73 – Remedy

The morning of the reception date.

Siron walked with Lucia to the building where the registration process was taking place.

Of course, we didn’t travel with two young children.

There was a commotion about an attack, so there was an iron guard surrounding them.

Inside the armored enclosure, Siron yawned long and massaged the back of his neck.

‘No matter what happened yesterday, isn’t this a bit severe?’

Siron felt a little frustrated. I walked for several minutes just looking at Yohan’s back, with all my vision blocked, regardless of whether it was forward or backward.

“Knight. When will I arrive at the reception area?”

Lucia also felt frustrated. Lucia narrowed her eyes and looked up at the back of John, who was leading the way.

“…It won’t be long. miss. “You just need to walk a little further.”

John answered without even looking back. He had been walking in silence for a while, but the voice that came out of his mouth for the first time in a while felt serious.

If it were like usual, I would have made more…insensitive jokes and shown things and told them. His current attitude was strangely cold.

And, soon enough, Lucia naturally learned why John had no choice but to do that.

Clap-

In front of me,

The sound of the joints of the armor clashing began to be heard.

That’s not the only one. A series of slightly noisy sounds told me that a group of people wearing armor was approaching.

“Lord John? “Isn’t this Sir John?”

Lucia looked at the scenery seen between the gaps between the large figures.

The owner of the voice was a man wearing red heavy armor.

His face, which appeared to be without a helmet, was just as scarred as John’s. It was not a stab wound from a knife. His face was bumpy, as if it had been crushed several times and recovered again.

“hahahaha. It was Sir John, after all. “I rushed over just in case, but it’s been a long time.”

He let out a hearty laugh and opened his mouth to John.

“It’s been such a long time. Dexter Dras. Didn’t you go on an expedition to Jeokryong Valley? “From the news I heard, I thought you were dead, but I’m so glad you’re alive and well.”

In a way, it was a formal conversation where we asked about each other’s well-being. However, John’s voice towards Dexter was extremely cold.

“But that’s because I’m busy. “I would be grateful if you could clear the way for me.”

“…this was rude.”

Dexter gestured to the large men leading him.

Then, a path appeared where only one or two people could pass.

A strange current began to flow between the two, as if something was about to happen.

“hahahaha.”

John smiled broadly.

Where has the heavy and serious attitude gone? He stared at Dexter with a dejected expression.

John did not know the meaning of what Dexter had done. Lucia and Siron clearly knew.

‘…What is that bastard fighting about?’

‘oh. at las…’

Lucia’s eyes widened at the argument that came out of nowhere, and Siron covered his mouth with both hands.

“Dexter, what are you talking about?”

“Didn’t you get out of the way?”

“hahahaha. That’s right. “How old are you for such childish pranks?”

“I just turned 40 this year.”

Dexter turned his neck this way and that as if he was warming up.

“But for some reason, Sir Hugo is nowhere to be seen at this year’s Punitive Festival.”

“So, did it seem worth doing?”

“yes.”

John covered his mouth with his hand and laughed.

Before we knew it, onlookers began to gather around the two groups.

-Is it a gang fight? Who is fighting?

-Changcheon and Red Lion.

-I can’t see Sir Hugo.

-Then I will bet 500 shillings on the red lion.

Onlookers stroked their beards with calloused hands or crossed their arms. They too are all people who use their fists. Before they knew it, small bets began to develop between them.

and.

Dexter’s future.

In front of John.

Large figures wearing armor walked forward.

John stepped back a little while holding Siron and Lucia’s hands.

“charge!”

“Dude!”

Men in blue-silver heavy armor and men in red heavy armor began to rush at each other.

Kwaang- Kwajik- Hoodduk-

A gang fight accompanied by various sounds began. None of them used magic, but as a result of their fists clashing, yellow sparks flew and a roar was heard.

Among them, there was no warrior who could not use self-defense techniques. Blue river energy formed on the fist, white teeth and red blood fluttered in the air.

“Wait a minute. It only takes a few minutes.”

“Ah, yes…”

Standing in the position of a thorough bystander, Lucia nodded toward John. Something. The festival 500 years later seemed more barbaric than before.

‘Even the Sileanians, who were called barbarians, weren’t like this.’

Lucia put the jerky Shiron gave her in her mouth and munched.

*

It’s new, but it was easy to be ignored at such a young age wherever he went. If I were to compete in a competition, would they give me the title of youngest?

Neighbors’ checks, excessive attention, and lack of experience.

He overcame all of that and won the championship with all his abilities, so the youngest title looks even brighter.

Siron could clearly guess what the emperor wanted from him.

‘Perhaps they are expecting to show something extraordinary.’

It seemed that the extraordinary had already been shown enough… but the Arwen Plateau, where the emperor had laid the foundation, needed something a little different and extraordinary.

At this time of year, the Arwen Plateau becomes a place for new faces from each family or group to show off their skills.

A thick fog spreads over a corner of the vast grassland, and hordes of demonic beasts continue to pour out of it until the fog disappears.

However, unlike the demonic beasts adjacent to the demonic realm. There are only so many demonic beasts coming out of the fog, and their strength is not that difficult to deal with.

However, they were also magical beasts.

If the pouring out magic leaks out to other territories within the empire, the damage will be a huge threat to the well-being of the empire.

Ultimately, it takes people and money to handle them. Therefore, the form of a festival had no choice but to be the most efficient remedy.

Each family and group competes to compete against each other.

Accordingly, the empire does not have to spend a lot of money, and new recruits gain great practical experience just by participating in the subjugation system.

However, there was no way Lucia would know the circumstances behind it.

‘Why are there all these places? ‘Is this a festival in the first place?’

Lucia thought as she smoothed her pounding hair.

After the commotion was over, and when they came to the temporary building where applications were accepted, Lucia began to notice something strange.

‘Because it’s a festival… and that’s because there’s a lot of hot-blooded people going around… I can barely understand why gang fights happen. there is…’

Lucia looked at John, who took the lead with her armor stained with dark red blood.

I thought he was just watching from a distance, but Johann didn’t hold back his fist when Dexter rushed at him asking if he was going to fight like a little girl.

‘It’s not a third-rate wrestler, why are knights in heavy armor having a gang fight? And no one around you will stop you?’

Besides that, many questions popped up in my head. Lucia glanced sideways at Chiron, who was walking leisurely beside her.

“Chiron.”

“huh?”

“Why are we the only children?”

It takes a day to get here from Arwen Plateau Station.

It wasn’t that Lucia couldn’t find children her age.

But here, the only children waiting in line to fill out the application form to participate in the subjugation festival were Lucia and Shiron.

Occasionally, I saw a boy who looked four or five years older than Siron. That was it. There were only people lined up, all of whom looked to be around 20 years old and could have just gone through a coming-of-age ceremony.

“And for some reason, people are only looking at us.”

“Isn’t it natural for attention to be drawn to the blood-covered knights gathered together? don’t mind.”

“Is that so?”

“That’s it. Besides, it’s easy for a child to attract attention wherever he goes.”

“…yes.”

Lucia nodded slightly and stood at the end of the queue.

One by one, the number of people decreased, and before she knew it, Lucia was able to face her older sister at the reception table.

“?”

The receptionist who faced Lucia immediately widened her eyes.

But that only lasts for a moment. She immediately lost her expression and bowed her head towards Lucia.

“ruler. here. here. “Just write your name, age, and affiliation here.”

“yes.”

[Lucia Prien]

[10]

[Prien family]

Lucia began writing one by one according to the instructions. Then he looked at Shiron standing quietly next to him.

“Shiron. Why don’t you write it down? “Aren’t you participating?”

“…I forgot. “I forgot.”

Siron took out a fountain pen from his pocket and wrote words on paper.

‘I’m sorry, Lucia. ‘I just hate being dangerous.’

[3rd prince’s friend]

[Age of the 3rd prince]

[3rd Prince Victor’s immortal friend]

“…”

‘what?’

The receptionist who checked Siron’s application frowned.

‘How can it be a joke, but it’s so easy to lose the name of the royal family…’

But I don’t bother to argue.

There was blatant playfulness on the boy’s face as he smiled.

If I even react to the noble master’s pranks, I’ll just get tired.

The receptionist was well aware of the manual on how to respond in this situation.

“…Has confirmed.”

The receptionist greeted the two people politely.

Naturally, Siron was not registered on the participation list.
