Episode 87 – What makes Ruben great
The place we arrived at was none other than a restaurant.
To be precise, the enchanting restaurant Lv.4.
Run by Dana, Jerry’s mother, it was a place where the people of Reuben gathered together to eat.
It was the same with Xi’an.
In front of such a restaurant, Ruben’s soldiers were lined up.
And each with a weapon drawn.
He had a bad temper.
Even the aura that shimmers between the swords.
The spirit of the soldiers was unusual, as if they would jump out if touched.
And why?
Among those soldiers, there was someone who was foreign.
None other than Conner from the underworld.
He was a high-class assassin in the Shadow Moon Guild.
After coming to carry out Xian’s assassination request the other day and being robbed by Leah.
It was Kerner, who was living a life of slavery, not slavery, in Leuven.
To be precise, it was ‘Top Class Special Class Training Center Lv.4’.
There, he was the instructor in charge of assassination.
Ruben’s soldiers surrounded such a corner as if to protect it.
For some reason, Conner was looking around with trembling eyes.
And it is none other than the Royal Knights who are confronting Ruben’s soldiers.
They were members of the 2nd Knights who came as Elena’s escort.
Yale was nowhere to be seen.
Apparently, he is receiving treatment at a treatment center.
Now, only members of the Royal Knights were visible.
Behind the Royal Knights, Elena’s figure was visible.
Elena was a little embarrassed.
‘What happened?’
Xian really wanted to know what had happened.
I don’t know how it all happened…
“We definitely gave a warning.”
“The person we serve is the princess of the empire. Do you know what that action means now?”
If I let it go like this, it seemed like there would be a real fight.
Xian shouted as he walked between the soldiers and the Royal Knights.
“stop!”
Upon Xian’s appearance, all eyes turned to him.
At the same time, the confrontational momentum softened slightly.
However, their hostility toward each other did not disappear.
Xian calmly looked away.
And asked Elena.
“What kind of situation is this?”
“That is···.”
Elena was speechless.
I couldn’t exactly speak.
“I don’t know either…”
Elena didn’t know too well.
That’s also true, Elena just wanted to go to the enchanting restaurant Lv.4.
immediately after the case is settled.
Elena couldn’t easily recover from the shock.
But I can’t stay in shock forever.
Elena was soon able to come to her senses.
Then it just came to my mind.
It was none other than the refreshments we tasted at Yeongju Castle.
And I had only heard that the cook who made the refreshment was here.
So Elena headed here, to the restaurant.
The Royal Knights said they were aware of the dangers and entered the restaurant first.
Suddenly, the present scene unfolded.
It was true that I was taken aback by the rather heinous atmosphere.
However, Elena quickly came to her senses.
And just as I was about to leave.
Now Xian had come.
In any case, Elena didn’t seem to have a clue as to why this happened.
That is purely the Royal Knights and Ruben’s soldiers.
It means the trouble that occurred between these two…
Right then.
“I will explain, lord.”
Someone stepped out on one side.
It was none other than Lucas, who was in charge of the soldiers of the territory.
Lucas slowly approached Xian.
Xian winked at me as if to tell me.
“actually···.”
Lucas opened his mouth slowly.
#
The beginning of the incident was that Elena wanted to go to the enchanting restaurant Lv.4.
To be precise, I wanted to confirm the safety of Elena.
The Royal Knights entered the enchanting restaurant Lv.4 first.
Originally, the Royal Knights had to keep their distance from Elena and escort them.
But before.
There was also an incident with Leah.
As a result, even Yale suffered internal injuries and fell out of escort.
No matter how strict the crown prince was.
I had no choice but to pay attention to Elena’s escort.
So the Royal Knights didn’t distance themselves from Elena.
In addition, I went inside first to check the risk factors inside the restaurant.
and there.
“The Royal Knights found Instructor Kerner.”
They say they found Conner eating.
Kerner is a special assassin of the Shadow Moon.
The Royal Knights knew Kerner.
Not exactly Kerner’s exact identity.
It was to recognize Kerner’s sign of the shadow moon.
And the Shadow Moon is a guild that rules the underworld.
In a word, it was a criminal guild.
Of course, to call the Shadow Moon Guild simple criminals was like that.
A guild that gave rules to the underworld filled with chaos.
To put it simply, they were communicative people.
But criminals are criminals after all.
There was no change in the fact that they were roaming the back alleys doing dirty work.
‘I can’t believe the hounds of the dark side are here.’
From the perspective of the Royal Knights, of course, they had no choice but to walk and fall.
Princess Elena will be entering this restaurant.
There is a high-class assassin in such a restaurant?
‘The princess can’t be with a filthy guy like you.’
The Royal Knights had no choice but to speak out.
‘I don’t want to see blood, so go out.’
The Royal Knights said coldly to Kerner.
Kerner said nothing.
What is this kind of treatment…
because I’m used to it
A criminal from the underworld.
Even though he is now Ruben’s assassination instructor, that past has not been erased.
In fact, I didn’t do anything particularly proud.
The rules set by Diana, the head of the Shadow Moon Guild.
I followed the rules and made the request.
Also, it was Conner who did not touch anything other than the subject of the request.
But the shameless things didn’t change.
So Kerner said nothing.
Because I didn’t want to cause any trouble.
Because if you cause trouble, other people will be harmed.
The opponent was none other than the princess.
The most honorable person in the empire.
Kerner didn’t want others to be hurt because of him, the people here in Reuben.
The reason is well…
It was because Kerner liked Ruben here before he knew it.
but what
It was Conner who had been treated like this before.
Now the soldiers are Instructor, Instructor But.
After all, he was an outsider.
He was even an assassin who had come to assassinate the lord.
In the meantime, the people of Ruben have been stupidly kind.
This was the treatment he deserved.
Conner got up from his seat without saying a word.
and that look.
“Duras stopped Instructor Kerner from doing that.”
The soldier of the territory, Duras, could not stand it.
‘What do you mean by that?’
Duras said to the Royal Knights.
‘This guy is the hound of the underworld.’
‘Now I’m a resident of Ruben. On the other hand, you are strangers.’
The Royal Knights glared at Durras.
All of the members are high-level talented people who reach the expert level.
Even though Ruben’s soldiers had grown to the level of knights.
The level was different to compare with the Royal Knights.
Even so.
‘You do not have the right to drive out the people of Leuven.’
Durras did not back down.
‘Weren’t you guys fighting these guys too?’
‘Not now. I’m enjoying Dana’s food now.’
‘I bet you don’t know who we are serving.’
‘This is Ruben, not the imperial palace.’
Duras and the Royal Knights had a fierce battle of words.
The atmosphere started to get worse.
The Royal Knights stared blankly at Durras.
Then he spoke to Kerner again.
‘Things are getting bigger, so I won’t say much. Get out now.’
‘You guys go out.’
And Duras said to the Royal Knights.
‘Are you going to see us? What you’re doing right now is—’
‘The reason you wear armor and carry a sword is probably for the sake of noble members of the royal family.’
gaze.
‘But not us.’
Behind Duras, the soldiers gathered one by one.
‘Anyone without discrimination in Leuven. And to be able to live freely.’
Duras, and Ruben’s soldiers.
He looked directly at the knights of the Royal Knights and said.
‘That’s why we’re wearing this armor.’
Duras is raging.
‘Leave Instructor Kerner and leave immediately.’
Even so, the Royal Knights did not move.
Extremely rushing atmosphere.
‘We definitely warned you.’
That is.
visor!
That was the end of this case.
#
“That is what happened.”
After that, Lucas stepped back for a moment.
Xian calmly closed his eyes.
Although it was not directly related to Elena.
Literally the trouble between Ruben’s soldiers and the Royal Knights.
However, the current Royal Knights were escorting Elena.
This also happened in the process of escorting.
In a way, it could be seen that the soldiers threatened Elena.
And threatening the imperial family is something that cannot be avoided.
Xian had to make a decision.
But the thought didn’t last long.
Xian said to the opposing Royal Knights.
“I won’t argue with you about this.”
At those words, the Royal Knights raised their eyes.
Saying that I won’t pick right or wrong.
that means that.
Because the fault was on you guys, but it was no different from saying that you just moved on.
“Now what…”
“Anyway, this is…”
The Royal Knights raised their eyes and shouted.
But Xian looked at Elena without paying attention.
And Elena met those eyes.
His gaze was cold.
That’s why it was cold again.
I don’t know why, but it was cold enough to make me feel sad.
Xian’s words continued like that.
“Please leave Ruben right now.”
“wait a minute! This···!”
Elena screamed involuntarily.
Like Xian, Elena heard the circumstances.
And Elena could not say that the Royal Knights were not at fault.
However, it could not be said that it was the Royal Knights’ fault.
Shall I be a little more honest?
This was something Xian had to ask for mercy from Elena.
Although not directly.
It was as if Ruben’s soldiers had thrust their swords at the princess.
The matter was different from Leah’s rudeness earlier.
So, Xian had to ask for forgiveness from Elena.
Perhaps if it was another lord or noble…
He would have cut the throat of that soldier named Duras right now.
And it was the soldier’s arbitrary judgment.
He would have tried to get rid of his mistake while making excuses like that.
That was what Elena had seen of nobles.
However, Xian did not blame the soldier for his mistakes.
Instead, he was telling Elena to leave Ruben.
“Perhaps the princess cannot understand my actions now.”
Elena didn’t answer.
Because I really couldn’t understand.
Sian slowly opened his mouth.
“What makes an empire great, you asked me.”
The question Elena asked Xian at the Lord’s Castle.
Xian replied that he was from the same royal family as the emperor and crown prince at the time.
And Elena included the nobles who made the empire shine.
Families like Elandur and Lorcylt.
That’s why Elena had no objection to an arranged marriage.
In a way, she was faithful to her duties as a princess.
but.
“I actually think differently.”
In fact, Xian had a different answer.
What makes an empire great
Small is what makes this place, Ruben, great.
There would be many things in it.
And the people of Leuven would probably say Xian.
But it wasn’t actually Xi’an.
It wasn’t Xi’an that made Ruben great here.
That’s why it wasn’t the dignity and dignity of the nobility.
It was not the dignity and dignity of a leader.
Xian pointed his finger at Ruben’s soldiers.
To the Royal Knights, they could be called mere soldiers.
however.
“These are normal people.”
What makes Ruben great?
Very ordinary, ordinary people.
Making the empire and Ruben great is not so grandiose.
From nob le mt l. co m
Just the words and actions of ordinary people.
The laughter and happiness that ordinary people usually show off.
Make the Empire great, Ruben great.
i don’t think it’s correct
Elena’s words also make sense.
But at least here, in Leuven.
At least Xian.
“Please leave Ruben right now.”
I think so.
Elena’s expression went blank at Xian’s words.
His eyes blurred as if he had been hit in the head with a hammer.
no thoughts come to mind
To be precise, Xian’s words just kept ringing in my head.
Eventually, Xian turned around and walked away.
“Lord of Ruben! What are you doing!”
“No matter how favored Your Highness is, this is not the case!”
The Royal Knights shouted at Xian.
Xi’an’s steps suddenly stopped.
“Are you sure you want to go all the way?”
Xian sighed coldly.
At the same time, Ruben’s soldiers lined up behind Xian.
The momentum that explodes with him.
“…!”
“…!”
The Royal Knights all at once hesitated and scurried.
An order of knights directly under the Crown Prince, made up of all experts.
Even though there is no leader, Yale.
In terms of power, it wasn’t far behind.
But why?
The Royal Knights couldn’t bear to take action.
Obviously, they are just soldiers.
For some reason, it seemed that I couldn’t guarantee an easy match.
Especially the ghost behind the lord of Ruben.
It was even more so when he did not have the power of the ghost.
no.
The Royal Knights shook their heads.
It’s not just the ghost’s problem.
The gazes of the Royal Knights all headed towards one place.
Lord of Leuven, Xian.
I couldn’t figure out why I was thinking this way.
He is only the lord of a territory.
I felt the dignity as if I was facing the crown prince.
oppressed by the momentum
“Please leave immediately.”
And a word from the ensuing poem.
Xian slowly turned his back and left.
Ruben’s soldiers followed behind Xian.
And behind those soldiers.
-nyah.
Leah sticks out her tongue and then disappears with a whimper.
#
Right after getting away from Elena and the Royal Knights to some extent.
“Hey, you bastard.”
Damn-!
Xian hit Durras hard on the back of the head.
“Ah! Why are you beating me!”
Douras looked startled.
Then, she looked up at Xi’an with tears in her eyes.
Xian frowned and said with a frown.
“Hey, you bastard. You have to look for a place to stretch out and stretch out. Fighting against the Royal Knights because there’s no one to talk to? And to the Royal Knights escorting the princess?”
“But… I mean, I couldn’t help it…”
“It is a disease that cannot be helped. There is such a thing as flexibility. Flexibility. Are you going to fight me later too?”
“Oh, how could that be! When did I rebel against the lord…!”
“You’re still talking back, you bastard!”
Damn-!
“Ah!”
Xian sighed and said.
“Lucas, you too. Are you just watching it there? You don’t have to dry it.”
“······ sorry.”
Lucas bowed his head deeply.
Sian shook his head.
Anyway, if these guys don’t cause an incident even for a day, thorns will grow in their mouths.
But what…
“······ Good job.”
Xian sighed in a low voice.
Then Durras grinned and smiled.
“I thought the lord would say that.”
Damn-!
“This bastard, though.”
“Aagh!”
“Puhahahaha!”
Everyone burst into laughter at the sight of Duras finally falling out.
And Connor, who watched it.
“·······”
Kerner couldn’t explain how he was feeling right now.
I just pretended not to know.
Then it would work without any problems.
Like the hounds of darkness.
It was just something to be treated like an asshole and ignored.
That was Kerner’s life.
But the people of Ruben were not like that.
He thrust his sword into the Royal Knights for himself.
Xian even shouted at the princess.
what the heck… what the heck am i saying?
An assassin who even tried to assassinate Xian…
I was just an outsider.
“why···.”
what am i
“uh? Instructor Conner? Are you crying?”
“I’m not crying…”
what am i really saying
“Why not cry!”
“Instructor Connor is crying!”
“I’m not crying, these aaa!!”
What the hell am I like?
“Ah, crying! I’m not crying oh oh oh oh oh oh…!”
Forgetting that Kerner is a special assassin.
I cried and left the world.
And Xian, who watched it.
“That’s why Ruben’s assassination instructor is used.”
“… I’m sorry…! I’m really sorry…”
what are you sorry about
Xian just shrugged.
Then, sneakily, he looked back.
Fortunately… Elena didn’t follow me.
‘Couldn’t you ask for the 1 million gold back later?’
I was afraid of that, so I ran away quickly.
well, anyway.
I must have kicked out the troublesome princess.
Now, back to the lord castle—.
Right then.
Tring!
A cheerful notification sound came from the smartphone in his arms.
Want something for a while.
《Mobile lord woo woo woo~! Hatching like a dog~!!!
The notification window of the mobile lord, who finished the emergency maintenance, appeared on the screen.
