083. Instructor? What’s wrong? (4)

soon-

soon-

The head of Joheiden. Purna Joheiden led a part of the White Tiger Knights and left the duke’s mansion and headed for the island.

“My lord.”

Side by side, Serena’s little brother and the second of the duchy. Sedan Joheiden said with a firm face.

“yes.”

“The savior of Serena’s life… ㅁ. No, do you know anything about a man named Zeke Kleiman?”

“I don’t know. Other than that he’s a swordsmanship instructor at Ramiel Academy, there’s no exact information yet.”

“Savior of our Serena’s life… Is there any possibility that it’s a suspicious guy who approached me deliberately…?”

“Aren’t you going to check that out now?”

Zeke Kleiman Zeke Kleiman. Pruna Joheiden repeated his name.

Then, suddenly, I sighed at the thought of Serena.

“Haa, more than that, our Serena was in a life-threatening situation, and it’s really that she didn’t know that at all. It’s absurd…”

At those words, Sedan couldn’t help but bite his lip.

The fact that I almost lost my little sister who would not hurt even if I put it in my eyes without realizing it.

And he was feeling deep remorse for the fact that he had provided the cause of that carelessness.

Sedan looked back on his mistakes.

“As expected, it seems that Serena should have stopped learning the sword somehow.”

“…isn’t it dry?”

“No. We only talked about it. In fact, we all know that the head of the household secretly watched Serena during her early morning training.”

“Kuhm…”

Pruna Joheiden cleared her throat with a shy expression.

Even now, Serena believed that she had been training without her family knowing.

In fact, there was no one from the Duke of Joheiden who did not know her sword training.

A silver-haired girl who couldn’t even learn how to hide her presence comes out to the gym early in the morning and grabs a sword with a serious face. When I’m immersed like that, I completely forget that it’s a secret training and it’s hot! hot! gave a shout

A combination of clumsy swordsmanship and cute spirit. There was even an appreciation meeting called the Observation Meeting to see the precious sight, so it was a part that showed how much the people of Joheiden cared for her.

However, apart from that, Serena could not provide support for learning the sword in earnest.

For Geum Ok-yeop, the youngest princess of the duchy, sharp blades were too dangerous, and she knew very well that she had no flair for swords.

If she insisted on her sword to the end and later became a general and was dragged into a dangerous battlefield, it would have been obvious that she would be injured or cause her colleagues to die due to her wrong judgment.

The Serena her family knew was such a nice and tender child that she could never bear the guilt.

So I tried to tell him in a good voice, and I tried to turn my gaze to the other side so as not to get close to the sword. He even spat out cold words for the first time, but in the end everyone raised the white flag.

After all, not a single person in the Joheiden family could stand being seriously angry with her and then receiving resentful glances from Serena!

In a sense, Serena was the youngest and strongest princess in Joheiden.

“Then, why don’t you dry it down a bit!”

“How can I do that! The other day, I spoke a little louder, but then I said that I wouldn’t talk to my older brother anymore, and that he hadn’t eaten with me for a week.”

“Ha ha, tsk. I didn’t expect to last at Ramieli for over a month… but didn’t you suggest that too!”

Furna Joheiden became frustrated with the lack of Serena for a long month and threatened the second.

Sedan then shut his mouth like a mute who had eaten honey.

“…”

In fact. The family also knew that Serena had prepared for the academy.

Again, it was disappointing that, although it was stopped on the surface, it was not possible to stop what she was preparing behind the scenes.

Second, the words of the sedan.

‘The swordsmanship classes at Ramielli Academy are harsh. So, the classes at the academy will take on the villains that my family can’t.’

He fell for the persuasive words and turned a blind eye to Serena’s admission.

I didn’t even put on surveillance, saying that I should make Serena feel lonely and make her come back quickly, but no way, her life was in danger!

The family head glared at the second with a disapproving face.

“Really, if anything had happened to Serena, you wouldn’t be alive.”

“Yes, I don’t intend to live in a world without Serena. I will gladly accept the punishment for putting Serena in danger this time after I meet her. At least I won’t worry about her with a hurt face before we meet.”

A father who threatens his son’s life for putting the youngest princess in danger

A sedan with a grim face saying that he would be willing to accept it again

Just being involved with Serena made me feel like I was losing my intelligence.

“Anyway, first of all, it’s a pity that I couldn’t see Serena this time.”

“Huhm, that’s right. I can’t help it because I’ve been given the title of Duke.”

Sedan nodded and thought of his eldest brother who was buried in a pile of papers with a despairing face.

at that time,

dag dag-dag-dag-

They saw the scout who had been scouting ahead of them return with a pale face.

“Go, Duke!!”

“Hmm…?”

“There’s a body!”

“dead body?”

“Yes, yes… you, there are so many that I can’t even count them… Uug…!”

Recalling the situation, the scout vomited.

“Calm down. Tell me more about what you saw.”

“Chew, there were corpses with a gruesome appearance… they were all over the place.”

“The location.”

“Follow the giant trail near Hygma Forest, and you’ll find it.”

“Hmm, is it a monster?”

“That, that… I don’t know. At first glance, it looks like a sword… but the cut surface is too clean to be called a sword.”

gulp.

The scout swallowed.

“So, did you check that you made it?”

“No. There wasn’t…. I didn’t see a single ant within a radius of 100. Probably avoiding the existence there… It seemed like everyone ran away.”

Gaju frowned.

Finally, on the way to meet Serena, he encounters a sudden anomaly.

Of course, it is still quite far from the island, but it can be reached in half a day on horseback.

That means that the system is also exposed to a range of risks.

In other words, it is a matter directly related to Serena’s safety.

The head family felt the need to check the place.

He turned his head toward the sedan.

“First of all, you should go and meet Serena. I’ll go check out the forest.”

“Patriarch! It’s a dangerous place!”

“This is not only a matter of Serena’s safety, but it is also directly related to the safety of the system.

“Then me too!”

Pruna Joheiden shook her head.

“By now Serena should have received a letter saying we’re coming. If we don’t show up by the hour we’re supposed to arrive, Serena will be worried. So you can go and reassure her.”

“but…….”

“Right now, Joheiden’s White Tiger Knights, Choi Jeong-ye, are together. What are you worried about?”

Sedan wanted to send his father to Serena and stay, but

The knights brought here were the elite knights who took special measures and only received orders from the head of the family.

Sedan closed his eyes and shook his head.

“……I understand. Instead, you should only check the danger and come right away.”

“Yes. Say hello to Serena.”

“Come quickly and tell me in person.”

“I really… I know.”

* * *

“Huh? Serena. I’m saying I can cut all the heads of Justia?”

Zeke urged Serena to answer.

‘Instructor’s power is unreasonable… … .’

What would happen if you nod your head here?

Serena met Zeke’s dark eyes and fell into deep thought.

‘In the end, even Justia’s Assassination Squad failed to deal with Instructor.’

Perhaps, the instructor would have been safe if he had not declared Zeke as his benefactor this time and provided political protection.

However, with a little anxiety and the thought that he might have to leave his side, he eventually went ahead with it… … .

Serena became more confident after learning the mysterious power of mana from him.

That Zeke’s power is beyond what he could have imagined, and that if he started in earnest, the whole of Justia would surely be able to produce meaningful results, even if it was overdoing it.

Serena hates Justia.

No, beyond hatred, I sometimes even feel disgust.

If it were his older brothers or father who were here, they would have no doubt nodded.

Everyone in Joheiden had the experience of competing with Justia and losing their precious subordinates and vassals due to their dirty tricks.

Obviously, their tricks are correct, but in a situation where suspicions are piled up one by one due to insufficient evidence, the instructor steps in and kills them?

Is there a story that is as convenient and appealing from the point of view of Yoheiden?

Of course, you will have to deal with chaos that is close to frenzy, and you will have to have a tedious political tug-of-war with the emperor over a huge rice cake dumped in an instant, but it’s hard work from Joheiden’s point of view, and it’s not something you don’t want to do.

However, Serena could not nod her head.

It wasn’t pity or sympathy for Iriel.

She, too, is a member of a noble family. Even though he shows a fierce attitude at times, it’s only in front of his own people.

In the first place, those whom she chose not to keep close to her are not even allowed to stay around her.

Still, since she is the youngest princess of the duchy, let’s say it’s a conflict with Justia.

It was just a small quarrel with Iriel, and there was also the fact that the life of a precious person was never directly taken away.

Rather than those things, the instigator who caused the incident.

The treatment of Zeke Kleiman.

No matter how much he was his benefactor, from the perspective of his family, Instructor was previously Justia’s person, and he is nothing more than an easy-to-cut outsider.

A murder has occurred in the duke’s family, but no one is taking responsibility?

It couldn’t have happened.

At the very least, the empire must force someone to pay the price for their crimes, and must punish them with a cruel punishment. Because that was power and that was nobility.

ha… … .

Serena let out a long sigh.

The sudden change in Zeke was also embarrassing, but

I never expected to make such an offer, so I poured my energy into something that was not worth worrying about.

“Instructor. There’s no way I would want that.”

Serena shook her head.

“Why? You don’t like it, Justia. I don’t like them either.”

“Instructor, I saved Iriel just yesterday, but what are you doing when you suddenly kill Justia?”

“Ah, I’ll leave Iriel alone.”

“Then wouldn’t Iriel hate the instructor?”

“What does it matter if he hates me or not?”

Zeke tilted his head as if there was something wrong.

Somehow, Zeke’s thoughts were overly extreme, as if a screw was missing.

‘… … Maybe, this is the true intention that the instructor has been hiding all this time… … ?’

“Instructor, do you hate Justia that much?”

Serena asked Zeke with a serious expression.

“Huh? Hmm. It’s more annoying than hateful…? Hmm? Do you mean the same thing? No, just a little annoying?”

“But why do you say you’ll kill them all?”

“You hate it.”

“Yeah……?”

Serena was speechless at the unexpected reply.

“If you want, I can even kill the demon king.”

Zeke smiled brightly like a boy.

“That’s why you are so precious to me.”

pounding.

Serena’s heart raced.

‘This, was this person originally such a direct person?’

at that time. The butler came to Serena with an urgent face.

“Three, Serena-sama! A letter has arrived! The head of the household and the second son-in-law are coming soon.”

“What!? When!!”

“It’s coming soon!”

Serena looked at Zeke with shaky eyes.

‘Ha, when it’s like this… … .’
