41 – Family

“The guardian of the Dawn Castle meets with the matriarch.”

The one-horned Yuma slightly lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed.

Strong, noble, and beautiful.

Three words are enough to describe the woman named Yuma.

“I see you often these days.”

The number of people that Yuma honors can be counted on one hand.

The man, Glenn Frien, naturally looked down on Yuma.

It is an attitude that makes it clear who is above and who is below.

However, even though he was a superior, Glenn’s appearance was more suited to the word shabby than Yuma, who was wearing a pretty dress.

His red hair is shaggy, tied back roughly, and his face is covered in unkempt beard.

There is no need to mention the outfit.

He must have been lying on the floor without any mat, and his mud-covered coat and worn leather sandals make anyone who knows his identity smile wryly.

“I think you’ll need to stop by the castle soon.”

Yuma was no exception. Although I stopped by the castle just a few months ago and replaced it with a new one, I quickly found myself dressed like a beggar.

However, despite Yuma’s concerns, Glenn frowned like an adolescent son who is fed up with his parents’ criticism.

“nagging…”

“If your words of concern are nagging, I’ll do whatever it takes. “Of course, I will come here more often.”

“…Do whatever you want.”

Glenn scratched the back of his head and sighed softly.

He had a hard time shaking off his sloppy attitude since childhood, and Yuma’s nagging always followed him. The same applies to becoming the head of the family. Glenn avoided the glare and pointed next to the campfire.

“Sit down first. “Why are you still standing there?”

The place he pointed to was a dirt floor without a mat or anything. It was not appropriate for a well-dressed woman to sit on her butt.

The attitude of the head of a great family towards subordinates is quite rough,

“It certainly is.”

Yuma, the person involved, actually smiled.

For her, location or tools do not matter.

Because once you make it, it’s enough.

match-

At the signal of hand clapping, the soil rose up and a table, chairs, and tea set were created.

A nice pavilion was built in an empty campsite, and instead of the acrid smoke, the smell of tea was in the air.

“If you need anything else, please let me know.”

Yuma tilted the teapot and poured black tea into a cup.

However, instead of holding the teacup, Glenn held out his hand towards Yuma.

“letter.”

In the current situation, there was only one thing he wanted. In the fragmentary memory I saw in my dream, there was a scene where Yuma handed out a letter to Glenn.

Glenn hated being delayed by a future that had already happened.

“Here it is.”

Yuma took out a letter from his pocket and placed it on the table.

The twice-folded letter was sealed with a wax seal. Glenn ignored the paper knife Yuma had prepared and ripped the seal.

Soon his wistful eyes began to read the letter.

To my dear father

As the eventful succession ceremony came to an end and I had the opportunity to say hello, I am writing a few words from my poor son.

How is your father?

I’m getting along well with my sister.

I always wanted to have a younger sibling, but how did my father know and grant my wish? Thanks to this, I’m happy because I’m not bored every day, but I guess I can’t help but be curious.

Dawn Castle was too stuffy and uninteresting to confine a hero, so I decided to follow my uncle. The same goes for Lucia.

Even if you try to see us, we probably won’t be there at Dawn Castle.

P.s.

I heard from my uncle that he can see the future? So when will I die?

——-

widely-

Glenn put the letter back on the table.

“this…”

Glenn groaned as he washed his face one after another.

But as if it wasn’t a reaction that came from pain or fatigue, when he put his hand away, his eyes were drawn with arcs as if he had seen something interesting.

“Yuma.”

“yes. Lord.”

“Do you know the contents of the letter?”

“Do I look like a fool who will do whatever I am not permitted to do?”

“Then read it.”

After Glenn’s permission was granted, Yuma reached for the letter in front of him.

Yuma calmly reads the letter.

After confirming that her eyes were wide open, Glenn continued.

“I thought there would be some shocking content… But even though I was prepared, this is something unexpected…”

Glenn reached for the tea as if his throat was burning.

“A child asking his father when he will die. Yuma. “Did you order it?”

“no.”

“I’m reluctant. There’s no way you could tell Siron about the power of prophecy first.”

An expression that says he took a hit. Glenn looked at Yuma with a wry smile.

A look in your eyes that wants an explanation.

But Yuma couldn’t open his mouth. This is because Shiron hated it when Yuma was shaking.

“I guess there’s something I can’t tell you about.”

Glenn tapped his fingers on the table.

As far as Glenn knew, Siron never left the Dawn Castle.

Yumago was the one who watched Shiron’s every move.

Even though he knows everything about Shiron, there’s no way there’s something Yuma doesn’t know.

Eventually, Glenn arrived at a certain fact.

“Shiron has captured your heart. “You put Shiron ahead of me, the head of the family.”

“…You are a very charming master.”

Yuma smiled softly at the man in front of him.

Does that mean he is the father and the son?

The wry smiling expressions are strangely similar.

From noble mtl dot com

Excitement flashed across his face, his bored eyes set.

“The next head lord is Bona Mana Shiron. Because I liked you.”

Glenn stretched and rose from his seat.

As if expecting a fierce battle, his eyes were filled with spleen.

Kurrureung-

Black thunder was approaching from far away.

“I don’t think I will have time to write a reply.”

“You are an apostle.”

“Just say, ‘I don’t know.’”

Glenn didn’t feel the need to lie.

The power of prophecy, which lifts the veil of nature and allows us to see just a little bit of it, did not show the future of poetry for some reason.

Emperor Lien.

“You’ve been rude so far.”

Bertha bowed to Hugo. She was holding a small briefcase in her hand. A clanging sound came from my strangely strong hand.

Siron approached Bertha and spoke softly.

“Relax. “Don’t get caught by showing that you’re different from usual.”

“Yes, don’t worry.”

Bertha looked at Siron and smiled bitterly. I remembered the mock interview I had with Siron for two days. Siron trained himself to respond to her by thinking of every conceivable situation.

“bye! “Police sister!”

As if they had just become close friends, Siriel raised her hand and greeted Berta as she walked away.

Unlike Lucia, who was haggard after a long flight, she was still full of energy, like a child.

After getting off the platform, everything was smooth sailing.

Hugo left Johan to clean up after him, then unpacked his belongings and called a carriage.

Wearing a suit rather than armor, Hugo shaved off his messy beard and became a more clean-cut, muscular gentleman.

“Look.”

Hugo had the driver stop the carriage and stopped by the flower shop.

After a while.

Hugo held a large bouquet of flowers in his hands.

“Oh my goodness…”

“oh my god…”

That sight made Encia and Ofelia, who were riding in separate carriages, widen their eyes.

That would be too.

Hugo, who is more suited to the word bandit than knight, showed his sweet side.

Since they were together for 18 years, it was natural for me to doubt my eyes.

We finally arrived at Hugo’s mansion.

At first glance, Hugo’s mansion, located in a neat area where only the rich lived, was large and luxurious enough to be outdone by the dawn.

No, if Dawn Castle was like a medieval castle, Hugo’s mansion was like a castle built about 500 years later.

and.

Noticing that the owner had returned, the front door of the mansion opened wide.

The carriage passed through a courtyard lined with maids and stopped only at the end.

Dalkak-

When I opened the door, what I saw was a woman who looked exactly like Siriel.

“You came back.”

The woman with a smile like a lily in full bloom is Eldrina. She was Siriel’s mother.

Hugo placed a bouquet of flowers in her arms.

Eldrina, with a blush on her face, smiled.

“Why did you prepare all this? “You must be very tired.”

“Okay. “Rather, I just feel sorry for being away from home so often.”

“mother! I missed you!”

Siriel got off the carriage, ran over and jumped into Eldrina’s arms.

A picture-perfect picture of an ideal family.

There was no room for Siron and Lucia to intervene.

‘It’s embarrassing.’

Shiron smiled awkwardly and watched the happy family from afar.

“…Shiron.”

It seems Siron wasn’t the only one who felt that way.

Lucia held Siron’s hand.

Did you not want to become a foreign object interfering with a harmonious relationship?

Lucia looked down slightly, and a look of discomfort appeared on her face.

Siron swallowed the bitter smile that was about to appear.

‘This guy is mentally weak…’

Even when I showed her the holy sword, the Lucia I had seen so far didn’t seem like the reincarnation of a hero, but rather just a girl who was a bit stronger than her peers.

Siron was curious about how Lucia achieved the feat of sealing the demon god. With a mentality like this, it would have been difficult to kill a person, let alone a demon god.

Siron hugged Lucia, who was cowering a lot, and patted her on the back. This guy takes a lot of work.

“are you okay. “You have an older brother.”

“…what?”

But somehow Lucia’s reaction was strange.

Siron released the hug and looked at Lucia.

“huh?”

“What do you mean?”

Lucia looked up at Siron with an expression as if she was saying something incomprehensible.

“No, didn’t you just hold my hand? “As if he was lonely.”

“I held your hand because I was worried about you…”

“Why are you worried about me?”

“Well… you don’t have a mother?”

“You don’t have a mother either, right?”

“Well, really?”

“…”

‘What is this?’

I made a mistake. As soon as Shiron thought that, he felt his face getting hot. It was the same for Lucia.

“K-K-Hmm… Let’s go and say hello. “Standing around… do something.”

“Yeah, yeah.”
