9 – If you do this well,

As soon as I entered the study room, I was greeted by the warm smell of books. When I closed my eyes and felt that atmosphere, my face, which had been extremely hot, calmed down before I knew it.

‘good.’

Lucia looked around the study with a calm mind.

Dawn Castle, one of the many castles in Prien, was quite large in scale as it had symbolic meaning as it was the first castle.

It was the same in the study room. The number of books that have been preserved intact for 500 years is truly enormous, so one can naturally guess its scale.

Lucia walked lightly and cautiously.

Although it was a private space with only the maid guarding the study and Siron, who had come before Lucia, it reminded me of the advice my friends had given me in the past.

‘It’s common sense to be quiet in the library.’

‘why?’

‘Well… to put it simply, people who like books don’t like to be disturbed. Don’t you hate it when someone interferes with your training?’

‘… … I feel like I know somehow.’

Her colleagues taught Kylie a lot of things, even though she only knew about fighting. There was a time when they made fun of her and called her a barbarian, but when asked about things she didn’t know, she didn’t bother her and kindly explained it to her, and Kylie learned quickly.

The conversation that took place not just before he died, but much longer ago was clear. It’s amazing.

Sniff-

Is it because it brought back old memories? Lucia’s nose got cold and tears welled up in her eyes.

“… … Ugh.”

Lucia wiped the tears that slipped through her sleeve. I lowered my head and clenched my teeth in case someone saw me.

‘What happened to everyone after I died? Still, since they are all one-of-a-kind people, they must have eaten well and lived well, right? There’s no way the empire wouldn’t take care of it after all that hardship…’

Sometimes I think like that.

The one-horned Yuma is alive. That fact gave Lucia hope. Yuma, who was seriously injured in a fight 500 years ago, is still alive today, so wouldn’t the other kids be alive too? It was hard to let go of expectations.

‘Seira is an elf, so let’s stop.’

match-

Lucia slapped my cheeks with both hands and made up her mind.

Not two or three hundred years, but five hundred years.

I couldn’t be tied down by the past forever. Now I had to hurry and find the book I couldn’t finish.

Lucia went between the bookshelves and looked for the book she had read yesterday.

From noble mtl dot com

[Sileian-Imperial Dictionary]

In her hands was a thick dictionary and a children’s book that looked quite easy to read. It was thin and contained illustrations, so it must have been made for children.

Sileia was the name of an ethnic group that defined Kylie’s identity before being chosen by the sword. Now there is no way to know whether it was destroyed or what happened to it. Even if he tried to research, the level of difficulty in history was too high for his current state of not being able to read even a children’s book.

There is an order to everything.

The goal is to first read children’s books properly.

Now that you’ve chosen a book to read, all you have to do is find a place to sit still and concentrate.

Fortunately, there is a spot reserved in advance.

Lucia’s exclusive seat that has been in the study for the past week.

This famous place has a window right next to it and lets in plenty of sunlight, making you feel happy…

Sarah-

Sarah-

“… … .”

Unfortunately, there was a passenger.

‘… … ‘It’s my place.’

Lucia lowered her eyes and hugged the book tightly.

Siron had already taken his place where Lucia had stayed until yesterday.

Since he was in the study before Lucia, I figured he must have settled down somewhere. However, I had no idea that that spot was Lucia’s favorite spot.

‘That guy also has an eye for location.’

Lucia tried to give up, but her eyes did not move easily, probably due to lingering regret.

That’s not the only reason the snow doesn’t fall.

Several thick books and stylish writing utensils captured Lucia’s attention as if she were mesmerized.

Lucia opened her eyes wide and was astonished at the amazing sight.

‘No way, you read all that?’

One, two, three… nine, eleven, eleven. A pile of as many as eleven books was piled up like a tower on the desk.

Even if you think about it with common sense, it was not an amount to read in a day.

Contrary to Lucia’s concerns, however, Shiron opened one of them in front of me and turned the pages casually.

Did he even notice the gaze that had been watching him for a long time? Chiron lifted her head slightly to look at Lucia… Then she smiled and focused on her work again.

“!”

Lucia hurriedly hid the imperial language dictionary and children’s book behind her back.

My face was angry and red, and I felt ashamed.

Two years old… even though it was a two year age difference. It was because the books Shiron was looking at looked incredibly difficult.

The cover is finished with luxurious leather, the bookmark strap is made of woven silk, and the title is stylishly engraved in golden ink…

For some reason, the level of the book that Lucia had picked up seemed to be different from that of a snotty child.

Lucia lowered her head as she compared the difference in level.

‘Yes, there are many other seats, right? It’s not like I wrote anything down…’

Lucia closed her eyes tightly and shook off her regrets.

*

It was no coincidence that Lucia’s ‘famous place’ was taken away.

As soon as Yuma heard about Lucia’s movements, he gave up his daily practice and even went to the trouble of asking the maid in charge of the study early in the morning where Lucia usually sits.

Of course, it wasn’t just for the purpose of teasing.

I put a lot of energy into it and even made a promise to learn a new language, but I didn’t have any problems reading the text, as if I had memories of it before I was possessed.

The car lost steam due to the desire to lose its destination…

‘Things just got more fun.’

Siron hid his face behind a book and laughed.

Of course, Lucia’s reaction to losing her seat was funny, but the moment I saw the title of the book she was holding, I had a hard time holding back my laughter.

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

The modifier ‘great’ was used twice. I can only imagine how fanatical the content will be.

‘Did he choose it knowing what it was about?’

Siron stopped putting the book in his head and looked at Lucia. She was sitting quite far away from Shiron and was frowning and groaning.

‘Let’s stop. I’m not in a position to blame anyone.’

It wasn’t that Siron couldn’t understand Lucia’s feelings. Since I had a similar experience with Shiron in my previous life, I decided to be generous and pretend not to know.

‘Yeah, I heard his mad movie came out, so I can watch it.’

When there was a time in a game where something he thought was a bit crappy, he would carefully edit it and upload it on the internet.

I was convinced that I could watch some of the crazy mad movies of the deceased while he was alive.

‘If I had laughed there, I would have been hit again and passed out. ‘Cancer, of course.’

Siron giggled, put ink on the pen tip, and continued his work.

*

“Ugh… Ugh.”

Lucia groaned.

The reason is obvious. It was because the book didn’t make any progress for several hours, even until the sun went down.

I don’t know what’s so difficult about the imperial language.

After looking up the dictionary for the past few days, I realized something.

First of all, there are separate masculine and feminine endings. Up to this point I could somehow accept it, but that wasn’t the only problem.

There are no rules for plural and singular forms.

There are so many types of conjunctions that it is difficult to memorize them.

There are as many as six tenses. It also comes from a mixture of irregularity and regularity.

There are quite a lot of idioms. They use all kinds of rhetoric mixed in when they could just say that the sunlight is strong.

Every time a new word appeared, I had to look through the dictionary, and when I finally found it, another word came up again.

Lucia hit her head on the desk.

“I really… can’t do it.”

“Is there something wrong? “Can I help you?”

When I heard a sound and looked up, what I saw was Siron’s smiling face. Lucia pretended there was no problem and avoided eye contact.

It was because I didn’t want to be treated like a child who couldn’t even read storybooks on his own.

“… … it’s okay.”

“okay? Then I’ll go. Good luck.”

Surprisingly, Siron turned his back without any hesitation.

Lucia saw Siron’s back gradually moving further away.

I had a somewhat intellectual feeling as I stacked the books scattered around and carried them back to their original places, probably because I had read them all.

‘indeed. Are you saying you’re a master?’

Lucia watched for a while, and many thoughts passed through her head.

Was it about time for Siron to put away his writing utensils?

“excuse me… … .”

“huh? “Why, help me?”

“… … huh.”

Lucia nodded with a very gloomy face.

Although her pride was hurt, she couldn’t help it.

It was a situation where he was learning something from a 10-year-old child… but the moment he thought that Siron was the child of an educated nobleman, the emotional hurdle was lowered.

furthermore.

It was the last bit of pride I had to ask Yuma or the other maids, and I was more reluctant to learn something from the demons who had been hostile to me my whole life.

Although Lucia showed off the nape of her neck while being attended to by them, the mental barrier she had built up throughout her life was not easily broken down.

Siron sat next to Lucia and spoke in a kind voice.

“What’s the problem?”

“It’s all… a problem…”

“entire? So you don’t know what this is all about? And then you chose this book?”

“… … huh.”

Siron leaned back as if he was dumbfounded. Lucia, seeing that action, could only blink.

She still had no way of knowing what the content of the book she had chosen was causing such a reaction.

Siron washed his face dry once and then slowly opened his mouth.

“Listen carefully.”

“huh.”

Siron put away the dictionary Lucia was looking at and pointed to the letters on the book cover. Lucia concentrated with the sole intention of not missing any of Siron’s finger movements and voice.

“The Great Savior”

“Great Savior?”

“Originator Kylie’s”

“Sijo… Kylie’s?”

Lucia felt an ominous feeling for a moment, but Siron’s mouth did not stop speaking.

“A great biography of the great savior, founder Kylie, who will be immortal forever… But you are also very amazing.”

“… … .”

“I’ve listened to the praises of our ancestors so hard that it makes me vomit just looking at them, but somehow this is what you chose.”

“… … .“

“Honestly, I think this book is too pretentious. You have to do enough to float it. Tsk tsk”

Can you split a mountain with a single sword, split a cloud into pieces, and walk on water? huh? Siron laughed as if it was funny, asking if that was true or not.

“sorry. “I’m not feeling well.”

It was difficult to hold on any longer. My face was so hot that I couldn’t breathe properly.

Lucia cut off Siron’s waist and jumped up from her seat and headed toward the doorway.

“uh. okay. “Take care of yourself.”

He lowered his head and stared at Lucia’s back as she ran away.

The shape of Siron’s mouth, which Lucia had been unable to see because she was trembling with self-destruction, was something she would never know for the rest of her life.
