Chapter 164

Usually, it is rare to see the king come out of the palace.

In order to govern the kingdom of Alain, he always stays in the palace because he has to deal with related affairs.

In addition, the royal knight commander would be the first to dissuade him, as escort stability would decrease if he left the palace.

Still, there must be a reason for coming here.

‘That person seems to be silver… Is the Royal Knight Commander in the back?’

Shion recognized the people around Brandis at once.

It was the first time I saw a man, but I couldn’t hide that magic and atmosphere.

Glonet saw through the fact that the Royal Knight Commander was carrying out his mission alone, as he often encountered him while entering the palace.

“Shion, how should I do this?”

“… I think you should be quiet now.”

Shion immediately recognized the meaning after meeting Brandis’s gaze.

It’s been a while since I came to get some fresh air, so I hope you pretend you don’t know.

It happened that he was wearing a suit and even a hat, so he wouldn’t be noticed at all.

“Should I leave?”

“Your sister is right. I’m going to go see my errands.”

After exchanging glances with Hanette, Shion quickly moves.

Even in the midst of this, he was conscious of Brandis, and the two arrived at the checkout counter at the same time.

“I’m here to pick up what I ordered.”

“What is your name?”

“This is Shion Regard.”

“… Oh, could you wait a minute?”

The clerk recognizes the name and hurries through the files.

Originally, it was common to send the equipment to the customer’s residence when it was completed, but unusually, the customer came without a message.

In addition, since the opponent was the son of the Marquis of Reggiard and also the incumbent Setinos Quasar, he had no choice but to be more nervous.

“Hmmm… The equipment you ordered was completed yesterday and is scheduled to be delivered to your home today. Do you want to take it now?”

“Yes.”

“ah… Okay. I will prepare it right away.”

The clerk quickly stepped away and disappeared.

Since it is a famous blacksmith’s shop in the capital, many knights and nobles come to visit, but this time the guest had to be treated more than that.

Even when I first visited, the store owner came forward and entertained me, and even wrote down the contents of my order and sent me off on the way out.

Most of all, the Marquis of Reggiard was intertwined with the royal family and the Duke of Adelaira, so he tried to act as prudently as possible.

‘Then the person next to you is your fiancé?’

The clerk is stained with a great sense of fear while remaining confident.

The smithy was wiped out by only one Shion Regard, but if the fiancée came along, it would be out of control.

In fact, she was the person closest to Shion Reggieard, and at one time was called the Mad Lady.

‘… Oh right. I thought this order was a gift for my fiancé.’

The store owner immediately called the blacksmiths after receiving the order from Shion Regard.

There weren’t many cases of women’s armor being made, and since expensive materials were used, they tried to improve the level of perfection as much as possible.

Perhaps because of that, the blacksmiths put more effort into making the equipment than usual, and the shopkeeper was able to finish it only after a detailed inspection.

‘If it’s like a gift, I’ll have to pay more attention.’

Although each person is different, even if there is a problem with the things you use, you can pass it on in moderation.

However, when it comes to gifts, even small scratches are unacceptable.

It was to react sensitively to the gift itself as it added to the person’s face and sincerity.

“Sir.”

“… What’s going on?”

At the clerk’s call, the blacksmith inside the blacksmith slowly answered.

After inheriting the smithy, he hadn’t touched the smithy at all, but he was examining this armor meticulously.

The young Setinos Quasar expressed his sincerity after a long time because he wanted to present an armor for his fiancé.

“He is here.”

“Who else came this time?”

“The black knight.”

“… You came again?”

The blacksmith asked again, taking his eyes off the armor belatedly.

I could get the armor in half a day, so why did I come all the way here?

“Looks like you came with your fiancé.”

“fiance? Are you talking about the duke’s daughter?”

“Yes.”

“after… … .”

The blacksmith makes a deep crease with his back fully turned.

The Setinos Quasar was also burdensome, but even the daughter of the Duke of Adelaira came to visit.

I wondered if he had come to see the armor he was about to receive as a gift and the smithy that made the armor.

‘I wonder if you came all the way here because there was something to see… … .’

The blacksmith brushed off the dust from his clothes and headed to the counter with the clerk.

Even though there were many people looking for their blacksmith, it was not easy to see nobles or descendants of counts or higher.

At that point, there was a separate smithy or exclusive smithy that received equipment, so there was no reason to find another smithy.

‘I’ll come to the king after this.’

“It’s ironic.”

Brandis lifts the brim of his hat and looks at the two of them.

The two stood in front of the cashier, looking at each other.

He probably noticed his thoughts and didn’t come close.

“I think I came to make a reservation. If not, he must have come to retrieve the reservation.”

Kaden responded leisurely with her purple eyes shining.

Originally, he had to keep an eye on the witches in the periphery.

However, he could not ignore the king’s call, and returned to the capital because there was a workaround.

‘… You won’t need a weapon.’

Brandis peeps at the magic sword’s energy and has questions.

Shion was able to use Seonghui’s magic sword, Acid Rain.

It would be more powerful than any other weapon, and even compared to the same magic sword, it would have had an edge to some extent.

I wondered if he had come to buy equipment other than weapons.

“Are you trying to buy armor?”

“… I dare to ask. Whose armor do you think you came to buy?”

From noblemtl.com

Kaden asked politely with a meaningful smile.

Brandis responded immediately with an expression of incomprehension.

“What do you mean? Of course, he must be buying armor for himself.”

“My opinion is a little different. It looks like you are trying to buy some armor for someone else.”

“Someone else?”

Brandis tries to find out about the other person, but soon looks away.

Standing next to the young Setinos Quasar was the woman he promised to marry.

She always wanted to be with the young Setinos Quasar, and was not afraid to go to war.

What did the young Setinos Quasar think of her?

“… You are giving it to your fiancé.”

“Yes, I think so too.”

“It is a truly meaningful gift. Isn’t it more valuable than any other gift?”

Brandis turns her head completely with a smile on her face.

A noble lady would be interested in luxuries like accessories, perfume, and dresses.

I’m sure I could have taken care of those things, but I was thinking about the comfort of my fiancé, so I was going to buy a new armor.

“They are a well-matched pair. If Black had lost his life, I would have resented myself.”

“Are you talking about the battle with Narak?”

“I came out too late. Black almost died because he made the wrong choice. As you said, I made a mistake because I couldn’t get out of the past.”

Kaden was still bound by memories of the past.

He probably wouldn’t be able to wash it off forever until he died.

However, if you don’t overcome it, you can’t move forward, and you end up becoming weak after standing still.

In order not to repeat the same mistake, shouldn’t we go beyond that limit?

“… You are not alone. Many, like you, cling to the past. I am one of them.”

Brandis calmly replied as she looked around the weapons hanging on the shelves.

As time goes by, the kingdom of Alain changes, and this world also transforms.

The monsters who seemed unable to subdue were reduced in number before they knew it, and the skilled knights were defending the kingdom of Alain.

A lot of things are changing, but I couldn’t stay in the past alone.

“So I gave you a chance. Aren’t you making an effort?”

“It doesn’t have to be me. Even if someone else is chosen… … .”

“Did you not understand what I was saying? I just gave you a chance Why do you think it was?”

“… … .”

Glonet was eavesdropping on the conversation with the scabbard in her left hand.

Originally, if the king was released from the palace, the entire royal knights would have to be mobilized, but due to the king’s order, only one knight commander of the royal family was to escort him.

At least a member of the Setinos Quasar was staying, so I wondered if it would be possible to replace at least some of the members of the Royal Knights.

“You created Miss Brandis. I’m still ashamed of that name, but I can accept it a little bit. You have changed, so why can’t I?”

It wasn’t until Glonet heard that that he fully acknowledged Caden Athlore.

I thought I was lucky enough to become a Setinos Quasar after only stealing, but in the end, it even shook Brandis’ heart.

Most of all, I couldn’t help but think that Kaden was amazing because he looked only at Brandis and even protected that heart.

“one… It wouldn’t have changed without those two. Aren’t you like that too?”

“You are right.”

“So I have to see with my own eyes that these two are getting married. If anyone gets in the way, I will not forgive them.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

From noblemtl.com

Kaden and Glonnae are surrounded by silence and cautiously look out at the two.

What will happen if the relationship between the two of them deteriorates or the marriage breaks up?

‘Should I secretly go and talk to you?’

‘I’ll have to get married to be able to get over safely.’

Karon Belaz Continent, Alpine Zone.

The Bone Dragon, Veldaz, made a high mountain his residence, and periodically visited other mountains.

If there were enemies, the location would be easily discovered, but no one tried to fight the Bone Dragon.

Even the 3rd demon king thought only that there was a body made of bones, and the 4th calamity only looked back from time to time.

However, the Bone Dragon did not realize that such a habit would become its own weakness.

“Big hahahaha… Ha ha… … .”

The slime dragon Monzurure melted the bones and sucked them into his body.

As expected, the Bone Dragon was a tricky opponent, but it certainly took a surprise attack and inflicted a fatal wound.

If the Bone Dragon hadn’t exposed its location, wouldn’t it have been able to hold out a little longer or run away quickly?

“This is not enough… … .”

The slime dragon is intoxicated by great power and possessed by great desire.

The color of the body has already changed to red, and the body made of slime has changed to a fixed form.

Even though I felt that I was becoming a true dragon, I couldn’t go beyond that.

“I just wish I had Grosiran! Kaaa!”

“… I guess so. Since the Shadow Dragon is extinct, there is no going back.”

“Who are you!”

The slime dragon poured out hideous magic and found its presence.

Beyond the dark red curtain, something was outlined.

“Would you like to negotiate with me?”
