem to be solved by risking the family’s honor.
However, the power of the imperial palace was not light enough to be ignored.
A letter from the head of the only empire on the continent.
There would not be a single vassal on the continent who would ignore that.
This is the case even in the Duchy of Caesar.
I couldn’t ignore the letter sent by the emperor himself.
“What is written on it?”
“They said they were giving a second test.”
[Interference begins.]
[A careful choice is required.]
The emerging message further confused Manus.
What kind of words did the emperor send by hand?
In the game, he always threw questions and hardships to users.
I wondered if that would be the case this time around too.
Rabeth’s mouth opened.
“The Emperor seems to be in a situation where he needs talented people for something.”
“Why don’t you look for it in the imperial palace?”
“The imperial palace is a place that protects the emperor and protects the country. It’s powerful, but it’s become a force that can’t go outside anymore.”
The Imperial Palace is the most powerful organization, and has the level of power to command the continent as a single force.
However, it could only be a deterrent, not a conqueror.
If they start moving, the entire continent will be thrown into chaos.
Was that why he was looking for the emperor’s sword instead of the imperial palace?
Secrets that did not appear in the original work were revealed one by one.
Intertwined relationships create great secrets, and great secrets lead to great events.
There are probably such stories on the road that Manus himself walks.
“The Emperor wants a well-polished sword. He was my old friend, but I still don’t know what’s inside.”
“That polished sword is… … .”
“okay. I’m talking about our great families.”
Ten families of wizards, guardians and warriors.
Are they trying to use those who are described as the ten pillars that support the empire?
Manus listened to the contents of the letter sent by the emperor and decided to guess.
“What is the content?”
“The content is the same as before. There was a story telling me to send you there.”
“In other words, this mission itself is the Emperor’s test.”
“okay. So we have to be more careful.”
No matter how much he was a Caesar and his talents blossomed, Manus was still young.
A situation where you don’t know when and where an unmanageable disaster may strike.
Laves spoke of his worries as a father before becoming the head of the household.
Manus nodded with a gentle smile.
I fully understand his concern.
But he knows that sometimes you have to be bold.
“I will do my job.”
“okay. If it’s a test, you should pass it with confidence.”
“Isn’t that right for your brother?”
Laves let out a strange laugh.
Maybe I’ve already told my brother.
His father only left cryptic remarks.
“Have a good time, you two.”
Manus nodded helplessly.
Now was the time to prepare.
It was a test outside the academy, so there was nothing I couldn’t do.
Besides, reward waits after such hard work.
he took a step
