11 – Let’s look back on our footsteps

——!

—-!

“… oh.”

Lucia flinched. Are you distracted by the sound outside the window? The girl put a bookmark on the page she was reading for a while and stretched.

“Hwaam.”

Lately, I’ve been confined to my study and reading books, so I’m tired.

I decided to gather information on my own to find out what happened in the last 500 years, but progress was slower than expected.

There was a limit to the number of books that could be read in a day, and Lucia’s concentration was also limited.

Lucia could have been dissatisfied with him, but…

The sense of accomplishment of learning something new was so much fun that it was incomparable to the practice of retracing the path I had already passed. Lucia fell in love with reading to the extent that she neglected her habitual training.

From noble mtl dot com

I feel like a literary girl.

Although she didn’t like to read a single book in her previous life and her present life, deep down she felt quite happy and felt strangely satisfied.

‘It’s worth reading, too. If I knew it would be like this, I would learn to write when I have time.’

The days when she was part of the expedition as the warrior Kylie.

Because the empire invested the most resources and manpower in subjugating demons, he already knew how to speak the imperial language fluently to some extent.

‘Should I have asked Seriana or Yura to teach me? No, you can’t take away their recess. ‘What shame.’

As the war continued, literacy rates continued to decline. Eventually, those who had the ability to handle affairs began to be drafted to the rear. Thanks to this, colleagues who could read and write, let alone learn to read, were not even given a chance to rest.

Because they were always fighting on the front lines, burning their entire bodies, her colleagues, like Kylie, were unable to get proper rest.

Comparing that harsh environment to now gave me a lot of thoughts.

Practice as much as you want, do whatever you want, and eat plenty without starving.

The Prien family, which falsely refers to the descendants of warriors as they like, was truly reprehensible, but if the reason is understandable, there is nothing that cannot be taken into account. Thanks to you, I have been able to enjoy this luxury, so isn’t it ultimately beneficial to me?

‘Let’s just do this for today.’

My eyes were strained, probably because I had been reading the book for a long time. Lucia squeezed her eyes shut and looked at the untidy desk.

There were two books and a piece of paper on the desk.

One is also the Silean-Imperial Dictionary.

These are two history books that I started reading recently.

And the last one…

[Sileian-Imperial pronunciation chart for younger sister.]

Lucia held a paper coated with a thin layer of wax in her hand.

Strangely enough, the fact that the letters “younger sister” were written in large and bold letters was something that annoyed me, but I decided not to worry about it.

Even though they had different mothers, Siron was clearly Lucia’s older brother.

Is that why? If you think about it carefully, there was a part of Shiron that strangely cared for him from the beginning.

Was it about a month ago? It was the day after Lucia ran out of the study using the excuse that she was not feeling well.

-Now, watch this and study.

-What is this?

-What is it? This is something you need right now.

‘You’re really talented…’

The next morning, Siron handed a piece of paper to Lucia.

The table, which showed the pronunciation of the imperial language in the Silean script, was of such high quality that even Lucia thought it was made quite well.

At first she felt suspicious about how Siron had associated the Silean language with her, but now she decided not to care.

For a little over a month, Lucia had been watching Siron consistently commit strange acts, so she didn’t think it was a big deal.

Thanks to this, Lucia was able to learn the imperial language by making sounds and reading on her own from that day on.

It is an imperial language that I have heard, spoken, and encountered for at least eight years. Once I roughly knew how to pronounce it, learning it was a breeze.

Now that I have read books of increasing difficulty step by step, I have reached the point where I can even read history books.

Although I had no choice but to open a dictionary to find words I didn’t normally encounter, the rapid progress made was remarkable.

Grumble-

Feeling that her sore body had relaxed somewhat, Lucia stood up and finished the book she was reading.

and.

Lucia took out a new book from the bookshelf and had the library maid check it out.

If you happen to run into Siron,

Lucia reached her room by the shortest route, locked the door, and flopped down on the bed.

The book in her hand was none other than…

[The great and immortal biography of the great savior, founder Kylie]

Reading a children’s book by an unknown author has suddenly become a ritual to end her day.

Lucia hummed and opened the middle page of the book. I don’t know how many times I’ve opened it, but that part is especially worn.

[Cry. Dog star.]

[Sword God Kylie’s sword cried out. The sword that spewed out a pillar of light as if it was going to tear the world apart was feared by both God and the devil, so no one could stop it.]

‘that’s right. I must have been so strong.’

hehehehe

Lucia watched her biography with a proud smile.

Ta-bak- Ta-bak-

Lucia walked down the hallway illuminated by the soft moonlight without relying on a single lamp. Even though she didn’t really train mana, she was bright at night.

“restroom. The bathroom… Anyway, this mansion is unnecessarily large, so I’m going to wear it.”

Lucia wandered the hallways of the mansion in her nightgown at midnight. Because the toilet was in a hurry.

He wiggles his toes and holds back his urge to urinate. Drinking the black tea the maid gave me and reading a book until my eyes closed became poison.

‘I thought I’d fall asleep just like that. To make such a mistake, I’m a complete novice…’

Since ancient times, first-class military personnel have to maintain perfect conditions anytime, anywhere… Even, I woke up in the middle of my sleep because I couldn’t hold back a single pee.

Before coming to Dawn Castle, when she lived with her mother, she had been quite relaxed, but Lucia felt sorry for herself, saying that at least nothing like this had happened.

‘If I keep going like this, I might end up a lousy person. ‘I have to start training again tomorrow.’

Did you wander around like that for a long time?

‘found.’

As soon as I turned the corner, I saw a bathroom sign glowing even in the dark.

It wasn’t polite to run in the hallway, but now is not the time to worry about such trivial things. Lucia headed toward the bathroom without delay.

“phew. “I almost got into big trouble.”

As I looked at my errands, I felt a pleasant sense of liberation. Did he even wash his hands thoroughly like that?

-Clink

“… … what?”

The sound of something similar to glass breaking was heard from beyond the darkness. Lucia, who felt something strange, slowly walked towards the source of the sound.

“… … .”

“… … Siron?”

In the darkness was Siron holding a long sword.

The guy carrying a backpack on his back and wearing a mask was clearly a thief, but Lucia recognized him as Siron based on his height and body shape.

At the sound of his name being called, Siron glanced at Lucia… then turned his head to ignore her and continued rummaging through the mess of broken glass.

Lucia frowned at his suspicious behavior and approached Siron.

“Hey, what are you doing? “What are you going to do if the maid sees it in the middle of the night?”

“Shh… be quiet.”

“……What?”

Siron pretended to cover his mouth with his index finger towards Lucia.

“found.”

I found a necklace and immediately hung it around my neck.

‘what. also.’

Lucia had doubts about that natural behavior.

Siron always did unpredictable things, but this time it was especially so.

Living under the same roof with Chiron for a little over a month, I should have gotten used to his eccentricities, but I had a question mark in my head at his behavior of vandalizing property without the permission of the maids and even stealing in the middle of the night. It started to fill up.

Lucia had a feeling of foreboding.

“hey. It’s not yours… Why do you naturally hang it around your neck?”

Lucia whispered softly to Chiron and bruised him.

“… … curious?”

Instead of answering, Shiron smiled and opened the window.

A strong winter wind blows in and blows Chiron’s hair and coat.

Are you going out to sell stolen goods in that outfit?

However, Lucia decided to try her best to act calm.

“… … I am not curious.”

“really? Are you sure?”

“… … .”

Lucia noticed Siron’s expression looking unlucky today. I felt like I wanted to hit him with all my might.

“If you’re curious, you should follow me.”

After saying those words, Shiron jumped out of the window at once.

“crazy!”

Lucia quickly stuck her head out the window, but Siron had already disappeared into the darkness.

‘Is that guy really crazy?!’

Lucia forgot that she was wearing pajamas and slippers, and jumped down after Siron.

“Hey you bastard! “Aren’t you there?!”
