83 – Performance and the chaos that comes to Grace Family
Marquis Liam was lying in bed.
Private room in the main castle of Gramberge.
A treatment space where healing priests are always waiting outside.
The Marquis looked out the window.
“…… “It’s a warm day.”
“Yes, the days have been clear recently.”
Gramberge’s secretary answered softly.
After the Marquis regained consciousness from his injuries, he called a secretary and was working in his private room.
The injury is still not fully healed.
The marquis appears to have no motivation.
Emotions appear in the Marquis’ eyes and then disappear.
“That… “What about the child?”
“You mean the boy savior of the North?”
“……… Is he called that?”
“Yes, because there are a lot of people who have seen it. I went back. From what I heard, he was a student at Charles Academy.”
“…… Right.”
The Marquis kept his mouth shut.
The Marquis did not ask more questions.
“It’s been a while since your Excellency has been interested in anyone other than ladies.”
The secretary smiled.
Do you regret not seeing that boy again?
Definitely, when the queen and the boy faced off.
The Marquis could not properly see the fight between the two, but he did see the eyes that embroidered the sky.
It is the 8-star Sword of the Winter Queen.
A state that the Marquis had longed for.
The boy will reach there.
The Marquis’s desire arises again.
At the same time, I was out of breath.
The Winter Queen’s Sword 8 Castle is a place that the weak Marquis cannot reach.
That fact makes the Marquis’ heart feel uncomfortable.
This is a feeling I have felt countless times already.
Nevertheless.
‘That beautiful scenery…… ‘I want to see you again.’
The Marquis gazed endlessly out the window.

“I’m so sorry, Evan!”
Mayer, whom I met at the academy, apologized to me.
Although she didn’t really deserve an apology, Mayer felt guilty towards me.
“I should have gone to the front sooner… No, I should have been at the front a long time ago! Not a rear attack force…… !”
“It doesn’t matter because it’s already over. “Wars don’t go as planned.”
“Whoa…” Thank you for saying that. “You made an excuse.”
Mayer touched her forehead and repeatedly lowered her head.
I’m on my way to the gravity room, so it would be nice if I could get out of the way quickly.
Mayer cleared his throat and glanced around.
Academy Street is deserted because it is vacation.
Mayer made a coy expression after confirming that no one was there.
“The rumor has already spread to the imperial family. Evan, are you going to receive a call from His Majesty the Emperor?”
“Tsk.”
It’s becoming a bother.
It seems like she brought it up because she thought I would like it, but she didn’t do it for compensation in the first place.
I just went there to gain practical experience.
“And now, love calls from countless knights… ….”
“Professor.”
“Yes?”
Professor Meyer talks about my fame without even noticing it.
But I just hate annoying things.
In my past life, there were a lot of people who followed me to my training room, so there was a time when I couldn’t train for a week.
It was really the worst.
“I don’t mind being famous, but I don’t want it to interfere with my training time. “If you feel sorry for me, please resolve this issue.”
Mayer has some power in the Academy, so he can prevent recruiting agents from entering the gravity room.
I don’t know if I will gain anything from the knights in the future, but I have no intention of belonging to any organization.
Mayer rolled his eyes.
“Um…… “It’s training.”
Mayer’s nervous expression.
Mayer let out a faint groan.
“Ugh… “Then shall we do it like this?”
After thinking for a while, Meyer suggested an alternative.
“Because Evan is a student, I will decline the offer to recruit him when he attends the academy. But when I’m outside the academy… It will be difficult after you graduate. Also… There are some knights I can’t mess with. “In the first place, the Knights’ greed for talent cannot be prevented, right?”
“It is sufficient as long as it does not interfere with training.”
“I understand. “I will try as hard as I can.”
Good.
If Mayer steps forward and gives it to her, wouldn’t she be at least as comfortable as when she was at the academy?
I will spend most of my time at the academy.
※
A quiet academy.
Most of the students have returned to their homes and are using the gravity room as their own.
-Sweetheart, what are your hobbies?
But as Maya was doing her training, she asked something strange.
“Maya, now is training time. “Make sure you focus solely on your training.”
-Oh…… ! Sorry!
Maya swings her sword again.
This is an 8x gravity room.
My physical abilities rose to C+, so I moved here.
Maya also rose from C- to C and came here.
It’s a bit difficult for Maya.
The gravity room is a place where if you make a mistake, it can lead to a serious accident.
Be careful when doing weight exercises.
Of course, even if Maya gets hurt, I can heal her.
If possible, it would be good to know how to distinguish between places.
Time to sweat happily and relax in the lounge.
Maya is eating a sandwich and looking at me.
‘…… Is it because of the question you asked earlier?’
It’s a hobby.
What the child says may be meaningless.
As this guy’s guardian, I am reluctant to pass him over in vain.
“Maya.”
-Mumble, mumble, yes!
Maya chews her sandwich intently and then answers.
I asked Maya.
“Is there a reason you asked me about my hobbies?”
-Gulp! I want to know more about you!
“About me?”
-Yes! Michael did it! If you want to get closer to someone special, get to know them.
Maya answers with a smile.
Was Michael the cause?
Teleportation wizard Michael.
Michael comes out to work in the morning and comes to Maya’s mansion.
After going to Gram Berge, he didn’t have anything to do, so Michael was there all the time.
He is a man with a light appearance.
I warned Maya.
“Maya, it’s good to listen to other people’s advice, but Michael often says useless things. “Try to develop the ability to listen through filters.”
It may end up looking bad for Maya.
Looking at Michael’s playful attitude, I sigh.
“Huh…… My hobby is sword training. “The question is not wrong, but please take into account what I said earlier.”
I answered what Maya asked.
-Sword training!
Maya follows my words.
-I would like to do sword training as a hobby!
“…… Okay.”
Maya just needs to do what she does now.
My physical abilities are almost the same as mine after drinking the river water from Slid.
Maya will soon surpass my physical capabilities.
-Ah, boss! And now I can do this!
Maya swallowed the food she had in her mouth and spoke to me.
Maya has learned something.
“What is it?”
-Yeaaap!
When I asked, Maya unleashed her magic power.
Tsutsutsutsu…… !
The magic power gathered in Maya’s body.
Maya opened her eyes wide and matched the magic pattern.
A fairly familiar form.
Maya spread her hands wide.
Paaat!
Maya’s body turned into light and then appeared a little further in front.
If I’m not mistaken, it’s a teleportation spell.
Doubts abound.
I never taught Maya teleportation magic?
“I saw Michael doing it and tried to copy it!”
“…… !”
This surprises me too.
Teleportation magic is a complicated technique, so only skilled magicians use it.
Are you saying you just copied what Michael did?
Maya may have the talent to destroy the world.
I feel like I have seen a new path.
Should we teach Maya some magic? The sword comes first, but you can listen to it briefly.
It has become more convenient.
Even if the contract with Michael ends, Maya will be able to teleport.

Maya looked surprised by her teacher, and she liked it when he praised her.
After Maya returned from Gramberg, she tried to learn everything she saw.
To somehow reach where Master is.
‘…… ‘My master is in a very high place.’
Today’s Maya is so difficult to dare to reach.
So, whenever there is an emergency, Master steps in.
Couldn’t he do it himself instead of Master?
I feel stuffy.
If you are very strong, Master will be comfortable.
Someone I never want to lose.
Maya closed her eyes and felt Master’s touch.
Master’s calloused hands roam his head.
Clear traces of water training.
I like it when Master touches my head.
The stuffiness goes away a little.
Master is so close.
Once you get into the real world, what seems so far away.
Maya closed her eyes and made a decision.
‘Sir… Maya will become very strong.’
So, please wait a moment.

Northern central region.
Grace is nature.
There were many vassals in the office of Evan’s father, the head of the family, Richard.
The vassals raise their blood and glare at each other.
“Matriarch, no matter how I think about it, I think it’s right for Master Evan to be the matriarch. “How long have you been a dragon slayer?”
“When was the rightful son decided? What kind of nonsense is that?”
A vassal who expresses his/her opinion to the head of the family and another vassal who rebels against the head of the family.
One side was the side that defended Evan, and the other side defended Evan’s eldest brother, the eldest eldest son, Carter Inn Grace.
Melkop, the vassal who defended Evan, continues to speak.
“Even though we are a family of knights, we have not had proper talent for 100 years. It is right for someone with outstanding ability to lead the family. Please reconsider your position as the future head of the family!”
Melkop kneels as if he were a loyal subject.
This, which could be considered disrespectful to the head of the family, happened because the council of elders was behind the vassals.
Sentai Grace matriarch and retired relatives.
Grace’s Presbyterian Church comprised of them.
The Presbyterian Church wanted someone more capable as Grace’s next head of the family.
Count Richard, who was sitting at his desk, snorted inwardly.
‘Since when did you defend Evan?’
Evan was looked down upon by his family because he was the child of a maid.
Richard’s other children were openly bullying him.
There was something Richard ignored, but the vassals and the Presbytery also ignored it.
Palak.
Richard looked at the two letters in his hands.
One is from the Marquis of Ashur, and the other is from Gramberge.
Richard was dumbfounded.
I can’t believe that that little child asked for news about such a great nobleman.
Everything from Ashur and Gramberge was related to Evan.
Let’s unravel the two letters.
「After investigating, I heard that my fiancé-to-be had been subjected to unreasonable harassment at Grace Street. For now, my fiancé hasn’t said anything, so I’m holding off, but if I hear something strange again, she’ll have to be prepared for destruction. -Marquis Ashur-」
The above is from the Marquis of Ashur.
「Sir Evan is the benefactor of Gramberge and the savior of the Northern Miracle. So, he would like to interact with Grace. He encloses northern specialties. -Cynthia Innin Gramberge-」
The one above is from Gramberge.
From Noble mtl dot com
At first, Richard thought the letter had arrived in error.
Evan is an academy student, so she never gets called ‘Sir Evan’.
He may not be skilled enough to be called the savior of the North.
However, after checking, it turned out that it was in the right place.
‘……….’
Count Richard pressed his fingers to his temples.
His head is dizzy.
