248 – welcome party

“Our chef tried his hand at it, and I don’t know if it will suit your taste buds.”

A gorgeous dining table illuminated by a chandelier.

Lucia, who was sitting at the end of it, couldn’t lift her head even as Eldrina continued to speak.

The reason is,

It wasn’t because I wanted to gobble up the soup in front of me, but because this seat was so uncomfortable that I could barely even raise my head.

“…Oh my, this is my first time eating food like this.”

“I’m glad that it suits your taste. If there is a dish you like, please let the staff know at any time.”

“Thank you for your concern, ma’am.”

The devil hiding his horns trembled and expressed his gratitude. Just looking at it is a sight that makes skin grow on your forearms. Pressing one’s hand against one’s chest and politely bowing one’s head to a mere human was something that not only Lucia but even Kylie had never seen before.

“I am grateful that you look after my children, but I never thought I would be treated like this…”

Glenn, who was calmly sipping wine, helped out.

“Really. Your sister-in-law must have worked hard.”

“No, sir. As someone who knows him, I am sorry for not being able to prepare this situation sooner.”

“Don’t say that. I’m the one who should have said hello to you first. Now that I think about it, I didn’t even attend my brother’s wedding… I really don’t have a worse brother.”

Although Glenn had lived most of his life in the countryside with the devil, he seemed to have no social experience at all, and he skillfully accepted Eldrina’s response.

Compared to Yuma, it was an ordinary scenery with nothing to worry about, but if that was all, it was no reason for Lucia to hang her head down and not even eat her food.

“…”

thump thump thump.

Lucia’s chest exploded at the blatant energy pouring out.

Glenn had been conscious of Lucia ever since.

When did it start… It was from the time I got off the carriage.

Even when Chiron asks what kind of uniform he is wearing,

Even when talking to Yuma in the separate building, he was conscious of Lucia. Even now, when she is talking with Eldrina, it is no exception, and Lucia’s stomach is so twisted that it’s almost punctured in real time.

I want to be so shaken by the fact that only one person’s consciousness is being poured out. The biggest problem was that Lucia was in a position where she could not face Glenn directly.

Glenn knows Lucia’s identity. This is not a problem. The person who revealed his identity in the first place was Luciani Glenn, and it has been a long time since he promised to meet him at least later.

However, the fact that less than a week had passed since Lucia enjoyed Siron… was a very big problem.

Lucia was not Glenn’s daughter, and Prien was not Kylie’s descendant, but Siron was clearly Glenn Prien’s biological son.

so,

How on earth would Glenn, who knows Lucia’s true identity, view Lucia?

From noble mtl dot com

This is the main policy…

His wife, who had been dead for hundreds of years, wasn’t enough to seduce his only son and ate him!

of course!

Since he does not yet know what happened between Siron and Lucia, Lucia cannot know what Glenn is thinking about her.

But isn’t there a saying that makes thieves lose their senses? It was also natural for Lucia to become anxious.

Why are you conscious of me? Did you have any conversations in the carriage? Did Siron reveal that he had s*x with me? But Shiron is not that kind of man…

“Lucia.”

Just as I was about to sink my nose into the warm soup, Eldrina called out to Lucia in a kind voice. Lucia was startled and looked at the head of the table.

“What are you thinking so hard about? Is there anything uncomfortable?”

“Yes… Yes?”

“Maybe you don’t want to eat food, or you’ve been keeping your head down without even lifting your utensils.”

“Well, that can’t be possible!”

“Really? Then, let’s stop by before the food gets cold. Hearst worked hard to make it, so we should think of his hard work.”

“…yes.”

Lucia finished the soup in an instant and started cutting a large steak.

I wondered if they were making a fuss about the friendly name, but it was a polite shouting that could be shown in front of guests.

You can tell just by looking at their eyes.

A smiling mouth, pale eyes above it.

‘It’s an auspicious occasion, so don’t ruin the atmosphere.’

Satisfied with Lucia’s understanding of his intentions, Eldrina looked at Glenn again.

“I don’t know if I scolded you in front of you for no reason.”

“…You don’t have to worry about me. I wasn’t faithful to my family anyway. I don’t know if I have the right to scold you. hahahaha.”

Glenn smiled brightly at Eldrina’s gaze.

The sight of a hero being scolded 500 years ago without being able to utter a word was surprisingly entertaining, but the reason for his laughter was something else.

‘I’m glad your brother seems to be doing well.’

Neither Hugo nor his daughter Siriel were present, but Glenn could quickly see what kind of woman Eldrina was and what the atmosphere of the mansion was like by watching the scenery she commanded.

With a sharp wife. A harmonious family.

These are things Glenn never had.

‘I’m jealous.’

Hugo always had a stern expression on his face whenever he faced Glenn.

And Glenn knew deep down why his brother hated him so much.

Inferiority and envy. Those raw emotions existed between Glenn and Hugo.

The last time he saw Hugo, those feelings seemed to have faded somewhat, but even now, Glenn could vividly recall the scene when Hugo ran away.

20 years ago now. It was the day of the coming-of-age ceremony.

The great giant Atmos said as he looked at Hugo in his younger days.

-It’s yours. It’s a fairy greatsword. Write well.

Cheolkeong-

A sword falls at Hugo’s feet. A large and thick greatsword. It was a luxury product that was significantly different from the items Hugo had used before.

However, Hugo did not pick up the great sword right away.

-Prien, the most excellent, a sword just for you. Star Sword. It’s Lee Gil.

“Congratulations! Congratulations!”

Clap clap clap – the one-eyed fairy Dolby flew over and placed the holy sword in Glenn’s hand.

“Do you know how much effort it took to make this? From now on, cherish it, treat it like a lover, and be careful whether it sleeps or wakes! It’s a sword that will protect you, so cut the apostle to pieces!”

“…thank you.”

“Enough with the honorifics! The moment you receive this sword, you become the head of Prien! You don’t have to bow your head to anyone!”

Glenn nodded silently at Dolby’s command. And he cut through the clouds with his sword.

Solid white lines appeared in the red clouds, and a storm raged, creating a huge vortex.

…a novelty that Hugo could never achieve.

Hugo looked away and pulled out the great sword that was lying on the floor. Hugo, like Glenn, pulled out his sword and showed it. A blue river rose on his sword face, and a storm raged around him.

Compared to what Glenn had just achieved, it was a shabby result.

As expected, the guardians of the Dawn Castle showed signs of disappointment, and the giant mountain Atmos and the one-eyed Dolby did not even glance at them.

“You are wonderful.”

Only Yuma spoke to Hugo.

“That inaction will be enough to work in the secular world. Maybe we can discuss who is the strongest of mankind.”

“…Thank you.”

“Your father in heaven will be proud.”

“…”

“And I believe you will do well when you go down the mountain range. But before you do that, you must return to the castle and hold a banquet…”

“thanks.”

Hugo did not let Yuma speak until the end. He crossed the mountain range alone, and Glenn felt a lot of emotions from Hugo’s back at that time.

When they returned to the castle, Hugo was erasing all traces of himself.

I packed my clothes into a bundle, cleaned up my room, and burned the unnecessary items in the fireplace.

“Brother. Where are you going?”

“…Go away.”

Hugo walked past Glenn. The sound of teeth grinding can be heard as he walks down the hallway.

Glenn couldn’t stop Hugo. All he can do is watch Hugo run through the foggy window.

Flash-

Perhaps it was a moment when he was reminiscing about the past, but Glenn’s vision became dark.

And my vision became clear, as if a black curtain had been lifted. However, the reflected view was not the view of the restaurant seen just a moment ago.

Quiet fields.

A cool breeze scratched his skin. When I looked down, my hands were stained red. As I went down further, the red dot on my chest was getting bigger and bigger.

-Glen!

And what is that sound you hear in your ears…

‘…older brother.’

Glenn was unfazed. It’s a familiar feeling. However, it was a long time ago, so there was a little unfamiliarity.

A prophecy that hadn’t been seen for months.

‘It was this.’

cool-

After a dry cough, Glenn stared straight ahead. Opposite him was Chiron. The black eyes had been directed at Glenn all along.

“Western?”

Eldrina looked at Glenn in surprise. Everyone present widened their eyes. A trickle of blood dripped from his nose onto the white tablecloth.

“Blood, blood… Hey, come on, get a warm towel. And Chiron, come on and heal your father.”

“…It’s nothing, sister-in-law.”

Glenn stopped Eldrina from getting up.

“This happens often. So, please finish eating. I will go in first and rest. Yuma, please sit down too.”

“I will go with you.”

Siron left the restaurant with Glenn in tow. And he quietly muttered while supporting Glenn.

“How was it?”

“…What do you mean?”

Glenn asked Siron in a half-hoarse voice.

“Didn’t you see what to do?”

“…”

“It’s nice to put on a uniform and act like a knight, but there are things you have to do first. Don’t you have something written down that you must do before you die?”

“Did you… see it too?”

“Not at all.”

Siron brought the brilliant light to Glenn’s face.

“If you are not destined to become the head of a family, how can you see your future?”

“…I miss you, brother.”

After the large hand was removed, the first thing Glenn saw was Siron’s wry smile.
