247 – Power that has nowhere to go

Frien’s matriarch, Glenn Frien.

Caught tied up casually. Scruffy attire. When I first saw him, I wondered what kind of beggar he was, but when I saw him, I couldn’t think of the word beggar at all.

A golden eye that does not seem to be human.

Because of the sad eyes, you might think of being friendly, but if you stay face to face for a long time, you will feel the feeling of a prey in front of a beast.

That is the reason why Glenn Prien passed through the strict security and met alone with the emperor.

Even Victor, the supreme leader of the empire, gets chills running down his spine when he sees his eyes.

…But this is largely thanks to her two childhood friends. Glenn’s golden eyes looked exactly like Lucia’s and were familiar, and his thick eyes resembled Victor’s dearest man, so he couldn’t dislike them at all.

“Hmm, it suits you well.”

Victor gazed at Glenn with a satisfied smile. He, who had been kneeling a moment ago, was groping his chest, and every time he did so, the insignia symbolizing the imperial family flashed blue light.

“is it?”

“Of course. It’s much better than before, probably because the original version is so good.”

“hmm…”

After changing into her uniform, Glenn examined her body. Try to turn your shoulders wide, sit down and get up and do it in succession. The action was more like an action to check if the clothes were suitable for the upcoming activities than to check the neatness of the clothes.

“…with one swing of the knife, it will explode.”

Glenn said, looking down at the much smaller emperor.

“Are the knights of the Empire fighting wearing something like this?”

“When you fight, of course you wear armor.”

“Hmm, that’s why the guards who were hostile until now were also wearing similar clothes.”

“Isn’t he just a guard? After all, it’s the guards commander who moves in an emergency. He’s preparing for a proper battle. Didn’t you see that too?”

“It certainly seems like it was.”

Glenn brushed his clean chin and smiled.

“I thought my older brother would fight wearing such cumbersome clothes. But I’m glad he didn’t.”

“No way.”

Victor, who was also laughing, took a step away and looked at Glenn.

‘Wouldn’t it look good on Chiron?’

Only the hair color and eyes were different, and Glenn looked completely shorn of his hair. No, is it the other way around? It would be more accurate to say that Siron resembles Glenn.

“Then what should I do next?”

Glenn fixed the holy sword, Rigil, that had been placed on the floor.

“I tidied up my appearance, changed into my uniform, and even completed the knighthood ceremony.”

“Hmm, would you like to at least try spraying some perfume? The imperial family has some in stock…”

“If spraying perfume is a knight’s duty, I want to quit right now.”

Whenever I ask to be made an article, I clearly say that I will quit right away.

A very capricious claim. It was quite a rude thing to do in front of the emperor, but Viktor nodded as if he didn’t really care.

“Do you want me to send you to the battlefield?”

“That’s right. But it doesn’t have to be a battlefield. A place where I can demonstrate my power is enough. And I think it would be even better if it’s something ‘only I’ can do.”

“This is something only you can do…”

“To put it more simply, there is probably no swordsman stronger than me on the continent. I have never lost since we crossed swords.”

“It’s ironic that such a proud person falls under someone else.”

Glenn tilted his head and looked at Victor, who smiled.

“Why are you smiling? If you think what I’m saying is a lie, I can prove it right now.”

“It’s not like that.”

“what?”

“That’s because I don’t understand why such a proud person would willingly think of falling under someone else.”

“…But I heard that your brother is also working for the empire. While I was here, I heard rumors about the Empire’s First Sword. Isn’t that such a strange thing?”

More than 20 years ago. I could hear the story of my older brother, who ran out of the castle during the head of the family inauguration ceremony and never saw his face even a few times, all the way here to the imperial palace.

“That’s not the story.”

“then?”

“I heard that even when circumstances made Sir Hugo his own person, Sir Hugo bowed his head to no one.”

“…”

“It means I didn’t fall under someone else of my own free will.”

“…I just needed someone to lead me. It’s not that I like being under someone else.”

Glenn sighed and unclenched his fists. At some point, the hands that had been exerting strength had deep fingernail marks.

‘that’s interesting. The appearance is the same as Siron, but the inside is similar to Lucia.’

Victor also clearly saw the traces. The apparent mental confusion left her with many emotions.

“Okay then. Please ask me to deal with the man who is coming here now.”

Among the comments was also about Glenn’s treatment. How can you ignore the continent’s best swordsman asking you to use him? Viktor waved his hand toward the open door of the throne room even though he had not been specifically ordered to do so.

‘There are a lot of easy-going customers today.’

Siron Prien. A black-haired friend approached me with a graceful step. Glenn raised an eyebrow at the emperor’s 180-degree change in attitude.

“You came sooner than I thought? Still, I thought you would rest at home for a few days and then come back.”

“Can we talk about work later? I’m a little busy.”

“…nothing.”

Siron, who looked exactly like Glenn in terms of height and face, passed by Victor. Victor, who took a step back, felt that the atmosphere of the father-son reunion was not very friendly.

“Matriarch.”

Siron never called Glenn father.

“Let’s go home. Your family is waiting for you.”

“…Family? It’s okay if you’re talking about my older brother. I can’t even say that my relationship with my older brother is very good.”

“Isn’t Yuma a member of the family? What about the guardians of the Dawn Castle?”

“you.”

“Of course I go too… I’m a member of my father’s family!”

“…”

“Let’s go. Victor has a lot to do and is a busy person. I don’t have time to deal with him leisurely.”

Siron pulled Glenn’s hand and stared at Victor.

“Right? Viktor.”

“No, I’m fine…”

“What? I can’t hear you very well.”

“…Hmm. Now that I think about it, you seem busy. My father came to visit me while I was giving an afternoon lecture, so I think you came at just the right time.”

“Right? Then I’ll come back later and see you then. I was very rude today.”

Siron patted Viktor on the shoulder and hurried his steps. Victor sighed as he watched Siron roughly leave the throne room.

Regarding Prien’s dawn, Viktor is also aware of its existence with only a small amount of documents, but now that the eldest and second brothers have been dethroned, the relevant departments have been completely blown away. Victor knew his friend’s personality, so he didn’t even take the trouble to find out.

However, I couldn’t help but pay attention to the complicated family life that was revealed on the surface.

‘Maybe it’s because I grew up under Sir Hugo, but I always hesitated to call him father.’

You may think this is pointless nonsense, but Victor also has an unusual family history. So I couldn’t help but be interested in the misaligned relationship between father and son.

“Did Yuma order it?”

Inside the running wagon. Glenn said with his eyes fixed outside the window. Shiron sighed heavily and rested his chin as he stared at Glenn.

“What was that sharp reaction? Did you fight with Yuma?”

“…If leaving the castle on your own and not returning was a fight, then you could say it was a fight.”

“You didn’t fight.”

“…”

“Yuma didn’t ask me to do it. I stopped him from even going to see my father.”

In short, it was a dogmatism of poetry.

As soon as Siron heard of Glenn’s location, he prepared to go to the imperial castle. Yuma was horrified and suggested he think again, but since he knew where he was, why couldn’t he go catch a middle-aged man who ran away from home?

Glenn’s eyes widened as if he had heard an unexpected answer.

“Why? Do you think I’m lying?”

“…Don’t you think Yuma must have a reason to visit you? He’s the one who never came out of the castle for fear of interfering with the secular world and twisting providence. He probably didn’t leave the castle just to see your face.”

“I’ll tell you exactly.”

Siron straightened his back and stared at Glenn.

“Yuma was worried about his father.”

“me?”

“Yes. I heard you’ve been skipping meals… and even going to the devil’s office a few times to drink.”

Yuma stopped Shiron and told him many stories. He also said that it was heartbreaking to see him wandering around as if he had lost his purpose, as if he were seeing his old self. It seemed like a milestone had been reached at the end of his wandering actions, so he told everyone that he didn’t feel comfortable blocking Glenn’s path.

Yuma’s voice was wet as he told Glenn’s story.

The devil shed tears because he was worried about the safety of humans.

This doesn’t make sense.

This is especially true for humans who are no better than tools, who have spent their entire lives seeking revenge.

“Why did you run away from home?”

Since he knew Yuma’s situation at least roughly, Shiron had no choice but to take action immediately. There was no hesitation when I asked Glenn.

“Are you shocked to learn that Prien is not a descendant of a warrior?”

There was no hesitation in taking out the card. Glenn opened his eyes and stood up.

“Is it the power of prophecy?”

“That can’t be right.”

“then…”

“Yuma told me. He asked me the once-in-a-lifetime favor.”

The one-horned devil.

The woman I saw before leaving the house could not possibly be considered a devil. Although she hid her horns in order to function in the human world, at least in Siron’s opinion, Yuma was a woman with warmer maternal love than anyone else.

“What favor…”

Glenn couldn’t meet Siron’s eyes directly. Until now, he had never acted like a father, nor had we even spoken to him a few times. Glenn was even more unfamiliar with poetry than Lucia.

“Find the meaning of life and soothe it.”

“…”

“Not only my father, but everyone at Dawn Castle.”

Knock- the carriage stopped. I opened the door myself and looked at the front door of the mansion. Eldrina and… Lucia were there. Lucia saw Glenn from the carriage and hid behind Eldrina.

“I don’t know if that’s even a request, but let’s have a meal together, right?”

“Ummm…”

Glenn’s eyes widened as he looked at Lucia.
