Chapter 131

“You want to fight me? why would you say that… “

Harnette raises her voice, but then shuts her mouth.

Did he know that he would see something like that in Zion?

My heart was already shaken, and even the feelings of frustration and sadness seemed to fade.

“… I thought a lot. Can I die like this? What will your sister be like? Did I make the right choice? something like that.”

Shion shows tears and struggles to continue the conversation.

It wasn’t that I was crying because it was intentional or because it had a special meaning.

It was just that my body reacted first as so many emotions piled up and intertwined.

“At first I thought my actions were right. Because I die and save others. by the way… I fell first without being able to kill the Narak King. I thought something was wrong.”

“… … .”

Hanette did not take her eyes off Zion and listened to her words.

From his words and facial expressions, sincere emotions were oozing out.

Looking at her teary purple eyes, I wondered if my heart would feel heavy for some reason.

“… After knowing that I would die in vain, I regretted it. I thought I shouldn’t have done that.”

Shion poured out all the emotions he felt when he met Lesia.

I don’t know what will happen later, but at this moment, I wanted to convey that feeling.

Risking my life and wanting to live again were all wishes from Hanette.

“I should have lived for my sister, not die for others.”

Harnette could no longer ignore Shion.

My heart trembled violently, and the thought of wanting to console me continued to well up.

However, since she had to listen to Shion’s words to the end, she only reluctantly remained silent.

“Even my colleagues couldn’t believe it. It didn’t work out the way I thought, so I just became impatient. I was greedy, and I only thought of myself.”

Of course, Shion overcame death by awakening the acid rain.

With that power, he defeated the Narak King and reduced the damage of his allies.

It was all achieved with his own strength, but he would never have reached the result without Hannett.

“I was able to come this far thanks to my sister.”

Shion looked at Harnette and spoke with difficulty.

If Hannette leaves her, she cannot bear to hold on to her.

Even if this resulted in a broken marriage or the separation between the two families, they would have to accept it humbly.

“Now I will live only for my sister. No matter what others say, I will be by your side. Can you trust me one more time?”

Shion takes a deep breath after saying everything he wanted to say.

Hannette showed a sad look, then slowly opened her mouth.

“… I still believe in you Have you ever made a mistake? Just because you made one mistake doesn’t mean I hate you.”

Harnette raised her right hand and placed it on Shion’s head.

Then, while stroking it slowly, capture the warmth and touch in your mind.

“I won’t call you a kid anymore. You are a knight who protects me, and you are the companion I promised to marry, right? So don’t leave my side again Without you I… … .”

Hannette feels her throat choke and cannot bear to speak.

Shion Reggiard was someone he could rely on and trust, and a fiancé he needed to help out with.

I couldn’t fall if I wanted to fall, and no matter what happened, I had to be together until the end.

“Don’t leave first. I don’t want to be left alone.”

“… … .”

Zion did not say or do anything.

I could only feel the emotions that flowed through my hands.

As much as he thinks of Harnette, isn’t Hannette also valuing himself?

“I won’t go first. I will always be by your side.”

“It must be so. It’s a promise.”

Hannette hung up her little finger and waited for an answer.

Shion smiles and points her little finger in the same way.

‘… It must have worked out.’

Kaden slowly steps forward while hiding his presence.

I secretly watched the two of them just in case.

Fortunately, the result was amicable, and even if they returned to the capital, the relationship would not be broken.

‘If you guys do well, I can do well too.’

From noblemtl.com

Kaden thinks of only one person with anticipation.

If it were her, she would be interested in receiving a report on the contributions made by Shion and Harnette.

Since he also held a sword, he wondered if he would look back on himself at least once.

‘Wouldn’t it be nice to have a meal with you if you’ve done this?’

Of course, if he only raised the mantra, he would suit himself.

But there was a huge difference between what he asked for and what she ordered.

If her heart moves first, wouldn’t there be a chance for him too?

‘I think I should meet those friends one more time… … .’

royal palace, royal palace.

Brandis received an urgent report from Allied Castle and immediately took action.

Supporting troops to replace fallen knights and soldiers, supplying materials for establishing camps and maintaining the front line, and preparing countermeasures to respond to the invasion of demons.

Even now, high-ranking officials were pushing the agenda, and the commander-in-chief was preparing to dispatch additional troops after sending out an advance party.

‘King Narak… … .’

Brandis is haunted by a faint sensation as she recalls old memories.

They clashed swords with Keremion, the King of Hell, and poured all their energy into killing each other.

In the end, they couldn’t win, but they were satisfied with just protecting the kingdom of Alain.

However, if you look at it from the point of view of the prosecutor, not the king, it will only remain as an unfinished regret.

‘Are you saying he’s dead?’

When Brandis first received the report, he couldn’t help but be suspicious.

It was an opponent he couldn’t even kill himself, and it was even written that he had become stronger than before.

However, after learning about the article about killing the Narak King, I quickly accepted it.

‘Last time I killed the 4 great calamities, but this time I also defeated the 3 great demon king.’

Brandis let out a laugh as he closed the letter.

A nobleman who learned swordsmanship at a young age and made great contributions to the eradication of the rebels.

A knight who defeated the Shadow Dragon at the age of 19 and the King of Hell at the age of 20.

Even if you look at the entire history of the kingdom of Alain, the number of people who have accomplished this feat could be counted on one hand.

‘I would have gotten help from other knights.’

The three Setinos Quasars fought against the Narak King, and the daughter of the Duke of Ternane and the leader of the Silage Knights also participated.

Even though the walls of Aliard Castle collapsed twice, the damage was greatly reduced, and the demons thoroughly defended themselves from invading the kingdom of Allain.

It must have been because they were gathered to defeat the Narak King and drive out the demon beasts.

‘However… It’s a job that requires skill.’

Shion Regard’s skills were superior for his age, and it should be considered that his garage was overflowing.

In terms of talent alone, he had surpassed his own level, and he was still showing off his strength.

The more I look at it, the more valuable it is, but if I hadn’t left it as it was, I wouldn’t have been able to subdue the demons.

‘Hanet Adelaide has become much stronger.’

When we first met at the palace, I only saw her as Shion Reggieard’s fiancée.

He considered it bold enough to risk his life, and let him go along with Shion Reggieard to do well.

But at some point, he obtained the title of mage, and now he was looking at the title of grand mage.

‘I threw away my greed and got something bigger.’

Brandis felt sorry for not being able to enlist Shion Reggieard in the Royal Knights.

Sometimes, I thought that maybe I should have arranged an arranged marriage with the 3 princesses.

However, the result was not bad, rather, it was creating another possibility.

‘This is something that neither I nor the previous kings have been able to do. If the two of you keep coming forward… … .’

Brandis was hoping for peace and rest to dwell on the Karon Belaz continent.

In my mind, I wanted to build up a large army and subdue the demons, but I couldn’t guarantee that it would succeed.

That’s why I tried to achieve minimum safety by killing even the strongest monsters.

‘I’ll have to pay as much as I’m greedy.’

The two of them made a big contribution, so they had to give them a decent reward.

In the case of Shadow Dragon, it ended up giving preferential treatment to the families to which the two belonged, but this time, he intended to hand over more than that.

You will have to make sure to attract them to your command and make them retain their loyalty and pride for a long time.

‘What can I give you to be satisfied… … .’

The two were nobles who inherited the lineage of dukes and marquesses.

From the time he was born until now, he has lived a wealthy life, and even other nobles could not treat him carelessly.

It was not easy to meet anyone other than himself, the immediate royal family, or nobles with the same title.

There wouldn’t be many rewards that they could be happy with.

‘When giving, there must be a justification.’

There is a big difference between a gift that is given with meaning and a gift that is given without thinking.

If it had meaning, even if it was simple, it would reach the heart, and if it was simply given a rare item, it would end as a short-lived reciprocation.

That’s why I wanted to give the two of them a really necessary and deeply meaningful reward.

‘Well… Even if you get married, you will have to give a present… … .’

After much thought, Brandis unfolds the map of the Alain Kingdom.

The two of them would one day leave the family and become independent.

When that time comes, there will be many things to prepare for, and considerable costs will come.

If it is a gift that can alleviate that worry, wouldn’t it have a good meaning?

‘The capital side is difficult, but other places can give.’

Brandis follows the capital and surveys the neighboring territories.

The northern and southern regions had to be excluded because the climate was biased to one side.

In the end, only the eastern and western areas remained, which already had a large population and buildings.

There were also places owned by nobles, so I couldn’t pick anything at random.

‘It’s difficult. Was the territory of the Alain Kingdom so narrow?’

Brandis slumped, pushing the map to one side.

No matter how many times I thought about it, there was no land to give to the two of them.

There was no vacant land on the capital side, and the two of them wouldn’t like it if it was too far from the capital.

That’s why I looked around the capital, but there wasn’t even a plausible castle or mansion, let alone land.

‘I can’t give it to you… … .’

Brandis corrects his posture and draws a simple conclusion.

In any case, it had to be meaningful, and the two of them would have to be satisfied.

It was not that there was no way to satisfy both conditions.

‘I have to give both of them a choice. I wonder if there is at least one piece of land that I want to own among this vast land.’
