22 – Salsinsain – 1

Gera Hernández’s luxuriously decorated reception room.

As expected from the daughter of the Hernández family, one of the most prestigious knights, the room was decorated with rare armor and swords.

Armor made by a renowned craftsman in the kingdom, a famous sword that a dwarf spent years crafting, and a spear said to have been used by one of the five stars of the empire were displayed at the edge of the reception room.

The fact that rare weapons were on display in Zera Hernández’s reception room also suggested that Zera was important to the family.

Argyle and her maids work diligently to welcome guests from early in the morning.

Because they knew very well that the cleanliness of the reception room was the face of the young lady they served, Zera Hernández, and the face of the Hernández family.

They cleaned the window frames, under the tables, around the edges of the floor, and even into the corners of the chairs.

The old armor and five-star spear also reflected the light and sparkled under their touch.

And after all preparations were completed, Zera and Orphee finally appeared in the reception room.

Unlike Zera, who sat down on a chair in the reception room with confident and powerful steps, Orphée looked around and slowly sat down, as if she was not used to this kind of position.

However, when Zera saw Orphee like that, she did not look down on him at all.

Orphee, who is in front of Zera, has most strongly inherited the qualities of the future head of the Artur family, a prestigious sorcerer.

Of course, Harvey’s recent actions have been suspicious to the point of being bizarre, but the successor who received support from the elders of the Artur family was Orphée.

It wouldn’t be a bad choice to talk about Harvey and get to know the person who will become the future head of the Artur family.

“Miss, I will bring some tea.”

” Ok, thanks. “

Click.

The maids’ father-in-law, Argyll, placed tea on the table that he had imported directly from the East.

Steam was escaping from the cup of freshly brewed tea, and a pleasant aroma filled the reception room.

“It smells good, right?”

“Yes, it’s good. hahahaha…”

“This is a rare tea that my father brought directly from the East. I heard that it is a tea enjoyed by the royal family of the East.”

“…It’s so precious.”

“For someone who will become the future head of the Artur family, this is a small amount.”

Investment, Zera was currently investing in Orphee.

At first glance, Orphée seems like a kid who doesn’t know anything about the world yet.

I will engrave Hernández’s name directly into the heart of such a child.

“…Nothing has been confirmed yet…More than anything, I have an older brother.”

“Are you talking about Harvey Artur?”

” yes. “

“It’s strange. From what I heard, the Orphee in front of me is closer to the position of the head of the family… That’s what I heard.”

“Absolutely not!”

Orphee waves her hands and vehemently denies Zera’s words.

As for the position of the head of the Arthur family, of course, the closest person to the current successor was Orphée.

However, in Orphée’s heart, there was still a rock called Harvey.

It was clear that if she took over as the head of the family, leaving behind Harvey, the eldest son of the family, problems of one kind or another would arise.

Moreover, he and Harvey occasionally run into each other at the academy.

It was inevitable that the atmosphere would become cold when the main characters rumored to be competing for the position of head of the family encountered each other.

“…Well, okay, let’s skip that issue for now.”

Zera decided to pass the topic on to Orphee’s embarrassed words.

So Jera decided to move on to the next topic.

“There have been a lot of rumors about Javi Artur recently.”

“…I’ve heard a lot of stories.”

“You said you already know the rumor, so the story must be quick.”

” what? “

“Javi Arthur’s behavior has been very strange recently.”

“….”

Orphee just muttered without saying anything to Zera’s words.

Clearly, the current Harvey was different from the Harvey Orphee had seen in the past.

The way he spoke, his appearance, and even his dislike of Orphée were the same…but something about his momentum and atmosphere had changed.

I don’t know if my belated puberty was over, but I could be certain of one thing.

“Do you think it has changed, or was it hiding its power from the beginning?”

This is Ji-seon Lee, as mentioned by Je-ra.

Has there been a change in Harvey’s feelings, or has he been acting under a mask from the beginning?

“If the former…it would be good news for the Artur family…but if the latter…”

“…If it’s the latter, your thoughts will become very complicated.”

” that’s right. “

If it’s the former, it’s not a big problem.

Simply put, my child has changed! It’s a problem that can be ignored.

However, if it is the latter, the story is different.

What if all of Harvey, who grew up as a famous bastard in his family from a young age, was acting?

Spooky.

A horrifying sensation creeps up Zera’s body.

If Harvey quit acting now, why did he quit now? The question began to stir in Zera’s mind.

From noble mtl dot com

“That’s why I called Orphee here. I thought she might be able to know something about Harvey.”

“…Unfortunately, I don’t know much about Brother Harvey either.”

“Still, you two are brothers…”

“Even though we are brothers, we are half-brothers.”

” ah. “

Zera lets out a shallow exclamation at Orphee’s words.

As Orphée said, Harvey and Orphée are half brothers.

The environment in which I grew up, my mother, bloodline, and support group were all different.

They literally only share the name Artur, so it would be okay to have a completely male-male relationship.

“I’m also trying to find out as much as I can about Brother Harvey… but as you know, he keeps his distance from me.”

Orphee looks at Zera with a troubled expression.

“…I’m sure that’s true.”

Zera’s thoughts of finding out about Harvey were coming to an end.

If the younger brother of the family didn’t know, there was no way for him to know.

” ha… “

Only Zera’s deep sigh filled the reception room.

***************************

” I’m back. “

Harvey shakes off his clothes that are covered in iron powder and dust.

Perhaps because of his almost-death experience, Harvey’s brain was still filled with tension.

“What is that at the end?”

Moreover, just before the transfer, an unidentified youkai seen in Harvey’s vision was disturbing Harvey’s mind.

A monster that holds a huge iron statue with one hand and munches on it.

“…Is it a starfish?”

When it comes to monsters that resemble elephants, this is the first thing that comes to mind.

He was a member of the famous youkai class that gradually grew in size by eating iron.

If I had stayed in that place a little longer, not only would I have died, but my life could have been in danger.

“I’ll have to prepare more carefully next time.”

The journey that the amber necklace takes him to is unknown territory for Harvey.

It was a place where you never knew what kind of monsters might pop out.

“Once I got back safely, I’m still okay.”

Still alive.

Ironically, the fact that I had to risk my life to survive felt contradictory.

I couldn’t help it, because it was the only way to survive in this world.

Still, it wasn’t that there was no income at all.

I was able to learn more about how to handle three-legged cows and bone dogs.

The contract with the Chamsuunggeomgwi was successful.

It could be seen that the power was further strengthened.

With this, we have the tools to deal with dark groups.

“Now the main event is slowly approaching.”

A new event that will occur after the Arte incident is coming soon.

“The subject of the event was Zera.”

An event that opens a new path for Zera, who has gone completely blind since the Arte incident.

It was an event that became the biggest turning point for Zera, who would later make a name for himself as a blind swordsman.

In the original work, through sparring with Orphé, Zera awakens to being able to identify the opponent’s location with his five senses rather than with his eyes.

However, since I blocked that junction, Zera’s strengthening event was completely ignored.

“How do I do it?”

It can be said that Jera’s proportion in Chojang is overwhelming.

As a blind swordsman, Jera fights enemies with his five senses rather than his eyesight.

You will grow not only in strength but also mentally.

And Gera, who has grown up in this way, has a great influence not only on Orphée but also on Orphée’s childhood friend, Celie.

As a fellow prosecutor and senior, Zera gave me a lot of advice.

Celie perfected herself as a prosecutor based on that advice.

But all those connections were broken.

It’s none other than me.

“…I have to do something.”

Reinforcement events are a necessary step.

It was clear that if things continued like this, they would be overwhelmingly swept away by the dark forces.

Jump and jump.

I get up from my seat and walk towards the outside of the dormitory.

I remember hearing somewhere that the best growth material for humans is anger.

In any case, Harvey Artur is hated by everyone and is looked upon with hatred.

What if I sacrifice my body to strengthen Zera directly?

Perhaps, Zera could have reached a higher level than the blind swordsman Zera.

” Can not help it. “

In the end, Zera must become stronger.

To become stronger in a short period of time, you need anger.

I was the only person who could instill anger in Zera.

” let’s go. “

With the event just around the corner, there was no harm in preparing in advance.

I started to walk slowly.

There was no time to rest.
