Episode 101
6th Candidate (1)
Suseon Palace.
Niel Ragnar Tone, better known by the nickname ‘Bingryong’, was standing on the terrace on the second floor overlooking the garden.
Anger radiated from his face, which was slightly covered with a fan, which is popular in the Orient.
“It looks like your friend hasn’t come yet. The other 9 dragons also attended, but the younger junior was so late. It’s as obvious as being out of habit.”
In fact, if you look closely, Julius and the plum princess came too soon, not like them.
Niel didn’t care about that at all and was intent on putting Theo down.
“mom.”
Ray, who was standing beside him, stared at Niel.
The face, which still did not know the emotion, looked either fierce or expressionless.
“It will be an official statue soon. I want to pay attention to expressions.”
“Princess.”
“Why?”
“My friend. Don’t ignore it.”
“… … .”
Niel was stunned for a moment.
Thanks to this, the face that appeared was that of a typical daughter-in-law mother.
widely!
“What is he saying now! Aren’t you nasty! I’m the one who took your place!”
“It wasn’t my place.”
“Not your place! How long have you been suffering… … !”
Niel was well aware of how much Ray had suffered all this time.
Isn’t it a child who was born with a palatine artery and lived a terminally ill life?
The pain he had suffered while overcoming it was so painful that he, who was watching next to him, felt the same pain.
Then I finally wanted to see the light.
A bastard suddenly appeared at the flowering ceremony and took the place that Ray should have.
A bastard who has not been able to stand out in the meantime.
“Where is that? A few days ago, Kyle called the boy to the anti-sword cat separately. He gave one of the swords he collected. Even though you are there… … !”
However, there was something else that hurt Niel the most.
anti-sergeant.
An incident that shook Winterler was about to happen.
Despite the fact that Ray still hasn’t been able to properly wield a sword from Kyle, except for the 3rd Flowering Ceremony.
But,
“yes. right. I suffered greatly.”
“then… … !”
“But Theo worked harder than that.”
“what?”
“I know. What a training maniac Theo is.”
“… … .”
“So I don’t hate Theo. rather respect it Great, Theo.”
During the Flowering Ceremony with Theo, Ray remembered Theo’s thoughts on the sword without a break.
“So don’t hate Theo. Then I will hate you too.”
“You say that now… … !”
“Really.”
Niel was moved again, but he couldn’t say anything as he was looking at Ray’s calm eyes.
I just let out a deep sigh.
The daughter, who looked very much like herself, could not be stopped once she started to be stubborn.
“Ew! yes. Got it, got it.”
Chow!
Niel opened the fan again and covered his mouth.
“But just because I am your friend, don’t force me to care for you unconditionally. Because I intend to evaluate Theo as I am.”
A smile bloomed on Ray’s lips.
“yes. That’s enough. My mom will like it when she sees Theo.”
“… … Bad support anyway.”
Niel pursed his lips.
‘Sometimes there was only a mother, and she only sang a song. Now I just want to sing Theo, Theo, Theo.’
In fact, Niel wasn’t the only one who hated Theo.
No, on the contrary, thank you very much.
He was a grateful child who became the first friend to Ray, who couldn’t approach others easily.
‘But that’s it, and this is this!’
Niel was burning his parents’ hearts.
“Now you are coming.”
Suddenly, the banquet hall became cluttered and silence fell.
Everyone’s eyes turned toward the entrance.
With a slight smile on Ray’s face,
“How are you?”
Niel made a pretty interesting expression as he watched Theo enter the banquet hall.
* * *
‘It’s still uncomfortable.’
Theo entered the banquet hall without showing much expression even as he adjusted his tight clothes here and there.
“Look, son. Everyone is looking at you, enchanted by your son’s dignified figure. Whoops.”
Cecilia, who was escorted by Theo and entered with her, smiled while covering her mouth with a fan.
Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com
Like a fan made of peacock feathers.
As expected, the product she launched while starting her business this time.
The robe worn by Theo and Cecilia’s dress and accessories were all the same.
“Some people look at it with longing, while others look at it with checks and searches. Oh, I don’t know why, but it’s staring at your son. Do you think your son has usurped his place? It is clear that he is a really stupid and short-sighted person.”
so that others cannot hear it.
Cecilia continued speaking quietly so that only Theo could hear.
“From now on, your son has to change all of those gazes to one. Can you please?”
There is only one gaze.
Theo remembered the stares Kyle was receiving from his family.
Awe.
Could I get it from other people in the future?
It was clear that there was a long way to go.
“Theo, you’re here.”
“Theo!”
“It’s been a while since I saw you. How have you been?”
At that time, three people approached Theo.
Even if not all of them are as good as Theo, the children who are in full swing.
“Son, who are these people?”
“My friends, mother. This is Erica and Holkes from Ranke, and this is Wellington from Narcio.”
Perhaps because it was Ray’s birthday party, all the motives of this flowering ceremony were gathered.
Everyone seemed to be in a good mood, probably because they had already come and talked a lot about this and that.
“These are the friends you told me to introduce you to before. Nice to meet you. My name is Cecilia from Dongbaek Palace.”
Wellington was the first to bow gracefully.
“this! I thought Prince Theo had a pretty sister hidden away, but it was his mother. I was about to commit rudeness. It’s called Wellington. Feel free to call me Well.”
“oh? Oh ho ho! It is said that Narcio Sogajou’s speech lifts people up and down, so I guess that was true.”
“It hurts my heart to hear you say that.”
“Hmm? Why?”
“I said this with all my heart, but you misinterpreted my meaning… … .”
“Oh my goodness. Oh ho ho ho!”
Cecilia smiled happily as if she was really happy.
It was to the point where Theo laughed beside him.
I thought there was no other fox.
At that time, Holcus suddenly held out a sketchbook and a felt-tip pen stiffly with a tense face.
Cecilia wanted something else, so she opened her eyes wide.
“L, I’m a fan! Please give me one autograph!”
“Pan… … ?”
Cecilia’s eyes widened at the unexpected words.
Theo’s and Wellington’s gazes also naturally turned there.
Only Erica sighed heavily in the middle, as if in pain.
“Yes! Cecilia-sama’s play, which came out through editing, has been covered! In particular, the final tear scene in ‘The Return of the Prodigal Son’ while being held in the arms of the prodigal son was so impressive that I replayed it several times! Other than that, I was deeply impressed with ‘The Magician Who Spits Talent’ and ‘The Ranker Who Lives Three Times’, and… … !”
“oh. All of that is over 20 years old, shame on you.”
Contrary to what he said, Cecilia was receiving a sketchbook and a felt-tip pen with a warm smile.
“Did you say Holcus Ranke?”
“Yes! That’s right!”
“Please continue to be close to my son from now on.”
Cecilia signed the sketchbook and added the phrase ‘Have a nice day today’.
Holcus received it and became a face that seemed to have the whole world.
“… … When did you see that?”
“yes? didn’t i tell you? I usually like classic masterpieces. Among them, I was a fan of Cecilia-sama. Have you heard of the Cecil style?」
“I don’t know… … ?”
「Ugh. Anyway, stop going crazy with the sword. See what’s going on in the world, huh? Enjoy some culture and arts, huh? Anyway, even the brain is filled with muscles.”
For a moment, Erica had a strong urge to punch that big brother in the groin.
“Originally, Cecilia-sama was the greatest trendsetter until 20 years ago, that’s what I mean. All the clothes you wear are out of stock, and there are no accessories that you wear on stage, so you can’t sell them? At the time, I couldn’t hear the stories of husbands going around saying that they were getting them and giving them to their wives. … !”
“Stop making noise.”
“Well, at any rate, he was the best and then suddenly retired. This is all you need to know. It wasn’t long before I found out I was also Theo’s mother.”
In any case, it was surprising that he knew everything about trends and famous things.
‘But what I’m doing is young… … . Seeing things like that, it seems like they are saying that they want to become an insider. Am I right?’
Erica thought about this and that while bowing her head to Cecilia.
“This is Erika Ranke.”
While the greetings of Theo and his friends were busily coming and going,
Other eyes in the banquet hall were focused on it.
-Mrs. Cecilia… … No, should I say Dongbaek Palace now? After all, was he that beautiful?
-That’s right. It was difficult to talk to him because he frowned so much every time. Now, what should I say, that the Shinsoo has become clear? The son’s affairs are going well, and the wife’s face is also bright.
-I can see why the head of the family was so in love at the time.
-Yeah. Who would look at that face and think he’s over 40?
-Even if it wasn’t for the head of household, at least once… … .
– Where are these men really looking at!
-Ah, ah! So, you’re wrong! wife! wife! aaagh!
The men who had been staring blankly at Cecilia were dragged by their respective wives or lovers by the ear lobe.
– I think I’m seeing that dress for the first time. Where are you from?
-Yeah. Shall I ask?
– I know, I know. Before, there was a rumor that the owner of Dongbaek Palace was looking for real estate to open a boutique shop. Maybe it’s something there?
-Oh, really?
-I think those ornaments are pretty too. can we get it together?
The young ladies’ eyes were drawn to the dress and accessories that Cecilia was wearing.
– Nice… … army.
– Please remain elegant. Is the bowl you were born with different?
-Where can I get clothes?
-I heard you use a really good sword.
The spirits were not only interested in Theo’s clothes, but also the sword decorated with fancy decorations.
Each of them, for various reasons, carefully examines Theo and Cecilia’s every move.
And,
Some of them had completely different goals.
hawk.
-I heard that Prince Theo has no fiancée. I know you don’t even date anyone.
-So ask now and it will come back big!
The fact that he has already received Kyle’s approval means that there is no need to doubt Theo’s future.
Moreover, there was even a rumor going around that Theo would be adopted as the adopted son of the Maehwa Palace.
The aristocrats, who brought their daughters who had reached their marriageable age, tried to arrange a place with Theo somehow.
The hawks were looking for an opportunity to get close to Cecilia.
However, they couldn’t see any opportunity, and Julius and the plum palace were also looking for an opportunity to cling to Theo at any time, so it was difficult for everyone to move hastily.
-this… … .
– When to go… … ?
An unexpected game of notice.
That was then.
Ignoring the notice of others, someone suddenly interrupted Theo and the others.
“Hey.”
-Me, me… … !
– What is that guy doing again!
A man with a languid face and eyes full of decadence.
It was Navan Bacchus.
“Do you want to talk? main. army?”
Then, everyone’s eyes turned to Theo,
‘Lord, lord?’
Holcus’ eyes widened.
