Episode 92
Sylvia was cleaning out the garden that she couldn’t finish yesterday.
The bush, which was messy with familiar hand movements, turned into a circle like a soft cushion.
“Fortunately, it wasn’t damaged much.”
Helen, who was assisting from behind, walked over to her side.
“I know. If you work a little harder, you might be better than before.”
Sylvia smiled softly and picked up the scissors. She cleaned up the messy places as if she was trying to erase all the traces of the cards that Raiden had come and played.
“There, sir.”
“yes?”
“Is it okay if I leave the master like that?”
Helen’s face was gray as ashes. It seemed that he couldn’t sleep properly because of his worries. The other maids were similar, so they blinked their eyes at the same time.
“Anyway, stopping the gladiators… .”
“I thought so too at first.”
Sylvia gave the scissors to Helen and nodded.
“It has to be stopped somehow. I thought we should never let the gladiators proceed. I was just going to see my father.”
“But why… .”
“Leon. That little boy has become the face of a prosecutor.”
“ah… .”
“Before I left on my first mission, I had something to say to the boy. I want you to proudly live like the swordsman of the old Sieghard.”
She turned around, made eye contact with Helen, and smiled at the maids.
“Raon is living a much more wonderful and proud life than what I said. I am so ashamed of who I am now.”
“lady… .”
“If a child makes a face like that, and the mother doesn’t believe it, what will she do? and… .”
Sylvia raised her lips and looked at the back of the annex where Raon was.
“Like Helen, I had a feeling that everything would be really good when Raon said it was okay. All we have to do is trust him, smile and wait.”
* * *
Raon memorized all the information about Raiden that Judiel had given him and then burned it.
I had never actually seen Raiden’s katana technique, but the details were so detailed that it seemed as if they were being drawn in my head.
‘I can practice like this.’
Since the goal was to crush Raiden with ordinary swordsmanship and the soft sword technique and garambo technique, having this information makes it much easier to prepare for the fight.
Based on Judiel’s information, he started training by slightly changing the flow of footwork and swordsmanship.
By imagining the movement of the enemy, swinging the sword, and using the foot technique, the movement became much more systematized.
Whoa!
A thin chill rose from the ice flower bracelet while he was in full swing in water lilies.
– You’re really sweet.
Lars chuckled and chuckled.
– It’s pitiful to have to put such an effort into dealing with garbage. If it was the real king, I would have frozen it to the bone with just one breath.
“Even if we fight right now, it’s easy to defeat him.”
Raon exhaled and pushed out Lars, who was exhaling his breath.
“The important thing is to defeat him overwhelmingly. His sword couldn’t even touch my body.”
– I don’t understand. Isn’t it enough to win?
“no.”
He shook his head. If it’s a simple matchup, it doesn’t matter how you win, but this time the situation is different.
“As I came into contact with Raiden, me and the annex became targets for direct and direct followers. Even if we win this gladiator and get out of the dangers of the battle, there is a chance that others will be able to target us.”
In any family, there is a high and thick wall between the direct line and the collateral line. It is so thick that it cannot penetrate the wall for a famous family like Sieghart.
Direct lines and followers of such families do not want collaterals to reach their position. Even if those were those who were once direct.
‘That’s why I have to show you.’
I need to make it clear to Glenn that I’m more useful than my direct line.
-Since ancient times, humans have inherited the blood of their ancestors. It also had thicker blood. Not knowing that it’s the same red. My guys aren’t vampires either. It’s a dirty, dirty tradition.
“For the first time, I agree with you.”
It was ridiculous that he had the same thoughts as this demon who bursts with anger every moment, and it made me laugh out loud.
-work hard. After all, everything about you will be yours.
Lars left those words and went back into the bracelet.
“Hey. It’s also the ability to make people fall in love again with just one word.”
Raon smiled coldly and stood up. As I tried to practice again, I felt the presence of someone approaching.
‘It’s not Judiel.’
It wasn’t Sylvia or Helen, but the presence was very familiar. While I was still waiting, a little doll appeared.
“uh?”
Blind eyes, fluttering silver hair, and pure white skin. The person approaching the vacant lot was Runan.
“Lunan?”
“yes.”
Runan hugged the furoshiki with something inside and walked softly like a cat. He came over and sat down next to the tree.
“Why are you here… .”
“fight.”
It seems that Luna already knew that Raon was fighting Raiden. Of course, it wasn’t just a fight, it was a gladiator.
“That’s why I came.”
She began to untie the furoshiki she had brought with her little hands.
“Well… .”
Raon, who was looking at Runan, felt many eyes and lifted his head. Behind the walls, rocks and trees, Sylvia, Helen, and the maids were watching here.
‘Anyway, those people.’
I thought it was getting serious, but it was quickly released. They are really weird people.
“done.”
He turned his attention to Luna’s voice. Inside the well-wrapped furoshiki was an ice cream box that she carried like a treasure.
widely.
As Runan opened the box’s lid, five ice cream balls, larger and sparkling than they had seen before, let out a faint chill.
“eat.”
Runan held out the box with the lid open. Her eyes, which had sunk fiercely, sparkled like ice cream. It was like eating whatever you want.
“Well.”
Raon looked at the ice cream for a moment without touching it.
“eat.”
As he stood still, Runan waved his hand. Those eyes made me feel like I should eat something. I just had to choose something other than the pink ice cream that Runan likes.
– What are you doing? Eat fast!
Lars, who had entered the bracelet a while ago, came out like a mole.
-The main king is attracted to the green over there! Eat that green stuffed with chocolate! hurry!
Lars became more anxious when Raon didn’t touch him, so he sprayed cold air like crazy.
‘It’s noisy.’
frowned. He didn’t even see the green ice cream Lars wanted. As he was savoring what to choose, Runan’s hand turned toward his head.
‘what?’
I thought about whether I should avoid her hand, but there was neither livelihood nor hostility. By loosening the muscles of the whole body, it was prepared so that it could move at any time.
tock tock.
In spite of that tension, Runan’s hand tapped his head twice very lightly.
“Lunan?”
Raon opened his mouth and raised his gaze. Runan raised his lips to the point of barely showing it, nodded and touched his head again.
“it’s okay.”
When I heard the softly shining silver eyes and the calm voice, my heart was pounding.
‘This guy… .’

Now I could see why Luna had come here.
This child has come to the annex to give back what he said was okay when fighting orcs in the past.
“under.”
Raon smirked. It’s ridiculous to be worried about such a little boy again.
But it didn’t feel too bad. It feels like an emotion that I don’t know exactly what made my chest round.
“Why are you laughing?”
“no.”
Shaking his head, he took out the black marbled ice cream from the box and put it in his mouth. A sweet and bitter taste engulfed his mouth, just like his current emotions.
-Five! chocolate! It looks like the chocolate has been aged for a long time after adding sugar and coffee. Coffee when the main king is in the Demon Realm… What are you doing!
‘shut up.’
After the long chatter, Lars forced her into the bracelet.
“tasty?”
“It’s delicious. thank you.”
“Eat more.”
“No, that’s enough.”
It was really enough. Feeling cold rather than full. No more was needed.
“okay.”
Runan swallowed the red marbled ice cream on the right and stood up.
“I’ll go.”
and left as it is. Since the work to be done was finished, it seemed to go without interfering with the training.
“I am.”
Raon smiled as she watched Runan’s steps, which became lighter than when she came. Now, just looking at the back of that guy makes me laugh.
“Laon.”
As soon as Runan left, Sylvia, who had been hiding behind a tree, approached.
“You look a little closer than a friend in your opinion, don’t you? That’s no ordinary ice cream. It’s a very expensive snack.”
“I’m curious too. Looking at it, I don’t think it’s the first time I’ve eaten ice cream.”
“Laon. The mother talked to that child once… .”
“You two don’t say more than that.”
Raon waved his hand. It’s not good to be droopy, but I hated those playful eyes.
“please… .”
* * *
next day.
A second guest came to the annex.
“Hmm… .”
Raon narrowed her eyes as she looked at the guests walking by with a grunting feeling.
To be honest, I thought Runan might come. Because the child wants to imitate or learn his own training method.
But that guy was really surprising.
“Burren.”
Raon tilted his head as he watched Burren approaching with graceful steps like a nobleman. I really don’t know why she came here.
“I heard that you are fighting a gladiator with Raiden.”
Burren stuck out his mouth and stopped.
“Did you know too?”
“Rumors are spreading throughout the family. Your cheeky bastard had a major accident.”
“It’s a big accident… .”
“I threw a sword at my immediate family on the subject of collateral, and asked for a gladiator without being qualified as a swordsman, so people in high places can’t help but hate it.”
Burren looked down at himself sitting there and snorted. His mouth opened again when I tried to ask if he came to tease me.
“But I think you did well. Like it.”
“What?”
At the words that he could not have imagined would come out of Burren’s mouth, his mouth widened in confusion.
“Leiden is a piece of garbage that deserves to tarnish Sieghard’s name despite being in a position of direct line. He is only strong, but he has neither honor nor belief.”
His voice was hot as if filled with anger.
“As soon as I heard that you and Raiden had a problem, I thought that bastard was the first to argue. It was as expected.”
“Well… .”
That means Burren believes in him. The guy showed an unexpected side today.
“ruler.”
Burren pulled out a palm-sized box from her back pocket and held it out.
“What is this?”
“It’s a medicine for injuries. It’s cheap stuff I don’t even use, but I thought it would suit you, so I brought it.”
“uh… .”
“Take it. Red!”
Burren forced the medicine into her hand and turned her back.
“You are the head of the 5th gymnasium. Take responsibility and never give up.”
After saying that, he went back the way he had come. Interestingly, the pace was getting faster and faster. Seeing that his earlobes were red, he was embarrassed again this time.
“Hmm.”
Raon opened the lid of the box in his hand. There was a pungent and clean medicinal scent.
He took a small amount of the medicine and applied it to the injured wrist. The pain in the wrist disappeared with the warm energy.
‘Is this cheap?’
It is by no means cheap when you look at the clean scent and color of the medicine. When I looked at the back of the lid, it was written Saiman.
Saiman is a guild famous for making high-efficiency medicines. This drug was difficult to obtain even with money.
“What is it?”
Raon shook his head and put the medicine in his pocket.
“Laon. When did you get along with Burren? .”
“young master. Another friend… .”
As Burren disappeared, Sylvia and Helen, who were watching again, started approaching with smiles.
“Don’t come!”
* * *
Unlike the annex, which was busy thanks to Raon, who practiced hard every day, Jinmujeon was quiet.
It was an atmosphere that seemed to not care about the gladiatorial fight with Raon, who was certain of victory.
Raiden also jumped on board in such an atmosphere and spent more leisurely time than usual without training.
“That bastard.”
Butler Merkin bowed his head toward Raiden.
“why?”
Raiden, who was lying on the bed with the maidservant, turned her head.
“Now, shouldn’t you do some training? There are only a few days left for gladiator.”
“training? Are you talking to me now?”
Raiden smiled and got up.
“What kind of training do you have when dealing with a guy like that? If I had used a sword at the time, the cub would have already become a piece of fish and buried in the ground.”
“Ha, but his movements are unusual. The sword was anticipating and blocking, but the fist didn’t even look right.”
Merkin touched the place where he was beaten by Raon.
“Am I just like you? hem!”
Raiden threw the glass of alcohol on the table. The glass of wine shattered, and blood-red water ran down the floor.
“It’s obvious that bastard is writing! The karambo method is the soft sword method I know all too well. If you only use a soft sword, you can tear such a bastard apart even with your eyes closed!”
“Well… .”
“You are the only one who trains. A bastard who rolled his eyes and fainted at an important moment.”
“sorry.”
“go away!”
Raiden screamed and lay back on the bed. Merkin bowed his head and left Raiden’s room.
‘Greeted.’
Merkin shook her head as she looked at Raiden’s room, which was filled with squealing laughter.
He didn’t seem to have any intention of training at all because of the humiliation that he had suffered by Raon.
It was clear that he was taking care of his pride to show that he could defeat him without any training.
‘Raon Sieghard.’
On the other hand, Raon in the annex was informed that he was doing his best every day.
‘He’s not really normal.’
Raon’s movements were strange. Like an assassin, it was difficult to read the presence or movement.
“Ehh… .”
Merkin sighed. For some reason, it seemed that the outcome of this gladiator was right in front of my eyes.
* * *
Marta was sitting on a tree at the beginning of Bukmansan, overlooking the empty lot of the annex.
“Twitter.”
She wiggled her fingers through her black hair that brushed her cheeks, and clicked her tongue thinly.
“It’s terribly popular. There are a lot of people who come like that.”
Marta’s gaze was on Raon, who was sitting in the vacant lot and conversing with the trainees in the 5th Training Grounds. While I was watching here, 7 trainees had already visited Raon.
It didn’t sound exactly right, but it seemed to cheer them on to win the gladiator.
“Hey, since when did we become friends?”
Seeing the trainees pretending to be friendly while looking like cows and chickens in the gym, but getting a little closer through the last mission, made me cringe.
“Everything pathetic… .”
“Would you like to go too?”
“Damn!”
Suddenly, Martha screamed at a voice from behind and fell from the tree.
“Aww, you have a taste for teasing.”
When he lifted his head, Limer was giggling as he slammed his feet into the air.
“Raon is not surprised even if he does something like this, so it’s not fun.”
“You damn elf… .”
Martha got up, grinding her teeth. As her black eyes were about to turn red, Limer waved her hand.
“Is that okay? Did you hear everything?”
I followed his chin and turned around. Raon, who was in the vacant lot, was looking over here.
“Ugh, this is on purpose… .”
“If you come, it would be nice to see your face and support you.”
“I didn’t come here to cheer you up!”
“uh? So what’s in that pocket? to give me?”
“Because of what you saved me on a mission… .”
Martha put her hands in the pockets of her coat and wrinkled her nose.
“Cheer up. It will definitely be a strength.”
Limer smiled and pointed towards the empty lot. Raon was still looking at this place.
“shit… .”
Martha bit her lip and went down the mountain.
“Heh heh!”
Limer hummed while lying on the branch where Marta had fallen.
“You are immature. Well, that is the privilege of children.”
* * *
Raon narrowed her eyes as she looked at Martha coming down from Mt. Bukmang. I knew she was up there, but I thought she wouldn’t come down. It seems that Limer was joking around.
“hey.”
Marta threw a small glass bottle and a square box wrapped in cloth.
“uh?”
Raon grabbed the box and glass bottle flying towards his chest.
“It was the answer back then. Eat before the fight begins.”
“Well… .”
“It’s not poison. Because it is a cheongshim water that cleanly restores physical strength and mental strength. Eat it or throw it away, it’s up to you.”
While looking at the glass bottle, Marta took a step closer and frowned.
“Thank you.”
Raon put the glass bottle in his pocket.
“I was going to step on the monkey one day because he kept babbling, but you hit the player. If you’re going to fight, make sure you kill him. Don’t let your mother open you again.”
“okay.”
“If I lose to that monkey cub, I will cancel my promise to you.”
As she nodded her head, Marta quickly turned her black hair that had now fallen below her shoulders.
“Goes.”
She left the gym without looking back.
“Why didn’t you tell me about this?”
Raon tilted her head and opened the box that Marta had given her.
“beef?”
There was beef inside, and it looked much better quality than the meat we usually ate in the annex.
‘It was this guy.’
Sylvia said that there was sometimes good grade beef in front of the annex, but it must have been a gift from Marta.
-You mean those black eyes left that delicious beef?
‘okay.’
– Well, that’s good. As a monarch, the main king has broad understanding. From today on, I will call my black eyes a beef girl.
‘… … .’
Ignoring Lars’ nonsense, Sylvia and Helen soared out of the bushes like moles on the ground as they gathered the beef.
“Beef and cheongsimsu, full of thoughts of Raon.”
“sure. Meat is meat, too, but looking at the expensive things like cheongsimsu, it means that we are not in a normal relationship.”
“Laon. Later, he invites Martha to dinner… .”
“Oh, please go away!”
Raon shook his head. The two went back into the forest like ghosts and then returned to the annex.
‘Really… .’
A few days ago, I was worried because I was too thin, but now it is so light that I can’t handle it.
‘Well, now is better.’
Sylvia and Helen believed they would win, and were showing their bright side so as not to worry.
They are such bright people. In order to keep their smiles, harm must be kept out of reach of even the shadows.
Raon took a deep breath, got up and started practicing again.
The training continued day and night, and the morning of the day of the gladiator came to light.
Lol 🤣 ice cream girl and meat girl
