Free Marquis of Liester (3)
three days later.
＜I Retired and A Princess of Another World> is a very good novel.
– Tackle, cackle, cackle . . .

Of course, I was too busy to read, so there was no time for emotion or fun.
I read Toegye Gong solely for my studies, and took notes in between.
The flow of reading was cut off because of work and household chores for the past few days.
But why is Taryeong suddenly appearing in a ‘good novel’?
Hey, I wonder if there are other educational stories like this.
“ha······.”
A masterpiece that constantly reminds me that I am never the center of the world, so I have to check my self-consciousness at any time, and that life is never easy.
That’s what the retiree is.
I sighed and looked out the window at the yellow scenery passing by.
I have learned a very new lesson in the past few days.
Whether this world line relies on me or not, it doesn’t go my way here.
never.
“Hey, huh!”
-Multiple, multifaceted, multifaceted…
Just like right now.
“Marquis, please try this.”
“······thank you.”
I smiled and accepted the two pieces of crackers that Benjamin gave me.
Travel snacks topped with sliced shawn cheese contained a warm heart.
The middle-aged man has been very enthusiastic about feeding me a few days ago.
Even though it was the first time he saw my face, he even said, ‘You seem to have lost weight’.
As she bit the crunchy cookie, Tite closed her eyes as if she was satisfied.
– Ooh
– Beep!
Yes, as long as you are happy… This is also delicious.
“Your Majesty must have arrived by now. You will be very happy to see the Marquis.”
Sir John in the seat next to him said in a calm voice.
He skillfully held the sleeping Perry, reading a small book with his other hand.
“Around the Continent in 80 Days”. I glanced at the man without notice.
Let’s go back to three days ago. Let’s go together even if we don’t like it.
‘Are you the one I knew?’
‘·······I apologize for deceiving you.’
After leaving the tent that day, the first person I met was Modest Bakari-kun.
Hearing the announcement of the Crown Prince (the exact details are still unknown), he hastily ran to the temporary barracks.
It was so urgent that there were no magic tools on the bridge of his nose, and his blue-silver eyes were trembling like exploding stars.
His coat was wrinkled and dirty with mud splashes.
I quickly pulled out a handkerchief and brushed off his robe.
The Prophet covered his face with his bare hands.
‘Oh my God…’
‘I’m really sorry to startle you. I thought it would be hard to believe…’
I worked hard to appease the terrified youth. He said, ‘Somehow, somehow.’ and staggered.

Once they were taken to the assigned barracks, they served hot tea.
The rain began to fall, and the atmosphere subsided even more.
No, really?
– Taang!
‘Somehow, I thought that the future could not be seen without you.’
A youth who emptied his teacup like a drinking cup made a fuss.
I double-checked that the tea I poured was correct, and shook my head like a sinner (a lie is a sin).
‘I’m sorry.’
‘There’s no way there could be two people like that, but I was foolish…’. How could the Lord achieve such harmony?
‘I’m sorry for being upset, Bakari-kun. However······. huh?’
I got up from my seat in surprise. The kid in front of me started to cry!
‘Oh, why are you crying? It’s my fault, but why are you crying?’
‘··········.’
‘Sir John! Excuse me, could you bring me some bread?’
I hurriedly found the paladin in charge of the bodyguard.
He delivered a basket of freshly baked bread without further asking if he had grasped the situation.
Meanwhile, the Prophet wept silently.
He didn’t make an impression, he didn’t eat his nose, he kept his mouth shut, and only tears flowed.
When I saw it, my heart was constricted and I felt guilty.
It’s not that I left this place by mistake, but it did hurt me as a result.
To this child and to other friends.
‘He said he came from another world.’
Bakari-kun, who had drained the moisture for a while, opened his mouth.
Perhaps this kind of crying was familiar, and his voice was almost silent.
I borrowed Sir John’s handkerchief and placed it in the little boy’s hand.
He held a glass of water in his other hand.
The twenty-one-year-old, with tears in his eyes, now looked about seventeen.
‘yes. That’s how I can explain it.’
‘Are you, then, the marquis’ representative? Are you a nobleman sent to us by God?’
At that question, I was speechless.
Mysterious eyes twinkled as if searching for the truth.
I wandered around without giving an answer for a while.
That was a question I was curious about too.
So I went home and dug up Toegye Gong.
Any clues about ‘Protestantism’ were gathered together like crazy, and somehow I tried to fit the facts I knew.
But that setting could not be solved with effort.
Protestantism did not have complex philosophies or ideas like real religions.
No matter how you look at it, it was a form of primitive religion that worshiped the god of creation, especially shamanism.

Of course, there were plausible denominations, and there were Bibles and commentaries.
I even went through it myself and read it for a year. However······.
‘Umm.’
The words were old, but the content itself wasn’t difficult.
Interpretation of various myths and legends was generally this.
‘Be courageous and do good.’ ‘Always be faithful to your life under the gaze of the Lord.’
‘Then the Lord will grant you favor.’
‘All your time will be valuable.’
In addition, various mysteries that can be solved with ‘God’s will’.
‘······I do not know.’
I finally spoke frankly.
To say no, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was deeply entangled in the birth of this world line.
However, it was difficult to guess what Ju-Jin was going through to say that it was true.
Then Bakari-kun opened his eyes sharply.
‘Did you know that the return of the Marquis is the first miracle of the resurrection of the dead in the continent’s 2,000-year history?’
‘I’m sorry, but I didn’t think of it that far.’
I answered calmly. Why are you suddenly saying something scary?
‘Go back to the rear right now and be safe.’
‘Yes?’
I widened my eyes.
Actually, I was going to ask Bakari-kun for help when the atmosphere calmed down, but somehow things were going the other way around.
The Prophet wrinkled his forehead as if in agony. The tip of the nose is red.
‘It is not a matter of being seen or not being revealed. The front line is overly dangerous. Lister cannot lose his Marquis twice. However, knowing this fact, Penetian will plan the second death of the Marquis. The morale of the Imperial Army has risen, so there is nothing good about them.’
‘··········.’
‘It would be better to ask His Majesty his regards, answer his proper question, and then decide what to do next.’
‘··········.’
‘Even if you came from another world, you are a servant of your Majesty on the continent. Much less is this the marquis’ estate, and it’s an exhibition. Have you ever tried to act alone?’
He squealed like an adult. It was indeed the attitude of the emperor’s advice.
There was no fact bomber, so I couldn’t argue with anything and just offered bread.
They spread apricot jam and politely served it, and the teenagers enjoyed it.
– Chia!

Oops.
“Hey, do you want to eat peaches? I will cut it.”
– Kururu
I suddenly woke up from my thoughts and made eye contact with Shinsoo.
Demi was running around on the floor of the wagon, playing stupid.
There were a few more episodes after that, but anyway, the conclusion is…
-Tick, tick, tick…
“Cuckoo! Khhh.”
Benjamin, Sir John, Sant and I have come out into the desert side by side.
Perseverance and aemuldanji were also there. I smiled slightly at the snoring priest.
The sweet scent of summer fruits lingered on my fingertips.
······· I hope the Crown Prince and his party in the front are safe.
“Let’s go see our friends.”
– Kyeung!

Okay. Perhaps there is a clue to ending the war in the Empire’s land.

Regarding ‘a few episodes after that’, Cardinal Johann Haines has something to say.
To the man, his master was like an angel.
‘Oh! body suddenly? Do you think it’s bad? Are you too tired?’
‘··········.’
‘What do we do? It’s a big deal. It will be difficult to leave today.’
The paladin swallowed a sigh as he looked at Jesse, who was acting out of nowhere.
He had a level of acting similar to Sir Elizabeth Mutte, but the person concerned didn’t seem to think much of it.
The guilt he felt when lying was clearly revealed, but he always came out shamelessly.
‘Aiko.’
He was spread on the bed holding the holy stone, and the gods jumped in as if they were waiting.
‘Keeping!’ ‘Kiwoong!’ It seemed to be a new game when a normal person suddenly lay down.
As Leia stepped on the boat, the Marquis fluttered violently.
‘Uk, I’m going to be a real boner!’
– What?
Shinsoo tilted his tail. The Marquis hurriedly looked into the eyes of the Paladin.
‘no. You already have bone disease. So, deeper… A more serious bone disease could arise thanks to Leah. My brother has to know now.’
– Are you stuck?
‘······Sorry! It was a bad joke. I’ll never get sick because of Leah in my life. You can play more. My brother was so wrong. I will reflect.’
He made a sane and blunt nonsense, and then he began to contemplate at the thought that it might hurt him.
John tilted his head as he looked at the master who grew up in the divine beast.
Leah fluttered her ears in excitement.
I couldn’t believe he had pretended to be someone else until now without hiding his behavior.
Even if there was no ether, it was difficult to know.
Their voice and tone were the same, and their gestures, attitudes, and even the smallest habits were the same.
The blinking speed and the ability to be surprised were still there. Besides, he ate surprisingly well.
It would have been difficult to think of someone else as I ate like that.
John opened his mouth slowly.
‘You must have been surprised by the magic beast, so I’m going to tell the Crown Prince to give him a day off. It rained a lot.’
‘Great. thank you!’
‘But I will definitely leave tomorrow.’
He spoke harshly, but the priest just smiled brightly as he thought it was acting.
He seemed to believe he had bought time.
It was an illusion. John couldn’t afford it at all.
‘Prince, please listen.’
The next day, the Marquis began to appeal in earnest to the reason why he should remain on the front line.
Still, he filled the Holy Stone from time to time and replenished the disciple’s ether.
He volunteered at an aid station, and even took care of the black horse Charlemagne’s snacks and health.
If necessary, he used healing power without hesitation even on the dirt floor.
Even though he was in the same position as before, he continued to hang out with people of lower rank.
Even though it was no longer commoner’s attire, he insisted on getting dirty.
Although he was burdened by the pouring gaze, he went wherever he needed it.
As always.
‘I heard that your Majesty has an emergency. The beasts that entered the Trosart Dungeon evolved one step before coming out. I know about this place.’
‘··········.’
‘This is a special space called ‘Reverse Dungeon’. It is unknown how many more there are on the continent, but there is no way to prevent the appearance of demons other than completely shutting them down. So I mean. If I plan a strategy and help the prince lead—’
‘You’re trying to stop it with that golem.’
The prince in armor sat down in the middle of the sanctuary and spoke languidly.
He was devouring his partner’s ether for the first time in five months.
His eyes were half-closed, but the spirit of a beast was still there.
Then the purple eyes widened.
When using ether, the color of his iris changed, making him look too holy.
‘How did you know? Isn’t this a very ignorant method?’
‘··········.’
‘I thought it was my own idea. too bad.’
As the Marquis dangling his shoulders, the wren also tilted his tail.
But he didn’t give up easily.
‘The villagers here in Honing saved me. Feed them, put them to sleep, dress them up… I was taken care of a lot. If only they want me, I want to take them to my estate. Slowly prepare,’
‘We’ll discuss it after the war. Now is not the time to move a large number of civilians.’
The prince was like his mother, so he was quick to make decisions and was like a sword.
The Marquis licked her lips, raised her hand and spoke.
‘There is another. Last time we knocked down a rainwater reservoir the size of a house to attack Viscount Trosart’s ambush. It looks like it could be put to good use. I think,’
‘I’m already using it as a prisoner-of-war camp, so quit.’
‘scent······. It’s amazing.’
The priest was truly amazed. And again, it was a twinkling giggle.
‘It was your birthday yesterday. Having friends will be a comfort in a tough battlefield. Also, if I can’t get to the front lines, it’s not bad as a healing priest. You can also receive confessions from knights and soldiers,’
‘We have enough manpower. to be enthralled.’
‘Iron wall really….’
He let out a long sigh and patted the whining Tite.
John decided that this was enough.
‘Marquis.’
‘Yes, Sir John.’
So, even though the master looked at me with hopeful eyes, he ignored me.
‘His Majesty Aurelie will be waiting for you.’
‘··········.’
His eyes trembled greatly.
In fact, the cardinal had no plans to shake him up.
It was enough for others to get the owner’s various feelings or make him act.
Johann had no intention of becoming a stumbling block for Jesse Penetian—no, ‘Jesse Jung’ for the rest of his life.
He doesn’t expect my agitation, so he doesn’t show his emotions.
He doesn’t prepare for my mistakes, so he doesn’t show any loopholes.
The ether feels a little lacking, giving it a familiar tension.
So Sant’s power is enough. He is devoted only to maintaining the peace of his master.
I don’t do anything that breaks my daily routine.
But that day was different. John pushed the master with a smile.
‘There are also the Little Duke of Blanquere, Herit, and the Imperial Palace family. Perhaps the news will reach the Marquis Duhem first. It’s good to see them working hard on the front line for victory, but don’t they also need comfort and warmth?’
‘··········.’
‘It can be helpful even in a safe place. This place is precarious, and the presence of the Marquis will interfere with the work of Captain Bakari. Do you want that?’
He poured out soft and bitter sentences like his breath. Blessed gazes fell helplessly.
The disciple frowned and glared at me.
I knew better than anyone that it was an unnecessary stimulus.
But at the same time, it was necessary.
‘······no. I will return to the Imperial Palace.’
‘··········.’
‘I’m leaving tomorrow instead. The fatigue of the healing priests is accumulating. I will help them with their work and say hello to the residents.’
‘·······Do whatever you want.’
The father humbly sighed. Then, avoiding the eyes of my priest, I shot the master again.
John answered with a soft smile.
I knew he and mine were different.
