24 – Someone must be so busy

The holy sword test is also over.

Siron sent all the maids out of the room. With so many guests coming, the mansion was short on manpower, so it was difficult to keep them there.

Clap-

Siron closed the door tightly.

I even hung a sign on the front door asking people not to enter in case anyone disturbed me.

Now, there are only Shiron and Bertha in the spacious room.

“I barely have time until I eat.”

Siron put the holy sword into his necklace, brought a chair and sat down in front of Bertha. His expression was full of playfulness.

“How are you, Bertha? “I just saw that.”

“… … .”

“Can I trust you to accept whatever offer I make?”

“… … .”

Bertha nodded instead of answering. Her tightly closed mouth seemed to show her resolve not through words but through actions.

As Siron said, we have come this far, so it is absurd to refuse his offer.

Even if she pretends to be crazy and refuses, I wonder if I can get out of here safely.

The knights were camped outside. Inside the mansion, demons radiating tingling magical energy are wandering around.

Bertha swallowed, remembering the looks that had been directed at her a moment ago.

“good. “It’s good that you understand the situation quickly.”

Siron leaned against the backrest and spoke softly. In order to secure inclusion, we even prepared such an inconvenient place.

He had spent all the cards he could afford in the current situation, but it would be difficult for him if he showed signs of refusal.

Siron slowly closed his eyes and opened his mouth.

“The proposal is nothing special. “I’m asking you to add some edits to the report you’ll upload above, according to my taste.”

“… … “Is that all?”

Berta blinked after hearing Siron’s suggestion.

“why? Is this too boring? “What on earth were you thinking?”

“Oh, no. “You can edit or edit as much as you want.”

At Bertha’s reaction, Siron narrowed his closed eyes and glared at her. What kind of mistake did I have to make me feel so embarrassed?

“No, it’s not true. Well, did you think I would at least put shackles on you?”

“… … It’s similar.”

Bertha hesitated for a moment and reluctantly answered. The way he put his hands on his knees and lowered his eyes looked like he was being scolded by someone.

Siron sighed and pressed his eyebrows.

“Well, really. I feel sorry for you. I thought I did a good enough job. “I fed him, put him to sleep, and even showed him the holy sword on purpose so that he could have his name engraved in history.”

“Your name in history…?”

“okay.”

From noble mtl dot com

Engrave your name in history.

A truly unexpected sound came out of Siron’s mouth and Berta flinched slightly.

And Siron did not miss her reaction. The corners of his narrowed eyes were bent.

“you. “Don’t you want to be recognized by the police department?”

“of course.”

Berta responded immediately to Siron’s slightly flustered rhyme. The reason why Bertha, who was from an aristocratic background, left her family and chose a tough job as a special force was because she had a talent for swordsmanship, but also had a goal of being recognized by others for her own strength.

However, the words that came out of Siron’s mouth quite surprised her.

“however. “As far as I know, if you keep going like this, you won’t get promoted for the next 10 years and you’ll just be wasting your time cleaning up sh*t.”

“…What on earth are you talking about?

I’ve been working in an organization for 10 years, but it’s stagnating. Is it because I heard such a terrible future? Her mouth slowly opened.

“… … “Is that also the revelation you mentioned last time?”

“why? “Don’t you believe it when you think about it?”

“Well… anyone would do that. “Why on earth did I give a separate revelation?”

Of course, you can’t help but have doubts. The little boy in front of you tells you not just the immediate future, but the entire 10 years’ worth of future. To be honest, Siron’s words seemed like a lie.

Was it quite a shock? Bertha lowered her head and clenched her fists.

After a while, Bertha slowly raised her head.

“… … “Then can I ask you one more question?”

“What.”

“Why are you teaching me about the future like that? “I think you are being too kind to someone like me who has nothing.”

“her. Are you stupid? “I was wondering what you were asking.”

Siron burst out laughing as if he was dumbfounded.

“Why do I have to tell you all that?”

“… … .”

“Just yes! And accept it. Why are there so many doubts even though they say they will treat you well? “Have you been deceived all your life?”

Siron jumped up from his chair. And then he took long strides behind Bertha.

Thump-

Siron, holding Bertha’s shoulders with both hands as hard as he could, put his mouth to her ear and whispered.

“As I said before, coming all this way and refusing is not a good choice at all. You just have to grab the string I hold out. “Why do I talk so long when an easy path is right in front of me?”

“That’s right.”

Berta spoke in a crawling voice.

The boy whispered sweetly like the devil. The more his voice penetrated my ear, the more my solar plexus hurt. Her chest felt like it was being pressed by something as the hand stroked and pressed her shoulder.

Berta’s trembling, slightly twitching, was transmitted through Siron’s hand.

“I like you. That is why they are given special treatment.”

“… … thank you.”

“If you’re really curious, I’ll tell you just a little bit.”

Berta swallowed and focused on the breath she felt in her ears. Shiron had a little time to think about it, then put his mouth close to her ear and said.

“Where and how long is the church hiding?”

Berta’s body trembled at Shiron’s words.

This master knows too much.

Every time this happens, I am surprised.

It’s been 500 years since Prien’s ancestor, Kylie Prien, destroyed the demons, but the traces haven’t disappeared yet.

The denomination is like that.

These are the apostles who roam the continent claiming that the will of the true savior is here.

There’s no way Bertha doesn’t know that. This was because her karma was somewhat related to that part. I pondered the situation and listened to Siron’s words.

“Isn’t it strange? “500 years have passed and we still haven’t been able to squeeze out that rotten pus.”

“then… … .”

Berta bit her lip a few times before finally opening her mouth.

Siron’s words were not a matter to be easily overlooked.

“Then why don’t you tell Hugo? “If he steps forward, it won’t be long before things are sorted out.”

Bertha spoke cautiously.

Hugo Prien is praised as the strongest knight. As far as Bertha knew, there was no one who could stand against him.

“Of course, I can borrow my uncle’s power. by the way.”

Siron held out the necklace in front of Bertha.

“Those bastards can’t be properly killed without a holy sword. Even if you cut off its head or burn its limbs, it will come back to life in a distant demonic realm over time.”

His eyes were not looking at Bertha.

“So, I should do it, not my uncle, who can’t even use his holy power properly, let alone the holy sword.”

“I can’t do this for long.”

After sending Bertha away, Siron lay down on the bed. When I do something that doesn’t suit me, my hands and feet shrivel up and I want to kick the blanket.

‘Is tomorrow the succession ceremony?’

Things are going very smoothly, but I am not at ease.

“under… … .”

Chiron sighed into the air as he recalled the contents of the game.

‘It was probably crossing a frozen lake.’

If it is the contents of the succession ceremony, you already know.

There is a lake a short distance from Dawning.

The children of Prien cross the frozen lake barefoot before spring arrives in this place where there is a snowstorm all year round. That’s it.

Even though it’s really simple, Shiron sinks to the bottom of the lake alone. As if it was a predestined destiny.

Although it would have been easier for Siron to kill the troll. There’s nothing I can do about it. You cannot change hundreds of years of tradition on your own.

It was an insignificant event, but I couldn’t help but feel distraught.

‘I’ve experienced situations where I’m tired of taking on challenges even though I know there will be a bad future.’

Sometimes, I challenged myself to live up to the expectations of those around me.

Also, there were times when I took on a challenge because everyone else was doing it but I wasn’t doing it.

It usually didn’t end well.

Although I have lived a life where I am more accustomed to failure than success, I can never get used to the shock of failure.

-smart

“come in.”

When I was pondering my troubled thoughts. There was a knock on the door. I guess it was meal time.

“Excuse me.”

However, instead of the maids who would normally bring food in a cart, Yuma came.

“… … “What about dinner?”

‘Could it be that I’m starving before the succession ceremony?’

Siron got up from the bed. I felt sick due to the arduous schedule.

“Hugo is calling.”

“My uncle? why?”

“It’s been a while since the family got together, so they asked us to have dinner together.”

Yuma said with a smile as he conveyed Hugo’s intentions.

*

The banquet hall that no one had visited for a long time was opened, and the workers were busy moving around and putting various types of food that they had never seen before on a large table.

‘Wouldn’t it be okay if I served it like this on a regular basis?’

Siron quenched his appetite while looking at the food on the table.

The only food he usually ate was simply cooked bread and meat. But now the table was full of food full of spices.

But they don’t reach out first just because they’re hungry. Hugo, who was sitting across from Siron, had not lifted anything yet.

Naturally, it is Hugo who exudes presence at the round table.

The children who will attend the succession ceremony tomorrow and Yuma, wearing a black dress, sat around a round table.

“It’s not often that the whole family gets a chance to get together like this.”

Hugo, who was sitting across from Siron, looked at the glass full of whiskey and opened his mouth. Even though the glass in his hand was quite large, when Hugo held it, it felt like a paper cup.

“I created this event because I thought it would be better to spend time together and have fun, rather than being nervous about the big day of the succession ceremony. “Then let’s eat.”

Hugo took a sip of whiskey and then wiped his hands with the wet towel placed in front of him.

Siron imitated Hugo and looked to the side. There was a scene that really caught my attention.

‘When did they become so close?’

Sitting next to Hugo, Siriel and Lucia were chattering with smiles on their faces.

A carefree attitude.

Some people are having a hard time.

‘I’m pissed…’

Siron nervously put his fork into his steak.
