133. Laios Mountains (3)

Road to the Laios Mountains.

“Sir Zeke Kleiman.”

“Well?”

Zeke looked back at the voice calling him.

“I deeply apologize for my rudeness in the past. I misunderstood you and treated you kindly. Please, forgive me.”

“… … .”

Sedan Yoheiden, the second of the Yoheiden family, bowed his head deeply to Zeke and delivered an apology.

Contrary to the expectation that he would accept the apology right away because he conveyed his apology with proper etiquette

Zeke looked at himself with cold eyes. He seemed to be thinking hard about something.

Sedan was terribly embarrassed.

“Why, why are you… … .”

Sedan looked hesitantly and asked in a creeping voice.

A dry gulp went down his throat.

‘What, what… … ? Also… … . Was it a problem that I rushed first that day… … !’

Zeke Kleiman and he did not have a very good relationship from the first meeting.

Serena, the one and only sister, whose cuteness and loveliness cannot be fully expressed no matter what modifiers in the world are used.

2 months and 12 days, 6 hours and 20 minutes.

At the touching moment of the reunion that I had been waiting for so long, a black man suddenly intervened, so I couldn’t help it that my judgment was clouded and I put on colored glasses to look at him.

‘Ha, but… … . He was holding a broken blade inside Joheiden’s mansion. You cursed me in the face first! And he shamelessly hid behind Serena’s back and even threw out strange words… … !’

Where else could he, the son of the Duke of Joheiden, have been treated like that?

Of course, if it were his older brother, the Duke of Sox, he would have calmly looked at the situation and asked a few questions to clear up the misunderstanding about Zeke quickly.

Even so, I never thought I would accept an apology like this for a mistake I made when I didn’t know what to do.

His face was filled with resentment.

However, the rank of the man named Zeke Kleiman had already far surpassed himself.

His strength was also strong, but the grace of his mouth was immeasurable.

“I’m sorry. That day, I didn’t even know the subject and I insulted Eun-gong!!”

In the end, I had no choice but to dig deeper.

Meanwhile, Zeke, who had the sedan in front of him, was tilting his head at the subtle familiarity.

‘It’s like this asshole, but I don’t hate it… … . why are you so used to it? Where else have you seen him?’

Zeke stroked my chin and examined Sedan’s face.

Dark eyebrows and silver hair similar to Serena.

What would it look like if Serena’s gender was changed to male and the lines thicker?

To be a fully grown adult, there was still a bit of youthfulness left.

According to Serena, she graduated from Ramielli Academy right before Serena enrolled, with a difference of just four years.

Although he has a low boiling point and has an impatient side, as soon as he realized his mistake, he made eye contact and bowed his head.

At that time, I heard Soi, who was walking with me, talking to himself in a low voice.

“Rosnante… … ?”

oh

Zeke felt cool as if a fog had lifted from his head.

‘I wondered where I’d seen it, and this looks just like Rosnante.’

If you think about it, Rosnante also rushed in first, but after the true education class, he rolled his tail and bowed his head while quietly noticing.

Of course, unlike then, I have never touched Sedan directly, but

His eyes were twinkling like that of a local mutt with a motor attached to his tail.

Then Zeke realized that he hadn’t responded to Sedan’s words for too long.

“Ah, sorry. Wait a minute, someone came to mind. That day, I made a mistake too. apologize.”

Thinking of Rosnante like that, the bottom line naturally flowed from Zeke’s mouth.

However, there was no discomfort on the face of the sedan who received the lower class.

His face straightened as if he had never had a downcast face.

“Oh oh!! no! Thank you for accepting my apology! By the way, did Sir Zeke Kleiman see someone like me!?”

“yes.”

Zeke nodded.

“Are you strong!?”

“… … It is within five fingers.”

‘Of course, out of five.’

“Oh oh! What an honor! To think that I am similar to one of the five strong men recognized by Sir Zeke Kleiman! In fact, I also graduated from the Faculty of Knights of Ramieli Academy! It would have been nice if I had only been born four years later. Then I would have been able to take Lord’s swordsmanship lessons with Serena!”

That’s how Zeke and the atmosphere loosened up to some extent and Serena’s name came up on the tongue.

As if a motor was attached to his mouth, Sedan began to tell the story of Serena from her birth to the present.

From how cute Serena was when she was born.

How lovely was the spirit of a child practicing swordsmanship alone.

And how proud it was to whimper and get frustrated every time something went wrong, then stand up again and hold the sword with weeping eyes.

At first, Zeke wanted to listen to Serena’s story, but it was only a matter of time before he got tired of talking to him.

Soyi was bombarded with praise from Serena just because she was walking with Zeke.

She muttered with dead eyes beside her.

“… … It’s good that Rosnante doesn’t have a sister like Serena… … .”

“Well? Come to think of it, you said you were Serena’s friend.”

Sedan reacted to Soyi’s self-talk.

“Ah! De, did you hear!? Yes Yes! Undeservedly, I maintain a close relationship with Lady Serena Joheiden!”

“hahahaha, you don’t have to be so polite. As long as you and Serena are open and comfortable, you can do the same to me.”

Sedan said with a cheerful smile on his lips.

“How can I… … . Sedan Yoheiden Youngsik has already graduated from Ramielli, I heard… … .”

“Whoops. yes. I know what you mean. Originally, Ramiel is such a place. It speaks of equality, but it is not equal, and the relationship that has been there is only a deadline in the end. When I was in school there, I had a friend who was also a commoner.”

“So, finally… … . Can we no longer be friends after graduation?”

In Soyi’s mind, the faces of the friends taking swordsmanship classes with him came to mind one by one.

“Um, what… … . In a way, you can see it that way. I just said I had a friend who was a commoner.”

“yes… … .”

“Let me briefly introduce you to that friend. Gias! Come over here for a while!”

I looked back at the sedan and called the name of one of the drivers.

Then, the chestnut-haired knight who was walking in line behind them frowned and trudged toward the sedan.

“… … what. sedan. I am currently active as a Yoheiden knight, so what if I call you by that name?”

He spoke in a quick, whisper-like tone.

“hahahaha. Sorry. I wanted to introduce you to Serena’s friend.”

“I know enough that Serena-nim is cute now that I am also of the Joheiden Knights, right?”

He answered Sedan’s words as if it was a start again.

“Ah, that’s a really good thing. I mean, those words come out of your mouth. When I was in school, even hearing Serena’s name made me hate it. Whoops. Enlisting you in the White Tiger Knights was my best choice.”

Soyi’s eyes widened at the friendly conversation between the two.

“… … Come on, are you a commoner… … ?”

“Well? you that… … . Ah, the girl who delivered the bread. I lived thanks Thank you so much.”

“Oh, no.”

“Anyway, asking for my identity. That means you’re a commoner too… … . Ahh. That’s how it happened.”

He nodded as if he understood the situation.

“I asked someone I made friends with at Ramieli Academy about what happens after graduation. This is my answer.”

Sedan put his arm around the knight’s neck.

“Huh! hey! His Excellency the Duke sees it! Now, the knight commander is also watching. Yaya! release quickly! bastard! I’m getting cheered up!!”

The knight didn’t know what to do and tapped Sedan’s arm, but Sedan spoke to Soyi as if he had no intention of releasing it.

“From a public standpoint, we have no choice but to maintain respect based on status, but that is just a kind of show. However, in a real relationship, I and a friend decided to live like this, but who would say what? It’s just a matter of the two of you. It is no hindrance.”

“Ah-.”

Exclamation escaped Soy’s lips.

“Of course, it will take a lot of time to build that kind of relationship. Apparently, there are also the eyes of the surroundings. I won’t say it’s easy.”

Sedan met Soi’s eyes and spoke in a serious voice.

“However, what is clear is ‘you’. If you keep in mind what you want to do, you will definitely be able to graduate from the academy with a good relationship.”

Zeke quietly admired the scene from the side.

‘Hey, I thought it was just a Rosnante MK.2. It’s quite… … ? I wonder if Rosnante will change like that when he gets older.’

Rosnante talking maturely… … ?

Write it, no matter how much I imagined it, it didn’t draw well.

The knight who visited here for a while returned to the ranks.

Soi was deep in thought.

Silence lingered among the group.

Then, it was Sedan who broke the silence and opened his mouth again.

“… … I, Sir Zeke Kleiman.”

“Well. You can just unify as an instructor.”

“Yes, Instructor.”

“Anyway, if you’re going to tell Serena’s story again, would it be okay to listen to it later?”

As the Serena alarm rang loudly in his head, Zeke quickly added his words.

“Ah, yes. Instructor. I’m not here to talk about Serena. However, there is one thing that I am curious about.”

“Well. Let me tell you.”

Zeke answered with a visibly relieved voice.

“What I want to ask is the author… … . Would it be okay to leave it like that?”

Sedan glanced at a gray-haired woman trudging along, tied to a rope at the back of the ranks.

“I’m sure he’s leaving it there for some reason, but… … . I hope you don’t make me feel bad. Still, he’s a dangerous person who tried to take our lives… … . I wonder if you leave it too unattended… … .”

“Ah, since there is a place to use it, I will put it there. don’t worry I will definitely make you pay a fair price.”

“A fair price, is it… … ?”

“Yes, that woman will drive a knife through Lost Hope’s heart with her own hands.”

Sedan’s eyes were stained with doubt at Zeke’s words, which twisted his lips.
